MEN OF THE PLOW.
Meeting of the Agriculturists at
Waycross.
Waycross, Ga., February ll.—[Special.]
The bread winners of Georgia met in Waycro s
today, whore they were received by the citizens
with open houses and hospitable hands. The
young city of Waycross has given the conven
tion a royal welcome.
The semi-annual address by President
Northen was then delivered, which is regarded
as one of tho ablest and most timely efforts
ever delivered to the farmers of Georgia. The
convention was captivated by it, and it should
be placed in the hands of every farmer in
Georgia. Captain W. H. Newman, of Can
ton, Ga., next addressed the convention upon
the subject of the “Georgia Cracker as a
Citizen and Farmer,’’ which was well received
by the convention. Captain Newman's address
U as follows:
MR. NEWMAN'S ADDRESS.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Georgia State
Agricultural Society: I come from the mountains of
north Georgia to greet you; 1 come from the head
waters of the Etowah, Ellijay, Cattcay, Talking
tlock, Tolona and the Amicololah.
I come as a north Georgia cracker to greet you tn
their name, to fraternize with you, and to give you
some of their habits and cirtoms as citizens and
fanners. While I am no farmer. lam a citizen.
Al out all the farming I do is like a iriend of mine
who lives up in that o untry. 1 rode up tb his house
one sultrv, hot day in Juno. I discovered his

friend was lying under the shade of a majestic oak.

looked at me. as cool as a cucumber, and repli* d:

other person in that ten-acre cornfield. '1 he quest on

not defile their sweet mouths v. nh to In, balsam, or
uweetgum, when they chew at all, it is tobacco; the
real, genuine stull. which they raise themselves. I
have seen sane of thof-c sweet mountain daisies,
spit nmbio at a chip from ten to lifteo.i feet, and Idt
it every pop. While they do not multiply words
much, one of them asked me for a chew cd tobacco
in about this way, "Mister, picasc give mo n chaw,
<»f your < hawing tobacco, If you chaw, do you
chaw?” Sho was a daisy an-t wore bangs, natural
ones too. 1 saw one of them working in a field one
day. 1 rode up and nddiwed her as follows: "A

Tho address created a regular sensation in
tho convention, and is universally regarded as
one of the »uo t humorous productions ever de
livered in Georgia. His first sentence caught
the attention of tho convention, and he was
greeted with tremendous applause from the
beginning to the end. An old delegate re
marked that tho atmosphere of north Georgia
seems genial to the production of wit and
humor, ami that Jiill Arp had better look well
to his laurels.

will, no doubt, pros oof interest to tho people.
After the dinner hour. Hon. John R. Lewis,
ol Hancock, delivered an address on Fanning
in Middle Georgia, which wa; replete with
facts, and tho convention paid marked atten
tion to him. Major George Grogan, of Elber
ton, made an address on the Revelation ol
Fount) S<*hools to Agricultural Development,
which elicited tin* applause of the convention.
Messrs. Moses, of Coweta, ami lh*\Volf, of
Menn e. made appropriate speeches on the
same subject. Mr. B. W. Hunt, of Putnam
county, gave the convention his twenty year’s

was very interesting.

Comments of the Press on
Elaine’s Letter.
Washington, Fibrinry 13.—[Special. ]~
Mr. Blaine’s letter announcing that be will
not lie a candidate befor ■ Hie national rc; übli
can convention, lias been the chief topir: of
conversation among both senators and rciire
senatives today.
Senator Voorhees thinks tho letter a very
urgentapp cal for the nomination, and an at
tempt to make his party unitedly and unani
mously ake him to make the race.
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, thinks it a sin
cerc|witlidrawal.
Senator Berry, of Arkansas, lias no faith
in its sincerity.
Senator Havis.of Minnesota, th inks it a frank
withdrawal.
Senator Blair says he thinks Blaine means
what ho says, but his declination is a mis
fortune to the republh an party.
“ Billy” Chandler thinks the letter a truthful
avowal of his purpose not to become a can
didate.
Senator Fryo said—‘‘l think the letter is
exactly what it purports to be—an instruction
to Mr. Blaine’s friends not to present his name
to the convention. It doos not debar the
Convention from selecting him if it chooses.”
Senator Falwell said: "In reading between
the lines, I infer that Mr. Blaine has an eager
desire for reiiomination. It seems tome that
if it were Mr. Blaine's sincere intention to de
cline or refuse the nomination lie would havo
signed his name at the end of tho first para
graph.”
Senator Chandler said: “Blaine’s decision
not to run is in accordance with his constant
declarations for a year and a half made to his
most intimate friends. It Is taken because lie
lias been resolved not to undergo the labors
and troubles and to incur tho responsibilities
involved in the candidacy. Beyond all ques
tion his derision is sincere and irrevocable.”
Mr. Eandail says that he thinks tho general
opinion of the republicans is that tho letter is
real. Says lie: “It is hard to tell anything
about Blaine, but my opinion is that the letter
was real. Ho means that lie will not make
the race, and 1 am inclined to think lie means
it.”
Mr. Holman, well known as the "watch
dog” of the treasury, saj-s: "Thtxlettcr shows
the confidence lie has in his hold upon tlio re
publican party, and lie will be nominated.”
Cot.t Mill's, <>., February 13.—Joint Slier
man, who is in the city, on hearing that -Mr.
Blaine would not allow his mime to be used be
fore the Chicago convention, said that he had
been expecting some such utterance from Mr.
Blaine for some time. He had understood
it would be forthcoming. Mr. Blaine was one
of the foremost Americans, whom every re
publican would have delighted to honor, and
it was a source of regret that he had concluded
not to make the race again. Mr. Sherman did
not care to talk much about Mr. Blaine’s let
ter, and thought it would cause a number of
other candidates to come to the front. Ho
proposed to make the nice for the Ohio dele
gation and would contest honorably for tho
nomination. Mr. Blaine was a republican
who could sweep the country if nominated,
but lie understood all along that he would not
again seek the nomination. It was on this
hypothesis that lio (Sherman) had entered tlie
lists.
IN PBRFECT JIBAI.TII.
Pittsburg, February 13.-—ls. F. Jones,
chairman ol the republican national commit
tee, was interviewed by a Chronicle-Tele
graph reporter this afternoon on Mr. Blaine's
letter of declination. Mr. Jones stated that
Mr. Blaine was in the best of health, and it
was not for this reason that he declined re
nomination.
“His trip,” said he, “lias been wonderfully
beneficial. I have had many letters
from him and in nearly all of them lie Ims
spoken of liis health and said he was entirely
recovered. No, sir, it is not ill-health nor fear
of tho result, or tlio worry and strain of an
other campaign which impelled Mr. Blanie to
write that letter.”
“Will you tell what Mr. Blaine's reasons
are?” ‘
“As given to me at the time to which Mr.
Bl.uno refers, the reasons were these:
"Before the nomination by the republicans
in IS7<> .Mr. Blaine was very anxious to obtain
tlio presidency, and worked for it with the aid
of his friends. Ho was disappointed when it
went to another man in the manner it did.
In 1880 lie was still anxious, although in a
lesser degree, ami his disappointment was less
marked. In 1884 he had to a great extent lost
the desire for tho office, nnd now ho withdraws
from the contest because ho has no wish to be
come president. He'takes a keen interest in
literary work and wants rest and quiet. I as
sure you these aro tlio only reasons for Mr.
Blaine's letter that ore known to me. Every
body sooner or later loses tho desire for some
thing wliieh they weroonco anxious to obtain,
ami tliis is entirely true in the case of Mr.
Blaine.”
"Is not Mr. Blaine’s k*te”somewhat incon
sistent witli tlio actions of friends, presumably
with his consent, in working for tho control of
state delegations and committees?”
"No sir, it is not inconsistent. No such work
lias been done by us. Os course I have re
ceived countless letters on this subject from
people north, south, east and west. Mr.
Blame's friends havo not sought to set up or
secure a single delegate anywhere. Xi e have
made no conceited action. There has been no
nu eting to map out a course favorable to Mr.
Blaine, and I assure you that whatever has j
been done by tho admirers of Mr. Blaine has
been done on their own account, ami not at I
tlio instance of his close friends. We havo
done nothing to secure the nomination for Mr.
Blame. When people write to me on tho sub
ject I send them in reply tho call of the con
vention us issued by the committee, and some
extracts from papers of the convention of 1884.
I have written no letters in Mr. Blaine's in
terests”
"Was this letter laid bofors any sort of
meeting of iiis srieuds, or of the national com
mittee
"It was not. Tho letter was received by mo
on Tuesday last, it having come directly from
Florence to me. It was entirely in Mr I
Blaine's handwriting. As you see, by its |
opening sentence, it was intended for tho re- '
publican party. I did not tell anybody of its I
existence until Friday. Even a man as close
to Mr. Bi.lino as Stephen B. Elkins know
nothing of the existence of this letter until this
morning.”
Joseph D. Weeks, financial secretary of the
i republican national committee, in commenting
I on Mr. Blaine’s letter, said:
“I think Blaine is perfectly sincere in what l
| ho says, but 1 do not think his withdrawal will I
1 prevent his nomination or his acceptance of I
I tho nomination if thrust upon hint. Ho owes
too much to the republican party for that. Tlio 5
j issue m xt year will bo tarilt vs. free-trado.and I
as Blaine is the strongest exponent of the pro- I
i tcction system now before tho people, it would
! not surprise me to see him nominated in spite
! of all.’*

KEI’VISLICAN’S REJOICE.
St. Louis, February 13. —[Special.]—The
I Glolie-Deuiocrat Ims interviews with sonte
tliilig over five hundred leading republicans,
in all the northern, eastern, western and north
western and southwestern states, and the gen
ral expression of opinion may be summed up
as follows. There is first of all. a general feel
ing of gladness among republicans who favor
party success rather than any one man’s per
sonal triumph, that the old man of the sea has
been lifted from tho necks of the republican
Sinbad. The belief is very' general that Mr.
Blaine is sincere, and that t he people will take
him at his word and let some other man forgo
his way to the front. All who take this view
; believe. Mr. Blaine’s declination to mean suc
cess for tho party in 1888.
As to probable candidates most favored, tho
names suggested are Sherman, Lincoln, Sheri
dan, Gresham, Allison, Harrison and Hawley.
It is remarkable how many of tho parties
interviewed favored Sheridan. There is
much talk in this connection about Mr.
Blaine’s self-sacrilice ami so forth.
A second lot of interviewed parties believe
Mr. Blaine's letter to mean that ho will not
except tho nomination unless it is tendered to
him by the unanimous vote of tho convention
and the approval of the other candidates.
This feeling is particularly strong in Kansas.
A third set of opinions are well expressed
for their holders by General Alger, of Detroit,
himsel a possible candidate, lie says:
"1 am not greatly surprised at the Blaine let
ter and believe that it removes Mr. Blaine
froniall possibility of a nomination. XVliile
it has lor some time past been clear that as the
situation stood Mr. Blaine had a walk-over for
the nomination, yet there has been an element
iu tlio party that did not want him nominated
and this representation is strong enough to
take him at his word and hold him there, if
there was any desire on his part to take back
what he has written. No, sir, that letter has
been written for just what appears on its face.
Perhaps it is the wisest thing that Mr. Blaine
could do. Who can say? lowa men think
Blaine's withdrawal clears the track for Alli
son.
"New Jersey Ten aro sorry for the letter.
They believe protection to be the issue iu the
next campaign and think no one could present
that issue like Blaine.
In I’ennsylvania and XVest Virginia the feel
ing is all but unanimous that Blaine will be
forced to run, despite his letter. All the big
Pittsburg iron men seem to think a protective
tariff issue calls for Mr. Blaine as the candi
date.
Congressie.v'. Butterworth, of Ohio, said:
“I think Mr. Blaine means to be sincere but
lie is in the hands of his friends, and if they
can secure his nomination lie will be a candi
date. He reminds mo of Julius iCiesar when
refusing tlie crown offered him by Marc An
tony. Each time he puts it by less firmly
than before. I think, however, that his letter
will have the effect of biinging Senator Sher
man more prominently before tho people, and
perhaps securing his nomination. He is the
unanimous choice of Ohio and would certainly
be elected if nominated. But then Mr. Blaine
has a great personal following and is by no
means politically dead.
Air. -I. O. Winsliip, formerly a prominent
politician in Maine, now practicing law in Co
lumbus, Ohio, says:
‘•The letter is bona fide and written in good
fniMi, and from what I heard in -Maine while
recently there on a visit, lam not a bit sur
prised. I know positively from what I learn
ed in Maine, that Blaine would not accept the
nomination if offered him unanimously. While
Blaine is ambitious, since Garfield's death
he has been a changed man. That I know
positively.”
Itobcrt Lincoln, of Chicago, says:
“What I could say about Mr. Blaine’s letter,
would interest no one but myself. lam clean
plunip out of politics. I don't know anything
about it, and am not interested in it. My pri
vate business is more to mo than Mr. Blaine’s
letter.”
Ex-Congressman George A. Halsey, of
Newark, N. J., one of Blaine’s closest friends,
said tonigiit:
“Well, I don’t know what to say about the
letter, but I do know that he was averse, four
years ago, to be the candidate of our party. I
suppose we must give up hope, if ho will not
be our standard-bearer, but 1 am in favor of
r>nominating him, for lie is, I believe, the
best and strongest man, wo have. I don’t be
lieve he will decline the nomination if it is
tendered to him by the unanimous vote of the
convention.

BRUCE IS RIGHT.
Indianapolis, February 13.—Ex-Senator
Blanche K. Bruce, formerly of Mississippi,
but who is now a resident of this city, was
today asked by a Journal reporter his opinion i
of tho proposed negro exodus to South Amer
ica and Liberia. The ex-senator replied:
“There isn’t anything in the so-called exo
dus to South America or to any other foreign
land. The scheme originated with two classes
—one composed of a few honest, simple
minded men without experience, and
without the remotest conception of
the magnitude of tho venture; tho
other composed of sharpers who think they
see in the proposed movement an opportunity
to advance their personal fortune. Some of
the latter class, I am informed, have recently
appeared in northern communities as agents,
soliciting money to hurry forward the work.
To encourage such men is to put a premium on
fraud, and in tlio estimation of tho public do
incalculable injury to the colored people of
this country.”
The ex-senator added that about a year ago
a promint official in Venezuela informed him
that while that government would welcome
immigration, it desired only such as would bo
self-sustaining for a year as a guarantee against
the possibility of becoming a public charge.
In conclusion, Mr. Bruce said:
“We may as well abandon, once for all, tho
impracticable scheme of colonization, and de
velop our energies to the work of disciplining
and informing tho negroes intellectually and
morally that they may be ready for the battle
of life at home.”
The “Exposition Universelie de Fart Culi
naire” awarded the highest honors to ANGOS
TUR A BITTERS as the most efficacious
stimulant to excite tho appetite and to kedp
the digestive organs in good order. Ask for
the genuine article, manufactured by Dr. J. G.
B. Siegert & Sons, and beware of imitations.
They Traded.
From the New Y’ork Sun.
The husband of a woman in Sheffield, Eng
land, having got out of work a few mouths ago,
went to Australia, and on his way out made the ac
quaintance of a woman who formed a great attach- I
ment for him. Finding that ho was already mar
ried, she suggested that possibly his wife left at I
home would sell him to her. and he jokingly ad- !
vised her to “write and ask.” She did write, and
the wife not only wrote that she was willing, but
named her price, 85C0. The figure was too high,
and, after a little bargaining, SICO was accepted.
Tho money was sent, and with it a document,
drawn up in legal form, setting forth that for the
sum named the wife relinquished, all future claim
to her husband. This was signed by the wife, and
sent back to Australia. The latest report is that tlie
man and the woman have since been married.
Tho Finest Crown.
From the New York World.
The imperial crown of all the Russias is the
finest over worn by a sovereign. It is in the form of
a bishop's mitre and carries on its crest a cross com ,
posed of five of the most brilliant diamonds ever
cut supporting the largest ruby in the world.
Eleven great diamonds in a foliated arch|rising
from the front and back of the crown support this
cross and ruby, and on either side is a hoop of
thirty-eight pearls, than which there are no hand
somer known.
