To enable persons OF Irish birth or ex-

before their names. The bill Is directed
against the statutes OF remote days,
passed with the object Of removing

CHLNDLER'S MISTAKE.
CHANDLER DISPLAYED A CORK
SCREW AMONG GARFIELD's
CONSTITUENTS.

CHANDLER DISPLAYED A CORK
SCREW AMONG GARFIELD's G
CONSTITUENTS.
Senator Zach Chandler, OF Michigan,
was found dead in his room at the
Grand Pacific Hotel, in Chicago, on No
vember 2, 1879. That year was the first
time that Charles Foster ran for COVER
nor in Ohio, and Chandler made a SER
les of speeches throughout the state
during the campaign.
Just month prior to the day he died
he spoke I'm the little town of Chardon,
In the northeastern part of the state.
Judge Edmunds, of Vermont, then q
United States senator, was announced to
speak with Chandler, but he did not
put in an appearance, so Chandler and
General Garfield--it was in Garheld's
district-addressed the meeting, which
was big one.
There was no building In the town
large enough to hold the crowd that
gathered, so a rough platform was built
on the east side OF the Court House in
the public square. In the course Of his
speaking Chandler brought out his
jack-knife, opened it and placed IL
across his notes on the table to prevent
a brisk October wind from blowing
them away.
He was followed by Garfield, and at
the close Of the meeting a crowd OF the
country folk called at the hotel 10 meet
the distinguished guests. Garfield knew
them all, and introduced them one by
one to Chandler. The Michigan sem
atOr asked numerous questions about
the farmers, their social conditions, etc.
He learned, among other things, that
the people OF the county prided them
selves on their unrelenting antipathy
to intemperance. One man regretted
that the Michigan senator could not be
present some time at one OF their Sun
day evening temperance meetings.
After the crowd had dispersed Chand-
Ter turned TO Garfield and said:
Say, Garfield, why didn't you tell me
something about your constituents"
| Didn't ! tell you that they were tbs
best people you would find in the coun-
try?" Garfield retorted.
| Yes, but you didn't say anything

Yes, and your fOrgetfulness has
