Gov. St. John, of Kansas, is the
presidential nominee of the Prohi
bition parly. He and Gov. Bntler
oogtit to combine their forces so
as to inakc a showing.
The committee to notify Gov.
Cleveland of Ills nomination is ex
pected to perform that duty next
week, and his letter of acceptance
may be looked for the first or sec
ond week in August.
Hon. John M. Forbes, of Boston,
who usually contributes $10,000 to
the Republican Presidential cam
paign fund, refuses to support
lllalne and announces his purpose
to support Cleveland.
Secretary Teller wants the pro-
emplion law repealed. lie thinks
too many frauds are committed un
der it. About 000,000 pre-emption
claims are now pending involving
about 75,000,000 acres of lar.d. It
is believed that entries covering
many millions of acres are fraudu
lent.
Considerable interest attaches to
t lie position of the Hon. Iloscoe
Conkllng on the presidential ques
tion. The Utica Press, in his own
home, and owned and edited by his
personal friends, and which is sup
posed to represcntMr. Conkling’s
views, declares its intention to sup
port the Pemocratio ticket.
THE CHANCES FOHNUVKMIIEII.
While the political prophets arc
figuring out how the electoral vote
is going to be cast in November,
the Charleston News and Courier
also delves in facts nud figures on
the subject. It shows that “in
1880 llio popular vote was ns
follows: UarOeld, republican, 4,-
454,416; Hancock, democrat, 4,-
444,952; Weaver, greenback, 308,-
678;repubiican plurality over demo
cratic vote, 9,464. Among the
closo stales that venr, California
went democratic by 78; Connecti
cut went republican by 2,656; Indi
ana went republican by 6,642; New
Jersey west democratic by 2,010;
New York went republican by 21,-
033.
“In 1882 these states all went
democratic by the following pin
ralitics: California, 23,519; Con]
necticut, 4,161; Indiana, 10,416;
New Jersey, 2,113; New York,
191,854. Kansas, Massachusetts
and Michigan also went democrat,
ic in 1882, and Michigan also went
democratic on a small vote in 1883.
Now York and Connecticut relum
ed to the republican column in
1883, but New Jersey roiiiniucd
democratic.
“In the present house of repre
sentatives the democrats have a
majority of seventy-three, and a
majority in the d<legations of fif
teen stales, and one delegation
(that of Florida) Is equally divid
ed. In 1882, when this congress
was oloctcd, only eight states gavo
republican majorities, and the
popular majority against tha
republican parly was over 600,-
000. The republicans who ex-
lied to carry the countiy this
year with a ticket ngaiust which
there has been a prompt revolt ol
unprecedented dimensions, assume
that there Is to be a complete reac
tion from tbo vote of 1882. The
new apportionment, on which the
election will be counted this year
kelps the democrats, because it
increases the relative power of the
south, giving it 153 out ol 401
votes, in place of 138 out of 369.
Tlie chances, Judging from past
elections, seem strongly iu favor of
Cleveland's success; and should
the election happen to lie thrown
into the house of representatives
Hie heavy democratic majority in
that body will be sure to settle the
contest in the right way.”

- We invite everybody and the public gen
erally to call at our shop and examine our
immense stock of First-Class Finished Sinole
and Double Seat Buggies and One Horse
Wagons, of all styles anti sizes. All of which
arc of our own manufucture, and will be sold
as cheap as it is possible to sell such work in
any market. In reference to our Single and
Double Seat Dexter Buggies, we will say we
were the first to intioduce them in this coun
try, and have from the beginning up to the
present time constantly improved them, and
we believe we now have them perfect. We
keep on hand all the while finished from 15 to
It being Lee county’s turn to
name the candidate for Senator
from the district composed of Lee,
Dougherty and Worth counties,
Mr. Henry L. Long was named at
the convention held in Leesburg
last Thursday. Mr. Lung will
make an excellent representative
from that district, lining a gentle
man of fine culture and strict in
tegrity.
The “fcOod will” of the Cutbbcrt
Appeal has been transferee! to the
Enterprise of that place. Mr. Saw-
tell, publisher of the Appeal, goes
to Chattanooga, having purchas
ed a half interest in the Daily
Democrat of that city. We arc
sorry to lose him, for he is a whole-
souled man, a good printer and
editor, and we wish him success in
new location.
Hendricks says that Tammany
will support the Democratic ticket.
It has been staunchly Democratic
for a hundred years, he says, and i
is too old now to bo cutting poiiti- 25 of these Buggies, with first-class Harness to
cul capers. I 00 1
We are pleased with the nomina
tion of Mr. W. C. Gill as Repre
sentative from Lee county. He is
a man of line practical sense and
will make a reliable representative.
