Spring Poetry.

The following stanza is a good
illustration of multum in parvo, and
obtained prize tor its author in a
contest for the best poem on
spring, which was held in Bolivar
more than so years ago:
FThe GODDESS of spring,
As she passed down the vale,
Left her robe on the trees,
And her breath ON the gale"

A leading populite of Hardeman
County was in our Office this week
to renew his subscription to the
BULLETIN. Speaking of politics,
he said: 81 have been a member
of the populite party since its in
cipiency, because l believe in its
principles. At first, was ridicu-
led for aligning myself with such
an organization. l have walked
the streets of Bolivar aud overheard
(1nintentionally) many unpleasant
and unkind remarks made concern
ing the populists. But lately, mat
ters seem to have changed. These
same men who spoke so harshly of
us land they belong to what is
known as the free silver element of
democracy are now seemingly the
best friends we have. On every
street corner they meet us, inquire
after our health, the health of our
families, etc. But ah, there's 'Fmeth-
cd in their madness. p" They are try
ing to hoodwink us; but the scheme
won't work. The populists were
the first to declare for free silver,
and the populists do not propose to
have their thunder stolen. We
are proud but poor, still we have
plenty of tents and an abundance
of blankets and will give all who
come into our midst the best accom-
modations possible. The free sill
yer element of democracy is without
home, adrift upon boundless sea.
They should gather together their
scattered ranks and come to the
mountain (the Peoples Party,) the
mountain cannot and will not come
to them. We are keeping right
square in the center of the public
highways and our eyes are watch
ing on either side. / have been a
subscriber to the BULLETIN for
many years. | know your paper is
opposed to our system of finance,
but am broad enough in my views
and have faith enough in your hon
esty to believe that you are advoca-
ting what you believe to be to the
best interests of the people. / admire
an honesG, open enemy. But these
free silver democrats-well, they
had better come into the populite
ranks where they belong"

Washington, Feb. 24.-Hon, Jo-
siah Patterson, of Tennessee, who
spoke ON the Monroe doctrine at the
dinner of the democratic Senate
Committee, in Boston, on Saturday,
really launched the Olney boom for
President, and stirred the Bay
State democrats to such a pitch that
the subsequent speakers came out
openly for the Secretary of State,

but the outburst Of enthusiasm for
Olney was when Mr. Patterson elo-
quently referred to him as the
t'Typical American who met the
typical Englishman, Lord Salisbu-
ry, and triumphed over him in the
field of diplomacy" 1t is said here
that Colonel Patterson made this
statement with the full knowledge
of Mr.. Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle. 1t is understood that Co
lionel Patterson will continue the
OlDey boom in Memphis soon,
where he will make a speech SINH
lar to the one he made in Boston.
The following card, from Cap
tain A. T. McNeal, of Bolivar, APP
peared in the Commercial Appeal of
last Saturday:
am not fond of going into print,
at least in any matter regarding my
self, hence it has until now seemed
unnecessary for me to say anything
through the press as to my cand ida
cy for governor. But in the last
few days it has seemed to me that 1
would do injustice to my friends
and do injustice to those who are
or will be candidates for the place
did / not give public expression to
my own position Hence / ask of
your paper the courtesy to say in
its columns that / have not been
nor will be candidate for governor.
appreciate most gratefully the
good opinion of my friends who
have desired it.
Captain McNeal was promised
the support of the leading demo
Gratis of Tennessee, and had he con.
sented to allow his name to
go before the convention he
would no doubt have received
the nomination. No man in
the state stands higher in the coun.
ellis of the party than Albert Nc
Neal. If party ever owed a debt
to man, the democracy of Tennes
see owes debt to Capt. McNeal,
and it would gladly pay that debt,
but he refuses to accept it. His re-
fusal will be a disappointment to
thousands of his friends throughout
the state.
