how injudicous such course was. The total

evidence of wholesale lying was so conclusive
that the State officers had to call halt and stop

The Democratic Ticket Named by the Lea
ing Newspaper of Georgia.

The Democratic Ticket Named by the Lead
ing Newspaper of Georgia.
Atlanta Constitution.
The result in New York gives a prominence to
Gov David B. Hill that neither the party nor the
politicians can afford to ignore. Already some
OF the newspapers are saying Hill is the coming
man: ana, whatever he may amount to in the
end it is certain that just at present he is con-
siderable force in politics. He has demonstrated
that he possesses remarkable powers as an or
ganizer, and that he knows precisely how to
harmonic conflicting party interests. He Is es-
sentially practical man. He waited not mo-
ment to announce theories but took hold of his
campaign and managed it himself-managed it
with an ability that has made itself felt from the
start The Republican organs have been en-
gagged in an attempt to beittle Governor Hills
abilities but the successful management of
holly contested campaign in a State as impor-
tart as New York is the next thing to statesman
ship
1t is to be borne in mind, too, that Governor
Hill won his campaign in the face of the fact that
large majority of the most important federal
offices in New York are filled by Republican
oflce-holders and their heelers and these instru-
mentalities were solid for Davenport. Moreover
while Governor Hill had the sympathy of Presi-
dent Cleveland personally, he had not the slight
est assistance from the Democratic administra-
ton, such assistance as Democrat, laborng in
behalf OF the success of Democratic principles
had right TO expect But the assistance of the
Democratic administration was neither asked nor
expected, and the Democrats of New York
fought out the contest fairly and squarely. They
were not on the line of Republican sham civil
service reform, for their platform denounced
this, and Governor Hill has already taken occa-
sion to announce that his administration will
not be non-partsan. On the contrary he will
endeavor to carry out and confirm Democratic
principles by giving the people honest Demo
cratic government.
The Democratic victory shows that New York
is Democratic when the Democrats are united
and that Hill can unite them. The portents of
the time, so to speak. point to Hendricks and
Hill as the men for 1883.

A VISIT TO THE EXIIES
Mr. Thomas Tolliver old 'crony' Of r. B.
Pollard has been to Carada on a visit to those
emigrating gentlemen. He returned a day or
two ago. and gives some interesting
points regarding the famous bond swndlers.
He says: II was in Canada a little over a
week. and spent most of the time in London,
Ont, where I saw Charley Brown and John
Grlmsley, and Henry A. Thorpe, the trustee
who decamped from Harrison county. | also
spent three days with Pollard's brother III law,
G. w. Campbell, who is also at London, did
not see either Frank Pollard or his father, r B.

nor Carke butI am satisfied, from what heard
A, there, that Clarke is not in the Dominion. Some
kind friend a few weeks ago. conveyed him the
information that the Daviess county grand jury
was getting rendy to indict him for forgery, and
he pulled up stakes and got away to avoid being
extradited, forgery being of the crimes
covered by the extradition treaty. The trustees
are not doing anything just yet, but the three
mentioned-Brown, Grimsley and Thorpe-are
getting ready to engage in some kind of busi-
ness enterprise, but don't know what. Scarce
ly anyone in London, Ont knows that they are
the fugitive trustees from Indiana, and the few
who are aware of this fact don't interest them
selves any in the matter. am satisfied that no
one about the hotel where l stopped for week
knows anything about the antecedents of Brown,
Grimsley and Thorpe"
"How much money do you suppose they got
away withl"
al think the Pollards got nearly all Of it. and
from what l could learn. they have nearly or
quite 5000 900. Charley Brown has
$4,000 or thereabouts, and Grims-
ley has six seven thousand.
Clarke has no money TO speak of. Pollard and
his associates disappointed in their effort to
make big deal at Boston, where they expected
to unload half million dollars worth of the
fraudulent warrrnts but the snap was discov-
cred too soon."

would be endangered should they return to the

lieve that Charley Brown would have been here

ship, Gibson county, purchased, through its
trustee, q number of "telurians" and issued
the townships notes for the same. The teliuri-
ans were long time being delivered. and be-
fore the goods arrived the term of the trustee
who bought them expired and his successor
fatty refused to accept aud receive the teluri-
ans and when the notes came due, later on, re-
