to be driven to the top o. the hills, so
that they shall not get their feet too

John p. Robinson, the subject Of one
of James Russell I.owelps "Hosea Big

of the town OF Lowell, n scholarly gen
tleman and Il wit. 1t is said Of him
that he had read Homer's "Iliad" SO
much that he could recite nearly the
whole OF 1t from memory. Mr.. Robin
son was Il fnvorite stump speaker about
the period Of 1910. lie was Whlg
and had the ambition to represent his
district In congress.
In 1912 lie received the Whlg nomi-
nation for this position. 1t was u bad
year for Wing candidates, rs the Lib.
erty party had then begun to present
nominees against 1t. a majority was
at that time required to elect, and
there was no choice at the regular elec.
ton. The Wing party, always timid,
feared Mr. Robinson could not be elect
ed on further trial and induced him to
withdraw from the contest that 1t
might present candidate more nc
ccptablc to tho antlslavcry men, This
was severe disappointment to Mr..
the Wings and bitter toward the anti
slavery advocates.
few years later, after General Ca.
lcb Gushing had been In the Mexican
war, he was nominated by the Demo
Gratis rs their candidate for governor
of Massachusetts, upon which Mr.. Rob
