The Contest for FIOater.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Disinclined as
we always are to mingle or meddle Ill poll
tics, nor are we now intending to violate
that rule of conduct, yet we cannot refrain
from making few suggestions in regard
to the propriety of electing DR.. j. G.. Ell
lis at the election on Saturday the 18th of
the present month.
1. 1t is proper that he should be elected
as representative of a class of men who
are seldom persuaded into politics. That
is to say, that being emphatically one of
the people, interested in the welfare of the
people, himselfan old-fashioned farmer and
physician, he not only knows and appre-
ciates the wants of the tax payers of the
State, but he combines those qualities of
moral worth seldom found III the aspirant
for legislative honOrs. ...
II. While his political opinions have
been well matured and scrupulouSly adj
hered to, yet he has been both liberal and
modest, as we'll as pre-eminently just in
his dealings with his opponents in poll
tics. ... .r..-.-.-r - q
III. To elect Dr. Ellis will be like go
ing back to original principles-selectin
the best men, men whose moral worth lifts
them far above party, to make laws for the
people. His election would speak volumes
for the people of this Pictorial District and
do much towards bringing us all back to
where we can elevate ourselves above the
level of the partisan and vote because of
the fitness of the candidate for the position
he seeks. -.. .-
We could say much more for DIR. Ellis,
having known him for more than thirty
years, but conclude by urging the people to
support him. ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

The Fortunes of Our Presidents and Great
OratOrs-HOw Much they Made
and Saved


jefferson died comparatively poor. In
deed, if Congress had not purchased his
library, and given for it five times it value,
he would with difficulty have kept the wolf
from the door. ...n ....
Madison saved money and was compar-
atively rich. To add to his fortune, how
ever, or rather that of his widow, Congres s
purchased his manuscript papers and paid
$50, 900 for them.
James Monroe, the sixth President of the
United States, died in New York so poor
that his remains found a resting place
through the charity of friends.
John Quincy Adams lett some $4,000,
the result of industry, prudence and in
heritance. He was man of method and
economy.
Martin Van Buren, died very rich.
Throughout his political life he looked out
for his interest. 1t is not believed that he
ever spent thirty shillings in politics. His
party shook the bush and he caught the
bird. #. Ell
Daniel Webster squandered million in
his life time, the product of his profession
al and political speculations. He died
leaving property to his children and his
debts to his friends. The former sold for
less than $4,000, the latter exceeding
S25O,0OO.
Henry Clay left handsome estate. II
probably exceeded 100000. He was q
prudent manager and scrupulously honest
man in all his transactions.
James K. Polk left about S15O,OO0; $50.
| 600 of which he saved from his Presidency
of four years.
John Tyler left $4,000. Before ht
reached the Presidency he was bankrupt
In office he husbanded his means and ther
married a rich wife. a.. -.
