A POLITICAL SURPRISE.

Thomas K. DuRn Defeated at the
 AssesaorA' Convention Because He
 Did Not Go Back on His Word
 Shannon, Spreyer and Neal the
 Nominees.
 The result of the Democratic sssessors' con- vention at Knights of Columbus hall last night was surprise to many. Thomas K. Dunn, who for fifteen years has been mem Der of the board of assessors, was defeated. It was done because MT. Dunn wonld not prove treacherous to his word, and rather than secure nomination by dishonest means he preferred defeat
 When the time came to talk ot nominees for assessors Charles Spreyer, also on the board, and MT. Dunn agreed that one would not work against the other, but that both would try to get the nomina- Town Agent Reynolds and he were on the same side, but they had falling out after ward and the town agent put George w. Neal, an attache of the almshouse, forward as 8 candidate. This, it was said, was to de- feat Dunn in the convention.
 William F. Shannon and Neal entered into a combination to secure the nomination. They invited Dunn to enter it, and in that way he could get there, but remembering his promise to Spreyer, he positively refused. He said he could go it alone
 F. F. Campbell was chosen chairman of last nights convention, and E. A. Joachim son secretary. The names of William F. Shannon, T. K. Dunn, Charles Spreyer, George W. Neal and E. A. Joachinson were named as candidates.
 An informal ballot was taken for first member of the board. MT. Shannon re- ceived GA and Dunn 15. The ballot was made formal and MT. Shannon was declared the nominee.
 The informal ballot for second member re- suited: Spreyer 43, Dunn 32, Neal 30, E. A. Joachinson 1, George Hitler 1. The nomi- nation of MT. Spreyer was made unani- nous.
 Mir. Joachinson withdrew his name and the ballot for third member was taken with the following result; Neal 49, Dunn 33 The nomination was made unanimous.

JOE JEFFERSON.

The performance of Mir. Jefferson in "Rip Van Wrinkle is conceded to be the highest presentation of stage art, the subtlest delin- cation of character, the triumph of dramatic effort. It is conceded to be the wholesomest and purest of theatrical pictures. It is ap- preciRted by countless thousands of people who crowd to each representation. What has been praised in MT. Jefferson is the ap- parent impossibility of gesture or posture that is not graceful. The power to make these posture pictures without suggesting for moment what we call the staguesque and the command of such tones that move to laughter are the gifts only of the supreme artist. In the afternoon to-day at the New Haven Opera House Jefferson gives us ''Crick- at on the Hearth" and 'sLend Me Five Shil- lings." In the evening Rip"

 mayor York VIII Probably be Renom- mated TO-Nfght-The Fight over the Town Agent @uestIOn-The Struggle For the City Clerkship-Last Nights Democratic COnventfon-A Big Polit- ical Surprise.
 The struggle for the supremacy among the local democracy continues unabated. Town Agent Reynolds is confessedly thus far mas- ter of the situation and his friends claim his renomination as an assured fact. He and his allies are. however, sparing no effort to make sure of both the nomination and the election. Tonight the Democratic city convention will take place and no doubt Mayor York will have cause to celebrate Thanksgiving night, as his renomination for the mayoralty is con ceded by many leading Democrats to be a of at Knights of Columbus Hall on Church street. The friends of F. s. Andrew, of whom he has many who want to see nim once more nominated for Mayor, are not pressing his claims at this time and MT. An drew has made no effort whatever in the di- rection of securing the nomination. The opposition to Mayor York's renomination comes largely from the Derby railroad sec- tion, the disaffection arising from Mayor York's action regarding closing Hill and La fayette streets. This opposition is not con- sidered powerful enough to affect the result A strong feeling is cropping out in town among Democrats of all grades in favor of running George M. Grant for Mayor, and if by any chance there should be 'sdark horse'' tonight Grant will be the man, so say infu- ential and well posted Democrats.
 The Democratic contest for the city clerk ship is matter of considerable size and both Shanley and Downes claim to be ahead. It will probably take some work before the con- vention and some balloting at the convention to decide this question.

Advices to the Baltimore Sun state
that a mortgage on hundreds of thou
sands of acres of farming land in South
Carolina, in favor of the Corbin Bank
ing Company, of New York, and the
Scottish Land Company, natures soon,
and there is much discussion as to
whether something cannot be done to
prevent foreclosure, by which the
land would pass into the hands of
these alien companies. The rate of
interest on the mortgage is from 10 to
20 per cent, and the farmers, in nine
cases out of ten, are unable to pay the
principal.

WHY THIS

Why is it there should be a com
bined effort by some men to try to
thwart the Farmers Alliance in its
undertakings and in the pursuit of the
rights that are its as by right, while
all other. classes are organized for their
protection and to benefit themselves ?
And then, to deny the farmers and
laboring classes the same privilege,
and to try to place the men who feed
the world on the schedule as a cipher
is not correct. The farmers and
laboring men of Texas are organized
and will perpetuate their organizations,
and do not intend to cripple the in
terests OF, any one, but when the bank
ers and merchants try to throttle and
overthrow the institutions and try to
make the Farmers Alliance a by
word, they will find themselves sadly
disappointed.
All laboring men are equally inter-
ested, and should not be slow to show
how they stand. The time for iron
clad notes has passed, and justice de-
uld1uo a. CudISo oi1u S0iiOIol I0IOI
nation. Monied monopolies and
powers have drove all laboring men to
the point where they cannot be iden-
tilted as a part of the honored inhabit-
ants of the American Republic.
Outside of organized bodies, we
will suppose for an instance, that all
the farmers of America should say
that we will quit work for one year,
who would be the men that would
howl 2
There should be nothing but the
best of feelings between labor and
capital, and if it was not for a lot of
professional blood suckers and dema-
gogues that never labor themselves,
but are always watching for something
to turn up for their own relief, there
would be no trouble.
Men haveA been debating to and
advising laboring men and living off
of laboring men so long they hate to
turn loose. Look close and see if you
cannot see where the wrong is

Will do for Cancer.
Cancer Cured---Read.
R1NGwooD, N. c., May, 1887.

MRS. JOE Person:
Dear Madam Most gladly do I give
you my name to place before the public,
bearing testimony Of the miraculous cure
effected on me by your most valuable
Remedy. Fifteen years ago | was troubled
by what seemed to be little scales ap-
pearing on the right side of my cheek
under the eye, resembling dry meal bran,
which I could remove when [ shaved, but
they would return again in a short time.
Soon an enlargement appeared under the
same eye, attended with itching and
burning sensations, and sharp, darling
pains from the affected place to the eye,
causing great difficulty in closing h eye,
even to Sleep. Sometimes it would feel
better, but never at any time disappear.
Some physicians pronounced 1T eczema,
others chronic erysipelas, and all advised
me to let 1T alone. This I did until two
years ago, when a little scab began to
form right under the eye, resembling a
wart, which I could not remove; in size
and appearance it soon grew to be as large
as a strawberry, and the scab came OFT
and left the place entirely raw. Having
fear of a cancer, I began to use various
kinds of salves to heal it up, but never
could. I consulted with physicians of
great experience; they said it looking
Suspicious of it, and advised me to have it
cut or burnt at once. Ibid not wish to do
either; and being persuaded it was in my
blood, I resolved to try your Remedy, as
it had been recommended to me. l did
so with the most happy results. [ can say
I am q WeU man. I cannot say too much
for your Remedy. It is worth it's weight
in gold. Before I had used one bottle [
was hopeful, and at the expiration of five
weeks the sore was entirely healed, the
scales and roughness of the skin all gone,
and left me anew man. Twill give any
one similarly affected any further infor-
nation they may desire, and can only say,
if the public will give your Remedy a
trial, it will speak for itself, and your sue
cess will know no bounds. God speed
the day that must dawn upon your future
prosperity! Yours most truly,
