From the Irwin county corres
pondcnce of tbe llawkinsville Pis
patch we dip tho following regard
ing Congressman Crisp In that sec
tion;'by wliloh It will be seen that
he ia proving himself to bo a popu
iar representative:
Our able representative in Con
gress, the Hon. C. F. Crisp, has re
cently established a new post-oUlco,
or rather n mail route, running a
noHli-cant direction from Alapaba,
terminating at the residence of M.
W.r,Faulk, a dietnneo of ilftcon
miles. . Tho oiliao at the terminus
will bo called "Paulk,’’ with the
nboVo named goiitlcman ns post
master. Thus a long felt necessity
of mail, liicilltios has been snppiioil,
and the people who appreciate this
favor will remember our Congress
man at the proper time, or when
our'liexl nomination is to be made.
Tho political tido is lower in Irwin
than it has been lor a number of
years. So much contention and
Btrlfe generally was aroused over
our last election that some of our
best citizens have almost vowed
never to oust a vole again, but wc

I touched politics incl<lJoirMf}{
anil told him of the strong wcutl-
incut in the South for his re-norol-
cation. U was almost humorous
as he leaned to me mud smilingly
said: “IVo areiall against the old
ticket in this house.”
“But the general verdict of the
party now sterns to point to the
certaiot.v of its renomination at
Chicago?”. ,. .1
“Yes, and I appreciate it, but I
will not allow tbe use of my name.
I know that I reformed the politics
of New York ten years ago. I was
more able then than now. It would
be n Herculean task to undertake
to reform now the matters oi tbe
general government. After twenty
years of mlsrnle and mismanage

and tile most vigorous (-Hurts will
be neeessary to eradicate it. 1

aamu reasons 1 now urge. They
have become atrnnger, for I am
four years older, and am more in.
Arm now than then. I would urge
that the idea be dicontiuued, for it
ie not right that I should undertake
to do that which I am practically
unable to do."
“Whom, then, do you consider
tbe most available man forjtlie Pern*
ocratsl”
He alowly shook his head aa be
replied: "Well, I don't know.
Hoadly ie a good man. His strength
in tbe Weetern states would add
much to his chances of success.
With the German vote he is very
pepiilar.and he proves gencrallyac-
ceptablc. Payne would be strong,
and could make a splendid - race.”
"And Randall.”
"An admirable man, and one who
would serve his party ami country
laitlifully.”
“Where in your opinion will tho
Republican nriniimiinn la- placed?"
"On Uluinc or Arthur. 1 sup
pose.”
"What, governor, do von think
will orslioiihl lie the leading issue
of the democracy ?”
“Reform." lie replied, "reform
should he tho issue. After u mis.
rule of 20 years the people will
stand by it. The party has it in
its own hands if it will but take
advantage of it.”
"And if you are considered to he
tlie one to save it you could not re

"1 should bnvo to. I have serv

Tins was saUl J’witli r a! positive
firmness, and as lie concluded writ.li

and Ids duration to its principles,

The history of presidential booms
is not such as tbe opponents ol tbe
“old ticket "need to be alarmed at tlie
sentiment wbicli is being worked
up at present for Messrs; Tilden
and Hendricks. U is a notable
fact that ever since tbe day when
booms were inaugurated as part of
a political campaign uo candidate
has been nominated by their aid.
Tbe boom baa generally proved a
boomerang to those who have prac
ticed with it, returning to break the
thrower’s head. A great many
presidential boom* have found an
early grave, nod we should not be
surprised if tbe boom for tho “old
ticket” was biiried before June.
