NOTES.


The twenty-third president of th'
United States will go out OF Office on the
4th If neyt March. having earned the re
spect and sincere esteem of his fellow
| countrymen, democrats as well as re
pubhcans.
While the political Fates have decreed
that Benjamin Harrison shall Inquire IN
history as one-term president, that one
term will stand without the dishgure'
ment of any serious scandal, and marked
with many credita5le deeds and import
anu public services.
1t is a pleasant thing tc remember
that in the canvass just ended few words
have been said or written concerning
Gen. Harrison which represent him as
anything but what he is, man OF SUI
perior intellect and elevated character,
and chief magistrate whom the country
can always regard with admiration

Capt. Thorpe, British, in charge OF the
English ships at Baltimore. ordered all
ships dressed in bunting IN celebration OF
Cleveland's election. The display at
tracted the attention of the residents on
shore, who asked the cause of the DEM
onstration. 81 am celebrating the cleo
ton of Cleveland" replied Thorpe. "But
what have you to do with ClevelandF
queried a customs inspector. "You are
British subject" II suppose I am"
answered the captain. "Are we not
benefited by this election as well as the
Americans?" The answer went among
the people and with many aroused an
Indignant feeling. When the British
consul heard OF it he ordered the bunt-
ing removed. Capt. Thorpe's rejoicing
was natural, but Baltimore democrats
recognized it's lack of considerate judg-
ment.-[Utica Herald.
The party 10 pledged to repeal the Nc
Kinley tariff law. There Is no installing
the language of the platform; there was
no clouding of the issue during the CAM
paign; there will be no faltering with the
question when the Fiity-third congress
assemblies. The people have decided In
favor of the democratic national plat
form which calls for repeal of the ten
per cent protective tax on state banks.
The repeal will take place as sure as
Cleveland is inaugurated and demo
cratic congress meets in December, 1898,
1t cannot be said that the people did
not understand the issue. The
states are able to attend to the banking
business.-[Mobile (Ala.) Register.
Sam. Phillips of Duluth, is wanting to
be chief clerk of the house, and he ought
to want it long time before the repub,
Leans give it % him. He is the pot
Quilted individual who visited these parts
as "Zeke's" manager.-[ Buffalo Journal.
Ole Nygaard tells rather amusing in
cident in regard to the new system OF
voting. A voter had been in the booth
for about fifteen minutes when one OF
the judges stepped out and told him to
hurry up. The voter paid no attention
to the judge, but kept turning the ticket
around and looking at it. The judge
when he again approached the booth
and asked: what is the matter7" The
voter looked at him in a rather puzzled
L. I he sol, r
around, and answered: 81 can't find
Knute!"-[ Ada Index.
One voter in this city took no chances
on not finding "Knute." He went
through his ticket and voted only for the
name Nelson" which occurred four
times OH the state ticket. He voted for
Knute.
