In an interview in the Vicksburg
Herald Col. Edmund Richardson
says the convention in nominating
Cleveland and Hendricks struck the
nail squarly on the head. He said
he had just returned from Western
New York where be found everybody
enthusiastic over the nomination, and
from what be heard and saw believes
Cleveland will carry New York by
one hundred thousand majority. He
said further ''the ticket OF Cleveland
and Hendricks is a growing ticket.
1t has grown steadily since the adj
journment of the Democratic Con
vention, and will continue to grow
as the days go by until the election.
They are worthy of the highest con-
idence of til people, and in my
judgment their election is an as
sured, foregone conclusion. '-Jact,

As late as the 23d of May last, the
St. Louis Globe Democrat, which is
now supporting Blaine, said of him:
"He is an unclean man, and the
people will not have him. He stands
self-convicted ofprostituting the high
offices he has held to build up pri-
vate fortune. His record would damn
him."
This reminds an exchange of the
old negro, who being caught stealing
on the day he offered himself Tor bap
tism, declared he didn't intend to let
a miserable ham of meat stand be-
tween him and the blessed Jesus
Elk.

The Pond Lilies Again.

Chas. B. Robinson, Of Sharptown, gave
us a piece of information the other day
that was news to us. He says that
when he was boy, about fifty years
ago, the large chinquepin lilies grew
on the flats in Salem Creek, below
Sharptown, in large numbers, and re-
manned there until drowned out by the
high tides of 1873, which covered the leaves
and seemed to destroy the vitality of the
plants There were none in the Sharp
town or Woodstown ponds at the time he
speaks Of Edward r. Bullock, while
teaching school at Sharptown, procured
some of the seed, one fall, from the flats
and planted them in the shoal water in
Sharptown pond, where they terminated,
and when he came to Woodstown he had a
boy bring him about a quart of the seeds
and threw them into the Woodstown
pond, which was the origin of the plant
here.
The wild ducks used to visit the flats of
the creek in large numbers, in the fall, to
feed on the seeds of the lilies. there being
about two acres of them growing there I'M
til they were drowned out. We have heard
many inquiries as to how the plant was
started in Woodstown, but this is the first
explanation we have heard given

The Murderer Con fessas.

Sullivan has broken down at last On
Monday afternoon he sent word to Sheriff
Coles that he wished to see him The
Sheriff went to his cell, and he stated that
he had made up his mind to tell what he
knew of the murder. Mr.. Coles declined
to hear his story unless it was taken down
in writing by a justice of the peace, to
which Sullivan consented, and the justice
was sent for, and in his presence and that
of the Sheriff the prisoner, with streaming
tears told the story of his crime, which
was taken down in writing by the justice,
as it came from the prisoners lips. The
justice informed us that while the details
of the story would be kept secret, until the
trial-as to divulge them might interfere
with the other work of finding proof of the
crime-yet they deemed it due the people
that they should know that a confession
had been made.
The substantial part of the story is, that
on the evening of the murder Sullivan saw
Ella Watson in Yorktown and starting
for home, and the idea then occurred to
him to take from her the money which he
knew she had received for the poultry, that
he might go to Atlantic City with the ex-
cursion. With this object he followed her
and, running through the confeld, got
ahead, and secreting himself in the woods,
waited her approach AS she drew near
the thought of killing her entered his mind,
and he acted upon it with the horrible re-
suit already known. lie strenously denies
any attempt at outrage.
Notwithstanding this confession, Sulli-
van will have to be indicted and tried, and
ON the trial the confession will be Used as
evidence in connection with other testi-
mony which the authorities are engaged in
working up.
Last week the Sheriff and Prosecutor
with l. o. Acton, Esq, made a survey of
the locality of the murder, including the
road from Mr.. Watson's house to Yorke-
town, and Mr.. Acton has since been e,l-
gagged making an accurate map of it to be
used on the trial.
On Tuesday morning Sullivan seemed
very cheerful. He could be heard all
around the vicinity of the Jail singing camp
meeting hymns. We noticed, however,
that he kept away from the windows,
his usual habit being to stand at the bars,
looking out at passers by.
friend employed on the opposite side of
the street from the Jail, told us ON Tuesday
that the colored people passing by would
frequently express their indignation as they
caught sight of the prisoner at the windows
and seemed more bitter against him than
the white people One old colored woman,
shaking her fist in the direction of the Jail,
said, Darn him! he oughter be hung right
outen dat winder, an everybody done come
erlong oughter shoot at him." Our own
inquiries among the colored people we have
met fail to show any of the spirit
of clannishness or inclination to screen
the guilty from punishment, which has been
attributed to them by some of the newspa-
pers
