THAT LETTER HURTS.
The infamous letter which was sup
posed to have Ifen written by Dudley
and which was proven to have emena-
ted from the Republican national
committee, has, no doubt, injured the
Republican party in the State of In
diana. The contents of this letter,
are already well known to the public,
being addressed to the chairman of
oue of the county committees, and
containing suggestions, on the part of
the writer, to use foul means to ob
tain Republican votes, in which he
would be assisted by sufficient funds
from the national committee. The
publication of this letter, together with
the positive evidence that it came
from the Republican committee, has
given th9 Democrats a number of
votes throughout the Sto.te, and men
who were yesterday enthusiastic in
the cause of Republican success, have
refused to countenance corruption by
their votes, and will lend their
strength to the support of the Derno-
er&tic candidates.
The Republicans of Indiana are
certainly blue over their changed pros
pects. If they had hoped a day d$r
two ago to carry the State, that hope
is now totally abandoned, and the
candid supporters of Harrison have
conceded their defeat. Dudley insists
that he is not the author of the letter,
hut the fact that he refuses to prose
cute the papers that charge him with
tli® deed is good presumptive evidence
of his guilt. He fears that should it
go to trial the facts would be exposed,
and lie prefers to be the loathsome
object of suspicion rather than the
odious convict of such a notorious
crime.
Thus we have another proof of the
wisdom of that declaration that cor
ruption cannot thrive where integrity
and virtue are the fruits of a rich and
cultivated soil. In this great govern
ment, where honor and honesty are
the offsprings of our just laws, and
our sacred institutions, corruption,
o*n never prosper. The honest men
of both parties, to whom integrity
is dearer than life, and private virtue
more ennobling tbau political success
—these men in their majesty of man
hood, and irrespective of their party
prejadics, condemn the action as a
crime, and its perpetrator as a crimi
nal. The cause of honest government,
of purity of methods, and of just re
form, is sure to triumph, and on Tues
day next the dove of peace and victory
wiil perch upou aur conquering ban-
will be remembered that Mr. Blaine,
was the defeated candidate in the last
election. The bitter disappointment,
which defeated his ambitious hopes is
still a painful ulcer in his clear, un
clouded memory. It is not likely that
Mr. Blaine, even amid the turmoil of
the fight, will become unconscious of
his malady, and the old complaint is ,
the envious author of this parting [
thrust. j
But in spite of Mr. Blaines opinion,
and his fierce at- i
tack on the administration,
the people of this country, are con
tented- with their choice of the Demo
cratic party, and for four more years
at least will rest serene in its supre
macy.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
BLAINE ON BAYARD.
Mr. Blaine in a speech delivered the
other day in Norwich, Conn., deigns
to reply to the speech made a few
days ago by Secretary Bayard. The
bulk of the reply consists of doubtful
humor, and tame sarcasm, the one
too gross and unrefined to please, the
other scarce strong enough to wither.
He proceeds in this fashion:—
“I have seen a speech by Mr. Ba
yard, Secretary of State. Bayard is a
peculiar gentleman, [laughter,] he is
a gentleman of very high sentiment,
in fact there is nobody who speaks the
English language so "far as I know
since Jos. Surface, who has such fine
sentiments as Bayard. [Laughter.]
He clothes everything with sentiment.
Why, in his speech be wanted to re
mark that we were a nation of 65,000,-
000 pepple. Well, that is a very plain
fact and there are a great many pee-
ple who know it besides Bayard, but
he did not say it in this ordinary way.
Bayard says: “And now let us raise
our minds and let us elevate our
moral vision and think of what we
are—a nation of sixty-five million
people!”
Now this is fine humor.and judging
from the frequent bursts of laughter
that greeted the witty sayings of the
humorous statesman,’the crowd was
easily entertained. But this is no
answer to the speech of Mr. Bayard,
and what the statesman is unable to
refute, he is pleased to denominate as
sentiment. It takes a better man
than Blaine to reply to Mr. Bayard,
and in the vain attempt to hurl the
shafts of ridicule, and sully the gar
ments of purity, which adorn the up
right statesman, and the spotless man,
it does seem as though a demr-n would
degrade a god, and vice corrupt the
integrity of virtue.
Mr, Blaine closes his witty speech
with this passage, which happens
to be his only serious re
mark:—
“And, gentlemen, levity aside,
speaking of Bayard’s position in re
gard to Lord Sackville, the Demo
cratic party never has conducted the
affairs of this conntry ~ith Great
Britain with dignity or with advan
tage. If yon will contrast the admin
istrations of Grant and of Lincoln, of
their conduct of affairs with Great
Britain, with what has been done by
the Democratic party, yon would ask
no other issue.”
Now this attack on the administra
tion is not altogether unexpected. It
Adopted by the Warden and Vestry of
Emmanuel Parish.
Athens, Ga.. October 27th 1888—
At a meeting of the Wardens and Ves
try of Emmanuel Parish, held this day
the following paper was read and unani
mously adopted:
It hath pleased our Heavenly Father,
to call from darkness into light*our be
loved friend and brother John W. Ne-
vitt
The Wardens and Vestry of Emman
uel Parish,desire to place on record their
appreciation of the exalted worth and
nuble Christian character of their de
ceased associate, to testify to the griev
ous loss which they and the Parish have
sustained in his death, and to gi\e ex
pression to their sympathetic grief with
those related to him by the ties of
blood.
John Wilson Nevitt, was born in Sa
vannah, Ga., November 6ih 1814. Early
in life he engaged in mercantile pursuits
in the city of his birth, speedily ad
vanced to become the head of a large
and influential house, continued in active
business until 1878, when he retired to
Athens where he had previously made
his home and where he died, October
12th 1888. From his early manhood, an
earnest Churhman,*he was a member of
the Vestry of this Parish for a number
of years, and subsequently its Junior
Warden, which position he held until
within a few months of his death.
This is the simple story of bis outward
life. 'Uneventful—as the world
marks eveuts which make the record of
its history—his life was one complete
consistent act of Christian virtue. Un-
solicitous of the applause of his fellow
men, he sought no public office, wrote
no books and built no monuments, but
lound full satisfaction of ambition in the
daily, grateful recognition by those
about him of his kindly graces of mind
and hcart;his firm, unerring judgment,
his tender unselfish affection for friend
and family, his genial courtesy, his no
ble chanty. He led a perfect and well
rounded life, and none may doubt or
over-estimate the value of its influence,
exerted, though it was, in gentleness,
and extended silently and without pre
tence.
He was an honest man—none more
so ever trod the earth---and manifested
his scrupulous integrity not alone in
deed, but in every word and thought.
He was a quiet unobstrusive gentl jman,
clothed in the simple dignity of a lofty
character, and wearing the crown of
spotless purity. He was a pious Chris
tian— a faithful disciple of the Blessed
Christ—upon whose firm, unswerving
faith, neither speculative doubt nor the
world’s temptations made faintest im
press. He was a devoted and earnest
Churchman—fervent in faith iu the
Church's creeds, constant in attendance
upon her services, assiduous in observ
ance of her ordinances, and generous in
contributions to her needs. He was a
tender husband, a loving father, a true,
unselfish friend. In tine, he was every
thing, and all a noble Christian gentle
man should be, and those of us who
knew him well know these to be the
words of sober truth and not of fulsome
eulogy.
Toward the close of his long snd hon
orable life afliic’ion came to him in the
loss of sight, but Christian fortitude sus
tained him, a patient, cheerful sufferer
to the end. It pleased a merciful God
to take him to Himself at last, with
speedy passage through the dark “valley
of the shadow,” a consummation he
would himself hare wished, a calm and
peaceful ending of a gentle, unsel fish
life.
Sorrowfully as we mourn the absence
of our dear, departed friend, sadly as we
bow, submissive to the will of Him
“Who doeth all things well,” we yet re
joice in the comforting assurance, that
tbe righteous are full blessed when they
d.e.
In grateful remembrance of his many
virtues, and in loving memory of their
cherished friend and associate the War
ders and Vestry of Emmauuei Parish
Resolved
1 _ That in the death of John Wilson
Neviit, this bedv has lost a wise coun
cillor, and generous associate; this Par
ish a beloved and honored member; the
community a valued, upright citizen; the
Christian brotherhood a bright exemplar
and the Chuich of Christ a faithful, zeal
ous son and servant.
2 That a copy of this paper be for
warded to tbe family of our deceased
brother, iu loving testimony of our heart
felt sympathy with them in their great
bereavement; that it be spread upon the
Records of the Parish, and be puplished

New York, Not. 8. —[Special.]— A
politician with a reddish moustache and
bald head has been haranguing a crowd
for two hours only a block distant as I
write this. The incident is trivial enough
at this time, but I shall use a few sen
tences from his frantic diatribe as an
illustration of certain methods in force
here, which may be interesting to south
ern readers.
“Who is behind the democratic party’a
managers in this campaign? Grover
Cleveland? Poor, old, decrepit Thur
man? Party millionaires? Men of brains
and patriotism?
“No, fellow-citizens, a thousand times
no. It is the rebel horde. It is the rank,
bull-dozing secessionist, who is only
waiting for an opportunity to overturn
the firm pillar of a great and glorious
union, disenfranchise the colored vote,
and pile dishonor and knavery upon the
crest of the American people. [Loud
cheering.] Cleveland is only waiting
and waiting, and if he gets in four more
years, gentlemen, the dirty, foul-mouth
ed Johnnies will take possession of our
once fair capital in swaruis.
. “Vote for Benjamin Harrison and help

The individuals who gave utterance to
the above remarkable paragraphs, it is
needless to say, professes to bo of the re
publican fath. A call on the republican
canvassing committee elicited the fact
that he is paid $1.50 a day out of Mr.
Quay's treasury. Vet no one finds fault
with him or his abuse. Look over the
Now York Sunday papers and even
though you have the eye of Argus him
self, you will find no space devot ‘d to his
enorts. Poor fool, he. with mayhap, a
family to support, accepts the choice of
the immortal Hobson, or he would as
leave be on the Brice side to night, and
be talking as loudly and as raoidly for
Cleveland and reform. It is not to Him.
but to his auditors that I wish to invite
the attention of the j«ople whom he
nightly caimans. \Yh >n ho asserted that
if Cleveland were re-elected president
the south would disenfranchise the col
ored vote, 1 expected to see his audience
smile blandly at such a broad campaign
“b|uff.” 1 evidently gave New Yorkers
too much credit lor good sense. At a
signal from a well dressed dry goods
clerk the whole crowd broke into a wild
and hilarious cheer, which lasted some
moments.
I would like to have given that man
•som points about those remarks of his.
I would like to have sh.jwji him that a
southern democrat wiil not only main
tain negro suffrage, but do it at all haz
ards from a standpoint of political self- *
preservation; and further, I would aiso
nave given a good deal to have jumped
up on the stand and draw n a picture
:comparing tho e ranting, roaring, rip
ping “rebels.’’ with the peaceful, law-
abiding republicans of Gotham during
the past week.

fights from political causes! Six with

i That is what the books at police head
quarters show. Who lias tile mo^i at

states? And yet these law-breaking se
cessionists will cast what will probably
be the largest t ote since the war, with
out a single outbreak, and these villain

mit thousands of republicans, both white
'and black, to deposit their ballot in the
ballot-box without the pieuou . necessity
oj “killing a lev niggers before break -
fa t, in order to get up an appetite” for
justice.
How long, O, Jpve! will northern re
publicans permit themselves to be gulled?
Thera has come a pause in the repub
lican j ibilation o> er the Sackville letter.
Something seems to have dropped upon
the lay out and si oiled it for exhibition
pur, oses. and so far as heard from in tbe
interior of this state both sides have re
turned to the old scheme of nailing lies.
Indeed, there seems likely to be enough
work to do in this line to fill out the re
training cays of the canvass, for most ot
the organs, not <. niy in this state but
el-ewhere.-contain hints of terrible expo
sures <:.f the other fellows that are yet to
be exploded over the heads of an as
tounded people.
Blaine is speaking over in Brooklyn
to-night, and he is doubtless telling the
people that the Sackville incident sup
plied all that was wanting to make the
success of the G. O. P. assured.
On the other hand, Mr. Hill, Mr. Bay
ard and others are rejoicing that now
nothing remains undone, and democratic
victory is perching on our banners. Both
sides claim to be equally confident
ostensibly, but were the truth
known they are in a state of
awful, living, breathing suspense.
That is about the size of it. If either
side has been strengthened by the dis
missal of the British minister it will only
be shown when the time for the casting
of ballots arrives. I might give twenty-
five interviews I have obtained with
prominent people, such as Major Dun-

An Albany paper has a report from an
agent who has. as he states, made a tou r
of the comities extending from New
York up the valley of the Hudson, thence
via the New York Central raihc ul
through Erie county, and then, e through
the southern tier, and his report is sum
marized this:
“I can :-ay that Warner Miller's ma

knowledge of the politics of Now Yor'y
and Brooklyn, is an otusi.ie estimate
probably too high by 5,00o or 10,000 votes.
In 18t54 Steve Elkins predicted demo
cratic defeat by 60.000. He declared he
had made a thorough canvass of the
state, and those were the straight figures
which even the election could not
change. Matt Quay is a political mathe
matician on a par with fo mer republi
can managers and about as badly “off.”
In a private letter discussing the polit
ical couditions of this state, a gentleman
who is a pronounced mugwump and has
been in the midst of the battle through
out the campaign and is in a position to
know the detailed results of the canvass,
aiys that every democrat and every sup
porter of the democratic party “is justi
fied in feeling the utmost confidence as
to the outcome.”
The outlook in Connecticut remains as
hazy as ever.
I had a chat with Treasurer Hyatt,
who lias !yst returned from Con
necticut, arid he told me that the well-
informed politicians he had. happened to
to meet during his visit had assured him
that, while the democrats might losb in
some directions, they would make gains
in others, so that in the end they would
hold the state by a liitle better majority
than formerly.
“By the way. said he here is a clipping
from tho Hartford Times of Friday. It
says: “The last week of this unparalleled
political campaign opens favorably for
Cleveland. The tide is setting strongly
towards the president.” But there is no
discouragement or doubt to be discov
ered in the republican journals of the
state. Not the slightest sign of anxiety
for their ticket is shown, if it is felt.

a grand, enthusiastic success. The re

it. Clubs from all over the city and
state arrived in the afternoon and re
ported immediately to Chinaman O’Don
ahue, and were assigned places in the
line. Great interest was manifested as
it was intended that this should surpass
the republican demonstration earlier
in the day. Everything pointed to a
monster celebration and it was realized.
Fireworks, brass bands, multitudes of
spectators made the occasion a memora
ble one. The weather was warm and
fair, so that nothing more could have
been desired.
The ensemble of the parade was com
posed of citizens of everv station, from
butcher and baker up to Wall street cap

eclipses the Harrison processidn of the

The hands are still playing and the
crowds shouting when you go to press,

Hurled Treasure Found.
Fall River, Mass., Nov. 3.—[Special.]
For generations a large farm on Horse
Neck, Westport, has been in the hands of
the Eddy family. Three generations baok
was an Amasa Eddy, who,his descendants
are now willing to admit, was a pirate,
and ploughed the high seas and acquired
wealth under the guidance of Captain
Kidd, and when Kidd came to an un
timely end Eddy returned to his ancestral
farm, and gained a good reputation.
Events proved that Amasa Eddy had no
more faith in institutions of saving thaw
many people of the present day, and ac
cordingly placed 1,550 Spanish silver
coins in a kettle and buried it on his
farm. Eddy died at tlie good old age of
94, and left a document drawn up in the
traditional buried treasure stvle for the
use of his descendants when they desired
a little ready cash.
Amasa Eddy, his son, was a lieuten
ant governor of Rhode Island, a conser-
vati’. e man, who put no faith in tales of
buried gold, and he seems to have made
no attempt to dig up his farm. His son,
James M. Eddy, runs a hotel just out
side of Providence, in Olneyville. He
owns the family farm at Westport, and
the document came into his possession.
Following its directions, he had dug at
odd times, but without success, until
this morning, when he unearthed the
old iron kettle and l,55u big doubloons.
Twelve hundred of the coins were Span
ish dollars bearing on the obverse the in
scription. “Ferd VII—Dec. Gratia 1815,”
and on the reverse, ‘Hi.span et Ind Rex
M : ?’ ?• . There were ako 850 coins
with the obverse marked, “Lad XVI D.
G. tr et Nav Rex,” and the reverse, “Sit
nomen domino Cenedictum 1787.”
.These coins have not yet been recog-
nizeri, t.nJ will be sent to some expert
philatelist for identification. Mr. Eddy
isn't through searching yet, and is confi

A DESPERATE SCHEME,
Which the Pickett Men are Using Against
CoL Candler—It Win Fall.
The Pickett men seem to be in despe
rate straits, judging from the desperate
methods which some of them are using
against Mr. Candler.
The following circular of the chairman
of the Democratic executive committee
shows up th6 scheme:
TO THE PUBLIC.
The following is the copy of a circular
that has just been issued by A. H.
Woodliffand circulated by Winfield S.
Piokrell and others:
fraud! fraud!
“Here is a sample of the frands tbe
Candler men propose perpetrating to pre
vent a fair election:
“William F. Findley, Col. Candler's
right-hand bower, remarlud on the
streeta of Gainesville on th^J4th day of
October, in the presence of John T.
Brown, A. H. Woodliff. John M. Taylor,
K. L. Boone, J. B.Wallis and others !hat
if rolling out all the whisky in Gaines
ville and voting all the negroes did not
elect Candler, we would steal the ballot
box and stuff it full of Candler tickets
and elect him anyway,
“Will free American people tolerate
such fraudulent means? Free, honest
men of the ninth Congressional district,
go to the polls and vote for Thad Pickett,
who’ favors an honest election and fair
count, and put an end to such methods
forever. Voters.”
October 26th, 1888. .
Such wholesale perversion of the truth
never before occurred in such a brief
space. 1 he following are the facts:
On the 24th of October, on the public
square, in front of Palruour & Smith’s
store, W. F. Findley came up where A.
H. Woodliff was talking to K. L. Boone,
Z. T.Castleberry, II. B/Smith and others,
when A. H. Woodliff said, turning to W.
F. Findley, “You Democrats and Cand
ler men would, to carry your point if
necessary, buy votes, bulldoze negroes,
rent all the barrooms and Dick Castle
berry's distillery from now until the
election to beat Pickett,” and said to him,
Is it not so?” Findley replied, laugh
ing, “And add to that, I wouid steal the
ballot box at night and stuff it before be
should succeed.” All tbe party laughed
neartily, as each understood the charge
that Woodliff pfeferred. was in jest or
fun, and in the same spirit Findley’s re
tort was made.
I append the affidavits of W. F. Find-
o5> some of the gentlemen to
whom he refers for proof of these asser
tions, and of others present at the time,
of the truth of the foregoing, and of the
admission of A. H. Woodliff.

davits of eight citizens ,»f Hall county,
