We believe that a good jndge of
ir.cn, on first meeting with Gor.
French, would instantly recognize
in him an honest man. Of middling
stature; with sandy complexion;
large, deep blue eyes; a rounded:
broad chest ; a sturdy build, and '
calm, modest, fixed attention, one is
impressed with liis equal physiolog
ical structure j his nrdent yet steady
temperament; Hj unassuming jit
fixed purpose; his high patriotism;
his warm friendship ; and his most
unquestionable integiity. In con-,
versation his manner is open and
frank. He talks most freely on the
great subjects of our State debt and
education. When aroused, lie gen
erally rises in warmth of expression,
until bis very purpose speaks in l.iin; :
lie is or course, constantly pressed
w ith tipplicmits for r flice, ond must
now and then say "No," but we be
lieve that no man could soy "No,
Sir," to an applicant, and make the
applicant respect him more success
fully than Governor French.
We are glad we went to Spring
field. We hate the most intense
feeling respecting our State debt.
