To Rattle Himself Of.

Secauous, N. j., December 81
Failing to secure wife through mat
rlmonial agents, advertisements or in
the usual way, John w. Miller, a
we'll to- do farmer, has hit upon the
original plan of putting himself up
at rattle among the women of this
district at rs cents chance, the win
ner to take him, his savings and farm
Of II acres, on the Snake Hill road.
Up to date Miller has sold I'll
tickets and says he could sell as many
more. Five colored women bought
tickets, and Miller is in despair lest
one OF them should prove the lucky
contender and carry off both him and
his worldly goods. The rattle is to
be decided to- morrow night at Mil,
ler'a home. Afterward there is to be
q real ld-fashioned New Years feast,
Miller is not venturing into the
matrimonial heaven without expert.
ence. He has been "hitohed before''
ss he expressed it, In 1899 his wife
died and hs lately decided to make
| another venture. He tried in the
usual way, but failed, perhaps be.
cause he has red board and hair.
He has tender blue eyes, but the com
bination did not convince any Of the
fair danes Of the county of his serious
ness, notwithstanding his farm and
other monetary attractions.
Miller is 81 years old, stands feet,
5 inches, and is said to be- we'll. to do.
His strange idea of rafflng himself
is not the result, he says, Of a whim
but because he wishes to find a wife
He declares he will abide by the con
ditions he made, but admits that he
is "mighty nervous" for fear one O
the i've negresses will draw the win
] ming chance.

York to win. The history of the
party demonstrates that, and the ro
suits Of the last election, when the
West returned to it's Republican love,
confirmed it.
1t was maxim Of the late la

who prophesied concerning political
events to happen within one hundred
years was a fool with emphasis.
The uncertainty of politics add some
weight to the maxim, but one is tax.

Tillman has a Right.

Here is Senator Tillman,s com.
mont Oh nomination Of Crum to be
collector at Charleston, which was
sent to the Senate on Monday:
$50 far as this special case is con.
cerned, can not SEQ that Crum is
given this place for any other reason
than thet he is a negro, and if the
qualifications requisite to federal ap-
pointments are hereafter to be that
the prospective appointees shall be
black, white men of the South will
be compelled to object The Presi-
dent seems to stand on certain line
Of policy which indicates the politi,
cal considerations paramount just
now. There seems to be race on
for delegates to tho next national
Republican convention. I do not
think thtt in any STATE public Offices
ought to be parcelIed out along any
settled basis of distribution. Through
out the State of South Carolina the
majority Of white mon have protest cd
against this nomination of Crum.
There are not 500 white mon in the
whole State who will endorse this
selection. We think the President
could have selected some reputable
white Republican for the place with
ont subjecting ua to this mortifica
ton. He could have oven gone tc

CLEVELAND THE TALK
Of Democrats In Some Sections Of tho
Country.

Washington, Jan. 8.--Democrata
from the West and South are appa-
rently alarmed over what appears to
them to be an organized movement
which has for it's purpose the pre-
sentation of Grover Cleveland as a
candidate for the next Democratic
nomination for the Presidency.
There have been Indications Of q
movement in that direction for some
time. Every utterance Of the ex-
President has been given the widest
publicity, and discussed at length by
the Democrats who have been seek
ing for some time to secure reor-
ganization of the party along old
lines. The last form of this effort
to press Mr.. Cleveland's availability
upon the Democrats hos been in a
series OF articles and interviews
showing the magnificent physical
condition Of Mr.. Cleveland. The
public has been assured with much
detail that the former President 10
losing flesh, that his "eye Ia as bright
and his step as firm as in 1887"
There is an intimation that he is tax
ing a keener interest in public af-
fairs.
While the active reorganizers of
the party would probably welcome
Mr.. Cleveland as candidate in 1904,
the Democrats of the West and
South are not prepared to make such
a radical departure from the Democ-
racy Of Bryanism. Recent inter
views with Congressman Clark and
Cochran of Missouri, Cooper Of Texas,
jackson Of Kansas and other Demo
Gratis from the former Bryan stroDg-
holds now indicate that they are
ready to take an Eastern Democrat
for their candidate, but will not be
satisfied with candidate who did
not support the Democratic tickets
in 1896 and 1900, whether be be.
lieved IN free silver or not.

Presidential Possibilities.
Birmingham News. ]

IoWS
No longer does it appear that de.
feat for the Democrats is inevitable
in the next campaign. There is q
chance for their success, aud the
prospects brighten as the struggle
approaches. With hope of victory
has come search for suitable material
for leadership.
These names have been suggested:
Gorman, Olney and Parker. The
last named is now being doomed with
persistency which inspires the sus-
plcion that it is systematic. Judge
Alton B. Parker is very worthy New
York jurist and Democrat. For sew
eral campaigns he might have had
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor Of New York but declined the
honor, for what reason ls not certain,
although it may be surmised that he
was unwilling to be made victim Of
certain defeat There is not blem-
ish upon the reputation Of Judge
Parker, and his ability as a Judge
and lawyer has ample attestation.
In national politics, however, he is
practically unknown, and the wisdom
of nominating him will be seriously
questioned.
Arthur Pue German will have a
following in the convention unless
all signs fail. He has strong and
powerful advocates, and, being O
past master of the art Of politics,
will make the best showing possible
with his support. German is too
much manipulation, however to
make an ideal candidate, and the
probabilities against his selection are
very great
There has beea an unmistakable
tide toward Richard Olney in the
past few months, growing in volume
as it progresses Olney is unques.
'ion"biy one of The biggest men in
America He demonstrated his ca.
paci'y and backbone while Attorney
General and Secretary Of State re-
apectively in the Cleveland cabinet.
