dered over to the rive gauche to size up
the affair, aud to Elicit what general in
formation he could in regard to the Con
gressional election contest. His visit
brought forth the one pre-eminent fact
that the present fight over the Eighteenth
Illinois district's seat in Congress has
never fer years been as hot as it is this
fall, and partisan feeling has never reach
ed its present height. Nbt only are the
different committee! straining themselves
to their utmost ou behalf of their respec
tive candidates, but the nominees
themselves are down among the boys
working like beavers. Every factory, ev-
eryfoiling mill, every place where men
are congregated in the district is visited
by Needles and Morrison, and every effort
made to influence tne voters one way or
another. Eyeryfcindof argument known
In rhetoric, from those drawn from the
princip'es of-political economy down to

Atlanta, October 21.—The little town of
Kington, on the Western and Atlantic

victim of a destructive fire this morning.
The two hotels of the town, the Johnson
House and the Couch House, and thre

His renomination has been a stereotyped
affair, and bis election almost a foregone
conclusion until this year, when a man of
a new type is put up against him, and
one who has the power to concentrate all
the forces of the opposition. Huch a man
is Mr. Thomas Neelies. If Mr. Morrisou
thinks that bis election this year will be
accomplished with the same ease qs it has
in the past, he has been deceived as to the
true feeling of the people, and the popu
larity of hta present rival undereitimated
to him. You ask the ordinary voter of
the district why he votes for Morrison,
and he will go on to tell you what a d—d
good fellow Bill is, how ne makes friends
with everybody, how he corns* to all the
balls and public meetings and how thor
oughly he is one of the boy*. But this
year there is a man opposed to him who
has all these qualifications, too, whose
stronghold in his social popularity and
persoual magnetism, and who has come
1 adopt the same tactics that have proved
successful to Mr. Morrison. This fact
forces the enemy to took around for new
methods and to find some issue which, in
addition to his personal charms, rnay meet
with favor in the eyes of his constituents.
It is in exactly thii necessity that can be
recognized the cause of Mr. Morrison’a
probable defeat next raontb. When he
turns to the most prominent question of
the canvass be finds that he is on the
wrong side of it, and is obliged to spend a
good deal of protesting against being call
ed a free-trader. This ia where Mr.
Needles has the advantage. When he
goes among the factory and mill bands
he tells them that the prosperity of the
country and their own thriving condition
are due to the protective policy now in
foroe, and that Mr. Morrison wanted to
change it all by reducing the tarifl and
admitting foreign competition. This di
rect appeal to their own interests is more
werful than All the arguments that can
used to show the truth of the free
trade theory, and consequently they are
inclined to vote for a roan who pledges
tick by the protective policy.
jng-mdl hands who, marched
iu Baturday night’s torchlight procession
have always uu to this year voted the
Democratic ticket and Supported Mr.
Morrison, but now they are dlsaati-fied
with bis free trade tendencies and have
decided to work for Needles.
A Crave Crisis-
New York Star.
We have always contended that the kind
of advocacy Indulged in by the New York
Times, Herald and Post has been harmful
rather than helpful to Governor Cleveland.
And now, at the gravest crisis of the cam
paign, these journals show their real ani
mus by declaring, almost in so many
words, that the first duty of the Democra
cy is, not the election cf Cleveland, but the
defeat of Tammany.
The leaders of the County Democracy
and of two or three little guerilla factions,
professedly devoted to the Democratic na
tional ticket, are scouring the city in quest
of some Democrat endowed withmoro
money than brains or patriotism, to head
a second Democratic ticket and, if possi
ble. electa Republican mayor over Hugh
J. Grant. Noting such tactics here on the
heels of the Ohio contest, it is not surpris
ing that the Troy Standard should exclaim:
“In every campaign since the war the Re
publicans have been given abundant evi
dence that the party opposed to them is
nothing more formidable than any organi
zation of political idiots. Give the Dem
ocracy rope enough and it will commit
suicide when its prospects are the bright
est.”
It cannot truthfully be said that Demo
cratic prospects for gaining the Presidency
are superlatively bright just now. Wheth
er the party shall commit suicide or shall
make a bold rally for soccers, depends
mainly upon the aciion to be taken in this
city. There is a strong, clean, popular
local Democratic ticket in the field. The
record and character oi every man upon D
will bear the sharpest scrutiny. Let all
Democrats indorse it without haggling or
hesitation, and the tidings of union and
harmony will go forth to inspire the work-
era elsewhere, giving them confidence and
courage.
On the other hand, let an opposition
Democratic ticket be pat np here and the
old cry ol dissensions and betrayal wiil go
out to paraivze hope not only in New
York, but in New Jersey, Indiana and
Connecticut. Every man of intelligence
knows that a moral certainty of carrying
New York is the only thing that can in
fuse enthusiasm into the other doubtful
States we have mentioned. Let there be
a factional fight in the metropolis and it
will be extremely doubtful whether
the Democracy carry a solitary Northern
State.
It has been repeatedly said, and unjust
ly, that Tammany's first thought is for the
local offices. Tammany, however, is not
■wui uim.c.1 Ulail jr , uuwclDIi 19 UUb
in the attitude of a kicker or malcontent
this time. It ia the Connty Democracy,
the organization so favored by the Govern,
or, that pronoses to make all the trohble
over local offices, regardless of the discs
trons effect upon Cleveland’s fortunes.
Doubtless it will be charged that these
remarks of the Star are obviously calcula
ted to bring aii Demucrata here Into line
for the suDport of the ticket headed by
Hngh J. Grant. Perhaps that may be, too;
but the Stor has simply stated facts, and
the Star has rot gone far as ray in its
reckonings throughout the campaign thua
far.

Ferdinand Ward still occupies his old

Phil Klernan, “and is thankful for any

Reports About His Business Transac
tions in Savannah.
Savannah News.
The disappearance of Mr. H. Fraser
Grant and hla reputed crooked business
transactions were the general topic of con
versation yesterday. Humors of all kinds
were afloat, and the extent of the losses of
those who had trusted to bis integrity was
placed at fijnres ranging from *39,000 up
to as high as *00.000 Yesterday being
Sunday, it was dlfflcnlt, In fact almost lm
possible, to discover the full particulars
of Grant's shortcomings. He had con
ducted a large cotton, naval stores and
rice business in this city for a number of
vears past nnder tbv name of If. F. Grant
& t.'o. This Arm was dissolved a month
or so ago by the withdrawal of Mr. E. E.
Cheatham, since which time the business
has been carried on in the name ol H. F.
Grant. Grant was also a rice planter, and
last year was president if the Savannah
board of tra»le, and was conildered a mer
chant of the highest commercial integrity.
The report, therefore, that be had gone
wrong waa like a thunderbolt oat of an
unclouded sky. He was probably one ol
the last men in the city who would have
been suspected of doing anything open to
ihe slightest suspicion of irregularity.
From the many rumors aflost, tne fol
lowing appears to be about the facts in
the case: On Saturday. Mr. C. h. West, a
well known attorney, called on the officers
of the tjavannah Bank and Trust Comps-

EMLEN FRANKLIN'S RESCUE.
Spending Two Nights Alone at Sea on a
Sinking Yacht.
New York Sun.
Mr. Ernest Hastings, of Bath, L. I., the
owner of the sloop yacht Bonita, invited
Eli6t Smith and Emlen Franklin, of this
city, last week to join him in a three-
weeks'duck-shooting cruise along the Jer
sey coast. On Tuesday morning at 10
clock the sportsmen started for Barnegat
Inlet. Franklin, who is only 18 years
old, and who studied navigation on the
choolshlp St. Mary’s before be.became a
clerk in'his grandfather’s store in William
street, took the helm. He carried the
cht ten miles an hour under reefed main
sail and jib until Sandy Hook was reached,
and then let the sans out a reef to increase
the speed and make the inlet early in the
•veninK. Towards the close'of the/lay the
wind blew so stiffly that the young hels-
man couldn't manage things with the ease
had hoped to, and finally, before
little party of duck shooters fully real
ized their situation, the yacht was driven
clean out of her course, and was tumbling
in the heavy white-caps that broke with a
roar on the Barnegat shore. Young
Franklin saw thedanger and flung himself
against the helm to turn the yact away
from the shore. He bore too heavily on
the rudder, and the next instant the yacht
jibed, and everything movable, Including
the yawl boat, the water cask, the two
sportsmen, and Franklin himself, were
tumbled indiscriminately into the Atlan
tic
Directly afterward the yacht righted and
started out to sea of its own accord on a
starboard tack. It was jnst&p. m., and
the water was as cold as ice and the breeze
blowing like a steam whistle. Hastings
and Smith struck out with shireiing vigor,
and, after an uncomfortable struggle
with the waves, canght on to the over
turned } awl and water keg. After being
unmercifully usedi by the angry breakers
for half an hour, they were finally washed
ashore with a thump by a big wave. It
was near life saving station 16 at Barnegat,
and they were hospita )Iy treated by bluff
Capt. Allen Allgore. The whole life saving
crew made a search along the beach for
young Franklin’s body. They came back
-* dawn unsuccessful.
At 7 o’clock on Thursday morning the
lookout of the steamship Rio Grande,
bound for Galveston, narfrtil nl Mm
Bonita bnffeting the waves. A bronzed
young man, who was wearily working a
in with one hand, waved a white
dkerchief wildly with the other
and hoarsely shouted for help.
The rail of tbe yacht at this
time was awash. A boat put quickly
•ut off to it. As it bumped against
be sun wales, Franklin, in dry clothes,
with two handsome fowdng pieces under
one arm and a valise unoer-the other.
; umped into it, dropped his luggage, seized
he c jxswain’s horny hand and wrung it
for about two minutes.
“You’ve saved my life,” he said,
thank you, and I’ll not forget it.”
Three hours later the Rio Grande sighted
the Sau Marcos of the Mallory line, bound
for New York city. Franklin bade the
Rio Grande folks good-bye heartily, slid
into the longboat, and was transferred to
the in-bound steamship. Quartermaster
Howard Fay stood at the ladder as Frank
lin clambered up, again laden with bis two
fowling pieces and his valise. He started
back In amazement Then he rushed for
ward and seized Franklin’s hand.
“Why, Len, I’m glad to see you,” he
cried; “we haven’t reen each other since
we were on the 8L Mary’a together.”
Franklin told tbe story of the adventure.
“I caught a rope attached to the sail as
we went overboard, and clambered
aboajd when the yacht righted. I
tried to beach the yacht, but the
idea wouldn’t work in the squall. I
waa awept further out to sea every minute,
and soon the yacht began to fill with water
from the waves that broke over her*
and it kept me steadily at the pumps pret

and nights to keej> things from going un

Interview with a Diver.
“One of the most remarkable sights
that I Observed,” remarked the diver,
“were the coral beds. From a boat they

San Francbco Chronicle.
There was once a young man on the
Brooklyn police force, by pressure of cir
cumstances. who had a taste for painting.
How he got on the police force I don't
know. The police force U very exclusive.
He got a holiday once, and he went into
the country on a sketching tour. He
boarded at a quiet old farm house, where
it had been a late season for civilization
and the arts. The old farmer didn’t know
hiuch about pictures. One day the artist
had retired into a dark corner of the barn
to sketch an effect through the open door.
He heard a conversation oi tside.
“Good mornin’. Fanner Jones.”
“Good mornin’. Farmer Bascomb.”
“Hear you’ve got a boarder.”
“Yaaa, we’ve got a boarder.”
“What kind of a chap is he?”
“Oh, I guess he don’t ’moubt to much.
He’s an artist. He goes around drawin’
things.”
“Good mornin’.”
And Farmer Bascomb drove on.
Next day he was in the same place, and
he beard tbe old farmer outside calling to
somebody at a distance.
“Ho, Farmer Bascomb, ho! You asked
me yesterday 'bout my boarder. He turns
oqk to be somebody after all. He was a
policeman in Brooklyn, I bear.”

Among Democrats bore the county

ing tbe Ttmmtny local ticket. The ap-
f irehenslon now moat troubling Democrats
s that them will be a factional fight In
New York city, which will open a floe op
portunity to trade votes on the national
ticket for support for local nominees. It
ia said by a Democrat who was at the na
tional headquarters Saturday that tbe na
tional committee here taken the msb
ter In hand and are endeavoring to per
suade the County Demo-racy to swal
low tbe Tammany ticket for the lake
of Cleveland. He says Tammany haa alg-
nili-d a willingness to retire fevers! of Its
candidate* for county men: but Kelly in
sists on retaining bis man for mayor. Mr.
Hubert O. Thompson, the boss of the
oounty organisation, It laid to be the chief
obstacle to a union. There is a strong
sentiment In favor of nnlon, bat Thomp
son opposes it. Cleveland waa the choice
of the county faction for President, and
it wool.', It Is supposed, mainly control
Federal patronage in New York city In
the event of bis election. Tammany, In
anticipation of this proposes to get con
trol -- tho local pateoneww if nnnihlc. On
every hand Democrats can be heard ex
pressing fear of the retail la New York If
a factional strlfa over local spoilt takes
place at the polls.
