great trust. but you can make him wish
he had never been born. and so there is no
chance that any presidential eiector viii
vote for another than the nominee of his
own party.
This procedure ends the responsibility
OF the presidential electors II neither
Harrison nor Cleveland should obtain a
majority Of the 444 votes in the electoral
college, the presidential election would go
before the present house of represents
tives. and as that body is Democratic by
two-thirds majority, on vote by states
Mr.. Cleveland would certainly be elected.
II the electoral college should not give
majority to any Of the candidates for
vice president the present senate would
certainly elect Whitelaw Reid to that
office. because the Republicans are now in
the majority in the senate. 1t is absolutely
certain that either Harrison or Cleveland
will be elected this time, and if by any
misfortune the election should be thrown
into the house of representatives there can
be no possible doubt that Cleve and would
be chosen by that body.

SURE AND DOUBTFUL STATES.

It will take 223 votes to make q majority
in the electoral college. The states which
seem reasonably sure for the Democrats,
according 10 experience, are: Alabama IL,
Arkansas 8, Florida T. Georgia Is, Ken
lucky IL. Louisiana s, Maryland s, Michi-
gan (part) 4, Mississippi 9, Missouri IL,
New Jersey 10, North Carolina IL. South
Carolina 9, Tennessee Il. Texas Is, vir-
GINA u; total, 164.
The Republican states are: California
9. Idaho 3, Illinois "a, Iowa Is, Kansas 10.
Maine 6, Massachusetts Is. Michigan 10,
Minnesota 8, Montana 3. Nebraska 8, New
Hampshire 4, North Dakota 8, Ohio %,
Oregon 4, Pennsylvania 80. Rhode Island
4, South Dakota 4. Vermont 4, Washing
ton 4, Wisconsin Il, Wyoming 8; total,
2O7.
This leaves in the doubtful column ::
Connecticut 8, Colorado 4. Delaware 8, Ne
vada 8, New York sc. Indiana Is, Yves.
Virginia g.; total 70.
The Republicans will need sixteen votes
under that calculation. Connecticut, West
Virginia and Colorado would furnish
them, New York would do 1t alone, and
allow the loss of one or two Western
states. Indiana and any one of the doubt
full states would do it. But the Democrats
need ffty-nine votes to elect their eandi-
dates in the electoral college. New York
and Indiana would do il. They must
needs carry at least four of the states put
in the doubtful column, including New
York and Indiana.

HOPS AND THE TARIFF.

The importations of foreign hops for the
year previous TO the operation Of the Nc
Kiniey tariff act, namely. from September
l, 1889, to September 1, 1890, amounted to
6.6S1, ss5 pounds: for the year succeeding
the passage of the Mckinley act, from
September 1. 1890. to September I, 1891. to
only 1907, 79l. and for the second year sue
ceeding the passage of the Mckinley act,
from September 1, 1891, to September 1.
1892. to only 2.469, 240 pounds. There has
thus been q reduction in the COM
petition of foreign hop growers with
American hop growers amounting to
over 100000 pounds. The farmers
of course, have derived great pecuniary
benefit from this reduction in the amount
of competition on the part of foreign hop
growers. Thus the crop of 1889. the year
before the Mckinley act was passed,
amounting to 100000 pounds, only
brought in to the hop growers the sum of
s4,056, 497. whereas the year after the Nc
Kinley act was passed, from $1,000, 900
pounds of hops the farmers received SILL
l02. l24, difference in favor Of Mckinley
prices amounting to $7,o45. 627.

In this issue appears an interesting tele-
gram from Grafton. W. Va, which ex-
plains the dodge which Mr. Snively made
in order 20 work up sympathy in his old
home and secure Endorsements which he
could not otherwise obtain.
As soon as the telegram from John T.
MoGraw. of Grafton, was published by
Mr.. sniyely. the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES de-
eiared it's belief that Mr. Snively had tele-
graphed to Grafton a false statement of
the charges made against him; had, in
fact, wired that an attack was being made
upon his family record, and had asked for
expressions of disnprroyal OF such an
attack.
The telegram published from Grafton
this morning shows that the Posr.Isrsl-
IiGEScKg was correct in its s0rmise. Mr..
Sniveiy, il seems. telegraphed to his
friends At Grafton that he had been
charged with bicamy, and asked for ex-
pressions from them in regard to tina;
chsrge. This shows the desperation TO
which the Democratic candidate has been
driven. He was never accused of bigamy
by anybody, aud nobody but himself
ever dreamed of presenting such s.
charge. No attack has ~ sny time been
made upon his family and no comment
has been made on his family life For
him TO attempt 30 work up sympathy in
his old home on the plea that such an al
tack has been made is contemplate.

PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Aug. 10.

To the People of Tennessee
That there is an insurrection in the
mining districts of the State is a fact
well known to the public. AS many
wild rumors and sensational reports
have gained circulation, deem it wise
at present to make the following state
ments in brief to the public: A COM
plete and detailed account, according
to the records on file in this office of
these troubles, will be hereafter made
public. Information was received at
this Office August 13 that Tracy City
branch prison had surrendered to the
miners and the stockade was burned.
On Sunday, August IA, the Superintend-
of Prisons ordered an additional war
den and guards to reinforce Inman
stockade. On Monday, August Is, re-
liable information was received that
the stockade at Inman was threatened
with an attack. The Sheriff of the
county of Marion was ordered to sum
mon posse and protect the stockade,
bnt failed to execute the order, and the
stockade was captured by miners. The
stockade was attacked by the miners
who were repulsed, but it finally capit-
ulated to an overpowering force. Fear
ing similar outbreak at Oliver Springs,
without waiting for official informa-
ton, at once telegraphed the Sheriff
of Morgan County to summon large
posse and protect the stockade. at.
The nearest military forces, the Chat
tanooga and Knoxville companies,
were ordered at once to go to the scene
of action. l ordered the Sheriffs of
Hamilton and Knox Counties to sup
plement the regular troops by 500 men
each, and the Sheriffs of Shelby and
Davidson to furnish 1000 men each,
and the Sheriffs of other counties to
furnish their respective quotas. Or
dered General Carnes, with the forces
at his disposal, to proceed as rapidly as
possible to Coal Creek and disperse the
mob. l have entire confidence in the
skill and bravery of General Keller
Anderson, who is in command of the
State forces at Coal Greek, and occul
pies strongly fortified position. The
last official reports were that General
Carnes, with a strong force, had reach
ed within few miles OF Coal Creek.
On Wednesday, August II, having
obtained reliable information of the
strength of the miners and their purpose
to attack the State troops at Coal Creek,
l ordered the entire military forces of
the State to concentrate at Knoxville
under the command Of General S. T.
Carnes, Brigadier General National
Guards of the State of Tennessee.
have every reason to believe that the
insurrection will soon be quelled. To
render this result certain additions al
forces are being sent as reinforcements
as rapidly as they can be assembled
and transported. Some Sheriffs and
citizens have gallantly made voluntary
offers of assistance, and have been
gladly received. 1t is the purpose of
the executive department to use every
power conferred ON it by the constitu-
tion and the laws to restore order and
preserve the maintenance of law. I
therefore call on every patriotic citizen
to hold himself in readiness, in case
his services should be needed.
JOHN P. BUCHANAN, Governor.
