is well known that the president has
had two opportunities to appoint Major
Steele to the pension bureau, and that
he would not ask him to take it at this

thority that General Raum has not ten

General Raum will probably resign as

Atlanta, Oct. 22.—There has never

It was a grand, enthusiastic Democratic

The party filed into the breakfast

the report got out is not exactly known,

This able aud conservative body con

and finally decided that they should be
allowed to get drank three times be

House concurred in this important
amendment.
But tbe Governor takes a different
view of tbe matter. In his veto ine&

was elegantly served.
Never were more eloquent speeches
delivered in Atlanta. Governor Hill
never delivered a stronger speech. He
had a subject which inspired him, and
no man ever spoke to tho subject of
“Democracy” with more strength and
eloquence than did he. His speech was
interrupted a score of times by long-
continued and enthusiastic applause,
and when he concluded every man arose
from his chair and cheered with vigor.
Senator Voorhees of Indiana, the
“Tall Sycamore of. the Wabash,” the
eloquent, the grand orator of the west,
made, a magnificent speech in response
to the Democracy of the west. He is
an orator of orators. Ho made a speech
which will never be forgotten by those

captured his audience, and when he

were so enthusiastic in their approval
of his words that fie was twice com-

Rio Grande City, Tex. Oct. 22.—The
Mexican consul here, Mr. Joel Gonzales,
requires all citizens to get a pass for the
other side, granting them only to those
he deems truly loyal. Without one the
passer will find himself in deadly peril
in Mexico. Three Mexicans were shot
at the Guardado de Firiba ranch, on the
river, nine miles below here, on the Mex
ican side. Two had just crossed from
Texas, having been working in tha vi
cinity of Victoria. The other, Juan
Basean, was from Mier, an army meat
contractor, it is said. The first two,
unconscious of the necessity for them,
crossed without consula permit, and
were at once arrested at their homes on
the bank by a cavalry picket.
General Lorenzo Garcia, on his way
from Camargo to Mier with an escort
the night they were shot, when notified
of their arrest, ordered their summary
execution, which took place in the pres
ence of tfieir pleading families. The
shots which ushered tuem into eternity
and the cries of the wives and children
for mercy were plainly heard on the
Texas side. A number of families at

tbe constitution which says, “The right

not be infringed,” and for this reason
the governor withheld his signature

Topek\, Oct. 22.—Jerry Simpson bas

different parts of the state. He said in
answer to a question abont the political

party is the only one that can raise any
enthusiasm. The Republicans and Dem
ocrats are not taking much interest in
tho campaign. ”
The Republicans, he says, advertise
their meeting beforehand, haVe brass
bands, etc., and then can only got two
or three hundred people out to attend
them. He was greatly surprised at tnis
too, for the "lying papers” had so dis
torted the facts that he had expected to
