An Address From the state Central
Committee.


ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 29.-The state CEN
tral committee OF the Cleveland campaign
organization. which was perfected In this
city recently, to-day issued its address TO the
people OF the state. The address saws: ''The
voice Of the people must not be throttlad bv
shrewd political process, nor must the peo-
pies will be sacrificed on the altar Of parti,
san selfishness. The love of fair play is not
less strong with the American people than
the spirit OF home rule, aud whenever these
companion principles are overridden DEM
ocraey becomes by-word and public office
a mere name.
NEW YoRK's CONVENTION.
"rhe unfair and nndemocratic action of
the machine in New York indicates a pur-
pose To make the will OF the people subserv-
lent TO the greed OF the politician. We,
therefore, believe that the time has come
for the active and resolute organization Of
the democratic masses In Georgia, lest the
sentiment OF the people in this state. as IN
New York, find expression through the
machinatt0ns Of political intrigue
"Hrover Cleveland is undoubtedly the
choice OF the democrats of Georgia for the
next presidency. His strength ia among
the people. IL there Is a resolute massin0
OF this strength nothing can stand In the
way OF solid delegation from this state
pAuNko0 w LIN uupRbIN bub tneTo must be
thorough organization In every county.
THE CAUSE OF THE PEOPLE.
Fighting the cause Of Cleveland ia
battling for the rights of the people. He Is
the soundest exponent of popular rights this
country has ever seen. He has so impressed
his individuality upon the general governs
ment that be stands preeminently the
greatest American of the day. Il
was Cleveland, who, in office, gave
new strength and dignity to official
place by declaring end practiclng that
public office IS public trust and It fs he
who in private life takes Issue with the lat
ter-day politician, and with burning en-
phasis says to the citizens, The mentorship
OF pure heart and good conscience is nec-
essary to the faithful discharge Of public
duty
This is the character OF man that we
commend to you. believing that his strong
Individuality will carry the democratic
banner to victory.
when Richard Croker, Tammany's
chief. though pledged to another, says that
Cleveland can carry New York : he states
truth which parelYzes a claim made with
che view TO catch the support Of those who
follow bltndlY the ends of eXpediency.
Cleveland can not only carry New York.
but be can sweep the country. Organize
and save your party from defeat. The sue
cess of Cleveland is the triumph of the peo-
ple."

BLAINE's STATEMENT.
All the Clubs and Drawing Rooms OF
Washington Discussing It,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 80. - Secretary
Blaine's statement was talked about more
than anything else in Washington to-day
at the capitol, in the clubs and the drawing
rooms. 1t was the chief topic in all its as
poets, for it was held by many to have a
political aspect, indicating more plainly
than any direct statement could have done
that Secretary Blaine will never again be a
candidate for the presidency. or course
the Blaine extremists and ultra anti-Harri-
son men, who still talk of nominating Sec
retary Blaine in spite Of himself, took no
such view of it. Opinions differed
on the actual merits of the case
apparentlya much after the statement had
been read as before. OF course 1t was no
more possible TO obtain interviews for pub
hcation on this phase of ID than on the
political phase, but while the statement did
secure sympathy for the Blaines. which
their silence had repelled, it did not seem to
diminish the volume Of sympathy for Mrs.
James G. Blaine, Jr. Her friynds found it
as difficult to recognize the portrait drawn
of her by the secretary as they did to recoR-
nize the portrait drawn by him of her
husband.
FATHER DUCEY's LETTER.
A reporter to-day asked Secretary Blaine
for copy Of the letter from Father Ducey
.h topiJ w OocEethry DlalDeB letter censur-
ing him for the part he took in the secret
marriage of J. G. Blaine, Jr, TO Miss
Nevins. Secretary Blaine replied that he
had no objection to the publication of the
letter, but that he would not give it out
himself. 1t was Father Ducey's privilege
to publish it. He added, casually, that the
letter didno amount to anything.
YOUNG MRS. BLAINE TO REPLY.
Sioux FALLS. S. D.. Feb. 29.-The per-
sonal statement Of Secretary Blaine, with
reference TO his sons marriage and divorce,
was not seen by Mrs Blaine, Jr., nor her
attorney until after noon to-day. Secretary
Blaine's letter was this Afternoon read to
her counsel, Judge Palmer. He listened
attentively to every word, and at the cons
clusion expressed surprise that Secretary
Blaine should have written such letter.
Have you any reply to make" was asked.
"A very complete answer can and proba-
bly, will be made" said the judge, "but ]
shall advise my client to say nothing In
haste and without due consideration. What
reply she makes will be as carefully pre-
pared as the letter OF Secretary Blaine
was"
This afternoon Mrs. Blaine declined to be
interviewed, saying that for the present she
did not care to make any statement to the
public
