The Craze for Office,
TAtIanta Constitution

Editor constitutional would be less
than>a man if I were not grateful for
the loving words that have welcomed
my return to Georgia. We have been
here for ten days and every mail has
brought letters of brotherly and un-
selfish welcome. We left Georgia IN
the order o., providence, so do we come
back to this little town-to stay. Pa
pers and people have made US welcome.
God bless them all!
But some letters excite contempt.
One came the second day after our ar
rival in Oxford; every day has averaged
at least one. Letters begging me to
write to Mr.. Clevelard-endorsing and
urging for appointment to office men I
never saw or heard of! Because, I was
friend to their father, or their wives
are Methodists! One before me now:
the writer wants district attorneys
place. He begins: Dear friend and
BROTHER" and winds up with lamenta-
tions over my wife's rheumatism and
"prays for her recovery"! Never heard
of him before; if he had not wanted
office we all might have died of Asiatic
cholera without exciting his prayerful
nerves? Transcendentalism of hypo-
crisy is this sort Of writing.
Another from a man-silent to me
for years-and devoured with itch for
an Office he is not fit for, absolutely
mourns over my wife's rheumatism!
He will see this and it will anger him.
Be it so; that indicates bis capacity.
For three gentlemen-known init
mately all my life-I have written en-
dorsements of personal character. And
they did not wall over my wise's rheu-
matism. For another, seeking an hum
BILE clerkship, man of broken health,
will write to a senator thus:
"He is intelligent, honest and a good
accountant"
I have nothing to do with politics.
The strangers who write to me imagine
that the relation I sustain to a great
ch lrch may carry some influence! It
angers me that even fool should seek
70 use me so. What has the govern
ment to do with the church? What
has the church to do with the govern
ment? / would rather dig sassafras
roots by moonlight for living than
seek office in any such way. If the

months after his London debut, at
tended to the last by Tom Robertson.
Just before Wards death, Robertson
poured out some medicine in a glass
and offered it to his friend. Ward said:
my dear Tom, I can't take that dread
ful stuffr' "Come, come," said Robert
son, urging him to swallow the nause-
Gus drug, "there's dear fellow! Do
now, for my sake; you know I would
do anything for you" "Weuld you?'
said Ward, feebly stretching out his
hand to grasp his friends perhaps for
the last time. II would, indeed!' said
Robertson. "Then you take it," said
Ward. The humorist passed away but
few hours afterward.

The Presidents Job a Hard One.
[Bill Nye.l


I have often laid awake at night
thinking of Mr.. Cleveland up at Lake
wood in his room trying to write his
inaugural address and some one tapping
at the door to ask for an Office just as
he has almost invented a new phrase
like innocuous desuetude for the new
era, and then so many other things,
like the sugar teat islands and the
silver question, and start up wildly
and say to myself: "Who would envy
him? Who would make the long fight
in November to take up in March such
an unwelcome job?"
Therefore we must stimulate our
sons to industry by some other means
than the hope Of being president. I
would honestly rather speak in public
on the stage at a mere pittance, yet
knowing that I was doing good and
earning $3.50 per week for it, than to be
president of the United States with
cockroaches in the east room and red
ants in the cabinet.

ley, Liberty and other towns in that
section. The meetings were held, but
there was scarcely Il man present who
was not a Peewee or Third Partvite.
They were all Weaver men, who stood
with two feet upon the Ocala plat
form. Last fall they had all voted for
Weaver, Latimer and Tillman. That
was their cry throughout the CAM
'paign-Weaver, Latimer and Tillman.
Sometimes they varied it slightly with
out changing its political Significance,
so that it would read Latimer, Weaver
and Tillmap. Last fall the campaign
was hot up in Pickens, and at the last
moment a great change occurred in
many votes. Just how it came about
nobody except the voters know, but
here is the record. George Johnstone
had made a good Congressman and
was strong in the county. 1t was
thought that the Weaver men were
going to support him, but they did
not. On the Sunday night preceding
the election Alliance. caucuses were
held, and like all Alliance caucuses IN
that section they were largely attended
by Weaverites. What took place at
those secret gatherings will probably
never be known. Some Of them were
protracted late into the night. I, my
self, spoke to q man, who said he re-
mained in the hall until several hours
after midnight. What matters were
discussed or what arguments were
used are matters for Mr.. Latimer and
his friends to say, but the facts remain
that on the day of election the Weaver
men voted for A. G. Latimer to man.
A revolution had taken place. John
stones good record was powerless to
hold his former supporters; in the
twinkling of an eye and with perfect
unanimity Weaver men became Lati-
mer men,"
Here is something else worth men
tioning in this connection: "Do you
know" said the same gentleman,
that all the Republicans in Pickens
County voted for Latimer and Till
man: You are aware, of course, that
there are number Of regular old-line
Republicans in Pickens County-men
whose ancestors were Wings and Fed
eralists. Their descendants have held
inviolate the faith Of their forefathers,
and since the war they have voted the
Grand Old Party tickets to man. I
am personally acquainted with many
of them and know what I am talk
ing about. Of my personal know
ledge I know that the leading Repub-
lican in the county voted for Latimer
and Til!man and Harrison, and I have
been given to understand by persons
in position to know that that was
the ticket voted by the rank and file
of the men I'Te been telling you
about"

THE company wants the men 10 sign
an iron-clad that the company may die
tate prices and conditions and hours OF
labor. We have to-day notified all COM
panies in Ohio to refuse to load coal
for the Nail Works Company
and II such mines load coal for this
company, the mines will be closed until
the trouble is settled, We have assur-
ance from the company which has been
furnishing coal for the nail works COM
pany that they will get no union coal
from Thorn. Miners are confident and
determined to stand, confident to win,
and are prepared TO stand as long as the
mill company can afford TO buy coal at
a higher price than they can produce
il. The miners, before stopping work,
had offered the mill company more IA
vorable terms than several mill mines
had compiled with, and all efforts to
prevent a conflict have deem ignored
and treated with contempt. This COM
pany and the Standard Company at
Bridgeport are the only two companies
in Ohio who have refused TO comply
with the terms" Mr.. Nugent will
leave this morning for his home at

had not gone more than 500 yards when

Another shot followed when BAKER
