Portrait and biographical record of Iroquois County, Illinois, containing biographical sketches of prominent and representative . many, especially in the Dem-ocratic party, as the best man in the State for aUnited States Senator. His business during life hasbeen that of the law. Few excel him in an accurateappreciation of the depth and scope of its principles-The great number of his able veto messages abun-dantly testify not only this but also a rare capacity topoint them out. He is a logical and cogent reasonerand an interesting, forcible and convincing speaker,though not fluent or ornate. Without brilliancy, hisdealings are rather with facts and ideas than withappeals to passions and prejudices. He is a patriotand a statesman of very high order. Physically he isabove the medium height, of robust frame, ruddycomplexion and sanguine-nervous temperament.
