Nicw Yohk. July 2!i.?Au amusing iucident
which occurred during Mr. Cleveland's

to pay their rospectB to the party nominee.
Clark Howell, the brilliant young
journalist who succeeded Grady 011 the
Atlanta Constitution, being the Georgia
committeeman, or course was among
the callers.
It was well known that Howell led
the southern opposition to Cleveland,
and when the Georgian and thecx-president
met, they were iho cynosure of all
oyes.
"Here is a gentleman who has been
your strongest opponont in the south,"
said some one, as Mr. Howoll was escorted
to the. ex-president, and Mr. Harrity
added:
"Mr. Howell of Georgia. Mr. Cleveland.
"
"Oil! yes. "said Mr. Cleveland, laughingly.
I believe I have heani of Mr.
Howell before. "
"Yes, it is true I have been strongly
opposed to you," said Mr. Howell. "1
fought you as hard as I could, and was
for the other man while the fight lasted. "
"O, well," said Mr. Cleveland, "it
would not do for us always to he of tho
same imtnl It would not hn dionoi-riit in
Uut when those little incidents uro over
alnl the party has spoken, I believe wo
always get together again."
"Yes. that is true,"said Mr. Howell.
"1 am for you now, and bo arc all of
thoso Democrats. "
"How does the situation look in your
state, Mr. Ho well'/" inquired the expresident.
"So fur we have received very favorable
report8 from Georgia, notwithstanding
the encroachments of the People's
party."
"Wo will give you Georgia by from
40,000 to 50,000, " said Mr. Howell posij
tively, and thero was a murmur of congratulation
from the bystanders.
"I am gratified to hear that," aald
Mr. Cleveland, "hut we counted on it,
for wo have never doubted the sterling
Democrats of Georgia. "
Thus ended thu little interview, and
the Georgia journalist' and the ex-president
are now engaged in a common
cause.

officially notified that thoy are the
choice of the Democracy of this grout

Tho notification took place in the
presence of u crowd of peoplo that surpassed
in enthusiasm and numbers even
that vast throng that, on September 0,
18H8. at tho same place gavo greeting to
Allen G. Thnriuan.
Mr. Stevenson was the first to uptionr,
but Mr. Cleveland soon followed. After
After waiting some time for an opporj
tunity to b heard and for tho uproar of
applause to subside, Mr. Cleveland arose
and Mr. Wilson notified him in a speech
of ten minutes' duration Ghat he had
been nominated for the presidency.
Mr. Cleveland's reply was devoted
mainly to a comparrison of the positions
of the two parties upon tho tariff question
and tho iniquitous force bill, which
! is the bane of southern sentiment.
lie said the Republican party had
failed to conceal, hut had attempted to

sought to obtain in the latter scheme,
viz; that of perpetuating tho prosont
party's power, bv hampering the rights
.of a large class of American voters, that
party being afrnhl to trust its continuance
to tlie intelligence of tho country
' untrnmmelcd.
1 le admonished his hearers,and t hrough
then the whole country, that defeat in
this campaign meant, the enactment of
of this much dreaded legislation, as well
as the revival of other nefarious
schemes by which the party that had
once robbed the country of a president,
would perpetuate its power indefinitely,
and that it would present a most discouraging
outlook for future Democratic
supremacy. In closing, Mr.
Cleveland said:
Moreover, every sincere Democrat must
believe that the interests of his country
are deeply involved in tho victory of our
party in the struggle that awaits us, Thus
pat riotic solicit tide exalts tho hope of partisanship
and should intensify our deter
initiation to win success. This success can
only be achieved by systematic and intelligent
elForts on tho part of nil enlisted in
our cause. Let us tell the people plainly
and honestly what wo believe, and how
wo proposo to serve tho interests of the
entire country, and then let us, after t he
manner of true Democracy, rely upon t he
thoughtfulness and pat riotism of our fel
low countrymen.
It only remains for mo to say to you, in
advance of u more formal response to your
message, that I obey the command of my
party and confidently anticipate that an
Intelligent and earnest presentation of
our cause will insure a nomiliir emhirue
nient of tlio notion of the 1>otly you represent.
It was W:10 o'clock whon the ox-president
finished. lie close ntnid cheers
and cries of "four- four four years
more. "
St?vi<naoii Co id en Next.
The next speaker, ex-Lieutenant Govornor
Steven M. White, of California,
had inoro success with his speech, notifying
General Stevenson of his nomination,
than did Mr. Wilson in his efTort.
Mr. White's voice was most powerful.
He quelled the disturbance by its vory
loudness. Every word was heard, as
tho Californiun's lungs were stretched to
the utmost. As in tho caso of Mr.
Cleveland, during tho delivery of Mr.
White's speech, General Stevenson stood
opposite him, but at tho other sido of
the speaker's table.
General Stevenson exhibited some
signs of nervousness, as ho stopped forward
to respond, but quickly recovered
his composure and gazed calmly on tho
crowd as it cheered.
If ho hud any doubts in his mind as to
the enthusiasm of a Now York audionce
they were completely o'ffaced by the reception
he got. /
Stevenson's Speech.
After declaring tho deep gratitude he
felt for tho high honor conferred 011 him
by his party, and the distrust which ho
felt in his capacity to meet tho expectations
of those who had called him to assume
the tpfist, General Stevenson said
he accepted tho nomination so generously
tendered him, and promised a
faithful discharge of tho duties of hiu
higlvofilce, if the nomination was ratifiodr
by the people.
'ontinning, General Stevonson said :
M am not unmindful, Mr. Chairman, of
tne tT.ravo responsibilities which attach to
the great o/.Vc); for which I have been
named. I may b? yjardonod for quoting
in this connection the ?r^t-ds of that honored
patriot, Thomas H?. Hendricks.
When officially informed thafcOndtad been
designated by his party for the vice prow
donoy in 1884, lie said:
"1 know that sometimes it is understood
that this particular office does not involve
much responsibility and, as a general rule, |
that is so, but sometimes it comes to represent
vory great responsibilities, and it may
l>o so in tho near future. Tho (wo parties
I in the senate being so nearly evenly divided
the vice president may have to decide
upon questions of law by the exercise
of the casting vote. Responsibility would
then beconio very great. It would not
then lie the responsibility of representing
a district or state. It would lie the rot
sponsibility of representing the whole
country, and the obligations would iio of
the judgment of (he whole country, and
that vote when thus cast should lie in obedience
to ttin just expectations and requirements
of the people of tho, Hnlted
States."
Should it please inv countrymen to call
ine to this office, high appreciation of Its
dignity nnd of its responsibility as expressed
in utterances mid illustrated iutlio
public life of theemiiient statesman whom

In tho contest upon which we now enter,
we mnko no appeal to passions, but to tho
sober judgment of tho people. Wo believo
that the welfare of the toiling millions of
our countrymen is bound up In the success
of the Democratic party. Recent occurrcnces
in a neighboring state have sadly
emphasized tho fact that the higli protective
tariff affords no protection, and
tends in no way to hotter tne condition of
thoso who earn their broad by daily toil.
Believing In right and ?-v ry voter to
cast his ballot una wed bj power, tho
Democratic party .will steadily oppose all
legislation which threatens to imperil
that right by the interna dt Ion of federal
bayonets at the polls, in a more forma!
manner hereafter, Mr. Chairman, I will
indicate by letter my acceptance of tho
nomination tondored me by tho national
Democratic convention.
"The meeting is now adjourned,"
I said Mr. Wilson. It had lusted just one

nominated elector for the state at largo
has without without giving any definite
reason. His paper?Tho Chickasaw
Messenger?however, louves no doubt
but that lie has gone over to the People's
party. Tho same paper contains a card
from J. A. Jamison, president of the
state Alliance, who has passed for weeks
as a candidate for tho Democratic nomi
nation in tho fourth district, withdraw- j
; ing his candidacy as subject to the Dcm- !
ooratic party, and roundly abusing both
! old parties, which of course means that
he will make tho race as n People's party !
I man.
It now appears that nearly all of 1
people who support tho Ocula platform, j
but have heretofore acted with the
I Democrats, will voto ror Weaver. Of
! course thoy will stand no chance to give
the state to Weaver, but may prove
troublesome in tho fourth and fifth con!
gressional districts.

A friend said to me the other day
that the greatest trouble lie had in
raising his family of hoys and girls,
/illwl lto waiiI/I tnol/n o f?*?l_

and speak the Knglish language.
It is a pity to see our young people
growing up with their backs
nearly as crooked as a rain bow.
, Their foFFHS are now becoming set,
j and they do not TOrrcct that ugly
1 habit they will go througliNljfe dcI
formed, stoop-shouldered, IftiJKing
two or three inches of their proper
! height. If they would make it a
habit to walk and stand erect, throwing
the shoulders back,.it would add
wonderfully to their personal beauty " >
now, and in after years. ^
It is painful indeed, to hear many
| of our children and young people
talk; there are a largo number of
i words they pronounce bad; there is
an accepted, and proper abreviation
of words in common conversation
that provents one from appearing
stiff, and predantic; but to pronounce
Sir, Sab; with, will; floor, llo; this,'
dis; more, mo; war, wa; spur, spr;
door, do; Mister, Mista; etc., etc.,
sounds bad, and is not in good taste.
It is just so in the pronunciation
1 of these words as in standing erect;
; if you start out that way and do no
hurry to correct yourself, you will
very likelv carry tho defect through
life. 1 think our school teachers are
I somewhat to blame in these matters,
i as well as parents and relations; but
it will take the combined efforts of
; all to correct the evil; for bad habits,
bad manners and evil ways, are much
easier caught than virtue, christian!
ty, integrity and charity.
1 have written this littlo article
hoping it may be read and do some
good. I will close with a remark I
, heard a young man make a few days
; since.
, "I tell you, Sail, I went, Sab, wid
i her, Sah, to the ball, Sah; when we
I get there, Sah, the do was shot, Sah;
1 tell the man to open tho do, Sah,
for I hub a lady wid me, Sah, which
he did, Sah. The first thing I diflk,
, Sah, was to introduce tho lady to
Mista Jones, Sah; but the tlo wus
! too sandy to dance with ease, Sah."
