The Fight Transferred le
I aud Couneclleut.
New York, October 27 The
democratic committee bas received
information to day that indicates a
total change of front in the repub
lican campaign.
It is asserted that the republi
cans have determined to
PRACTICALLY ABANDON NEW YORK
and concentrate everything on In
diana and Connecticut. It is im
possible for the democrats to win
without carrying one of tlieae two
states. If tbey ca.-ry Indiana they
will not need Conncctiout, but if
they carry New York and New
Jersey and lose Indiana, they will
need Conneticut to give them the
three lacking voles.
The tide against Blaine in New
York is rising so high that it van
only lie stemmed by cnoraotii ex
penditure nnd by concentrating
every worker here. In Indiana
and Connecticut the mnrginiaslim,
the vote much smaller and tho re
publican disaffection leas. By with
drawing quietlv from the unequal
fight in New York and closing in
on Indiana and Connecticut, the re
publicans hope to check the demo
crats, even though they carry New
York and New Jersey.
This diapoaition has awakened
sudden interest in the two states to

lit Connecticut the defection for
Blaine is considerable and is grow
ing daily. In Waterbury three
clergymen nnd the American, the
leading newspaper, have deserted
Blaine and 270 republicans have
signed an anti-BUinc list. -In
Litchfield, Antonia, Seymour, New
Milford, Plainville, Farmington
tlteie are anti-Blaine republican
clubs ranging from 25 to 80 names.
It is estimated that there are 3.000
republicans who voted for Garfield
who will bolt Blaine. Butler and
St. John will have about 3,000
voles each, from which the two
great parties will suffer eqitnlly.
You may look for New York to
go for Cleveland by a very heavy
majority. New Jersey may lie
counted reasonably sure. The
critical lighting will be done in
Indiana and Connecticut. Those
slates arc squarely unti-BIaine.
And the republicans will strain
every nerve to buy or bulldoze
them from their faith.

Bv reference to the call of the

letter to the Dublin 'l’imca, a sen
try-post at the government offices
in St. Jnmcs’ Park was diicontin
ucd after some twenty years ol
needless vigilance. Some time
about 1884 a military commission
sat in a back building abutting on
the park. In order to mark the
solemnity of tbe occasion they
clapped u member of the rank and
ll|ii upon the entrance, which was
thus held ut the point of the hay-
onet from 10 till 4 o'clock. The
commission accomplished its work,
which was, no doubt, to draw up a
report, which was relegated, as
such documents arc, to the pigeon
holes of the department moving in
Lite matter. Anyway, the com
mission disappeared, but the sen
try remained.

Wasihnoton, Oot. 23.—Tbe gen
eral newspaper reader wbo, in tbe
several days of each month readt
the Treasury announcement that
the public debt waa reduced du
ring the preceding month by so
many million dollars, doe* not, per
haps, pauae to reflect that this
steady decrease of national obliga
tions means a steady and perma
nent decline in fixed expenditure*,
and that it indicates constant
growth in national resources and
prosperity. Nor ia tha general
reader perhaps aware of tbe magni
tude of t hu national debt and ot the
remarkable swiftness with which it
is being paid.
In August, 1865, when the high
est figures were reached, the total
debt of the United State* wa*
$2,757,531,571, tbe annual interest
upon which was nearly $161,000,000
Sinco August, 1865,a period of 19
years, tbe debt has been reduced
neatly one-half, and the annual
interest charge is now a few more
thousands more than one-third of
what it once wa*. On June 80 last
the total debt wa* $1.438 542.695,
and tbe interest actually paid for
tbe year ending with that date wa*
$54,686,378.
It is only when these figure* are
arranged so as to show wbat was
done monthly or daily in tbi* di
rection that the average reader can
be made to fully comprehend and
appreciate the magnitude of the
aggregate sum paid-. Since August,
1865, there has been paid, down to
June 30, 1884, $1,317,888,676,
which is equal to $69,862,657 each
year for tbe nineteen years. Re
ducing these figures to months
shows an average monthly reduc
tion of $5,780,213, and counting 80
days to the month, the reduotion
for every day during tbe nineteen
years was $192-674, which is equal
to $8,028 for every hour, and $134
lor every minute, wbioh would be
$2 38 for every swing of a clock’s
pendulum for tbe entire nineteen
years.
An expert counter in the Treas
ury Department who can count
4,000 new notes sn honr for seven
hours a day is considered unusual
ly dexterous. If three fail average
counters had been detailed nine
teen years ago to oonnt out fl
notes ‘ with which to pay the
amount of national debt that bas
been discharged in that period,
tbey would have been required to
work continuoaily day and night
to meet the demands of tbe Treas
ury to pay national creditors for
bonds surrendered! It is not with*
in the power of human endurance
for one man to count in nineteen
years in United States notes of
the denomination of $5 tbe sum of
the public debt discharged since
August, 1865.

Bartow, Qa., Oct. 97.—The
steam saw mill* of W. F. Bailey fit
Co., five miles west of hers, wars
burned Sunday, with ail their
machinery, lumber and several of
tho houses of their operatives. The
loss is estimated at $16,000. There
ia no insurance. It being Sunday
few people were at tbe mill, and
beroro assistance could be procured
the flames bad done their work.
Tbe woods are atill burning and
much more damage may ensue.
It is s wretched custom that
forces candidates to sacrifice a
large share of self respect, to (ay
nothing of their money, to secure
the privilege of serving the peo
ple. Ordinarily we would hsot
at the idea of paying a man to al
low us to plow or pick cotton for
him, and yet tbe candidate fot even
the most trivial office it expected
to spend money right and left, and
to associate with character* he
would not otherwise recognize, and
all for tbe purpose of working for
the people at wages fixed by law.
All good eitizena ought to unite
and determine to wlpo out this
baneful custom.—Albany Medium.
