[From tho Atlanta Constitution.]
Was there) over such a politioal
muss in Goorgia ? Gordon and Nor
wood and Livingston and Peok all
fussing, and ox-Governor Smith and
Judgo Hines in tho bushes with their
coats off. Gordon says Norwood is
a demagogue and uses language on
Livingston. Of courso thoy had to
bring poor Tom Lyon into it ns a
sido show. But Tom oap stand it.
Norwood says ho does not like tho
word domagoguo, and ho challenges
Gordon for a talk. They all seem
to bo frionds to tho farmer, and aro
almost roady. to dio for him. This
sudden and extraordinary love for
tho poor farm or is very touching and
pathetic, and I wish thero wore four
or fivo Senators to elect. Such do
votiod unnerves to bo rowarded. To
a man up ip a tree tho whole thing
looks peculiar, and somehow reminds
us of the soldier who got scared
early and wanted to go homo. So,
while tho minnie balls woro singing
ar 3 whistling all around him, he was
found behind a troo with his arms
outstretched, and was waving them
up and down vigorously. "What
aro you doing, Jake ?" said a com
rade. "I want to go homo," said ho,
"and I nm waving for a furlough."
Ile wanted to get shot in the hand.
Thoro is many an oflico-soeker, many
a politioal soldier waving for a fur
lough now.
What is all this raoket about, any
how ? Who ?tarted it ? Who told
tho farmors that they wore oppressed
and mistreated and imposed upon by
alf t?~o "rest""of*^mni?klmdT General
Gordon says he has boon sympathiz
ing with thom for Bovonteon years,
and Mr. Norwood has leon troubled
all his life about them. Governor
Smith is awful sorry for thom. Liv
ingston has wept in great anguish
for then.
Well, it must bo a bad, sad case,
but to save my life, I onn't cry a bit.
I wish that I could. When I see
folks weeping all around me, and I
can't shed a tear, it makos rae sus
peot my own heart. I'm afraid I'vo
got calloused in my old ago. I
farmed OB hard as I could for devon
years, and novcr found out that I
was oppressed. I worked: in the
field with my boys. Wo planted
and plowed and hoed and mowed
grass and raised horses and cattlo,
and sold our produce for a good
price.
Our corn .always brought fifty
cents a bushol at tho orib and our
hay $20 a ton, and tTobody over
carno and told mo I was imposed
upon, and I wasvsuch a fool I never
found it out. Joe Bradloy has boon
farming right close by for twenty
years and hasn't found it out yot.
Ho must be an awful xool. Joe
used to bring his cotton to my gin
boforo I got up and I asked him ono
day,how ho managed to make so
muoh cotton and corn and wheat and
oats, and raise so many fat hogs, and
send his daughter to town to sohool,
and buy a piano, and all that. Joo
smiled and said : "Well, you must
know that if I don't seo tho sun riso
iii tho morning I havo tho headache
all day, and as my house is down in
a hollow, I havo to go to tho corn
field or cotton patch to BOO tho sun
riso." I'll bet $10 that Joo 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, or mending his
harness, or cleaning out his stables.
He saves evory spadeful of barnyard
manure and puts it on his land. I
had ono tonant who worked hard
and prospered. I had two othors
who were always behind. Thoy had
a power of business at the mill or at
town, or nt somo meeting house, and
when the creek was muddy they
wore just obliged to go seining.
Their props wero always in tho grass,
and they are in tho grass yet I rockon.
They belong to tho Alliance, and are
waiting for ' something to turn up.
This is plain talk, but it is true talk.
The greatest enemy the farmor has
g t is his own indolence. No man
succeeds at anything who docs not
work diligently. If a man would
work as hard on hi? farm as lloub
Sattorfiold does in his store, ho would
prosper. Mr. Sntterfiold is a good
merchant, Ho is at bis storo boforo <
I got up. His dinner is sont to bim ']
on busy days. After Bnppor he goos t
baok to his storo and works on his 1
books. He is nover idle, and is i
making monoy. It is tho samo way ]
with all trades and professions. It 1
is very nico nnd pleasant to sot 1
about and talk and read tho nows, <
but. the lav/ycra' ia thia town who i
get most all tho businoss aro rarely <
seon on tho strcots, and they enter- t
tain no lonfors. Diligence, dili- ]
genoe is the seorot of suoocss, and ]
diligence ought to bo tho seoret i
password of tho Alliance. 1
I wish I know oxaotly who it is
that is oppressing the poor farmer.
I think I > raid got a big stiok and
go for him. I, wish I know tho dis
tress that hangs Uko a millstone
ovor ray frionds, Gus Bates and Tom 1
Lyon, and old man Burge, and C. '
M. Jones, and Connor, and Turalin, 1
and John Brown, and a host of other *
big farmers in tho county. Thoy '
have all got rich enough to loavo I
homo when they pienso and send !
thoir children off to colloge, but !
still they aro not happy. Thoy soom 1
to think we have been doing somo- 1
thing against thom, but I . declaro 1
upon my honor I haven't. Thoy '
say they want a warehouse and a J
loan from tho government, so thoy
cnn hold thoir cotton and force tho 1
manufacturen) to pay 15 cents a
pound for it. Just so-tho groat !
West wants warehouses " for their 1
grain, so as to make us pay $2 a
bushel for wheat and #1 for oom. 1
If this thing all happens, what is to i
become of me ? I won't bnvo moro
than a shirt and a half all tho year !
round, and my wifo will wear her 1
eyes out patching undergarments. 1
Carl and Jessio won't bavo but
ono biscuit apiece and nothing 1
but 'tators to carry to school. What
will become of- tho shoemaker and
the blacksmith and thc carpenter and
the brickmason and tho day laborer ?
What will become of all the poor
folks and tho negroes and tho cotton
^?citors V ' ^"ln?verbotoro " mo" tho
tables of tho last census, and lind
that thoro aro 4,260,000 farmers and
planters in the United States, and
there aro 18,000,000 laborers-toilers
-working pooplo who aro not farm
ers. There aro ovor 8,000,000 labor
ers on tho farms who work for wages.
W hat will thoy say to Hour at *5 a
100? There are ovor 1,000,000
mechanics and nearly as many rail
road operators and half as many
milliners and factory hands, women
and ohildron. What is to bocome of
thom if tho farmers get up a corner
on tho necessaries of lifo ? Ono of
England's greatest statesmen was
Richard Cobdon, whoso poworful
speeches abolished tho duty on grain
and tho inscription on his monument
is "Ho gave tho poor cheap broad."
. 7 toll you, my farming friends,
this thing will not do. You havo
gone far boyond reason in your de
mands. Demagogues have led you
astray-I say it considerately-dema
gogues have lcd you far away from
the original purposes of your order.
Don't you know that you will nover
live to seo your cotton in a govern
ment warehouse ? Don't you know
that you will nover seo a dollar of
that $64,000,000 that your loadors
say is coming right away from Eng
land to advance on your cotton ?
Don't you know that all theso pro
raisos arc a delusion and a snare and
wijl fado into a mist after tho elec
tions are over? I do confess to
some grief and mortification ovor
tho credulity of my farming friends.
I feel but little interest in politics.
My politics is for the South to go
on prospering as shu has dono since
tho war. The farmer, tho laboror,
tho mechanic, tho merchant-every
class has prospored. Diligonce in
business, and a contented disposition
will mako us all happy. There aro
no pooplo upon earth that havo as
much to bo thankful for ns wo have.
I fed like I am alone in thoso views,
for I know that tho press is against
mo, and most of tho pooplo, bttt I
feel bottor for having had my say
whothor it pleases anybody or not.
I see politicians dancing and pranc
ing around tho Allianoo, and talking
big about corn and cotton who don't
know tho difference botweon a bull
tongue and a twistor. Heard of one
tho other day who said that thoro
would bo a very short crop of cot
ton, for ho had noticed that tho red
blossoms woro all -.ailing off. Ho
said that just ns soon ns a poor
far mu. hud anything to sell thy price
wont down. Cotton was down, and
foddor had dropped from $2 a hun
dred to $f j and sweet potatoes had
al road y gono down to 00 couts n
bushel, and in two months from now
?orn would' fall 25 or 50 percent.
Wo must have a big warehouse,
mid ho, and store tho prpfluoe and
coop it until tho. speculators and tho.
uonopoUsts aro whipped out.
Maybe that man wants to bo a friend
o tho farmor, but ho don't know
mw. He knows nothmg of th's laws
)f supply and. demand. Durin? the
: ahern nolo-meetings I had to pay 25
Kinta for ehickons that hadn't done
nicking. Boforo that they wore
)lonty at 15 couta. The . fcrfothodist
iroaohors did that, but thoy didn't
noan to and I'm not complaining,
['ll do anything for a preacher.

Tho Third Conference.
Inasmuch aa thia paper has been
dentiflcd to a great oxtent with
Hitman's, canvass, when this issue
vas boforo the Democraoy, wo must
toknowledgo, that the opinion which
yo might exproaa of to-day's oon
icrenco would not, in tho very nature
>f tilings, bo aa accurate an expres
sen of tho opinion .of tho entire De
nocraoy of tho State aa oan bo ob
ained, for, of course, a paper which
lupported' Tillman oannot possibly
lo anything else but condemn lias
bell's preaont position.
Undor those circumstances, we
oproduca from tho Sbartanburg
Herald, that which to ua seems one
rf tho fairest discussions of thia call
hat we have found among those who
vere opposed to Tillman's nomina
ion by the Democratic party of thia
Hate :
"Wo oan never forget, that night
n August when these men assembled
it the call of Chancellor Johnson to
ice what could be done to preserve
heir rights of citizenship. Every
>ent in the House of Representatives
vas occupied; all spectators had
>ocn excluded from tho galleries;
he dcoks wore oleared for action.
The discussions on both sides had
;onc far into tho night. Haskell's
md Barn well's fiory words had fan
n?TTYliaignauon into namos.
"It was then that Kennedy and
Smythe and Orr and Cothran threw
themselves in tho breach and checked
the headlong ' tide. It was nearly
throe o'elook in tho morning. Tho
Boats wore cmjity. Tho men had
risen and crowded around tbo speak
ers in a eirolo so 'dose that the gest
ures almost touched them. Many of
tho mon wore hot with wrath. Evory
indignant word of defiance made the
hall ring with cheers. Tho words of
those who counselled submission to
wrong for tho aako of South Caro
lina fell in ominous silence. The
mon who sympathised with thom
were too seriously earnest for olamor.
Thoy wero about to surrender as
bravo mon w;.'i> surrendor a fortress
for thc sake of tho women and chil
?ron within it. They did it without
flinching.
"That action waa decisive. It
jpoko for tho straightout Democraoy,
Find Haskell and his aiders knew that
it waa so. It was beeauso it was so,
that thoy fought so strenuously to
iiarry this convention with thom.
They aro still freo men. They oan
repudiate both faotions of the Deiuo
sratio party. Thoy claim that the
Demooracy no longer holds their
?llogiar?ie, but let them do so fairly
ind honestly. Lot them announce
themselves ns Independents. Let
thom not assume the name of the
Straightout Democraoy which they
jould not control and whose senti
ment thoy do not voice. Let them
not saddle upon us the consequences
rf thoir folly."
This is the light in which this
matter now appears to those who in
thc past sympathized with the mov
>rs for notion and it ia on that
ic co it nt that WO reproduce it at thia
timo. From this and .the article
which appears in the Greenville
News, tho sentiment of all classes in
theso two uppor counties is protty
well analyzed.- Charleston Daily

band's oell early in tho moriiTbg in
order to roach ncr homo on tho samt
'dav. Yesterday morning ?t 6
o'clock Jailor Gaillard Was asked to
op?n the prison colls and allow Mrs.
.Howard to leave. Tho voice that
made tho request wan Howard's.
When the .great iron doora loading
to thc jail corridor were unlocked
and swung open the jailor saw what
ho supposed to bo Mrs. Howard with
her baby on her arm and several
bundles. She had on a dress that
was familiar to the jailor and a bon
net covered her face. 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 wait? on
tho other prisoners was with the
jailor at the time, and ho was confi
dent that, tho porson Was Mrs. How
ard.
Two hours later, tho timo break
fast ls'served to tho prisoners, ono ?f
the prisoners went to Howard's coll
and called him. Ho was surprisod
to soo Mrs. I lo ward's head and faco
appear from under tho cover, but no
sign of Bill Howard. Tho matter ' ' i
was reported to tho jailor and then li.;
to tho Sheriff, and tho officers reali
^dthat^^
who left the cell in woman's clothes.
From the jail Howard went to thc.
house of a Mr. Pittman, oil Factory
Hill, and left the baby there with
his father, who spent the hight with
Mr. Pittman, wno ?s a relative of
the Howards. That was the last
seen of Howard and he is probably
now among friends in tho mountains.
j Several persons living' on Falls
Street, who know Mrs. Howard, Baw
: Howard pass, but thought H was Mrs.
j Howard. They wore surprised that
I she did not speak, as was her custom,
and were further surprised at the
careless way in AV hieb BIIO was carry
ing tho baby, that little bundle of ,
humanity being swung on "Little
j??i's" right side, with his arr? hold
ing it there, much as some people
carry a sack of (lour.
A J\reto8 reporter visited Mrs.
Howard in the cell whioh her hus
band had occupied. She was crying
bitterly and tho kind-hearted prison
ers, all of thom under sentence for
revenue violations, tried to comfort
hor. She said that she was 17 years
of age and that hor husband waa
21. She is a good looking young
woman, and although, only 17 yearn
old a tully grown and developed
woman. Throughout her husband's
trial and confinement she showed a
devoted alt ach m out to him and the
sacrifico she made for her husband's ?
freedom has made her admired by
many porsons to whom sho is un
known.
Jailor Gaillard has several times
said that he would bo on th? look
out for such an occurrence. There
is little di f fe ronco bot woo ii the sizes
of Howard ond his wifo, and tho
prisonor has no moustache or beard
to give his face tho wrong look un
der a bonnot.
Every effort will bo mado to .
capture Howard. . Tho others aro
undecided what to do With Mrs.
Howard. Sho hes tho sympathy of
ovory one, and it will probably bo
hard to.get a jury that will convict '
her if she should ho hold for trial.
Mrs. Howard was released yesterday
