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. A Texas man sent his son to At lanta to attend a medical college. The youngster became infatuated with one of the city’s lude women, and skipped to parts unknown 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-.

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 aw shoald folly mete oat their pun ishment. 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.
