Clay was making speeches in the interest

was opposed by Robert wickliff.. later
American minister to italy. wickliife

the legislature two years before. Their
canvass had resulted in a duel. Shuts

Clay was considerably piqued at this,
for their distance was snort thirty feet

another shot. Wckliffe interposed no
objection to the proposition, but further
hostilities were prevented by Albert Sid

the centennial of Washington's birth ia7,
in 1882, he was student at Yale, and
was selected to make the principal ad :.

himself an owner Of negroes, he startled
his hearers by declaring for universal
freedom. His views were deemed radi-

ago when he first began to preach the
universal brotherhood of men and the
emancipation OF the slaves.
Seated beneath the leahess branches OF
q water maple on his vast lawn at White
Hall one day this week, General Clay
discussed, with unimpaired memory,
the historical events of seventy years ago.
"My father was born in 1861 he said.
His life and mine cover a period of over
100 years. In our two lives together, all

America who can say the same. Green

in the closing years of the revolution.
He was but boy. but the thoroug h bred

continental army as an orderly, or aid,
to his father.

study and travel, with mind and manners

lecturer; it dazes me to count up the |
number of his avocations. With all his |
lsbors in private life, or employing mt in |
public cause, General Clay has found
time to hasten many of his fellow men
on the path to the tomb, and personally
conducted almost to the finish the nego-
tiations that terminated in the purchase
of Alaska.
Two weeks ago at Berea College, where

General Clay il profound philosopher

he answered in reply to q question relat-
ing TO the campaign now closing. ~
take absolutely no interest in politics.
The country is corporation ridden. The
greater part OF the money in the United
States is owned east of the Hudson river,
and the men who own the money dicta to
the laws in their own interest.
