Griffin, Ga.
Grillin i» the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro
gr**sive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
five years will show.
During that time it has built aud put into
most successful operation a 1100,000 cotton
factory and i» now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
large iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac-
or y, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
U/.ited State", and has many other enter¬
prises in ontemplation. It has secured
another allroad ninety miles long, and while
ocateu on the greatest system iu the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
and Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the W< st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
pa ultimate completion. With
Its five white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. 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
now surrounded on uearly 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 seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the reoord of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
GrilHn is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated iu west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile aud rolling country, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
woleome strangers aud anxious to secure de
sirablc settlers, who will not be any less wel¬
come if they bring money to help build up
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention

New York, Oct. 21.—[Special.]—An¬
other political week has beeii brought to
a close, and although fresh from the san¬
guine assurances of both Mr. Brice and
two prominent republican committee¬
men, I am unable to observe any change
which can possibly be identified in the
close states.
But a most vital election is almost at
hand, and the public should know the
existing status of the national canvass
from the mouth of Rome herself.
There are some who attribute to the
party of the administration a lack of fire
and aggressiveness, which should char¬
acterize so notable a campaign. If this
is so it is not wanting in the opposition.
In Indiana Mr. Blaine, the hero of Lit¬
tle Rock and other places has poured
forth his ambrosial eloqyience upon the
heads of the inoffensive multitude on
several memorable occasions, and as if
this were not enough of itself, in one
town two hundred pockets were picked,
sixteen houses were burned and two
men were shot.
The state is a huge theatre of war, and
nearly three thousand political orators
scarcely find time to eat or sleep, or do
anything, in truth, but talk.
In New York, even if the democracy
were inclined to burst into exhiliarating
effusiveness, and with a green skyrocket
in one hand and a couple of red and yel¬
low pine torches in the other, go out
upon the glorious rampage, there is a
sight and ——- that would make their

is, therefore, one thing for a journal to
profess ignorance of the fact, aud an¬
other to go out of their way and
lie about it. On a rough estimate,
there are twenty-five hundred colored
republican votars in the limits of three
wards who have never been seen in the
city before. Although this is in strict
violation of the law, and is sufficient of
itself to change so close a vote as the
parties of New York city will poll, noth of
ing lias been done. This is because a
judicious application, of campaign which I soap
from the Morton faction, am
also convinced is inexhaustible.
New York is going close. Everything closer
points to that. It is going this
year than it did in 1884, if that is possi-
sible. The purchasable vote is Albany,
Columbia and adjoining counties is
startlingly large, and the republicans What are
sparing no pains to secure it. can

battle without New York? Instead of
the Hill ticket gaining votes it is posi¬
tively losing them, in cities like Auburn
and Poughkeepsie It is 'the state

been noteworthy because of its unrelia¬
bility. In the above few premises I have taken

‘so Indiana cannot be hidden. A tre¬
mendous effort is necessary, it is admit¬
ted, to carry that state—and a large
(amount of funds. The labor element is
very largely opposed to Harrison because
of his connection, as a lawyer with cor¬
porations, because of his declaration
during the great strikes of a few years
ago, that he “would put down the strikes
if he had to wade in blood to his finger
tii>s," because of Mr. Blaine’s statement
in behalf of trusts, because of Harrison’s
objection to Blaine's conspicuity, because
of the differences between Gen. Hovey
and Blaine, the and effect because that of Grover the popular Cleve¬

That is an offense which no California
workingman forgives; and no astern la¬

of a Harrison, or any other believer in
trusts, or any representative of an un¬
fair monopoly, to put his work on a level
with the peasant labor of Europe on this
side of the Atlantic. Gen. Harrison is

Quay's favorite schemes. But the citi¬

cannot be bought openly, and so the
managers here instructed the heavy
manufacturers in the art of bull-dozing
their employes. There came from every
quarter of the state complaints from this
source, and the press or Connecticut is
loud in its indignant condemnation. Mr.
Brice, however, says he has no fear of
Connecticut being carried by the repub¬
licans.
Now comes New Jersey. Before the

tariff naturally gave the republican pro¬

the matter of tariff reform has hereto¬

The campaign is being carried on in a

In Illinois the democrats have been
making a “still hunt’’ and have
discovered such a radical change of
front as to justify them, the leaders
say, in declaring that the repub¬
lican majority of four years ago will be
entirely wiped out. Judge Goodrich,
chairman of the democratic executive
committee, says that the committee has

licans four years ago. are now
stumping tlie state for Cleveland and
Thurman. The vast majority of the
German-American voters are out for
tariff reform, and thousands of Irishmen
who supported Blaine in 1884 are for Mr.
Cleveland this year. In Chicago and
vicinity the change lias been a very
marked one. On every hand men can
be found who have been life-long repub¬

ror and interest of all his them fellows by de¬
stroying half a dozen of in pecu¬

about him exist and are encour¬
aged. He is painted as an aristocrat,
rolling in luxury, from which he occa¬
sionally hand emerges surfeited to dip his
in blood for the sake of pleasant
excitement; or, as a disease-eaten wretch,
creeping from slum to kill the hags he
meets with in obedience to an impulse
of blind insanity. Whatever he may he,
man, woman, or gorilla, or however he
may butcher, live, for he is certainly a cunning detec¬
tives know nothing scores of police about and him
more than
that he is strong, silent, skillful and
quick; that he has a very sharp knife,
and that his appearance is calculated to
inspire a certain confidence in the lowest
class of women. These facts were made
plain on Sunday morning, three weeks
ago, when the bodies of the two women
last killed were found cut to pieces with¬
in a few blocks of each other.
The comic side which the murder
scare supplied presents, by the as do bloodhound most big things, is
element.
The attempt to get dogs by the keenness of
their scent to make up for detectives'
dullness has been very entertaining. The
policemen hounds charged with afraid handling the
are as much of them as
any murderer could be, and it is not sur¬
prising that the dogs should have de¬
cided a few days ago to run away and
enjoy themselves free from the prodding
truncheons of timid constables. While
the big bloodhounds and the policemen
have been practicing and doing nothing,
however, a very small dog from Tilbury anil
has been gaining glory for himself
the little local reporter who owns
him. The reporter, confident in his dog,
took him to the cellar in Whitechapel,
where the trunk of the murdered wo¬
man had been found, and together they
soon unearthed one of the woman’s miss¬
ing legs. The police, very jealous of this
test, succeeded after much trouble in
getting one of their bloodhounds in the
dark cellar, but there he vvould only lie
down and howl, so he had to lie dragged
out again, a failure. But though, they
too, may have failed as detectives, there
is reason to believe that the bloodhounds
have succeeded in frightening the crim¬
inal. which is more than the Scot¬
land yard men can boast of. The wild¬
est fairy tales are daily told of what
blood-hounds can do in the way of track¬
ing a person, and the murderer, particu¬
larly if he is an ignorant man, though
ready to defy an ariuv of policemen,
might tremble at the picture of a blood¬
hound cantering slowly, hut surely, be¬
hind him on a race to the gallows.
Between now and to-morrow morning
the murderer must do some fresh bloody
deed to keep up his reputation, for iho
three weeks interval of rest which he
has hitherto allowed himself between
the murders, has just expired. White¬
chapel this morning swarms with police
of every class. Every man will be spe¬

The Rev. l ather Mandalari, of St. Peters

passers-by, he had the unfortunate sister

minutes afterward the sister expired.
The dead nun's maiden name was Lucy

Mrs. Blaine Won’t Sue for n Divorce.
New York, Oct. Oct. 22. — Your cor¬
respondent called at the New York ho¬
tel to-night, where Mrs. James G. Blaine,
jr., is stopping as the guest of her pa¬
rents, to inquire about the correctness of
the report of trouble between herself and
husband. A relative of Mrs. Blaine
stated to the reporter that while there
were some inaccuracies in the article
published yesterday, it was in the main
correct. The young wife has retained
Col. Robt. G. Ingorsoll, Gen Roger A.
Pryor and Wm. Putnam, of Maine, as
attorneys. She has not decided what le¬
gal course she does will pursue, but it is un¬
derstood she not desire a divorce.
As a Catholic, it would be in antagonism
to her religion to sue for a divorce. It
was by advice of legal counsel that Mrs.
Blaine, jr.. went back to Augusta to see
her husband. It is said Mrs. Blaine will
sue Mr. and Mrs. James G. Blaine, sr.,
for band's the alleged alienation of her hus¬
affections.

leagues.
