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.

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 rising bosoms swell the other way fully as rapidly. republicanism, The “campaign and negro” has is certainly taken a of fair one city in possession our once hordes. His majestic feet may he seen daily on our thoroughfares, and his joy¬ ous effluvium fills the city’s air with the arid atmosphere of the land of Ham and his brother Ethiop. The Tribune said yesterday that this was a "low campaign refuted.” charge ably and consistently Has it been ably and consistently re¬ futed '! Yesterday I made a tour of the Eastside. in fact, I went all over that portion of Gotham that would be likely to harbor Mr. Quay's Philadelphian imports, and I came back con¬ vinced that Mr. Reid has either been hoaxed or has prevarication, deliberately prevaricated. is is A campaign it true, said to he only half a prevarication, The better hut in this instance it is more. class of New Yorkers have neither time or inclination to look at the matter, and •there might he twenty thousand import¬ ed negroes on Thompson street waiting for for a chance to glut the knowledge. polls Mr. It Harrison without 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 be done? Can the democracy win the 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 at large that has always vacillated and been noteworthy because of its unrelia¬ bility. In the above few premises I have taken the ground that New York is the key¬ stone. the pivotal state. If this is so. the v ote of New York city must be ana¬ lyzed, That it will go hv an increased majority democratic on the national, who doubts. I will go farther than that, and say that the city will give Cleve¬ land and Hill such an overwhelmning majority that the ranting, jealous, obscure pur chaseable inhabitants of the 'counties will have no show of defeating them. friend, Mr. On the other hand, my .Brice, tell me, and hacks it up by facts and figures, that the outlook in the other states is such that New York can be sur¬ rendered to the enemy. Republican apprehension with regard ‘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¬ opinion to been good, safe, honest presi¬ land has a the right to dent and has fairly office. won a Cohtinuance in Harrisons The dissatisfaction pronounced over in Cali¬ nomination is very fornia beeause Harrison voted every time while in congress for the unre¬ stricted immigration of the Chinese. That is an offense which no California workingman forgives; and no astern la¬ borer overlooks any effort, on the part 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 an able man, in an unfortunate situation as the man second to Blaine; hut his mis¬ fortune is enlarged by the fact that ho is by his nature, law business, and us to his totally education without and a man sympathy majority of with the the men who make up a voters of this country. verifies As to Connecticut, every report hut the fact that it will be carried by that the democracy. the republicans It is on this field forth their efforts, are are putting greatest while osten¬ sibly bestowing them upon a more west¬ ern state This, again, is one of Mr. Quay's favorite schemes. But the citi¬ zens of the nut-meg state, fortunately, 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 appearance of Judge Allen Greenherry Thurman, and the agitation; of the tariff naturally gave the republican pro¬ tectionists the first advantages, because the matter of tariff reform has hereto¬ fore been talked only on one side. Work¬ ingmen especially have been frightened half to death over the bugaboo of free trade—a thing the as Angel impossible Gabriel, as the desirable reap¬ pearance of as it might be if it were possible. Tariff talk has evolved this fact to the most stupid tion brings understanding—excessive the protec¬ who benefit to employer, never divides his gains, and no protec¬ tion to the employee, who is more under the rule of capital than he ever was be¬ fore, with who the has smaller his wages living in than compari¬ son cost of ever before, who works more hours for smal¬ ler money than ever before, and who is obliged dependent to strike capital for his rights or become owned as on as if that him body and soul. The New York Herald, only a quasi democratic organ, and not inclined to concede much, after giving a half col¬ umn of figures, says: leading “Assuming parties that is pretty the condition much tlie of the same as it was in 1884, with the exception of the changes indicated above, will he about what it was four years ago, al¬ though there is every indication that it ocratic will be majority larger, the of state 3,500. will An have impartial a dem¬ observer would say that that would be the lowest majority Cleveland will have in the state, and that there is every prob¬ ability that the majority vviil be consid¬ erably much larger.” New Jersey. So for Michigan is indeed a very close state. in It was and regarded as debatable the election ground 1884, the result of sus¬ tained the declaration made by demo¬ crats early in October however, that the it was a doubtful state. Now, most careful and conservative democrats, men who would go no futthor in 1BB1 than to say they hoped to win, are declaring with confidence that the small republi¬ can plurality of 1884 will be wiped out, and that there will be a larger plurality Blaine. for Cleveland than there was for The campaign is being carried on in a cominonsense manner, with a noticeable absence of hubbub. 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 official information regarding the change of front of over 10,0'M) voters. This change is very marked in many counties of the state, where old-time republican leaders have not only come over to the democratic side, hut are advocating Air. Cleveland's election. Men like Owen Lovejoy, of Princeton; ex-State Senator L. I). Whiting, of Tiskilma; John C. White, of Effingham: Prof. Baltwood, of Evanston; Win. H. Pronirie, of Tay¬ lorsville, and C. E. Cleveland, of Ab¬ ingdon, who were red-hot repub¬ 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¬ licans, but who are supporting Mr. Cleve¬ land. Mr. Brice showed me a letter from Chairman Campbell, of the democratic state central committee, in which he is sure of 10,000 majority declares in the the committee city of Chicago. He have not been indulging position in any boasting, but are now in a to come out and claim the state. This was on the second day for registration, and about 45.000 votes were added to the list in Chicago.

THE LUDICROUS SIDE OF THE CASE THUS FAR The niootlhimmU u Failure—a Newspaper Reporter Find* one of the Dead Woman'* I.imbM in a Cellar Queer Superstition, London. Oct. 2 * 2 .— The Whitechapel murders keep London busy. Scotland Yard is hard at work hunting in its own peculiarly fruitless way Newspaper men are writing—racking their brains each for some new formula to express the fact that nothing has happened. London’s millions of inhabitants, work¬ ed up as they have never been before, keep on patiently buying millions and millions of special editions with nothing in them; and mixed up with the rest and perfectly safe is the interesting hu¬ man molecule who has excited the hor¬ ror and interest of all his them fellows by de¬ stroying half a dozen of in pecu¬ liarly ideas inhuman fashion. The wildest 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¬ cially warned urged to make unusual efforts, and, of tho fate that will over¬ take him on whose beat a murdered woman is found, every dark corner and alley will hold one or two detectives. Others will be eavesdropping on the pal¬ lets of every lopging-house, so that the murderer, no matter how good his in¬ tentions. may I* excused fur postponing his further crime or moving to some new neighborhood.

The Rev. l ather Mandalari, of St. Peters Roman Catholic church, was just pass¬ ing the home when the sister struck the ground. With the assistance of some passers-by, he had the unfortunate sister removed into the home. She was then in a dying condition, and was uncon¬ scious. The priest administered the last rites of the church, and a few minutes minutes afterward the sister expired. The dead nun's maiden name was Lucy Lawlor. She was born in Dublin. Last summer she was stricken down bv an attack of pneumonia. A few weeks ago it was discovered that she began to act queerly, and it was feared that she would have a relapse. Her suffering af¬ fected the brain, and while in a moment of temporary insanity she jumped from the window and ended her life. Col. Pulnifer*a Funeral.

London, Oct. 22 —[Special.]—The spe¬ cial judicial commission to try the charges of the Times against Mr. Parnell and other Irish members resumed its session this morning. The court room was crowded, and many distinguished persons were present. Mr. Parnell ap¬ peared in good health and spirits. Sir Richard Webster, attoyney general, opening the case for the Times and the government, said tho Times representa¬ tives were not the parties to prove the truth of the charges, and it was absurd to declare that when tho Times made tho charges it had legal proof of the same.
