THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 2, NUMBER 29. 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.

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.

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 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.
