about it. The Republicans have always
been able to settle their own matters
and they will settle this one, and the

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Republican Presidential
Plenty.

republican Presidential Timber
Plenty.
Cincinnati Commercial (Rep.).
The Republican party is as full of
good Presidential timber as an Indiana
forest is of Spanish needles. Throw
a stone into any gathering of promi-
nent Republicans and it would knock
the hats off of at least half dozen
Presidential possibilities. They are
found in almost every State Of the
Union. especially every Northern State.
Their initials run through the entire
alphabet. They are found on the
shores of the Atlantic, and ON the far
Pacific coast, and they are thickly
scattered over the intermediate country.
Never in the history of the country
has any party been 80 well supplied with
good timber out of which President
could be made as is the Republican
party of to-day. There will be no
necessity for taking dark horse. In
fast there are 40 dark horses in the
Republican party at this writing.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28th, 1884,
Although Senator Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, does not carry his dislike of
the newspaper man in search of an in
terview to the extent of contemptu-
ously referring t. him as one Of 'them
d literary fellows" as his distin-
guished father once did, he dislikes
being interviewed for publication SO
much that he very rarely meets such a
request favorably. This fact is well
known to the takers who have been
writing so much tom foolery about the
political partnership formed between
Senators Jones, of Nevada, and Came
ron, to promote the organization of a
new party with only two principles
the free coinage of silver and protec-
tion-which is TO nominate Senator
Cameron for the Presidency in 1896.
The builders Of the story, or series of
stories, counted upon Senator Came
ron's publicly expressed silver opinions,
his friendship with Senator Jones, and
every mans willingness to become
President, to give an air of probability
to their stories, and, judging from let
ters received in Washington from all
sections, they did not count in vain.
These stories were first started just
after Senator Jones announced that he
had become popu)ist, and soon died
out. Within the last two or three days
they have been given fresh start with
many additional details. As fairy
stories they do credit to the imagina-
tion of their authors, but as political
information they are simply rot of the
worst sort 1t can be stated upon the
personal authority of Senator Cameron
that he has nevsr at any time even
considered withdrawing from the Re-
publican party; that he knows of no
possible combination of circumstances
that would cause him to do SO; that he
does not expect to be nominated for |
President by silver PARTY, and would |
not accept such nomination were it |
rendered to him, although he favors
freer use of silver as money and hopes
to see the Republican party take steps
toward that end in the near future.

Moneyed Democrats are showing a
very decided disposition to sit down
hard upon Senator Faulkner, of w. Va,
instead of subscribing money to aid
his new rainbow scheme, of utilizing
the machinery of the Democratic Con-
gressional Campaign Committee to
distribute literature intended to edu-
cate the Democratic masses up to a
proper financial level. 1t will doubt.
less be remembered that Senator Faulk-
ner is chairman of that committee.
One man who gave the Congressional
Committee check with four figures
was approached by senator Faulkner
and asked to subscribe to the new
scheme, and he is reported to have
said: ''Look here, Faulkner, if that
committee really has any machinery,
send it to the nearest junk shop as
soon as you can, for it is worthless for
any useful purpose. And as for the
Democratic masses, ! have my doubts

LOTS OF JE WELR

FOUND ON THE PERSON OF NEGRO WHO

 TUscUMBIA, Oct. 2.-lSpeciai. 1.-Two strange negroes, acting in suspicious manner, walked into MerreH's jewelry shop this evening and asked to look at va rious articles. After they left MT. Merrell missed pair of spectacles. He notified Chief of Police Gibson, who soon had one Of them arrested.
 As they neared the lookup the negro fu- riously attacked three officers, who had him in charge, and succeeded in breaking loose. Chief Gibson, who was knocked down, upon regaining his feet opened fire on the negro and brought him to the ground, with bullet through his back. Upon falling varied assortment of silver watches and gold or filled cases rolled from his pockets.
 He is evidently a desperate thief, gives his name as Billy Poole and says he was in Birmingham recently. He is probably fa- tally shot. His pal was not captured.

A BRIGHT FUTURE Promised for the Medical and
 Dental Colleges. THE FORMAL OPENING Largely Attended and a Cener- ous Number of Students
 Enrolled.

The first year of the Birmingham Medi- cal college and the second of the Birmng- nam Dental college began yesterday morn ing at 1O:30 o'clock. The well fitted Luns- ford hotel, which has been turned into 6 medical and dental college, was thrown wide open to students yesterday morning The large lecture room, which is also well fitted up, was filled with students, specta- tors and professors.
 Dr. K. N. Cunningham made the open . ing address of welcome to the students in behalf of the medical college. His speech was full of good advice to the young men seeking to become physicians, and If the advice given by him is carried out by each student there will be profit from it. Dr.. Cunningham's speech, as usual, was sparkling with wit and humor and he en- : tertained the audience very pleasantly.
 He was followed by pr. T. M. Allen, dean of the Dental college, who made the address of welcome in behalf of the Dental college. He spoke of the unbounded suc- cess of the. past year, and of the bright prospects of the ensuing year. He con- graduated the young men upon having the opportunity of attending such a college.
 After the close of this address the students began to matrculate, and yesterday s books showed large roster of both medical and dental students.
 The work of the year will hardly begin before tomorrow, as today will be con : sumed mostly in arranging classes and purchasing books.
 The prospects for both of these colleges are exceedingly fattering, and the work done this year will be a credit to another effort of the Commercial club.

FLoRIDA,s LECTION

PASSED OFF WITHOUT BLoODSHED, THOUGH
 TROOPS WERE OUT.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 2.-In today's election the fight was between two factions of the democratic party and bid fair to be a close one. Early this morning, in con- sequence of fraud having been threatened by the faction holding the inspector ap- pointing power, three deputy sheriffs walked into each polling place and signi- fled their intention Of remaining. The in- spectors all over the city thereupon closed the voting booths, awaiting instructions from the leaders.
 compromise was affected in several of the outlying wards in a short time aud vot- ing was resumed, but in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards, three of the most popu- lous wards of the city, not vote was cast, owing to failure to agree upon any arr engagement. In consequence ofthis tanglc, out of a qualified vote of 5000 in Duval county only small proportion was boiled.
 Governor Mitchell yesterday ordered Ad- jutant- General Houston to this city, and all day the state troops were held under arms at.their quarters but were not needed, as not drop of bloodshed was due to the political struggle. The main issues of the factional fight were railroad commission and the alleged attempt of the railroad cor porations to capture the next leg is 'ature, and no where is the bitterness so developed as in Duval county.
 Throughout the state,' Lidden for su- preme justice, has met with practically no opposition. The populists cast very small vote for their ticket.

There are two mills running with full compliment of carding and ring spinning help, but the authorities cannot induce the spinners to start on compro- mise reduction. The decision arrived at by the union was that tue Globe Yarn mule spinners are fighting the same battle as the other spinners, and consequently they should not go in on compromise unless the others went in.
 The spipners have voted to make pre- parations for calling on the federation of trades for assistance. Thus far the spin ners have nude no other move to get money from outside parties.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The Central News Tokio correspondent states that after. the battle of Ping Yang, while the Japanese who had fallen in the fight. they found, t, surrounded by heap of dead bodies, the remains of an officer very richly clad.
 On the body was found letter from the Chinese government, addressed to General Yeh, commander-in- chief of tue Chinese forces in Corea.
