Washington. Feb. 2.
 The fact that the selection of dele gates to the National Democratic Con- vention has begun to ferment in Geor- gia. along with a considerable agitation of the cause of Congressman William R. Hearst, has moved Senator Alexander stephens Clay to make the following press of Georgia:
 T have no personal choice for the Dem ocratic nomination. At present tho most available men appear to be Judge Par ker, of New York, and Senator German, of Maryland.
 gro win in the next election will be a difficult task. and we cannot hope to win unless we select candidate strong in New York, New Jersey. Conr ccticut, In- diana. Illinois, Delaware and Maryland. We must necessarily carry most of those States to elect our candidate. It would be the supremest folly to nominate a candidate who is not strong in those States.
 "We must adopt a conservative plat form that will command the respect and support of the business interests of the country, and which will also unite again the discordant elements that have divided the Democratic Party. I have lost pa tience with the continued assaults our Democratic leaders have been making upon each other. They should turn their batteries upon the Republican Party.
 T have no desire to formulate any plan for controlling or electing the dele gation in favor of any candidate, but I sincerely hope Georgia will support a candidate of high character who has earned a place in the history of the par ty that would make him a worthy nomi- nee of the party of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.
