AT the lirst presidential election the
electors, in accordance with law
which had been passed by the CONT.
mental congress, were chosen on the
first Wednesday in January, 1888; the
electors cast their votes on the first
Wednesday in February, and the gov
eminent under the constitution went
INTO operation ON the llrst Wednesday
in March. The first Wednesday in
March in that year WAS March 4, and
thai explains the fact that a presi=
dental term and the terms IF mem-
bers of congress begin OH March 4.

Compllmented His Wife.

Some automobilists along a lonely
country road stopped at a wayside
cabin to get drink. The man of the
house answered their knock. When
he withdrew for pitcher and glass
there came q voice from within as of
someone ohjecting-a high feminine
voice not likely to langnish for want
of practice. Through the open door
the automobillsts could see that an ex-
quisite cleanliness prevailed. The or
derliness without had already struck
them. AS they ,quaffed the water

Governor Plngree, of Michigan, has
been celebrating. Just what lie cele-
brated seems q matter of conjecture.
To assist the great commoner in his
celebration he provided 48 cases of
wine, 2 barrels of crackers, demVohs
of whisky, case of brandy, 3,00l cl-
CARS, 40 CAGES of cigaretts, 2 bartenders
and some 30 camp followers ana root
ers." At the close of the banquet Pin
gree announced "from this time on
shall spend my time and money in be-
half of the democratic party" The
question arises whether banquet of
that kind was IN celebration of the
governors abandoning the republican
party or his joining the democratic
party. Twenty years ago the spread
would have been decidedly democratic
but with other spoils the republicans
in late years have snatched from the
democratic party they have relieved
democracy of its exclusive right to be
called the whisky party.-Clinton Age.
