Don’t von know Geo,, that he would pay the rebel debt if he could and pension all their soldiers with our money? That is what he will do, George, if he is elected again, yon.won't vote for such a man, will you?” George was dumbfounded for a moment, upon this wonderful revela- tion from his friend Henry. Geo, studied some time and then re- plied, “Now Henry, are you telling the truth? Do you know that is true about Cleveland? 1 never heard of it before.” “Yes, George, Cleveland hates old soldiers and I can bring you the proofs you won't vote for such a man? Will you?" “No sir; if that is true, I will Harrison.

A new plan struck him, He took his horse down the road apiece and waited No George appeared. Then the house and called for George to come, At this point of the proceedings Mrs. Walker appeared at the front door with a tin in her hand. Musser grasped the situation ; his long legs took him a fly. ing over the fence with coattails sailing in the air. That is how Hen. voted his man. In justice to Mr. Walker we would say that he appeared at the polls later in the day and voted a genuine, Democratic ticket. Poor Hen. Musser, DEPARTMENT OFFICERS A.
