WHAT ONE VOTE DID.
A Remarkable Series of Maiorities
of One on Which the Admission
of Texas Rested.
Indianapolis Sentinel.


This is the strange vet true story
of how big events in the history of
this country hinged on one vote,
as told by Col. Dan Blocher, of
Scott county, Ind, and retold by
Hon. LATE Pence, humorist and
orator, and ex-member of congress
from Colorado, to a group of friends
at the Righ house, says the Wash
ington Post.
"The democratic national COM
mittee," said Mr.. Pence, ''in 1896,
wanted my services on the stump.
and I was given my choose of the
territory. OF course 1 choice to go
back to my old Hoosier home
among the friends of my boyhood,
and one of my first assignments was
at Lexington, in Scott county, a
part of the world still uncontamin-
ated by the refinements of effete
civilization.
"The instant Of my arrival at
Lexington l was seized upon by
Col. Dan Blocher, one of the finest
specimens of a Jeffersonian demo-
crat that ever drew breath, a life
long friend of Hon. w. H. English,
and though verging upon four
scour, active in body, alert mental
ly, and as enthusiastic Il partisan
as he was in the outset of his career.
Eve had much to talk over, and
finally the old man, pointing to
little clump of trees that stood near
by, said: Mr. Pence, in your speech
this afternoon, / want you to allude
to these trees and tell of a scene
that happened under them in which
| was an actor. All this country
was once we'll wooded, but that lit
tie clump is about all of the origin
al forest left. It happened this way:
Ny father was about the craziest
democrat that eVcr Ived in Indiana.
On a certain election he had done
his usual vigorous work, but after
going home was not satisfied. 1t
lacked only about an hour of the
closing of the polls, bat he had me
hitch up the wagon and we started
to town. Just as We got about where
these trees are we came across two
young fellows cutting TIMBER
whats the matter with you
boys? Amt you voters and amt
you democrats?' said my father.
They answered both questions in
the affirmative, but they had not
voted because one Of them, Billy,
was barefooted. He was too proud
to 90 to the polls without shoes.
Ny father asked him. his number
and was told that that Billy wore
los, and my parent instantly re-
marked: Daniel, shuck them boots;
climb in boys. and Billy and his
mate climbed in, and we drove to
the polls.
"Weli the result of that election
was that the democratic candidate
for the legislature in Scott county
vas elected by one vote. BY his
election the legislature was demo-
cratic by margin OF one vote, and
this occasioned the election OF Ned
Hannigan to the United States SEN
ate by majority of one vote.
'In the United States senate
Hannagan's vote was badly needed,
for only by the slender majority of
one was Texas admitted to the
union. Now, Mr.. Pence, l am not
proud and do not claim that my
old pair of boots caused the admis-
sion of Texas, but it certainly was
