Potter's views urn not binding on bis
party. Ntdssly pretends that nre, but
it Is perfectly proper to quoto these re
marks as showing Hie tendency of U,»

of Hie fuot that tile nunc tendency Is
disclosed In the speeches and In the
n insures Introduced In congress hy
oilier mm thosen by tho Populists as
most worthy of representing tliem.
■Mr. Iludson, a member of tbe lower
house of congress. Us a Populist, mid we
notice tn our Populist exchanges that
he Is referred to la terms of admiration
and respect. One of the bills Introtlueetl
by hltn provide* that all pensioners
for service In the federal nrmy and
uavy dunng ilto war limy receive In
one pnymeut ten Hines the niimml

lated that this would oust the goveru-
raent kt.raMi.uuuutiu In one'year.
Mr. Daria is also a Populist con-
grossmuu of gmsl standing anil lias lu-
induced a number of bills embodying

REPUBLICANS AND POPULISTS.
In bis speeches daring this campaign
M.tJ. Bacon taut pointed out one very Im
portant fact on more than one occuHion.
Thl» Is that tho real fight In this coun
try for political control is and must for
a. lung time bo between tho Democratic
and Republican parties, tbe Populist
movement and other movement* of like
character merely weakening one or tho
other of the two. There earn be no
question ii* to which of the two parties
has been Injured by tbe l'opnllst move
ment In the South, but had there been
It would have been definitely nettled In
this state by Hie action of tbo Repub
lican convention In Atlanta
In fundamental principle there Is
much In ooramon between Populism
nnd -Republicans. Both believe In n
strongly centralized government. But
in the measures at the moment favored
Uiere Is little or nothing in common l»e-
tween them, which grow* out of the
foot that, though agreeing on certain
great principle*, the two parties ma
under the control of different and iun-
tagoulMtlc elements of the population.
Both wish to protect, to cheri*li, to be
stow fnvora upon certain classes, but
not Hie same classes. The determina
tion of the Republican managers lu
Georgia, therefore, to give tho Miipport
of their party to tiio Populist candidate
is not due to any sympathy with the
purposes of thnso candidates, but In Uio
result of a cool calculation that the
best way to Injure the Democratic par
ty IB to go into an alliance with Ua
enemies.
Tho lesson ought not to bo lost on tho
Democrat* of the slate nor upon Popu
lists who prefer Democratic to Repub
lican success. The latter may well ask
UieinselVCM if Uieir party will bo asked
to pay anything for Republican sup
port. Iiepuklkwn politicians are not In
the habit Of doing service witlnmt hope
of reward, suppose Hint with their
help tho Populist party should succeed
In electing it* candidates, would it not
depend tar continuation of its power
upon Hie Republican* nnd be compelled
to grant Die latter anything tln-y might
deraaudV Thu result would be not gov
ernment according to Populist Ideas
but government by Populist officials
largely controlled lu their aotlons by
Republican politicians. Does a ny hon
est, state-loving Populist seo io this
prospect anything that enaourages him
to believe that government would bo
better or tbo people happier? It Is
plain to us that tho extent of the gnln
by anybody would be tho limit of the
salaries drawn l>y the Populist, officials,
wbllo tho loss to tbe people lu Hie de
moralization of polities consequent
upon auch nn ulllnnce Is Inealculnhle.
The Populist movement can have no
result except to lujure the party which

Taylor Gibson tells u good story on
an old darky down In Crawford county.
The old darky caught a Une, fat
'possum, which be prepared for supper.
After tlie 'possum was cooked to ex-
uetiy the right degree he took tt off the
tire to lot-it get cool, enough to eat.
While thus waiting he dropped off to
sloop. Almut this time another darky
who was passing by got a whiff of tbe
appetizing odor arising from the hot
'possum mid thought lie would drop In
and see the old darky in the house, and
if the luvftiitiou who extended would
help him eat tbu 'possum. Hu tlrat
thought, however, he would see if the
darky had company, mid peeped
through u crack near tho chimney. No
<mc was there but tbe old man nnd lie
Was sound asleep, while the 'possum
was In a pan ou tlie hearth emitting
tbe most tempting odor the darky ou
Uio outS.de bad ever smelt. For a few
m.tauten be watched lirst tbe sleeping
darky nod then tlie 'possum, nnd then
lie decided that he could stand' it no
longer He did not sec the necessity
for taking chances on being Invited to
partake when the old dnrky awaked,
so decided to eat ft all while I he old
mini slept. Cautiously ho pushed the
door ojhbi, and in another minute he
wus Kcutcd on tho floor with the pan
between Ik's kness eating for dear life.
Thu old darky continued to’ sleep and
would occasionally smack Ills lips as
though dreaming of eating the ’pos
sum. Finally tlio negro on tho floor
picked clean tlio last bone nnd sopped
nil the gravy with tbe potatoes. Ho
then took a greasy lione nnd gently
rubbed it on the steeling darky’s lips
and bauds without awakening him.
Then as stealthily ns possible ho wont
outskle nnd watched tho old man
thnuigh the crack near the chimney.
After wtitttag some time he saw the
old man wake up, stretch himself nnd
begin to smack bis Kps. Finally be
opened Ids eyes wide and quickly
glanced at tine pan on the breath. There
a mass of clean bones greeted his ns-
toulslied gaze and he looked suspi
ciously around. Seeing no one he picked
up tlio pan and examined the hones
carefully, lie then rubbed bis touguc
ove. .Ills greasy lips and locked dubi
ously ivt bis greasy hands.
“I wonder did I eat dnt ’poksvun,” he
was lieanl to mutter to himself, nnd
then he scratched h’.s head ns If to
think. "Yes, I speots I did, case mer
motif nnd ban's am show greasy wld

ject of an address by Hon. C. H. Mansur,
second comptroller of the treasury and
an ex-congressman. He told ot Missouri's
mineral and farming lands and he* various
Industrie*. While her Iron mines were
not extensive, they had sufficient output
to cause the operation of an Iron ore
reduction furnace at Caxandalet, near St.
Louis. This Industry pan three years
and then closed down because, to it wua
popularly believed, that Eastern capital
ists haul bought it up to prevent the de
velopment of mines In tpe southwest.
(Applause.) Mr. Mansur said that If the
question whether there would be slavery
again were left to the people ot Missouri,
and the people of «H the Southern states,
It would be voted down 20 to 1.
Ma). M. M. Marks, who described him
self a* a Florida cracker, made the clos
ing address of the day. which was extem
poraneous. He described In glowing terms
the climate and resource* of the state ot
Florida. Florida wanted men with small
capital, who would buy fruit farms and
get rich. She had resource* enough to
buy up ult the mines of Alabama and all
the wheat In Missouri, and he wanted
everybody to come. The convention then
took a recess until 8 p. m.

EVENING SESSION.
There was ft fair attendance at the even
ing session, which opened with an address
by Dr. B. G. Fernow, chief of the forestry
division of the agricultural department on
the timber resources of the South., He
mid the South had a better class of tim
ber than any other pfirt of the United
States and although the Pacific coast had
a greater area in timber, the Southern
forests were nearer to the great markets.
The South had been wasteful with regard
to its Umber. Its forests had been culled
ef their best timber, thus presenting its
spread and leaving only the poorer kind.
The forests had also been allowed to burn,
thus not only destroying valuable timber,
but the fertility of the soile. Dr. Fernow
urged that the convention tell the truth
about the South and have the Southern
legislatures pass lasws for the better pro
tection from forest fires.
•M*. Yancey of Florida Indorsed Dr. Fer-
now's remarks and a reference he made
to the late Henry W. Grady, caused pro
long applause.
Something about the manufacture of
lumber In the northwest wa* told the con
vention by M. Poore of the Dubuque
board of trade. He had machinery for
manufacturing lumber to send to an avail
able place In the South. The timber re
sources of the Northern portion of which
he depended was becoming exhausted and
he was obliged to turn to the South. But
the South wanted now blood, that wae
what caused the North to be so enterpris
er. Grigsby Thomas of Columbus. Ga.,
detonded the South from tho statements
about lynching* and burnings. He “Id
he told a Scotchman, who had questioned
him about It. that ho would bring over
14,000.000 negroes from the South and
marah through England, and If ttley did
not put the working riasse* «wro to
shame for Industry, proeperlty and help
ing disposition, he would pay theiy fares
back to America. The trouble between
the North and South, raid Mr. Thomas,
was that each was Ignorant of the other.
The South treated the negro well If he
acted well. Mr. Thomas said he did not
believe In the» Northern people who
came South and raid: "Get o more on
you.” He contended that the New South
wmii.1 never equal the greatness lind
glory of the Old South and this sentiment
was applauded loudly. 1
Dr. M. Souvlgtle. an ex-suraeon of the
French army residing In Chattanooga, told
of the resources of Tennessee and op
portunities of investment there. When
he concluded the convention adjourned
until tomorrow morning

THE IRON MARKET.
Prices Arc Stiff, W.th I/ttle Intima
tion to Yield.
Cleveland, O., Aug. 30.—The Iron
Trade Review today say* that report*
from selling centers agree that the
volume of business In Iron and steel Is
well maintained, and there Is u donate
improvement in the tone of the market.
The volume of business is undoubtedly
greater than at nuy tiiue in u year, and
the fact that few huge contract* are
out and that the demand Is distributed
in all lines. Is proof of a general •move
ment to replenish stocks. This is be
ing done conservatively and the large
aggregate has had do effeet on prices.
The feeling among authorities In the
iron trade I* that no iVsbcr basis ut
value Is to be seen in tile Umnddlate
future, no matter what'the'exact 'rela
tion between foreign selling prices,
with the new tariff added, and at home
tlie Impression Is widespread that con
sumers will get lower prices now, and
there is no willingness to pay nu ad
vance.
No effect on the prices of Bessemer
pig Is apparent as yot, since there are
unlillcd Eastern contracts that must l>e
discharged before many of Hiese Ma
honing and Shenago furnaces can make
Iron for the market. Tlie' price In the
Pittsburg and Wheeling district* for
short delivery is still firm at J12. Buy
ers and sellers are upart in their ideas
ns to long contract* nnd tbe same sit
uation obtalils as to billets. Low lake
freight* have permitted Chicago to
come well to the East for thf lino usu
ally drawn hy the competition of
