Tuesday viii start for Washington,
vhprp, us member of the committee
On elections. he has some preliminary
work to do on the only two remaining
contested election cases to be disposed of
At the coming session. They are the
cIsps Of Gen. SomebodT, whose name he
had forgotten, from Florida, and Mr..
.Her-on of West Virginia. He thinks
tlsi Reed Will kick both men out and
,-at the Republican contestants Con-
gross cpuveues in few days and the
sa.ou, are already moving towards the
cluial.
During a rather lengthy conversation
Mr.. Moore discussed the political situa-
ton quite freely, ana ike the rest of us
g..u It'll that he was surprised beyond
measure At the result. SAID he: &c was
IN congressman Flwoer's office just be-
fore left Washington, and bad an
hours talk with him about the political
outlook You know he is chairman of
tnr national ID .mocrutic congressional
rniuulriee. ! found him, as thought,
uIurauly posted us TO the conditions In
.a- various doubtful districts Of the
country. He seemed to know
JUST HOW WE STOOD,
gu4 said that making due allowances, he
l,I figured out II Democratic majority ct
tu, approaching election of thirty. He
also ,uld that he had not spent one dol
l.r To influence the election of any man,
for the very good reason that he did not
lngri'. The utmost that had been done
v'.s the distributing OF mass of cam
ra.-u literature. so you see, the
victory WAS won wholly by the people
" tlout any aid whatever from the
party.
Iu-sed him for his views on the speak,
er.nIp, ma whether it should 20 10 the
North or the South?
''Io neither, - said he. ''There
should be- 30 North or South about it.
in he minds Of the ueolle there is none.
sECTIoNALISM Is DEAD
everywhere but in the minds of the
crluks and party biCots, and they don't
count now. ! am not an ufmrer OF
Grover Clrveinnd, but Will do him the
ju.Iico TO say that he destroyed section
arsIn. al least to q greater extent thun
a.I auy other man. In ny opinion. the
south should get the speaker, not be-
,ltl-r It is the south, but because it pre-
srut- the best man for the place. There
is Mills, whose management ana geu-
II
uurunr in the extreme, WHO carried
through the house the Mills bill with
cuusummate skill and tact, u thing that,
prruuls, no other man, cave Carlisle,
could have done During Tho late cam
Iatan he abandoned Washington to evan
gel zr The North, and he did it. Every
where the people
gLuCkED TO HEAR HIM,
Rul more than any other man did he
contribute by his speeches TO knock the
props from under the tariff monopoly
ANA the <. o. y. That he would make
a. admirable speaker goes without say
ur. II there is better material in the
party than Mills II is Crisp OF GeorgIa.

TIE ALLIANCE.
Iaa subject OF the Alliance was sprung
upon the statesman who expressed some
o-.u1us rather uufavurahls To n few of
fE" leaders OF the organization, men
W.au he personally knew, aud who TO
DIS r~rjaln knowledge were not honest or
sincere Instances in proof were cited
I. Inn. one in particular is perhaps
worth mentioning. 1t Is this.
i.-u- the late session of congress, Liv-
u--tou, the head OF the Alliance IN
r-.E-.a, appeared before the ways and
w,uas committee TO state the case for
tn farmrrs. In his talk before the
committee he stated explicitly that the
AT auce meant to keep out of politics;
That Il would take no share Whatever III
elections for at Ieast two years, awaiting
tie action of the two oil parties for that
,r-rd; that h. himself strongly favored
su,a prudent course, ami meant 10 do
a4 ~ ms power TO keep the order
CLEAR OF POLITICS.
He returned to Georgia, aud while his
agowuls were still ringing i'll the ears OF
.s committees, he went st"nlthily 10
work among the individual Alliances in
DIS irI-tricI TO cap'ure the nomination
l- congress, which he succeeded in do
.D- nui w n, DIT the next term, succeed
Sew art, one of the ur-t men Georgia has
e. The house. That LlvugS on ia pollt-
culy houe-t or sincere no one in Wash
'nr'ou believes. aud others that he knew
We're to better.
