Milcr, liceuian and Townsend. Mr. Cloud
applied uiiustilf well, but not only did be
a, p.y uiuiatlf to text books, but he has had
ac; Mucc his childhood to the splendid
liijrury iu Columbus, known as the Stearns
library. It is from this library that he has
oUuiucd a broad knowledge It is said that
there is ut a book in the library he has not
mastered. . When but a small child, his
friends tell me. Lis mother wquld have to
watch hiui iu order to get him to bed at night
He would sit by lamp or torch drinking in
the knowledge and thoughts of great men.
Hence Mr. Cloud Is a broad man, peculiarly
fitted for the duties of a legislator.
He is too modest to ask for honots and he
has not asked for this place. He Jias often
said to me that he believed, in the "office
seeking the man and not te man seeking
the office." Ikit knowing him to be a, true
christian man and knowing that to send him
to the Legislature from this county will mean

FeeUng assured that my friends will favor
such a man. Such a true and tried democrat
and such a true christian, I desire now to
thank them for the support they will gie him
on the day of the convention and also on the
denlial equation. It has served to accentuate
the beautiful domesticity of his home life sur
rounded by his accomplished young wife and
bis benevolent mother, Mrs. Phoebe A.
Hearst. Mr.-Hearst is a man who neither
smokes nor drinks anything intoxicating, and
he spends every hour possible from his arduous
work with his family. This I know personally
to be a fact, and yet there are political scav
engers in this country who insist on throwing
lilth at him. Chas. A. Edwards.
