alleged interview said to have been
bad with him in Ann Arbor, Mich, in

Mckinley bill, and saying he did not

uation in New York, Mr.. Reed said !:
1T looks to me as if we were going to
have strong republican victoryin New
York, extending to the city," Mr..
Reed, upon being told that Mr.. Straus
had formally withdrawn from the Tam
many city ticket as Mayor said /: "What
hope is there for the party now since
Mr.. Straus has withdrawn. 1t seems
to me that if 1 had been given carte
blanch in New York l could not have
fixed up the situation which would look
worse for the democrats. 4-expect to
see the next House republican and
elected with the great good will of a
portion of the democratic party"

AUDAcITY Is as effective in politics
as it is in war, and Senator Hill posses
SEES az much of it as any other man OF
modern times. He. in fact, is very
Napoleon in the political field. He has
an object to achieve, and he allows
nothing to stand between him and its
attainment. Men are nothing to him,
provided victory shall perch upon his
party's standard. He has already
forced the straight democratic organl-
cation in his State, Tammany, to obey
his orders, even to its own loss, and
there is hardly doubt that he will
compel the President to come to his
support before the 9th of next month.
He must win victory, or else no and
his whole party go down together.
With him there is no "dare not wait
upon l would" And the same spirit
that succeeds in war, succeeds in poll
tics. All good democrats, whether
they admire him or not, pray for bis
Success.

A Much.married Defendant

COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 19.-In the divorce
court here yesterday, Mary Knubbe
was a defendant, and her husband
Edward Knubbe, charged that she was
d habitual drunkard and an evil-dis-
posed woman, having on more than
one occasion caused him to suffer seri-
Gus illness by the preparation of un-
wholesome food. Among the witnesses
for the husband were four ex-husbands
of the woman and it developed in the
trial that three others are living in
Ohio. The ex-husbands told how they
had welded the woman and had tired
of their bargain because of her bad
habits.

DEMOCRATIC newspapers and promi-

of the country are saying they "be-
lieve," suppose" think" or "doubt
not" that Mr.. Cleveland will supper;

this before. A democratic majority IN
the next Congress and at the next
Presidential election probably depen-
dent upon the result of the State cleo
ton in New York, less than three
weeks off, and yet no word, nor even
an intimation, from the democratic
President, that he will lift his hand to
help the party that has three times
nominated, and twice elected him.

GOOD ROADS.

The good roads convention assembled
in Richmond yesterday with about
eighty delegates present. Judge Geo.
l.. Christian delivered the address ofwel-
come, after which some routine business
was transacted and the following OIL
GERS were elected Hon. S. Wexford Cor
bin, president; and vice presidents from
each of the popular divisions of the
State-Tidewater, NJ. Glennan; Middle
Virginia, DR.. ]. w. Southall; Piedmont.
George E. Murrell: Valley, NJ. Erskine
Miller; Appalachian, H. A. ellis; secre-
tary, r. A. Dunlop.
Upon taking the chair Mr.. Corbin
said that it requires money to make
roads; that money can be only obtain
ed by taxation, and that to secure the
sanction of the taxpayer of a road tax
education was necessary. He thought
that the Legislature should pass gem
eral road law authorizing vote to be
polled in each county upon the appli-
cation for the same of 100 voters (who
shall be freeholders) in the county.
The vote to be for or against the issue
of bonds by authority of the county
officials, and the bonds not to mature
for thirty years, and to bear per cent.
interest, the bonds not to be sold below
par, and the money derived to be sa-
credly used in the maintaining of the
roads in the county, to be constructed
by and at the expense of the State.
A number of interesting papers were
read.
Gen. Roy Stone, of the United States
Department of Agriculture, suggested
the plan of establishing several camps
of convicts at different quarries within
the State, where the stone for roads
could be broken, which, he said, would
cost only about six cents ton.
The body was made permanent or
ganzation under the name of 1.-THE

ation," and the following officers elect

JUDGING from a paragraph in the
GAzETTE's Washington correspondence
of yesterdays date, it seems that the
opposition of Senator Hill to the con-
firmation of some of the Presidents
nominations may be the true reason OF
the latter's hating support of the ticket
headed by the former-for it can hard
ly be supposed that he will postpone it
much longer. If that be so, it certain
Iy is remarkable way Of getting even,
as the defeat of the Senator would in
all probability be accompanied by the
election ola republican Congress and
be followed by the success OF the re-
publican Presidential ticket two years
hence.
