a st. Paul
Beauty.


paper says: He is a tall, brOad-shoul-
dered man. with silvery gray hair and a
luxriant black mustache. Maj. Bacon
has had his eye OH the gubernatorial
chair in his state for several years, and
he was Gov. G0rdon's opponent when
he made his first canvass for the Office,
The campaign was one of the most in
teresting ever witnessed in the state.
Both Gov. Gordon and the major had
daughters of the same age, and the
young voters got into an an
MATED discussion as to their rela-
tive claims to superior beauty.
The papers took up the debate, and
soon problems of state were forgotten
in the critical yet gallant analysis of
compilations. forms, etc. 1t was termed
the war of the roses, and every young
man in Georgia was enlisted on one side
or the other. Miss Bacon wore the red
rose, and Gov. Gordon's daughter the
white-petaled flower. Young men went
about with the respective insignia of
their devotion conspicuously displayed
in their IapeIs. Gov. Gordon won, but
Mss Bacon was not forgotten. She re-
ceived handsome tribute from her
legion of admirers.

Northwestern Traffic alliance may
hasten the contamination of a yet great
er railroad alliance between the C. B. &
O., 9. B. & N. and the Manitoba west of
Chicago, with the Pennsylvania railroad
system east of Chicago. President Hill,

a union. and the recent heavy buying of
G. b. d @. by large bank interests in
New York has been with this end in
view. This will be a great step in the

by northern republican newspapers to the
psopIo of Virginia to support General Ma

State on honorable terms. These same
identical newspapers, few yeers ago, when
the Virginia democrats were trying to settle
the debt on terms acceptable to the credit
ors, did all they could to defeat them, and
to aid General Malone in bis effort to repu
diate the debt.
