[From tho Atlanta Constitution.]
Was there over such a political |
innes in Georgia ? Gordon and Nor
wood and Livingston and Peok all
fussing, and cx-Govornor Smith and
Judgo IliucB in tho bushes with their
coats off. Gordon says Norwood is
a demagogue and uses language on
Livingston. Of course thoy had to
bring poor Tom Lyon into it as a
sido Bhow. But Tom oap stand it.
Norwood says ho docs not like the
word demagogue, and ho challenges
Gordon for a talk. They all seem
to ho friends to tho farmor, and are
almost ready, to dio for him. This
sudden and extraordinary lovo for
tho poor farmor is vory touching and
pathetic, and I wish there wore four
or fivo Senators to oleot. Such de
votion dosorves to ho rewarded. To
a man up in a trco tho whole thing
looks peouliar, and somehow reminds
us of the soldier who got scarod
oariy and wanted to go homo. So,
while tho minnie balls were singing
and whistling all around him, he was
found behind a tree with his arms
outstretched, and was waving thorn
up and down vigorously. "What
aro you doing, Jake ?" said a com
rade "I want to go home," Bald ho,
"and I nm waving for a furlough."
Ho wanted to get shot in tho hand.
There is many an office-seokor, many
a political soldier waving for a fur
lough now.
What is all this racket about, any
. ow ? Who started it ? Who told
tho farmora that they were oppressed
and mistreated and imposed upon by
RT~|~Y-t?.-f-'rtT VJ. A.unueU7"5trLi0"tflS;" iSo.yX.
all tho rest of mankind? Genoral
Gordon says ho lins boon sympathiz
ing with thom for seventeen years,
and Mr. Norwood has been troubled
all his lifo about thom. Governor
Smith is awful sorry for them. Liv
ingston has wept in great anguish
for thom.
Well, it must be a bad, sad case,
but to save my life, I can't cry a bit.
I wish that X could. When I see
folks weeping all around mo, and I
can't shod a tear, it makes mo sus
pect my Own heart. I'm afraid I'vo
got calloused in my old ago. I
farmed as hard as I could for oloven
: years, and never found out that I
was oppressed. I worked in the
field with my boys. Wo planted
and plowed and hood and mowed
grass and raisod horses and cattle,
and sold our produco for a good
price.
Our corn .always brought fifty
couts a bushol at tho crib and our
hay $20 a ton, and Nobody ovor
carno and told mo I was imposed
upon, and I wasv8uoh a fool I never
found it out. .Too Bradley has boon
farming right close by for twenty
years and hasn't found it out yot.
Bo must be an awful fool. Joo
used to bring his cotton to my gin
before I got up and I asked him ono
day.how ho managed to make so
much cotton and corn and wheat and
oats, and raise so many fat hogs, and
send his daughtor to town to sohool,
and buy a piano, and all that. Joe
smiled and said : "Well, you must
know that if I don't seo thc sun riso
in tho morning I havo thc headache
all day, and as my house is down in
a hollow, I havo to go to tho corn
fiold or cotton patch to seo tho sun
risc." I'll bot *10 that Joe don't bo
long to tho Alliance. Ho hasn't
got time. When a rainy day comes
you will find him in his workshop
making a plow stock, 01 mending his
harness, or cleaning out his stables.
Ho saves ovory spadeful of barnyard
manure and puts it on his land. I
had ono tonant who worked hard
and prospered' I bad two otb ors
who wore always behind. Thoy had
a powor of business at tho mill or at
town, or at some mcol.ing house, and
when the crock was muddy thoy
were just obliged to go seining.
Their crops wore always in tho grass,
and they arc in tho grass yet I reckon.
Thoy belong to thc Alliance, and arc
waiting for1 something to turu up.
This is plain talk, but it is truo talk.
Tho greatest enemy thc farmor has
got is his own. indolence. ??o man
succocds at anything who does not
work diligently. If a man would
work ns hard on his farm ns I {cub
Sattorfiold does in his store, ho would
prosper. Mr. 'Sattcrfiol.? is a good
merchant. Ho is at his store bofore
I got up. His dinner is sent to bim
ou busy days. Af tor supper he goes
back to his ?toro and work? on his
books. Ho is novor idle, and is
making monoy. It is tho samo way
with all grades and professions. It
is very nico and pleasant to sot
about and talk and road tho news,
but tho lawyer? m tb:s tc wa wed
got most all tho business aro rarely
seen on tho strcots, and thoy enter
tain no loafers. Diligonoo, dili
geneo is tho seorot of suooess, and
diligence ought to bo tho seorot
password of tho Allianoo.
I wish I know oxaotly who it is
that is oppressing tho poor farmer.
I think I would got a big stick and
go for him. I, wish I know tho dis
tress that hangs Uko a millstone
over ray friends, Gus Dates and Tom
Lyon, and old man Burge, and C.
M. Jonos, and Connor, and Turalin,
and John Brown, and a host of other
big farmers in tho county. They
have all got rich enough to leave
home when thoy please and send
their children off to college, but
still they aro not happy. Thoy soom
to think we have boen doing some
thing against thom, but I deolnro
upon my honor I haven't. They
say they want a warehouse and a
loan T/om tho government, so they
can hold thoir cotton and forco the
manufacturers to pay 16 cents a
pound for it. Just so-tho groat
West wants warehouses " for their
grain, so as to make us pay $2 a
bushol for wheat and *1 for com.
If this thing all happens, what is to
becomo of rae ? I won't have more
than a shirt and a half all tho year
round, and my wife will wear hoi
eyes out patching undergarments,
Carl and Jessie won't havo bul
ono bisouit apiece and nothing
but 'tators to carry to school. What
will becomo of- thc shoemaker anc
the blacksmith and tho carpontor anc

on tho necessaries of lifo ? Ono <
England's groatest statesmen wi
Richard Cobden, whoso poworft
specohcB abolished tho duty on grai
and the inscription on his monumer.
is "Ile gave tho poor cheap broad."
. I tell you, my farming friend
this thing will not do. You h av
gone far boyond reason in your d<

astray-I say it considerately-demr
gogucs have led you far away fror

Don't you know that all these prc

The Third Conference?
T.iusmuch as this paper has been
identified. to a great oxton t wjtit
Tillman's canvass, whon this issue
was boforo the Demoeraoy, wo mnfct
acknowledge, that the opinion whioh
wo might oxprOBS of to-day's con
ference would not, in tho very nature
of things, bo as acourato an.expros
sion of tho opinion .of the ontire De
mocracy of tho State as can bo ob
tained, for, of courso, a,paper .which
supported' Tillman cannot possibly
do anything olso but condemn Has
kell's presoRt position.
Under those oiroumstanooS, we
rcproduco from tho Sbartanburg
Herald, that whioh to UB seems one
of tho fairest discussions of this oall
that we havo found among thoso who
wore opposed to Tillman's nomina
tion by tho Demooratio party of thiB
State :
"Wo oan novor forget that night
in August whon these men assembled
at tho call of Chancellor Johnson to
seo what could be dono to prosorve
their rights of oitizen?hip. Evory
sent in tho House of Representatives
was occupied; all spectators had
boen excluded from tho galleries;
the decks wore cleared for action,
The discussions on both sides had
gone far into tho night. Haskell'!
and Barnwell's fiory words had fan
?gr?at doal of oxponso, boneo tho nccoi
sity of vouuhiutf our nat'-^ua to adhor
noir indignation into fiamos.
11 "It was then that Konnedy an
Smytho and Orr and Cothran thro
themselves in the broach and checke,
tho headlong ' tide. It was noarl;
three o'olook in the morning. Th
soats wore empty. Tho mon ha^
risen and crowded around the speak
ors in a circle so dose that the gest
urcs almost touched them. Many o
tho men wore hot with wrath. Ever
indignant word ol defiance made tin
hall ring with oheers. Tho words o
thoso who counselled submission U
wrong for tho sake of South Caro
lina fell in ominous silence. Thc
men who sympathized with then
wore too soriously earnest for clamor
Thoy wcro ^ about to suri-endor m
bravo men wwb surrendor a fortrcst
for tho sake of tho woroon and chil
dren within it. They did it without
fi inching.
"That action was decisive. It
spoke for tho straigbtout Demooraoy,
and Haskell and his aiders knew that
it was so. It was because it was so,
that thoy fought so strenuously to
carry this convention with them.
They aro still freo men. Thoy can
repudiate both factions of the Demo
cratic party. They claim that the
Deinooracy no longer holds their
allegiance, but let them do so fairly
and honestly. Lot them announce
themselves as independents. Lot
thom not assume tho name of tho
Straigbtout Demooraoy which they
could not control and whose senti
ment thoy do not voice. Let them
not saddlo upon us the consoquonecs
of their folly."
This is the light in which this
mattor now appears to thoso who in
the paBt sympathized with the mov
ers for action and it is on that
account that wo reproduce it at this
time. From this and ?the article
which appears in tho Greenville
News, the sentiment of all classes in
thoso two uppor counties is pretty
well analyzed. -- Charleston Daily

The working classes have not got MV

bonds more seoure at nearly whole

It is nonsense to talk about the
greater security of the bonds. Why
not loan on real estate, and why. not
give to its owners tho right to bank
also? No man living can give a
reason except that it would oheapoh
tho rate of interest and stop tho
enormous profits of this oppres
sive and detestable monopoly, whioh
has already pretty well absorbed the
woalth of tho whole country.
Tho government not only lends to
tho rich only, but it exempts thoir
property (tho bonds) from taxation.
Bonds or?ate no woalth; lands aro
the foundation of all wealth. Bonds,
in their interest quality, weigh Uko
load upon tho whole people If
anything ought to bo exempt from
taxation it is land engaged in pro
ductivo industry. Give farmers, as
a class, the samo rights whioh aro
gi von to bondholding bankers, and,
instead of monrning and want and

in plenty, beauty and glory.

to tho jail corridor w?ro unlocked
and swung open thc jailor saw what
he supposed to bo Mrs, Howard with
hor baby on her arm and sbyeral
bundles. She had on a dress that
was familiar to tho jailor'arid aboh
uet covered her faco. It was still
dark in the jail, but tho jailor was
careful to peer under tho bonnet to
be certain that it was Mrs. Howard.
A "trusty" prisoner who waits on
tho othor prisoners was with the
Jailor at the time, and he was corifl
lortt that tho person was Mr?. How
ard.
Two hours later, tho timo break
fast is'served to the prisoners, one of
the prisoners went to Howard's coll
and called him. Ho was surprised
to soe 'Mrs. Howard's head and face
appear from undor the cover, but no
sign of Bill Howard. Tho matter '1
waa reported to the jailor and then /
to the Sheriff, and the offioers reall- j

who left the cell in woman's clothes.
From the jail Howard went to tho.
house of a Air. Pittman, oh Factory
Hill, and left tho baby thero with
his father, who spent tho night with
Mr. Pittman, who in a relative of
the Howards. That was the lost
H Been of Howard and he is probably
now among friends in the mountains.
y A Several persons living on Falls
t j Street, who knew Mrs. Howard, saw
Howard pass, but thought it waa Mrs*
Howard. They wore surprised that
oho did not speak, as was hoi* custom,
and wore further surprised at tho
careless way in which she waa carry- ;
ing tho baby, that little buridlo of "
humanity being swung on "Littlo
Bill's" right sf do, with his arm hold* ^
ing it there, much as some people
oarry a sack of flour.
A Newe roportor visited Mrs.
Howard in tho coll which her hus
band had occupied. She was orying
bitterly and tho kind-hearted prison
ers, alf of them under sentence for
revenue violations, tried to comfort
hor. She said that she waa 17 years
of ago and that hor husband was
21. She is a good looking young
woman, and although,, only 17 years
old a ftilly grown and developed
woman. Throughout her husband's
trial and confinement she showed a
devoted attachment to him and the
sacrifice she made for her husband's
freedom has made her admired by
many porsons to whom she is un
known.
Jailer Gftillard has several times
said that ho would be on the look
out for' such an occurrence. There
is little difference between tho sizes
of Howard and his wifo, and tho
prisoner has no moustache or board
to give his face the wrong look un
dor a bonnet.
Every e.(tori will be made to rc
capturo Howard. . Tho others aro
undooided what to do with Mrs.
Howard. Sho has the sympathy olv>
overy one, and it will probably bo
hard to got a jury that will convict
her if she should be held xor trial.
Mrs. Howard was released yesterday
aftornoon.-- Greenville News, Octo- "
