Do You Know the Ge’man—He Hails From the Buck Eye Stale of Ohio—Has Been Master of the .Republican Senate lor a Number of Years—lf he Ever had a Will of his own the Re cords Fail to Show it..

The Const iMinn nays “it is too late dow to talk about Mr. Randall's via dorr f v ct ke oani sa Rufply of it all the ►mne.” That’s what Pennsylvania democrats think. Mr Harrell of the lower hause, has introduced a bill in the legis lature to sell the state road, The general feeling is it will receive til approval of both houses, Ohio gives liarrifou plurality ot about 13.000, and elocis 15 repobli can congressmen— 5 democrats, with one district ia doubt—not heard from at ibis writing, but both aides claim i*g 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 to the senate. Harrison carries the stale by a gain of 5,000 over Blaine in 1884. Col. Candler’s democratic ma jority over Pickett, independent, is 2,009 The ninth district don’t want any more ot i!n* ‘-dear Mat” in hers. Pickett or hi? kind can’t force her mlo it, 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. Communicated. “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. W. A.
