raised a point of order against him. The
gayety of the chamber would have been
eclipsed by ruling him out, or by keep
ing him in the middle Of the road. He
was built to go his own gait in his own

felicity of manner and matter. He was
a very ready and merry little man, and
dearly loved tilt.
He found Mr. Belford difficult to handle.
He did not shrink from the contest, but
he never emerged from one altogether to
his satisfaction. The Colorado man had

of It's money Mr.. Cox was always too
full of smiles when the combat opened,
and Mr.. Belford would disappoint his
hearers by his references to my lovable
friend from New York.
Mr. Belford was known as 1.-The Red
headed Rooster of the Rockies and wore
the sobriquet jauntily- Where has he
been all these years? On the bench?
Has the courtroom been enjoying what
was intended for the political arena?
His fellow-citizens ought to recomms-
sion him and send him back to the
House. Many changes have occurred
since his retirement, and his old friend
Cox is dead, but there IS life in the
chamber yet. and his temperance there
would recall pleasantly to everybody some
very strenuous and worthy days.
