Show m:atok r.nuiMis. What a sterling old Roman the Vermont Ver-mont senator is, forsooth! Without a grain of personal magnetism to temper his rigid nature, ho easily commands the attention of his colleagues whenever he desires it. Never courting cheap popularity, he enlists the admiration of the country by reason of his wonderful knowledge and cool courage. A man who for twenty-live years can sustain himself him-self as one of the recognized leaders of the republican party and of the I'nited States senate, though he be associated with such eminent statesmen ns ClIAItl.KS St'MNKK, Ro.SOOK CoNKI.INO and James G. Blaine, must needs bo tho possessor of remarkable ability. Nobody has ever caught Senator Ei-mi.nhs Ei-mi.nhs ill prepared iLr any debate he cared to engage in. I He goes deep down into the philosophy of every question ho studies ana when he enters into a light ho draws this ammunition from an inexhaustiblifarsenal ;of facts. He is not a bigot, no bumptious, yet firm and golf reliant, aud when ho inserted in-serted his Utah reapportionment amend- ment into the legislative bill last Thursday Thurs-day we knew that in site of Vest and points of order he would prevail. And prevail he did. It is not often that an appeal of George F. Kiuirsnson a point of parliamentary law or any other law is not sustained in the senate. |
