COIQuitt for Tiiden and Hendricks.
ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 1S-The Constitution
prints an interview with Senator Co,quitt,
which indicates that the vote of Georgia will
be given to the old ticket in the contest Of
next year. He has just returned from New
York, and says:
81 am satisfied, from my observation in
New York ana from conversation with gen.
tlemen from all parts of the country, that
the only thing Tor the Democrats to do is to
nominate the old ticket-Tilden and Hen
bricks Opinion on this point was almost
literally unanimous. No matter what state
q man hailed from, he reported that his PEG
pie were for the old ticket"
"What effect will the late elections have on
public opinionw
sit only makes the nomination of Mr.. Til
den more imperative necessity. If New
York had gone heavily and decidedly Demo-
cratic, and if Connecticut had remained in
line, we might have carried the country next
year under almost any good leaders
"Will Mr.. Tilden consent to run"
'Let the Democratic party nominate him.
think the clear way to national victory, ana
am afraid the only way, is to nominate the
old ticket, Tilden and Hendricks, and go &c
the country under the leadership of the only
Democrat who has carried the country since
the war;
Senator Colquitt says that reports of Mr..
Tlden's physical condition ara greatly exag-
gerated-indeed, astonShingly so.

gon Sweethearts and Chicago
Wives.
PORTLAND, Oregon, Nov. 1S.-Breach Of
promise proceedings against George Fl. Davis,
a dashing and handsome young dentist, has
been begun by Minnie Wood. Among
those who have declared themselves
under engagement of marriage to the doc
tor are eleven young ladies of this city.
Miss Wood testified that Davis had paid the
most devoted attention to her for three years.
He had frequently told her that life without
her would not be worth living. She said she
had confidence in Davis until she met another
young lady with whose affections he had
trifled. Davis told the jury that his inten-
tions were willfully misinterpreted. The
trouble with the young women of
Portland, he said, was that they were
too anxious to get married. This ended the
the trial for the day. After the adjournment
of court Davis was Kissed on his way home,
and it is said that an arrangement is being
perfected among a number of his victims big
brothers to treat him to a coat of tar and
feathers News reached here that Davis had
three wives in Chicago, and that these ladies
are now on their way to this city.

MARY ANDERSON'S LOVER.
Marriage Of a Pennsylvania Once
Engaged to the Fair Actress.

P1TTsBURG, Nov 13-The marriage at Oil
City a few days ago of Theodore SUIT
ton, of this city, to a niece of Presl-
dent Rockefeller, of the Standard Oil
company, recalls an incident in the life
of Mary Anderson which has never been
published. Sutton was a member of the steel
manufacturing firm of Smith, Sutton & Co.,
and when Mary Anderson played her first en-
gagement in this city, seven years ago, Sutton
procured an introduction. Sutton had pre-
viously made the acquaintance of DR.. Griffin,
her stepfather. Letters were exchanged at
intervals after her departure. The follow
ing summer Sutton visited Miss Anderson
at Long Branch, and it soon became known
to select few that Mary had promised to be-
come Mrs. Sutton and retire from the stage
As is well known, the promise never was full
filled, and by the marriage ofiSutton is now
beyond the range Of possibilities. 1t is init
mated that the engagement was broken OH
because Of religious differences that could not
be reconciled
Almost a Panic In . Chicago Theatre
CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Quite scene took
place at Hooley's theatre during the perform
ance of "Zillahn by the Janauschek troupe
Smoke was seen issuing from one of the
registers in the floor of the parquette, and
the people in the vicinity took alarm
and commenced rising to make their
exit. Loud cries were made by those near
the door for those in front to sit down, but
it only added to the excitement. III awhile
the performance on the stage W IS suspended,
but Mime. Janauschek stood calmly in her po-
sition displaying the most complete sang
froid, and one of her company advanced to
the footlights and requested the audience to
remain seated, as there was no danger. The
performance was recommended and finished
without any further exhibition Of fear, ex-
cept from a few who left their seats and con-
gregated near the main entrance door.

no doubt but that he is before the
people - that is, if they want him
for the Office, he will accept. But I
do not believe the senator will be disap-
pointed should he fail to receive the nomina-
ton. He looks upon it almost as the crea-
ton of the hour, and Of course cannot tell
what may transpire within the next year.

When our ancestors wished to
provide for the perpetuity of repub-
lican institutions they prohibited
premogeniture and the entailment
of landed estates. These were the
principal supports of the nobility in
England, and without such rights
our good fore-fathels thought it i'm
possible for a wealthy arjstocracy to
ever exist i'm America. Railroad
rings, bonanza princes and the bloat-
ed bondholders OF Wall Street did
not cast their shadows before, and
the great inequality of wealth that
is just now beginning to be seen in
this country was never dreamed of
by the founders of our liberties.
The question now arises if further
legislation is not required to pre-
serve our freedom and equality ?
There is something radically wrong
when the VandberbiIts and Astors
live on millions of inherited dollars
and thousands of people in their
immediate vicinity struggle for a
bare support. We cannot in conso-
nance with our free institutions
prohibit any man the right of ac-
quiring fortune. What then is to
be done? We must curtail the
right of devise; no testator should
be allowed to bequeath over GER
tain amount to any one legatee.
