N. T. HerdcF, Sec and Treasurer Of
savings society, last week with revolv-

but Herrick knocked the fellow Gown,
but before he could get secure hold Of
him, he jumped through a window and
escaped. Three or four summary and
swift punishments for this dangerous
business, would very likely take the
nerve out Of some Of these fellows, many
of whom no doubt are genuine, level
headed crooks, who attempt their
crimes in the gaIb OF ''cranks." hoping
for some sentiment TO turn in their
favor if they arc caught and tried.
Short trials ard capital punishment
may prove a good panacea for the
present epidemic.
THE Atlanta Georgi Constitution does
not take kindly to President Cleveland.
II believes him to be vacillating in his
actions especially in regard to the sill
yer question. II does not understand
why 80 out of a democratic Senators
should on one day sign paper sgree-
ing to vote for compromise measure
which has received the sanction of Sec
retary Carlisle and Mr.. Cleveland, and
to which Mr. Cleveland gave his assent
in the presence of several democratic
senators. With these things before it
the Constitution is wholly at a loss TO
understand Why in few lays after. See
Dan Lamont came back from New York
and Senator Sherman called upon the
President, Mr. Cleveland, all at once.
stifiened his backbone and declared
himself first last and Away in favor of
unconditional repeal only. The Con-
stitution blames John Sherman with
the unconditional repeal and states that
he influenced the President to retract
his agreement to compromise 1t

the administration.
TIE republican victories of last cleo
ton are sweeping in their effects,
While the republicans were hopeful Of
success and the signs Of the times
were in their favor the most sanguine
were not prepared for the unprecedented
maiorities that doomed up Nov. 7th
The democrats are dumbounded at the
tremendous and unexpected change that
has come over the popular vote in one
short year. The fight in Ohio was
most determined. and strictly confined
to the great national issue of protection.
The candidates for governor were able
champions Of their respective theories
and both men Of ability, the one
credited with the authorship of the
tariff plank in the democratic national
platform and the other the leader in the
authorship Of the protective tariff
principles in the republican national
platform. liz the canvass, state issues
were lost sight Of or but lightly touched
upon. The tariff was the theme from
the time the campaign opened until the
close of the polls on election dav, and
what sweeping victory for republican
principles. No state in the union can
furnish better or fairer field for
test ofrepublican or democratic theories
in regard to protection With a popu-
lation of 100000, fairly DIVIDED in
agricultural, commercial and manu-
featuring purpose, it is the state in
which we may we'll look for a fair ex-
preston Of opinion as to popular will in
the settlement of this great question |
Three quarters of million of voters |
make good index, and with plurality |
of ever SO, 600 they shout for Mckinley |
and protection. Truly "The people
have spoken" and in ne uncertain tone.
Well may the present administration |
give up its dream of long tenure of
office Its hopes are blasted, and moth
ing but foolish action of republican
leaders and consequent dissension in
the ranks of the republican party will
ever again seat the democratic party
in high places, or give the reins of
government into their hands
