That tlie continued silence of Pres
ident Cleveland concerning the N<w
York campaign is not pleasant to tile
twinge democrat it is useless to de
ny. True, it is not too late for him
to say a good word for the plucky
tight that Senator Hill is making,
but nothing that he can now say will,
in the opinion ot ex lerienced cam
paigners, do as much good to the
party in that, state as a few words
spoken earlier in the campaign
would have done. Under oritiuary
circumstances It would not be con
sidered neccesary for the President
to say tinit he w siies lo see the tick
et, nominated by his party in any
state elected, but in New York, eyen
asiue/rom the known personal rela
tions exiailug between the President
and Senator Hill, there are peculiar
circumstances which made such an
expression of opiuiou desirable, not
onl> for its effect upon the vote cast

democratic candidates iu the con
gressional districts.

that country, the Department of Ag
riculture has taken steps to investi
gate tlie claim. If it be true, as be
lieved, that Germany’s real reason is
to retaliate, because of tlie differen
tial duty on her sugar imposed by
the new tariff, somebody lias blun
dered, and the blunder may defeat
the intention, already expressed, to
repeal that duty at the coming ses
sion of Congress.
Representative Davey, of La., was
in Washington on business several
days ago, says the talk about elect
ing several republican Congressmen
from that State, which republicans
are indulging in, strikes him as
being very absurd. He think» the
only district iu which the revolting
sugar planters are numerous aud in
fluenttal enough to have even i
lighting chance of defeating the dem-
crutic candidate for Congress is the
Second, aud that the democrats will
carry that by a very small margin,
i lie other live Congressional districts,
he says, will be certain to go demo
cratic, as usual.
It is difficult to see where the re
publicans are to make the gains ue
cessary to deprive the democrats
of the present large majority in tlie
House, when the returns of the care
ful canvas made by the democrats
in every section of the country, now
being received by the democratic
Congressional campaign committee,
are studied. From Indiana, where
tlie republicans have been claiming
everything, comes the nows that the
democrats will certainly carry ten of
the eleven Congressional districts
carried by them iu 1892, and had a
good chance to carry the eleventh
from Wisconsin, where ridiculous
claims have also been made by re.
publicans, comes the declaration
that tlie democrats will be certain to
carry live of tlie six districts they
carried in "92, with a fighting chance
iu two other districts, and from
North Carolina, where the republi
caus and populists have formed a fu
sion which at one time did look dan
gerous, comes the assurance that tlie
legislature, winch will elect two U. S,
Senators, will certainly be democrat
ic, and that the Congressional dele
gatiou will be solidly democratic, a
gain of one members.
Senator Faulkner, who, iu addition
to the knowledge he has acquired as
chairman of the Congressional cam
paign committee knows the district
as well as the voters personally aDd
thoroughly, says he regards chair
man Wilson’s re-election to Congress
as well-nigh certain, and he would
regard it as absolutely certain were
It not for the fear that large sums of
money, which report says w«.s con
tributed by protected manufacturers
who are so anxious to defeat Mr.
Wilson will be spent in the outright
purchase of votes. There is no law
providing for a registration of voters
iu West Virginia, consequently there
is some opportunity for the wanlpu
lation of a large crooked floating vote
However,Senator Faulknor, says this
danger will be minimized by the vigi
lance of the democrats. Of course no
amount of vigilance can prevent a
legal voter selliug his vote, if he be
so disposed, but they can be detected
and both they aud their bribers pun"
islied, aud they will be, whereyer
possible.
“If I were asked,” said a democrat
of national reputation, "to criticise

Congressional campaign committee,

When the national convention of
lawyers met in the west some years
ago, Mr. duBignon was sent to
represent Georgia, his native stale.
Being one of the rising young men
o" his region, he was also invited to
respond to the toast. “Tlie Young
Manhood of the South, ’ at tile large
banquet to be given.
The young lawyer prepared his re
ply, with care feeling lie had
done his best, which was all tlie bar
cuulil expect of him. His toast Was
tlie tentli in lineand the toast master
had pronounced in distinct tones the
title of the toast ami added that Mr.
Fleming duBignou of Georgia would
reply.
The lawyer rose sicwly to ins feet,
glancing as lie did so down tlie long
double line of expectant, polite, up
turned faces smiling at him, encour
aging hi.n to proceed.
“Gentlemen of the bar,” be began
I—”
“Gen. Sherman,’delightedly broke
n the toast master, and “Sherman!”
Sherman!” was echoed all down the
table, which saw dozens of men stand
to their feet to greet the great sol-
dir-lawyer as he entered the room.
General Sherman had promised to
attend this convention, but had been
detained by otliei engagements until
this late hour, and his advent was
hailed with a burst of welcome as he
advanced down to his vacant chair.
Every one was shaking hands with
him creating quite a hubbub.
When it finally subsided the toa6t
master turned again to the young
Georgian and said:
Will Mr. duBignon row proceed
with tlie toast, “Tlie Y'oung Man
hood of the South?”
Tne Georgian sat lor an instant
dazed. He was young and the ex
citement breaking into his speeclr
had floored him.
What wns lie going to do? What
was he going to say? Every line of
his prepared toast had left him, ev
ery bit of his plan of thought had
deserted him. To stand there a con
firmed dullard, to bo unable to re
spond to the toast that involved all
his patriotism, when the, speech
was intended to show tlie northern
ers just what the southerners could
do and be! It was humiliating; it
was agonizing.
All this however did not occupy
the time it takes to tell it. It flashed
through his brain like lightening
and even during the latter part of
the8ethoughtshe was rising mechani
cally to his feet.
He stood still a second aDd saw
General Sherman s face looking at
him with interest. Tlie silence was
appalling! He felt that every one
was thinking, “Poor fellow, he
doesn’t know what to say.”
In a quiet tone, in which, however,
he felt a quiver, he commenced:
“Gentlemen, I am con ouuded! The
advent of so noted a warr'or a3 Geu.
Sherman has made me forget every
word of my speech,” the men all
looked anxious and interested—“but
I think yon can scarcely wonder at
my coufusion. Georgians are so used
to the fact of Gen. Sherman fol
lowing them, that it is enough to
simply paralyze one of them to be
asked to follow the general.” There
was a pause for au instant over tlie
audacity of the young fellow and
then tlie house rang with appreeia
tive applause of his excellent wit.
Men leaned over their plates and
immediately fixed themselves into
attitudes of interest; they at once
perceived that at least un original
voung chap was going to speak.
Mr. duBignon felt the personal
magnetism he had excited reflect on
himself and he continued with more
assurance.
He said that be would tell a story
about tlie voung manhood of the
south, the very young manhood in
cluding my first impressions of Geu
Sherman.
The time was the civil war, the
place Milledgeville, Ga. "I was only
a little shaver,” hestarted, “staying
at home taking care of my moth
er and a younger brother. All the
men had gone to war. The cry start
ed in tlie morning ‘Sherman is cotn-
iug!” Jt increased from a whisper to
a freigliteued shout. The old negroes
who were at home left the field and
plow aud gathered iu their cabins,
exactly as if it had been said the
judgment day is coining.? People
stood irresolute in the street not
knowing what to do or if It was best
to go auy where. Even the chickens
and cows seemed to understand that
portentous phrase that was filling
the air ‘Sherman is coming!’
And later on, he cauie. Soldiers
and horses, began to fill the little
town and the people’s houses, and
fenr wns tlie prevailing element,
“1 insisted that Shetland pony and
my brother’s pet rooster iuu«t be
saved. My mother equally insisted
that 1 whs to stay in tlie house, for
if not the soldiers would carry tue
away. 1 was made a prisoner, but
owie il a window, and when I saw a
soldier go under tlie house and catch
tlie rooster and wring its neck, 1 was
certain my ponv would go next. So
jumping out of tlie window I ran to
tlie soldier, and doubling up my fist
cried, “Dog-gone you: old Yankee, if
you take that pouy. I’ll'report you
to Gen. Sherman.” He stopped for
an instauce and then continued
courteously, "General, he did take
my pony, and this is my first oppor
tunity to report to you.”
Mr. duB'gnon of Georgia woa the
day. Men cheered him as he took
liis seat for his cleverness, and Geu.
Sherman, jumping up said, “Will
some one present me to tlie young
rebel?"

The second week of the D>xio In*

immense encouragement to the man

With dull times and cheap cottou

worked with a vim and the result
lias been the gathering < f the most
magnificent exhibits ever seen in the
South. Ainoug the many thousands
who have poured iuto tlie gates the
past week there have been a great

Two gentlemen from Pittsburgh, Pa.
were overheard in conversation. One
of them said that he had at tended
every Fair throughout the Northern
States for the past, ten years and was
forced to say that he had never seen
the like. “Why,” said he, “it, is a
perfect revelation to me, I would
never have dreamed it.”
Another gentlemen said that he
had attended many of the Western
Fairs aud Imd iieeu a regular attend
ant at the Ohio Fairs for a good
many years, and he hud ncyer in his
life seen such a display of agriculture.
As for Live Stock and Poultry, the
“oldest inhabitant” is outdone for
ouce. No more can lie rise up siul
croak that it is not like it used to be
—no such cattle and pigs, etc., etc.
For this beats anything ever seen,
not only in Georgia, but in the entire
South.
Hut it Is the universal verdict that
it is tlie biggest thing ever seen iu
Georgia. It is impossible to give it
justice in the limited space we have
and we can only say, go to Macon
and see for oourself.
The Fair closes next Thursday. If
you miss it you will miss the biggest
tbiug of the year.
