Atlanta, October 18.—[Special.]—
Hon. T. M. Norwood arrived here today
from Baxley, Ga., where he spoke yester
day. 1 called on him, and in reply to the
question as to whether or not he had au
thorized the statement that he would be in
the race for the Senate, he said: “I have
decided to allow the use of my name for
the Senate, I have received hundreds of
letters from all parts of the State asking
me to do so, and after considering the mat
ter I have concluded to make the race.”
“I see that comment is made on the
fact that you do not appear at Forsyth to
debate with Gov. Gordon. How about it?”
asked the reporter.
“Yes, so I see. Nor did Gov. Gordon
appear at Baxley yesterday to meet with
me. The people of Appling county abont
two weeks ago met for the purpose of
taking action on the Senatorial question,
when it was suggested by, 1 understand,
some of the friends of Gov. Gordon that
the action be deferred until he could
speak to them. At any rate
Gov. Gordon was invited there
to speak on yesterday. When that infor
mation went out, the Alliance of that
county, through their Secretary, invited
me to meet Gov. Gordon, which I ac
cepted, and according to appointment I
spoke there yesterday. As Gov. Gordon
did not appear at Baxley, I took it for
granted that he would not appear at For
syth. As it turned out,. I am very sorry
that I was not present to discuss with him.
Besides this, there was a rumor afloftt,
whether true or not Ldo. not know, that
Gen. Gordon would refuse to debate with
me on the same platform. I dor not know
that this is true. If itlfl,-1 am very sorry
to hear it. As is wefiLknown, I bad in
vited Gov. Gordon to a-joint debate, which
he declined, unless Twaia candidate. I
was ready yesterday tcrremove the barrier,
if it were a necessity, hv-making a formal
declaration of my cam&dacy, and, if it is
necessary in the futura^LwUl do so.”
THE SUPREME COURT ATTACKED.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE MAYORALTY.
Atlanta, October 18. [Special.] —
Aldermen Hutchison withdrew today from
the race for Mayor. This leaves the race
in a very uncertain condition. Only one
announced candidate remains in the field,
Councilman Anton Kontz.
The scarcity of candidates is due to two
laws governing the eligibility of certain
offices. The first and most important is
that no Alderman or Councilman is eligi
ble for any city office daring the term for
which he was elected to the Council or
Board of Aldermen. Without knowledge
that any such law existed, several Council-
men and Aldermen went to work for the
Mayoralty. Alderman Albert Howell an
nounced. Alderman Hutchison followed
suit. Alderman J. G. Woodward was
about to announce. Councilman Koutz
announced his candidacy.
Then somebody unearthed this law, de
claring them all ineligible. There was
some talk at first about having the Legis
lature repeal this act, but one by one the
disappointed members of council have
drawn out—only Mr. Koutz remaining. It
is generally believed that he will make the
effort before the Legislature to have the
law repealed. Then Mayor Glenn wanted
to be Mayor again, but under the existing
law the Mayor can serve only one term,
and he too must have the Legislature
change the law in order to be eligible.
_ So, there are only possible candidates
"now in the field—an anoinolous sort of
situation. Of course several names are
mentioned; prominent among them Mr.
Walter Brown, who ran two years ago
and was defeated. Col. P. L. Mynatt is
another.
The election is certain to be a hotly con
tested one. It comes off on the first
Wednesday in December, and yet all is
confusion and uncertainty.
THE RECENT STATE ELECTION.
The returns from 120 counties, in the
office of the Secretary of State, show 139,-
058 votes cast for members of the General
Assembly; a majority of 55,599 for the
amendment for extending provisions of
the pension law, and 29,960 for the other
amendment.
The Governor today pardoned Ellen
Kiug, sent up from Glynn county for as
sault with intent to murder, and Joseph
E. Brown, sent from Elbert county for
running a blind tiger.
GORDON AT FORSYTH.
promised presence of Gov. Gordon and
ex-Senator Norwood lent interest to the
occasion. Norwood didn’t show up, bat
Gordon did.
Referring to the fact that the Alliance
had turned against him, the Governor said
of those who were in the lead, “They
have made more Atlanta speeches for me
than I ever made in my life” Some of
yon saw it in the newspapers. Saw what?
Saw everything. There is not a crime in
the decalogue that they have not charged
me with. In what paper? In the South
ern Alliance Farmer. [A voice, “Endorse
the Alliance Farmer.”] My friends,
wish it was the Southern Alliance Farm
er. It is not. It is anything else
but the Southern Alliance Farmers’ paper.
It aint Southern a bit, and it aint Alliance
to hart. Now yon wait, and you will find
out that. Who owns this little newspaper
here, this great newspaper? Whoever
owns it, contrails its policy, and so with
every newspaper on this continent. Well,
now, if you will just find out who owns
this Southern Alliance Farmer, you will
know something abont its policy. Why,
my countrymen, it had thirty-nine
attacks on me in one issue,
and every one of them a
falsehood. It has abandoned talking
abont the Alliance and devotes itself to
attacks on me. Find who owns it and
you will understand. Who? It is owned
by a very different set of fellows from you.
Y ou wait till you find who are the promi
nent candidates. Yon will see where the
money comes from. Now, I’m telling you
a thing out of school, but I am giving you
information so you can go and find out.
The paper says I have changed. Yon
have taken the newspaper reports, and
purchased newspaper reports at that,
by the enemg ot the Alliance against the
man who has been battling for j oa for
twenty-one years. You are honestly mis
taken, but yon will get all right when the
truth comes.” The Governor stated that
he had said the same thing in his letter
replying to Harry Brown last April, in his
LaGrange speech, and in hi3 Atlanta
speech.
“In the first letter” said he, “I said, I
can not advise any specific meas
ure. I saw that if we attempted to
carry any specific measure we would
wreck the brotherhood. What did I say
in LaGrange? The same thing, in other
words. . Agitate, agitate on all lines, on
your sub-treasury bill, and every other
bill, but don’t drive from yon any friend
anywhere, in any section, in any party,
but still stand for yonr great principles.
I said the same thing in my speech in
Atlanta. In other words, I can’t endorse
any specific measure. If you had the
best bdl that ever came from
the brain of man, I should give
you the same advice. That is what I said
in my Atlanta speech. It is just a differ-'
ence in words, none whatever in the idea.
I argued against committing the Alliance
to details. How much wiser it is to
spread on your banners your unconquerable
principles and bring them to victory. To
carry the Congress, that’s what you want.
You win never can y the Congress or any
thing else if you split on details. Do not
introduce details on which jour friends
cannot agree. Put before the mark of
your high calling those principles and you
will prevail. [Applause.] They say
I can’t make much money. Well
I make a good deal, but ]
can’t keep much. There are 1
great many great men who have been all
along there. Daniel Webster, I am told,
had to have a pension from ' his friends.
Alexander Hamilton Stephens and Jeffer
son Davis were not rich. If you want
rich man let’s Jay Gould.' [Laughter.]
He makes money, and he keeps it too. I
thought we were on the other line, fight
ing monopoly and the concentrated money
power. I can find five men who can buy
all the property of this State.
My countrymen, there is some
thing radically wrong in this,
would put a tax on such great incomes,
which would make such a thing as this
impossible. It does them no good, and it
makes a great corruption fund.
Col Crowder and Mr. Berner, the Rep-
resentatives-elect, will vote for Gordon.
“I was elected as a Gordon man; I said
on the stump that I would vote for him,
and I don’t see how 1 can do otherwise,”
said Mr. Berner in reply to a question
today.
ANOTHER REPORT.
Forsyth. Ga., October 18.—[Special.]
Gov. Gordon addressed a large and enthu
siastic mass meeting here today and
aroused considerable enthusiasm. Norwood
was expected but failed to come. Gor
don’s speech literally set his friends
wild with enthusiasm. Many men who
have opposed Gordon before are strong for
him today. Our two Representatives and
the Senator for this district are for Gor
don, but will abide by the action of a pri
mary to be held next Saturday, and will
support the man then endorsed.
Judge Smith is expected here on the
24th to address our people.

THE NEXT VICTIM.
New Orleans, October 18.—Joseph
Macheea and other leading Italians,
against whom affidavits were made yester
day after the shooting and partial confes
sion of Seaffidi, were arrested this morn
ing, charged with being accessaries to the
murder of Chief Henriessy. At a special
meeting of Council at noon, Mayor
Shakespeare’s message was read denounc
ing the murder of Hennessy by Sicilians
through hired assassins, declaring that ter
rible secret orders exist in New Orleans,
and that in this instance the
Chief of Police was assassinated
for doing his dnty in enforcing
American law; that any citizen
performing his duty, or under any circum
stances creating the enmity of these men,
is liable to the dread sentence of death be
ing passed upon him and carried out by
assassins whojdivulge nothing, say noth
ing, know nothing; that some leading
Italians are at the head of these orders,
while others more peacefully inclined, not
belonging thereto, are blackmailed and
then threatened with death and obliged to
leave the city if they do not comply. This
state of affairs has gone on long enough
and must be stopped. The council is
called on to take the initiative step to
drive, if necessary, these people from the
United States.
THE MAYOR THREATENED.
At 1 o’clock today, the Mayor received
communication notifying him that he
will be the next victim. Mayor Shakes
peare says that this will not deter him
from doing bis duty. He appointed a
committee of fifty to hunt out the ven

-REVIEW OF SPECULATION IN THE GRAIN
AND PROVISION MARKETS.
Chicago, October 18.—Wheat—Only a
fair business was transacted and operators
generally were disappointed in the mar
ket. The feeling was decidedly weaker.
Outside business was moderate. The
opening was about the same as the closing
yesterday, then a decline set in and with
slight re-actions, continued, closing |c
lower than yesterday.
Corn was fairly active and a little un
settled, the market fluctuating frequently
within | to lc range, but the close showed
no gain, the market being about the same
as yesterday.
Oats were entirely controlled by local
influences. The close was a fraction
lower.
Mess pork.—A fair trade was reported.
Lard was in comparatively light demand.
Changes were slight.
Short rib sides.—There was only a mod
erate trade.
THE SOCIALIST IN POLITICS. *
Halle, October 18.—At to-day's ses
sion of the Socialist Congress it was de
cided to nominate candidates to contest all
elections held in the city of Berlin. It
was also decided to hold a Socialist labor
demonstration ou the first of May next,
and thereafter on the Sunday following
the first of May in each year. A resolu
tion was adopted declaring that Hefr
Werner, whose loyalty to the Socialists
has been questioned, was incapable of rep-
THE CAUSE OF AN EXCITED
AT LYONS.
Park, October 19.—There has been
great excitement during the week at Lyons
over the new United States tariff law, and
Burdeau, the Lyons Deputy, has given
notice that he will, in the Chamber, de
mand retaliation for the increased duties
on French goods. He will, especially,
propose that a retaliatory duty be placed
on petrolium, and will also suggest that
boards of inspection be established for the
examination of all imports from the
United States. On the other hand, the
committee for the defense of the silk
market, held a great meeting at Lyons, at
which speakers, who were representative
men of all classes, took the ' ground
that the policy of retaliation
was likely to do more harm
than good. The meeting was attended by
silk merchants, spinners and silk workers
generally. Most of the Senators and Dep
uties from the district, as well as the'
Mayor of the city and a majority of the
members of the Chamber of Commerce,
were present. The president of the Cham
ber of Commerce called attention to the
fact that the adoption of a retaliatory
policy against Italy has already
cost the Lyons market 7.500,000 francs
worth of business, and has given German
industry the supremacy in Italy. The
Americans, he said, wish to export withou:
importing. They would'see that this was
impossible, but he would leave them to
reap the inevitable fruits of their own bad
policy. It would be much better not to
interfere with those results by any augry
steps on the part of France The
Petite Journal thinks that the . bill
affects England and Germany more
than it does France, which ought not to
be drawn into making common reprisals
against the Unite 1 States.
The Temps holds that if the new Amer
ican fariff is injurious to the French inter
ests, France cannot complain, as it has for
over nine years persisted in enforcing the
unwise act of prohibiting the importation
of pork that has been injurious to America.
The moment has come, it says, to
repair this mistake and the circumstances
are favorable.
A number af other journals also favor
this course.
IMPROVEMENTS IN GRIFFIN.

SPALDING COUNTY STOCK COMING TO THE
EXPOSITION.
Griffin, October 18.—[Special.]—Sev
eral lots on Eighth street changed hands

WITH BULLETS.
Macon, Ga., October 18.—Willie Sin
gleton, colored, about twenty years
of age, was lynched in the outskirts of the
city at a late hour last night, for attempted
assault on a young lady, the daughter of a
prominent citizen of Macon. Several
weeks ago, a young lady who had been
away from home was expected to arrive by
the 11 o’clock train that night at the city
Central depot, where members of the fam
ily went te meet her. Instead of that,
she came in by the East Tennessee road,
whose depot is on the opposite side of
town. She was placed by a policeman, to
whom she applied for directions, in a cab
driven by Willie Singleton. Tlie negro
did not drive directly to the young lady's
home, but took her by a round about road,
and in a loneiy spot made a violent assault
upon her. He then left her at her own
house in an exhausted condition
and disappeared. A few days ago
Singleton was arrested at Eufau la,
Ala., and an officer started with him for
Macon, but when a few miles from tlie
city an armed party stopped the train and
took the prisoner. Last night the negto
was taken before liis victim and fully
