ATLANTA, GA. OCTOBER 30, 1883.
The Congtitution and the Election.


The presidential campaign will virtually
close with the present week, during which
time we may look for some OF the most in
teresting developments which have ever
characterized presidential election in this
country.
During this week we may look for an in
teresting succession Of events In which both
parties vii II appear at thsir best, and the
effect Of tho weeks work will bear strongly
upon the determination Of the result of the
election.
There are two pivotal points from which
the whole contest viii be watched Indian
apolls and New York; the former being The
battle ground Of Indiana, and the latter the
center around which will be fought the
great battles In Now York, New Jersey and
Connecticut. In these states the decisive
battles will take place, and the remarkable
activity which has characterized the move
mcnts of both parties in these states
throughout the campaign indicates the inn
portance and magnitude of the final conflict.
The eyes of the whole country are centered
on those two points, and every detail of the
contest, which transpires at either place
between now and Tuesday next, VIII be
watched with the deepest interest
The CONSTITUTION has long been fore
most among southern newspapers In the
completeness and the efficiency of news
service. Its work in the elections Of 1880
and 1884 is well remembered, ithavlng been
enabled to announce, by the thoroughness
of Its service, ahead of any other southern
newspaper, the news ofthe election of Cleve-
land four years ago. Our representatives
were at every point of the contest, and the
trustworthiness Of our reports were estab-
nshed by the official announcement of the
result.
THE CONSTITUTION win eclipse Its record
this year. having made arrangements to pre-
sent to our readers every detail of the final
scenes and results as quick as tho telegraph
wires can bring them to our office.
Mr.. Clark Howell, whose reports of the
ST, Louis and the Chicago conventions were
the most complete published by any south
era newspaper, and as full as those of any
paper in the country, will leave early in the
week for New York, from which point he is
instructed to cover the states of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut In the com
pletest manner possible, and at whatever
expense necessary 10 mako THE CoNsrlru-
mons report as thorough and as trust
worthy as possible. Mr.. L. j. Moran,
whose special work on political and other
topics has made him so wen known to the
readers OF TnE CONSTITUTION, is already
In Cincinnati, on his way to Indianapolis,
at which point he will review in the fullest
measure the gigantic struggle now going on
In Indiana.
No man in Georgia, who desires to keep
abreast with the news and gossip of the
campaign, can afford TO be without THE
CONSTITUTION from now until after the
election. Our special kilograms alone viii
cost the Office more than those of all other
southern papers combined, between New
Orleans and Baltimore; and the expense
which THE CONSTITUTION viii be put 10,
in reporting the election as we propose to
do IL, will be more than that of all other
papers in this territory. This is an enor-
NOUS claim, but we mean just what we say.
THE CONSTITUTION has never yet disap.
pointed its readers, and proposes to meet
their expectations this time
