IT LOOKS LIKE Ell VAN.
Those who Imva kept up with the j
cvoutH of tho campaign which will be j
finally terminated at the polls on
Tuesday next—the moat remarkable
conflict in nallonnl polities, perhaps,
that the American poople have ever
vtitnessed—cannot fnil to be 1m-
prcHHod liy the growing enthusiasm
lor tlit) Democratic-candidate, nor re
sist tiio eonvictlou that he has gained
immensely in popular favor within
the past ton pays—especially iu New
York and Illinois. His magnificent
lent of thirty speeches In a single day
in Now York last week proves flint tie
is not loss resourceful i" plijr!.»! ••o-
durance than in argument and orato
ry, and, whatever the result may be,
lie will lie regarded hereafter dh one of
the greatest of living Americans. He
spoken to larger crowds than
were ever before nddressod by a pub
lic speuker in this country, and been
accorded a respectful hearing wher
ever Jie lias appeared. He lias pushed
the fight against trusts and militarism
so vigorously tlmt the Republicans
have from the slarl been on the do-
feunivo, and it is tills sort of a fight that
generally wins. Four yearH ago,
when oven Democratic loaders were
divided on national issues, Mr.
llryuu was forced to take the defen
sive in trying to prove the tenability
of Ills position; hut in tills campaign
tho conditions are exactly reversed.
Tho Republican campaign apellers
have made strenuous effort to force
the silvor question to the front; but
the shadow oi Hu minis ru, like n red
wet blanket, lias sottled upon the
founts of their oratory and mildewed
the (low of eloquence as fast ns It
generated. Even the 'vitriolic and
pugnacious Teddy lias become flab
bergasted more than once when
brought, face to face with the cold
fact that tho audiences which ho
sought to entertain by his abuse of
Mr. Bryan, and Ids laudation of Han
na and McKinley, were not with him.
Indeed, at. a late appointment in the
State of which lie Is Governor, some
of ills auditors wore so lrroverom «s
to assail him with defunct eggs No
such Indignity lias boon offered
Mr. Bryan, in his oivn or any otlior
Stnte, for the reason that he lias not
found It necessary to abuse bin oppo
nents in order to arouse a little parti
san enthusiasm.
Will Mr. llryun bo ulected? It looks
that way now, Of course, be is
contending against, groat odds—the
world, the flesh, and the devil, so to
speak—but be bus developed such
masterful qualities since this cam
paign opened that we shall be pre
pared ou tho night of the election to
accept without surprise the an-
nouueemout of an overwhelming vic
tory for the bravo and brainy Nebras
kan.

CHANGE IN OFFICE OF STAVE
TREASURER.
The formal retirement of Hon, W.
J. Speer from the offlee of State
Treasurer, at the expiration of Ids
term a few days ago, removes from
the public service oue of the most
popular and capable officials who has
ever been at tho head of a depart
ment in the State House. Uniformly
courteous and accommodating, and .
yet vigilant at ail times iu earing for j
the interests of the State, he has en- ;
joyed the confidence and esteem of
everyone, and the good wishes of his
friends everywhere will follow him
into retirement,
Hon. Robt. E. Park, of Bibb, is a '
fit selection for the suecessorsiiip. A I
man of high character and the strict-
est buainess integrity, no guarantee is
needed that the State's strong-box i
will be safely guarded during his ad
ministration, and that the duties of
the office will be faithfully and intel
ligently performed. Georgia is for
tunate in having such men at the head
of affairs, and no assurance is needed
that the new incumbent will give a
good account of himself.
Capt. O. T. Furlow, who has filled
the place of Assistant Treasurer so
capably and acceptably during the
past four vesrs, will be retained in
this position, and it is gratifying to
his hosts of friends throughout the
State to know that tie will. A fine
accountant, and a Diosi agreeaqle
gentleman in his official intercourse
with itie public, he will aid much in
popularizing the new administration.
Had Capt. Park huuted the State over
lie could not have made a better sa-
lecticn tor the office of assistant.
Mr. S. G. Turner, the efficient State
Bank Examiner under the old admin
istration, will he continued in c-flice
also. He lias made an excellent re
cord for efficiency in this position—a
position requiriug tact and judgment
as well as expertuess—and it was iu
recognition of these admirable quali
fications that the new Htale Treasurer
was induced to reappoint him. It is
a good appointment, from any
point of view.
No change occurred in any other
department.
VOTE FOR ADAMSON.
Congressman Adamson, responding
to a call (inn the chairman of the
National Democratic Campaign Com
mittee, inis been making speeches in
Delaware the past ten days, and wo
do not need to be told that ho is mak
ing the for fly wherever ho speaks.
Judge Adamson’s enforced absence
from his district on a mission of such
importance to the party should he an
incentive to greater activity on tho
part of Ids friends at home, anfl we
hope every Democrat in the county
will turn out next Tuesday and vole
for him. The Fourth district never
had a better Congressman, nor oue
that worked harder or more faithful
ly, in nonsou and outof seasou, inserv
ing the interests of tho people. There
is a large registered vote Iu Coweta,
and it should be remembered that the
colored brother never fails to vote in
Presidential elections. Be on hand
bright and early Tuesday morning,
and slay on the ground until the polls
closu. Coweta cannot afford to lose
any of her prestige as the banner
Democratic county of the district.

Washington, Oct. 29.—President
McKinley to-day issued a proclama

as a day of thanksgiving.
In the proclamation lie gives these
reasons for thanksgiving:
“It has pleased the Almighty God to

of religion and charity have every

through its extent has been blessed

An Unfortunate Affair, But Much
Exaggerated.
Atlanta Constitution.
On the special train conveying the j
members of the General Assembly to i
Valdosta, which left Atlanta at 8:30 ,
o’clock Wednesday evening over the
Central, an argument bet ween Repre- I
seutative P. D. Hardin, of Wilkes. :
and Seuator W. D. Hamrick, of tte '
Thirty-seventh district, terminated in
a scuffle, in which the former was
slightly wounded. Tne occurrence
took place at Forsyth, while the spe
cial train was delayed at a siding
waiting for a freight to pass, hut u
was over so quick that it attracted
very little attention; so little, in fact,
that many of the passengers of the
train knew nothing of it until Inter.
Representative Hardin preferred to
leave the special ut Forsyth instead
of going on with the members of the
Oeneral Assembly to Valdosta, and
lapt night lie returned to Atlanta, and
was seen in-the iubby of the Kirubal',
wlmre ho circulated with the usuai
crowd collected there.
He expressed great snrprise that
tho affair at Forsyth had been treated
in a sensational manner, Hud laughed
g )ud liutuiedly at the reports given
out to tiio effect that he was serious-
hurt. •
‘Really there is nothing to say
about the mutter,” declared Mr. Har
din. “Senator Hamrick and I are the
Lest of friends. I regret the whole
matter exceedingly, and I know I
speak for the Senator also when I say
that.”
The report published in an after
noon paver to the effect that Senator
R. H. Hurdaway, of the Thirty-sixth,
was the antagonist ot Representative
Hardin, was the result of an error, ts
Senator Hardaway was not only not
connected with the affair, but was not
on the train. The friondB of Sen
ator Hardaway were very much an
noyed that such a report should have
gotten out, knowing at once that it
was incorrect.
Senator R. H. Hardaway, of New-
r.an, is one of the best known citizens
of Coweta county and the Thirty-sixth
Senatorial district. Pie is serving his
first term in the State Senate, and al
though that body has been in session
hut one week, be has already obtained
recognition as a conservative,
thoughtful and progressive legislator.
After reaching the city last night
Representative H-ardin hastened to
express his personal regret that Sen
ator ilnrdaway had been mentioned
ns connected with the occurrence.
The members of the assembly who
returned from Valdo.-ka last night all
expressed their surprise and regret
that the affair which took place at
Forsyth had been given such promi
nence and such sensational mention.
Inslend of being seriously cut in
ten different places, Representative
Hardin, as lie appoared in the Kim
ball lobby last night, displayed only a
small piece of court plaster under his
right eye, his step being as firm and
vigorous as ever. So slight was Rep
resentative Hardin’s injury that none
of his friends on the train stopped
over with him at Forsyth. The party
continued their journey to V'aldosta,
where tlioy spefft the day visiting the
State Fair. A inrge number ot the
members returned to Atlanta last
night highly delighted witli the trip,
and singing the praises of the people
of Valdosta.
A CARD FROM THK NEWS.
“Editor Constitution; Injustice to
Seuator Hardaway, of Coweta coun
ty, please give space to the following
statement, showing that au error was
made in connecting lii« name with
the cutting affray on the legislative
special.
“By an unfortunate mistake in a
correspondent’s telegram to The Dally
News, Senator Hardaway was stated
to he tb-> assailant of Mr. Hardin,
who was cut and stabbed on tho train.
“When the telegram arrived at
2:30 o’clock the correspondent was
called up by long-distance telephone
and asked if he waH sure that he had
given correctly the name of the man
who cut. Dr. Hardin. He said that he
was, and having taken this precau
tion, the telegraph editor allowed the
dispatch to go into the paper.
“ft, few minutes after the Ijo-
gan to run on the city edition of’ The
Nows, Mr. James E. Brown tele
phoned that Senator Hardaway was
not on the train, and a mistake had
been made. The press was stopped
at once, nnd the name cut off the
plates aud all the carriers who could
he reached were called hack.
“We regret exceedingly that the
mistake occurred, especially as we
are informed that Senator Hardaway
is one of the most e'.-Litantm) citizens
of the State, not given to brawls, but
uoted for good deeds.
