The Candidates.
Levi Parsons Morton, the Re
publican candidate for Governor,
deserves very well of his republican
party friends. He has always been
a consistent and unchanging Re¬
publican. He has served his party
with loyalty in Congress, with dis¬
tinction as an American Minister
abroad, and with rare tact, fairness,
ami intelligence us presiding officer
of the United States Senate.
These services have been supple¬
mented by generous but irregular
pecuniary contributions to the party
war chest. He has taken in other
campaign work no active part..
lie has enunciated no new prin¬
ciples. He defends no policies. He
has delivered no speeches. He has
left to others the onerous task of
organization. Usually he has beep
successful, but occasionally he has
been defeated; sometimes in cuu
c us , sometimes in nominating con
vention, and once at the polls.
But he ■ has taken these defeats
philosophically, and has continued,
unswerving and unresentful, his
support of the Republican party
^nd its principles.
Air. Morton is now the Republi
can candidate for Governor of New
.York, and his party friends, re¬
membetring his honorable services
and mindful of the importance of
the contest, are giving him their
aid. IIis old assbeiattf On "" the
Presidential ticket of 1888, Benja
min Harrison, is to speak in his be
half during the closing week of the.
campaign. Tom Reed has already
spoken. Major McKinley is on
the stump for Mr. Morton, begin¬
ning in Buffalo.
David Bennett Hill, tlpc Demo¬
cratic nominee for Governor ot
Now York, has been as loyal to the
Democratic party as Mr. Morton
to the Republican party, Ilis la
bor has been of Xi different sort,
lie has fought as stoutly fur other
Democrats as for himself. He has
taken upon his own shoulders for
years the hardest labor of organiza¬
tion, and the condition of the par¬
ty in New York at this time, bet¬
ter here than in any other Northern
or Western state, attests his politi¬
cal skill. He is the most active,
tireless, and popular of Democrat¬
ic campaign speaker in the United
States. He has been at the front
of every fight for Democratic prin¬
ciples in New York since he at¬
tained tKe age of citizenship. The
first Democratic United States
Senator from New York since Ker
nan, his public services as Govern¬
or turned New York from a doubt¬
ful State into a surely Democratic
State. His battle for Democratic
principles in Congress, is the main¬
stay of the party’s hope in New
York and the inspiration of Demo
crats elsewhere.
U Grover Cleveland proposing,
like Gen. Harrison, to aid the can¬
didate of his party' by a speech any
where in New York in the closing
days of the campaign? No. Mr.
Hill was his colleague on the suc
cessfui State ticket of 1S82. Mr.
Hill was his successor in the office
of Governor when Cleveland be
came President. Mr. Hill is the
aenior Senator in the Senate from
New York, and. us such, is Cleve¬
land’s Constitutional adviser. Mr.
Hill is the nominee for Governor
of Cleveland’s own party in Cleve
land’s own State. And yet, igno¬
rant of the amenities of his posi¬
tion, indifferent to the most solemn
party obligations, careless of the
interest of 600,000 or more New
York Democrats, who, with Hill
at their head, have three times con¬
secutively supported him as their
nominee for President f he has hot

Women Voters.
One of the significant tendencies
to be noted among the women who
have espoused politics will be ob-'
servedwith some surprise by those
who had expected that the woman,
once in the political field, would
either flock by themselves or else
follow meekly.in the ways of their
lords .and masters.
The recent conventions in Ill¬
inois have disclosed the woman
separated and grouped along party
lines and expressing very positive
sentiments in the tone of conviction.
Save for the fact that they art; for
an enlargement of woman’s oppor¬
tunities, they are as distinctly di¬
vided in their affiliations as are
their brothers in politics.
It will be interesting to note m
the coming election in that state
whether their vote for .the school
trustees is given pretty evejWy to
all the women candidates or wheth¬
er it goes to the candidates of
one party, thus showing a prefer¬
ence on political grounds rather
than on grounds of sex.
EDITORIAL NOTES
Not every American girl can
have a prince, but every one may
wear a chrysanthemum at this sea¬
. son of the year. The difference is
that the chrysanthemum, while
equally decorative, is far iess cost
lv.
The angelic smile which oc¬
casionally illuminates theexpansive
countenance of Tom Reed is oc¬
casioned, it is believed, by deep
contemplation of what he is going
to do to Mr. Crisp when the house
convenes.
The Times is here to stay; and
we would like to impress on some
of the amateur lawyer-newspa¬
per men that it will take a man
who,wears a much larger hat than
he does to “run The Times out in
three months.”
There is a steady increase in the
number of candidates who are
merely waiting for the formality of
election to lie accomplished in or¬
der to assume the presidency of the
United States.
The latest report from the racing
Mr. McKinley indicate tiiat he has

The only achievement now left
for the ambitious bicyclist is a vic¬
tory over the steam engine and the
electric trolley.
Congressman Wilson might re¬
taliate by crossing the Ohio river
and making speeches in Mr. Mc¬
Kinley’s own bailiwick.
No one would like to see A. P.
Gorman assisting Mr. Hill’s can¬
didacy half as much as would Levi
P. Morton.
Twedeedle Bill Twitty of
Jackson county says, Tate couldn’t
afford to vote to place marble on
the free list because he (Tate) was
interested in marble quarries. The
record shows that Tate did vote to
place marble on the free list. Con¬
sequently Twedeedfi; Bill Twit
ty, is a knave and Tate is an honest
man, who votes for the interest of
his constituents regardless of his
own interest.

predicting The Times would be

Editor Toccoa Times :
I noticed in your issue of Octo¬
ber 19th., a local notice comenda
torv of Mr. A. M. Gribble, as a
candidate for sheriff. I have
known Mr. Gribble for 4 ftiite a
while, as well as all the other can¬
didates for sheriff, and must say
we believe Mr, Gribble will make,
if elected, N as good a sheriff asHab
ersham has ever had. Gribble
does not know what fear is in the
discharge of his duty,and is simply
fearless. And another thing, you
can always, count on hiin serving
any paper put into his hands for
service, and he will serve it, too,
even if the party for whom the pa¬
per is issued can controll a number
of votes.
Mr. Gribble is young and just in
the prime of life, and we think it
but justice that some new man fill
the sheriff’s office, especially when
he is in every way as competent as
any one of the other gentlemen in
the race. Another thing is in
Gribble’s favor; if he is elected, he
says he will move into the jail,
thus be always on hand in case of
need.
Gribble will get a good vote in
this section as well as in the lower
part of the county. It looks as if
Gribble would be our next sheriff.

London, October 29.— The
Times has these dispatches from
the east:
“Yokohama—Another Japanese
army,24,000 strong, is assembling
at Hiroshima.

“Shanghai—It is reported that
Port Arthur has been completely
ip vested by the Japanese and cari
not hold out long, . Advices from
Moukden state that General Tso’s
forces was not annihilated in the
battle of Ping Yang. The greater
part of it escaped and reformed un¬
der General Nieh. It is believed
at Moukden that the Japanese will
require a much larger army than
they possess to secure the Chinese
palace treasure.”

The Sword Swallower.
/ '
V
Last Saturday evening there ap¬
peared a tramp in our midst, and
after obtaining a dry goods box and
sticking three or four old swords
in it to make an effectual display
of his weapons, he proceeded to
tell his audience,who had gathered
around him,that he would swallow
each of the swords, the smallest of
which measured iS inches long
and 2 inches wide, while the larg¬
est one was about two teet in
length.
To all appearances the man ac¬
tually swallowed the swords up to
the hilt and a citizen of Toccoa
pulled one out of the prestiga
teur’s mouth. Then the man swal¬
lowed a bayonet on a musket,
the gun standing straight out from
his mouth horizontally.
The feat was witnessed by a large
number of our merchants and citi¬
zens, and all pronounced the man
as swallowing the swords. One
of our physicians, who saw the
feat, said it looked to him as though
the man actually swallowed the
knives, but said, “of course he
didn’t.” Another eminent physi¬
cian says it was hypnotism.
Whatever it was, we would like to
know ; who can explain it ?
Queer.
A gentleman told a reporter of
the^ Times that recently several near
Carnesville, there were
bodies taken up and removed to a f
new burying ground, and airtong
them was the body of Mr. Jus.
Gmy, who had been buried four
teen years, When the coffin was
opened it was found that he had
turned entirely over in his coffin.
His face and toes were down and
his legs were crossed, How and
.
when did he turn over, is the ques
tion ?
5ome Letters.
The following letters were directed to the
postmaster at Toccoa, fla., lint as he is no

must be some mistake. Therefore the let¬
ters are published hoping that parties inter¬
ested may see them and give them proper
acknow ledginent.

the will of the people. The Times
will always be the best newspaper
in this section of Georgia. We
never retrograde; we are always
in the forefront and battling for
our county, our city and our state.
No one will ever publish a better
paper and more news than we will
as long as we are in the business.
Don’t be misled by these half-wit¬
ted cranks who prowl around the
country and tell people they will
start a paper in Toccoa. anti run
The Times out in three months.
They have never run anybody
away or out of anything and if any
running is to be done The Times
will be the man in the rear.
