My DEAR SIR--Your letter Of Aug. 70 Is at

amazed at receiving from the southern country
letter containing charges like that which you

Very truly yours, GROVER CLEVELAND.

MOSES Ar WASHINGTON.
He and Other Democrats Make Splr.
tied Speeches.


WASHINGTON, GA, Aug. 26.--As an
early hour this morning the grand old town
of Washington was thronged with people
from ell portions Of the Tenth district.
There were about 1000 people assembled In
grove. about 500 OF whom were colored.
At IL o'clock Col. e. P. Davis introduced
TO the audience Congressman Charles l..
Moses of the Fourth district. For over two
hours Mr.. Moses held his hearers spell
bound under his elo1uence and sound deCl-
ocratic doctrine. The speaker was FREE
quently interrupted by followers of
know that anybody but Mr.. Watson ever
went to Washington city, but In every
instance Mr.. Moses gave them more than
they could well get down their throats. Mr..
Noses speech was grand effort Ia defense
of democracy and he gave the third party 8
black eye in this section. He concluded his
speech by saying that the people would
elect Mr.. Cleveland, MIRA Cleveland and
Baby Ruth, this being the only third party
the democrats want.
Col. H. w. J. Ham was the next speaker.
He addressed the Gro Hd in a plain and
good humored way.
Col. Ham kept the audience In O roar Of
laughter by his vivid illustration OF the
third party and their leaders, 1t was about
5 o'clock before Mr.. Ham finished speaking,
so there was but little time allowed for
Maj Blacks speech. Mr.. Black greeted
the people in gentle manner. but on ac-
count of the condition OF his throat his ad-
dress was very brief.
Dinner was announced. and the crowd
gathered around long. well-fllled tables,
where they were confronted with the most
delicious oarbeoued meats and other eat
ables that could be obtained An extra
table was arranged for the colored people.

Gen. Youmans was introduced as the
silver-tongued orator of South Carolina.
He began by saying that the ballot-box Il
stronger than the cartridge box, and he
charged his hearers that In the exercise Of
suffrage they should do so for the public
good and not for the elevation or depression
OF any class.
Considering our actual environments and
the present aspect of public affairs there
has been suggested no subject Of public
interest more important to the democratic
voters OF South Carolina than the selection
Of delegates to the state convention, mas
much as these delegates will nominate preSi-
Dental electors.
THE MEN TO ELECT.
"Who should be the persons elected9 In
the fret place they must be democrats
democrats without reservation, democrats
in the full meaning of all that the term i'm
plies. They must have no taint OF repub-
hcanism, no taint OF third partyism, no
tatnt OF any ism which 10 in any manner op-
posed to the great principles OF the national
Democratic party as affirmed 10 the recent
convention at Chicago which nominated for
the office OF Presidents the grandest demo-
crat in the United States"
Gen. Youmans then proceeded to handle
the recent South Carolina convention.
which passed resolutions condsming Cleye.
land, aud touched upon tbs fact that some
OF the candidates for congress were stand
ing on the Ocala platform. Said he: The
Chicago convention laid down platform
in the most express and explicit manner
and upon that platform every democrat
must stand, and a person standing upon
any other platform or advocating any
principles at variance with the principles
therein enumerated Is not democrat, has no
right to cast vote at democratic primary
aud is not competent to be elected at
democratic primary.
Gen. Youmans said that the same prohf-
bltion applies 10 the men who adhere 10 the
resolutions passed by the recent state con-
vention. Whatever may have dictated the
passage Of these resolutions, whatever nny
have been the feelings Of those gentlemen
who advocated them, they are not the dem
ocratic platform OF South Carolina II
they are binding upon anybody it is on
those who voted for then1, aud no man who
adheres 10 them is democrat.
These remarks Of Gen. Youmaus will not
give comfort bo Gov. Tlllman and his col
leagues. Because Gen. Youmaus has con-
Quoted one or two legal matters for them
and because he has therefore made no pub
lie utterances on politics Gov. Tillman has
lauded him. but it is expected that this
judicial opinion, in which the governor has
heretofore had great confidence, will bring
down on him the wrath of the adminissra-
ton.
Gen. Youmans said that the delegates TO
be elected next Tuesday must be democrats
who stand on the democratic platform and
not on this platform abusive Of Cleveland,
and should be men who have q proper ap-
probation OF Grover Cleveland.

ship companies directing that no exposure
of any straw, bedding or other articles
used by immigrants shall be made until it
has been adequately disinfected and cleaned,
and that where it has been exposed TO
any contagious disease it shall be burned

THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Aug 26.-Ths posi-
bility of the cholera reaching American
shores has become so alarming that the ex-
ecutive committee Of the international con-
ference Of state boards of health
met here to-day 10 take precautionary
measures. The committee is not an execu-
tive body, but it is part of its duty on an oc-
casion like this to take the initiative
in recommending TO the local, state
and national officials and the boards OF
health what should be done. A telegram
was sent TO DIR. Reilly. secretary Of the IL
linois state board Of health, who has been
active In advising that precautionary
measures be taken, praying him to set on
foot movement to secure the cooperation
of commercial clubs, boards of trade, con-
gressmen and any and all bodies with in
fuence in a request to the President to
stop all immigration to this country from
the infected countries during the period of
the epidemic. II was the opinion
of the three members Of the committee
present that the President could exercise
such power. A quarantine inspection COM
mission was appointed by the conference to
inspect all the quarantine stations of the
United States, Canada and Mexico. This
commission is to report TO the International
board.
