frrorn our Regular Correspondent


w.suSaros. August t3.--Several OF tho
members of tho House who have Just
returned from q visit to New lorx
stats that arrangements are peins
made at the headquarters OF the Ne
tional Democratic Committee in that CITY
10 circulate a mass Of telling campaign
literature independent OF what VIII De senI
out from Washington py the Coongresslohass
Committee and the National League ol
Democratic Clubs, both OF wnicn ha'e 'neh
headquarters here.
The National Committee from New York
will distribute some excellent matter on
tho force bill, and will also present 10 tne
consideration of the voters OF the coun-
trv tho checkered career OF General James
b. Weaver, tho candidate OF the so-called
Peoples party.
II Is believed that as soon as tho south
ern ueople are fully acquainted with tne
record Of Weaver very few will care TO
l,nger longer IN the nondescript camp.
Weaver has been member OF Ealf dozen
nolitlcal parties and Is chronic ONCE
seeker. He has been long IN none, ana
would lust as soon start out next year
with the fourth" party, II such con-
Germ were TO set up IN the ottce-hunting
business.
OBJECTION TO LAWYERS.
One of the strangest things that puzzles
mon Of the old parties is that tor two years
or more the Alliances, Changers, Green-
hackers and labor unions have been OPP
posed to so many lawyers being nomi-
mated for office, and men OF the Jerry
Simpson type have wildly denounced the
legal profession, regardless OF the ability
and standing Of any one connected there
with. When the so-called Peoples or
THIRD party was about 10 meet IN conyen-
tlon at Omaha its leaders tried to induce
judge Gresham TO become their candidate.
They also held out inducements 70 Senator
Morgan, of Alabama. These gentlemen are
ornaments to the legal profession, and
could either have been induced 20 head
the ticket placed before the country at
Omaha there would have been stir IN the
political field. The Judge, however,
knew that If he took the nominal
ton it would only result IN the
defeat of tho Republican party without
benehting him or a new cause. aud the
Senator was aware that his acceptance
meant probable defeat 70 the Democratic
party and no gain to himself Both being
welded TO the parties with which they
have so long affiliated, 1t was impossible 10
coax them into committing such nonsense
as TO think of accepting the nomination.
TIE LEGAL WEAVER.
Tie Omaha gathering falling there
fore b procure distinguished law
yer. TOOK a broken-down, playe i-out law
yer in the person of General Neaycr-a
man who 10 reported TO own nothing IN
the shape OF real estate, who was con-
spicuous failure at the bar, and who, when
a full-hedged member of the Republican
party, heaped calumny upon Democrats IN
general and southern people in particular.
l. is not strange, then. that the Demo-
cratic committees mentioned above have
determined TO enlighten the people on the
record of the South hating blatbersklte
from Iowa. The southern congressman
will all be on the stump IN "a se9 days, and
those who have lately been in the city ex-
press the greatest confidence IN the ability
Of tho Democrats to hold the South
solidly in iue IN view of the obnoxious
man the Omaha convention has offered tie
country for President.
