biunt Cd. T.) Times.
In Franklin county, Ind, near Brookville
Ezekiel Bright, ninety-one years old, went three
miles to the polls and voted the Republican
ticket He has voted with that party ever since
it had an existence, and with the Wing ever
since he came of age. He was born in Mary
land in 1893. and moved to Ohio in 1920 He
was married in Ohio and Immediately migrated
to Indiana, where he settled on Congress land,
and lives to day in the same house he originally
built ffty-six years ago. He is grandfather to
Mrs. N. Johnson of Blunt, great grandfather to
Mrs. j. w. Duffy, and great-great- great grand
father to little Claude, son of j. w.
Duffy, of the Enterprise Two years ago the
five generations of his descendants met at his
house and enjoyed reunion He had sixteen
children by his only wife, and his descendants
are known to number 105 persons. He is in
good health but very feeble, and lives with his
two maiden daughters and bachelor son. Only
one of his sixteen children is dead, and he has
grandchildren considerably over fifty years old.
His descendant of the fifth generation, in Blunt,
shouts alternately for Blaine and Cleveland, but
is only three years old. By the time he is old
enough to vote there will be no Democrats to
shout for,

The Polite Pastor of Colored Church Joins
the Successful Party.
CAIRO, Nov. 22.-The colored fraternity of
the Methodist Church are in trouble, and all on
account of the election. The Rev. jackson, pas
tor in charge, Immediately after the election,
preached red-hot Democratic sermon, which
caused the utmost Indignation in the congrega-
ton. jackson, colored lamb of the church. took
the renegade pastor TO task for his infdety to
tine g. 0. p, which developed the pugilistic
pIopensites of the preacher who roundly de-
Tended his position, during which angry words
ensued ending in the preacher drawing a long,
hungry looking knife, with exceedingly un-
pleasant gesture which put the member to fight
Officer Tyler, in quiering the belHsrent pastor,
was obliged to draw his revolver Bishop
Brown, of Metropolis, was notified of the affair.
and after an investigation yesterday suspended
the preacher for drawing the knife without
reference to his Democracy. The affair has
caused much excitement among the colored
people

J. 5, Clarkson's Letter in Chicago Tribune.


Mr., Hatton is noted most and most loved by
his admirers, of whom am one, for his general
golden quality of frankness. The dignities and
necessities of court life seem already TO have
made him diplomatic to very accomplished de
gree. The gentleman Is kind enough to suggest
what Mr. Elkins Mr. Clarkson might have
done as Postmaster general had either been in
his place, do rot know how much of law Mr.
Elkins or myself might have stopped to hunt up,
but l may freely say that am sure either of us
would have hunted up a great many more op-
portunities to help the Republican party during
the campaign than Postmaster general Hatton
seemed able to find. Mr.. Hatton also generous

ROGUISH LITTLE NELL.
The Presidents Bonny Babe Celebrates Her
Thirteeath Birthday.

Washington Special.
The Presidents daughter Nellie celebrated her
thirteenth birthday to-day with few of her
girl friends at the Presidents cottage at the
Soldiers Home. At 4 o'clock with her cousin,
Jessie McElroy, she left the White House.
Il don't want it known" she said, ''or the
girls that not invited will look cross-eyed at
me. | like to have good time, but not big
time
The President stood at the window of the ex-
ecutiye mansion and watched her as she was be-
ing driven away 1t was Miss Nellie's own wish
that no publicity should be given to the celebra-
tiOn. For that reason she invited her girl
friends to meet her at the Soldiers Home and
not the White House
No boys were invited The little ones amused
themselves at playing childrens games and cut
ting the birthday cake containing thirteen can
dies.
Miss Nellie is a brunette, not what might be
called pretty, but pleasing and full of fun She
is the life of the White House, and is called by
the employees about there Little Nell" She is
about the average size Frequently girl friends
meet her at the mansion, as did the little friends
of Miss Fannie Hayes when her father was Pres
ldent.

Buying and Selling Votes.

DanNllle baHette.
There is no greater evil connected with our
elections than the business of buying votes
which is undoubtedly carried on at almost every
precinct in the country, Notwithstanding there
is stringent law against it, and part of the
penalty is Imprisonment in the state prison.
Ia NJ. Campbell informs us that he intends to
give special attention to this subject, and will
endeayor to secure amendment to the
present law that will repeal that
part of the law which makes the pen
atty Imprisonment in the State prison. and
simply provide that any man who sells his vote
shall be forever afterward disfranehised, and
also to compel any person who may he party TO
buying and selling votes to testify before a court
or jury, but to exculpate such person from pun
ishment afterwards. Public sentiment would
enforce the law if the penalty was only disfran
chisement: and if a few convictions were made
in this State, and few ''foaters' disfranchised.
our elections would be more fair, more respecta-
bic, and vastly cheaper than at present.

Soon winter will fasten his icicle fangs in the
throat of the warm sunshine and suck the red
blood from the dying sunsets Athwart the
sky, grey bars of mist will stretch, imprisoning
the earth and bidding defiance to the warmth
that seeks to reach her frozen bosom. And in
this white time that comes apace, the man who
lost his overcoat an election bet will call him
self an idiot.

The True Method of Temperance Reform.

Boston Herald
We believe that the true method of temper
ance reform is to teach and persuade men to be
temperate, or if they cannot be that to be alb
stinent. We have no faith in making free men
temperate upon compulsion. But we believe
nevertheless, in wise regulation and proper
taxation of the traffic, alike upon moral and
economic grounds. And If the temperance re-
formers can secure strict observance of the
Sunday closing laws, obedience to the inhibition
of sales to minors and respect for other salutary
features of the excise laws, they will do vastly
more good than in continuing their Quixotc
campaign for prohibition.
