No Longer in Doubt.

Chicago, October The Democratic
managers cvincc even greater confidence
in the result Of the campaign as the time
for work grows shorter. In the official
bulletin issued today it is stated that every
report received at headquarters irnpresses
election of BRYAN is practically assuied,
although no efforts will be spared along
the line to make that majority safe and
render it larger.
From Ohio, Indiana, Michigan. Wis
consin, Minnesota and Iowa come re-
ports of the most fiattering nature. The
free silver managers of Michigan are as
sure of that State as they are that Texas
and Colorado will go for Bryan. Similar
assurances come from Minnesota, while
Chairman Wall of Wisconsin expresses
equal confidence that his state will be
safely in the Br, an column.
From Ohio" continues the bulletin,
'comes a report that the McKiule. ties
are on the run; that the farmers ana mia-
ers have come over to Bryan in Il body.
and that his majority in that state will be
not less than $4,000. Indiana is in line, a
poll of that state showing that BrJ ans
majority will not be less than 20 poo and
may go as high as 10000. From Iowa
come reports that the Democrats will
sweep nearly every county in the central
and western portions of the state. The
Council Bluffs Congressional Districts
always a Republican stronghold, will give
BRYAN a large majority"

The Florida senatorshlp.

On the face Of the returns 1t appears
that Senator Call Of Florida has been
beaten for reelection, and that he VIII
not have the satisfaction of naming his
successor, as was thought a few weeks
ago would be his privilege. At the same
time, il is to be remembered that there
are sometimes some mighty sharp cor
ners in politics. and that Senator Call Is
an expert in turning them. He won his
last election by a series OF quick turns
that nearly took the breath of his oppo-
nents.
The Florida legislature consists Of 100
members-thirty-tw in the upper house
and sixty-eight in the lower or the num-
Der there viii be ninety-three democrats
and seven anti-democrats The demo-
cratic caucus under ordinary circum-
stances would consist Of the fun demo-
cratic membership but it is reported that
the Call faction OF the democracy will not
enter the caucus, for reasons that will
appear later The ant-Call democratic
strength is calculated by the Jacksonville
Metropolis to number sixty-six. If the
Call men We're to go into the caucus their
opponents would most likely center upon
one candidate and quickly turn them
down with a two-thirds vote. BY remain
ing out of the caucus the Call men hope
to see a division in that body, with the
result that a combination with the repub-
lcans and Independents may give Call
the whip hand and force his election or
the election of some man to be named
by him.
There appears to be some doubt as to
what rule of counting will obtain in the
coming legislature. Up to the last ses-
sion of that. body the two-thirds rule gov
erned, and a strong effort will be made
by the Call faction to have that rule con-
tinued. During the last session Of the
legislature, however, the majority rule
was adopted and employed. The anti
Call people will endeavor to have the rules
of the last legislature adopted. In the
event that they succeed, it is likely that
they will name a senator with very little.
If any. trouble. Upon the whole there is
only the barest possibility that Mr.. CALI $
practical politics will pull him through
again. The issue of his continued occu-
pancy of the senatorial chair was pre-
sented to the people, and they have de-
clared that they do not want him longer
as the representative of their state in 1.-The
most august deliberative body in the
world"

Unreasonable Statements.

It is difficult to understand the condition
of mind of some of those who make state
ments through the newspapers relative to
the political situation. The kind Of state
ments 10 which we refer are those which
are so far away from the truth as to be
absurd For instance in the New York Trb-
une the other day under the head Of
Good News From the South the state
ment was made on what was said to be
the authority of prominent republicans of
Birmingham, Ala, that that state would
probably give it's electoral vote to
Mckinley. These Birmingham gentlemen
declared that the republicans now have
an excellent organization and that they
believed that one half the popuilsts would
vote the republican ticket.
While 1t is true that there are a great
many gold democrats I'm Alabama there is
not the remotest probability that the state
viii 20 for Mckinley Mr.. Cleveland car
ried the state by $1,000 majority and Mr..
Bryans majority will not be much, il any
less.
Equally absurd Is the claim put out by
some Of the New York democrats that Mr..
Bryan will carry'lhat state. In none of
their estimates do the leaders of the dem
ocrauc campaign claim New York If they
thought the democrats had a chance of
carrying it they would likely class the
state as doubtful, but they do not do that
They concede the state to Mr. Mckinley.
There are certain states which are re-
garded as certain to go for Mr. Bryan and
certain others which no well informed pol
itician doubts will go for Mr.. Mckinley.
There are certain. other states-states
which will decide the contest-which both
sides claim and with a show of reason, and
these states are doubtful. There is room
for all sorts of statements in respect to
them, because there is no reliable data
upon which to base a conclusion as to
which party will carry them. But there is
no room for speculation in regard to states
which the democratic leaders admit will
go for Mr.. Mckinley or the republican
leaders admit will go for Mr.. Bryan. 1t is
simply nonsense, therefore, to print state
ments to the effect that there is nothing
certain about these sure states. If the re-
publicans thought they had a chance to
carry Alabama. they would be putting
money and speakers in that state and
the democrats would be making every eff
the situation there as favorable to them.

a Palmer Estimate.

1t isn't often that the leaders of the ma
tional democratic party furnish an esti-
mate of the number OF votes which they
expect Gen. Palmer to get Mr.. Hopkins,
the chairman of the campaign committee
Of that party, says that from information
he has received he is confident that the
Palmer-Buckner ticket will poll at least
1,000,0 900 votes. He says if money sufficient
to effect a thorough organization and
make an aggressive campaign had been
forthcoming 1t would have polled as many
as 100000 votes.
The states in which Mr.. Hopkins expects
the national democrats will make the best
showing are New York, Pennsylvania, IL
linois, Kentucky, Alabama, Louisiana and
Iowa
We would be inclined to place some con-
fidence in the estimates of Mr.. Hopkins
If it We're not for one astounding statement
which he makes. The statement is as fol-
lows: "Our ticket would poll more votes
than the Bryan ticket If thousands of
sound money democrats in each one of
fully dozen states could be convinced
for Mckinley in order to defeat Bryan"
We are inclined to think Mr. Hopkins
is talking for effect. The Palmer uckner
ticket is quite popular with the gold stand
ard democrats in number of states, but
the percentage of them who are going to
vote that ticket is much smaller than Mr.
Hopkins says it is. The Palmer-Buckner
campaign is lacking in vigor, and conse-
quently it is not commanding any great
amount of attention. Mr.. Hopkins is right
in the opinion that many of the gold dem
ocrats who have made up their minds not
to vote for Mr.. Bryan will vote for Mr.. Nc
Kinley rather than Gen. Palmer. There
fore very large vote for Gen. Palmer
need not be expected. The assertion, how
ever, that if the gold democrats who will
vote for Mr.. Mckinley would vote for Gen.
Palmer the latter would get more votes
than Mr.. Bryan is simply preposterous.

sorrows of a Tarifr Tinker.

The American Protective Tariff League
has been spreading its tariff doctrines over
the face of the earth, says the New York
Sun. Enough of two circulars alone have
been sent out to stretch in an unbroken
line from here to San Francisco. Sec
rotary Wakeman is finding out that there
are some people who are not taking the
tariff as a great issue this year. Yester-
day he got a little express package ad-
dressed to him and marked Collect" He
found out after he had paid the express
age that the package contained two cir
culars he had sent out under penny post
age stamp. He got letter from another
man, who said. Included you will find
your Mckinley tariff circular. We don't
need such rot in Colorado" Another man
wrote and informed Mr.. Wakeman that
he and his circular were liars. A man in
Sioux Falls violated the postal law to
get a shot at him. He Enclosed a letter
with the returned circulars and sent them
as second class matter. Mr.. Wakeman
had to get hunk on somebody and he
hunted up his bootblacA at the Ashland
house. He hires him by the year and
pays him so cents a week. The boot-black
is for free silver.
"Pll bet you three years shine against
one years that Bryan is beaten" he said,
to the bootblack.
well, I'll just take that" said the boot
black.
So the bet stands, SIS against year of
free shines.

Election Figures.

In the recent state election in this state
the total of the votes cast was PIT, 1856. OF
this number, 1922 were cast for Gov.
Atkinson, and 81, 227 for Mr.. Wright. Gov.
Atkinson's majority was 81, 9S5. Gov. At
kinson, for various reasons, ran consii-
erably behind his ticket. The true demo-
cratic majority is shown by the vote for
secretary of state. The majority of Sec
rotary Chandler, the democratic candi-
date over Mr.. Parsons, his populist OPP
ponent, was 5S,S29. The largest vote ca
by any county, was that of Fulton, which
was 1862 The vote of Richmond was
5745, and that of Chatham. 1866. The
largest democratic majority was given by
Chatham. 1t was 1921. The democratic
majority in Fulton county was 3,1s4. The
majority for Gov. Atkinson, however, was
only 1,222.
The total vote fell considerably short OF
the registration, which was 291,366, OF
which POI 1886 was white and 89.9s1 was
black Therefore 1854 of those register
ed did not vote.
The registration since the election has
been quite light. The total registration
for the Presidential election is probably
between 295,OOO and 100000. In the las:
Presidential election there was 90, 946
votes cast in this state. In this Presiden.
tial election the number will probably be
between 225, 900 and 100000.
1t is a rather remarkable fact that the
number of votes cast at the state election
two years ago was pretty nearly the same
as that cast at the state election this year.
Two years ago it was 217,9S7, and this year
The democratic majority was 24,161. That
majority compared with the majority this
year, shows that populism is declining in
this state

arab Stirling McEnery, in Harper

I cannot leave a place so dear
Without the tribute of a tear,
And so behold it falling here,
A-trickling into rhyme.
How shall live beyond the breeze,
All perfume, from the apple-trees,
Dispensing e'er a sense OF ease
Unknown to urban cline?
oh, shall miss the fields and hills,
The ever-piping merry rills,
Wherein at eve the moon distils
A shimmering pearly light.
TIL alluring woods, the leafy lanes,
The glen where many a bird complains,
The purple gloom, where twilight re gns
From dawn to falling night.
IT'S passing from a spot like this
To regions of far lesser bliss
That makes the world just what it is,
A place of smile and tear.
But rainbows come, the poets say,
From smiles and tears along our way,
So smile on this poor tear to-day,
Mayhap the BOWL appear.
Then let us take the symbol sweet,
promising again to meet
With life just so much more complete
For this dear time together.
And memory will keep it true.
Fields hill and vale-and rainbow too
Twill be a picture good to view
In days of stormy weather.

A Suggestion For a Union Depot.

Now that the Macon, Dublin and Savan-
nah railroad has abandoned the property
and privileges given to it by the city, it
is to be hoped that there will be no more
generosity of that character. If Savan-
nah desires to give free entrance and ter
minal sites to new railroads seeking a
seaport, it seems that the better plan
would be to carry out the scheme suggest
ed and discussed several years ago; that
is, to lay out a broad right-of-way from
some central point on the county line to
the river and also around the city. Such
a right-of-way could be used by the roads
now existing and any others that might
desire to come into the city. A tract OF
land either above or below the city might
be secured for a railroad freight and
transfer yard. This scheme would be di-
rectly in line with the desire for hand
some union depot on the site of the Gem
trails depot The suggested right-of-way
could be so located as to focus the tracks
at the union depot A union passenger
depok}a public right-of-way into the city,
and a city railroad yard and wharf would
seem to be effective means of inducing the
building Of new railroads to this port.

for the land will aggregate $1,000, 600, and
that the baron represents a syndicate with
