The manner in which Bonaparte got lila arm* from the Austrians is nothing compared with the way Socklesa Simp son hustled himself Into the other fel low’s socks and shoes, too, for that mat- ter. That the Hon. Jerry wear* socks there is no doubt, for many who were at the rally Tuesday saw them. He not only wears socks,'but he wears a splendid quality of "silk mixed" balbriggan un derwear, and when he sleeps bedecks himself in a night robe of spotless white all embroidered with daisies and daffo dils and fastened with buttons of gold. A Toe Times-Recorder reporter had occasion to go In the alliance statesman's room at tho Allen House while the Hon. Jerry was In bed. He responded to the knock of Col. Livingston, about 11 o’clock at night. The president of the Georgia Alliance was welcomed in, and so was the reporter. There stood Mr. Simpson, with the gentle breezes wrap ping the hems of the snowy garment already described about his shins, while tho half burned match which he held In his hand revealed to the reporter’s eyes a scene In the background which thrilled him through and through. Close by the bed, and almost under it, was a pair of ordinary looking $5 laco shoes, dust stained and which would size up about an 8. On top of these; folded and pushed down just the least bit, arranged as carefully as If they were the property of some tidy old maid; there rested—a pair of socks. These adornments of the pedal extreme- ties were of the British variety, solid white save a yellow band about the upper edge and four or fire small streaks of dust which could be plainly seen by the dim match light. They were socks—not legs, as the Kansan has been charged by some with donning since he has been twitted so a uch about bis neglect of that article of gentleman’s wardrobe. They had feet and all, as Col. Livingston himself can witness. Hon. Jerry had discarded his glasses for the night and as he stood beforo his visitors, embraced by bis night robe which was spurred on by the wind which was cheated out of blowing through Senator Peffor’s wliiskera by the non-arrival of that statesman who received the bill lading for the first load of hell, as Mr. Simpson called Iagalls, his bare feet planted firmly on the floor, he was an ordinary looking man. The first remark he made after the greetings proved he was but mortal. It was “Livingston, I would have stayed up, but the infernal colio knocked me out so badly that if the strongest plank In the Ocala platform hadstrnck me In the same locality it wouldn’t have hurt any worse.” The lamp was lighted, to show that the only chair in the room was adorned by the two unmentlonahlei of gentle men’s underwear of a light tan color, which shown! on the face of them that they were part'silk. On one garment was stamped "38,” and on the other "32” ahowed up in bold relief. Cot. Livingston and Mr. Simpson talked awhile, then the Colonel and tha reporter withdrew, leaving the congress- man-elect from Kansas to sweet dreams of the days when he followed the plow, with nothing but a pair of brogans to encumber hit feet Another discovery was made by the reporter. The alUancemen want and demand vital changes In the government, but they are satisfied to stick to the drinks of our daddies—good old demo cratic drinks. Soon after they arrived Monday night they gave aa order. Thla Is what it was: For Gen. Weaver, a whiskey straight; for Col. Livingston, a mint jolep; for 1 Lecturer Copeland, a long toddy; It. C. C. Post, the only Georgian at tfe f Cincinnati third party meeting, a toddy. r Mr. Simpson displayed his democracy while here by indulging in the Kentucky beverage—straight old bourbon. Mow that 11 lias been discovered that these gentlemen wear soeks and know what la best to drink, let the people sod the press gat un i “something better” than tha no sock, business oatheHoo.

Crisp, the speaker of the next bouse of representatives Is back from New York, where lie made the leading spjcch at Tammany’s ’fourth of July celebration. He arrived at 1 KM o’clock yesterday and taking a hack went directly to hia home. He has been gone over two weeks and la glad to got back to Ameri cas again. When be alighted from the train Judge Crisp was covered with dust, He reported It very hot and dusty riding. During his stay In New York Judge Crisp circulated among the people con siderably. His speech before the Tam many braves was pronounced one of the best efforts ever heard by that organiza tion. It put Crisp speakership stock way up above par and undoubtedly made votes for the greatest democrat of them all—Charles F. Crisp of Georgia. It has beon given out that Judge Crisp will certainly get the vote of twenty-one of New York’s democratic congressman and, more than likely, of the entire dele gation. That will give him the balance of power, and when Georgia casts nine— and it may be ten—votei for him, while the other southern, eastern nnd western democrat! come up in a proportion almost aa great there will be no doubt bis choice. Conservative men who are In a position to estimate say that he will be chosen on the first ballot On his way home Judge Crisp spent several days in Washington. He reports everything fearfully dull thore and that all the beads of departments are out of the city. He also made a short stay In Atlanta, where ho went to see General Phil Cook, who was so badly hurt last week by being run over by a hack. He says that Gen. Cook Is painfully and se riously hurt, but that he Is in nothing like a dangerous condition. Ha takes the affair with that deliberate coolness which has always characterized him and says that he will soon be himself again. . The probabilities are, however, that the old war horse will be a cripple the balance of his days. While in Atlanta Judge Crisp was taken In charge by Capt Evan P. How ell of the Constitution, who invariably introduced him as “the next speaker of the national house of representatives." Speaking of Tammany’s great celebra tion of Independence’s Birthday, Judge Crisp said: ‘There was an immense crowd there, and much enthusiasm was msnifested. Tammany Is the best and most compact political organization , in the country, and wields a power in polities.” When asked about the presidential sit uation, the next speaker replied; As regards New York, that Is hard to say. Cleveland baa many friends there, and Gov. Hill is undoubtedly very strong. He is a model man, they say, and I have been told that be neither drinks, smokes, ohews, or has any vices at all, Aa between he and Cleveland he would carry New York. It may be bet ter, though, for some outside man, Gor man of torn* strong man from the west, to, ije nominated .(him for either Cleve land or Hill. As regards the country at large, I believe aqy good democrat, who is In tooob with tbs party la all matters, could and would be elected president” “What about your chances for the speakership P’ he was asked. Judge Crisp smiled and replied; “Web, I think they' are good, If I can only bold my ground. I have more votes than any other single candidate, but whether I will have as many as all the candidates or not, I can’t say.” Judge Crisp is very hopeful of his election, and Is making tho. vaoo In the most frieadly manner. He refers to his opponents In the kindest terms possible, and spoke of Benton McMillln as “Mac.” Jndge Crisp expects to hear of Camp bell's nomination in Ohio and subse quently of his election. It that proves tho case, as he is confident It will, Campbell will no doubt be considerably discussed by those who are to name a presidential candidate for the democrats, so Jndgs Crisp thinks. JAS.
