Douglas confesses that he does not be-
lieve Harrison can carry either New
York or Indiana" This is one of the
means used to try and influence voters
g the eve of an election, but Fortunate
this one at least will fail Of effect
Fred Douglass said in speeches in Con
necticut, since the false rumor was put in
circulation, that it was lie concocted
in New York City He further stated
that it was his candid opinion that Indi-
ana would give majority of from 10,-

leved that the Republican ,andidete for
president would beyond doubt be elected.
No Democratic paper has published re-
traction of the lie which they have been
inaustriously circulating. 1t is not their
style. Many will think they have
adopted the motto of the political scoun-
drel everywhere, which is: "All is fair

mass meeting were pretty set
to preach friendship for the poor
man. George Cotton has grown
rich on jobs, and put the tariff on the
poor men vine were drafted during tLs
war. Barnes Compton has liYed %
lie taxes of the poor people for twent
years or more, and John p. Rod

He Wore "StOrc, Clothes.

The penalty OF wearing store clothes
In Rabun county, Ga, Is death. Some
time ago the murder OF VIM. Thomas
In that county was reported. Yesterday
one of the murderers, Josh Hopkins,
was brought into the city, and he tells
3 curious story as to why the murder
was committed.
"Thomas came cavortin up to the
church," said he, ga wearing store
clothes. Us boys does not like to see
him taking the shine of US. So we
concluded to have little fun. We ask
ed him to take drink but he was too
uppity TO do 1t. My brother then threw
stone at him to see how he would
run, and he run sure enough. Then we
both ran after him, throwing stones al
ter him, thinking II was fun, when he
suddenly dropped down dead. II we
had not been drinking we would not
have done what we did. My brother
is to be hung on the 11th of May, and
l am now going to the coal mines for
life. I reckon will get use to 1t. l
will have to try anyhow. But never
did like man that wore store Clothes"
He has now gone to place where he
will not be troubled with the sight Of
store clothes.

A Novel Suit.

Several days ago Auditor Steel re-
ceived notification from the clerk OF
court Of st. James parish that Judge
Duffel, the judge of that district, had
kepta case under advisement and fail
ed to render decision within thirty
days as required by the act of 1884.
Under this act, on being thus notified,
ii is the duty of the auditor to with
hold a quarters salary from the detin-
quent judge and transfer II to the gen.
eral school funds. Auditor Steele,
however, was eDjoined from doing
this by JudgeiDufei, who on last We'd
nesday brought suit against him TO
mandamus him to issue q warrant for
the March salary. The papers were at
once forwarded to the Attorney Gen.
eral for defense. The plaintiff in his
petition alleges the unconstitutio onality
OF the act in question and sets forth
several grounds to sustain his position.
More than one of these Is quite strong
aud we should not be surprised II the
law, which can easily be used as a
means Of oppression and would hardly
ever be used to effect any good, would
after trial be declared unconstitutional

1ltei'ce.


1t is some three weeks since this
happened, and our Northern brother
who figured In the case Is away back
North trying to soil out to come South.
He came here four or five weeks ago,
went 10 the livery stable and hired .
good team and got a young man OF our
town to 60 over the country with him.
After several days travel together to
various points Of the compass around
the country, and becoming thoroughly
acquainted with each other, tho last
day out they stopped long enough at q
house to get dinner. After leaving the
house short distance. and perhaps
wsth some suspicion In his mind our
Northern friend said to his com mpanion,
(who was as fine looking specimen of
humanity as was ever seen, standing
about 6 feet, 3 inches, and weighing
about 1SO pounds), "My friend, we
have travelled together several days and
got pretty well acquainted, and as this
Is our last day out l want to make one
! request Of you, and 1t is this: want
TO see what they cali a sCreole.' have
heard and read so much about them I
am anxious to see one before I return
to the North" "Well, SIR" replied
his companion, 81 will show you one
as soon as we get back to town." When
they arrived in town, snd as they
alighted from the buggy, the tall fine
specimen OF humanity said: "Now
sir, just take good look at me. I am
a full-blooded Creole" Reader, YOU
can guess the fun that followed.
