a Great gemosranoe Convention.

The national convention Of the Woman,s
Christian Temperance Union of the United
States. which will be held in Atlanta
tits year, beginning on Nov. IA,
promises to be a notable affair. Il has
never before been held so far south, and as
the interest in the south throughout the
northern and western states is very general.
it is probable that all the 600 delegates will
te present Besides the delegates there will be
many visitors who are interested in the
cause OF temperance, and in the work of
this particular tempera c. organizat on.
There are in this organic ltion s pms of the
m st Influential wo nen in the country, aud
it has the sympathy and support Of very
many wealthy aud prominent people. Pro
found interest is felt in the convention, Id
its proceedings will be closely watched in
all parts of the country.
There is only one thing that threatens to
mar its ha mony, and that is the
p essence of Mrs. ). Ellen Foster and
her friends. 1t is well known that the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union is a
non-partisan organic Ition; that is, it does
not take an active part in politics, but seeks
the aid OF all parties IN its work. NJ s.
Foster and those who follow her lead wi h.
drew from the union and formed another
organization which they call a non-partisln
one. II Mrs. Foster is quoled correctly
however, in an interview ia the Chica 20
Tribune of Oct. last, she is good deal of
partisan. In that iterview she is quoted
as saying that she is republi-
can, and that republicans every where
believe that the force bill ''shoulds have
been made a law in time to have been in
operation at the time of the coming con-
gressional election"
It is understood that the Fosterites have
chosen delegates to tine Atlanta convention,
aud the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union people are apprehensive that they
will try to make trouble. If they are in
favor of the TO. ce bill they will not find
much sympathy in Alta ia or Georgia.

to convict the al who assassinafed Clayton
Mr. Bref siuridec no doubt referred TO this in
lsralation 10 his statement yesterday.
Governor Eagle has been quietly at work
for months following up theory regarding
the terrible crime. and il Is said that his Ia
bors have been amply rewarded Just why
az arrest has not been made is a fnstter AT
present not understood ontside ofthe Execu-
tive department. It is believed, however,
that the man throught to be the assassin is
under constant surveillance.
NOT POLITICAL CRIME.
1t is thought that az an early period in the
investigation by the committee from Con-
greSs Governor Etgle Will lay The evidence
he has secured before the members and the
arrest will probably be made then. il is
claimed that the evidence wiil be all that is
necessary to convince the public that the as
ssssiuaiion was not OF political nature. The
evidence on hand. it is said, will show that
the assassin believed Clayton TO be Ex-Gov-
ernor Powell CLAYTON. and fired the shot be-
lieging that lie was about TO eyenge the
death Of relative, whose life was taken in
1868 by Clayton's militia.
