GEN. F. E. SPINNER.
The Old watch Dog of the United
States Treasury.

States Treasury.
The news of the recent illness Of ex-
United States Treasurer Spinner brought
regrets to all who have ever known him
sither in & business OF q social way, for
he was a straightforward business man
and a genial friend and companion. But
none will feel more sincere sorrow over
the news of his i'll health than the women
employees of the treasury department, and
in fact of the whole government. For 1t
was Gen. Spinner who broke down the
barrier which prevented their performing
clerical work for the government. This
occurred during the wal when regular
clerks were disappearing 10 enlist in the
army, and il looked as If there were not
going to be men enough TO 20 around.
Then il was that the chivalric Gen. Spin
ner suggested TO President Lincoln that
an opportunity be given women to take
the mems places where possible. II is
astonishing when we look at II TO think
of the opposition this idea met with.
But Spinner gained his point and the en-
tree of woman into the government SER
vice may be looked upon as a 'war meas
ure" Just as Ben Buffers. suggestion to
make the "darkics c|ontraband."
Gen. Spinner was born in New York
state in 1902. His father was a clergy
man and the cashier of the Mohawk Val
ley bank for twenty years. He gave his
son n classical education. He learned
several trades and then embarked as
merchant. He was appointed and held
responsible positions in the New York
custom house from 1916 to 1S49. He was
elected to the Thirty-fourth congress as
m anti slavery Democrat, and reelected
to the Thirty-fifth and Thirty, sixth con
crosses, though he was elected 10 the lat
ter as a Republican. On March 10, 1861
President Lincoln appointed him treasurer
of the United States, soon after which
which his wonderful autograph on the
paper money became a welcome visitor
in the households of the land. This sig
nature will always remain one Of the
curiosities Of chirography. Since TIN
generals sojourn in Florida during TIT
past ten years, it Is remarked that the al
ligators avoided his locality. Why thi
was could not be determined, until on
day a large gator was noticed crawlin!
out on the bank of a bayou where tn
general had, as was his habit, inscribed
his name with his cane in the soft mud
The ALI gator stopped when he came Il
the signature, looked at it in a puzzled
sort of way and then dashed back into tn
bayou as II the mysterious h%eiroglyphic
portended some terrible calamity for hin
at least this is the way the story goes.
Gen. Spinner retired to private life July
1, 1875 When he did so all the wealth
in the United States treasury till had to b.
counted. Then it was that q deficiency
was discovered amounting to ono cent
To account for this a memorable recount
ing took place, requiring days, until tho
missing cent was found and the genera
retired from the treasury, leaving balanc
ed books.

Tennessee : Eshy : Republican
A FIGHT TO BE MADE ALL ALONG
THE LINE.
Begin Work at Once!

Now Is the time to begin organizing for the
p rpose of placing Tennessee in the ltepubli
can column
Here is the result of the past lections and
the record OF our magnificent gains:
Tilden's majority In lSI6.......... .......... 1900
Hancock's majority in 1886. ...... .... ....... 22,339
Cleveland's majority In 1881. 9,l67
Bates majority for Governor In 1882 ,..... 22ySS5
Bates majority for Governor In lSBi...... 8,s2O
In the election of 1882, of 1870, 305 qualified
voters in the state 1921 26 did not vote at all.
In 1891 the number OF non-voters was reduced
to 1887. The epublican gain from the ranks
of the ~non-voters of 1882 in the election of
1884. on the candidates for Governor, was
1878 n the Democratic gain ii, 585.
An intelligent study OF these figures and
pastand presentconditions will con vince any
one that Tennessee Is Republican In voters
and that fair management and application
will make IL officially Republican In 1886.
The Knoxville Daily Weekly Chronicle will
be. In the font OF the fight, and even now Is
doing some excellent work for the cause. II

DEATH OF ANDREW J. ROBINSON.


Andrew G. Robinson, husband of Mrs L. O.
Robinson, the evangelist, died at his residence
No. 3l9 Broadway, at half past o'clock yester-
day morning On the 9th OF last November he
began his ffty-ninth year. It was Monday

trip to Chicago, where, the following evening
she was to begin series of meetings Return
ing home at noon he appeared to be unusually
WELL but within q few minutes chill came on,
which he did not think serious. He urged his
wife to fulfill her Chicago appointment, saying:
Il am not half as sick as you think I am" She
would not consent to any arrangement Of the
kind. for 1t seemed from that moment his condi
ton gradually grew worse. He fingered
until Friday evening with congestion
Of the bowels. Then acute rheums.
little by little made It's way TO the heart Satur-
day and that night until his death he remained
unconscious. Mr. Robinson had been an invalid
for years with on affection Of the heart. His
death closed nearly the twenty-sixth year Of a
happy married life and the twenty eighth year
OF membership in the Methodist Episcopal
Church. His interest in religious affairs was
always great and his Christian life was charac
terized by quiet but intensely earnest devo-
ton to his faith. Reticent he was rather slow
in making acquaintance, but when once formed
With his wife's work in the pulpit he had the
liveliest sympathy. He leaves, besides the wild
ow, four sons all but one Of whom are in bust
ness. The funeral services will occur Wednes
day morning and the burial will take place that
afternoon in Greencastle.
