Copies of this paper may be fonnd on
file at the office of oar Washington cor
respondent, E. G. Siegers, 918 F. Street,
N. W., Washington, D. C.
Cleveland owes it to his own
manhood to tell the people where he
is at politically.
Hanna evidently considers himself
entirely trust-worthy, from a repub
lican point of view.
The relief fund for the stricken
city and people of Galveston, Texas,
aggregates $781,043.63.
United States troops, except a le
gation guard of 1500, have been or
dered to withdraw from Pekin.
Senator Bacon will deliver sever
al campaign speeches in northern
and eastern states, Kentucky and
Maryland.
The State and County Election.
In every Georgia county Wednes
day, October 3rd, an election for
governor, state officials, judges, so
licitors, legislators and county offi
cers was held.
The republicans didn’t have a
ticket in any county, though there
was a populist state ticket, and a
county ticket in a few counties. In
some counties the democratic vote
will not appear as large as it should,
because of the lack of opposition.
While the returns are not at hand
when we go to press, the indications
of a very large democratic majority
are satisfactory.
The majority in November for
Bryan and Stevenson ..will be much
larger.
Mbs. W. A. Hemphill, wife of the
business manager of the Atlanta
Constitution, died at their home
last Thursday.
A fair is eminently successful
when a large number of people at
tend and spend a considerable
amount of money.
Even some of the republican lead
ers admit that Bryan and Stevenson
are most likely to receive the New
York electoral vote.
Hanna “talks through his hat'
when he declares there are no trusts
in this country. He knows better,
and the people know he knows it.
Hanna, the apostle of trusts, and
advance agent of McKinley, is win
ning democratic plaudits as a cam
paign speaker. He classes well with
“Teddy, the Terrible.”
At Frankfort, Ky., last Saturday,
the trial of Jim Howard for the
murder of Gov. Goebel was conclu
ded. A verdict of guilty was ren
dered, and a sentence of death by
hanging was pronounced.
Atlanta will nominate municipal
officers next Friday by primary vote.
There are four candidates for may
or, making a lively contest for votes.
The candidates are Maj. Livingston
Miras, Frank P. Bice, I. S. Mitchell,
and Nym McCullough.
Senor Lopez, the representative in
Europe of the Filipino insurgents, is
authoritatively reported as saying
they would quit fighting at once if
Bryan is elected, feeling assured
that the right of the Filipinos to
liberty would be recognized by the
United States government.
In presenting a street fair fast
week, the city council and business
men of Macon did all they promised.
The people had plenty of opportuni
ty to see pleasant things, and to buy
articles of value, or otherwise. If
anybody suffered through humbug-
ery, no one else was to blame.
It was reported several days ago
that the Chinese Empress had issued
an edict degrading Prince Tuan, the
anti-foreign leader, and ordering
the immediate trial of the leaders of
the Boxer crusade. If this be true,
there may be hope that the Chinese
trouble will be settled through dip
lomatic channels.
Hon. C. A. Collier, ex-mayor of
Atlanta, died at his home in that
city last Friday from a pistol shot
wound accidentally inflicted. At
night he went out of his back door,
thinking he had heard a burglar on
the premises. He made a misstep
and fell down the steps. The pistol
in his hand was discharged, and a
fatal wound inflicted.
The democratic managers here are
daily growing more confident that
they will control the next House of
Representatives. In fact, they will
scarcely discuss the question any
longer, feeling that success is so cer
tain that nothing short of a cata
clysm can reverse it Their confi
dence is based upon an intimate ac
quaintance with the conditions in
all the Congressional districts. It
is virtually assured that thej will
gain two members in Kentucky, one
in Missouri, three in North Caroli
na, one in Alabama, one in Texas,
one in Iowa, possibly two in Illinois,
and the same number in Indiana.
They may lose two in Massachusetts,
one in Pennsylvania, and possibly
one each in Nebraska and Kansas.
In this estimate, Populists are dealt
with as Democrats. If the gains
here claimed are realized, it is cer
tain that the Democrats will have a
safe working majority in the House
of the Fifty-seventh Congress. Fur
ther, although not much is being
said about it, even the Republicans
admit that they probably will not
have a solid delegation from Iowa in
the next Congress.—Washington
Correspondence.
A very cunning scheme of Sena
tor Hanna’s, to prevent the drum
mers of the country from casting
their immense influence for Bry
an this fall, has been discovered.
Through his instrumentality all the
big trusts—which he says do not
exist at all—have been induced to
send letters to all drummers whose
addresses they can learn, asking
them whether they can accept a
good job "in case McKinley is elect
ed.” Mr. Hanna suggested, it is
said, that the trusts could so couch
their letters that they would bind
them to nothing, and would yet
probably induce some of the drum
mers who were thrown out of work
by trust consolidation to vote for
and support McKinley in the hope
of getting work. A Bomewhat sim
ilar plan was tried in 1896, and suc
ceeded—whether it will succeed this
year is a question.—Washington
Correspondence.
Senator Hanna has formulated
the charge that Mr. Bryan has prom
ised his cabinet places in the event
of his election. Mr. Bryan has de
nied this and the only interest that
remains in the subject concerns it
self with Mr. ^Hanna’s cheek in
charging it. Anyone might sup
pose from this that it was not Sena
tor Hanna but some other man who
promised everything four years ago,
especially in the South, where the
Republican leaders were consulted,
and where they apportioned the
Federal officers among themselves
even before McKinley was nomina
ted. Nearly everything of value in
the way of Federal offices was mort
gaged by Hanna long before he was
able to deliver the goods. Without
this, McKinley would never have
been even nominated.—Washington
Correspondence.
The democratic pictorial campaign
illustrations are decidedly superior
to those of republican-import. The
democratic argument being well-
founded and logical, the artists are
better able to produce speaking pic
tures. Nearly all the republican car
toons appear to be the effort of in
tense labor.
Senator and Congressman.
—
Among the distinguished visi
tors in Perry last Monday were U.
S. Senator A. S. Clay and Con
gressman E. B. Lewis.
Through the courtesy of Judge
Felton, the Superior court room
was made free for the discussion of
political affairs at 1:3Q K M. At
that hour Col. C. C. Duncan,
Chairman of the County Demo
cratic Executive Committie, in
troduced Senator Clay. In the
opening of his speeh Sesator Clay
captured his audience by felicita
ting the citizens of Houston upon
their intelligent appearance and
the apparent evidences of prosper
ity they presented. Of course we
all agreed with him. The burden
of his speech concerned National
politics, condeming Hannaism,
corruption in Cuba, and the use
lessness of aggression in the Phil
ippine Islands. He proved con
clusively that there’s "something
the matter with Hanna,” and the
administration supposed to be ex
ecuted by McKinley. He disejos
ed the extreme extravagance, of
the republican administration, ex
tolled the honest purpose and
the staunch integrity of Bryan,
predicting democratic success in
the national election.
The speech occupied just 45
minutes of time, true and spuare
in every measure.
Following, Congressman Lewis,
"Our Lige,” talked to his Hous
ton friends directly, telling them
of his pleasure in meeting them,
of his hopes and conviction that
their ballots would emphasize
their democratic faith, in October
and in November. He disclaimed
his ability to follow on national
lines his distinguished predeces
sor of the day, but all the same
he plainly depicted the falla
cies and puplicity of republican
ism in its policies concerning
trusts and in militarism as Shown
in the Philippine Islands. He
spoke? 30 minutes, justifying the
claim of his friends that he is a
true and trustworthy representa
tive of the third district.
Of course we do not attempt to
use the exact words of either
speaker, but merely to show the
sentiment of their exhortations,
and the hearty accord given the
gentlemen.
• They met many friends during
the several hours of their stay in
Perry, and it can be truthfully
said, Clay, and Lewis are more
popular in Houston on account of
their latest visit.
Mr. T. A. Jacobs, who has been with
Eads, Neel & Co. for the past ten years;
has associated himself with our force,
and will welcome his many friends'who '
call upon him, giving them his personal'
attention. ; ’

Stepped Into Live Cools.
“When a child I burned my foot

The striking Pennsylvania coal

there may be an agreement. Riot

Houston At The Macon Fair.
Probably more Houston’ people
attended the Macon street fair last
week than from any other county
in the state, Bibb excepted. They
were there from every section of
the county, and every day' of the
fair. They were in good spirits
and liberal in their expenditures.
There were special schedules on
the railroads. From Perry the
train left at 6 a. m. each morning
from Wednesd ay to Friday,return
ing at about 12 at night, with the
exception that the accommodation
Thursday, "when the Perry Rifles
asked for and expected a special
coach, was not equeal to the crowd
quite a number being obliged to
stand up all the way from Perry to
Macon.
Returning that night the situa
tion was somewhat better, a spec
ial extra coach having been secur
ed through the efforts of Mr. Sam
D. Rogers, who is in the telegraph
ic service of the Central, at Macon.
The Atlanta Constitution [is being
sued for slander by Alderman Bue-
tell, on account of publications con
cerning that gentleman’s official con
duct. The alderman was represented
in a cartoon as attempting to place
an additional tax burden upon the
City, contrary to right and justice.
The amount of the damage is placed
at $50,000.
