GEN. sHERmANs Two CAD MISTAKES.

A reporter of the Cincinnati Eaauiser
called at . hotel where GensIsl 6hssunan
was stopping the other day, and sent up his
card. % the same tray went up q card
brought In by q footman whose mistress,
u beautiful young lady, sat at her carriage
at the door. The rest of the story is in the
language of the Enquirer:
The bov returned with two cards from
General Sherman. They were handed to
the clerk. who passed them over-one to
the reporter, the other to the foo,msn-
while he gave the paste diamond stud IN
his shirt. front another tWirl.
The reporter read the card that had been
handed tn him, while his hair stood ON end,
as follows:
'Keeret exceedingly that l can't come.
Give my love to your mother, and assn
her l have not forgotten old times. Hope
the soiree will be . success, as I am sure II
will be. Pardon the w,licism when I cay
that yours truly ia very soiree he cant be
present. w. I. s.
ITO Miss Blanch Blank"
Great drops OF perspiration stood on thu
reporters massive brow and dropped from
his Intellectual nose. just as he realized
thst there was 4 mistake a wild shrek CT ms
from the carriage at the sidewalk, and ths
lady who had received the message felI
tainling on the back seat, while the coach
man whipped OF in the direction Of drug
store. As the carriage whirled away {
card bearing the following rude inscription
dropped from the lady's nerveless hand and
1utlercd to the ground.
"Go to HI! What do l care about til,

TILDEN AND THE SOUTH.

Secretary of State Screws. Of Alabama. who Is also
editor and proprietor of the Montgomery Advertiser
and Mail, is finishing two months vacation by
short sojourn In this city. At the New York Hotel,
he gave to reporter Of the HERALD his views on
some of the topics Of the day.
On the Presidential question, Mr.. Screws said that
his State would support the nominee Of the Demo-
cratic Convention. whoever it might be. There was.
and Alabama, though 1t might acquiesce In Mr. Til
dens nomination, would certainly not be found
among his supporters beforehand unless 1t was abb
soluely necessary to render that support secure
harmony. The choice OF the State was Thurman,
or Bayard. Hendricks. in the order named.
''Then Thurman's soft money proclivitlos would

State frequently appears as attorney Tor the Mutual

Fellow democrats. Lucius Robinson had for years
been our political opponent He owed us gratitude
not only for the honors gave him, but more
for our generosity to him. That eminent citizen
aud steadfast democrat, Horatio seymour. has
spoken OF this peculiar obligation in the following
"It would be grave impeachment of the honor
OF Governor hooinson. to say that he would allow
any aiscord to grow up In the democratic party on
years to act against it. When his sense OF duty led
him to act with it, he was gladly received and cor
more generously than those against whom in the
past he had thrown his votes at the polls"
WHAT TAMMANY WILL DO.
We ask you. fellow democrats, whether Governor
Robinson has respected this high obligation Of graf
itude and honor No. Had he remained in the ranks
the injury which he has wrought upon us with the
weapons which our generous confidence placed in
his nands.
1t for you. fellow democrats, to determine what
course you will take We have resolved upon ours.
Under circumstances es will the democrats of this
city vote for Lucius Robinson.
We appeal to on not to force us to course con-
trary to our inciinations and our history. We are
true to party and acknowledge all party obligations;
but We charge you not to ask to vote for an
enemy to democratic doctrine and traitor to the
democratic organization. There are many demo-
Gratis well fitted for the Governorship. We will give
such . one our earnest support.
We beleve IL to be our duty tell you the truth.
We know the opinions which are held by the voters
OF this city, and say to you thst the nomination
OF Lucius Robinson will be rejected by our people.
The democrats OF the city Of New York are proud
OF their history; they will be true to it, to You and
to principle. There are some who have counseed
them to conceal their Intentions but it best becomes
their character to openly profess their purposes.
In their behalf we have addressed you. and we ask
you to listen to our friendly appeal.

dislked by Mr.. Tllden's friends. Our choice. how
ever, is either of the three men have named.
Have you any particular issue In the South for
..speaking for Alabama. and indeed think may
speak tor the South when say that the great
anxiety that have is to be let alone-that is let
alone by federal troops at the polls and by United
States marshals. We do not want any more bayo-
nets by the side of our ballot boxes. 1t is not
question OF the number of troops there; corporal
at the ballot box is as much to our people as the
United states army The corporal represents & j. to
dent Hayes has done much for us in that direction,
and we recognize It. and we think he would do more
il he were free; but he has been compelled to get
into line. and his rewarding the Returning Board
men by federal Offices showed how great was the
pressure that was brought to bear upon him.
PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH.
What we care tor over and above all political
questions is our industrial and social progress. Our
people are building up solid prosperity. Take
Alabama. for instance. We do not owe cent of in
terest on our Indebtedness. Since have had
paid promptly. and SO Is every creditor We have
not scaled cent. We have only lowered our inter-
est Our railroads instead of carrying full freight
cars into the state and carrying nothing out o.: it,
now have an equal amount of return freight. Our
principal products. after cotton. are lumber, coal
and iron; In these we are doing very large
export business and are shipping great
quantities We have six iron rolling mills
and night Their present orders will keep
them so employed until March There are ten cot
mills III the State all fully employed. We.shall
buld more factories. and it may be regarded GER
stain. not only OF Alabama. but of the South gen.
orally that in the future nearly all the manu-
factures that now buy OF the North We shall
make for ourselves. Every day is bringing us
nearer to this We need these factories for the en-
ployment Of those of people who are physically
unit Tor field labor. There no reason whatever
for not sending our cotton in the form OF
thread"
..Have you any independent party in Alabama?'
''No: it ID true that in one OF the Congressional
districts elected ut the last election an ndepen
dent candidate. he called; but he really
greenback candidate This, however, was more
owing to the fact that there was no other election
than that OF member of Congress. Our State cleo
tions are at different time OF the year now from
federal elections. and therefore. our full vote is
not brought out except when the State officers are
chosen. do not think the independent party as 1t
Is called. is of much account i'll the South when 1t
