The Grant movement in low a
would seem to have come to sud
den end in favor Of "the pluned
Knight" of Maine. The two chief
Republican papers of the State.
the Des Moines Gazette and the
Register, both of which favored
Ulysses a few months ago, drop
him now, and announce that there
10 no reason why.the party should
take him up as their candidate.
The explanation given for this is
that ths Republican party is much
stronger to-day than it was before
the late election. Grant was then
"forlorn hope" and forlorn
hope is not needed BY the Repub-
iicans to-day. 1t makes very little
difference to the Democratic party
who the Republicans may nominate
as their candidate for the office OF
President, as he viii certainly be
defeated.

How completely. the Republican,

South is shown by the number OF
Representatives il has in The Leg

The North Carolina Legislature

representation of any of these
Ssates-something over Que third:
Florida comes next, with about
one-third of It's Legislature Repub-
lican; aud then Louisiana, with
thirty-one Radicals out OF 1926
Representatives. In the other
Southern States the Radical part,
can hardly be said To be repre-
scented at all Georgia has bui

cal party. He closes lengthy
communication in recent issuo of
the Carroll Conservative with the
following remarks:
Ny advice to-day, to the people
of my race in this Senatorial Dis:
trict, is to bid along and lasting
farewell to the party of many PROM
ises aud no performances, and join
hands with the Conservative peo-
pie Of the country, SO that we may
live long and prosper, with no
more bulldozing, no more curses
for inequality, bat each man act

A Mall Agent Falls from His Train
Captain Wilson, mail agent on the
fast line west, while reaching out for the
pouch at the mail station near Mifliln,
Pa, Monday evening, fell from his
car to the ground. The effort to secure
the pouch was successful, but the agent
lost his balance. The bell-rope commu-
nicating with the engine was pulled. II
unfortunately happened to be the wrong
signal and the engineer paid no atten-
ton to II. The train finally stopped
when some distance away, and owing to
the length of the time that would have
been consumed the train did not return.
II was reported last night In this city
that Wilson was not injured at all, but
later intelligence was to the effect that
he was suffering pain, indicating that he
probably was severely hurt. The extent
of the injuries were not learned, how
ever. Wilson has three children.-AL

is very good We trust they will bear
