BEN HILLS AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
The Late Senator's Simple Story of
His Own Life-A Struggle
Against POverty-A Slave
Owner

Three years ago Senator Ben Hill
sent the following terse autobiog-
raphy to his friend, DIR. 81. W.
White, of Atlanta II was born in
Jasper County, Ga, September ID,
1928. l was the seventh of nine
children and the fifth of six brothers.
My father was small farmer, owns
ing few slaves only. All his sons,
therefore, did all the farm work, and
all his daughters did all the house
hold work. My mother cat and
made the clothes we wore, and most
of them We're spun and wove on the
plantation. L worked on the farm
from the time l was eight years old.
and black and white came and
went alike in all work. Nv
father was man of COM
mon education, but was extensively
read and of great influence in his
neighborhood. When l was ten
years old Gin 1889 my father moved
to the county of Troup, new
county, and his lands were all in the
woods, and 1 helped clear them. I
walked the entire distance from the
old to the new home, over 100
miles, helping to drive the cattle.
My father would always have q
school house, a church and a tenn.
perance society near his house. He
was always trustee of the school,
class-leader and steward in the
hurch, and president OF the tenn

WANTS THE sINEws OF WAR.

Washington Special to New York
Evening Post: Representative Houk
is here to get sinews of war for his
canvass in Tennessee. The cans
didacy of Mr.. Rule makes it neces-
sary for Mr.. Houk to put forth his
best efforts, though he seems confir
dent of reelection. He is a mem-
Der of Jay Hubbell's committee, and
as such has superior facilities for
getting at the cash-box of the party.
WHEN WILL HE ALTAR IS IMPRESSION
n. Y. Herald: Hon. Leonidas
Caesar Houk, member of Assessor
Hubbells matchmaking Congression~
al committee and member of Con
gross from the second district Of
Tennessee, wrote the Herald some
weeks ago that there was no serious
division among the Republicans of
his district district in which, at
the last general election, the Repub-
licans outnumbered the Democrats
two to one. AS Colonel Brownlow,
voter in the same district, wrote
the Herald about the same time that
MIR. Houk has sent his own personal
assessor among Tennessee office
holders in Washington to collect two
per cent. of their salaries, the same
to be passed to their credit on Mr..
Hubbell's list, it seemed that Mr..
Houk's reelection was assured, SO
far as numbers and money could
make it. But now we read that Mr..
Houk is in Washington for the pur>
pose OF getting more money from
Mr.. Hubbell. Is it possible that
Mr.. Rule is so hard to defeat as all
this demand for money indicates
And if he is, what else must happen
before Mr.. Houk will altar his i'm
preston that there is mo serious
division ?"

his DEFEN Sc.

Philadelphia Record: Represen-
tative Houk, of Tennessee, whose
defence against specific accusati on
of drunkenness was that he had not
been drunk for at least two weeks,
has certain amount of sense in his
campaign for re election. Instead of
making display of himself at home,
he has gone to Washington to milk
Jay A. Hubbell's committee out of
sufficient funds to make his calling
and election sure.

TO you OF those great questions which arc OF

that It is impossible In my election In Maine

the election you arc about TO decide

those who go about telling YOU or attempting

Republicans are anxious to avoid, mistake the
fact for there certainly Is nothing before the
people OF Maine rs important as Is the choice
OF four representatives In the National Com

Senator OF the United states, but Governor
Plalsted is covering the State to-day and Will
speak 10 you shortly in this city, telling you
that there are very important state Issues
which should, first and foremost, DO decided
by the people OF Maine"
In concluding his speech, In abiding TO tho
abolition OF slavery and the part taken therein
by the Republican party, Mr.. Blaine said
And, gentlemen, you pirate OF the south ana

THE REVOLT IN THE RANKS
OF the Great Parties of Several

To-.

New York paper yesterday morning prints
tho following:
"Mr. Conkllng declares that party ties were
never held so loosely. Thirty thousand re.
publicans OF ohio will this year vote the Dem
ocratic ticket. Fifty thousand Pennsylvania
Republicans are now determined TO glvo tho
State n Democratic administration, while the
only hope of success among the regular Re.
publican leaders is based upon the chance OF
winning to their candidates large Demo-
cratic support. Enough thousands OF Demo-
Gratis, the leaders of tho revolt In North Caro-
lima say, Will follow them out of the Demo
cratic ranks to put that party In hopeless
minority In the future. There are certainly
unknown factors In the vote of Indiana and
Michigan, of California West virginia aud OF
New York, TO set the politicians Of both par
ties adrlft in n sea of doubt. There is re.
bellious element In both parties said DEM
ocratic Senator to the writer. which Is seiz'
Ing upon any excuse for revolt. Its purpose
takes the name Of reform; Its real object Is
destruction This element, whatever are Its
underly ing causes, VIII give the Republican
