VOL. III. 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 red Rr obligation, should have dk d the performance of that obfi lon, however reluctant or how r unsteady bis footsteps aright • in walking around the comer to »e polhaig place, - •ri r.^o/Dcmocrecy Happily Tor the caa and fcv m 4e§sj THE TOCCOA > TIMES - TOCCOA, HABERSHAH COUNTY, GA., NO V EH BE R 2, 1894. and the invasion statesmen of fr&mTndiana, Republican orators Ohio, Ma i ne, and elsewher e^ we h a ve in the field for Governor this year Democrat who does his own fight¬ ing ! 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 J>ut down his centerboard and let out another reef. 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. Those fellows who have been predicting The Times would be squelched in three months, should to advertise in The Times.

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. Subscriber. Another Japanese Army. 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.” Demo rest. Special Correspondence to The Times.

The friends of Loula Heskett pleasantly surprised her at her home last \Veek. We learn Mr. Robinson has pur¬ chased the Livery business of W. W. Nix. Chestnut parties to the moun¬ tains are now in order. The ladies of the W. C. T. U. are very busy in making prepara¬ tions for their County convention to be held in Demorest November 9th. The Demorest Gold Medal contest is expected to occur at this time. F. W.Robinson and family have taken rooms in the Lake View Hotel for this winter. Real Estate Transfers. Last week there were several real estate transfers, strong which we note: D. J. Simpson bought Mr. Ramsay’s house and tot, near the Simpson House, and W. M. Kilgo sold to Mr. Ramsay Ms house and tot on Franklin street .and Mr. Kilgo bought a bouse and lot from Mr. D. J. Sampson on Currahee Hlvvl —a. — — • 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 •ne’s mother, or own* any tuuyards,there must be some mistake. Therefore the let¬ ters are published hoping that parties inter¬ ested may see them and give them proper acknow ledginent. Atlanta Georgia October the 23 18!M.
