Wabhinoton, .hmiiarv 14.?''For !
President, Arthur P. Gorman, of j
A1 aryland; for Vice President, Isaac j
P. Gray, of Indiana 'This, wit i the i
addition ' in 1X92,'' was what a dis- i
tinguished Democratic Senator i
wrote the other day on his visiting i
card; and suggestively handed it i
vh around to some of his party ussoci- |
ates, Thev all smiled, as wo smile <
when our thoughts suddenly ton- ]
front us in another man's words with ,
a sense of recognition beyond t hat of ,
meeting old friends. For they had j
been thinking this, or something i
like it the variation being invariably
iii the name of the candidate ,
for Vice President. One had thought .
of Campbell, ?>f Ohio; another of ,
D'ckinson, of Michigan and a third ]
l?f liillGtt nf Idwu ftw I ln?
place on the ticket. A'o one of them ]
was expressing his preference, mind ,
yon, for one was Cleveland man .
ami the rest were not committed.;,
But 'lie interesting though! had oe- .
curred to every mind that if Clove-1,
land should not he nominated Cor ,
man might be. It is curious to oh
serve how general has been the j,
spread of this idea during these j
lighting days. Il is not confined t.o ,
the Senate. It has been found all
over the Democratic side of the
House. Gradually the fact that ; j
Gorman is a great, leader has gotten .
into the dullest or mod. reluctant j
mind, and as great leaders tire rare ? <
even in the Democratic party?it i.
litis been the most natural tl'ing in ?
'
tho world to go on from this to the j
belief that Gorman is a Presidential
possibility. As a disinterested ob- ,
server from the gallery, I am com ,
pel led to say that Gorman has dem- i
oust rated by hard lighting under .
most difficult conditions that ho is
the man to lead the Democratic par
ty in Congress. Yet this seems to be ,
11 great thing to say when I look .
down and see Carlisle and Gray, f
Vest and Harris, Morgan and Mc- ,
Pherson sitting beside him, to say ,
nothing of Mills and Crisp, the j(
Breckinridges and McMillin in the ,
^I J
House. It not strange that Gor- f
man lias had to wait for the recog- j ,
'
nition o/ hi? great talents, for he has {
* had to make his way through ranks <
of strongmen to the front of his I
own side before even engaging the !
enemy. lint there he is?the fore- *
most man of all, and that not by nc- j
oident, not by capricious choice, but 1
as the man accorded the place by 1
the general voice of bis colleagues.
GOKMAN's WONDKKFUL SUCCESS. i
v. Gorman's success is the more won- (
[ derful when you consider how little i
he owes to formal education. At 13, *
an age when most of his colleagues 1
who are in the front ranks of the v
Senate were about beginning their j
actual education, Gorman began life. 1
Several of the present members of 1
the Senate can remember him as a J
page running on their errands. Ilis (
face in itself has made it difficult i
for t hem to recognize his greatness, 1
> just as J am told the social leaders 1
in Baltimore do not recognize it ho- |
cause he lias not been a society man ,
all his life. As a a page in the Sen- i
ate, Senator Gorman got, of course, t
a practical education in affairs such j
as schools and colleges can not giro,
but, nevertheless, it lacked much ,
that schools and colleges could have \
given him, and which would have <
proven invaluable to him in his com- 1
petition*with the Representatives of (
MHr States later on. What developed r
Gorman and made his Senatorial ji
passible was an inborn love 1

Coincidently with his study of
?ooks has gone his study of men and
ilTuirs, ! think that there is noth '
ug in polites, practical or theoret ,
ea!, :Halt t ovman does not know. If
here is, and any need arises, Gorman
will master it as he has maslered
the Senate rules. From this
rough out ine yon can make the picture
of Gorman's equipment for the
iv?rk he is now doing so successfully.
In its process he is becoming an
irator, for it isstili true that an orator
may be made, although it is so truo
that orators as well as poets, are
born.
Gorman does not know how to
manage his voice, never having had
my elocutionary training, atul so
speaks to his own disadvantage in
hollow head notes, which are costly
md comparatively ineffective. But
I in knows what, to sav nnd limv to1
say it, and say it lie does fluently
md forcibly, lie docs not flounder
>r falter like Sherman, nor hesitate
md stammer like Plumb. He is so
sclf-poscssed that he can bear interruptions
yes, and turn them to the
advantage of his speech. Me*stands
'fisily, and gesticulates gracefully,
lie never becomes nervous or flusterMi,
but is always at the point of
smiling. 1 lis self-content is great.
Hut that does not explain his manner
Hehind all is his good temper
md his ready powers. I lis dignity
is natural, like his earnestnses.
There is no wittier man in the Sonde;
but few men in or out of the
Senate know tiie fact, for Gorman
knows how fatal wit is to Senatorial
mceess. His humor and his sense
?f humor save him, though from all
the follies and faults of those who
have tlicni not, and cushion him
igainst the blows of fortune.

itratcgy, If you did not know the
contrary you would sujiposo him
merely a disinterested observer. He
jeems far more so than tno enthusiistic
partisans in the gallery, who
ire constantly breaking the rules
with applause to the great indigna
iion of the side which they are not
ipplauding. lie looks just as plain!
and happy as ever, lie does not
sit like Iloar in one position, strainng
his nerves to a tense attention.
He walks in and out of the cloak

stiough and then sits down, signing
some other Democrat to take up

and obeyed by them all. This

a life of toil ami hardship very simi I n
l?r to that of Lincoln and Garliold ii
before they eauie into public notice. 0
lie has met all the common vicissi- '
tildes that besot the human family, ,j
such us poverty, poor crops, unfortu w
natojinvestments and impaired health, p
lie has been a pioneer farmer, a '
pedagogue, a soldier, u lawyer, a leg ));
islator, a lecturer and and editor. j,
Mr. l'fcffer was born in Cumber jc
land County, l'a, on .September 10,
18131, his parents being farm peoplo
of small means. The locality offer.
. P
ed limited advantage for education 8j
and training, and young^Pfeffer had ii
110 opportunities for advancement r*
except such as he could make for d
himself. lie attended the little
neighborhood school in the winter (|
months between the ago of 7 and 17 ci
lie was a close student and reader, n
and at the age of 15 had a teacher's P"
certificate, and was given charge of jj
a district school at ?10 a month,
from which he paid for his hoard m
and clothing and saved something <. 1
for books and papers. He taught
school for several winters and \vo"k- y
ed on the farm in the summer, and j.,
employed every spare hour in reading, j ;1|
At 19 he possessed a missollancous j p'
library of 0110 hundred volumes, was i ^
a ready debater, ami some of his com
muuicutions had been published by
the anti slavery aud temperance
press.

Ho married in December, 1852,
and removed to St Joseph County,
I ml, where he bought a small tract ^
of timber land and began to clear it vi
for a farm. lie was not successful t!
in the undertaking, and in 1859 he '*
went to Southwest Missouri and pur- ^
chased a farm in Morgan County. }l|
Then the war troubles came on, and, w
as he had expressed strong Union h
sentiments, it became prudent for .
him to make another move?this
time to Warren County, 111, where
he rented a farm, put in a general m
crop, and in August, 18(52, ho enlist- Jc
ed as a private in Company F, of the
88d regiment, Illinois infantry. c>>

Private I'feffer was commissioned tl
as second lieutenant, and was subse- ^
quently made depot quartermaster in .
a i 1 ir i
cm' engineer department, at i\asnvillc,
handling the supplies for the di
military division of Mississippi un- gi
der Gen Sherman. He served without
sick leave or f urlough until .Juno 1
26, 1865, when Ire was honorably w
discharged. li
Such leisure as came to him in the 1,1
army ho had devoted to study, and
after his discharge he opeucd a law
office in Clarksville, Term. He se- cc
cured a number of important cases m
growing out of the war, and proseeu- "
ted them successfully. In the
work of re-establishing peace in
the South, hefonk issue with the extreme
radicalism of Governor Brownlow
and labored for the organization
of a Conservative Union party in
harmony with tl.3 National Republican
party. After a four years' res
idence at Clarksville he grew tired
of the social and political condition,
and, sacrificing his property there, T1
ho removed to Wilson County, Kan., jjy
in 1870. There lie located a claim .
and again engaged in agriculture. 01
He also established a newspaper and
opened a law office at the county tu
seat. He was in the legislature ot of
1874 as Senator from Wilson and tjv
Montgomery counties. * .

and Faulkner, after consulta'ion
with the brilliant vonng Wolcotl
from Color ido, and executed so
smoothly that the result was loudly
cheered in the House and Senate
when announced.
Kvery democratic tongue in this
vicinity is to night sounding the
praises of Senator < lornum, and many
of the ablest Congressmen, including
I'ugh of Alfibamu, Vance and Hansom
of North Carolina, Butler of
South Carolina, Fust is of Texas,
Crisp of (Jeorgia, Mills of Texas and
I Flower of New York, declare he will 1
I surely ho the next Democratic eani

is defeated, His gciienijship in the
pending fight has challenged the ad
! miration of every faction in the Dcm-I
erat:e party, and the Southern contingent
is particularly enthusiastic
over him, These compliments do
not appear to have any "head-swelling"
elfeot upon the gallant Marylander,
and while his associates were rejoicing
he was busy perfect ing an arrangcincni
which makes tlm apportionment
bill the unfinished bnsi
ness to mnrrow. The scene accom

I was the <.011 f union in arranging I lie
pairs that the result was in .loubt
until the formal miioiuicerueiit was
made by the pre idiug officer. The
decision was greeted with a burst of
applause from the oecupants of the
galleries and smiles <>f satisfaction
from those Senators who voted to
j sustain free debate in 'lie Senate.
W hen the Senate convened t.hi*
j morning only a few persons on the
| inside knew the attack wouhl be i
I made before the day closed. !i was
j understood 'bat the Republicans
proposed to try and force tin adoption
of the "gag rule" to-morrow.
Senator (iorman concluded that
tho first blow, if well delivered, I
would be effeenvo, so tit the propdr j
time word, was passed for all
Democratic Senators to be in their
seats. Hampton and .Hutier wore
there, so were \ mice and Hansom;
but neither Drown nor Colquitt was j
present, although they were both
paired. Colquitt entered tho chum - '
bor some time after the struggle was
over. Woloott, of Colorado, was
chosen to move to take up tho apportionment
bill at a time when
Vice President .Morton was absent,
and Senator Piatt, of Connecticut.!,
was presiding.
The Force bill Republicans, including
A Id rich, lloar Ivlniunds,
J >olph Culloni and others, wore so
surprised that they seemed dazed at
first, but they soon rallied and fought
desperately to hold the fort, ft was
indeed a close call for the Democrats,
as they were defrauded out of i
two votes by an unjust ruling, which
deprived Senators Daniel, of Virgin
ia, and Suuiford, of California, from
being recorded ag;mist tho ru'o.
Senator Ribson, of Louisnna, cane
very near upsetting the pail of poli i
tic.il milk by absence without a pail* i
Senator Vest savocl the day oy indu i
ciiig S.iiatOl" Plumb to pair with <
(Jimon, thus enabling Vest to cast
he deciding vote.
I never saw so much excitement in I
the Senate before. The greatest dig
order prevailed on both sides. Sen i
utor AUlrich became so excited that i
he ignored the demand for order i
made by the presiding officer. Sena- c
tor Butler insisted tlth' order should t
bo sustained and Senator Aldrich be
Hunted. So the Rhode Islander finally
subsided. He and Senator Hoar s
together with other rampant Force f
i bill men, felt their defeat very keen- I
' 1 y, and are severe in their criticism t
I upon those li ipublieans who voted t
with tho Democrat*. *
Seitai' i' (ionnan says that the
tight is not over, as the enemy may
return to the field after the apportionment
hill is disposed of, as they a
did after the silver bill was out of
the way. Ily advises t'ue "Anti (lag
Uuloand Anti Force' hill men to
stand by their guns prepared to re
sist the attack if made. The mar- u
gin-is go slight, that the death of
Senator lJoarst, hourly expected,
may bring about a reversal oe the ,
situation.
Senator Aldrich regards the vot#
to day as a fair test of the strength
of his rule and he is not disposed to
press it fiirtlier.
Senator Hoar still has hopes that k
something will turn up to shvo his c
rorco um trom a long lingering death.- c.

Washingion, .January 21.?A
Litlicrous incident of this afternoon's
ebnte in the Senate was the fight of
onator Knstis before (Iranny I Tour's
urst of indignation. Mr. Eustis,
ho is one of the most graceful and
[fective speakers in Congress?a
uturul orator?assailed the hypocisy
ami intolerance of the State of
lassaohusetta till Mr. Hoar could
Land it no longer. IIis face turned
roiu red to white and from white
ack to red again, his chubby lists
l'asped and unclasped nervously,
nd lie gasped for breath after the
tanner of a fish ouf of water.
As soon as he could obtain the
oor ho rushed impetuously to tho
ofenco of Massachusetts. Not conent
with shaking his fist at Mr.
histis from his seat, Hoar walked
lowly toward tho chair in which
ho Louisiauian was sitting, gest faulting
with a vigor which he was not
uspeoted of possessing. Nearer and
eaivi' he p in <1 \v I *?
bout ten feet away the Lonisianfam
vidently expecting personal cbasis'fineiit,
rose hurriedly from his
cat and fled to tho roar of the chattier,
amid the laughter of Senators
nd spectators. Eustis. is about
vvice the size of Hoar, and could
asity take tlit! Massachusetts bigot
v the nape of hin neckband hold ^
iin alofj; but the disparity of size
nd strength only made the.light the
lore ridiculous.
uTlmt is the first time I overrun
way from n man," suid Senator Tinsis
afterward, laughing at the figure
I'hich ho must have out in his
ight. "1 didn't know but Mr* Hoar
as beside himself with rage?he
ertainly looked as if he was?and
hat he might forget himsolf and
ssault me. So I concluded to get
ut of the way, not for my own proaction
but for Mr. I [oar's. 1 didn't
ant to see Mr. Hoar disgrace him*
elf."
Jvistis has the reputation of being
no of the imperturbable men in
ublic life. Nothing excites him,
othiug ennoys him, unless it is thy
ceessity which occasionally arises
Dr exciting himself. Ho is tlie
irgesc man in the Senate, and that
i saying a good deal. Ho is so lazy,
; is reported, that.vjib often has a
ago bring his meals to the cloak
50m. that ho may he saved the troulo
of going down stairs after them,
lo says he rarely goes over to the
Louse of Representative because it

-and if Congress will put in an
leetric passenger railway between
10 two halls he will go over oftenr.

Louisiana people say Eustis, whoso
;rin expires March 3, could have
eon re elected if he hadn't been too
idolent to attend to his canvass,
[e is a lazy man, admits his laziness;
o oven luxuriates in it. Too listless
> prepare speeches, and too lazy to
leak often, ho nevertheless takes
10 door once in a while, and when
o does speak the whole Senate lisms
to him. His oratory is slow,
icasurcd, but majestic, magnificent,
o-day his arraignment of Massaiii.sotts'
bigotry and hypocrisy came
ith cxasporauug delibcraretrcsss
id crushing force from his lips,
etwecn his sentences Mr. tloar
>uid be seen writhing in mental
;ony, while good old Mr. Dawes
inked and wagged his head.
A story illustrative of Senator
ustis's imperturbability wa9 told
dav in the Senate cloak rooms.

uring the latter part of the war
r. Ens is was on fcho st/OT of (1p?

camo necessary for him, in riding
th orders to a distant part of a
Ulcfield, to pass through the lino
fire from the enemy's infantry j Q&
d artillery. While dashing over
e dangerous ground as fast as his
rso could carry him his hat fell
'. To the surprise of all beholders
d the dismay of his comrades,
ung Kustis wheeled his . horso. ?
out; rode up to tlio spot on whifch *7 jffik

bullets and f he whistling of '
