CHICAGO'S OLDEST VOTER.

Charles E. Peek of this city is the oldest consecutive voter in Chicago. He has taken part in elections for six ty-two years, having gene to the polls a. least cnce ii each twelV9 months since ths town was small enough to have but two precincts, and the men were so honest there was no necessity fer any previous registration. He re- m2mbered when the boxes were held open as long as thare was aaypcssib l. ity Of a balated citizen demanding his right to have a hand in the bll!oting He saw the books cpsned after the to- tals had ben made because 9 nm had bsen delayed in ths country by the mud and did not arrive at the booth until almost midnight.
 There were nc printed hallcts in those days he said Monday we asked each mln who appeared at the window fer his choice. His answ 3r was written in a book. There was TO secrecy about the p9ccc dings. The mans rane went down opposite tat of his candidate. and then the man would ccme into the judges room to talk it over with the ether citiz ns There was no Tagis,rat:on. The cnly spCnser was well known man, who stood outside and saw to 1t that none applied bu. those who were fairly en- titlc1 to the ballet.

TURFIE TO GO.

Senator Turpie Of Indiana is one Of
 the democratic senators who must give place to a republican successor as a result of the election. Senator Fur
 pie is one of the old-time1s. He has made a reputation as a man of large and scholarly attainmeEts, and he gen, elally adduces new facts and reason ing in the discussion Of any subject he undertakes in the senate. He is such a man as might have been expected to follow Cleveland and Wilson rather than the mixed characters that are now in control of the democratic party, but the glitter of free silver was entic- ing to him and he followed 'Jhe banner of his party. He is one of the group O. picturesque old gentlemen who have held the senate in line fer free silver and omitted nc opportunity to push the cause to the front. l. is rather curious circumstance that the cause Of free silver, which, according to it's ad- herents, is the cause Of the growing west and of the aspiring young man, should have as its chief advocates ill the United States senate venerable gray-haired men who have been in pub lie life a generation or two.-Kansas City Star.
