Turner’s Chances. The following special to the Atlan ta Journal appeared in yesterday’s [in per: Bucnswk k, Ga., July 21.—“Judge J. II. Guerry, of Dawson, passed through the city yesterday, en route for Cumberland. He said he did not propose to take any part in the con gres.-ionnl campaign iq the second dis trict, and predicted the return of Mr, Turner.’’ Judge Guerry made a mistake in accepting the endorsement of the Al bany convention, held in that city, on the 15th iust. Turner has twelve votes and lie wi'l get four more in Thomas to-moi row. Colquitt and Lowndes are ceiiain to go for h{m, and ell the indications are that lie will carry both Decatur and Mitch ell. A Good Platform. The alliancemen -are demanding the sub-treasury plan, alleging that it is the plan for relief. Speaking of the out look for relief, the Constitution says : We are of the opinion that the farmers, and especially the farmers of the south, will never attempt to find the remedy for which they are search ing outside the democratic party, AVc have never discovered any disposition to do so, but we do believe that the demonsiration they are making will be such an object lesson to the politicians that when the democrats come into power in 1892 they will make haste to give the tillers of the soil these remedies, which cover .the whole ground: x. The free coinage of silver. 2, The repeal of the statute out lawing rcaj estate in the banks. , • > j. The repeal of the ten percent, tax on the circulation of state batiks. 4. t'lic wholesale rcduc'.'on of federal taxation. -J > It will be noticed that the Constitu tion, which has been silent on the sub- treasury plap, does_not include that impracticable scheme in its measures for relief. Had this idea been more elaborately set forth by the Constitu* tion during the struggle of Judge Stewart with Livingston, in which the former was overwhelmed by the ad vocates of the sub-treasury scheme probably the fifth district nou'd have been represented in the next congress by a man who would have had some recognition, cith cr r om democrats or republicans, in the house. Ou r es teemed contemporary might have add ed that the demr 'ratic party has been in favor of ca..v : ng out the principles and policy above set totfh, but that they have been thwarted, at evry turn, liy the republicans.

Denver, Cot ., July 22.—At in id- night last night occurred a terrific catastrophe that has temporarily iso lated the towns of the Cler- creek canyon om the world. An immense cloud hurst near the forks of the creeks, pouring a deluge of water thin the walls of the canyon. It completely demolished two iron rail way bi.dgesat the forks, and, as far can be learned, annihilated all the structures in the vicinity. The res taurant, depot and out houses were swept away by the flood, but no lives were lost. A11 immense column of water, laden with wreckage, went tearing down the canyon, with terrible result. The greater portion ol the roadbed was washed away, and all means of com munication are destroyed. A Cyclone in Dakota Minneapolis, July 22.—A special to the Tribune from Fargo, N.
