ing the Presidents appointment at Ho-

of the property owners and responsible
citizens. The resolution passed viva
voce, but division cut off the announce
ment of the result. 1t was then referred
The text of the resolution is as follows:
whereas, in the town of Hogans-
vile, State of Georgia, the President Of
the United States, has seen proper to
appoint to the office of postmaster man
whose appointment was opposed by 80
per cent Of the property owners and re-
sp0nsible citizens of that community;
and
Whereas, In no other section OF the
United States where the President makes
or permits to be made, an appointment
of like character on the Pacific slope the
President would not dare appoint as
postmaster of any town Chinaman
over the protest of 80 per cent of its
prOperty-owners and responsible citi-
zens, nor would he dare in any town in
the North or East appoint to a local
office one who was opposed by 80 per
cent of the best people of the locality.
Resolved, BY the House of Represen-
tativs of the General Assembly of the
State of Georgia, that if said attempt
to shoot said appointee be true, which
we disbelieve, then we condemn in un-
measured terms the lawless conduct Of
the would-be assaSsins.
Resolved, That we deplore this and
similar appointments as exhibitions or
petty spite and narrow sectional hate,
unworthy the high office of Chief Mag
istrate of this great nation"

GOV. ATKINSON ON LYNCHING
His Recommendations to the Georgia
Assembly-Saye Arm the Prisoner.

His Recommendation to the Georgia
Assembly-Saye Arm the Prisoner
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 27.-Mob law was
severely condemned by Governor Atkin-
son in his message to the Georgia Leg
islature here to-day. The message bris-
tied with a scorching and sensational at
tack upon the lawless spirit that fosters
the lynch law in this State. ef
He says that to exterminate the prac-
tice of lnching, the crime must be made
odious and shameful. He advocates
stringent legislation against the mobs
and insists that the Legislature pass a
law making every county wherein such
a crime is committed subject to a large
indemnity to the relatives Of the mob's
victim.
The Governor is in favor of arming
the prisoners and allowing them to pro-
tect themselves from mchs. He says:
"The arresting officer is clothed with
authority to take the life Of the assail-
ants when resisting their efforts to take
prisoner from his custody, and it is his
duty to take life if necessary to protect
the prisoner and retain him in custody
This he should be required to do at
the hazard II his own life, or the prisoner
should be unshackled, armed and given
an opportunity to defend himself. The
knowledge on the part of the mob that
this would be done would deter it from
pursuing its lawless purpose, and the
law would be permitted to protect the
innocent and punish the guilty"

an tegan short campaign tour in Ohio
this morning. He traveled in private
car. The first meeting was at Mont
pelier, where an audience of 5000 per-
sons from all parts OF the county had
assembled.
Mr.. Bryan questioned the honesty of
the vote from Ohio last year and then
entered upon discussion of the silver
question. He said the Republican party
promised last year, to do what it could
to get rid of the gold standard. He then
reviewed the work of the Monetary Com
mission which President Mckinley sent
to Europe and said its mission had failed
because the money changes were OPP
posed to it.
Mr.. Bryan attributed the improved
financial condition of the United States
to the discovery of gold in Alaska and to
the famine in India, which, he said, the
Republicans We're rejoicing over, even
though the famine resulted in the loss
of thousands of lives.
From Montpelier the train was hur-
ried to Defiance, where an afternoon
meeting was held. There was a large
crowd at the depot as the train arrived
in Defiance, and crowds had assembled
at the stations along the way. An au-
dience of 5000 people, a majority of
whom were Republicans, it is said, lis
tened TO the Defiance speech, which did
not differ materially from that delivered
at Montpelier. The applause was lib
eral.

REPUBLICANS ROASTING.
They Claim That Tracy VIII Win and
That Low is Losing Support.

New York, Oct. 27.-Following a long
caucus of Republican district leaders to-
day, President Quigg, of the Republican
committee, gave out the following state
ments:
The Republican organization has care
fully canvassed the vote in every cleo
ton district of every borough in the new
city. Several Assembly districts have
been canyassed twice and some have
been canyassed three times. Each OF
these repeated eanvasses show that
Tracy's strength is growing and that
Lows support, which has never been
large, becomes smaller every day. There
are only two Assembly districts in New
York city in which Mr.. Low will have
any substantial Republican support. The
net effect OF Mr.. Lows candidacy will
be TO increase the majorities of the Re,
publican party over Van Wyck. Lows
vote viii be smaller than Van Wyck's in
each district. We shall carry New York
for Tracy by just about the plurality over
Van Wyck, which was obtained by Gov
ernor Black last year over Porter.
In Brooklyn the situation is similar to
the situation in New York, but the pro-
portion of Democrats e ....sspaza.icsrs In

than il is here. There the proportion
will be about half and half, the plurality
for Tracy over Van Wyck will be great
er in Brooklyn than in New York and
is likely TO reach 10000
Lows vote will leave the two great
parties, as to comparative strength in
just about their normal conditions, but
Georges vote will so reduce Van Wyck' $
as to give us for Tracy first rate plu-
rality. On the conditions as they exist
to-day Low might have in Brooklyn as
many as 10000, or to be liberal, $4,000
votes. But his Republican support is
rapidly falling away from him. There
are thousands of Republicans who have
been misled by the New Tribune and
the New York Mail Express into the
idea that Low has some chance of elec-
tion. They are finding out now that this
idea is preposterous and that it is be-
ing circulated by these newspapers mali
ciously and dishonesty. This fact is
getting abroad throughout the wards In
Brooklyn where the Low boom has been
inflated with the natural result that
the gas rs going out Of the boom and the
boom is collapsing.

SYNDICATE WILL GET IT
THE FORECLOSURE SALE or THE UNION
PACIFIC.
If Reorganization Committee Doesn't Bid Stiff.
ciently High on the he''kansas Pacific the
Government viii Take the Prope ty.

| Washington, d. c., Oct. 21.--Attorney
General McKenna today fully confirmed
the statements heretofore made by the
Associated Press as to the recent offer
of the reorganization committee and its
acceptance by the government, by which
the full amount of the governments
claim against the main line of the Union
Pacific road, principal and interest, is
guaranteed. This amount is something
in excess of S5S,000,000 and includes
outstanding government bonds issued in
aid of the road to the amount Of $19,-
076,51. OF this sum S15,919,512 becomes
due on January i, 1898, and SO, ,157 900
on January /, 1890. Whether or not the
reorganization committees original in
creased bid of $50,000,000 holds good to
proportionate share as to the Kansas
Pacihs road is an open question. The
master in chancery fixed this amount at
approximately $5,000,000 and the con-
tention undoubtedly will be that the
guarantee offer as to this amount holds
good. This question, however, is re-
garded as Of little or no consequence, as
lit is confidently expected that at the
Kansas Pacific sale, which no doubt
will take place on December Is, the re-
organization committee will bid up to
the full amount Of the governments
claim and the first mortgage bonds.
Their interest, it is said, would compel
them to do this. If by any chance, how
ever, the committees bid should fall
short OF the full amount of the govern
ments claim it is almost certain that
the government itself, acting under the
authority conferred by the act of 1887,
4 fn -. A.
No such contingency, however, it is
stated, is at all likely to arise. and the
statement is made from high official
sources that the net result of the deal
with the reorganization committee will
undoubtedly be the realization Of the
| full amount Of the governments claim
against both the Union Pacific and
Kansas Pacific roads. The next move of
| the government toward a final settle
ment of the whole bond aided railroad
question, it is said, will be the institu-
/ ton of proceedings against the Central
| Pacific road. The government has con-
tended that this road is already in de-
| fault, and therefore subject to fore
closure, but in any event, it is said the
road must be. in default ON the first Of
next January. On the first of the pres
ent month, the Central Pacifcs debt
to the government aggregated SCI ,S24,- :
46S, of which amount $50, ,939,34 is un-
paid interest and the remainder princi-
pal. In aid of this road the government
now has outstanding $19,S11, ,120 in
bonds, Of which $10,814,120 fall due on
January next, and $9,197, 900 on Janu-
ary i, 1899.

THE CAUSE A MYSTERY
DID DYNAMITE CAUSE THAT RAILROAD
DISASTER?
President 0epew of the New York Centrs
Thinks it Was Dynamite Explosion
Other Surmises.

Cold Springs, n. Y, Oct. 27.-Presi-
dent Depew's opinion that the disaster
of Sunday morning on the New York
Central railway was the result Of dy-
Mantle explosion planned by enemies Of
the corporation finds many upholders
among railway officials and citizens ia
miliar with the conditions.
If the embankment of the railway
was torn up by dynamite, the motive of
those who did it was not robbery, but
revenge" was the statement made by
an official of the road today.
A rigorous investigation is being made,
today.
When the party of twenty-six road
masters of the New York Central system
arrived at the scene early Monday morn
ing and commenced critical survey Of
the section of the embankment, which
had been either washed or blown out,
one Of the roadmasters, man who had
great experience in the use OF dynamite,
said that the excavation looked to him
very much like the work Of dynamite.
The tendency Of dynamite Is to blast
downward rather than upward or out
ward, and one of the most expert track
builders of the railroad says that very
light charge of dynamite would have
collapsed section of track fully as ex-
tensive as the section in question. The
locomotive was found in the river at
least thirty feet south of the depression
in the track, which makes It seem rea-
sonably certain that the engine leaned
the space before it started in its plunge
INTO the mud bottom OF the river. 1t is
known that the engineer had shut off
his steam and applied the air brake to
the train before the crash came. and
these circumstances lead tn eofficials to
believe that Engineer Foyle saw that
something was wrong with the track in
time to apply the brakes before he went
into the river with his engine. Still. II
is admitted, that he would have instant
ly applied the brakes the moment thar
he felt his engines sinking.
General Manager Toucey. OF the New
York Central, believes that the disaster
was caused by break in the engines
Mr.. Toucey said today:
Il believe something broke on the en-
CINE and ploughed up the ground and
Jared the road bed so that it loosened
and slid into the river. The sudden stop
ping of the speed Of the train caused the
cars to double up on each other and
helped to loosen the road bed. That ia
what / believe caused the accident. That
IS the conclusion | reached from nv in
vestigation of the facts. If there had
been a dynamite explosion before the
train reached that place the engine
could not have passed over it and "a
feet this side. as it did"
