Atlanta, Ga., April 0.—A decidedly
interesting story of a political flavor
has come, to light here through the dis
charge of Mrs, Hampton, stenographer
at the Alliance Exchangennd privnte
secretary to Col. W. L. Peek, president
and business manager of the Ex
change. Mrs, Hampton was paid a
month’s salary in advance and notified
that her services would be no longer
needed on the ilrst of the present
month. The lady, who is a widow and
of a flue family, was placed in her po
sition through the induenco of Con
gressman Livingston, in whoso em
ploy she had been as private Beoretary
previous to the assembling of Con
gress. Col. Peek’s prominenoe in the
Third party movement has made him
the object of olose scrutiny at every
move, and when Mrs. Hampton was
summarily discharged, the rumor
gained circulation that Col. Peek did
hof want-her at his office beoause she
bad expressed herself as opposed to
the anti-Demooratic work in which lie
is engaged.
USING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
Hn. Hampton was very much
wrought up over the loss of her posi
tion, and in order to express her feel
ings published a oard, in which she
revealed some of the seoretB of Col.
Peek and hisassooiates regarding the
Third Tarty organization work. She
also repeated In her oard a private
conversation, which, she says, took
place between Col. Peek and other
Third Party satellites. She came into
possession of these seorets and heard
the conversation referred to through
her position as Col. Peek’s private
Secretary, she being necessarily in
hlB confldenoe. The publication of
Mrs. Hampton’s card brings out the
most Interesting part of the story.
The inside reason for her discharge by
Col. Peek as it comes from Alliance
headquarters and as stated by Mrs.
Hampton is that she was Col. Livlng-
ston’s confidential secretary. Mrs.
Hampton’s only daughter lives in New
York, and Col. Livingston lias promis
ed to take her to Washington and
get her into a nlee place as joint sec
retary to himself and other Georgia
Alliance. Congressmen so that she
could be in reach of her daughter.
UNDER THE COLONEL’S THUMB.
Through holding out this promise
Col. Livingston had an influence over
the lady which served an ineentlve to
.make her do almost anything to serve
his purpose. When Col. Livingston
departed for-Congress, however, mat
ters between him and the Alliance
were mixed, atid naturally be wanted
to be kept informed as td what toqk
place in his absence. So he turned
to his Secretary, upon whom he knew
he could rely, and through his connec
tion with the Alliance succeeded in
installing Mrs. Hampton as Col. Peek's
stenographer. It is claimed that t)ie
lady lias been only too faithful to Col.
-Livingston’s interests. It is even said
that some time ago complaint came
from Third-partyites in Washington
that some one at the Alliance head
quarters was furnishing Col. Living-
ston-with acomplete record of all the
Third Party moves and, besides, data
that would be damaging to Col. Peek
and others In case Col. Livingston
cared to use it. Finally, It is said by ex
change officials, that Mrs.. Hampton
was located as Colj Livingston’s spy,
and that was the reason she was sum
marily discharged. The lady de
nies the story, and those who .gave it
out say that they- believe she acted
under the impression that there was
nothing wrong in'supplying informa
tion to Col. Livingston, as he was
President of the Alliance, and, there
fore, entitled to know everything
that was going on.

LIVINGSTON'S FLOUNDKUINGS.
The Allinace line Seared en Ilim, the
Third Fnrlr Doesn’t Wnnt Him nnd
lie Mu.l Be n Democrat.
Col. Leonides Livingston is coming
in for a good share of criticism just
now at the hands of the “true blue”
Demoorntio press of the State. Here
is an editorial from the Savannah
News, which seems to have him down
about as lie deserves:
, “The position oooupied by Colonel
Livingston is not an enviable one,
if the dispatches sent out from At
lanta, the headquarters of his Con
gressional district, arc reliable. It is
said that lie 1ms been repudiated by
tile Alliance, the People’s party doesn’t
want him, and doesn’t seem to be in
high favor with the Democratic party.
At least one paper in Atlanta is call
ing for the nomination of some one to
succeed him in Congress.
Colonel Livingston made the mis
take of trying to keep in with the
People’s party and the Democoatlo
party at the same time. He apjKars
to be fairly in harmony with the Dem-
oorotio party now, but somehow or
other the Democrats of,his district are
in doubt whether or not he is a sound
Demoorat' Only a day or' two ago
thete was a report in Atlanta that he
had made up bis mind to join the
People’s party. It turned f out that
the report was unfounded.
The people like a man who is
straightforward in his political aotion,
even though they may not have muoh
respect for his political views. And
they are not slow In finding out those
whoare trimming their sails to eatoh
tlie popular breeze. They seem to
think they have found out Colonel
Livingston, and it would not be sur
prising if they Bhould reach the same'
eonolusion with respeot to some news
papers.
However, the newspapers of the
State that have battled steadily and
honestly for Demoeratio prinolples
and the Demoeratio party have no rea
sons to sympathize with Col. Living
ston. When tlie newspapers were un
justly boycotted he had no word to say
in their behalf. If we are not mista
ken he approved the boycott.”

The following letter received by the
Hebald yesterday explains Itself, and
is published so that-any one in Al
bany or Dougherty bounty who may
feel disposed to"6ofrespond' with the
writer of it, with the view of bringing
him to Albany, may Write to him. We

some of the information wanted:
Monticello, Ig., April 8,1802.
To the Editor ot the HkraLd:
Dear Sir—I want to borne to Geor
gia to go into the dairy-business. That
has been my business here for a num
ber of years, but prices have become so
low that we must quit It here. I have
written to several parties and received
encouraging answers, but think I
would like the southern part of the
State. Would you. kindly answer a
few questions for me? Have you any
one running a regular milk route?
What is the price of sweet milk? How
large is your town? Is there a goodde.
mand for milk? What is land worth
within one or two miles of your town?
Can you grow grasses and corn there?
What are cows worth; also horses and
mules? Please send sample copy of
Hebald, and I will subscribe for it. I
take the Constitution and H»con Tel
egraph, but want one from your sec
tion. ' Yours Respectfully,
J. B. Clarke.
Prof. Case’s most urgent request to
members of his chorus was, “Now,
don’t give up your practicing. Meet
oiiee each week and continue your
work.”
He spoke of it again and again.
Next to a new hotel, an opera house
and a depot, Albany needs most ngood
musical society to add to its attractions
and oultlvato raw material. Not that
tlie singers of Albany are in espeoial
need of instruction in musio or in
voice culture, but there is such splen
did material here for a fine chorus
which but needs a few months’ prac
tice to make u chorus of singers oapa-
ble of mastering tlie most difficult
musiq and producing orchestral effects
that would compare favorably with
any amateur chorus.
Albany lias no appreciation of the
amoqnt of rare musical ability that she
possesies.
There are more good voices to the
square inoli in Albany than in any
otheittown in the State of Georgia,
and it Is a bitter reproaoli to her peo
ple tHgt more good' Is not done with
the Abilities that have been jgiven
them. 1,
ought, to be better musio than
n every church in the olty
meaning to say but that eaoh
lies good musio, tine musio,
Jet but it should bo better
oonsUjariug tl)e musical ability to be
found Jn eaoh oboir,
Are lie musicians of Albany to let
the matter drop, to let, the’ interest in
ie out only to have a spas-
vival for four weeks when
laUtauqua time rolls-around?
Immense capabilities that lie
before a wen-organized musical asso
ciation that has, the study of musio and
not trivial pleasure for its object I
If a chorus say of fifty voices
could bq formed, offioers ohosen, rples
made (and lived up to) and fines as
sessed, if would be an easy matter, no
doubt, ttj secure the services of a good
conductor from Atlanta or Maoon for
once per week. Is it an impossible
thing to do? It would be but a short
time then before Albany would have
a oborus.-prepared to furnish musio
for any ordinary occasion—and excel
lent music at that.
Our soloists are equal to any emer
gency, but what an addition a good
chorus would be. Do not let the mat
ter drop, but let every muMclan con
sider himself a committee of one to
agitate the subject and see what can
be done.

the State Demoeratio .Convention,
which meets In Atlanta op,the 18th, of
May, and they are instructed and
pledged.t'6 “support and work for no

' Now, will delegates thus Instructed
and pledged be eligible to seats in the
State Demoeratio Convention?
The Ocala platform is not the plat
form of the Democratic party, and
delegates who are pledged to it “first,
last and all the time” would, it appears
to us, be out of piace'in a straight and
duly constituted Democratic conven
tion.
