Griffin, Ga.
QrifilD is tli« liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
flye years will show.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a $ 100,000 cotton
factory aud is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pntup a
hnfe iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
y b i ted State*, and has many other enter¬
prises iu ontemplatiou. It has secured
another allroad niaety miles long, and while
ooatea on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
aid Georgia. It has just secured direct inde-
pendeat connection with Chattanooga and
the W* st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
Its five | white and three colored
ohurches, it is now building a $ 10,000 new
Presbyterian ohuroh. It has increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at¬
tracted around its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
■ow surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyards. It is the home of the
grape and its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
a tsven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of tha record of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages

Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
t healthy, fertile and rolling oountry, 1160
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 8,000 and
7,000 people, and they Hre all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
weleomestrangers and anxious to secure de.
lirsble settlers, who will not be any lees wel

the town. There Is about only one thing we
aetd badly just now, and that is a big hotel.

The idea that people can be enriced by

corruption in the expenditures of the

upon the necessaries of life; our oppo¬
nents seek to increase them.
We say, give to the masses of the peo-
‘ good clothing, cheap blan-
tets, cheap tools and cheap lumber. The
republicans, by the platform, and their
leaders in the senate by their proposed
bill, say increase taxes on clothing and
blankets, and theieby increase their cost,
maintain a high duty on the toois of the
farmer and mechanic, and upon the lum¬
ber which they need for the construction
of the modest dwellings, shops and barns,
and thereby prevmt their obtaining all
these necessaries at reasonable prices.
Can any sensible man doubt as to
where he should stand in this contro¬
versy! Can any well informed man be
deceived by the false pretense that a sys¬
tem so unreasonable and unjust is for
the benefit of the laboring competition men?
Much is said about the of
American laborers with the pauper labor
of Europe: but does not every man who
looks around him see and know that the
immense majority of laborers in America
are not engaged in what are called the
protected industries? And as to those
who are employed in such industries, is
it not undeniable that the duties pro¬
posed bv the democratic measure called
the Mills bill, far exceed the difference
between American and European admitted wages,
and that therefore, if it were
that our working men can be protected labor,
by tariffs against protected cheaper and

It seems to me that plainly if the presented, policy of the all
democratic party is

the cost of living less, and at the same
time increase the share of the laboring
man in the benefits of national prosperi¬
ty and growth. Allen G. Thurman.

Torches Versus Canes.
New Haven, Conn., Oct. 15. —The
young men’s republican club had a hot
time to-day, and discussed various mat
ters for about four hours. Many of them
had decided to have a grand parade to¬
morrow night, and to that end had in¬
vited about twenty-five out of town
clubs to join them. It was finally de¬
cided to reeind the order for the parade,
and notify the ther guests not to come.
Hence parade of 8.000 torches will
not come off. The cause of the trouble
is said to be that some wanted to parade
with canes and others were in favor of
torches. the Consequently, meeting broke as they with could the
not agree up

Indianapolis, Ind.,Oct. 15.—The Boo¬
ster republican camp is shaken to its
foundation by the strained relations be
tween Mr. Blaine, Mr Harrison and
Gen. Hovey. It is well known in Indiana,
as it is in New York, that Mr. Blaine
was not particularly, sincere in his efforts
to aid Mr. Harrison's election. It is no¬
torious here that Mr. Blaine and Gen.
Hovey, the republican candidate for gov¬
ernor of Indiana, do not speak as they
pass by. The strained relations were
emphasized yesterday by the singular
appearance of Mr. Blaine speaking from
the rear of Gen. Alger's private car and
Gen. Hovey speaking at the same stations
from the rear of an ordinary coach.
Republicans are disgusted at this out¬
come of a personal and spite Mr. which Blaine's cannot
lie buried now, at re¬
fusal mented to meet Gen. extraordinary Hovey. It that was while com¬
Blaine upon as speaking Tomlinson
Mr. was at

at the New Dennison, scarcely a block
away. The conclusion that Indiana
democrats reach is that Mr. Blaine is de¬
termined to knife the republican ticket.
He stabbed it in New He York by Indiana liis in¬
dorsement of trusts. came to
against the express wishes of Mr. Harri¬
son. He did not dare stab Mr. Harrison
in the latter's own state, but by snubbing
Gen. Hovey and aiding in his defeat lie
might indirectly assist in defeating the
national ticket.
In connection with Mr. Blaine's com¬
ing there was one very curious feature,
and it has leaked out that it was, in fact,
an ingenious central political play. cancelled Last week all
the state committee
of his Indiana dates but two. On the
same afternoon the republican made paper an¬
nounced tliis fact and demonstra¬
tions of great joy thereat. As soon as
the paper was out the state central com¬
mittee telegraphed orders to the various
points for which he had been hilled, di¬
recting that protests against the cancel¬
lation should be sent in.
On the following announced day the this republican fact. It

pears that the whole affair was tlie re¬
sult of Mr. Blaine’s directions, and was
for the purpose of affecting the election
in New York. The old Conkling follow¬
ing there generally are reported against to be Harrison, standing and out
very
the most certain way to reach them was
by an opponent breach between the can¬
didate and Blaine. The move was there¬
fore made, but is a surface manifesta¬
tion. In reality, Harrison and Blaine
are on the best of terms, and, next to
John C. New, there is no one who will
have more influence with the candidate
than the statesman from Maine. The
statement that Mr. Blaine would he sec-
retary of state if Mr. Harrison were
elected, which has been circulated so
widely, has never met with a shadow of
denial from any one who could lie con¬
sidered authorized to speak for Mr. Har¬
rison.
The fight here seems to lie drifting
more and more toward Harrison’s atti¬
tude on the labor question. There is no
doubt that the fight of organized labor
against him the republican candidate, is other hurt¬
ing more at this lime than all
attacks. The labor leaders are in dead
earnest, and the literature which they
are circulating, especially the fac similes
of his signature to the muster-roll of the
militia company which ho joined during
the great railroad strike of 1877, the title

EDITOR SULLIVAN.
Tlie Convalescent Champion to Kilter Jour*
nail-tie Bank* Shortly.
Boston, Mass., Oct. 15. —[Special.]—
It is too true that John L. Sullivan lias
decided to leave the prize ring and enter
th(> more refined precincts of journalism.
The local sports and friends of tho
doughty champion were slow to credit
the rumor when having it first this appeared, morning but
Mr. Sullivan au¬
thenticated it himself, there was nothing
left them. They have heaped upon his
head taunts, remonstrances, and even
threats, in order to induce him to recon¬
sider, hut in vain. In an interview,
Pete McCoy said:
“I feel very much shocked at John's
action. I don't think it fair in him to
leave the boys, after they have stuck
to him like pals through thick and
thin. Now I ain’t saying that you news¬
paper but fellows aint all right, in your way;
and of don’t course stand you much aint show of the ‘perfesh,’ tlie
in ring
now, do you?”
“What kind of an editor will John
make?” "Well, I shouldn’t like to refuse
the big fellow and an interview if he wanted
it real had, I think he could do up a
sparring match in pretty good shape,
hut its the inside work that’s going to
lay him out. You’ll see that heavy edi¬
torials won’t agree with John; he’ll be
bold in a month, and then his hands are
too clumsy to hold dictate a pen right. But 1
suppose he can 'em, just as well
as not.”
Councilman Billy Mahoney, who is an
ex-prize fighter, was next approached.
“Yes, yer kin bet yer life I heard dat
our John wuz goin’ to go into der news¬
paper profesh, 1 an’ it? I tink What! Bully’s a d—d
fool. Do mean yer ain’t
about to print dis, gaff be yer? If dais der
case, just tone my up a bit, won’t
yer?” The assured Mr.
further reporter remarks he Mahoney might that
any make
would be submitted to his ocular ap¬
proval. At the end of ten minutes the
following was shown him as the sub¬
stance of the interview with him:
“Speaking from a professional stand¬
prehension point 1 can of scarcely John’s, bring about a com¬
or rather Mr. Sul¬
livan’s, latest move. He told the boys
last slimmer that he would let the Illus¬
trated News go to—er—bankruptcy be¬
fore he would edit the sheet for them.
I think he would make a very indifferent
editor, but 1 understand some of his
friends think otherwise. Personally, all
ties in common with Mr. John Sullivan
and mysellf are severed. He has shown a
disposition above of late to esteem himself
the profession, but I firmly believe
he has made a grave error.”
“It reads O. K., fust rate,” said the
beamii g councilman-sport, “and I tink
you’d better Sullv’s not bein’ print wot 1 give you
about daft. Have some¬
thin'?”
The reporter thanked him and went to
hunt up the principal himself.
The great champion “who,” as his
friends love to assert,has for “twelve long
years met every manner of “cove” in fhe

the valescent Highlands almost thoroughly con¬
from his recent illness. The
modern Hpartacus had one massive neth¬
er limb on tlie mantel piece of his apart¬
ment, and the other not ungracefully
curled up in his lap. The butt of an
odorous cigar was between his bearded
lips, in spite of the instructions of the
doctor that he must positively abstain
from the use of tobacco in any form at
present. Sullivan is hardly recogniza¬
ble because of his two months' growth
of beard, which he says he will continue
to wear. “I ain't goin’ to say nothin’
at all.” Why? “Because you news¬
