A special to the AppeaI-AvaIanche of
last Tuesday, says: 'Quite an amusing
incident occurred when the train
stopped at Amory, Miss, 20 min .
utes to change engines. Gen. Weav-
Ell, who was on the train, took advantage
OF the occasion to speak to crowd on the
platform" When he had finished, lady
on the train raised her window and said
''Gentlemen, this man, Gen. Weaver is
the man who, during the war, robbed ev-
i,,t ho C4o+o fou =.
his line of march. I know this to be so,
for he stole two pounds of butter from me.
Do not listen to him, but 60 and vote the
democratic ticket straight Her words
were greeted with great cheering and Gen.
Weaver drew in his head and had no more
to say.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat, republi-
can, had the following editorial before the
Maine election: 1.-THE figures in the COM
Ing election in the Pine Tree State will be
considered fair reflex of sentiment
throughout the whole of New England. In
recent presidential years the republican
lead for Governor has been about $4,000 OIL
$4,000. In 1884 it was the larger figure and
in 1888 the smaller. If it falls much be
low $4,000 the country will assume that the
| republicans are not holding their own in the
Northeast, but if it goes above $4,000 the
exhibit will be favorable to the party. The
plurality in that event will indicate thai
the administration has helped the party,
and that the ticket is going to obtain a
handsomer Endorsement than was accorded
to it in 1888, when it swept all New Eng
land except Connecticut
The Democratic Convention of the Sec
Ond Congressional District convened at
Newport News September 14th and nomi-
mated D. Gardner Tyler for Congress. The
action of the convention was received with
great enthusiasm.
Among the visitors at the National Re.
publican headquarters last week, were Gen.
Michener and J. n. Houston, of Indiana
They said that while Illinois and Wiscon-
sin needed attention, Indiana, New York
New Jersey and Connecticut would, with
out doubt, decide the election. They dep
recated all expenditures III Alabama, the
Virginias and the Carolinas. The Force
Bill issue alone, would save the solid South
to the Democracy.
The New Y DIRK Recorder is now printed
on medicated paper. This is working the
cholera scare for all it is worth. The med
ication and disinfection of the paper on
which the news is printed is very well as
far as it goes; but if the Republican party
news that that paper sends out could he also
disinfected and deodorized great forward
leap would have been taken toward millen-
NAL conditions.
The Kolb Executive Committee of Ala
bama, and that Of the Peoples party, re-
Gently issued call for joint State con-
vention. This is to take place to day, and
the candidates, for Congress and president
ial electors are to be put up. There is a
report current that the Republican electo-
raj ticket is to withdraw in favor of the
Fusionists. This is denied Ivy the leading
Republicans.
Messrs. Mott and Harris, two of the re-
publican leaders of North Carolina, have
come out openly against the Republican
