There are three colored men in
the preient Georgia Legislature.
That rabbit sent to Mr. Cleve
land from an Alabama cemetery,
did the work.
We Imaginfcthat Thanksgiving
day will be more heartily observed
in the South this year than usual.
The legislature got through with
the work of g judges and
solicitors with commendable ra
pidity.
Cotton has advanced several
points since the election of Cleve
land, and the stock market has an
upward tendency.
“Sunset” Cox gave a good ac
count of himself on Tuesday. Two
years ago his majority in his dis
trict was 10,963, which was quite
large enough to make him feel
secure agaiast any counting out.
Now ho goes back to Congress
with a majority of 14,185.
It seems a settled belief that cx-
Seaator McDonald, of Indiana,
will bo attorney-general. Mr.
Hendricks will be vice-president,
Mr. Voorhees has secured his re-
election to the senate, and of the
trio of big Indiana democrats Mr.
McDonald is the only one not pro
vlded for.
The New York Journalist an
nounces that Mr. Bennett has sold
one-third of the Herald to J. W.
Mackay at a price which fixed its
valuation at $5,250,000. This sale,
according to the same authority
was necessary in order to enable
Mr. Bennett to pay his assessments
on tho new cable stock: but the
statement lacks confirmation.
Although Governor Cleveland
did not carry his homo county,
Eric, he reduced Garfield’s plurali
ty of 3,300 to 1,488 for Blaine. In
Buifalo he gained in most of the
wards on the democratic vote of
1880, and bis heaviost gains were in
the best Republican wards. Ho
lost in some Democratic wards
where local candidates were traded
against tho electoral ticket.
The assertion made during the
last session of Cong i css that the
tariff reformers would be repudi
ated at the polls has not boon veri
fied. Of tho forty-one Democrats
who voted against considering the
Morrison bill only eighteen bavo
been ro-clceted', while nearly one
hundred of tho ono hundred and
fifty-one who voted for the motion
to consider the bill have been re
turned. Straws sometimes show
which way the wind blows.
The Democratic party has great
luok with its bachelors. Tho Com
mercial Advertiser says: “if Mr.
Cleveland shall prove to be elected,
it will bo ono of the curiosities of
Presidential history that the Dem
ocrats went out of powor with the
first bachelor ever olected Presi
dent, and come back to power with
the second. In tho quarter of a
century that lies between they
have but once corao near to suc
cess, and that was with a bachelor
—Mr. Tilden—for their candidate.”
Blaine’s magnetic tour did not
profit him much in Indiana. His
route through that Stale is marked
by Democratic gaincs. Blaine
made protection speeches and Gov.
Hendricks took the aggressive in
favor of tariff reform. Blaine made
a great effort at South Bend and
the Democratic gains over 1880
were nearly 100. At Fort Wayne
he lost 1,500 of Garfield’s votes, at
Indianapolis 1,900, and his losses
at other places where he spoko
were heavy.
Wo are glad to see that Jim
Guerry has been re-elected Solici
tor General of the Patanla circuit.

Washington, Nor. 12.—In tbs
next bouse tuere will be 112 dem
ocrats, who are members of the
present house. Of this number 66
voted for Mr. Carlisle, 26 for Mr.
Itindttll and 15 for Mr. Cox. Two
were absent and the candidates
did not vote. Assuming that the
democrats have elected 185 mem
bers, a majority in caueus would
be ninety-three. It Mr. Carlisle’s
friends continue to support him
he is Bure also of seven auditional
votes from Kentucky, only four
members having been re-elected in
a delegation of eleven; two from
Texas, three from Georgia, one
from North Carolina, six from
Missouri, and more than enough
from other delegations to make
him certain of a majority in the
nominating caucus. The vote in
caucus last Decen.bcr for Mr. Car
lisle was 106; Mr. ltandall 52, and
Mr. Cox, 30.
During the past summer 2,000
Mormons have crosed over into
Arizona, so that now we have
about, 5,000 of these outlaws in the
Territory. They have all taken up
government land. They locate in
“colonics,” and, in many wards
and precincts, hold the balance of
power and elect their Justices of
the Peace. These are but the ad
vance of the hordes that are to fol
low.

Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi
als bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith
on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on
it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given
for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there
was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods
over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your
power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods
are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe
Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we
were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Hoys, Chil
