CLEVELANDtNOTTTYT.

according to report OF an intt;-
view had with our representatives in
Congress by correspondent of the
Atlanta Journal, the following name d
gentlemen are for the Democratic
nomination for President:
Senator Tillman personally favors
German. Not committed to anv
candidate, but will support any gcod
Democrat who has always been loyal
to the party platform.
Senator Latimer personally prefers
Gorman or Parker, CIR any other man
who can carry New York and some CT
the Other. eastern States.
Wyatt Aiken: Parker or Gormon.
sS,George S. Legare: gParl1cr or Cor
man.
ID. Edward Finley: Parker.
Robert B. Scarborough Parker or
German.
Joseph t. Johnson: l am for Sen
ator Bailey, Of Texas, for the Demo
cratic nomination. We have waited
for more than six mouths for New
York to make choice, and we were
disposed to follow a New York leader.
New York having failed to unite upon
any one, | am for Senator Bailey. q
man we will not have to apologize for
win or lose.
Asbury L. Lever: Parker. He is
decidedly the most available man for
the party to nominate.
From the foregoing it is very evi-
dent that none Of our representatives
considered Grover Cleveland as Dos.
sible nominee Of the National Demo
cratic party, although Mr.. Cleveland
has been brought very prominently
before the public for the past month
or more as the coming man in the
next National Democratic conyen-
ton. Some of the leading negspa-
pers have offered to bet that he would
be the nominee for president.

COTTON BULL FAILS.

The greatest sensation ever created
In the cotton market was that on the
18th Of March when Dan j. Sully,
the great bull of the market, suspend
ed operations. Cotton fell thirteen
dollars bale in five minutes. The
tumble down was so great that con-
sternation prevailed among the cot
ton exchanges; like a shock from u
clap Of thunder from u clear sky, cot
tom has continued to decline. Sully
has made an assignment for the BEN
eft of his creditors. Much rejoicing
is manifested over the failure of the
great bull.

EXTRAVAGANCE IN
STATE OFFICE.

1t sometimes does good, and some
times no good, to tell the people that
their representatives in the legisla-
lature had been too lavish with the
public money, by making extrava-
CANT appropriations for the different
purposes of the State. The old
adage, "Where ignorance is bliss, it's
folly to be wise," might here apply,
and it would possibly be well for the
newspapers to keep silent; but we
conceive it to be the province of a
newspaper to keep it's readers Inform

Pretty Lena Winters tripped into
the shoe store of E. Perkins & Co.
and walked directly up to the sour
visaged proprietor.
90, Mr.. Perkins," she said, in her
most coaxing tones and manner,
won't you buy a ticket to the wish
bone social our church is to give
Thursday night-only 25 cents?"
She looked so sweet and winsomo
that Walter Hodge, standing near,
wondered how anyone could refuse
her anything she asked.
twenty-five cents, however, looked
more handsome to E. Perkins than
any vision of feminine beauty
mo, 1 won't" he snapped out. Its
nothing but give, give all the time,
and the more we give the bigger the
church debt grows. It's just a big
steal cloaked under rummage sales,
fairs and all kinds of tomfoolery-
just to give you women a chance to
CAD and hear an entertainment. You
amt working for the Lord. You're
just trying to have a good time and
catch fellow
Walter Hodges eyes looked danger
GUS, but Lena's only twinkled mer-
rily.
"Oh, Mr.. Perkinsi" she said, "you
don't know how hard we work. It's
no play to get up church entertain
ment.''
Il tell you that you don't know
what work is I'd give 500 to see
any two of you church women do a
half a days work-mans work,
mean. If you could pillow a field,
you'd know what real work is"
Deacon Holmes had dropped in dur
ing this conversation and was a ST.
lent, but interested listener
Lena contemplated Mr.. Perkins re-
fectively for a moment
You've given me a new idea, Mr..
Perkins," she said thoughtfully. 81
was the member chosen to get I'D
some sort of an entertainment this
week. My wits suggested nothing
but wishbone social. Now 1 shall
do as you suggest With your 500
and the number of tickets l shall sell
for such a novel entertainment the
church will realize handsomely"
What do you mean? Come back
herei" cried Mr.. Perkins
But Lena was vanishing down the
street That night in the tri-weekly
issue of the Hollyville Patriot ap-
peared the following announcement:
&c. Perkins, the well-known shoe
dealer, has offered 500 to see any

TN collect of Perkins," vosun
teered Walter, and as it was a com
mission no one else sought, he went
alone to call on the irate shoe dealer,
Il didn't mean it, and I'll never pa
it," he cried wrathfully. I'm sur
prised at your expecting me to, Wal
ter Hodgei I thought you were a
friend of mine"
Il am, Mr.. Perkins," replied Wal
ter gravely. land that is why 1 have
come to you-to give you a pointer.
A great many of the church members
anticipated your refusal to pay, and
will meet it by a resolution to boy
colt your shoe trade, and you know
what stuff the women of that church
are made of-you saw it in their at
ternoon's work. What they set out
to do they'll do. My advice to you
as from one business man to another
is to pay the 500, which is the
cheapest way out"
So, with groans and imprecations
the old miser wrote his check for
800, and Walter triumphantly took
it to Lena's father, who was the GUS
todian of the church funds.
I'll believe anything now" was the
comment of Mr.. Winters, as he read
the check.
Then he looked at Walter and gave
an odd little laugh.
You'd better go down and see
Lena, Walter
why, Mr.. Winters gasped Wal
ter, do you mean it,"
Yes; / can't help myself, Walter,
and perhaps it's just as well. Run
along. Lena will explain matters"
will you tell me how this hap
pens, Lena?" asked Walter joyfully
a few moments later.
ct was just like this: When told
at dinner the other day about plow-
ing the field and Mr.. Perkins, papa
said: Don't ever expect impossible
tiles, Lena. You can't pillow a field,
and you can't make old Shylock Per
kins pay 'What'n you bet, papa?'
asked. Anything he replied, All
right I answered. If we pillow and
Mr.. Perkins pays, Walter shall come
to the house again. He agreed He
didn't expect me to win, but, Walter,
he was glad of chance to give in
gracefully, for 1 know he likes you"

When joe" he said, was a little
fellow, visitor, calling at my house

The visitor sat down on one of the
chairs and Joe demonstrated
Here he said. this is a train of

Every WE'LL said the visitor, I'll

But Joe didn't want this grown-up
