These professions embody the purest patriotism and loftiest aspirations of American citizenship. Though at all times they shook! sug gest to ns tbe strongest obligation to po litical effort, their motive force as in centives to political activity and watch fulness should be irresistible at a time when the constitution is held in light esteem as against the accomplishment of selfish purposes, when state boundaries are hardly a barrier to centralized power, and wbeo.local self siovemmeut and free dom of elections are the scoff of partisan ship. , Those who subscribs to the creed of this association and make any claim to sin cerity can hardly excuse themselves for a lack of effort at a time when the necessi ties of tbe government economically ad ministered have bat little relation to the taxation of the people, and when the ex travagance in public service has become a contagious plague to those who hope for better things, this convention of Demo cratic clubs is a bright promise of reform.

On Monday, October S, 1891, at S o'clock, p. an, after a long and painful illne*, Mr. Peter Culp, one of our oldest and most 1 highly esteemed tit mas paaaed away- He was born Oct. 25th, 1813,and consequently had nearly finished his 79th year, fifty- . seven years ago be was married, and bad lived happQy all these years. Several chi dreo were bora to him, two or three of whom had preceded him to tbe spirit land. ' He leaves his aged companion and two sons and three daughters and many grand children and friends to mount his death. He was a true man in every sense of the word. Truthful, honest, brave, courteous, i he won friends among all dawmi He was generous to the unfortunate, bestowing benefactions as hia meana permitted—kind- hearted, sympathetic and genial, be was a moat agreeable companion—warm in his friendships, he waa outspoken and fearless in his opposition to what he believed to b«. wrong. Possessing ail these traits be was almost perfectly transparent in his char- I acter—leaving no one in doubt as to bis friendships or bis position on any subject I of any im portance. I In early life his advantages were limited, I but hir fine natural abilities and hard study I enabled him to take position ass good bu- I si ness man. He spoke and wrote clearly I and intelligently on all subjects engaging I bis attention, and though hia views were I sometime.] regarded as erratic, no one I doubted his honesty »r sincerity. I He was honest and industrious. By dil- I igent attention to business and persistent I bard work, he not only lived comfortably I but accumulated a competency for dt- I dining years. He alluded to the fact ma- I ny times when with intimate friends that I he never received more than 50 cents a I day for hia services up till 1840, when be I came to Clsrke county, from which time I bis business became prosperous and stea- I dily remained so until his last illness. He I was scrupulously honest, and despised I on am; and deceits of every description. I He was a man of fiery temper, but witbai I so generous and forgiving, that if an im- I petuuua temper sometimes .betrayed him I into saying or doing rash things, almost in I s.twinkling it was over, and even where I ne believed he had been wronged,waa wili- I iDgJto forgive and forget. His nature waa intensely emotional, and I I be was ever ready to weep with those that I weep. He could not hcur.the recital of the I stoty of suffering without his sympathetic I I heart taking part in the sorrows of the I distressed ones. ' I He was peculiarly fond of young peo- I I pie, and waa ever ready to talk with boys 1 1 and young men—especially on the subject I of religion, and doubtless many were ben- ' I eflted by this loving care. ’ I He was a public spirited man. On all ' I questions, moral or political,aflecling either ► I the welfare of the state or the nation, he > I took great interest and with voice and pen I del ended that which he believed to be for ' c I the right. -I Of the sacred ties in the home-life, tb e r I picture is tender and beautiful.
