Philadelphia Press: Holes Pentose was
elected to the lowei house ut Huirlsburg in
1SS5, w hen he w as only 25 j eai s of age,
and manj lemembei the tall, lather
gaunt figure of the joung Phlludelphlan
who occupied a seat In the extieme real
low of desks to the ilsht of the speak
er's dils Ho was at all times a giace
ful and fluent talker, and his iaio abll
itj in this line boon won for him a dis
tinction in that bod which will long
be memorable as having contained miny
men of binlns and ablllt. One of the
sulking changes In recent ycais In Sena
toi Pento-e's manner has been the almost
entliu absence of gesticulation In con
nection with his ihetoilcul effoits. When
he Hi st appealed in the house he Ubcd his
aims in emphasis with a long sweeping
motion. 'When he becamo emphatic ho
would strike tho bound bundle of bills on
his desk until It fnlily bounced. Put thnt
lias all disappeared, even before ho as
sumed the henatoiial toga. In bpeaklng
now Senator Penrose takes an ensj atti
tude and nbout the only gestuio In which
he indulges is with his right hand, which
he uses with Index flngci pointed toward

men who have known and associated
with him foi j ears, Is his amlabllltj Ills
manner to those whom he meets for the
Hi st time is rather distant and icsered,
but closer acquaintance develops his
frlendlj qualities and once the lco is
broken he Is found to be one of the most
companionable of men. It was in 1SSS that
Penrose advanced trom the lower house
to the upper. He brought with him to tho
senate chamber the piestlge of an able
parliamentarian, a fluent speaker, and a
correct logician, Ho had coirected his
early mistake of attempting to speak on
subjects in which he was not vitally in
terested and tho result of It was that

Allentown Chronicle. Wo have the best
reason foi believing, in ill sincerity and
honesty, thut tho Ilepubllcans of Penn
sylvania and the people of tho state In
general will have np teason to l egret the
election of Ml. Penrose. We believe that
FUbsequcnt events will dcmonstiatn the
wisdom of his choice. He will enter the
United States senate with an uuassallablo
title and no arc, confident that In good
time ho will rank unions the ablest and
most influential members o' that body.
Ho represents experience In legislative
matters, dcmonstiated ability, lino per
sonal presence, ready and convincing elo
quence, familiarity with tho great ques
tion of finance and tariff, industry, apti
tude for tho acquisition of knowledge and
a mental training that will combine to
make htm tho peer of any member of the
henate. Add to this tho oneigy and
stiength of his joung manhood and an
ambition to seivo his state ana country to
tho bust of his ability and he will measure
up to the full requirements of tho exalted
position to which the people of his state
through their chosen representatives have

been a member of the Peniisjlvanla as

ever been an Industrious, r-areful, wise and
diligent lawmukei. His piomotton to a

evident fiom the great majotlty given
him Mnnj gentlemen In tho state, emi
nent in various occupations, were eager to
ns-Fime the duties and icsponslbllltles of
United States senatoi, but few of these
could present an equal claim on tho score
of fitness with Mr. Penrose, nnd though
the claims of each weiu cutefullj weighed
In tho public's Judgment tho populir mind
held fast to its Hist choice and stilctlv
adheied to the conviction that Mr. Pen.
rose wus the man for the place.
A llriglit Voting .Hnn.
Philadelphia Inqulier: Peniose Is a
joung man. The constitution pi ov ides
thut no man can become a smator who
shall not have attained to the ago of JO
j ears. Mr Penrose Is but 30, and jet for
ten eats ho has been a member either
of tho house of lepresentatlves or of the
state senate. Ho took high honors at col
lege, and both his studies and his Inclina
tions have led him Into stateciaft. He will
go to the United States benato with tho
Upe expetlenee gained In active and In
telligent work In the Pennsjlvanla legis
lature He has had a hand In nearly all
tho great measutes of tho past ten vears
Ho was a stutdj advocate of the Bullitt
bill, which forms our city charter, and
made It a "pedal study. Going to the
United States senute, as he does, at such
an eaily age, and with his natural abili
ties for statesmanship, he should become
u most valuable addition to the legislative
branch of the national government.

more In the struggle Just ended at Harrls

thing beside the1 senatoishlp was at stake,
A ear ago last summer Mi. Quaj had
another "greatest light of his life" on
hand, and after he had won it hand
somely and dtlven his enemies to covet
he did a most dramatic thing. He stood
up In the convention hall and announced
to all tho world and to the state of Penn

to Institute refoims In tho government of
that state, lefoims which would put a
stop to franchise celling, coiiupt legisla

sounded like sarcasm at his own expense
Hut tho curious pait of the whole chip
