1t is claimed by the author OF a
dispatch to the Philadelphia Times
that Secretary Folger's death was
produced by disappointment in the
canvass for Governor of New York.
The following is the statement rs it
appears in the dispatch:
HE was a person of great political
ambition and he regarded the Cover
norship of New York rs o stepping
stone to the Presidency. When he
received the nomination his Joy knew
no bounds. The State had been Civ
ing a Republican majority and he
thought surely that he would be
elected. He never got that notion
out of his head either, and was aston
ished when first his own town and
then the State gave such overwhelm
ing majorities against him. He al
most went insane at that time. His
friends here say that, like Horace
Greeley, he died of q disordered mind
and that his death is little short of a
political tragedy. Asa Judge, Folge,
was sound, consistent man ofinteg
rity."

The Tammany ring Of New York
have at last declared for Cleveland,
though in q complaining and fault
finding spirit. The Galveston News,
however, we'll says:
There is one suggestive feature
about the Tammany declaration. If
Tammany were not convinced that
Cleveland would win the fight, it
would have remained in silence, or
at least have played its game openly.
The fact that it has Endorsed Cleve-
land is positive proof that he is we'll
in the lead. When he is declared the
winner in November Tammany of
course will boast that his election
was owing to it's efforts. If Cleve-
lands election seemed doubtful, or
Blaine's chances exceedingly bright,
Tammany would have remained neu-
trail, and if Blaine won, it would have
asserted that it's detection caused the
defeat of Cleveland. Tammany
wishes to register on the winning
side, hence the Endorsement Of Cleve-
land.

"TnE experience Of this year in
Texas" says the Texas Monitor, OF
Galveston, ',is an ADDITIONAL proof that
the rule Of King Cotton is an arbi-
trary and destructiyerule. The extern
sive cultivation Of cotton is even more
of an obstacle TO white settlement OF
the State than pasturage on a large
scale. But an offset TO the UNI
certainty of the cotton crop would be
found in manufactures. II part OF
the money and enterprise that are
going to extend the 1000 miles OF
railway now in Texas were applied to
building up the manufacture Of even
coarse staples, railroad extension
would take care Of itself and would
thrive by the healthy and natural
demand. What Texas needs is q
little less of the speculative spirit and
a little more OF close calculation and
legitimate industry"

such bsing IN indisputabls fact, 10 II
possible that the common mind can
fail TO detect the hypocrisy that Turks
in Democratic pretensss for pubic
education1 A year ago the constitu-
ton was amended 30 as to impose an
additional poll tar Of one dollar for
educational purposes, though at the
time proceeds for the sale OF public
lands for the same purpose exceeded
Eve millions Of dollars. But Demo
Gratis, so-called, say this fund is too
sacred TO be used; (aside) 1--WE tax the
present generation that they may
feel the burthen Of public education
and be taught by experience that
ignorance il bliss" There certainly
lives nor breathes 30 feeble an intellect
as to be gulled by such hypocrisy,
and II we mean to ever be in earnest
or TO make an issue fair and square,
now is the time TO make it. II Jeffer-
son or Washington had tempered
with Tories or lent manhood to the
countenance Of royalty, America had
never been free. It is when issues
are sharp and we'll defined that
hypocrites are exposed and truth tri-
umphs.
Whoever supports the action OF the
Houston convention is for "Herd
Law" and opposed to public educa-
ton. He is also in favor OF the jury
system now 30 qualified in its relation
to the public generally as to amount
to tool in the hands of the judge.
The people, through their county
courts, should select their juries.
As the Democrats, 30 called, by
their friend and organ, Jack Evans,
in the Houston convention denounced
me as a political mongrel, without
principle, I deem it but just to my
self to call public attention to the
brotherly triune embrace of Leader,
Evans and Ireland, and that the pic
ture, in its African sympathy, may
not be without coloring, attention is
called to the Houston love feast over
Simon, the sexton, genuine negro,
whose only merit was that he had
voted the Democratic ticket And
it is said, whether by authority or not
concerns this world but slightly, that
Ireland flooded in gladness, while
Hubbard evaporated in eloquence,
over the epoch that begins Democra-
tic affiliatlon with the colored race.
In announcing myself as a candi,
date I desire to say to the public
that my motive will be appreciated
by those know me personally. Wheth-
or demagogue or mongrel. as the
DEMOCRATS, by their auxiliaries, have
sought to designate me, let my neigh
bors and my comrades answer. Bas'
trop has repeatedly given the res
ponse, and so has the old Seven
teenth, and while Democratic money
may employ the pen of a Leader or
the tongue of an Evans, I have little
to fear so long as my rfeighbors and
comrades survive.
I am, very respectfully,
GEO. w. JONES.

From the Aliegan, (Mlchigan) Ga
Zette, of the Goth inst, We learn the
particulars of the marriage of Mr.. 7.
). Updyke,of this city to Miss Ella VIZ
hams, as follows:
An exceptionally brilliant social event
was the wedding Thursday evening, of
Ella, youngest daughter of the Hon.
and Mrs. ". j. Williams, to Theodore
5. Updykc. 1t was the occasion of the
gathering Of very large company, en-
bracing most of the towns leadeing
people of various ages, and was re-
markable for the richness and variety
of the ladies toilets. Many costumes
were of exceeding beauty and good
tastes; and. as belitted the occasion ev-
cry one was in the best humor and
happiness reigned supreme. At the
appointed hour the wedding party took
their places and the impressive cere-
mony of the Episcopal church was per-
formed. the Rev. ID. ID. Chaplin officia-
ting. Tie bride was arrayed in dress
of white India null with lace and wore
Marechal Mel roses. a costume rich and
beautiful but not elaborate. Her maids.
Misses Belle Partridge and Della Town,
were dressed the same material as that
used by the bride, except that its color
was light blue. Both wore natural
flowers. The groom was supported by
Charles Ill. BOrradaile of Marshall and
Theodore Williams, the brides brother.
The congratulations offered were less
formal than sincere and earnest, for
the new made man and wife were IA
voTites with old and young, Ella for
many maidenly graces and virtues and
Theodore not less for his frank genial
ity than for his courtesy and intelligent
| promptness and honor in business rela-
lions. That they should receive an
abundance of tokens of high esteem was
a natural result, but warmest friends
could scarcely have expected so rich a
display. There were gifts in rare and
costly china and silver, in bronze and
gold, in books, in flowers, in crystal
and in the looms choicest fabrics.
adorned by the skill of artists and ell
graver. Perhaps never, or ut most with
one exception, has the display beer
equalled in the annals of our village
weddings; and never were gifts more
worthily bestowed. From tables boun-
teously supplied the guests were sery-
ed a collation., as varied in its ex.
tent as rich in its composition. At a
late hour the company departed, pleased
with the sociality of the evening aAd
feeling honored by their perfect enter.
