Answered !?

GUTHRIE, o. T., Nov. IS.-All Of the m n
isters in the territory are laughing at Rev.
Webster Full, of Saltwater, pastor Of the
Methodist Episcopal church south. On
the Sunday preceding the election he
prayed publicly for the Lord to direct h m
how to cast his ballot Early on election
day he went to the polls and voted as he
thought, the straight Democratic tick st.
After leaving the booth he stopped to hear
some man explain the method of voting the
ticket under the Australian system.
Had Voted the Republican Ticket!
He was Mortified to find he had used the
stamp wrong and had really voted the Re-
publican ticket. He rushed back into the
booth and wanted TO take his ticket out of
the box and change it, but was denied the
privilege. For the first time in his life he
had voted the Republican ticket, and his
friends all tell him that in answer to MS
prayer the Lord had directed his vote even
against his own wishes.

1t will not be much Of a surprise to
the readers of The Statesman to learn
that Mr. Clagett has publicly turned
his back on the party. His attitude
was very clearly given in this papers
Washington dispatches during the
progress of the senatorial contest. He
then sought to curry favor with both
parties; and now, having found that
he "a neither bulldoze nor csiole the
Republicans, he takes the fence and
pronounces judgment upon the party
as a representative of which he
sought election 70 the senate. Mr..
Clagett has frequently shown that he
thought himself better and wiser than
the Republican party Of Idaho: and
now, after his crushing defeat, he his
discovered that he is better and wis +
than the entire party of the nation.
1t comes with very bad grace for a
man TO desert his party and resort to
transparent bids for the support OF
Others because his personal ambition
has not been gratified; but tue Rep.
nblicans are very glad to see Mr.. Clag.
