We are still selling 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. Cheaper th^n any other house ' in town, and expect to continue -td dt> so, as we are here to stay. 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.” WANTS TO COIUE TO GEORGIA.

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. ■ W.

Polk oounty has eleoted, delegates to 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 candidate that does not indorse the Ocala platform.” ' 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.
