Of it, and there are few older and no

''Mr. Morrison, If he will lend US a

Commission, is long haul free trader,
while the Dead Weight (Grover Cleve-
iand) is only short haul free trader.
The latter blows and puts and wheexes
as much as If he had done a big Job.
but the pioneering and all the hari
work fell upon Col. Morrison. and his
should be the glory, If there is any in
the business. Without regard to Bill
Springer, all the free trade collection

Morrison. He began tariff smashing
long before the Claimant lsgain Grover

sand times as much about the tariff:
and he can see his knees when he sits

But the sun should remember tba.
the "Dead Weight" brought down the

one else had done for twenty five yesrs.

The Republicans in Kentucky seem
- have stolen . march on their Demo-
cratic opponeas- The campaign is
waxing hos and the Democrats are ac-
tusiiy alarmed. IL has not been .
campaign OF pyroteehnics, so far. but
= campaign Of sound sense and educa-
sion- IL has been the most thorough
IN years The Republicans and the
Alliances are the aggressive forces and
they have put the Democracy on the
defensive The night has been mainly
on the adoption of the new consti,u-
tlon- 1t was at first opposed by all the
Democratic party leaders, but about
three weeks ago il became manifest
that this opposition Was costing the
party thousands Of votes, and il was
stopped Bat unfortunately for the
party its opposition to the constitution
had afraigned 1t on the side Of the
monopolists. every one Of whom had
fought the constitution This gave tho
Alliance a magnificent opportunity,
which II seized and worked to the ut
most. It's missionaries have been in
every community, and its State ticket,
an influential one from the start, has
grown SO rapidly that there is alarm in
the ranks Of the Democracy, and fran
TIC appeals are being made for aid in
al the river and agricultural counties.
The old time Democracy scents de-
feat and IS frantic. Senator Carlisle
will be summoned 10 come at once and
plunge into the thickest Of the battle,
for the Republicans and the Alliance
are likely to prove too much for the
Bourbons. Speakers Of both those par
ties. Of wide reputation, will be rushed
into the State. Files of old papers
have been found containing speeches
made BY the Democratic candidate for
Governor during the war, in which he
advised the shooting of Union men on
the spot. and they are being used with
effect. The probabilities now arc that
the next Legislature Of Kentucky will
be controlled by Alliance and Repub-
lican members, and IL tie Democrats
elect their State ticket it will be by the
skin Of the teeth.

SAM on POLITICS.
The Inimitable, Sam Jones Talks About
the Farmers Alliance.
TSpecial to Augusta Chronicle. 7

Especial to Augusta Chronicle.]
ATLANTA, Ga, June 12.-Sam Jones
is in Atlanta to-day, and this morning
talked in q characteristic way about
several matters Of interest. When
asked whether the Alliancemen of
Texas were likely to 90 into 4 third
party, he said: 1.-THE Alliancemen are
not paying much attention to anything
out what their leaders tell them. What
ever their leaders advise they will be
apt to do. Ifthe leaders in the Southern
States advise them to go into a third
party, that they will do. The Alliance
has my sympathy" continued the
Reverend Sam, "but it won't get there
1 said in a public speech in Mississippi
that every time the old parties played
the rascal the farmers play the fool,
and the fool gets left every time. The
Democrats will win, reckon.n
"Ifthey get the whiskey crowd they'll
get the money, and money makes the
mare 60. wish to God both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties were
wiped from the face of the earth, but
I'll never see it. The Republicans may
ulC ouC, Jul w ACll lLlS IdSG NtlJ COlilSS
they'll be burning Democrats. The
Democratic party has the principles
that are at the foundation, and what
ever good there is in the other parties
comes from them. Old Thomas Jeffer-
son was a broad-minded man. But
Jetfersonian Democracy is one thing in
one place and another thing in another
place."
Speaking of the sub-treasury plan, he
said:
"Pin its ears back and grease it and
its the easiest thing in the world to
swallow. Grease it with green grease, |
mean. That makes things look right,
I saw a fellow the other day talking
about the whiskey business and he had
a card the size of an envelope. On it
he had in big letters WRONG" He
held it up and said: "You see that?
You see wrong on it," Then be put a
S. bill over it and held it up. "Now," he
said, "you can't see it. Its there, but
you can'tsee it. .'"That, "continuedSam,
is the way it is with a heap of things
put money in it and its all right. Sena-
tor George is talking more good sense
to the farmers than any man I know"

and to deliver the address to the stu

Fortunately, however, Newberry has
a man qualified to address the people
upon almost any subject. The man
agement called upon Mr.. Geo. B.
Cromer to make the address. This he
consented to do. A large audience was
present to hear him and he was enthu-
siastically applauded. His address was
full of wholesome advice to the stu
dents.
Thursday night was devoted to the
children, and they acquitted themselves,
in a way that reflected credit upon
themselves and their instructors.
Everything passed off without halt or
hitch.
The instructors are to be congratu-
lated upon the successful session which
