It is a question with republicans
and democrats as to whether Blaine
will be Harrison’s figure-head—
private secretary. It is still furth
er a question whether he will be a
member of the cabinet at all,
Colorado elects a solid republi
can delegation to congress, and
claims 20 out of the 26 members

Gov. Gordon's message to the
legislature shows the stale robe in
a good condition. To October Ist,
there wen* in the treasury some
thing over $200,000, notwithstand
ing the $8,000,000 paid out for t.he
new capitol in the last two years
The South accepts her defeat
with that pride and honor given
her name. The South is too loyal
to make complaint or murmur over
what the North has done—imagin
ary wrongs. All the South wants
is justice—be it from the hands of
her enemies she will accept it good
naturedly ss her part.
The North carWt stand free trade.
There is too much of the ring of
honesty about it. Sho wants pro
tection and lots of it—to the down
fall of the many and upbuilding
of the few
The foreigner must pay a duty of
40 per cent, on his goods before he
can land them in this country. He
sells an all wool hat for sl.-50-
pays 40 per cent of it to the U. S.
1 he American gells a hat half-mix
ed with cotton for sl:so—pays no
4( > per cent duty to the U. S. or any
body else, but puts the money in
his pocket. This is the way the
republicans do business. It istho
way the North has grown rich to
the poverty of the South.
Gov. Gordon refer* to thecomptro)
ler general’s rsport end extracts sons
interesting figures from it, but as thess
figures have already appeared in the
Oosstitution and other leading papers
of ihe state, the Observer will not re
produce them. However, the comp
troiler’s report shows that taxable
property of the colon and tax payers of
Georgia has increased oter eighty.fiyv
percent, since 1879. JT.om 1879 to
1888, inclusive, the railroad property
has increased two hundred and twelve
per cent, and all other taxable proper
ty has in the last decade increased
nearly $3,000,000. This is a tremen
dous showing.
The rest of the deeument is taken
ip with the routine matters of the
state, and some prucichl and valuable
suggestions are made that ought to at
tract the attention and appeal to the
common sense of the legislature.
Politics runs kind o’ curious in
New York, but “Davie” “gits thar”
on the gubernatorial race. The
democrats, the republicans and the
mugwumps made lively trades, no
doubt—the horse-jockey couldn’t
hold a light—but “Davie” didn’t
care what kind o’ ’possum took the
persimmons, so he put them in his
little gubernatorial dish, and went
for a coon under disguised demo
cratic stripes to lead the weak
knee democrats over to the Har
rison presidential dish.
The state of New York goes dem
ocratic on the state ticket, but re
publican on the national.
Gov. David B Hill (dem.) car
ries the state 20,000 majority' over
Miller (rep)—over Cleveland
(dem ) for president, about 8,000.
This 8,000 figured in the Hewett,
Grant, and Hill trade, viz: The
Hewett men traded oft’ Cleveland
for Grant men, the Grant men trad
ed off Cleveland for Hewett men,
the Hill men traded oft Cleveland
for Harrison men.
The three parties knifed Cleve
land to the hilt.
The above only affirms the pre
diction of the Observer of two
weeks ago.
Tammany Hall nominated Grant
for mayor, while previous to that
the county democracy re-nominat
ed Hewett.
Hill had cut a big figure in Etew
ett’s opposition—just enough to
save himself and slay Cleveland.

“Got There Eli.”
This beautiful heading was a word
constantly used by a gentleman seek
ing office in the congressional
district. He made it a point at every
plaee ho spoke to tell the people that
these words would be written over his
head on the 7th of November. Alas,
ala6f When the special telegram reach
ed the gentleman he saw he was left.
now, does not the incident remind
you of the sad history of Jonah?
The gentleman says ha was called
to preach, and did preach, but conclud
ed there was mors money in Washing
ton than his hearers were willing to
give him, and he started with great
confidence in himself—charged with
the ambition of a Bengal tiger, seek
ing credentials for another kind of bus
iness, when, behold* the whale that
has obstructed the passage of other dis
obedient office seekers, lay directly in
iha channel and tbs result is he was
"swallowed up,” bat this little whale
did not retain the obnoxious lunch for
more than three hours, as he wa* fear
ini of the cologne, the gentleman used
iu bis efiort to pass. He opened his
month, and without a single heave set
the gentleman fiat on the side ot a
high hill.
no w, Jonah, like he, sits lamenting
his sad fate.
Wonder if there will grow a gourd
vine around him? Our opinion is, ha
would be proud of something to hide
him after boasting like he did.
now i* the time, while the gentle
man is sick, to dispense of that motho
diet milk.
