THE POLITICAL FAITH OF THE ALL
ANCES.

Mr.. Ilunnicult, lhe rising candl-
date for the CommissionerShip of
Agriculture of Georgia, IN his
latest speech went after the farm
erS in this captivating fashion:
If the farmer fails
Aud cannot Juy,
The merchants goo1s
Upon their shelves must lie.
If the farmer fails,
And has uought to sell,
The bankers account
Does not swell.
If the famer fails,
And has nothing 20 ship,
The railroad train
Runs an empty trip.
II the farmer fails,
Aud hasn' the money be ought,
The lawyers fee
Falls a'nought.
These are homely truths in their
simplest garb. Merchants. law
yers. bankers AMI railway mana
gers all confess their dependence
upon those who till TIE fields while
law -givers exhaust all arts of indl-
reciiOn in imposing upon tillers of
the soil every conceivable and i'm
possible burden. Curiously enough

MY LOVE rs LIKE 4 SONG.

My love is not like any flower
For flowers live but day,
And many a one but for an hour,
Then dying, fades away;
Bnt my sweet love is like song,
That sinks into the heart,
And fingers there so very long,
1t most becomes part.
My love is not like any star;
For stars but shine at night,
And then 'tis only from aEar
That stars appear so bright;
But my sweet love is like song,
That brightens all the day,
That rolls the wheels Of Time along
And drives the night away.
My love is not like anyone
That mighty pens have made,
Like no fair image meath the sun,
No bird in field or glade;
But my sweet love is like II song,
Alike to hut and throne,
A glorious thing before the throng
A sweet, mild thing alone.

The smoke from the local political

politicians are free to give their
earnest attention to it. Some rather
premature skirmishes have already
taken place in the Republican ranks.

to force the campaign before its
time, but we shall be plunged into
the midst of it before long by the
thickening of the county conven-
tons.
The conventions already held have
given some indication of the drift.
Ihirty-odd delegates have been
chosen in all, and of these Delamater
can confidently count upon a ma
jority. The others are divided be-
tween Hastings, Osborne, Davies
and Stone. with Montooth to be
heard from when the Western end

f1is Enemies praise Him.
Speaker Reed has been a W

Speaker Reed has been a we'll
abused man. Ever since his
election to the Speakershlp he has
been condemned by the Democratic
press, (among them by the New
York Hera1d) as "tryant," Scar
"dictator," "revolutionist," and
even monster" but it has been
discovered by some of his defamers
that he is not SO bad fellow as he
has been painted. They now alleee
that he is simply a Republican with
a head long enough to foresee evil
days for his party, and with courage
to use novel experiments, necessary
in his belief to save the policies of
his party from destruction. This is
high praise, coming from such a
source. A closing paragraph in the
New York Herald is the following,
fitting tribute to the man who
broke the power Of the Democrats
to do evil
''No, Speaker Reed is not die
tator, nor a 'tyrant,' nor a 'revolu-
zionist, nor 'czar,' nor even q
monster He is man of brains
and foresight and courage, who be-
lieves that some things can be done
as well as others And if any free
trader or tariff reformer fancies that
the protection ring-wealthier.

desperate as the old slavery ring
is going to let go easily he will find
himself greatly mis- taken"

Delamater leads, and the contest is
naturally between the leader and the
field. If Delamater can keep up his
margin the contest before the con-
vention will be a one sided one
Shall the field be able 20 command 8
majority, then Delamater will have
to combat possible combination on
one of the minority candidates
presumably Hastings, who will
doubtless head the field. The me s.
promising combinations just now
are Eelamater and Waitress for Gov
ernor and Lieutenant Governor, and
Hastings and Montooth.
On the Democratic side ex-Gover-
nor Pattison's name is received with
considerable favor throughout the
State. Pattson s attitude is not a
secret and has not been for some
weeks. The Democratic State Con-
vention will follow the Republican
gathering, and it is the intention OF
the ex-Governor's friends to capture
it if they can see a promise of Demo
cratic success at the polls. They
anticipate bitter struggle among
the Republicans, something that is
not at all likely to occur, and are
banking on the threats Of Wharton
Barker to establish a Republican
party of his own in case the nomina.
tion does not suit him. But there
is altogether too much at stake this
year for family quarrel, and be-
sides, there is no occasion for one.
Nevertheless, if Pattison's friends
really think there is chance fol
him they are in the position to make
strong fight in the Democratic
Convention. They will not have
very much to fear from Black, and
while ex-senator Wallace has been
an open candidate, his candidacy is
very uncertain element. He has
lost much Of that political vigol
which in his old-time cilts will

his political credit. A little firm
ness would have given him the nom

the complaint of his friends is tha'
they do not know just where tc
find him. OF course, all this is
favorable to Pattison, who, shall hC
decide TO plunge in headlong vii

1t is inconceivable to understand
