HARRISON AND MORTON.

Against Cleveland and Thurman as
the nominees of the democracy at ST..
Louis, the great republican party of
this nation has placed in nomination
the loyal grandson Of "Tippecanoe
and Tyler too" and that distinguish
ed son of New York. Levi P. Morton.
The lines are now fairly drawn and
the battle will be pushed to the very
end of the contest, in a way that will
be neither childlike nor bland.
Gen. Harrison named Benjamin,
from his patriotic great grandfather,
who was a member of the continental
congress and one of the immortal
signers of the great declartion of 1776,
has loyal American blood in his veins.
His grandfather, VIM. Henry Harri-
son, so we'll known as president of
the United States in 1910, when the
rallying cry was "Tippecanoe and
Tyler too" was loyal soldier and
distinguished general of the war of
1s12-14, in which he won great glory
as the hero of the battle of the
Thames, as well as his sobriquet of
'old Tippecanoe."
He was governor of Indiana in 1901,
when only 2S years Of age, and the
laws which he secured the passage
of, regulating the sale of public lands
in small parcels, has had more to do
with the prosperity of the great west
than any other event of an early
period.

Literary Entertainment,

As per notice previously appearing in
the CHRONICLE, a literary entertainment,
in the interest of the Congregational
Sunday school transpired at the court
house in this city on Tuesday night.
Our recollections ofhaving been present
on that occasion are most vivid.
The circumstances and e%xtraneous in
1uences which shaped our ends, and
which must form the basis for an
apology for the absence of a detailed
report Of the interesting exercises, were
such as to effectually tbwart any desire,
however ardent, which we might have
had to extol its merits. Seated upon
the sharp and ragged edge Of a wood
box in rear of the stove, at a point most.
remote from the stage, where in conseI
quence Of the confusion which always
prevails on such occasions. no sound of
less volume than the band was audible;
with the stage and performers totally
eclipsed by the Intervention Of a solid
and Opaque phalanx of struggling
humanity, and where the light was of
such a sickly and uncertain character as
to exclude all possibility oftaking notes,
we were more than ever impressed with
the Importance and urgent necessity of
the early erection of u hall in Custer, of
sufficient magnitude to meet the de-
mands of this growing public. While
we can express no opinion touching
upon the merits Of the performance
from personal observation, for reasons
above set forth, it is but Just to state,
that infallible and irrefutable evidences
Of merit were rife and emphatic. The
only feature of the entertainment we
were permitted to see, was the five
virgins T'th lamps alight, when, upon
enterin, fron tie rear end of the hall,
they passed near the wood box, where
to the extnnS Of a shriveled inch ofsolid
surface, we were clinging with a painful
tenacity that pains us still. Ofthis pleas
ing feature, we speak advisedly when we
say it was simply angelic, and had they,
in passing, deigned to bestow upon
humble us, one plying glance, we feel
assured that we would have been deeply
smitten with repentance of having
brought upon ourself the sad sequence
which inevitably follows a long pro-
tracted effort to cling restfully to the
dilapidated edge of a we'll worn wood
box.

1t has at last been determined that
Patton is elected to the lower house by
a majority of l61 over Judge Dudley of
Hot Springs. The Judge will have the
satisfaction of knowing that he made a
good run, even if he did meet defeat,
and the large vote he received at home,
where he was best known, must be re-
garded as unmistakabls evidence Of his
popularity and peculiar fitness for the
discharge Of the duties involved in the
important position for which he was
nominated.

An Erroneous Report.

The Buffalo Gap News in reporting
the gain Of the vote of 1888 over that of
1886, in the precincts Of Custer and Four
Mile, enormously places it at "a. Such
a statement corld only have been made
with the wilful intention Of misleading
its readers, or through the grossest ig-
norance Of the subject treated. In or
der to correct any false impressions
which the News might possibly haye
made, with reference to the actual gain
in the great area" we submit the fol
lowing:
The total vote of the Custer precinct
in 1856 was l64, and Of Four Mile 80,
making a total of 203.
1t will be remembered that at that
time there were no election precincts
west of Custer other than Four Mile and
the Cheyenne River since which time
there has been established the precincts
Of Elk Mountain, Pleasant Valley and
Eldorado, whose aggregate vote at the
late election, as shown by the official
returns, was SO; this added to 266, the
vote of Custer, make 1856, which after
substracting 203, the vote Of 1886, leaves,
If We figure correctly, 1872, instead Of 81,
as represented by the News as the total
gain in the two precinct. 1t may also
be proper to state in this connection
that only a small fraction Of the original
Four Mile precinct Qess than one-ffth)
was annexed to Custer precincts. The
News would display a more commend
able taste by acquiring at least a super
fetal knowledge of a subject before
treating it.

Mrs. Will Williams, of Ironton, mar
rowly escaped being buried alive. She
had been very low with typhoid fever
and was attacked with sinking spell,
followed, as her friends thought, by death.
Through all this Mrs. Williams retained
consciousness, but was unable to give
any sign by which they might know she
was.alive. Finally some one noticed a
slight twitching in her fingers, which led
to the discovery of their almost fatal mis-
take. Mrs. Williams is now in fair way
to recovery.

The Ohio Penitentiary is now consid-
cred one of the most successfully man
aged prisons in the country. This is
largely due to the efforts of Deputy War
den Cherington, of this county. The U.
S. Government sends many prisoners to
the Ohio Penitentiary for safe keeping
On recent visit to Columbus we called
at the prison and were shown through by
the Deputy Warden. We noticed every
where evidences of the popularity of Mr..
Cherington. The faces of the unfortu-
nate men behind the bars would light up
with pleasure at sight of the gentlemanly
Deputy, as he passed from cell to cell.
The whole management of the prison
seems to be first-class-the food abund-
ant and wholesome, and the general regu-
lations good. To manage such an affair at
all is great work, but to bring it up to
the highest possible condition is a work
to be proud of. Amid all his multiplicity
of cares and duties, Deputy Warden Cher
ington is the same courteous gentleman
with whom Jackson parted with genuine
regret.
