the South.

the south.
ATLANTA. Ca, Sept. 23 General Weaver
tonight refused to address an audience of
60O0 persons who had gathered at the State
Capital to hear him. He declared that there
was no free speech in the South, notwith-
standing the fact that the audience had as
sured him a respectful hearing
General Weaver tonight sent lengthy
letter to Chairman Irwin Of the State Com
mittee of the Peoples party iD regard to his
treatment in the South. He SAYS he
finds the spirit of organized rowdy
Ism at some points visited IN
Georgia so great as to render it in
advisable to attempt to fill bis engagements
at points not already reached Personal
indignity was suppressed at Way Cross
only by careful management At A bany
a bowling mob refused to give him re-
spectful hearing At Macon the conduct of
the mob was simply disgraceful Rotten
eggs were thrown prior TO the Introduction
of the speaker, one of which struck Mrs
Weaver on the head Eggs were thrown
repeatedly and the turbulent crowds con-
tinued to howl and hoot until past midnight.
At Atlanta similar crowd of rowdies
gathered at the point OF meeting. bent on
tumult and disorder. Learning this, Mrs
Lease and Weaver refused to appear.
Weaver says he Is convinced that similar
treatment awaits them al points not visited,
and declines to meet such appointments.
He calls especial attention to the fact that
the disorder IS almost exclusively confined
TO young roughs who infest the towns. and
who are melted to violence by persons who
keep In the background
It is especially worthy of note that the
disorderly conduct does not proceed from
ex-confederate soldiers. General Weaver
says the police forces st the disorderly
places made no effort, as far as known, to
preserve good order, and In some Instances
gave open countenanee 10 the tumult.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The Grand Army
Eneampment having ended Washington
again begins the discussion of politics. Ex-
Representative FarQuhar of New York says
that he thinks President Harrison will carry
New York by $4,000 majority. The Repub-
licaDs throughout the State" he said, "are
united and earnest. aud while they are not
saying much they take great interest 10
the success of the party. The meeting Of
Republican clubs demonstrated this. There
was great interest shown throughout The
State in that meeting. Some have been
talking about the danger of Tom Platt not
taking of his coat. Well, that has passed :;
but l want TO say that M Harrison will
get the support Of many who admire him
because he did not surrender 10 Mr.. Platt,
and because they believe that Platt is being
treated as all other Republicans. There
are thousands who like Mr.. HaTrlson's inde-
pendence.
Ex-Speaker Keller of Ohio says he never
saw more curious political situation than
the present. Politics. he says. ''is alto
getEeT too quiet IN ONO. and from what !
can hear il is the same all over the country.
There is no Indication of interest, aud / do
not suppose we shall be able to get out the
usual vote. The indications are that the
vote will be extremely light. l do not know

that We shall carry Ohio for Harrison by
good majority, but we cannot wake the
people up. The Democrats must suffer from
this lack Of interest as much rs we Go, and
that is the comfort OF the situation. In
Indiana the situation is similar 10 that in
Ohio. remember when the people used TO
stop work for three months TO devote them
selves to politics. Now they are Eot even
talking politics"
Representative Caldwell of Ohio said to-
day: II never hesrd less politics talked on
the eve of an national election. l suppose
it Is because the people have made up their
minds, and have ne doubt of Repu blican
success. OF course We shall carry OHIO, and

Indiana than they we're in 1883. The only
thing is that people are not aroused. think

ers, for the bulk of the crop reached this
market at the height Of the cholera scare,
and the prices realized were not above those
obtained last year when the crop was abund-

"Tokay, malaga and muscat grapes are
coming now from California, selling at
wholesale for 81 30 to so for twenty-pound
packages, and / am advised that the FIRST of
the Concord crop from the Chautaugua grape
belt ON Lake Erie will be shipped next
Monday. Fruit has been slow ripeDing
this year. 1t Is curious feature of the
fruit trade that there seems to he sort of
sympathetic action in nature about the

is late, not only In this country. but in
Florida and California. and likewise across
the ocean. Not pound Of Almeria grapes

struggle ensued. Men and women fought,
dumb. but with the madness of despair, and
the weakest went down. The deadlock was
broken egaln and again, only to be re-
newed with the same scenes of terror.
Slowly the solid mass, filling the stairway
from wall TO ceiling, slid down to the ground

The utah COMMISSION.
Charges That Polygamy Is Still Prac.
tieed by the MOrmOns.

WAsHINGTo Sept 23.-Secretary Noble
has received the annual report of the Utah
Commission for the year ending September
l last, during which time three sessions
were held, one at Chicago and two at Salt
Lake City.
Speaking of political matters, the commits
sion says change is apparent in the polit-
ical situation in Utah, which, if properly
fostered and honestly managed, will be
productive of good results.
Considerable space in the report is de-
voted to the discussion of the subject of
polygamy. The commission insists that
polygamy still exists, and that there are
many cases constantly coming to the public
knowledge OF the association between the
polygamists and the plural wives they had
professed 10 have put away is fact that
can hardly be controverted.
The commission reports fifteen male per-
sons who are believed to have entered into
polygamouS marriages during the last year,
and of more than 800 persons who are
known or believed TO be now living in
pOlygamouS relations.
Ii is not true, the report says, that the
commission has ever selected knowingly
"a corrupt man" "a known gambler" or
"a disreputable character" for registration
or election officer, and if by chance such
person has been appointed. ii has not yet
Deen brought 10 the attention OIL the com-
mission.
In December last the church authorities
petitioned the President for general am
nesty for the Mormon people. In the opin-
ion of the commission it is the most i'm
portant document the church has yet Issued,
and contains the most direct and positive
statements Of its desires and promises for
the future which has yet come from that
source. Without asserting to all the asser-
tons of the appeal the commission would
be glad if the relief prayed for could be
granted That Utah is advancing and pro-
gressve the commission freely admits.

ruff of the Mormon church, referring to the
Utah commissions report, emphatically de-
MES that any polygamist marriages have
been contracted since his manifesto OF two
years ago, and combats the truth OF the as
sertlon about his people now known to be
living IN polygamous relations.
