Mr. Williams would be a
plater, lie would nut be a good
huudred-to-oue shot. His personal
pulchritude is absolutely nil, but
there is no discount on the quality
of gray matter under his bat He
bae a hue, well-shaped head, covered
with bushy culling brown hair,
fine eye and a scraggy
but his body is small and .is th .11 as a
stepchild s bread and butter. But
where he defaults 111 comeliness of
person, he makes good in intellectual
brilliancy. Due forgets au abi-ut
tbe fact that he is not a physical
giant when he is ou ins feet, and you
are listening to lhat well modulated
aud penetrating voice and watching
that long index finger wbtob he per¬
sistency throws at the enemy. From
bis mouth roil chuuks of wisdom
aud eloquence fashioned in the most
exquisite itlngindf ever heard on the
floor of the House. It is an inte!
| ectn „l treiit t0 hear him. When he
rises be can always coant on a fall
press gallery and the cloak rooms ai
ways empty themselves into the
House, and that is the greatest com
,imeDt receive. an v ®««>h*r In short, <>f John the ST bharp 5
Williams is an able debater, a finish
ed orator, as true a democrat as ever
marked the earth, as brave as a lion,
and as relentless as fate when he
goes after a republican juggler with
facts and figures. When he gets in
action next w.nter there will be more
republican hair sailing around the
atmosphere of the House Ben than one
has seen since the days of Hill,
Lamar, Alex Stephens, Sunset Cox,
John Carlisle and Bill Morrison The
democracy is playing in luck this
time
