Portrait and biographical album of Sangamon County, Illinois . organization ofthe House. Gov. Oglesby is a fine-appearing, affable man, withregular, well defined features and rotund face. Instature he is a little above medium height, of a largeframe and somewhat fleshy. His physical appear-ance is striking and prepossessing, while his straight-out, not to say bluff, manner and speech are wehcalculated favorably to impress the average in feeling and strongly committed to the pol-icies of his party, he intensifies Republicanismamong Republicans, while at the same time his jovialand liberal manner prevents those of the oppositeparty from hating him. He is quite an effective stump orator. With vehe-ment, passionate and scornful tone and gestures,tremendous physical power, which in speaking heexercises to the utmost; with frequent descents tothe grotesque; and with abundant homely compari-sons or frontier figures, expressed in the broadestvernacular and enforced with stentorian emphasis,he deliglits a promiscuous audience beyond measure.
