EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Gen. E. Bind Grubb has organ
ized a corner ©n retirement. lie
has taken himself to retirement.
The legislature adjourned 9fh,
inst. The Stale Road is to be leas
ed in June 1890 lo the highest bid
der. The session was lengthy.
The Ohio republicans carried ev
erything by a plurality vote, x
cpt tor governor. Th* democrats
elected her irovernor.
The ?v'atr company and the
milkmen of Louisville, Ivy., are
abeut to form a trust. In such a
combine as til’s there ought to be
an equal division of profits.
It has been abundantly proven
that the South American delegates
do not speak United States Span
ish. As yet, they have only their
mother tongue.
New Mexico declares she does
not want the negro colonization in
her border-:. Therefore, the emi
gration scheme of sending the ne
gro to h@r territory is likely lo be &
* tail ure.
The German vote in Ohio basso
aroused Mr. Harrison that there
are moments when he is tempted
to lay asidtf the panoply of piety,
and make some vigorous N >rlh
American remarks.
Mihone is about to explods will;
explanations. The only one the
democrats wanted they have got
in the person of McKinney for gov
ernor. Maheue may keep the byl
lance unexplained if ho wants to.
An eastern paper advises the re
publican leaders of Ohio to get to
gether. Like tomcats, the Ohio
republican leaders do not wait for
such advice. The tufts ©f hair on
the wire fence show what the re
sult has been.
The county democracy in New
v ork city, by openly combining
with republicans to defeat demo
cratic candidates, has given the
whole country a peep behind the
• scenes. We know now who knif
ed Mr. Cleveland.
Mr. Harrison says he nude no
special effort in behalf ef Mahone.
This shows how wise a republican
can be after the deluge. Harrison
would rather have seen Mahone
elected ts the downfall of the whole
state of Virginia. But now his
party forbids an honest confession.
The Journal acknowledges the
receipt of a copy of the New Yerk
Ledger, published by the Bonner
Bros, The paperis a literary make
up and contains a full line of fine
reading, stories, etc. The langu
age of the different authors are
very chaste.
The Ohio democrats, following
the example set them by the Fsr
aker party, should proceed to re
district the i late. As the republi
cans h.m m-ide die gerrymander
popular in ♦ :.o a-jy will hardly
have the in p 'donee to object to an
’ applicatbn by the democrats,

jDetrc. . -A Free Press
special from libpeming, Mich.,
says; What will probably prove lo
be a triple murder was committed
Monday night at Matchwood, mm®
eighty miles west of here. John
McDonald and Duncan Reveridge,
homesteaders, had some trouble ov
era homestead claim, Monday
night McDonald went to Beve'-
idge a cottage to talk matters over.
Mrs Beveridge and a friend were
also in the room. During tho con
versation the men. gal very excit
ed and McDonald pulled his revol
ver and shot Beveridge, wounding
him fatally. Ha then turned upon
the women and shot Mrs. Bever
idge in tho hip, after which he empt
ied the remaining chambers oi the
revolver at Air*. Beveridge’s friend,
inflicting a fatal wound. When the
crime was diseover&d a p< ssa wont in
pursuit of McDonald, w to was clortlv
captured. His captors were at first
going to lynch hrrn, but wiser counsel
prevailed and he was bound and held
until the arrival of the sheriff.
1 he Athens Fair.
The Athens Fair of last week
was a success. J.'he crowd Tuesday
and Wednesday were not as large
as Thursday. The gathering on this
day was about 1,000 —at a low esti
mation. The alliance wedding
came off at 11:00. There were three
couple—two from Banks, and one
Lorn Oglethorp. The bridal t.rou
seau looked well—made entirely
of sotfon bagging. The marriage
ceremony was performed on the
grand stand, and fronting an au
dience of about 5,000. None but
a few relatives and friends with the
miiysler, were escorted, to the stand
with the bridal party who came out
to the grounds in carriages driven
by a span of gray horses to each.
At 4 o’clock the bridal parties
were driven to the store of Julius
Cohen & Cos., where they received
a reception. The congratulations
were many. The presents were
numerous.
The racing was about an aver
age—though we noticed the trot
ting was well trained—though the
lime was not the best on record.
The baboon ascension and per
forming on the gymnasium attach
ed to the bail eon was the best we
ever saw.
The feats of the cow-boys were
wonderful in horseman and mark
man ship.
The entertainment at. the new Op
era House, under the management
of Capt- Ilaselton, was good—Lit
tle Coquette was the tide of the
play composed m four acts.
The house was crowded from gal
leries to iloor. It is thought about
TOO people were present. The en
tertainment was a rare treat fully
enjoyed by old and young.
As it was our pleasure to spend
the night with Col. Stone o*‘ the
Chronicle, and his goed family, al
ter supper, in company with our
host and Col. Christy, also one of
the proprietors _and editors of the
Chronicle, we repared to the en
tertainment, where we found amid I
the thronged hall, reserved seats!
awaiting our party. i
Capt. Hazel ton has o

[From the .Tonrnal’a Corrospoudent j
Washington. N v. 11. 1889 —Ex
Pies. Cleveland’s visit to Wb ngtou
last week to witness the Bayard-Cly
mer wedding was at a time singularly
eignificaut. He came back to Wash
ington for the fir st time since the close
of his administration with Bin party in
the first fiawb of a splendid victory.
Ills cal! upon Prcis. Harrison wag lin
eal! of a victor upon a vanquished foe,
f<>r oi course Mr. Cleveland insists up
on taking a persona! view of the result
iy lowa, Ohio sad Virginia and attri
butes ir. all to the growth of tho tariff
reform movement throughout the coun
try. Pres, Cleveland has grown uiugl:
stouter, ia fact enormously and <1 is
tres'ingly fat since last March. He
must weigh over 350 lbs. tbs wife,
on the other hand, is more winsome
than ever. The haggard, drawn look
of the society loadrr is gone. No tare
rests on her.
Another’man who takes a personal
view of the result is Corporal Tanner,
“ho was the head of tho Pension Bn
reau fur a shorter time than any bn
;e u or cabinet officer oyer reigned be
-ore. Mo states that the defeat of the
-e;.uh)ioan parity is duo to the treat,
merit h, received from the aduiinigtra
tiou. He ears in the result the hand
of Divine Power operat ng for the ov
erthrow of th-? enemies of too elect.
No more gigantic self sufficiency was
ever seen.
Among the department clerks and
r-mH.ll officials r.i republican faith the
belief that Pees. Harrison is largely to
blame for the dr feat is manifest, u
has succeeded in making hundreds of
dnitaftefu! appointments throughout
the coma try and h has withheld from
appointing 0o > ones. Postmaster
General \v ai*:-maker's disregard for
men Woo kavo doiiis tbs party good
service r-rsd appointments of men re
commended solely br religion* social
ties, is also gives as a potent cause for
the evident dissat/Slactio) among the
republicans, ivahone’s defeat id se
cretly regarded with satiVaciiou. Mi
hor.e has neither ti e respect not the
cotiideace-of the republican leaders
apart from Quay and Dudley.
Virginia is essentially a democratic
state, and the only way to carry it for
the republicans is to spend a nr.it of
money and give every man in the
state who will not work for his living
a clerkship in the departments hero
Ibis has been substantially the plan,
and only the occasional restraining in
tluesce of the civil service law has
made victory for Mahone impossible.
