good example to their brethren Of other
States. Their State Convention simply re-
affirmed the national platform of 1888. AS

certainly will not He told me that he in.
tended that the new Administration should
not pnt as many negroes in Office as Cleve-
land had. No, sir, nobody in the South

says emphatically that the negroes shall
not have the Offices" "You think then,
Cnlouel, that the new Administration will
be headed by James G. Blaine, President,

Colonel Allen, ''but of course Blaine will

Special reports to the Manufacturers Rse-

From Maryland to Texas there is genera
awakening. and not only are hundreds of
new industrial enterprises being projected
every week, but great railroad operations
are being pushed forward, and extensive
building schemes of all kinds, Including the
erection of large stores and warehouses,
splendid dwellings,, fiue hotels and small
c,ttages almost by the hundred, are receiv-
ing full attention. Noythern CAPITALISTS
are turning heavy investments south ward,
and the Star of Empire no longer moves

is destined to grow still greater during the
next few months

road through western Carolina, Virginia
