GENERAL LAYTON.
Death of the Soldier, Lawyer and Man of AZ
fairs at Clifton Springs N. Y, Yes
terday Morning.

Clifton Springs, N. Y, July 2.-Gen.
A. R. Lawton of Savannah, Ga, died at
the Clifton Springs sanitarium this morn
ing. He had a stroke of paralysis on
Friday last, from which he did not rally.
Gen. Alexander r. Lawton was born In
Beaufort district, South Carolina. in 1918.
He entered the West Point academy in
1885, having for classmates Generals
Halleck, Stevens, Candy and Gilmer.
After graduation he served ON frontier
duty in the First artillery for eighteen
months, when he resigned from the army
and studied law, beginning practice at
Savannah.
In 1850 he became president of the Au-
gusta and Savannah railroad. He was
colonel of the First regiment of Georgia
Volunteers when, in January, 1861, he
took possession of Fort Pulaski under
state authority At the commencement
of hostilities in the following April he re-
ceived a commission as brigadier general
In the Confederate army, and he was
from that time up to the close of the re-
bellion in constant military service.
After the fall of Richmond General
Lawton returned to Savannah and re-en-
gagged in the practice of law. Soon after
President Cleveland's inauguration he
was rendered the appointment of minis
ter to Russia, but finally requested the
president to withdraw hts name in con-
sequence of his eligibility to civil office
under the federal government being call
ed in question. This objection having
been overruled by the attorney general,
he was appointed minister to Austria in
1885 in the place of Mr.. Kelley, to whom
Austria had objected ON the score of re-
Hgious difficulties.

Mr.. BANkREAD AT TROY.
The Court House Was Crowded-Many Popu-
lites There, Who Closely Followed
the Speaker

Troy, July -(Special)-Hon. ]. H.
Bankhead spoke at the court house here
yesterday to a crowded house. There
were number of populites, who came
out to hear him in q. spirit different to
that which has characterized them for a
long time. They came to learn and rea-
son the matter together. They listened
attentively, and when the speech was
over 1t was evident that good for the
party had been accomplished. The lead
ing pops will leave Goodwin on the ne
gro question. That part of his record
was well handled by the speaker Cap
tain Bankhead grew eloquent when he
got to assuring the boys on the other
side that on the good old democratic ship
is the place to take passage, for she's
bound to make the landing. That's her
business. Some things can't be reform
ed-the republican party, for instance.
1t has passed redemption. Do not jump
overheard, continued the speaker; stay
on the old ship, for IL you go overheard
the sharks will get you by the time you
hit the water You say you are in the
majority, and If you are then come back
into the democratic party and take
charge of her and set her right, If she's
wrong, as you say. Come on, take charge
or her, make her what you want her.
That is the way to do. The democratic
party is pledged to fair elections. You
accuse the democrats of cheating. You
have done as much as they have in this
line. Do not claim the whole field. If
you want others to stop, you set the ex-
ample. The democratic party has al
ready pledged herself to this.
Captain Bankhead did not discuss the
money question, but said that battle had
already been fought and that the majori-
ty had said what they wanted, the mi
nority had gracefully succumbed and we
are In for glorious triumph of the party
this year.

MONTGOMERY REPUBLICANS
Put Out Legislative Ticket-Refuse to IN.
dorse Populites.

dorse Populites.
Montgomery, July 2. -(Special.)-Th
republican ticket which has been put out
in this county is for members of the low
er house of the legislature alone. The
county executive committee considered
the matter of nominating full ticket,
but decided not to do so, and the question
of indorsing the populite ticket was
taken up, and the committee decided not
to indorse it, The opinion of the COM
imittee was that many of the republican
voters of the county desired to vote for
the democratic county nominees, and it
was thought best to leave thesparty free
to do as the members pleased In refer
ence to county officers, except the nomi-
.nees for the legislature. 1t is quietly
talked that the republicans have a faint
hope that some sound money. democrats
will scratch the silver candidates on the
democratic ticket and give their votes to
Judge Buckley and Captain Tom Scott,
but In this they will find themselves mis-
taken. ~@

CAN HE CARRY HIS BEATp

Goodwyn's Popularity" at Home Attested

Coosada, June 20, 1896.
To the State Herald:
In reply to your request to inform you
as to the populite meeting at Mr.. Good
wyn's home, will say the populites were
to have held their beat meeting, but there
was only one white man out, so their
meeting was a failure and speaks well
for Goodwin that he can carry only one
white vote in his beat. Respectfully,

Democracy Won In Florida.

NEW YoRE, Oct. Gov. Henry L.
Mitchell Of Florida has telegraphed the
following expression Of opinion on the
Florida vote yesterday:
The full Democratic state ticket
was elected in Florida. Owing 10 the
Australian system Of voting. which had
its first trial today, and the length Of
the ballots, the vote Is slow in coming
In, and full returns cannot be had yet.
Comparing the partial and scattered re
turns with former votes, the apparent
plurality Of W. d. Bloxham over Z. K.
Gunby. his Republican opponent, Is
% 900 or more.
This result sufficiently indicates the
trent Of popular feeling in this state
The four electors Of Florida may be
reckoned as a certainty for Bryan and
Sewall. Political prophets and stats
ticians at distance have placed Florida
In the doubtful column. That Is be
cause they lack information. If Florida
may properly be regarded as a doubtful
state, then Bryan and Sewall' 8 election
logically should be an assured thing
The Palmer and Buckner support In the
state Is not strong, and taking into con
sideration possible OBJECTIONS from the
Populist national ticket to the Bryan
and Sewall electors, / doubt II tbs
Democratic majority in November viii
show any falling off from the vote OF
the state ticket. The silver sentiment
IL growing daily.

Bryan's Age.

The Republican press calls W. ].
Bryan the boy candidate and seem to
think he is too young to be at the head
of this government. 1t takes young
blood with vigorous body and a fresh
mind to cope with great questions, and
Bryan is endowed with all these, besides
he has happy way Of expressing him.
self to his listeners. He is 81 years old
and we find from history the following
facts in connection with the age of some
of our great men:
jefferson at 80 drafted the Declaration
Of Independence.
Gen. Sheridan was "a at the close of
the war.
Napoleon was Emperor of France
at IS.
Commodore Perry fought the battle
Of Lake Erie at 2s, and died at "a.
Nelson was 40 at the battle OF
Aboukir.
Hamilton was 80 at the close Of the
war of the Revolution
Fulton was 80 when he launched his
first steamboat.
John Hancock was 80 when president
Of the Continental Congress.
Henry Clay at 81 was United States
commissioner 10 negotiate the Treaty
of Client.
William Penn was prime minister
at 81.
Robert Bruce at 40 defeated the
English at BannOckburn.
Daniel Webster at 80 was the leading

Great Bridge Goes Down.

LANCASTER. Pa. September 30.
For over an hour last night this city
and county was subjected to the
severeet wind storm ever known. II is
impossible to make any estimate Of the
buildings wholly or partially demolished
nor the monetary extent of the damage.
The greatest single loss is that of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad bridge across
the Snsauehanna, at Columbia, nothing
being left Of it but piece of iron span
in the middle and the first span at each
end.
The bridge was a mile and half
long. and was said TO be the largest
covered bridge in the world. In this
city large number Of buildings were
partly demolished. and unroofed, and
the streets were Uttered with debris.
Columbia appears 10 have suffered
more than any other section Of the
country. The damage in Borough Is
estimated at half million dollars, and
the streets this morning are filed with
portions of wrecked buildings.
Not one Of the many big manufactur
ing plants along the river escaped
injury As the bridge was carried
away cries for help were distinctly
