Col.-Oh, yes.
Rep.-You think, then, no matter

they are going to win?
Coll don't know as to that.
think the Democratic party just now
has the best chance of winning. You
see, the Democrats have 1873 votes
solid from the South. That much
they are sure of, and if they can carry
New York and Indiana they will have
80 votes, three votes to spare. Be
sizes these, there is a chance of their

see tn, ne has been such an emigration
from 4 >vada to Leadville and other
points in Colorado quite recently that

lost Indiana, if they carried New Jer-
sey and Connecticut, they would still
be safe.
Rep.-Do you think if 1ilden were

Colt is doubtful if he could.

COL think so. He can Garry In.

HARDEMAN COUNTY LOSES

We learn from uhdoubted authority

their stock in the interest of the new
line. Positive guarantees were to be
made to insure the completion of q
line from Bolivar to Nashville. But
the stockholders refised and the T.,

then resolved to make Jackson the
starting place.
This being done, the stock in the NJ.
