.Ixo. Barton, - - - Editor. T""-'■'.' "V ; Democratic Ticket. 1888- CLEVELAND AND THURMAN ! For Congress 9’h District, __ AD. CANDLER. WiJ tw Jersey g> Democratic, l n< t altogether cm tain. Decatur has had a good frost, but the fever still hangs on. Col. Candler is still stumping his district. Birmingham has a murder or su icide every week. Illinois is not making much of a fuss over the coming election. A big democralic jubilee was hedd in Cincinnati lai-t Thursday. Pickett's chances in this district are small lie may carry one or two counties, but it is doubtful. Pittsburg. Penn., is encouraged over the bright outlook for a boom ing trade in the steel rail business. Under all the restriction acts of the U. 8., to prohibit the Chinaman from landing on her soil, it seems Ee will come in. Within the last tew days a num ber of thieves have been captured in Eagle Pass, Tex , for robbing trains. A man in New York has just been sent to the state prison for two years and six months, for false registration. Quite a dear attempt to forge a vote for him. Mr "Wilson, a base-ball champ ion, asks that congress pass an ap propriation of several thousand dollars to drain a pond near Deca tur, or else destroy the town. The yellow fever is at last, dy ing out in Jacksonville. The siege lias been a lasting one. Total cas es amount to something over 3,- 872; deaths. 333. It is going to be “nip and tuck'’ with tlie democrats and republicans as to who will carry Indiana The Hoosior state is a curious one, any how.

It is said within the iast few days over 50,000 new voters have been registered in New York city. Most of them will vote the demo cratic ticket. The rov'u licans of Nashville, Tenn , are. u der no little exci te rn :mt over the approaching elec tion. j hey are making shrewd arrangements to secure the entire negro vole of the state. Chairman Quay of the Republi ran Executive Committee, New York, it is said, has made the asser ticm Ibalthe republican party will carry that slate, if it costs a half million dollars. Next Tanadar will “ted the tsle of uafold things ” The prospects arc bright for a democratic: victor* . The outlook Or exceed# that of 1884. The voir tbiougaout the eoßutry will be largely increased. --Liss Francis E. Willard, presi dent of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, is bringine: prohibition into politics. Only a few days ago she made a telling blow at prohibition non-partisons. Blaine has been making some lively speeches in Rochester, N;T.; there is one thing certain he is not likely to tell the republicans to “claim everything in New York” again. I The seaport towns along the Florida coast, will always be trou bled with yellow fever, until they prohibit the landing of vessels from Cuba. This will hardly be done. The United States can not atFord it. The Birmingham Herald expects to enlarge soon. It is a morning paper. The best thing the Her ald can do is to get an editor, Since Editor Rhodes, one of the ablest writers in the state of Alabama, with drew from that paper, its columns hov ß been need to “no good”—the Writers are a sot of unexperienced men. Louisville. Ivy., has called a de fail of fifty of the Louisville Legion Kentucky State Guards to report for service today. They go to Har vard Perry County to attend the circuit court; here a number of persons engaged in the Eversole French feud are on docket. Trou ble is predicted. Democrats Be prepared to obargo the next Tuesday.

Thne* indc. pendent iein will never rrsnrrect its C <ii catcall P Bon!:# rv>Pß ; y llow About Indiana? The Nashville American pub hsuMf a page of relics, received from editors throughout the state of Indiana, to the questions (1) Who will carry Indiana? (2) By what majority? (3) What are your reasons for your belief? These questions were put to the editor of eve* v paper in Indiana, and the answers published represent near ly every paper in the state The responses are about equally divided between democratic and republican papers Every democ ratic paper says that Cleveland will carry the stale, and the average of the democratic estimate is about 8,000 majority. Every republican paper says that Har rison will, carry the state, and it is observed that the average of the estimated republican majority is about the same as that made by the democrats. There are about one hundred an swers in all, and a striking thing about them is that there is a re markable similarity in the respec tive relics of the papers. This serves to show that the result is a matter of great est uncertainty, and that only an official count can set tle the question as to who will receive tho electoral vote of India na. The general trend of the democ ratic papers as to the “reasons for unbelief” is that Harrison will lose on account of his attitude on the greenback question, the Chinese question, the labor question, the tariff question, the boodle ques tion. the know-nothing question, and further, from the fact that Cle veland’s administration has pleased the people of the state, and again because of the constant republican loss from the prohibition influence, and also owing to the natural and steady increase in the democratic vote of the state, which, ia a full vote, controls it. The republican editors base their belief on Harrison’s strength on the tariff question, his war record, his Grand Army support, the mat- ter of state pride, rejaublican har mony. dissatisfation at Cleveland’s administration, personal populari ty and the fact that Gov. Hendricks no longer lives to carry the state for the democrats. The report of th 6 American off ers an interesting study, but pres ents no possible significance as to the probability of the result.— [Constitution. . The Work Ended.
