CARTER GIVES FIGURES.
He Says That Republicans Have

NEW YORK, Oct. 5l.-Chairman Carter,
who appears 20 set particularly bright pros
poets on this State, said ." In the opinion of
the members Of the Executive Committee,
the election Of Harrison is assured. Our
belief is not based on hope, but absolute
knowledge OF the conditions prevailing in
the so-called close States. We feel certain
that we have 2ll electoral votes outside Of
Indiana, New York, New Jersey, Connecti-
cut ard West Virginia. In The West We are
not admitting the possible loss Of any votes,
except four in Michigan, which viii be cast
for Cleyeland, and il Nevada. Ehichwil 90

we viii carry al n ne electors, although four

West Virginia. In this STATE We have every
reason for confidence"

Indiana be lost the Democrats hope that

consultation with Mr.. Carter and Ms. Man

A number OF Republicans on the Produce
Exchange to-day put up 5000 even, on New
York in small bets. Betting on the general
result continues even.
A very ugly feeling has grown up between
the State and National campaign nansgers.
1t IS now apparent that Cleveland will be
cut by not only 10000 county Independent
Democrats, but by many straight Demo
erals, who are disgusied with the manage

One ofthOse, who in former year. was very
close TO Governor Hill, said to-day. "Hill

whole town and its people in Chihuahua,

Of the religious fIuaticism that has prevail

to its wallow,7 and how the South domi-
mates aud controls the policy Of the DEM
ocratic party is we'll exemplifed by the
course OF that organization in regard to
the protection OF American industries.
In 1892, the Democrats Of South Caro-
lima, under the lead ofJohn c. Calhoun,
then the leading spirit of the Democratic
party, attempted to nullify the Act of
Congress providing for the protection Of
domestic manufacturers, and nothing but
the threat Of Andrew Jackson to hang
the leading conspirators brought them to
their senses. Here IS the ordinsnc. of
nullifcation pissed by the SOu h Caroli-
na con.ention
Whereas, The Congress of the United
States, by various acts, pnrpOrting 20 be
acts laying duties and impOsts on foreign
imports, but in reality intended for the
protection Of domestic manufacturers,
etc, hath exceeded its Just powers
nnder the Constitution.
We, therefore, the people Of the State
Of South Carolina, in convention assem-
bed, 90 declare and ordain, and it is
hereby declared and ordained that the
several acts and parts Of acts ofthe Con-
press OF the United States purp0rting 10
5e Laws for the imposing Of duties aud
imposts on the importation of foreign
commodities. etc, are unathoriz-
ed by the Constitution of the United
states, and violate the true meaning aud
intent thereof, and are null, void, and no
law
When the Southern States seeded
in 1851, aud the Constitution the Con-
federate States vas adopted, Article l,

the following

How Dlgnitariss We're Brought.
From the Chicago Herald, October sd, lss2-
One Of the most important and successful
features in Connection with The dedicatory
exercises Of the Worlds Fair grounds, and
one which fully illustrates the wonderful
progress which our country has made with
in the last half century, was the movement
made By the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany of The cabine, officers, the supreme
court justices. and the diplomatic corps from
Washington to this city and back. II re
quired three special trains 10 perform this
function, and Vice President Frank Tbom-
son, 10 whom the credit of the achievement
is due. made requisition On the Pullman
Palace Car Company for the finest equip
nent which those famous car builders could
produce. The result was triple section
train such as has never before glided over
the rails in any country. : crew Of twenty
I've persons, including stewards, cooks,
walters. porters, maids. electricians, and
machinists, in addition to the usual quota
of trainmen, was required 10 insure proper
service. The outfit reseEnbled in some
what lessened degree the personal equip
Ineut OF an ocean greyhound, of which the
trains were duplication on land,
These trains were provided and tenderd
for the use Of the distinguished guests Of
Chicago by Vice President Thomson. They
were run from Washington 10 Chiesgo as
sections Of the regular Chicago Limited,
Of which they were duplicates, and they
ooniormed to the regular schedule Of that
train. With the thorough organization
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and
It's splendid system they came through the
entire distance, on the special schedule time
arranged for them, without accident or delay
Of any kind, and this in the face OF en- ex-
traordinarily increased passenger traffic
The great line is in such excellent physical
condition, so well protected by the safeguards
of modern invention. and 50 perfectly man
aged by corps Of men who have been
educated and trained under the eyes Of its
high officials, that a movement Of this kind,
extraordinary as it may appear to the public
was effected without interfering in any man
ner with the routine of everyday traffic.
1t is safe to say that while no other
country in the world would be able 10 move
the entire organization OF lis government a
distance Of one thousand miles, 50 there is
no ether railroad company which could
grapple with such problem and solve il
with the ease 70 the persons interest and tie
credit TO itself that has distinguished this
achievement Of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Il reflects the utmost credit on Yioe-P President
Thomson, xho pisuned, and his associates,
who executed the brilliant feat Of railroad
transportation, and holds out a bright
promise Of equally successful work when
the resources o; this line Eill be drawn upon
next year TO furnish adequate transportation
facilities 10 the hosts who viii visit the
worlds greatest fair.
