Campaign Rumors.
Nlicago News

Now the campaign rumors i'y thick
and fast. Now the timerou- candi-
date fears that every bush hides IA
Burchard. Both sides make extrava-
CANT claims. The newspapers of each
party prove conclusIVely every day
that the opposition Is beaten beyond
all hope. II j. "a time oil panic, OF
over-coniidence, and Of colossal lying.
Delightful indeed l. the thought that
the election il near AT hand and that
it will put n period to the frenzy OF the
partisans.
The quarrel. OF the New York demo-
Gratis are the most fruitful source Of
gossip at present Many supporters
OF the two democratic candidates fOr
mayor OF that city are said 10 he
ready to trade off Cleveland for votes
on the local ticket. The republican
nominee for mayor is said to he fully
aware that he il a mere iigurehead put
up to lie traded of for Harrison votes.
The old stories of trrachery To the
national ticket 10y Hill democrats are
still in circulation. COY. Hill IL re-
ported to have bet 81 900 To 500
that Cleveland will be beaten. lie Is
also said to have declared that tn,
democrats have no chance of success
IN Indiana.
How much truth * there in these
rumorsy The newspapers publish
them and somebody is responsible for
putting them in circulation. Still,
they are only n sample of the reports
which fly about in every part of the
country. The democrats are claiming
all the doubtful states and Michigan,
Illinois. Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Nevada, and California. There is
mOdesty for you, But these claims
are scarcely more eXtravagant than
some made by the republicans.
The people may rest assured that
there is going to be no landslide this
year There has been "a very unusual
amount OF changing between the
parties, but these changes offset each
other in large measure. New Jersey
will probably go democratic. New
York, Connecticut, and Indiana will
decide the presidential question 10y
small pluralitie,. This is as far as
any one can safely go in predicting the
result of the November voting.

carlisle's Narrow Escape.

Speaker Carlisle had n very narrow
escape the other night on his way up
from Lexington. Va, where he had
gone to speak for young st. George
Tucker, son OF John RandolphTucke
who is running for Congress in his
fathers old district. The Speaker was
sitting near the end OF the passenger
car which had been hitched on at the
end OF long freight train. AS it was
running through a cutting, the loco
motive and hall OF the freight cars
having passed, a big boulder rolled
down from the hillside and fell just
outside the track. Ii it had fallen on
the train oreven little further on the
track the pa ssenger car would certainly
have been wrecked, and the people in
it would have been seriously il not
fatally hurt. As it was, the ragged
edge OF the boulder tore off the steps
of the cars and everything else that
was low enough. just before the pass
enger car came along piece OF the
boulder broke of and fell on the track
and the wheels went humping over il q.
Every body in the car was bounced up
in the air; one lady tainted, but no
one was hurt.
