Mr.. Cleveland, the farmer told how the
old house and land, his home for many
years, had gone at sherif's sale and
been bought by Capt. Samuel Van
Kirk, well-to-do neighbor
Mr.. Cleveland said a few words OF
sympathy TO the farmer. but nothing

Capt. Van Kinks house. He was soon
back and greeted the old farmer with:
L guess you won't have TO move. I've
bought the farm. and you are my
tenant now, and you'll remain here at
my pleasure"
1t was this purchase which gave
rise TO the recent report that Mr.. Cleya-

the St Peter Herald OF q recent date re-
ferring TO certain antiquities related by
Alexander Harkin and James Robinson in
which they seriously or facetiously accuse
me of voting not less than twelve times at
as many places at an election held IN the
old territory Of Minnesota some forty-two
or four years ago. 1t is a long time 10

these gentlemen have undertaken to state

was informed afterwards that by the time he
arrived twenty-seven soldiers had voted the
Democratic ticket at this precinct. I took
particular pains, Of course, to determine
whether they were all eligible voters and
Minnesotars. but 1t has been so long ago
that 1t really escapes my mind as TO
whether their titles were absolutely clear.
