“I presume so, but why didn't he sty
so? That’s what I was asking him and
that’s what I want to know. He could
have just as will told me in a quiet,

“Well, you’d better let him alone.”
He didn’t, though. He slipped away
and renewed the controversy, and ten
minutes later he came back with his nose
knocked into the middle of last week

The Irish, for instance, see that Mr.
Cleveland is really a friend. They do
not have to be dragged reluctantly to the
polls, but leave the shaus of Mr. Blaine’s
anti-British cry and come willingly back
into the democratic party. |
“The issue of this campaign—tariff re
form—being an issue wh ; ch is actual,
and one which requires reasoning, the
campaign is one of civility.”
“But, Governor,” ventured the corres
pondent, “may there not be another
reason for the success ci the democrats’
national ticket in this state? Do you not
feel that your own nomination has done
much to aid Mr. Cleveland I 1 ”
The Governor waited a moment and
then said seriously and quietly:—“Yes, I
cannot help feeling that; I cannot help
seeing it.”
“Do you reason now from what you
have seen in the state or from former
elections?”
“From many things. In my nomina
tion certain warring factions of the party
were united, and I tell you they are
going to keep united on the democratic
national and state tickets, whatever may
be their disagreements on local inter
ests.”
“But is there not some dissatisfaction
among the New York democracy with
President Cleveland ?” ■'
' “Well, there is some, of course, hut it
is not going to figure in the election.
There were a lot of democrats in New
York who expected some patronage
when Mr. Cleveland lecame president.
They did not get it, and of course, they
are dissatisfied.”
“Just tell the people of California that
since Mr. Cleveland first led in this state
we have never lost an election. I’ll tell
the people of the east that myself.”
Waxing enthusiastic, the ' governor
said: “Tell them that since the time
when Cleveland headed the ticket for
governor and I for lieutenant governor,
,we never have lost an election for the
national or state ticket. Tell them also
that at the present moment there is not
a single prominent democrat of New
-York who is opposed to Mr. Cleveland.
Think of that carefully. There is not a
single one. And last of all, say that
Gov. Hill i3 working might and main for
the success of the national democratic
ticket, and he is ready to stand or fall

Hewitt and Cornel) Will Probabl) Oppose
Each Other.
j New York, Sept. 24.—[Special.]—It is
given out semi-ofBcially that Mayor
Hewitt will be renominated by the
county democracy county convention
unanimously when it comes to meet in
October. Next Tuesday evening, the 25th
inst, the county democracy will hold
itt first meeting etoce last spring. Mayor
Hewitt was asked yesterday who would
decide as to the fitness of any candidate
that might be chosen for mayor ? The
question was called forth by Mr. Hewitt’s
statement that if a fit man was cbosen
he would not run against him.
- “I shall decide,” he said, "whether or
not I shall run again. I ask nothing more
than that a good man be nominated. The
democratic party is rich in good men,
and it would have no difficulty in finding
one who would properly conduct this of
fice. Mr. Cleveland went into the office
of president,” Mr. Hewitt said, changing
the subject, “ill prepared for the work,
but his administration has been remark
ably good, and has been pure and honest
The country is prosperous. The contin
uance in office of the republicans meant
corruption. The democrats should not
be trusted too long, however; for all par
ties, long in power, become corrupt."
The very latest candidate mentioned
for mayor on the republican side is Gov.
Alonzo B. Cornell, whose recent corres
pondence with Mayor Hewitt has drawn
attention to him as a fair competitor in
the field of voting to the latter. Mr. Cor
nell represented the Eleventh assembly
district of this city in the legislature of
1879, and was speaker of the assembly in
that year. He was elected governor in
1879, and had Grover Cleveland for his
successor. • It is supposed that Mr. Cor
nell would dome as near polling the full
republican vote in the city of New Yotk
as any candidate yet named on that side.
The notion of running an ex-governor of
the state as mayor of New York is not a
new one. In 1876 the republican candi
date for mayor in this city was John A.
Dix, whose term of service as governor
had expired on January 1, 1875. Gen.
Dix received 57,811 votes. The success
ful democratic candidate wa3 Smith Eiy,
Jr, who had 111,850.

Harrison, and in circular form the words,
“\V. 11. Harrison, born 1775.” It seems
to have been made to wear as a watch

by some staunch old whig of that time.

and have them cancelled. This neglect
often causes mischief and impairs the
credit ol those who are so negligent. It
is not the business of the merchant or
money lender to have the mortgages
cancelled, and unless the person taking
up the mortgage attends to it himself, it
is kept on the county records, a warning
to all men that the property is bound for
debt. It is the best plan to have all
mortgages cancelled as soon as they are
paid off.

The attendance on the fall session is
perhaps made up, as there are about 150
students enrolled, which favorably com
pares with preceding years. AU of the
classes have settled down to work and
once more the monotonous routine of
study and recitation has been resumed.
The number of students in each class is
approximately as follows:
Law students. 15
Senior class. 30
Junior class 40
Sophomore class. 50
Freshman 15
Total 150
The number of new students who
have entered college this year is consid
erably in excess of last. The falling off
is in the attendance of old students,
many of whom have not returned.

of Col. Andrews, an enterprising mem

to assnmo all responsibility for the pay-
rneut of the uniforms. This liberal offer
on the part of Col. Anderson was readily
accepted by the boys, and as the Colonel
is himself a thorough soldier as well as
an imposing individual, having served
with distinction as commander of one of
the Virginia college regiments, he was
honored with the position of captain of
the new company. His liberality, re
sponding to this generous compliment
from his appreciative fellow lawyers,
gave the class a handsome treat at Rush’s

THE MARKET HOUSE AND CITY CLOCK-
HUNGRY ENOUGH TO APPRECIATE FINE
BEEF—PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE AND THE
CAPITOL.
■Washington D. C., September 24.—
Banner-Wactiimas. I am in ono of
the prettiest cities that can be found in
this our land of liberty. Look at its
broad streets, as smooth and hard as s
house floor, no banging nor thumping
over rock pavements, nor through mud,
hub deep, as is often the case in our
Classic Athens. In her prominent busi
ness street one sees the numerous and
elaborate parks shaded with such a va
riety of trees and shrubbery mounds and
plats filled with beautiful flowers so ar
tistically arranged, which are beautiful to
look upon. One could wish that when
this body of ours is laid away to its
resting place it might be beneath ono of
these mounds which both nature and art
havo so beautiful formed. Wo might
go on and talk hours of the parks and
avenues as now seen here, and leave
untold half their beauty and attractions.
I’ennsylviana avenue is the wide and
fashionable business street A walk
through this street, and a look at the
fine display of goods of every descrip
tion seen in the store windows is well
worth the time spent Corcoran Art

this city, of which I will say more some
future time. Early this morning I took
an inside view of tho Central market.

The present Senior class is a very

haps the brightest boy of the class, and
who has been its leader in both Sopho
more and Junior years. He is the Ath

stands high, and is one of the best writers
in the class. Last year he won a Junior

loose agaiq, and now turns up with the
information that the seaside resorts dur
ing the summer have had an average at
tendance of twentv-elght women
every man. There has, indeed, bee_
deplorable scarcity of men at all the re
sorts. At many of the balls the ludi
crous spectacle of a set composed of one
man and seven girls is common, and the
entire set is not infrequently by
girls.
While there has boon no falling off to
the increase of feminine medical practi
tioners, the growth for the last three
months would probably havo been larger
had not a goodly number of tho medical
neophytes been diverted to tho study of
the sister art, dentistry, which has re
cently gained many recruits from the
rex. In New York particularly the num
ber of women matriculating at dental
colleges is rapidly growing.
Read what Hon. Joseph E.
Brown, U nitkd States Senator
from Georgia, has to say about
this Wonderful Cure:
Atlanta, Ga., Februaryi i,iS8S.
To the Hunn : cutt Rheumatic
Cure Company:
Gentlemeu—I Yave been troub
led with Bronchitis, and occasional
Sore Throat, with severe Cough,
for a number of years past, and I
have tried a great many of the most
popular remedies known to the
public or the profession, some
mitigating the disease more and
some less. I was finally induced to
try the preparation known as
Hunnicutt’s Throat And Lung
Cure,which I have used frequently
of late, and I find it a most excellent
medicine.
Indeed, I do not hesitate to say
that I have derived more benefit
from it than I have from any or all
the other preparations.
In case of Sore Throat it it,
especially fine. When in that
condition I sip about a teaspoonful
at a time every hour or so, keeping
the throat lubricated with it, with
very satisfactory results.
It has another excellence in my
case: It never produces nausea, but
acts rather as a tonic. Very truly,
etc.,
Joseph E. Brown.

A Good Appetite.
Is essential to good health; but at
this season it is often lost, owing to*the
poverty or impurity of the blood de
rangement of the digestive organs, and
the weakening effect of the changing
season. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a wond
erful medicine for cresting on appetite,
toning the digestion and giving strength
to the whole system. Now is the time
to take it. Be sure to get Hood’s Sarsa
