Special Correspondence to tho IIxnsLp.

Editor iERALD--I was strongly urged by
couple of citizens Of this precinct recently
TO attend what was purported to be peo-
pies meeting for the purpose Of considering
the political situation Of our county. After
assembling within the inner gates and lis
tening to what the prime movers had tossay
Ill regard to peoples ticket, rs they called
II, concluded this move was rather prenn,.
ture. am not much OF partisan in f0cal
polillcs, but vote for the men think Will
work for the best interests of the tax payers
OF the county. want 10 see the count3 at
fairs conducted In an economical MANNER.
'and am satisfied to lot the republicans Ind
democrats nominate their candidates for the
several offices of the county and make their
declarations of intentions to the people, and
then five cannot make up ticket from the
TWO nominations so as to fill any Office with
an efficient official that we can feel coun.
dent will do his utmost to give Ills an eco
nomlcat administration of county AFFAIR.".
and I'LL the Office with dignity. Then am
IN favor Of placing a peoples ticket In TIN
heid that will command the respect al a.
true citizens. am inclined to think frolIsl
are trying to push this move, that they are
those who would like TO secure a nomina.
ton from ono OF the political organizations,
but from past experience conclude their
services arc not wanted In that direction,
we want men Of integrity and ability,
whose past record as citizens will be sufil.
cient guarantee that their promises will be
kept inviolate. Neighbors, pass close In.
spection on those fellows that are bowling
so loud about the peoples interest. Satisfy
yourself MS to their object In view, and the
element from which they get their only en-.
couragement, and II you do not conclude
lhat the aiders and abettors of this little
band OF martys who are so anxious to sacri-
lice themselves for the dear people, are the
enemies most to be dreaded by the people
then you view the situation from different
standpoint Let the long-haired men and
slorthaired women pass TO the rear, while
'he hosts of true citizens march to honor
and victory. FARMER.

Mrs Cleveland.

As mistress Of the white house, Mrs
Cleveland has reflected credit upon Amer
can womanhood. She entered upon the
duties of that position under some disad-
vantages, but she has shown a marked
degree Of tact, good sense and refinement,
and she has won the admiration and respect
of both sexes and of all parties and classes.
While the praise bestowed upon her has
been very great, it has been sincere. 1t has
not caused her 10 become vain, and that fact
affords unm!stakaole evidence that it was
deserved. She has been dignified without
being overbearing, charming without being
affected and courteous without being cring-
ing. When she retires 10 private life next
month with her distinguished husband, she
will have been, perhaps, the most popular
mistress of the white house, and it no doubt
will be a source Of pleasure to her to know
that she has exerted an influence for good.
Mrs. Cleveland is a woman of convic-
tions, but she has not obtruded her views
unnecessarily upon other people. She has
done in simple. pleasant way what she
thought was proper aud right, and in so
doing she has given offense TO none. She

to the diplomatic corps, after her marriage.
she had the courage to drink only water,
but her delicate manner Of doing so pre-
cluded the possibility Of giving offense.
Mrs, Cleveland has never worn the decol-
lete costume since she went to Washington.
This was not because she was the mistress
Of the white house. and, as such, wanted
To avoid criticism, but because she does not
approve of that costume.
She has not turned her back upon her
former friends. The schoolmates with
whom she was most intimate have visited
her at the white house, and at least one Of
them has become a teacher in Washington,
but the attentions Mrs Cleveland has since
paid her have not been less friendly nor
less constant on that account.
Mrs. Cleveland deserves a great deal of
credit for these things Her views have not
been in accord with those OF many society
people, but she has adhered to them and
been governed by them in a manner that
not only has not been offensive, but
has won the admiration of the people who
opposed them.

In an interview in the New York Herald,
day or two ago, Mr.. Marye, the first au-
ditor of Virginia, speaking Of the efforts Of
tae Republican party u bring the colored
people into greater prominence in politics,
said: ITS singular thing that if promi-
nent republicans consider re cllored man
so capable Of government. they do not leave
him in control IN Washington. If he is en-
titled to govern anywhere by force of ma
jority it is in the District Of Columbia. But
the freedman was summarily deprived Of
power there. Lincoln's IA herly policy was
swept aside when it was seen that black
buToonery took the place of sensible legis-
lation. Congress had TO step in and pace
the district in charge of a commission, with
the result that Washington is to-day about
the only city in all these United States that
has no municipal government Nov, If
colored men couldn't govern right uader
the noses and tuition Of their best friends
and ad visers, how is it to be expected they
will govern il South Carolina and Mlssis-
sippip
1t is rather remarkable that the colored
people are not given a chaaco TO show, in
Washington, what they can do in the way
Of conducting a government. 1t is proba-
BILE that they are in the majority in the
District Of Columbia, and if the people there
were permitted to provide their own local
government, most of the Offices would be
filed by colored men.
Can it be possible that the republicans
want to have coalition OF affairs in some
Of the southern states which they are un-
willing shall exist in the District IL
Columbiai If they believe that the colored
people ought to be pusaed forward in poll
tics, and that they are capable Of manag-
ing the public affairs of states cities and
counties, they are making a mistake in not
abolishlDg the commission in the District IL
Columbia anu restoring popular govern
meut there.
After March 4 all branches of the govern
ment will be in the control # the repub-
licans, and they will have no difficulty in
comforting the franchise upon the citizens
of Washington aud granting them the
power to elect their own municipal govern
ment. They can even authorize a govern
ment for the District of Columbia. There
are plenty of bright and capable colored
men in Washington, but it is by no means
certain that they would be elected to the
places Of power. The offices. however, as a
rule, would b. filed by colored men, and
there would be an experiment Of colored
mems rule under the most favorable cir
cuustances.
Nessrs Chandler, Sherman, Blair and
other republican statesmen might not like
to see Washington governed by colored
men, but until the opportunity which exists
at the national capital for settling the que
ton whe her the colored neop!e are yet fit
to be entrusted with political power is
seized upon and utilized the Republican
party ought to cease its efforts to inaugu-
rate negro rule IN any part Of the south.

rupted by one of the coIored waters of the

able preliminares the waiter finally told the
doctor that he wanted to write a letter to a
young lady in ST. Mary's and wouldn't he please
write it for him.
DR.. Shaw is eminently philanthropist. He
put asi le a mass of letters. and after getting
all the necessary data from the waiter, wrote

votion and coy love- and when at last he signed
the walters name, he felt conscious that he had
written a letter that he might in other days
have been proud of.
He gave 1t to the eager lover. The waiter
