they wanted trotting park, and today they have
a fine one on the "Pans,' sO-Callesl. between
Liberty and Montyille. 1t is II halt-mile track,
and nearly circular. Its soil is one Of the best
description for racing, and when fitted up it will
be very line track.

In MemOriam.

l wish for a short space in this weeks issue OF
the journal to pay the last respects to my aged
grandfather, William Clement of Mont>ille, who
O'Clock T. NJ, at the age of %. Mr.. Clement was
well known in Montyile AS an honorable and
upright man and in years gone by was very prom-
ncnt in town affairs, holding several Offices and
positions Of trust. In politics he was thoroughly
interested and quite prominent in the years that
are gone. He early identified himself with the
American party, then the Republican party, and
when the Greenback party was organized he all
hercd to those principles. In the last years of his
life he acted with the Prohbitionists lie was
firm believer in Christianity and very strict in re-
ligious affairs. His early opportunities for an
education We're very limited for schooling facilities
were not good in Montvile go years ago as at
the present time, but for all that he was well in
formed. He had remarkable selfreliance and
energy for business and throughout his long life
was quite successful in whatever he undertook
But he has gone and his spirit has taken its flight
to that unknown country the dwelling place of the
soul. Those places in his native town that knew
him so well, will know him no more. The cold
sod covers him to-day and his voice is silent in the
grave. Hail and farewell dear Grandfather, hail
and farewell. The kind words of a,lmonition YOU
spoke to me when was but boy will never lie
forgotten and | place this flower, dipped with
the morning dew over your grave, let me say with
Whittier:
ut was not mine among thy kindred
To join the silent funeral prayers,
But all that long sad day of summer
My tears Of mourning dropped with theirs
Freedom, June u, IS.

ALL ABOUT HARRISON.


A Career Not Discreditable TO His An
cestry.
Benjamin Harrison comes of presidential
stock. He is the grandson of President
William Henry Harrison, 'Old Tippe-
canoe" His public services have been
rendered both in the senate and in the
field. A young man when the war opened,
he volunteered, and rose rapidly from a
second lieutenancy to colonecy AS
colonel Of an Indiana regiment, he rendered
distinguished service in the Atlanta cam
paign. His services secured for him the
brevet rank of brigadier general. Senator
or Gen. Harrison-for he is called by either
title in Indiana-is not only the grandson
of President Harrison, but the great grand
son of Benjamin Harrison, one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence
and trainers of the constitution Mr.
Harrison can also point proudly to an En-
glish ancestor who was one of the generals
who served under Cromwell, and was one
of the board of commissioners who tried
and sentenced Charles !. The nominee is
not, however, dependent on his ancestors
for his fame, for his achievements have
been honorably accomplished by his own
services in the army, in the courtroom and

A Temperance Resolution.

Mr. Boutelle of Maine then rose and
said that in behalf of large number of
delegates he desired to move to suspend
the rules and adopt a resolution to be
added to the Republican platform.
The resolution was as follows:
1.-The first concern of all good govern
ments is the virtue and sobriety of the
people and the purity of their homes. The
Republican party cordially sympathizes
with all wise and well-directed efforts for
the promotion of temperance and moral
ity."
As soon as this was read there was a
rush from the various states to second the
motion, and after some time the question
was put and the resolution was adopted
by Il rising vote, only one delegate from

himself in the negative.
