WHEN DRIVEN FROM THE EBBITT
HOUSE HOUK GETS ON A
BIG DRUNK.

Immediately after Houk's expul,
sion from the Ebbit House, in Wash
ingtou, on the first day of Septem-
Der, he got on a glorious drunk. He
went into the saloon at 327
Pennsylvania avenue, owned by
L. W. Shook, and then
drank until he became bolster
ously profane and furiously drunk.
He told a crowd that he was "a men,
Der of Congress from Knoxville, and
was now busy in canvassing for re
election, and was certain to be res
elected by big majority" He then
furiously cursed the Democracy, and
this brought drunken Democrat,
who was sitting in the corner, to his
feet. He told Houk he had insulted
him, and he was about to knock our
statesman down when IL. Campbell
duaked with fear and bawled out
Hold on, my friend, let me erptdin
to you. I am as good Democrat
as YOU arel" Then KnoxvilIe's Con-
gresham called up and treated the
whole party of half dozen. Houk's
appearance and conduct were such
that none of the crowd believed he
told the truth in saying he was a
Congressman until he was about to
leave the bar>room, when one of his
boon companions, who was known
to some of the crowd, came in and
confirmed Houks statement that he
was an East Tennessee Congress-
man Before leaving Mr.. Shocks
saloon Houk was so drunk that he
was led out.

THE LAST DESPERATE MOVE.

The last despairing move on the
political chess>board has just been
made by Houk, in the announcement
by that worthy, of rallies at all the
county sites on the day before the
election. This is but another at
tempt to deceive the people, and Is,
in common with their whole cams

vertised to make speeches are Judges
Staley and Rodgers, Postmaster

THE IMPORTANCE OF ONE VOTE.

In the last issue of the WIG AND
CHRONICLE, which our subscribers
will see before the election, we urge
upon the friends of Mr.. Rule the i'm
portance of getting out early and
voting. See to it that every friend
of law, order, decency and every man
who wants a sober and industrious
member of Congress is at the polls.
Very often in the history Of this
country great results have depended
on ONE vote. Over thirty years ago
Marcus Morton was elected Cover
nor of Massachusetts, over Edward
Everett, by just one vote and that
too in total vote of one hundred
and twenty thousand. The treaty
by which the Republic of Texas
was annexed to the Federal
Union passed the United States Sen
ate by just one majority. The late
Governor William Allen, of Ohio,
was elected to Congress by just one
majority. In 1875, Andrew johnson
was elected United States Senator
by one majority. Thomas jefferson
was elected, over Aaron Burr, Presi-
dent of the United State by one vote.
In our own State, in the Memphis
district, Hon. Fred. 2, Stanton was
elected to Congress over the late
Hon. Ed. NJ. Yerger, by one vote.
Bearing these facts in mind, let
our friends appreciate the importance
of one vote, and see to it that every
friend of Mr. Rules is at the polls.

orary degree of A. M. He had been a
member of the Presbyterian Church since
1882, and an elder since 1866, and was
several times a member of the General
Assembly OF the church lie was an oc-
casional contributor to the Princeton
hecieao while 1t was an organ of the Pres

articles being The Anointment of Jesus
by Mary of Bethany The Perpetuity
of the Sabbath" and Goods Seventh
Day of Rest. In the article on 1.-THE
Perpetuity of the Sabbath" he took the
position-probably never suggested be-
fore-tbat many Hebrew local laws were
declarato,y of the moral law, just as
many English statute laws are ieclaratory
of the common law. For mole than q
quarter of century he was superintend-
ent of the Sabbath School, and had for
years conducted the Congregational Bible
class in the Rev, DIR. Studdiford's church.
For many years he was q most dilipent
student of the sacred Scriptures. Thor
oughly orthodox in his belief, he was also
independent and original in his Bible in
vestigations, taking nothing at second
hand, but seeking to find for himself the
meaning of the inspired text. Few lay.
men gave as much attention as he to tile
study of the Bible, and not many of the
clergy were better versed In the principles
of its Interpretation.
