had admonished him, and, on 'inclem-

in safety. Whenever he could not dis
suade him from going to excess, he let
him have weak dram or two more,
sure that if he did not the poor fell
low. in accord with his threat, would
go elsewhere and do worse Occa-
sionally he could win him several
weeks from his besetting sin, and in
the interval get him some clerical
work, which he did with nicely Of
execution that nobody in town could
equal On the streets he was always
in gay spirits, and his comments
upon persons and things were listened
to with at least as much attention as
they deserved. One day, while one OF
q knot of men on the sidewalk of
Wayne street before Rainer's store,
being in loquacious mood, he said:
81 don't care how far behind big
town Milledgeville is, it's got as many
good people in it, according to popula-
ton, as any of 'e1n. I'm not a-speak-
ing of preachers, and leading church
professors. and women. They're all
good, of course, with a few exceptions
no time to stop and mention. But
outside of them. that of course natchly
claims to be perfect, my opinion is Gus
Rachels is a man that amt SO very far
behind the most Of the best of EN-,
even if he isn't any more than a gro
cervkeeper.''
Among the listeners was old Mr..
Lishy Flint, who lived near the En-
lows. and near where the Alnersons
dwelt before they moved to town.
Once or twice month, on a Saturday,
he came into town, and. after taking a
toddy at Rachel's, walked and sat
about on the streets until it was time
for him to start upon his return home.
His chief boast was that he was a law
abiding citizen. whose advice to every
body would be to keep out of disputes
of every kind except such as were
harmless in their possible conse-
quences. and when these were serious
to submit to reasonable compromises
rather than plunge or be plunged in
judicial litigation.
''And who would you put down for
the bad ones, Owen?" he asked.
'Well, now. Uncle Lishy," Caruth-
ers answered, there isn't, to my opin-
ion, there isn't what I'D call bad

The PonS Are IN it, Too.

The congressional convention OF
the populists for the Tenth District
met in Memphis yesterday morning
and III addition to the transaction of
other business, nominated a candi-
date for congress.
Richard Rawlings, of Bingham
ton, is the man who will chat with
J. w. Brown, the republican nomi-
nee, as they journey up the saline
river in November.
About thirty delegates from Shell
by, Fayette, Upton, and Hardeman
assembled in the rooms over 224
Front street, and organized by elect
leg w. G. Robinson, of Somerville,
chairman and Pitkin G. Wright, of
Memphis, secretary.
After the nomination of Mr.. Raw
lings who had no opposition, a cam
paign committee was chosen, con-
sisting of Robinson, Wright, Sam
uel III. Gibson, DIR. William Hewett
and gentleman named Needham,
of Hardeman County.
Following this came the platform.
1t is a composite of planks taken
from the state and national plat
forms. 1t demands national cur
rency, safe, sound and flexible, is
sued by the generel government on
ly, full legal tender for all debts,
public and private, without the use
of banking corporations; a just,
equitable and efficient means of dis
tribution direct to the people. 1t
demands free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold at the present ra-
ito of 16 to /. 1t demands that the
amount of circulating medium be
speedily increased to not less than
$50 per capita.
1t opposes the issuance of bonds,
either national or state and approves
the present poll tax law. These are
the chief ideas embodied. Com

Mr.. Cleveland.

Gov. Oates, in his speech at the
Tabernacle last night, related a
conversation between himself and
President Cleveland that served to
show the firm nobility of the Presi-
dents character. Coz. Oates is
himself a confessed partisan and
though strongly attached to Mr..
Cleveland, thinks the President
should constitute himself more of q
leader of the democracy. 'But, !"
said he, "the President will not use
his Office for party advantage. :"
Continuing, the speaker said: 81
voted for the seignOrage coinage
bill and plead with him to sign it.,
l said to him, Mr.. President, $685.
900, 600 is a comparatively small
sum and no harm can come from
that amount to the silver
currency already ON hand, and then
it would allay this clamOr brought
about by the suspension of silver
coinage and take the issue out of
the campaign. Democrats are very
much divided down my way, and
this act on your part would re-unite
them. 1 think you ought to do
this for the good of the party"
The President looked at me and said;

ples?"

"Then it should live by those

EVERY democratic congressman

will be members of the saith Con-

will carry two of the congressional

bat the surroundings in those dis

Nor a single pOpulite member of
the senate voted for the Wilson tar
if bill, which places bagging, ties,
plows, mowers, reapors, and other
agricultural implements on the free
list. The bill was passed too late
for farmers to reap any benefit this
season from having bagging and ties
placed on the free list, but in the
purchase of articles next spring on
which the tax has been removed,
the decline in price will be noticeable
and populIte and republican farmers
will then probably be convinced that
their representatives in congress who
voted against the repeal of the tax
on such implements, voted adverse
" TO their interests. That the tariff
is tax will be proven by the opera
tion of the Wilson bill.
