Last Drink at the Grave.
Dawson Ga, Appeal.

In Dale County, only lew miles from
the Barbour line, lived few months
ago an old gentleman who bad given the
best years OF bis life to hard work and
free living He was free eater and a
free drinker. He was devoted to his
matutinal, ante-praniial and evening
tod, and he did not hesitate to say that
good article Of corn juice was about
the most satisfying thing he ever tasted
He was an excentric individual, and no
ted far and wide in the neighborhood as
helng in most Of his ways quite peculiar
Well, he discovered less than two months
ago that hs was approaching his end
and began TO make his final arrange
ments. He called his family around biz
dying bedside and made q last request.
He had read how Bob l gersoll had en-
ployed q secretary to take down his last
words when the end should come. so
that the Sunday school and Dorcas So
ciety book. could net forge, as he ap-
pears to think they would, final retrac-
ton OF his unbeliei The intemperate
old man would beat Ingersoll. He wa
determined that his last end should be
10 keeping with past sets Of bis life and
not a denial OF his habi,e. Only the
immediate family was to attend his iu-
neral, others we're not expected and did
not attend. When the coffin was ready
to be iowared into the tomb the eldest
son drew the lid and exposed the face tn
view He then moistened the lips Of
the dead clay with whisky from bottle
provided for that purpose, took drink
himself, passed 1t TO each member OF the
fsmily p, resent, all OF whom drank freely
when the death dealing poison was
placed In the coffin with the dust Of the
intemperate old man, and his remains
laid away to await the dread resurrec-
ton and judgment. This was all in &C.
cordance with the dead mans last artic
uIate request. 1t is not newspaper ey.
agseration. but the solemn truth. Pos
sibly it is the most singular funeral scene
that has taken place in Alabsma since il
was the hon OF the red men and their
papooscs. heads, b,ws, DC.

Scathing Comment on That Plat.
form.

The Republicans OF Ohio ssys in
their platform: s'The right to vote, ac-
corded by the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, is the concern of the whole
people," Well. for fifteen years one
half the male citizens of Rhode Island
have been deprived OF the ballot by the
State laws. For fifteen years the Con-
stitution has provided that "when the
right to vote is denied to any OF male
nhsbitants the basis of representation
shall be reduced in proportion" For
fifteen years The Republican party has
refused to enforce this provision of law
sgsin-t Rhode Island by reducing its
representation to one member. 1t does
not seem from this that the disfranchised
citizens OF Rhode Island can look with
much hope TO the Republican party, or
place much dependence in it's pledge
ito wage the contest 10 q successful
end From first 10 last the platform
adopted at the Springfield convention
last week is make up Of snivelling idiocy
and Gaming hypocrisy. II has already
disgusted the better class Of Republicans
in Ohio and it's supporters are sure to
receive at the polls the rehnke which
they SO richly deserve. Pitisqurg Post

More About the sIsight to vote.n

The Ohio Republican delegates were o

"The right to vote accorded by the
Constitution OF the United States is the
