H« i. the fluent of .Indite Crisp. Whom He
Will Support for Speaker—He Talk.
Freely and Forcibly on Many Mat-
ten Political
Americas has a distinguished visitor
within her borders this tnorning.
Hon. Amos J. Cummings, congress
man from the ninth district of New
\ ork, Sunset Cox’s old district, is the
guest of Hon. Charles F. Crisp. Mr.
Cummings will be here until Wednesday
afternoon, when he will go direct to
Xew York, where he also holds a re
sponsible position on the staff of the
Sun. He is on his return home from
Fort Morgan, off Mobile, where be went
with the ‘‘Browder Club” on a fishing
frolic, at the request of Congressman
Herbert of Alabama. There w as no
politics in this trip. It was a congenial
party. Plenty of fish were caught and
all enjoyed themselves.
Mr. Cummings simply stopped over j for a drive around the city with Judge
me As it looks to me the darkey fan
be left alone by politicians. He can
take care of himself, lie has his best
snap right here. When we were subjects
of Great Britain wo had to work out our
own salvation. The darkey will have
to do the same, ami ho will never do It
until he is left alone to depend on him
self.’’
In answering what he thought of
Americus Mr. Cummings said:
“I have not seen much of Americus,
but from what I have seeu I can say you
have one of the prettiest towns in the
south. You are high, excellently loca
ted in the piny woods. I see no reason
why, if it had the proper accommoda
tions Ameiicus could not be as great a
winter resort as Aiken or Thomasvllle.”
Just then Elbert Head came in dressed
in the clothes he was freed in. Mr.
Cummings argued politics with him for
awhile and then inquired about his life.
The conversation was at once interesting
and amusing. Elbert told Mr. Cum
mings in the most matter of fact way
that he is a republican because he is
black. The Xew York congressman In
dulged a laugh at that.
When Elbert left, Mr. Cummings went

here to shake hands with the speaker of
the next house. A Timeh-Recordbr re
porter took him in tow, however, and
asked him his opinion of the people’s
party as launched upon the country by
the St Louis convention. He said:
“I don’t think it can ever come to
much. There are too many elements in
it that cant’t fuse. I don’t see how the
farmer’s alliance of the south can fuse
with the socialistic and so-called labor
elements of the north. Their conven
tion was not based on population or
votes. Kansas had as many delegates
as all the balance of the country togeth
er. South Carolina, which was carried
by the farmer’s alliance last fall had one
delegate. Kansas had four hundred and
seventy odd. I think that at the com
ing convention, in February I believe it
is, these sarao incongruities will exist.
You can’t make acid, oil and water as
similate. That is what tho people’s
party is trying to do. I think that they
will find that tho democratic party will
come closer to giving the relief they
want than any other party, and that tho
strong men among them will recognize
this fact. Tho movement, therefore, will
If anything, injure the republican party
and benelit democracy. In New York
the farmer’s alliance has no strength at
at all.”
When asked his opinion as to who
would make the best presidential race
for the democrats Mr. Cumming an
swered:
“Well, If I had to name a Xew York
man I should say that IIlll Is the strong
est man. At the same time I would say
that New York is a democratic state,
and I believe she would give Gorman,
Gray, Carlisle, Palmer or any other good
man from twenty to thirty thousand ma
jority. I don’t think the presicential
nomination will be confined to Hill and
Cleveland. I have nothing against
Cleveland. IIo made a good president
and has many friends in Xew York, but
his friends aro not active politicians.
The political organizations aro with
Ilill against Cleveland. I couldn’t
say, however, who would make the best
candidate. The people of the south
know better who they want than I do.
I have no idea but what any domocrat
can carry the whole south. I think
that If the farmers’ alliance retains the
strength that it has shown in Kansas,
Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota and
Iowa that the election of the next presi
dent will bo thrown into the 'house of
representatives. In that case the demo
cratic candidate will certainly be se
lected.”
Then the reporter asked Mr. Cum
mings if the papers had quoted him
rightly in saying that he would make
personal preferences do away for the
preferences of the Xew York del
egation in the speakership question.
This and other questions elicited this
answer:
“Long before Crisp was ever thought
of for speaker, as soon as Carlisle was
elected senator; I understood that Mills
would under no circumstances accept
the speakership. In that case, I looked
upon Crisp as the legitimate successor
of Carlisle. I have nursed no Mills
boom, hor have I had to do with the
speakership. I never spoke to Crisp
about ft until I saw him here. I have
said that Crisp is ray first choice, and
McMillan second. I spoke personally
then without having consulted any
northern democrat, and It was based
upon my experience In tho house of
representatives. Upon viewing the
whole field I thought that the interests
of tho party required tho selection of
Crisp. He had been chairman of
the leading committee during the fiftieth
congress, selected not by tho speaker,
but by his party associates on tho floor
of the house in caucus. He acquitted
ldmsclf more than creditably, and led
the fight on that same committee in the
fifty-first congress. That committee is
the committee on elections. Ii Is really
the leading committee, although most
people fancy the ways and means com
mittee that committee.”
Mr. Cummings said that inasmuch as
Governor Fleming and Wilkinson Call
are not on good terms and the governor
has it in his power to niake a legal ex
cuse for withholding the certificate and
appointing another man ho doubted
