Grifflnl* the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro gressive town in Georgia. Tliis Is no hyper bollca! description, as the record of the last five years will show. During that time It has built and put into most successful operation a $100,000 cotton fsotory and is now building another with nearly twiee the capital . It has pnt up a la ge iron and brass foundry, a fertiliser fac- ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a sash and blind factory, a broom factory opened np the finest granite quarry in the United State", and has many other enter¬ prises in outemplatiou. It hah secured another abroad ninety miles long, and while ocateu on the greatest system in the South, the Ceutral, has secured connection with Us important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia. It has just secured direct inde- pendeat connection with Chattanooga and the W< st, and has the President of a fourth railroad residing her# and working to its ultimate completion. With ltj 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 aearly every State iu the Union, until it is now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬ chards and vineyards. It is the home of the grape and its wiue making capacity has donbled every year. It has successfully inaugurated a system of public schools, with * seven years curriculum, second to none. This is part of the record 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. Griffin is the county seat of Spaiding county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with a healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150 (set above sea level.

St. Louis, Oct. 29.—The Republic has received the- following dispatches from the prominent editors of the country ex¬ pressing their opinions regarding the coming election in the doubtful states: The New York Staatz Zeitung. New York. (Oswald Ottendorfer): “I feel con¬ fident that the four doubtful states. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and In¬ diana, will give in the coming presiden¬ tial election an increased democratic ma¬ jority in comparison with the vote given by the same states four years ago, and that the western states, without hardly any exception, will show a considerable decrease in the republican majorities.” Brooklyn Eagle (dera.): “Cleveland and Thurman will carry New York state by over 10,000 majority; New Jersey by over 3,O’ K>, and Connecticut by over 1,000, Indiana by over 6,000 and California and Michigan by safe majorities.'* Rochester Chronicle (rep.): “Harrison’s majority in this state, outside of New York and Kings county, will bp at least 80,0i'0. The wildest estimates of the democratic majorities in tnose counties do not exceed 68,000. We certainly re¬ gard Harrison as safe for 12,000 net ma¬ jority in the state.” Robert P. Porter, of the New York Press, estimates a net majority lie in the state for Harrison of 20,000. thinks Connecticut is republican, also New Jer¬ sey, and hopes for West Virginia. Chester S. Lord, New York Sun: “I think that the election in New York state will be very close, but that the chances favor Harrison's carrying it by about 7,000 plurality. Connecticut acts as plurality. though New it would give a republican close, with Jersey, the democratic, Indi¬ ana chances in favor of the democrats.” E. L.

Syracuse, New York, says: “Sanguine politicians in this city estimates that Cleveland and Hill's ma¬ jority in this state will be at least 25,000 and some place it even higher. It is also the belief here that not only New York, but New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, California and there Michigan will go demo¬ cratic, and are plenty of men here ready to stake money on such belief, but they find very few takers." Andrew McLean, of the Brooklyn Cit¬ izen, says: “My opinion is that Cleve¬ land will carry the state of New York by a plurality of over 30.000." S. A. Hubbard, of the Hartford Cou- rant (rep), says: “Connecticut will be carried for Harrison. The republicans will carry the legislature, and Morgan G. Bulkley will be the next governor, probably by the popular vote: if not, then bv provides the legislative act as our consti¬ tution in case a candidate fails of a majority over all others.” The New London Telegraph (dem.), says: -‘Summing up the situation, it looks as if Connecticut, upon a full vote, would be sure democratic on the national issue. The democratic state officers, how¬ ever, mav vet have hard work pulling through.” W. G. Osborn, editor of the New Ha¬ ven Register (dem.), says: “Connecticut, I think, is sure for Cleveland by a safe majority. It is not so sure about the state ticket.

W. Seymour, of the Chicago will Her¬ ald, says: “The democrats carry Indiana. Harrison is weaker now than he was in 1876, and he failed then. Illi¬ nois and Michigan will be close.” William Penn Nixon, of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, says: “The flow-of the tide is favorable to the republican party, and Harrison would be absolutely assured of election in November were it not for fear of fraud and corruption in New York and Indiana. Illinois is absolutely safe.” H. A. Steel, of the Newark News (ind.), says: “New Jersey is not one of the doubtful states fer its electoral vote will go to Cleveland and Thurman.

FRIENDB or THE MURDERED MAN HIGHLY EXCITED Incidents of the Close of a Great Case— Kddleman Advised by His Defenders to Leave the City —Mis Wife In Team. Atlanta, Oct. 29. — [Special. J —The jury in the famous Eddleman murder case has pronounced the defendant “Not Guilty,” in the face of all the teatimony to the contrary. There is high excitement all over the whole city, and the friends of the dead Mr. Gresham talk wildly of lynching the released prisoner. Many men have been approached, It is said, to aid in ven¬ geance, and nothing but the verdict is gossipped upon the street corners. At 9 o'clock this morning Mr. Eddle¬ man went up stairs and took a seat in the court room. Col. Arnold, Col. Hulsey, Col. Cox, Judge Dorsey and Mr. Mayson, his at¬ torneys, seemed more nervous than their client, and paced back and forth, first in the hall, then in the ante-room and back to the court room, their excited feelings preventing them, it seemed, from keep¬ ing in one place more than a few min¬ utes at a time. Court opened at 9 o'clock, Judge Mar¬ shall Clarke being on the bench. The work of selecting a new jury for this week’s business was begun and kept up for an hour. In the meantime Solicitor Hill came into court, looking as well as usual. He was, however, very hoarse from his great effort of Saturday. The jury evidently had not agreed up¬ on a verdict, about or if at least they hail said nothing it they had. “Is the prisoner iu court?” asked the' judge. sir,” replied Sheriff “Ye fes, Green. “Where are his outside/’ attorneys?” “They are just “Bring them in, and also bring in Mr. Hill.” In a moment these gentlemen were in their places. “The jury have announced that they are ready to come in, gentlemen. Are you ready for the verdict ?” asked the judge. “We are ready, sir.” “Bring in the jury. Mr. Sheriff.” The door of the jury room walked was opened and slowly the twelve mop out and filled the places they have been oc¬ cupying all the week. A silence fell upon the crowded court¬ room, a silence deep and painful. Each looked at the other and felt an unusual motion in the region about the heart. You could even hear the ticking of the w-atch in the pocket of the next man. Mr. Eddleman's face was painful to look upon. He sat with his head thrown slightly backward, as pale as death, with his hands resting upon his lap. His eyes were fixed upon the solicitor and he seemed blind to everything about him, except the solicitor, who turned to the “Shall judge and said: I receive the verdict?” “Yes, sir,” was the judge's reply. The paper was handed to Mr. Hill by Mr. Frank Bliley, who had been chosen foreman of the jury. Mrs. Eddleman sat seemingly greatly excited by her husband’s side, while Mr. Wallace Eddleman, the sou, sat with his hands resting upon his knees and his eyes fixed upon Mr. Hill, who held his father's fate in his hand. Mr. Hill glanced at the indictment and then, without raising his head, read: “We, the jury, find the prisoner not guilty.” As quick as a flash Mr. Eddleman threw his arm around his wife’s neck, and a sounding kiss was heard through¬ out the court room. They both sat down after they had kissed, as friends quickly crowded as they had arisen, and then around Mr. Eddleman and contratulated him upon this happy termination of the trial. The attorneys w-ere also the recipients of congratulations upon this legal vic¬ tory in the face of such overwhelming odds. “Order in court,” sounded the voice of the sheriff, and then Mr. Eddleman, ac¬ companied by passed his wife, of who the linked her arm in his, out courtroom and into tne street a free man once again. He buttoned his overcoat closely around his neck and limped off down Pryor street, his wife holding to his left arm and his son walking on nis right. A large crowd gathered on the corner and watched this trio as they passed away from the court house to the home to which the twelve jurors saw fit to re¬ store the man. Eddleman, it is said, has been advised by his attorneys to leave town at once, of in order to escape the consequences serious trouble. Judge Thurman (’au Register.

Mr. Phelps and Lord Salisbury had a long consulta-. tion. Mr. Phelps enlarged upon the ne¬ cessity of prompt action on the part of the British government in order to re¬ pair the evil. Mr. Phelps made a special point that by treating entitled Murchison as a British sub-' ject that he stated to in advice, his letter despite the fact that he was a naturalized citizen of the United States, Lord Sackville had disregarded and violated the understanding of Sep-, teruber, 1871, when Fish, then secretary of state, obtained from the English gov¬ ernment recognition of the American doctrine of naturalization.

The appearance of truth was given to the story, as republicans talked about it. At Chicago, after Harrison’s nomination, and when the bloom was on the nose and the wine was $500,000 on tap, for Depew was put down to raise the campaign; but sober second thought reduced the sum considerably, would and it was even feared that the Hoosiers get nothing, as Depew went to Europe Harrison’s and apparently took no interest in candidacy.
