ing Reading for tho People.

CUTHBERT, Ga, February l0.-[Spccial J.
The people of Georgia are coming out braTely
for David 3. Hill. A poll of the state agricul-
tural convention, now in session here, tells the
following story For Hill, 60; for the man who
carries New York, s; for Cleveland. 81; west
ern man, 1 third party, 8; refusal to answer, ..
1t was not the result of personal pleading, but
was the ready answer rs obtained to circulars
distributed over the hall, and collected within
twenty minutes. 1t shows that tho hearts OF
the agriculturists of Georgia beat warmly for
the success of the democratic party; it shows
that the people, ifleft alone to speak their SEN
timents, have common sense enough to rally to
the man who gives them hopes of success. and
that they do not want to go rainbow chasing in
Massachusetts or Iowa.
Meeting upon the street Ordinary Will
iams of Epson county, he said: "The peo-
pie out my way are for HILL Cleveland is
strong personally with us. but we must be
in touch with the party elsewhere, and that
is calling loudly for HILL"
'Put Nae Down for HILL"
Captain Tom Lyon, the whole-soulcd dele
gate from Barlow, was enthusiastic in his
expressions for Hill. "Ceveland." said he.
represents almost everything We have been
fighting. We know dead sure that lie is on
the Wall street side of the money question;
grooming him are the bankers and pluto
Gratis of that gilded Gotham. Put me down
for HILL
Hill Has Backbone.
Scarcely less enthusiastic was Mr.. Pearce
Horne, Of Dalton 1--WE want the demo-
get in this time. Hill has the machinery
at his back which can land him into tho
white house, and. since he is available, l
am for him. lie has a great wrousht-ron
closely by his friends. He is a man OF SUI
rerb ability. such man as would make
democratic ascendancy permanent"
Captain Lanpton Is All Right.
Another warm advocate OF the nomina-
ton of David i. Hill, l found in Captain
j. j. hampton, vice president of the state
agricultural convention for the seventeenth
congressional district. Captain Hampton is
satisfied that when the timc comes for the
selection OF delegates to the state conveh-
ton, they win not be men who will throw
away their votes.
Of Course, He's for Hill.
A genial smile played upon the face CT
Colonel John C. Nichols, OF White county.
as I approached him. "Biess your SOU"
said lie. 'there is no need for me answer
ing that question For twenty years TIE
CoNsTIrUTIoN has been rs bread ana milk
TO Ine. HIPS record as governor Of New
York has given him standing which
even his greatest enemy cannot gainsay
He has COPIED with tie greatest politicians
and statesmen Of TIE richest and most popu-
lous state in the union. His career has been
an unbroken series of victories lie has made
New York as soidly democratic as Georgia.
Such work deserves its reward. The men who
lead an army into victorious battle deserve the
laurel wreath of eeneralship. Cleveland
made n good president. He compi-
mented with denomination. Since then Hill
has won the right to recognition, and CRATE
full democracy will award it to HIM"
Mr.. Clements, Of Montgomery county, a
warm admirer of Cleveland, declares for Hill,
because CT his capture of tie New York legis-
lature.
Farmers Nearly All for 1t.
President Waddel and Secretary Hape, Of
the State Agricultural Society, found to be for
Hill. because they believed him to be the man
to lead to victory. They find in their
meetings with farmers from all sections a
growing feeling that Hill is the most available
man for the campaign.
II ill Is the Man to Lead.
So will wind up this dispatch, which is q
conservative statement of what I have heard
Captain r.. E. Park has just stepped into
my room. 81 admire Cleveland" said he
"but 1 am for victory now, and Hill is the
man to lead u.s." just then Mr. L. nj. Park
his brother. broke in and said 81 am for Hill
all the way through. Cleveland did not turn
the rascals out when he had the chance, and
now we will give Hill the chance. Cleveland
left negro postmaster in IaGrange for over a
year. / cannot forget that"
