Col. Breckinridge : “She is a pretty

Folk Laffoon: “She is beautiful and I
was greatly pleased with hor very grace

her, and told her that I congratulated her
all the more heartily since I heard that she
was a democrat. She smiled and said :
‘Yes; I am a good democrat.’ ”
Mr. Willis: “She captured me complete

an ornament to the white house.”

Gen. Wolford--“She is a lirst-rate look

to congress, and I would not have gone

Iti addition to this, further information

the contract to extend the Northeastern

By tiiis trade Athens gets the Georgia
Midland and the Covington and Macon.
The latter road will not touch Covington,
and its route will be from Macon
to .Monticello, Madison and Athens.
It then takes up the Northeast

Danville at Lula. By this trade also Athens
gets the shops of both roads.

! The Scotman puts the question fairly and
' closely. It says any general professions

One question will test the value or mean
ing or those professions. Let the candidate
I be asked if he would, in the new parlia
ment, support Gladstone’s bill if reintro
duced with alterations explained
at the foreign office meeting.
If he will, he is for disunion
and ought to lie rejected. No play upon
words will help him out of this position.
Now, mark the coining words. Safe self-
government for Ireland is the one thing
, most desirable in Gladstone’s bill. But
I there is another most undesirable feature,
i I now make the Scotsman and all agreeing
with it a very handsome offer. I am sure
when they mention safe self-government
j they don’t mean by “safe’’to emasculate
the substantiation. They mean that with

EDMUNDS WINS IN VERMONT.
ftluiiir Kcstrniiw tl tin* Opposition and Got Lilicntl
Proiuisus of Support.
Montpelier, Vt., June 10.—The hand
of Mr. Blaine was felt here to-day. It
bottled up the passions of Vermont repub
licans and made their state convention a
t une and spiritless affair, instead of a red-
hot bear garden, which it would
have been if no restraint had
been imposed. Bitter as Mr Blaine’s
feelings doubtless are toward the Vermont
senator, there is no doubt that he strongly
urged abandonment of opposition to him,
at least for the prom!. There is a strong
impression that the F.d’utinds ntofl, per
haps with full a lit ivrity, madf Some liber
al promises to the friends of the plumed
knight in recognition of his pacific influ
ence used so potently in the present crisis.
At all events, the Edmunds leaders are
quite jubilant to-night, and thej confident
ly assert that all threatening opposition to
the senator has been overcome.
Their confidence is rather overwhelming,
however. Mr. Blaine’s friends have been
fully convinced that open opposition to
*li«’ senator at this time is unwise—that is
ail. The antagonism will probably eon-
onvention will be held in Cin- j tinue buried until after the- election of the
•inimti in 1KK9.

Washington special says : Senator Logan. J
seated in a richly upholstered chair in his i
committee room military affairs pulling j
away at a brier-wood pipe, was the target j
of divers complimentary remarks from a
party of friends and admirers who had
dropped in he fore the assembling of the
senate to pay their respects, 'fhe general !
took it all in, with frequent puffs <>f ap- I
prnvaL and finally,removing f he brier*root, )
observed with much emphasis :
“Well, gentlemen, you may talk as you '
please about politics, and say all the fine |
things about me that you can, but it seems
that I no longer count as a figure in poli
ties. 'fhere is only one politician in the I
country. lie seems to know all about it,
and is running things to suit himself.”
With this peroration, the general re- i
sumed puffing at his pine. There was a I
sensation and a calm. Each one looked at j
the other with an expression suggestive of j
interrogation. At last one of the party
legislature that chooses Mr. Edmunds’ suc
cessor. so that the re-election of Mr. Ed
munds can now hardly be considered as
imperilled. The Edmunds men, there
fore, fail to see how a blow can now be
successfully aimed at their leader
from any quarter. Furthermore, they
feel quilt* safe in making liberal promises
of support of Mr. Blaine in 1888, because
not one of them believes that the Maine
statesman's chances of renomination are
worth a picayune. So everybody is happy
to-night, and republican politics in Ver
mont are apparently as placid as a summ r
evening millpond. The Blaine men have
done a great deal of missionary work
among the delegates to-day, and some even
talked as if they expected to secure a
Blaine delegation to th** national conven
tion in 1SH8 as the result of to-day’s com
promise.
The convention nominated tlie Hon. J.
E. < Minbec for governor without much op-
p >sition. Ih r< reived 340 votes on the first
ballot to 195 for J. K. Hatchelder, and
about 70 scattering. The nomination of
Mr. Ormbee is without general satisfaction,
in view of tfie understanding arrived at
among the delegates before the conven
tion met. He will receive the support of
his party, hut his candidacy will awake no
enthusiasm. Gov. Smith’s carefully plan
ned still hunt against Edmunds has
of the question.
Nobody questions these conditions. They
are admitted to be just and rational. The
principle has been reiterated over and
again. It is now idle to say that the coun
try will be asked to vote on the details of
the bill. The bill is dead with parliament.
