What He Said About His De-
feat 20 a Constitution
Reporter.


feat TO a Constitution
Reporter.
Tie following from the Atlanta
Constitution will be of some interest
here. Col. Irby said pretty much
the same thing just after the election,
but did not go quite SO far:
Fresh from defeat, but smiling and
happy, ex-senator Irby of South Car
I lima came into Atlanta yesterday at
noon
The late candidate released his
walls Of vindictive spleen against
Tillman, threatened him with the
pitchfork Of political extermination,
predicted radical changes in State
politics and then rolled over on the
couch IN his room at the Kimball to
toss in pain
Just before reaching Atlanta the
ex senator was seized with violent
attack. and was rather apprehensive
as to his condition at first, but upor
arrival a physician was summcned
and he was assured that the attack
was insignificant and only temporary.
Mrs Irby was also here. She is q
mid aged woman, with sympa-
thetic face and q sharp tongue for her
husband when he talks politics, for
sAe claims that he made the recent
race over her protest.
II did not want him to go into It, 2
said Mrs hby, with a smile. The
campaigns IN our State are fearfuliy
trying "
REBUKE TO TILLMAN.
Senator IrbS was rather weak to
talk, But the mention of Tillman
nerved him up for the while and he
grew violently vindictive.
He is dead Duck, !" said the big
politician, lifting himself on one arm
and glariag with emphasis. Il made
shat. man. have been behind him
sin many undertakings, but he has
now received fair warning and if we
meet again there shall be trouble. II
was he who said that he would be
hands off ID the race. He gave
promise that he would not interfere
with the race, but be has been knif
ing me from the very jump, and his
hand was il several hidden plays
which operated against me. IN his
telegram to me he lied ike a dog.
and { gave him due notice what he is
80 expect from me. "
bis singing arraignment of SEN
atof TiIlman was; delivered with all
the strength the defeated candidate
could control.
How DEFEAT CANE
As to how he was defeated, Seaa
tor Irby told of that in few words
6 When went into the race, !" he
said, 81 had the great majority OF
votes with me | was the second
choce Of the friends of both candi-
dates and stood between them, but
The strong desire of the people to kill
these Reform men caused all TO go to
@McLanrin. am satisfied in assense,
for I believe | came out of the race
with more substantial strength than
any candidate IN spite of the fact that
4 received the lowest vote
As to McLaurin ] uave nothing
10 say The Reform party is as dead
as door nail, and Tillman might as
well prepare MS obituary Next
Bear there will come elections from
governor to coroner. and you can
look out for radical changes "
Senator Irby left in the afternoon
for Nashville. where he will spend
some time tsking in the exposition.
Te was much better before leaving,
and stated that he would be AL right

Trials of Gold Seekers.

Seattle. Wash, Sept 4 ALI eff
forts to break the blockade at Sha-
quay have failed utterly. Advices
received by the steamer Rosalie,
which left Skaguay Monday last, ar
rived here to day, state that when
the trail was opened Monday morn
ing 1000 men and horses were striv-
ing to get over. Soon the path was
in as bad condition as it was before
being repaired When the road had
been corduroyed over the miry
places, the logs slipped out and the
horses went houndering in the mire,
many of them never to emerge.
Hundreds of those at Skaguay have
given Up all hope of getting through
this winter and will stay till Febru-
ary at the foot Of the pass. Hun
dreds are coming back from the
trails, stopping at Skaguay or Juneau
for the winter a few more adven-
turers will try to go over when
