TEDDY'S SCHEME. His Name May be Only One Pre sented at Convention.-Alaba ma Already Pledged. Washington cor Columibia State. Washington, Nov. 21.-None of the Roosevelt rooters need be alarmed at the report which has gone forth in certain directions to the effect that the president has issued an order that no federal officeholders will be allowed to go to the Republican con vention pledged to vote for Roose velt. It means only that no federal officeholdei, suc: as postmasters, dis trict attorneys, collectors of internal revenue and marshals, will be allow ed to go at all. Roo!evelt does not intend that there shall be a repeti tion of the Minneapolis convention of 1892 when Harrison was' nominat ed for a second term by his own ap pointees, 400 of whom sat in the convention and voted for their chief and official creator. Mr. Roosevelt does not want any such a pitiful performance as that, especially since he has announced that "under no circumstances" wo ld he accept another nomination. And for that reason those who have federal jobs will stay away from the convention. But-they will be expected to work like beavers of the most stren uous type to get men as d-legates who will be for Roos?velt. The circumstances of the propaga tion of this idea that the president had issued this order to the captains of the clans throughout the states through their great general and gen- 1 eralissimo, Frank HI. Hitehcock, are peculiar. They are peculiar to the master manipulator in the White House. Some three - four of the chosen few among the Washington correspondents were called to the in ner sanctuary a day or two ago. What was said in there was not for publication, and no man on the out side was privileged to know; but the chosen correspondents came out with their coats buttoned up in front, their gloves carefully stretched and their chests a little bit extended, They had been taken into the confi I dence of the mighty and they pro eeeded to tell to an awaiting public which reads their papers, and on the side to some of their newspaper friends who do not enjoy the confi dence of the inner sanctuary, how it all is, stating that they have it "upon the highest authority." The president -wanted to get the impres sion abroad in a quiet and unofficial way, so he could deny it if necessary, that he was dead set against a third1 term and that any man on the pay-. roll of the federal government who j owes his appointiment to t, presi dent or any of his underlings who Pshould be caught working for a third term for Roosevelt would forthwith and peremptorily lose .his job. That is a very good thing to get abroad, es pecially when it comes "on the high est autGority" without being irretvo eable or deniable. The fact is, and' this is learned upon authority more reliable if not quite so "high," that no such order has gone forth as. that Nfederal officeholders must not go to the Republican convention pledged to vote for Roosevelt; not as. yet,. anyway. No such order, it is safe to* say, is going forth. An "undet-. standing" may be handed up and down the line, but thes' fellows who came out of the presidential sanc tuary, after which they wrote stor-1 ies 'upon the highest authority " have an "understanding" quite dif ferent from the ones the postmasters~ and other federal officeholders have. These l'atter are expected to keep up thte Roosevelt shouting and. on the q. t., they~ are being coaxed by one qf the abiest leftenants of the time to do more than mee shot. lng, but to get actual pledges.4 In Alaba.ma it is all fixed up. The 4elegates have been thosen, and the.s a: e out and out Rcvseveh men, who are going to vote the name of Roosev4lt in a loud and dramatice voice when the first name on the roll is called at the convention. When the first state on the roll votes for R.oosevelt, the stampede will begin right then and there and the other states will follow suit. Those who 'know the real situation and have not been hoodwinked by the fake "un derstandings" which have gone forth~ have the hest of reasons for believ ing that if any other name than Roosevelt is ment.ioned at the next i Re:mblican convention it will all be a m-sa. disappointing and humiliatingi] missa~p, against which direful disap poir iment both to themselves and ] their chief the administration field lieutenauts ares working throughout the day and upward into the night. So, all ye who think that the coun try 's prosperity and the conservation of the righteousness of the world de pnds upon the continued reign of r. l.. take courage. The end is not Zac h MNcGhlee. BEN TILLMAN TALKS. south Carolina Senator Gives Out Sensational Interview on Steel Kin's Recent Speech. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, :he original and inimitable Pitch ork Ben, passed. through Atlanta resterday afternoon, en route to his iome at Trenton, S. C. And during is stay he gave to the Journal an in erview which indicates that he is lharpeniig his pitchfork to prod An Irew Carnegie because of a speech e is reported to have made at How ird university concerning the negro -ace. Incidentally. he talked of oth ,r matters of public interest-prohi )ition, currency, Roosevelt, Bryan, noney stringency, etc. The senior senator from the Pal netto state is real wrathy about the 7arnegie speech. Mr. Carnegie was quoted as say ng, in a speech, "it is not what shall we do with the negro ? but how can e get more of them?'" The Senator's Suggestion. "I know of no man in America )etter fixed to get 'more of the ne ,roes' than is Carnegie," exclaim d Senator Tillman. "He has amass d a great fortune through our ini luitous tariff, and is financially able ;o get all of the negroes he wants. e is welcome to them. "But," continued the senator, "in )rder that he may fully understand he race I suggest that he import rom Africa the black. man; then he ill have the negro just as we of the outh had them first when they were mported to this country. Het will ;ee the negro in his original uncivi ized state and be enabled to under ;tand just how much the peopl,e of ,he south have done for the race. He vill also have an opporunity, un loubtedly his &rst, of realizing just. rhat we have had to contend with luring all of these years. Returns from "Yankeedom." Senator Tillman came .to Atlanta mmediately from Clarkesville, Tenn., there he lectured Friday night. He vas in the city for three hours, most >f whieh time he spent in the waiting oom at the old union station, read ng papers and magazines. He felt at 1.30 o'clock for his home, by the way f the Georgia railroad and Augusta. "I've b*n all through Yankee lo,'' said the senator replying to a pestion. "I have been going most >f the time since last March, and ave traveled over 38,000 miles, tell n the people a.bout'the negro pro >lem and offering my solution of the rexing question.'' The senator was in Durand 's res aurant talking to t,he reporter, when he interview was suddenly interrupt "Well, bless my heart, there's 3en Tillman-he 's one-eyed and left ianded, and. I'll bet he don't know us old school mate and neighbor!'' exlaimed a taJl, slender gentleman, ttracting the attention of all the unbers leaning over the tables and ounters enjoying their midday meal. "Say that again, and I'll call your ame'' ,answered the senator, smil ng with confidence as he fixed his eye upon the shaggy face with its wo weeks' growth of beard stand ng before him. "You don't remeiber me, it's een so long sine "You're a Howard, I 'l1 bet my uat,'' broke in Senator Tillmnan Lnd he had guessed right the very irst time. It was George W. Howard, a citiz n of College Park, who was stand ng before him. Sen. Tillman and Mr. Howard were chool mates in Edgefield county, S. i., in 1853 and 1854, -and they had 'or a teacher Miss Annie Arthur, a ister of President Chester A. Arthur. L'hey lived on adjoining plantation3, Ld each was the eleventh child of i parents. as they both remembered resterday. WANTED-All your cotton seed at the highest markat price.
