,IcKinIer,. Rnckdorn.,

There have been instances in which
falsehoods have been used in political
campaigns with telling effect. but. as a
rule. the truth soon becomes known, and
the party that is responsible for the
falsehoods is distrusted, and consequent
ly suffers a loss Of popularity.
A case in point is presented in the
Ohio campaign. Ex-Gov Campbell. the
democratic candidate fIr governor. is
making his canvass almost wholly on
state issues. A few weeks ago he made
statements respecting the states finan-
cial condition, which reflected seriously
on the Republican party. now in control
of the state government. He reiterated
and emphasized these statements so fire.
quently that the republicans were forced
to take the defensive. Gov. Mckinley
was put forward by the republicans to
answer ex-Gov. Campbell The state re-
publican committee furnished him with
figures showing, as it asserted, the
states real financial condition. These
figures completely refuted ex-Gov. Camp
bells statements. Gov. Mckinley used
them in a speech at a great public meet
ing. and they were published throughout
the state i'm the republican papers. and
ex-Gov Campbell was numerically crit
icised and condemned for making what
were alleged to be false statements. Ex-
Gov Campbell replied to Gov. Mckinley,
and not only reasserted the correctness
Of his statements, but offered to retire
from the campaign if it were shown be-
yond doubt that they were false.
This had the effect or alarming Gov.
Mckinley. He knew that ex-Gov. Camp
bell would not make such proposition
unless he was certain that he was right.
He therefore telegraphed the state aud
itor who is a republican and a candi-
date for reelection, for the facts, and
was informed that ex-Gov. Campbelrs
statements were correct. Gov. Mckinley
was manly enough to say in a public
speech that he had been misled, and that
ex-Gov. Campbelrs statements relative
to the states financial condition were
correct.
In consequence of the falsehood by
which the state republican committee at
tempted to deceive the people, the Demo-
cratic party has made tremendous gains,
and its leaders talk about carrying Ohio
Notwithstanding the fact that the plural
fly against the democracy last year was
$4,000. Ex-Gov. Campbell is making a
phenomenal canvass. The democrats are
united while there is much disaHection
in the republican ranks. The result Of
the campaign may destroy McKinley's
chances for the republican presidential
nomination and greatly increase those
of Campbell for the democratic presiden-
tial nomination

Bourke Cochran, Tammany's great ora
tor, has charmed, many an audience with
his scholarly and powerful oratory, and
a story Of him as told by his friend, Col
John r. Fellows, Will not be amisS, says
a writer in DonahOe's. 1t does not sound
so well to read it on paper as to hear
it from the lips Of New York's gifted pros

Well off in the goods of this world as
they are now. Big fees were scarce then,
and it is on a fee that the story is found
ed. In those days a score or more Of
young politicians, including Fellows AMI
Cochran, formed social club bearing a
far from euphOniOus name. They were
great jokers and a game was always be-

office boy. Whenever the budding orator
was out, the lad told all callers that mis-
employer was in the supreme court" At
that time the walls of the august tri-
bunal had not often re-echoed to the young
lawyers eloquence, and the Office boys
answer to all callers used to bring a
broad smile to the faces of those who
knew the exact condition of things
One day there walked into Mr.. Cock
rams office a well-dressed man, affect
ing a very business-like air. The boy
sized him up as he inquired for Mr.. Cock

to pay him a 5000 retainer"
This aroused the boys interest. He in
quired the name of the caller and the bust
ness he desired Mr.. Cochran to attend to,
and added if 1t was so important as all that
he would go over to the court and notify
Mr.. Cochran. But the would-be client
evaded the boys interrOgations and de-
parted, saying that he would probably call
again. Soon after Mr.. Cochran came in.
He had been killing time talking politics
with a few friends around the corner. He
had hardly got inside the door before the
lad told him of the caller and the s., GOO
fee. Mr. Cockran's keen regrets may well
be imagined, particularly when they
moved him to contlde to few friends his
unfortunate experience. Among his con-
fidants was John r. Fellows who, with
the orators other friends. sympathized
with him in a most heartfelt way.
One day when Mr. Cochran was busy
with a client, in walked John r. Fellows.
The office boy received him with great
cordiality, inviting him to a seat, and say
ing that Mr.. Cochran would see him very
soon. Then opening the door of Mr.. Cock
rams room, the boy whispered to him that
the man with the 5000 fee was outside
waiting to see him. Cochran hurried out,
and-well, there was a laugh that shook
the walls.

The Presidents visit.

It goes without saying that the Presi-
dent will receive a most hearty welcome
at the Cotton States and International Ex-
position. Even the silverites, who so bitter
ly oppose his financial policy. will help to
make his reception a notable one, because
they admire the sturdy character and hon
esty of the man, however much they may
differ with him in respect to silver But
there are not many silverites in Atlanta,
and among thinking men of the state there
will not be many outside of Atlanta by
the time delegates to the national demo-
cratic convention are to be chosen. Geor-
gians will make the Presidents visit a
great occasion-so great that the President
will not regret having made the long jour-
ney to see what progress the south is max
ing
The President is very popular in the
south, and he should be. He is a great ad-
mirer of the southern people and believes
the south has a splendid future.
1t is only necessary to notice his appoint
ments to see that the south has been great
ly favored by him. He has put southern
men in his cabinet, on the supreme court
bench and sent them abroad to represent
the government. In fact. the majority of
the first class places abroad are filled by
southern men.
The President has held out the hand of
friendship to the southern people and they
will show him while he is at Atlanta that
they appreciate his good will and kind
ness,

The horseless carriage contest to be
brought off the first Saturday in Novem-
Der under the auspices of the Chicago
Times-Herald promises to be quite big
and important affair. At the time the pa
per offered prizes for the contest it was
thought that if a dozen road vehicles
which obtain their motive power from
within themselves should be entered in
the contest it would be doing WELL 1t ap-
pears, however, that there will be so many
contestants that there will have to be pre-,
liminary trials in order that the best may
be selected for the race and the inferior
ones taken out of their way. There have
already been more than forty entries, and
others may yet be made. All sections of
the country, even the south, will be repre-
sented in the unique contest. The south
ern representative will be from West Vir-
glnia, and will be propelled by an oil en-
CINE. Besides the American product, sew
eral horseless carriages from France and
Germany viii contest for the first prize,
a purse of 5000.

Bill Nye as a Bowler.

Bill Nye got enc of his best short stories
from a personal experience in this city
says the Washington Post. He had been
invited to bowling match at the Column
bia Athletic Club.
Jacobus Jones and several other con-
genial spirits were the hosts of the even
ing and arranged surprise for the hum
orist. BY his own confession he did not
know the difference between tenpins and
cooked hat but he was put in to bowl
as Mr., Jones partner against two of the
crack bowlers of the club.
When Nye picked up the first ball and
sent it sailing down the alley as he had
seen the others roll, it struck the corner
pin, and to his amaZement and delight the
whole ten went topping over. The next
ball repeated the performance. and the
way he made Strikes and "spares'' SET
the visiting spectators to wondering
where the bald-headed athlete before them
had learned the knack of the game AS
for Nye, he didn't know just what to
make of his success. At first he was in
clined to attribute it to luck. Then as the
score rolled up under his name he grew
facetious and ventured to ask his hosts
if they had any other game they would
rather play. BY the time the evening had
approached its close he was brutally hi
larious, and twitted the experts for let
ting an ignoramus come in and beat them
at their own game.
All this time Jacobus had been taking
defeat after defeat as good naturedly as
could be- When the last round had been
ended Mr.. Jones asked Nye if he would
like to see the alley at the other end
When they got there the boy in charge
of the pins was in a broad grin Show
Mr.. Nye how it works. suggested Jacob
us, the expert, and thereupon the boy took
a very small rope from behind the cush-
ion near by and slipped It around the pins
so deity that novice would scarcely sus-
pect its presence But" said Nye, what's
the rope for?" His companion laughed al
the mans ignorance. Roll him one" he
shouted to VIII Dye at other end AS
Dove rolled him one" Nye saw the bow
give the rope a jerk and the whole mass

had slipped off into the gutter and missed

We very much doubt that the legislat-
ure. which meets to-day. viii do much in
the way Of general legislation. There is
a number Of very important matters, in
which the whole state is profoundly con-
cerned. that ought 10 be acted upon. n
respect TO no one OF them. however. is
there such a demand as to justify the
expectation that il viii be thoughtfully
and persistcntly considered until a decis-
ion is reached. The convict lease ques-
ton. for instance, has been discussed by
the press for several years, but it is i'm
possible TO say what the people would
like 10 have done with the convicts. Only
one thing in respect to this matter can
Toe stated with certainty. and that is that
the people are against the present leas-
ing system. They also favor reforma-
tory for the juvenile criminals We do
not expect TO see a change in the present
system of taking care Of the convicts,
however, until the whole matter is ex-
haustively discussed in political cam
paign.
In the recent election in the Tenth Con
grcssional district some defects. il is said,
We're discovered in the new registration
law. We have not seen it stated what
these defects are. They will be brought
to the attention of the legislature for the
purpose Of perfecting the law. And there
may he legislation in respect to balloting.
The legislature cannot be better employed
than in perfecting laws for securing alb
solutely fair and pure elections.
There viii be plenty Of local bills in
PRODUCED. There is always a great many
such bills. 1t is a pity that there are not
general laws that would make so much
special legislation for different counties
and cities unnecessary. Much of this leg
islation is actually harmful. 1t is intend
cd TO serve personal or partisan ends.
Very often it is not desired by the people.
stnl. it is almost impossible to get the
legislature to inquire into the character
and purpose of any local measure. All
of that is left to the legislators from the
locality from which the bill comes.
We notice that many of the weekly pa
pcrs are saying that there is no reason
why there should be a long session. The
people could get along without any ses-

Senator sherman.s political purpose

Senator Sherman,s political purpose in
attacking Garfield in his book may
have been one thing, or it may
have been another. But it may
be counted upon that he had
bushes purpose in making the book SEN
sational and that business purpose was
to sell the work. In order to make the
sales big, advertising was necessary. 1t
is getting the advertising now. and the
pretty part of it, from the senator's point
of view, no doubt, is that it is not costing
a cent. The senator has the reputation of
being a good guardian of his own dol
lars and a shrewd seeker after more dol
lars to add to his store.

1t is understood from republican sources
that the approaching session of congress
will not do much business beyond dispos-
ing of routine matters, such as passing
appropriation bills, etc. Public building
appropriations are strictly in the line of
routine business, hence it may be that the

ton comparatively early in the session.
