and popular backing. He is cool,
clear-deaded man, with vast
amount Of experience in the art of
campaigning. Thus far both par:
ties have announced brilliant ar
ray of orators, and the contest will
be waged with great spirit.
BY the end OF September it will be
an easy matter to tell what has
been accomplished, aud which side
stands the favored chance. Among
the spell-binders who will take the
State by storm William Jennings

Mark Hanna will also stump the
State in his own behalf, and will be
assisted IN his work by Tom Reed
and the President himself. Score,

termination to enter the campaign.

BULLOCK COUNTY QUARANTINEs
Against the Magic City and Capital City
 Manufacturing industry

Union Springs, Aug. 10.-(Special.)- The Bullock county board of commission CTS met yesterday and took up the mat ter of smallpox, and discussed the ad- visibility of establishing a quarantine against those places that are infected with the disease. A good part of the day was spent by them in consultation with the physicians of the city, and in the af- tefnoon issued a quarantine proclama- tion which will go into immediate effect. This step was taken after mature de- liberation, all things being well eonsid- cred. The proclamation establishes the quarantine against Montgomery and Bir- mingham only, and specifics that no per son shall stop in this county unless such person can show signs of successful vac cfhation.. In addition to this, compulsory vaccination in the county will be in force, and the physicians will begin the work in1In nediately.
 The city council was called together by the mayor and in addition to the afore- said quarantine, the city also established quarantine against Montgomery and Birmingham. It was believed here until yesterday that no quarantine would be established, but the authorities deemed 1t best that this step be taken for the safety of, the people. It will be remembered that9I3ullock county had three cases of Smallpox last March. and much experse was encountered. The physicians man aged it well, and prevented the disease from spreading.

From the Boston Transcript
 If the fathers of the republic could re- turn to the scene of their former labors long enough to thoroughly understand the composition of the United States senate at the present time they would doubtless be surprised at the result of the system which they so carefully worked out, and which seemed to them as nearly perfect as human sagacity could devise, in its arrangement of checks and balances. Could they pursue their investigations down to the very fun damentals they would be astonished to see how their original purpose had been mis- carried, and how far away from the pri- nal idec political bodies had drifted with out an actual subversion of the form of gov- ernment as marked out in the first place.
