This Year.
Mrs. Lease Denies the Statements Cred.

NEW YoRK, Oct. 1o The Herald
prints an interview with Mr.. James Ct.
Blaine in which the latter says:
From what have seen and heard !
am inclined to believe that the Republi-
can chances for success are particularly
cheerful. In the campaign OF argument
and discussion, such as this has been,
everything is in our favor for we have
by far the better sides of the great
questions before the people. Besides
this, President Harrison has given the
country an able administration and one
that appeals TO the people by whatever
standard it may be tested. The admin
istration is in itself one Of the greatest
arguments for President Harrison's re-
election.
'All that Is now needed to insure q
Republican victory, and the continua-
tion OF prosperity throughout the coun-
try, Is for the Republican voters to cast
their ballots. With our full strength
out we regard our success as almost
certain.
while there has not been 90 much
excitement as in other campaigns, dc
not think that Is any proof Of lack Of
interest In the election. It is the natural
result of the manner In which the cam
paign IL being conducted. People are
reading more and thinking moro, and
not making 90 much noise about it.
They are just az earnest as ever, a. the

CHICAGO, Oct. ~. Only few more
blocks to decorate, and then Chicago
win be dressed in her Csst In honor Of
the coming festivities. Millions OF
flags began Monday to practice the well
coming they are meant to futter to all
the good people who are coming to cele.
brate the dedication Of the big fair.
People wondered at the myriads oi
bright little banners dancing in the
morning sunlight They had been put
In position during the night. The ban
ners represented every spot under the
sky. The stars and stripes, Of course,
were everywhere, and particularly on
the highest fagstaffs. In the decorar
tions compliments are paid to all the
nations Of the earth and to some lands
that once were nations and have q notion
of being nations again, but the stars and
stripes are everywhere in the place OF
honor, away up at the top. Chicago
looks like brand new town. The
transformation is extraordinary. Busi-
ness houses that on Sunday looked dull
and gloomy are turned as If by magic
into bright beauty spots, resplendent
with rainbow coloring.
Many store proprietors were holding
back, fearful of the weather. Al good
deal Of the stuff used in decorating il
not very fast in the matter of color, and
rain storm would we'll nigh destroy it.
Tke sunshine reassrred the managers,
and in an hour after dawn thousands oil
men were spreading streamers from
point to point, wrapping columns with
terra Gotta. catching up frills, founces
and festoons, putting shields in place,
and putting high over all the banner Of
the nation.
This is particularly true of the ronte
TO be covered by the great parade, still
the decorations are by nomeans confined
to the line of march. The less favored
thoroughfares are vieing with each other
In producing happy effects.

THE STARS FELL.
An Interesting Remlniscence Of Won.

From the Atldntd (Ga.) Herald.


From the Atlanta (Ga.) Herald
The predictions coming from all Of the
observatories throughout the country that
on Sunday night, next, there will be
shower OF stars. and possibly collision With
a comet, has brought up memories of the
wonderful display Of 1888 when the stars
fell and many people thought the world was
coming to an end.
Senator Wright of the First dis
trict says he was but child on that MEM
orable night, but has never forgotten the
sight, and never will.
His father, he says, was aroused by one of
his negroes, who had a weakness for strong
drink
The negro informed him that the stars
were falling, but his mother thinking him
drunk ordered him away. In a few minutes
every negro on the plantation was calling
him.
MY father thought the whole crowd was
drunk" said the senator, but one look at
the heavens was enough, and he began
dressing.
HE was badly frightened and what added
to his excitement was that his trousers
could not be found. He wanted to escape
somewhere, but had to go without his lower
garments"
Senator w. A. Reeves of the Thirty Sec
ond district says he has a very clear re-
rnembrance OF that night, when he and his
parents thought the last of the world had
come.
''Our neighbors." ne said, "caIIed my
father about midnight and he awoke the
family.
''My mother exclaimed the end has come,
the hour is here.'
The whole world looked as IL it was a
mass Of flame and as far as the eye could
see there was a blaze of fire in the heavens.
at was a terrible sight," he continued
and one that will always remember"
Hon. j. Troup Taylor. journal clerk of the
Senate, says bis father was travelling at the
time between Lumpkin and Burke counties.
De had a number OF negroes with him
and when night came the party camped out.
In few hours his father was awakened and
seeing the light thought day was breaking
and called to his negroes to prepare TO move.
While they were preparing to leave the
shower of stars began and there was a wild
scene in that camp.
Negroes ran terror-stricken into the
woods and were too badly frightened to be
controlled until the wonderful phenomenon
had ceased.
