Dr V D. Locshakt, j _ E(U Jno. Bartor, \ Demontie Ticket. 1888 CLEVELAND AIfDTHDRMAW! Harrison and Morton. Gen. Benjamin Harrison of Ind-i ana, and Levi I*. Morton of New York, are the gentlemen named by the “grand old party,” to be sacri ficed in the overwhelming defeat that awaits them in November. Harrison is a weak man in the Pacific states, and his record on the Chinese question will put Cali fornia and Navada in the demo cratic column. Besides, it is by no means settled that he can carry his own state. Gov. Hendricks carried it in 1876 and again in 1884, and it is more than probable that Thurman will add sufficient strength to the ticket to carry it again in November. The Irish vote will go solid against Harrison on account of a remark by him, made recently, that “there should be a re striction of Irish immigration, if the Chinese were kept out.” A mud dog it* reported to have bit ten a number of t-heep and bog* in Gieen oonn'j.

Levi P, Morton will not be able to carry New York, or even to add appreciable strength to the repub lican ticket in the eastern states. Thomas A, Edison, the great in ventor, is now exhibiting the most marvelous piece of mechanism that he has yet been responsible for, It is a boy! Gov. Gordon, upon hearing of the republican nomination said: "There is no doubt but the ticket is a strong one, but Cleveland and Thurman will win.” Blaine hat been Tithing the ruins of Melrose. When he returns to this country, he will hare the pleasure of viewing the pietureeqae rains of a large number of presidential booms. Hon. Wm. H. Barnum of Con necticut, has been re-elected chair man of the National Democratic Committee. J, H. Estill of Sa vanah, is the Georgia member of the committee. tiev. Warren A. Candler, associat ed editor of the Xashyille Christian Advocate, has been elected president of Enrory College.

Col Albert Cox says that the nom ination of Harrisou means that the re publicans intend to make a bitter fight on the sectional issues, and that it will be a bloody shirt campaign.

Ex U"V Bullock badly traced by the Georgia delegation at the Chi cago Convention, because he steadily denied the suppress on of the negro vote in the South. “Marching through Georgia" is a potent argument with bloody-shirts, than my mere state ment ef facts that could be made by eX Go* - . Bullock or anybody else. Ned, Clark, colored, was lynch ed in Worth county the 25th inst. He was charged with attempting rape upon a young girl thirteen year* of age. He had been captur ed and Was being conveyed to Ir win county, the scene of his crime. He attempted to escape while in the woods and was shot down. His body was found with 19 bullet holes in it. “Marching through Georgia,” was the popular musical accom paniment of the Chicago Conven tion. Before that august assembl ed the band struck up the stirring strains of that patriotic hymn that so animates the breast of.the fire eating bloody-shirts, and during a lull in the proceedings, several hundred delegates joined in sing ing it for the edification of the leaders of the “grand old party."

The gen tleman and his wife have adopted the little waif and propose to raise it. In his official acceptance of the nomination for the presidency, Mr. Cleveland said: “Four years ago I knew that our chief executive of fice, i'not carefully guarded, might drift, little by little, away from the people, to whom it properly be longed, and become the perversion of all it ought to be, but I did not know how much its moorings had already been loosened, I knew then that abuses and extravaganc es had crept into the management of public affairs, bit I did not know their numerous forms nor the tenacity of their grasp, I knew then the bitterness of partisan ob struction, but I did not know how bitter, how reckless, and how shameless it could be.” The papers tell os that Mrs. Li’y Langtry is to be married to Fred Gab h&rdt in September. Jnat as soon as the legal anthorities of Ban Francisco can grind out the papers of a legal di vorce from her English husband, the dame and her devoted German whelp will enter inta the blissful state 0 f * •econd farce honeymoon in the Howell mountains of California. It is astonishing bow degrading the Ameroans are in tolerating this wo man to come among them in the pomp and splendor of a queen, and collect thousands of dollars annually, through the mere workings of a dramatist, pushed by impostering advertising, and newspaper puffs, penned from the perjured principles of reporters for a 50 cent ‘'comp.” ora loaf-sugar toddy.
