THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. THURSDAY, TOBKR 11. im 3 WHOLE TOWN DOOMED; LIVES LOST IN BLAZE a &~SSKSVSSKUUSS Wi'S G. CLEVELAND STARTLED BY A CTION OF DEMOCRA TS IN NOMINA TING HEARS7 New York. Oct. ll.—The World thin ncrnlng saye: - 'The Democratic political situation In New York, In the opinion of Grover Cleveland, expressed to a representa tive of The World at his home In Princeton yesterday, puts a dilemma ■up' to the conscience of every voter. Hr. Cleveland would give no advice tc Democrats as to their duty, emphasiz ing that he did not wish to appear to meddle In New York politics. It was „nlv after he had expressed his opin ion so earnestly that there was no mis taking his attitude that he consented to write this expression of his views: •It Is difficult for me to overcome my reluctance to express my views of the present political situation In the „tate of New York, and yet I can never iose the Interest In her political wel fare which has grown out of my long .residence there, and my active partici pation In her political movements. “ 'I confess I was exceedingly sur prised by the outcome of the recent Democratic state convention. Though I was not near enough to be In touch with the Incidents leading up to the re sult, being absent on my vacation, and glvhig little attention to political oc currences, my estimate of the conser vative good judgment of the Dem ocracy of the state and my conception of Democratic principles and purposes were such that I was profoundly star tled by the selection made of a candi date to represent them In the pending canvass. “ ‘Of course every voter of the state must settle with his own conscience In determining his action In this emergen cy, but I can not but regard the Demo cratic situation presented to my old associates In New York as an afflictive one.’ ’’ . OWLS AND TOAD FROGS PREDICT^ HARD WINTER That the coming winter Is going to be the hardest one for the past twenty years there are an abundance of signs to show, and among them may be mentioned the fact that: The corn husks are a foot and a half thick, and all the stalks lean to the west The frogs have already begun searching the bottoms of millponds and mudholes to And out She deepest places. The geese, ducks and chickens are growing a coat of fur under their feathers and are rubbing, borax on their feet to harden them up. All the one-eyed owls are leaving the country a month earlier than usual, and the bob-tailed squirrels are laying In sweet potatoes as welt as nuts, for winter provision. The farmer who has taken the trouble to Investigate has found that all the toadstools oh the old logs have wrinkles In them. The last time that this happened we had winter weather that froze the handles off of pl’ws. Rabbits are sitting around, with a humped-up look to them, and Held mice have wrinkles In their tails. If this means anything, It means twenty degrees below zero from Novvember through to May. Cows are hunting around for pieces of flannel to wrap up their tails In, and hogs are rooting- their way to the middle of straw stacks. In In diana tills Is a sure sign that the highways will be blockaded with snow for weeks at a time. The watermelon had an unusually short season, carrots are so brittle that you can't pick your teeth with them, and tlw rail fences of the coun try show a disposition to lie down and rest. The fanner who makes the weather a study has found that the clouds are floating high, the geese squawking louder than usual and the pole cat showing a flnilffarIty that he has not betrayed for ten years past. There 1 Isn’t the least doubt that we are In for a regular old buster, and the man who pays his debts this fall may have reason to regret It be fore spr|ng. I .
