There is not a newspaper in this
congressional district, that has a
word to say against Col. Candlor’a
record ot six years in congress.
Mr. Pickett’s charges against
Candler have no foundation, all un
prejudiced nunds can plainly see.
The general indications are this
will be an extremely cold winter.
Early frosts have showed them
selves In many sections in the ex
trerai southern latitude. Howev
er, it ha 6 not been sufficient to di
rectly wipe out the yellow fever.

The father is now inquiring after
his “wayward son.” When he
finds him, he is most likely to be
in a medical college of experience,
where learning is not necessary.
A great many of the retugees
from Jackson, Miss., returned last
week, under the penalty of the
quarantine law. This law was en-
acted by the board of health, and
imposes a tine of $5OO and thirty
jjays’ imprisonment. The quaran
tine was raised in that city last
Friday. It would have been bet
ter had the violators waited for it.
As they now stand, either them or
the board of health, are in trouble.
Editor John Kirby of the Sun
day-school Visitor, Nashville,
Tenn., and his family were attend
ing a Sam. Jones meeting a few
BYenings since, in that city. While
absent from home the house was
robbed. Three men drove up with
a wagon and deliberately loaded it
with household goods. The neigh
bors seen them, but didn’t know
what it meant. The wagon was
traced ten miles out of the city
and the thieves captured.
For the past few days Anniston,
Ala., has been undergoing no little
excitement among her citizens.
Only last week a shooting took
place. The editor of the Evening
Watchman was assaulted by two
ruffians and shot in his office. The
trouble grew out of the ed. haviug
published an article condemning
the whiskey men. Anniston had
a prohibition law enacted a year
or so ago, but it has turned out to
be a farce The citizens are in
dignant over tbe shooting and
speak of mobbing the attempted
murderers of Editor Munalee,
Lawrence and Lacy, who are w
in jail The whole town is in a.m-.
The preachers won't go on lie

The whole train ran over thowoma ’a
body—tearing it into atoms. After
this the tiain was stopped and some of
the crew went back with shovel# and
threw the remains of the body from the
track, About two hundred drunken
negro miners witnessed the ►cene.
When tboy seen bow the body was
handled they surrounded tbe crew with
drawn pistols, and swore they would
lynch them. While five of them went
to a store, one of the crew mao aged to
nnconple the engine from the cars.
Tbe entire crew got in the engine and
pulle t tho trottle at a lively rate for
Birmingham. A volley of shots were
firod from the enraged negroes—only
breaking tho cab windows.
It was a dastardly deed on the part
of the conductor and engineer. The

Washington, Ocf. 9.—An infor
mal conference of republican sena
tors was held this morning to talk
over the general situation, and
more especially to arrange the
course of debate on ike tariff bill.
The results were meagre, owing to
doubt everywhere entertained
whether a quorum of the senate can
be held in Washington, should the
tariff debate be protracted beyond
next week. A dozen or more sen
ators were named, who desire to
make speeches, and a list of repub
licans was started, which, so far,
includes tho names of Hiscock, Cul
lom, Platt, Spooner, Aldrich and
Teller. The desire of a number of
senators, however, to get away is
very strong, and with the system
of pairs prevailing in the senate
and always rigidly adheared to, ev
ery absentee reduces the
voting force by two. In consider
ing these matters it became appar
ent that there would be a great dif
ficulty in keeping a voting quo
rum to act upon amendments, and
finally upon the bill. No acticn
was taken in conference, and no
definite policy was sketched, but
there is reason to believe that if
the senate finds itself for any
length of time without a quorum,
either adjournment sine die or a
recess for several weeks will be ta
ken. It, therefore, now seems prob
able that this session will practic
ally come fo an end next week or
early week after, and that the tar
iff bill will be left for final action
after election day.
Why Cleveland Can Carry New
York.
There is no doubt about it—
Cleveland will carry New York by
an overwhelming majority.
It would be remarkable if he did
not.
There is no occasion, whatever,
for democratic fear concerning the
oullook in that state; and in esti
mating the result, it is just
as well now to place New fork in
the democratic column, notwith
standing the fact that the republi
u press and management is do
tui. ill if can to cloud the demo
cratic sky by declaring that the
muncipal contest in New York and
the alleged rivalry between Cleve
land and Hill, gives tbe republicans
hope of carrying the state.
In the first place, the most cor
dial relations exist between Cleve
land and Hill, and the latter is do
ing nobly his part for the demo
cratic cause He has spoken for
the national ticket wherever he has
advocated his own cause, and he
has even gone so far as to urge
those who will not vote for him to
stand by Cleveland, as the demo
cratic split in New York city injur
ing the chances of the national tick
et, this can be dismissed as amount
ing fo nothing.
But suppose both these things
were true; Cleveland would still carry
New York state. Four years ago he
carried the state when a republican
president, a New Yerker, too, was in
office, and when the republicans hoot
ed at the idea of a dsmooratic victory.
In 1882 he received three out of five of
the votes cast in tbe state, when he
was only known as the mayor of Bnf
falo. He has since became a great
man. and it> will bo seen that New
York will not be induced to sacrifice
a favorite son who alrsaiy bclds the
presidency, for a man who was not
strong enough to stay in the senate af
ter holding the office for on* term.
ew Yorkers go very strong on looal
pride, aud a New York candidate has
not lost that state linos the war. Sey
mour carried it in 1868, Tilden in
1876, Cleveland in 1884, and Cleve
land will carry it again in 1888. It
is simply the logio of common sense,
and the republicans realize tbe weak*
ness of their position. Their only hope
is to oariy Indiana and to secure
enough other eleotoral votes to give
them tbe victory without the help
of New York.
sew York can safely he put down
for Cleveland and Hill by one of the
roundest democratic majorities on is
oord.—['Constitution.
