A correspondent of the GAZETTE tele-
phones the following: Thomas Weldin,
inspector of the Western district in Bran
dywine hundred, closed the polls on
Tuesday week at O'Clock in the after
noon. The people about the polls pro.
tested and called his attention to the law,
but he said he didn't care anything about
the law; he was going to close up. He
was working for the Temperance Reform
ticket. A number of people from Rock
land who wanted TO vote were deprived Uf
the privilege by the action of the inspeG-
tor. There is strong feeling against
him.
Editr Gdzette d Jounal: In looking over
your paper Of yesterday, was surprised
at the smount of mistakes your corre-
spondent furnished you in such small
space.
i. As to closing the polls at 5 O'Clock,
it was a mistake on our part, as found
the next day, but it was done with the
belief that we were complying strictly with
the law. AL the law we had was the code;
we could hear Of no other.
g. As to the people protesting il is all
mistake,a las we called not one but several
to the window and asked about it; men
who ought to know, and they said they
knew of no change in the law.
8. As 10 not caring for the law, it is q
mistake, as ! have always been a law
abiding citizen as your correspondent
can find If he will take the time to inquire
of any of the residents of said hundred.
T. As to working for the temperance
ticket is only one more his batch of er-
rors, as never worked nor voted for any
ticket but the straight Democratic ticket.

The Presidential succession bill has
passed both houses of Congress, and
is doubtless ere this a law. 1t pro-
Yides that in case of the death,
removal, resignation, or inability to
serve of both the President and Vice
President the duties of the Presiden-
tial office shall devolve, first upon the
Secretary of State, then upon the
Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary
of War, Attorney General, Postmaster
General, Secretary of the Navy, or
Secretary OF the Interior in the order
named should further vacancy occur.
Except in very extraordinary con-
tingencies not at all likely to occur,
this law secures to the political party
successful at any Presidential election
the control of the executive branch OF
the government for the entire period
for which its candidate shall be elect
ed-four years. Should the office
now become vacant by the death OF
Cleveland the succession would so to

alton of a military company here have
been taken, and it is expected that
the organization will soon be com
pleted. As the number of companies
forming the Wisconsin National

was long since reached, all military
companies now formed are indepen'
dent ones. forming no part of the
state militia and of course receiving

that the company being organized
