QUAY SHOWING
SIGNS OF PANIC
THINGS ARE NOT GOING HIS WAY
IN PENNSYLVANIA JUST AT
THIS TIME.
CHANCE FOR DEMOCRATS
Independent Element is Aroused aifd
. It Is Possible That Democratic
. Nominee Will Win.
Philadelphia, October 29.—W'th
election day but one week off the pi os
pects in Pennsylvania are that the
result will be very close. Until re
cently it seemed to lie a certainty
that ex-Judge Samuel V. Penny pack
er, the republican candidate lor gov
ernor. would be elected Jjv a majority
somewhat, below that usually rolled
up by the Quay machine, but still big
enough to keep the result from being
in doubt at the hour of closing the
polls. But within the last ten days
there has come a change. The groat
independent element in the stu'c has
begun to assert itself, a.t l its \> hoie
sentiment seems to be in favor of
Robert E. Pattison, the democratic
candidate for the office of governor,
which he has already held.
The Quay machine is evidently bad
ly scared. Quay himself, who, it is
said, once boasted that he could make
his coachman governor of Pennsylva
nia, is signs of panic. Emerging Irom
his habitual silence, he has gone on
the stump and is bitterrly denying
the accusations which the deuio'iaL
have idled upon his head, llis'per
sonally selected candidate for jovoi a
or, his counsin. Judge Penny.lacker,
has proved a failure as a drawing
card, and is ridiculed by republic ins
and democrats alike wherever he ap
pears on the stump.
The Independent Element.
it was the independent element
winch t/Wcie elected Pattison govern
or, and it seems likely to do so again.
The whole state, except Philadelphia
shows evidence® of making a bait to
the democratic ticket, and the repub
lican leaders concede that Pattison
will carry Pittsburg and will have a
majority outside of Philadelphia. But
in Philadelphia Pattison earn get no
majority. Tne "machine” in this city
is a marvellous thing. The Tam
many machine is like a child sebide
Hie giant manufacturer of votes to
order. According to conservative es
timates Pattison s majority outside of
Philadelphia will be in the neighbor
hood of 50,00. In Philadelphia the re
publicans claim to be able to roll up
a majority of 120,000, but this claim
may oe 'axon site a fain of salt.
The republicans may \:k able to clear
7: ,000 over Pat'isoa in the city, but
tiie probabilities arc lkat then nia
jorty wll not excc td 60 000 if it
r/a'ces l.at.
The Phtiaceipuiu 1 less, always
strongly republican, but untif the
opening of tho present campaign, in
dependent of tne Quay element, has
repeatedly made tiie charge t aat
tin-re are 80,000 fraudulent votes cast
in Philadelphia at each elecron. The
democrats estimate that the republi
cans will this fall try to take 60,000
reaches that.
Democrats Awake.
Fraudulent voting on the pan of the
democrats wiil be difficitul*. since they
have none of the machinery of tne
election in their hands, and it is not
lilteiy that they will accomplish ram h
in this line, even if they aUercpt-di.
They will, however, make far more
strenuous efforts toward-the preven
tion of fraud than .ever before.
Thus the chances are that the re
publican majority in Philadelphia may
be much less than normal, especially
since democratic meetings in ibis
city haive been much more largely
attended during the past two weeks
than the republican meetings.
The legislature is extremely doubt
ful, with the chances much in favor
of a majority against the machine.
This would mean the failure of Sen
at<ir Penrose to secure re-election.
Whether the democrats can obtain a
clear majority is somewhat doubtful,
and it the independent repuolicans
succeed in holding tne balance of pow
er, as tney probably will, a deadlock
over the senatorship may result.
The democrats are practically cer
tain to secure seven congressmen, a
gain of tatee, and are likely to get
one more.
VETS HOLDING
BIG REUNION
COLUMBUS GIVES THE OLD FEL
LOWS A ROYAL RE
CEPTION.
MANY HUNDREDS PRESENT

Commander By a Unani

rtts of "The Old-Time Confederate.’'

mander occurred. General Clement
A. Evans was re-elected, unanimous
ly, and with the utmost enthusiasm,
and when General McGlashin, of Sa
vannah, proposed three timers icr
General Evans they were given with
hearty good will. It was a most af
fecting tribute to the beloved divis
ion commander. General Evans thank
ed them, and said, ”1 had thought
that perhaps another should l serve
you,’ when the entire audience if tdd
veterans rose to their feet as one man
and cried, "No, never, we want you."
Tne audience shouted itself hoarse
over Dixie,” and when Colonel Levy,
in his address, waved a genuine con
federate battle flag, saved from the
war, the old soldiers went wild.

no killing or even damaging frosts
were predicted.
What was responsible for the chill

GUARDS PATROL WHITE HOUSE.
Repairs Cost So Much That the Pub
lic Is Being Rigidly Excluded.
Washington;, October HI). Recently
published criticism of the extrava
gance and rapid changes of mind on
t,.rt part of the architects having
charge of the alterations of the white
house have produced a marked effect.
Not only is the ordinary citizen bar
red from the grounds, which are pa
trolled by policemen, but a bane of se
crecy has been placed on every em
ploye of the architects and contract
ors, while the employes of the superin
tendent of public buildings and
grounds are also mysteriously silent.
A loose-tongued employe in the of
fice of Colonel Bingnam, superintend
ent of biuhlings and grounds, recent
ly let siip the information that the
cost of the alteration is much greater
than was contemplated by congress,
amounting to over $500,000, which wiij
probably necessitate the insertion of
a fat item in the deficiency bill. Much
of this surplus expenditure is being
caused by the rejection of wore that
was nearly completed, arising from
the fact that the architect had not
matured his plans before putting tnem
into execution.
Entire Freight Train Burns.

MAY EXEMPT STATE BONDS.
Senator Sullivan Introduced Bill to
Release Them.
A bill was introduced in the senate
yesterday morning designed to exempt
state, county and municipal bonds
Ire,in taxation by holders in Georgia.
Tiie author of the measure is Semator
Sullivan, of the Eighteen till district,
In the Constitution yesterday morn
ing the opinion of Attorney General
Boykin Wright was given at length,
in which he held that sfcaite, county
and municipal bunds are aeiiject to
taxation according to the constitution
of ihc state.
Senator Sullivan’s bill provides for
an amendment of paragraph 2, section
2 of article 7 of the constitution,
whieii relates to t.he'power of taxation
to be exercised by the general assem
bly. As the measure contemplates an
amendment of the constitution a pro
vision is made for ratification by the
people in the event the bill is passed
by the legislature. Up to this time
it lias been generally supposed that
state bonds were exempt from taxai
tion and it is certain That, administra
tors, guardians and cither people in
Georgia have invested in slate bonds
wirli the idea thiiLthcv were non taxa
ble.
It is the belief cf many that if these
bonds are to be taxed in future under
the opinion of the attorney general
they will not be in such great ’demand
as. heretofore. Senator Sitl.ivan is
himself of 'the opinion t’hait state,
county, municipal bends are taxable
property under the cdttst.it.uM-m, tut
ne is also of the opinion that the
states credit should not. be taxed iu
this manner. Hence the introduction
of his bill to except bonds of this
character along with the other ex
ceptions made by lhe~-ec<nstitution
adopted in 1877.
VERY GOOD PLAY.
“Lord Strathmore” Enjoyed at the
Grand Last Night.
“Lord Strathmore," with Virginia
Drew Trescott in the leading role, was
the attraction at. the Grand last night
and was witnessed by a fair audience,
hut. not so large as the play deserved.
Miss Trescott is the possessor of a
beautiful voice, which she handles
with consumate skill. Her queenly
bearing makes her the center of at
traiction during the scenes whicir af
ford a splendid opportunity to display
her talents. As Lady Vavasour in
"Lord Strathmore” she has a role for
which she is eminently fitted.
Alexander Frank, as lx>rd Cecil
Strathmore, handles his part well and
deserves special mention. „In fact, the
entire company is composed of good
actors and the performance last night
wqs a very creditable one.
Leaves For Home.
Benito Padrosa, the well known
lumber dealer, who has been spending
several months at his old home in
Spain, sailed from Barcelona yester
day. He will be here in two or three
weeks.
VERY SMALL
REGISTRATION
—♦—
LESS THAN FIVE HUNDRED
iVOTERS HAVE QUALIFIED FOR.
THE CITY ELECTION.
BOOKS WILL CLOSE MONDAY
Estimated That the Total .Registra
tion Will Not Exceed Seven
Hundred.
The registration list, up to the pres
ent. is the smallest in any city elec
tion in Brunswick for the past fifteen
>r twenty years. v
Up to Tuesday night, only 399 votes
had qualified for tiro election. ““About
in names were added yesterday,
which makes a total of 439. The
hooks will close next Monday had it
is hi general opinion that not more
, nan 700 names wilt in the list.
In previous years, whin contests
for mayor and aldermen were on, the
registration far exceeded that number,
and in several instances the total
number came very near reaching the
1,500 mark.
The falling off this year is due sol"
ly to the fact that no contests are ex
pected in the coining election. It is
it. tty well understood that Mayor
Emanuel will noP no opposed for re
election and there will hardly be nny
apposition for aldermen.
It. is a noticeable fact that very few
colored voters have qualified for the
elect hm. The average negro never
registers unless he is persuaded to by
the politicians, and then his taxes
have to be paid by the crowd who
register him.
However, the people of Brunswick
arc glad that such a state quiffs ire
exists at present, which indicates that
there is no politicos here and *that
our city is in a belter condition with
out it.
