l,hey say that President YES is NOT tee
totaler either, and this everybody who knows
him In Ohio says IL true Mr. Anyes never, 1t
seems. made any pretense OF dlslikiuy glass OF
vine until he he became President, ind be bas been
known to sit with friends In Germun beer
garden and lake bis share Of il buttle or two Of
vine without hesitation. So they say here
Ohio that even since he becnme President and
ostentntOusty refused wine to his guestsnt state
dihners. ne hns been known to take a gi,.ss or
two of wine freely and 1ovtutly ut other tables
thun his own and i'll other places than the White
House But 1t aee1ns he is tte great excmplnr
OF temperance because he has bantshed wine
from state al'Iners. nilu poor GARFIELD IL urged
ana oesought and poor Mrs: Garfield is worried
70 follow the splendid moral example Of Mr.. aud
''1s rhure ayss mrs: neon in CLEVELAND WIN hoo,
at Hayes state dinner. They say TINT thera
was no wine, but that there was rum-punch.
It was frozen rum punch, to be sure aud sume
OF GArhelds friends, who have heard about tho
run. rum punch, propose to ndvise him to make u
strict bargain with the total-absttnence bores,-
a sort Of Treaty of Mentor, US it might be
called. By this treaty they suggest Garfield
shnll secure to himself the right 10 drink un-
