The October states.

The list of States which hold elections
In October this year is not more fOrmld-
able in numbers than the list Of the pres
ent month. In population and strategic
importance, however, one Of the States,
Ohio, far surpasses all three Of the Sep
TENDER States.
Georgia votes for Governor, State House
officers and members Of the General As
sambIy on Oct. 1. This election can
have little effect on the Presidential
contest. The Republican opposition
will not be Of much strength and light
vote will 10 doubt be pOlled. If the Re
publicans had made any show Of strength
in the canvass the Democrats would rally
and snow them under with $1,000 or
100000 majority.
Ohio and West Virginia will hold their
elections on Oct. II. The former VIII elect
minor State officers and Congressman.
Here will be fought the first real battle
Of the campaign. The skirmishes IN
Vermont and Maine were not expected to
be productive Of any very important re-
suits The Democrats are not pursuing
any Fabian policy in Ohio. They will
contest the state inch by inch. The Con-
gressionaI elections will cause a
full vote to be pOlled. Both parties
will put forth their best efforts. Able
speakers are already on the stump,
and they will probably give the State the
most thorough stirring up it ever had.
The prospect for Democratic success in
Ohio is bright. With a voting strength Of
over 500. 600 the parties are nearly equally
divided. A large part Of the German
vote. heretofore Republican, will now go
tn the Democrats. The present Governor
and majority Of the Legislature are
Democrats. While the State has always
been decidedly Republican in previous
Presidential years, it is thought to be
pretty certain that a majority Of the PEG
pie now demand a change and VIII Vote
the national Democratic ticket, even if
many Of them vote the Republican State
and Congressional tickets. Until very
recently the Democrats hardly hoped to
secure the electoral votes Of Ohio, but
now they seem TO have the de-
cided advantage there. If the Repub-
Leans lose the State in October they
viii have hardly any chance of carrying
it in November. If the Democrats should
lose it in October they would have about
as good a chance as ever of carrying it in
the Presidential election, for many Of the
boilers from Blaine still remain loyal to
their party on State and local questions.
In West Virginia the Republicans an
nOunce that they will make the first de-
termined assault on the Solid South.
state officers. members Of the Legislature
and Congressman are to be elected.
There seems to be little doubt now that
the Democrats will carry the State by
good majority.

THE PROHIBITION QUEEN.
Miss Fixen Says Drunkard Dies Every
Nine Minutes.


Nine Minutes.
A temperance meeting was held Tues
day evening at the Temple in Clermont
avenue, Brooklyn, under the auspices of
the Prohibition party of that city, says
the New York World. There were about
two hundred people present, fully two
thirds of whom were ladies. The chair
was occupied by Mr.. George r. Scott.
After a temperance solo by Prof. Weeks,
the Rev. Mr.. Williams offered prayer.
The Chair then, after another song from
the Professor, introduced Miss Laura g.
FiXen, of the Minnesota WOmen's Chris
tian Temperance Union, pleasant-lOOk-
ing young woman, who wore her hair
short and was neatly dressed in black
silk. She was named by the Chairman as
Minnesota's Prohibition Queen. Miss
FiXen is a Danish lady and speaks with
a decided accent.
She said that one could tell by the laws
and customs of place what kind of
people lived there. If she came to a
place and found that no liquor was sold
there, she could know that the place was
the habitation of an orderly and Chris
tian people. II on the contrary she found
a liquor saloon on every corner, she knew
that the people of that place were foolish
and lacked backbone. 1t was said when
Mr.. st. John was defeated for Governor
of Kansas that temperance was dead, but
this was a mistake, it was not dead in
Kansas or in Iowa.
When l see woman" said the speaker,
'Ewith but 10 cents worth of dress on her,
know that rum did it. 1t is said that if
a man drinks he takes the consequences;
but it is not so. The man drinks and the
woman takes the consequences. Every
nine minutes some man goes to drunk
ards grave in the United States. A man
who knows all of the evil of the saloons
and won't use all his influence to close
them up, is just abOut-the meanest man
on EARTH"
She then told an anecdOte of man in
Kansas who crawled into hollow tree to
get out of the rain, and the tree swelled
up and he could not get out, He confessed
all of his sins and prayed, but the tree
kept closed and he could not get out. Sud-
denly he remembered that he had voted
against prohibition, and that made him
feel so small that he squeezed through
the aperture in the tree and got out. "a
man drinks what is called Bourbon whis-
ky, which Shakespeare called a devil,
which the Bible calls a mocker, and which
l call calamity juice" she said. 81 go to
this blessed book laying her hand on the
Bible J, and l don't find Blaine there or
Logan there; l don't find Cleveland there
nor Hendricks, but / do find Prohibition
lists there from beginning to end-I find in
the Old Testament a Daniel sid in the
New Testament st. john" NJ

There is talk Of making Col. A. 5. Col
var, Of the Nashville american, Repre-
sentative in the Tennessee Legislature.
Col. Colyar is probably not ambitious in
that direction. He has been prominent
candidate for Governor Of his State, and
was i'm the Confederate Congress for near
ly four years. He was strong Wing be-
fore the war, and was Union man in
1850, but when Tennessee seeded he
linked his fortunes with those of his State.
At the close Of the war he had almost
nothing left, but has made a fortune out
Of railroad, coal and iron interests. He
is an able lawyer, and has had lucrative
practice. If he agrees to go into the Leg
islature, it Will probably be only to be-
come Speaker, aud eventually TO step into
the GubernatOrial chair.

Prohibition candidate st. John has been
in Chicago and submitted himself very
successfully to a newspaper interviewer.
He let out the important fact that instead
Of fretting and fasting and wearing him.
self out. he has actually gained thirty
pounds in weight since the campaign
opened. and ne hopes to gain thirty
pounds more by the fateful fourth of No
vember. He seems not to realize that he
may lay himself liable 10 be politically
damned by a statement Of the New York
Sun to the effect that ''he is a good man
and weighs 200 pounds"
To the credit Of st. Johns opponents be
it said that he is not charged with
violating his temperance pledge, or with
being blOated by sweet cider. He has
been so careful about what he drank that
the vinegar bitters man will have no
chance to ring in an advertisement among
the campaign documents. His only drink is
the s'pure and unadulterated ale of Father
ADAM" and his gain in weight can be at
tributed partly to liberal diet of West
ern pork and greens, good digestion and a
clear conscience.
He would not claim positively that he
would carry the electoral vote Of a single
State. He said the Prohibition strength
was on the increase. He said his party
would have an electoral ticket in each
State. and would not combine with either
Of the old parties. He claimed that the
Prohibitionists hold the balance of power
in Ohio, Michigan, Massachusetts, In
diana, New York, Maryland, Illinois, and
several other States; and he said that the
power would be used in building up his
party, but just how this would be done he
did not state.
He stated that he had been surprised at
the enthusiasm which had greeted him
everywhere he had been. 1t is well If Mr..
st. John fattens on enthusiasm and what
he gets to eat along the road. He should
make the most of what he gets as the cam
paign goes on. 1t seems to be pretty GER
tain his votes will not pan out as the al
legged enthusiasm would seem to indicate.

Why do doctors ever prescribe alcoholic
stimulantsf They say there is strength
in them. This is all a mistake. Such
things may bolster patients up for little
while, but leave them worse when the
temporary stimulus subsidies. If people
keep on taking alcoholic stimulants, it
means drunkenness and ruin. Remem-
Der that Browns Iron Bitters is not an
alcoholic drink. 1t is the only reliable

The Legislative Ticket.

The Democrats of Chatham county were
out in full force at the meeting last night,
and the Theatre was filed to its full ca
pacity. The contest over the delegates TO
the Senatorial Convention was the event
Of the evening. 1t was quite close, but
resulted in the selection Of gentlemen
who are said to be favorable to
the nomination of Capt. Robert
FaIligant. The nomination Of Messrs.
Gordon, Reilly and Hartridge for Repre-
sentatives was almost unanimous. The
gentlemen selected are identified with th e
interests Of the people Of the county, and
will ably represent them in the legislative
councils Of the State.
