Rebukes Him For Having Voted For
Stanley.

Among Mrs. Nations many callers
was an old soldier, who was a staunch
Republican. In the course of the con-
versation her brother mentioned the fact
that he was a lifelong Democrat, and
had never voted for a single Repub-
ncan until the last election. He had
broken his custom because in Missouri
he had been shown that Democrats
never did anything for the temperance
cause, while all that had ever been done
at all was at the hands Of Republicans.
The old soldier was about departing,
and as he shook hands with Mrs. Ma
ton he took occasion to say he was in
accord with her brothers view, and the
only hope for the temperance cause was
through the Republican party.
Are you a Republican," asked Mrs.
Nation
Yes
And did you vote for stanley?" she
almost shrieked.
Yes he answered.
COR exclaimed the crusader with
long drawn emphasis. Don't you do
it again OH this rotten, rum-soaked,
riotous Republican rule! The admins
tration of Kansas is an exhibition of it.
Look at Stanley. He is the devil in the
garb of an angel. By their fruits We
shall know them. The city Of Wichita
is Stanley's orchard, and what are its
fruits? Look at its dives and dens OF
fniquity. There is SANKEY'S home, and
the Wickedness that is there is the fruit
by which he is known. Don't you ever
vote again for any man but one that is
fearless for. the right, "a good Christian
and a sure temperance man.

WHY HE DECLINED THE JOB.
II VIII he Seen That He Really
Couldn't Afford to Accept
Government Position.

The officers of the treasury depart
ment lately had strange experience.
A few months ago, in making selec-
ton from one of the eligible registers
of bookkeepers at the civil service
commission, their attention was at
tracted by the most excellent papers
of a young man from Atlanta, Ga,
and, a. they were so businessllke and
presented such neat clerical appear
ance, he was selected and rendered a
position at 5000 a year. In due course
of time the department received
communication stating that at that
time he was so busily engaged that
he very reluctantly declined the po-
sition. A few months afterward his
name was again certified, and he was
again selected and rendered position
a the same salary. He again, in very
courteous and businesslike letter, de-
clined the position for business fea-
sons, says a Washington correspond
emit of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
He appeared at the department one
day and called on the proper officers,
and, after paying respects and thank
ing them for their selection, he stated
that the reason he did not take the po-
sition at the times rendered was that
he had a business position that was
paying him 5000 year.
The veterans in the secretary's Of
fee speak of this case as the most
unique that ever came under their OBJ
servation.
