KEEPING IN THE SHADE.
SCHEMES OF THE OPPONENTS OF
GOV. GORDON.
Macune Will Remain in Atlanta a
Week—Dr. Felton Makes Some Vlg
orous Remarks on Alliance Methods
Some of the Dark Horses From
■Whom a Selection May be Made.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept 25.—Dr. Macune
has decided to spend a week or more in At
lanta. He is here for the purpose of assist
ing his alliance subalterns iu working up
opposition to Gov. Gordon. CoL Living
ston said to-night that only one thing was
settled upon, and that was that Gordon will
be defeated. The friends of the
governor are to-night denouncing the alli
ance leaders for bringing such a man as
Macune, whose public record is so unsavory
to villify a man like Gov. Gordon, whose
public servioes have been so well performed
and on whose public character there is not
a stain.
Dr. Felton, in an interview to day with a
gentleman from Atlanta, declared that the
fight beiDg made on Gordon by the alliance
leaders was In keeping with the rest of
their secret doings. They were oomiog at
him in an underhand manner, be said,
attacking his private business affairs and
saying nothig about the grand services he
bos always rendered as a public servant.
The and ictor declared that Gordon should be
judged by the votes he had cast in public
position, and not by any outside issues.
MOVING CUNNINGLY.
Col. Livington and Macune are conduct
ing the fight against Gov. Gordon with
consummate cunning. They have put him
at the disadvantage of knowing that he has
opposition, but of being igDOiaut of his op
ponents.
Rumor has it to-night that Col.
W. J. Northerns friends have been
approached as to whether he would
consent to make the race against Gen. Gor
don. The plan is, it seems, to hold Pat
Calhoun, CoL Nonhen, Judge Hines, ex-
Gov. James M. Smith and C L Norwood in
readiness to run, and after the legislature
meets Livingston and the other leaders will
find out which one among the number is
the strongest, and he will be nominated
against Gov. Gordon.
The greatest stress is being laid
by the al iancemen fighting Gordon
on the fact that this is a business
enterprise, and that Gov. Gordon has
proved himself very unfortunate in busi
ness enterprises. The alliancemen will not
deny that Pat Calhoun is being groomed
for the race.
A great deal of talk is being indulged in,
but Livingston is smiling and Macune
seems happy.
FLOYD’3 HEATED POLITICS.
Capt. Corput Charges an Opponent
with Plandering Him.
Rome, Ga., Sept. 25.—The political fight

East Florida Seminary Opened.

Florida Seminary opened to-day with the

ALLIANCE WAREHOUSE OPENED.
Gov. Gordon Addressee an Enthusi
astic Audience at Helena.
Helena, Ga., Sept. 25.— T0-day Gov.
Gordon addressed the citizens of Telfair and
adjoining counties at Helena. Despite the
threatening clou .is a large crowd gathered
to bear the grand old chieftain. Tue gov
ernor came to Mcßae on the midnight
train and a large crowd, headed by
the Cordele Band, greeted him upon
his arrival. He was co.'nf rtat.ly quartered
at the Mcßae hotel. Early this morning
your reporter called upon him and found
him resting quietly in nis room. Soon the
anxious people began to call and each one
would give him a fervent shake of the hand.
Gov. Gordon’s address was delivered in
the new warehouse built by tbe Savannah.
Atnericus and M ntgornery road at Helena
and presented to the alliance of this section.
When he arose he w/rs greeted with a tre
mendous applause. He b j gun by thanking
the alliance for selecting him to receive
tbe warehouse for them from the S. A. M.
road. He next alluded to the progress of
the wiregrass region. He complimented
the 8. A. M. road not only as a developer of
the resources of this section, but also for
affording competition, and thus aiding the
farmers and this entire section. The gov
ernor devoted no time to personal allusions
or political discussion except so far as the
public interest was interwoven with the
material progress of the country. Elo
quently he laid down two
propositions First, that it was absolutely
essential to the future developing it and
progress of all the agricultural sections of
this country to secure from the general
government a reformation in its industrial
policies and financial system; second, no
less essential is the well-being of our south
ern section was it that our great staple ootton
should be under control of the producers
instead of the moneyed manipulators of
that product. These two propositions were
well received by the attentive audience.
In dhcussing the first proposition he
showed the necessity of enlarging the
volume of currency and giving to it elas
ticity, and so arranging it by statutory
provisions as to make it less expensive to
the producing ola-ses. He said it was better
to have a redundancy of currency tnau in
sufficiency.
The governor spoke of the necessity of the
southern people controlling she cotton crop.
He congratulated the alliance on its moves
in this direction. He wanted all the sec
tions to have alliance warehouses, heated
at the most practical points, aud these
warehouses would be the first step to inde
pendence. The next step was to secure
relief for the holders of cotton. Let each
warehouse c mutiny of the alliance issue
receipts or certifi ates to the amount of
80 per cent, of the cotton stored, and these
receipts would be good collateral for money
in any of the markets of the world. On
these money could be gotten cheap from the
money centers.
Gen. Gordon did not think the sub-treasury
bill would pass. Ho wauted the farmers to
have their own warehouses and be indepen
dent of the government, and yet secure.
He said Georgia was the only remaining
state that insisted ou the sub-treasury as a
test of loyalty to the allianoe principles.
The Virginia, North Carolina and 'Texas
alliances had abandoned that position, aud
even Missouri, in which it was bom, had
adopted a different platform. Why, theu,
should Georgia alliancemen insist on it as a
test of loyalty 1 He said we
could never expect to carry any point
divided, aud CoL L. L. Polk, president
of the national alliance had said that the
sub-treasury bill would never pass, but it
was a good thing to rally the people. At
the conclusion of the governor’s address the
band struck up “Dixie,” and the people
crowded around the old chieftain and anx
iously grasped his hand. This section is
solid for Gen. Gordon.
Special delivery letter was sent by mail
on Savannah and Western to-day.
POLITICS IN FLORIDA.

cratic Oratora to the Front.
Jacksonville, Fla., Bept. 25.—J. J.

Louisville and Nashville railroad bridge
gang man fell from the trestle yesterday
about 1 p. m., receiving injuries from which
Dr. Scull thinks his recovery is doubtful.
The bridge where he fell is forty feet high.
A BOMBSHELL EXPLODED.
Bouth Carolina Republicans Will Vote
for Stralghtout Democrats.
Charleston, S. C., Sept. 25.—The Till
man ticket, nominated by the democratic
state convention on Sept. 10, has by no
means been elected as yet. A bombshell
was exploded to-day by the republican state
executive committee, which threatens to
put an entirely different phase on the mat
ter. The committee was authorized by the
state republican convention to put out a
state ticket, if they deemed it advisable. It
has transpired that the committee have
agreed upon a ticket, the composition of
which leaked out to-day. It is as follows:
Governor, A. C. Haskell; lieutenant gov
ernor, Jonn Bratton; secretary of state, J.
Q. Marshall; treasurer, W. A. Aucrum;
controller general, T. W. Barnwell; attor
ney general, J. H. Earls; adjutant general,
M. L. Bonham; superintendent of educa
tion, J. H. Rica, All the nominees are
straightout democrats, who opposed the
Tillman movement, aad most of them op
posed it on the stump.
CAN BE ELECTED.
The republicans claim that the ticket can
be elected, even without the aid of white
votes. There are 157,000 colored voters in
the state, against about 80,000 whites. Of
the colored voters they say over 110,000 are
regis.ered and qualified to vote for state
officers, aud they can poll 100,000 of these
for this straightout democratic ticket. Be
sides this, they claim that 20.000 democratic
voters will join them in voting for this
ticket as against the Tillman ticket.
Even if there should be no opposition, it
is estimated that Tillman will not be able
to poll more than 30,000 votes in the entire
state. Sinoe the straightout democrats
abandoned the fight against Tillman the
discontent has been growing in the party,
and the republicans count on these oppo
nents of Tillman to see that there shall be a
fair count.
TILLMAN LEADERS WORRIED.
The Tillman leaders here are very much
worried about it. One of them said to-day
that if Judge Haskell allowed the negroes to
vote for him there would be more negroes
killed in November than were killed iu 1876.
The republicans say they don’t care
whether the men they nominate decline to
serve or not, they will vote for them, and
the straightout democrats mav do as they
please, All they are expected to do is to
see a fair count of the ballots. The ticket, it
is thought, can carrv the white vote of at
least six or eight counties.
The recent congressional primaries in
which the alliance candidates have been
beaten have done much to stiffen the anti-
Tillman faction of the democracy.
From nine peach trees tn OraDge , Cal., 5,128
pounds were picked.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1890.
RAILROAD EMPLOYES STRIKE.
Telegraphers and Clerks on tbe Mac
key System Quit Work.
Terre Haute, Ind., Sept. 25.—Some
time ago a federation was formed of a num
ber of operators and clerks employed on the
Mackey lines, with the view of demanding
an increase of pay. Last Sunday tbe or
ganization was completed at Evansville,
with the following officers: B. M. Hopkins
of Fort Branch, president; W. D. Sears of
Princeton, secretary and treasurer, and
i O. P. Williams of Princeton, corre*ponding
secretary. Mr. Hopkins is tbe company’s
agent at Fort Branch.
It wav given out as the intention to make
a demand for increased pay and give the
company five days to consider the demand,
but yesterday, learning that Sears had been
discharged, the men decided to strike at
once. A demand was made on the company
fur his reinstatement, aud for an increase
of pay of about 15 per cent.
The company’s officials replied that
the matter would have to be taken under
advisement, and last night the men struck.
At 11:30 o’clock, however, Mr. Hopkins
telegraphed to the boys on the Evansville
and Terre Haute and Evansville and In
dianapolis to go to work pending a confer
ence to te held with General Mauager Saul
at Evansville within a week.
Tbe company claims that Sears was not
discharged because of bis membership with
the federation, but for other good reasons,
and the men assert the contrary. There
was some little delay to freight trains dur
ing the morning, but none to passenger
trains.
TELEGRAPHERS AND STATION AGENTS OCT.
Chicago, Sept. 25.—The telegraph oper
ators and station agents of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois railroad between Evansville
and Terre Haute went on a strike this
morning, demanding an advance in wages
to the standard prices paid by other rail
roads. The telegraph operators and station
agents on the Peoria, Decatur and
Evansville railroad are also reported
to have struck for the same
advance. These two roads are part of tbe
Mac Key system. It is not known how many
mon have gone out or whether the strike
will become general on the whole system or
not. Several officers of the system in this
city have gone t > the scene of the strike to
effect, it is said, a compromise with the
strikers.
SHEARERS GO ON STRIKE.
Melbourne, Sept. 25. —Shearers in New
South YVales aud Queensland have gone on
a strike. The employers in Sydney insist
that the unionists shall aocept the principles
laid down in their recent manifesto, before
they will cousent to hold a con/erance with
the strikers.
STREET RAILWAY EMPLOYES DISSATISFIED.
Chicago, Sept. 25.—Trouble is brewing
between the West Side Streetcar Company
and its conductors and drivers. The main
body of the employes claim t .at the oom
panv is fostering opposition to the union,
making an effort to break down the regular
union, and seeking to force the political
action of the men in the coming elec
tion in November. The company, on
the other hand, denies these alle
gations, and says that the men
are unruly and seem to bo seeking to make
trouble. A stormy conference between the
manager and a committee of tbe employes
was held yesterday, and as a result of it a
general meeting of conductors and drivers
has been called for Saturday night to con
sider the situation. The men freely
threaten to tie up all the West Side lines.
NATIONAL PRISON CONGRESS.
The Cincinnati Meeting Opened—Pres
ident Hayes' Address.
Cincinnati, Sept. 25.—The twentieth an
nual convention of the national prison con
gress held its opening meeting here to-night.
A drizzling rain operated to restriot the
attendance. D. T. Wright of this city,
chairman of the local committee, presided.
Ihe president of the congress, ex-President
Hayes, in his address said:
In talking about questions and subject* that
are naturally to be considered in all these
gatherings, we have to consider both the
doctrine and the Idea- what our faith is on the
general sub.iect as well as the practical facts
which enable us to Improve the condition of
prisoners, and the treatment of prisoners -all
with a view to the benefit of society; not crimi
nal alone, but all. Our theory about that is
that the sermon on the mount, at least, con
tains the whole story. We are tied together;
we are brothers indeed; we cannot escape our
neighbors. Wherever any stratum of society is
oppressed, all. sooner or later, will suffer.
Society is so compacted together that the crime
of any Is. in some way, sooner or later,
mischief to all. Its large and liberal ideas
like t hose that we have been taught by groat
men of the past in their association Nothing
is more true than this. 'That the ideal com
munity, with reference to crime, with refer
ence to continuation aud perpetuity of free in
stitutions. is that community in which every
human feels that with the virtues of economy
and temperance and industry, it is within his
power, at least, to own a humble
none, to educate his children to
lav by something for a wet
day, to prepare for old age. and that community
in which there are large masses of people who
have not that hope, that community is one
where free institutions are not safe, and where
you may predict with the utmost confidence
that crime will continue to increase.
Gen. Hayes theu passed to the considera
tion of practical questions, iu which he
made a point against the system of making
our jails and lockups academics of crime by
placing young offenders where they are
subject to the influence of professional
criminals. He spoke strongly in favor
of severe treatment of the incurably
criminal classes. In closing he suggested
that these topics should be the subject of
more serious consideration by the people at
large than they had yet received.
At the close of his address the convention
adjourned until to-morrow morning.
WAR ON A GOAL TRUST.
Proceedings Under the Anti Trust
Law Begun at Nashville.
Nashville, Sept. 25.—Hon. John Ruhm,
United States district attorney for Middle
Tennessee, under the direction of the At
torney General of the United States, to-aay
filed a petition in the clerk’s office against
companies owning or operating mines from
which coal is shipped to Nash
ville, and all local dealers selling
to oonsumers, numbering three or four
dozen companies. The petition alleges that
a combination or trust exists between the
above corporations and individuals to fire
prices for the Nashville coal market and
thus monopolize and control the coal trade
in Nashville, The petition asks for an
injunction in accordance with the provis
ions of the anti-trust law passed by con
gress July 2, 1890, and is probably the first
proceedings taken under the law.
THE SUGAR TRUST.
New York, Sept 25.—An application

Approved by Monarchist Journals.
Paris, Sept. 25.—Monarchist journals
express approval of the letter of the Count
of Paris to Senator Boscher concerning the
part he (the Count of Paris) took iu the

and accuse him of dishonorable com
promises and acknowledging that he was
preparing to sacrifloe the country to his
ambition and hatred.

MISSISSIPPI’S OONVBNTION.
The Public School Question Under
Consideration.
Jackson, Miss., Sept. 25. —The sum ap
propriated by the legislature to defray the
expenses of the constitutional convention
having become exhausted, economic meas
ures began to manifest themselves early in
the morning session. The main points of
the controversy arising out of the education
question involve considerations of taxation
and revenue. Under the present
law it has been the custom
for cities and towns to establish school dis
trict* separate from remaining portions of
the counties where the same are situated
and supported by local taxation. It is now
sought to abolish the-e separate school dis
tricts and make one fund for each county,
putting city and county schools on the same
footing.
After postponing action on the education
question, the report of the executive com
mittee was taken up and considered. It
changes the existing law by making the fol
lowing officers ineligible as their own suc
cessors: Governor, state treasurer, auditor
of public accounts, sheriff and county
treasurer. The governor shall have power
to convene the legislature in extra sossion,
but the legislature shall have the power to
consider matters other than those desig
nated in the call.

A Bloodthirsty Cat.
From Washington C. FI. Cyclone.
It is difficult to imagine the number of
small animals and birds an ordinary cat
catches during a lifetime. Mr. Aimer Heg
ler of Wayne township has one of the most
successful cats at this kind of sport that we
know of. Mr. Hegler has kept a strict ac
count of the amount of game his cat has
brought to the house between the 15th of
last May and the present time, and thinks
that be did not see more than one-half that
the cat actually c lught. The cunning
feliue brought iu the following game to Mr.
Hegler’s certain knowledge: Forty-three
rabtiits, five quails, five sparrows, one yel
low-hammer, one flying squirrel, one yel
low bird, two larks, two wrens, and two
turtledoves. If there is another oat that
can beat this record, Mr. Hegler would like
to hear from it.
