Washington, Nov. 2.—[Special.]—“I
want to toll you,” said Col. Terry, of the
treasury department, “of a little joke I
got off on Commissioner Miller ti-flay. I
went down and told him in the most se¬
rious tone of \ oice that a thing had just
happened that would causo Cleveland a
great loss of votes. The commissioner
flushed somewhat, and, with a look of
real anxiety, asked what was the mat¬
ter.
“ ‘Well,’ said I, ‘a Chinaman in In¬
dianapolis wrote to the Chinese minister
here and asked him how he should vote,
and the minister responded that he
should advise him to vote for Harrison
by all means, ns Harrison's reoord was
good on the Chinese question.’
“By this time the commissioner had
seen the point and we had a good laugh
over it."
Col. Terry, whose home Is in New
York, thinks the demoerats will carry
the state by a much larger majority than
has yet been named.
“Our people are claiming the »tate by
90,000, but they really expect 75,000.
They are not bragging at all, bnt there is
an undercurrent of absolute confidence
of the state’s going for Cleveland by a
very lurge majority.”
There was considerable electien bet¬
ting Henry at Willard's, among the bookmakers. $1,00D
Stedeker bet Dave Gideon
to $6,000 that Grant would beat Hewitt
for mayor of New York. Matt Corbitt
bet Gideon $8,000 to $1,800 the same

Blnine’t Doctored Speech.
Albany, N. Y., Nov. 2.—The Asso¬
ciated Press report of Blaine’s speech in
Albany yesterday was “doctored" last
evening to suit the afternoon news from
Washington concerning Sackville. The
Associated Press follows the sentence:
“What they are doing is trying to get
the English prime minister in London to
recall him,” with these words: “Mr.
Phelps, the American minister in Lon¬
don, as we get the news over the cable,
is dining out at Hatfield with Lord Salis¬
bury,” etc.
Between those two sentences Mr.
Blaine said, “Three and was applauded ministers in as the lv*

Harrison May go Back on Blaine.
Washington, D.C., Nov. 2.—[Special.]
Politicians who have returned here from
New York, report that there is a big
scare among the republican managers
over a story to the effect that a letter has
gotten away from the recipient, in which
it is alleged that Harrison gave assur¬
ances that if elected president he would
not ask Blaine to beoome a member of
his cabinet, it would n»t be strange if
Harrison had made such a thousand* pledge in
viaw of the fact that so many
of the late Senator Conklimf’s friends
are going back on the republican party that
rather than have an administration
would be most certainly dominated by
Conkling’s bitter enemy, if Harrison, ih
the event of his election, should have
Blaine as secretary of state. It is well
known that the general feeling that Mr.
Blaine, as the ruling spirit in the repub-
lioan councils, ha* greatly embarrassed
Harrison and his friends, and that it will

GRIFFIN. GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 3, 1888-
iie intended to register and vote for
“Mister Hallison.” It was regarded as
a joke by the registers, supervisors and
inspe ctors, until a friend of Charles ap¬
peared and declared that the Celestial
was a naturalized citizen. Charley came
from China to San Francisco in 18"7l, and
in 1-77 was naturalized through the in¬
fluence of a republican friend, and voted
in San Francisco at the election of that
year. When asked for his papers he de¬
clared that they had been taken to Mexi¬
co by others of his family, but, on his
making oath as to his citizenship, his
name was entered on the registration
books.

he knows the author of the famous
“Murchison” letter to be Chas. E.

Canada, about four years ago.
London, Nov. 2.—The Standard to-day
follows up its leader of yesterday, and
says:
“It might be proper to show our sense
of wounded dignity by tendering Mr,
Phelps his passports.”
London, Nov. 2. —The St. James
zette says to-day:
“The English should treat Secretary
Bayard's insolence with contempt."
The Times says, in a further notice of
the Sackville affair:
“If the interests of the two greatest
communities in the world were not at
stake the treatment of the Sackville in¬
cident would merely excite a passing
sensation and amusement. A more ri¬
diculous spectacle has rarely been flur¬ wit¬
nessed in any civil country than the
ried and unmannerly haste with which
America has endeavored to put a slight deal
on England before the latter could
with the matter one way or the other.
Mr. Bayard has had the satisfaction of
proving to the world that he can be as
contemptuously disregardful of the de¬
cencies of international intercourse and
the dignity of the nation he represents as
Mr. Blaine himself. It was never denied
that Lord Sackvilie's indiscretion consti¬
tuted a cause Cleveland for removing and Secretary him. Bay¬ Had
President
ard thought it necessary to adhere to the
usual practice of civilized states, they
would have waited at least to make sure
that England intended to do nothing be¬
fore beating ig with an absurd show of [
emptory mptory vehemence at the a opei open door.
The Pi all Mall Gazette says: iys: “If ‘ Secrc-
tary Bayard’s rebuke of Lord Sackville
fails to convince Irish voters that Presi¬
dent Cleveland can bo relied upon to
check John Bull as much as any other
man, we do not see what there is left for
him to do short of placing Lord Sack¬
ville under arrest and escorting him to
the frontier. How silly it all is ! How
much Americans will despise themselves
for it when the election fever is over !
Suppose Minister Phelps pseudo-American had written a
private letter to some
during the election in England, saying
that althodgh Mr. Gladstone’s party
seemed to be more in accord with
ican principles, yet lord Saulisbury
could be trusted to concede all the
needed. Does the most excited Ameri¬
can imagine that we should have taken
notice of his indiscretion ?’*
A German Editor s Criticism.
Berlin, Nov. 2.—The National
tung, referring to tho Sackville
says: “The frivolity with which
tional difficulties are treated by
factions in the United States, in
that one party may snap up a few
sand votes from the other, is
evident in the Sackville affair.”
