WASHINGTON LETTER.
What Washington Politicians Say About
Candidates tor the Democratic
Presidential Nomination In
1904.
Hihh'IiiI ComiMmiU'iice CotirkT.
Washington, I). C, August 15.
The recent return from Europe of
the Hon Arthur r Gorman, of
Maryland, the ruoent speech before
the "Georgia Hur Association by
Judge Alton It Parker, of New York,
the recent birth of a boy in the
home of the Hon Grover Cleveland,
the recent bonui for Senator Francis
Marion Cockrell, of Missouri, the
recent marriage of the Hon William
Kandomh Hearst, aim the recent
speeches of the Hon William J
mugs Iti-yan and the Hon loin L,
Johnson, of Ohio, hare revived the
talk in the national capital or 1 tenia
cratie possibilities and probabilities.
1 have, therefore, mndo it my busi
ness to sec nearly every I lemocratie
member of Congress and every Demo
cratic politician who has visited the
national capital for the past few
weeks and to iret as nearly as possible
the concensus of opinion concerning
these men as the presidential candi
date of the Deniucrutic party in the
next campaign for the purposes of
this correspondence.
It I tvere to tell all tliu things that
1 have heard it would make exceed
ingly interesting reading for the
good people of the country. The
national capital correspondent docs
not toll everything he knows and
hears, however, for the reason that
he liol only would be put down as a
liar by the readers, '.nit he could not
go back Ui the same sources of infor
mation and got another story when
needed it. 1 will then give, as
succinctly as possible, the result of
these interviews Willi public men
concerning the possibilities of the
iboVe named gentlemen, being the
I 'emocratic standard hearer in the
campaign of I'JUt.
ho far as Mr Cleveland and Mr
Kryan are concerned, we may us well
1 1 id t mii to t hum to begin with, i'.ach
of thoe geiith'iuen has many admir
ers among the public men who visit
the national capital. Many men
who have always been ardent uuinir-
rs of Mr Cleveland since his first
lection as President, and who left
the party with him in 1 Slid, and sup
ported the Ki'piiblicanson the money
niestion, have told me that he is out
of the running as a candidate next
year on account of the prejudice
igainst the third term for any man.
Many men who loyally supported
air isryati in ltsim and luno asjee
that he cannot possibly be called a
candidate again. They still admire
li in for his manhood, iiis brilliance
of intellect, his oratory, his steadfast
ness lo principle ami devotion to the
cause of the people, but they admit
that he cannot uaiii lie a candidate.
J hey real i .i- that the issues will
not be the same next year and that
;e people have put the seal of their
imlriunation on some of the issues
on which he twice led the party to
defeat. They appear to' realize that
the chief issue i.i xt year will be one
with which Mr Kryun has not been
suflicientlyjidi'iititied the trust issue
to make liim an available candi
date even if he had not been brought
under the ban of the displeasure of
thousands of men who will next
year support the Democratic ticket
on that very issue. Therefore, they
discard him as a possibility in the
next mce.
Senator Arthur I' (iorman has
many friends uitiong the men who
come to Washington on ofuciul busi
ness and many of them have named
him as the most available man for
the Democrats to nominate next
year. They say that when he re
turiu'd to the Senate Just March after
an absence of four veurs he wits
quickly and gladly given his oil
place as floor leader of the Demo
cratic foices in the Senate, w hich
proves conclusively that his powers
as a leader have not been dimmed liy
his absence from the Senate, that it
is so recognized by his colleagues,
which tact gives him prestige all
over the country
They mention his service to the
country in the memorable force bill
lieht in 18!i!, his adroitness
leader, his long record as a Democrat,
his knowledge of thjp public men of
the country und his signal ability as
au irguni,er, having, us chairman of
the Democratic national committee
in 1881 brought victory to the party.
They claim that he will be very
strong in the eastern states, where
the party needs votes in order to win,
aid all seem imbued witii an intense
desire lo wi l next year. Thev claim
that Senator Gorman was regular in
the campaigns of lSDGand l'JOO, aud
supported the ticket loyally, yet he
would make a very acceptable candi
date to the conservative business
interests of the East.
The lioom for Judge Alton 1)
Parker, of New York, seems to have
been frost-bitten by King planted
too early. The Judge, himself, hus
lately taken a Btand that practically
eliminates him from the race as a
candidate. Still, he has some warm
admirers and friends among the
Democrats who visit the national
capital aud who claim for him that
be is the most available man to lead
the Democratic forces next year,
They have not much to say of him
concerning Ins record, as that is con
tuicd almost solely to tlu! judicial
bench, but they say he is a most
amiable aud learned man. Those
who ptefer some other candidate, in
discussing Judge Parker, say that he
is tied np with David ii IX ill, and
would be controlled b him and they
distrust Hill. Judge Parker's name
may go before the convention, but it
is not likely that tho Slate ol is
Yoik will present him as the c-undi
date of that state. Everything now
indicates a trend away from Judge
I'arker.
The recent boom started for Sena
tor Francis Marion Cockrell, of Mis
soun, is not taken seriously h
Leaders of the party who have dis
cussed it with me look upon it as a
move of the Dockery crowd in Mis
souri to get Senator Cockrell out of
the ruco for tho senato'tip ne.xt
time and allow Dockery to have a
clear field. Thev believe, however,
that the wily und venerable senator
from Missouri will not he caught by
any such diaphanous trick as that,
They think that Senator Cockrell
has no desire to enter the lists
candidate for the presidency, but
that he prefers to round out his life
as a member of the Senate, where he
has served the party and the people
so long and so faithfully. If it were
not for his age there is no doubt
that Senator Cockrell would make a
most ttv.-tihrble man for the 1 eim
citttic nomination, and a man who
would rally all factions of the party,
at least that is the expressed opinion
of many to whom 1 have talked
on this subject. His state may give
nun u complimentary vote in the
convention, but it is believed that is
us far us his candidacy will go.
Since it is practically certain that
the lion Tom L Johnson, of Cleve
land, Ohio, will be the Democratic
nominee for governor of Ohio this
fall, there are a number of men who
have lately been here who are serious
ly discussing him us a presidential
possibility in case he should he
lected or materially cut down the
Republican majority or defeat Mark
Hanuu for re-election to the Senate.
In either case he would certainly be
come a factor to be reckoned with in
the next convention.
There have lately turned up here
many friends of the lion William
Randolph Hearst. They seem to be
the most enthusiastic bunch among
all the politicians who have diseusied
this thing of the next I lemocratie
annulate Willi me. ihev all seem
to be saturated with the idea that
Mr Hearst is the oulv man who can
win und they are willing to give a
reason for the faith that is in them.
In the liist place they say that Mr
Hearst is the only proprietor of a
great daily newspaper in the North
who loyally supported the ticket in
DS'JU aud r.HKl, and who lought a
hard for the ticket as any man on
the ticket. They claim' that any
man nominated in l'.lUt who did not
loyally support the ticket, or who.
even, was lukewarm, will he defeated
next year for tie reason that the
loyal Democrats in the states of New
York, Connecticut and New jersey
will vote the socialist labor ticket
which will give those states, absolute
ly essential to Democratic success, to
the Republicans. They claim that
Mr lleaist, who has endeared him
self to the laboring people of the
country by lighting their battles at
ill times, can carry every center ol
industrial activity in the country,
thus assuring Democratic success in
the btales of Connecticut, New York
und New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland,
Illinois and l alitornia, which means
llcuiocritio victory in the nation,
ind thev sav that victory is what
they are after. They say that a man
who has the business interest at
stake as those possessed by Mr Hearst,
whose payroll amoiiuis to over
4,0iM,U0i u year, and who has never
li-id a controversy with a single man
ever on that payroll, can not help
being u satisfactory candidate to the
thousands of conservative business
men of tho country who did not sup
port the ticket in the campaigns ol
LlH'.m and l'.ioo.
They advance the claim that he is
the very apotheosis of anti-trust, the
only man in the country who has
ever gone after the .'trusts with his
oun money and made them tremble,
and that the trust question will be
uppermost in the next campaign,
hence, their man is a Democratic
platform in himself. That he is the
very embodiment of Jelleisonian
and Jucksoiiiau democracy. That
he is a man who can hold all the
vote that Itryan got and add to it
the vote of labor regardless of past
political affiliation, also the vote of
thousands ol men wno ar? in busi
ness und whose business is jcopardiz-
id by the cormorant trusts ot the
country. 1 hat he is absolutely mde-
pcnJcut of the trusts and the money
interests of the country, and that he
possesses tho money personally to
give the ltarty toe greatest campaign
ever waged in the nation and can
duplicate every dollar of tat fried
out of the trusts by the Republican
campaign managers. That he is
young, uu able executive, a philan
thropist, a humanitarian, au honest
lover of justice to the people. In
short, they claim he can win if nomi
nated.
That is about a fair consensus of
opinion of Demoeiatic politicians
who have lately visited the national
auilaland talked to me concerning
the next presidential campaign from
the standpoint ot a Democratic can
didate for president.

BUILDING UP W0RN.0UT CLAY LANDS.
Paper Read Before A. & M. Cullee
Farni.'rs' Convention, Raleigh, July
21, lm. By R. W.Scott, Esq.,
of Alamance County N. C.
It may lie argued that these
gentlemen, Messrs Curr and Duke,
on account of their wealth, are nine
to improve their farms, when an
ordinary fanner could not. It is my
purpose to show how the same re
sults can be had, except that it may
take u longer time. Any young
man of energy can take a worn out
farm, and if he lives his illolted
time, he can see it. in a
high state
of cultivation
either of these
farms.
I believe 1 can best illustrate m.v
noint by telliiiL' you whatM i.a.v
done and expect, to do at Melville
lai in.
Thx, plan 1 um pursuing, if ea 're il
on, will result in changing what '.as
o.'.ce a very poor farm to one in as
high state ol cllltivaui'ii as ;in i
have mentioned. It just takes
h,H"cr. It is as necessary tor a boy
who expects tube a farmer to have
au agricultural training as it is I n
air other profession to have profi-s-si.i'nal
training, and for a fanner to
successfully improve his soil, his
ions und stock, he iiiusi nave
thorough knowledge and training,
such us is given by this College, and
other institutions of its kind in the
United States. I know that 1 have
wasted time and money on the ac-
ccuiit of the lack of such training.
Twenty-five years ago I left school
to take charge of the farm where I
was raised. I only had enough
money to pav for a hull" interest in
th.s farm. It contained tioo acres
oii'-hulf in timber, and the other in
undown condition, having been
worked bv negro teuanls. It wiy
ui.ll v washed; galled places were m
evu-y Held, and were getting larger.
1'leHls were lull ol stones ami irregu-
a;' in shape. A few more years ol
su-h cultivation and il would have
bc'ii worthless, because you could
get nothing from it.
There was upon this larm at that
til. ic about oil acres of land that
weie producing an average ol lo
bushels of wheal or -JO of coi n per
e. As near as I can recollect, the
r I took chaige of the faun the
p was one hundred Lu.;hcls. ot
wheal, seventy-live ol oats, two
hundred and liity of corn and a
it;!ehav. The worl. .,;.',; con si u.l

of cattle, and some iiogs, I li. year
HUl this same fiirm prod. iced mio
of wheat, 1,400 of oats, Irom one
thousand to fifteen hundred bosiieis
of coin, besides ileal ly 'i" tons of
L.ver hay and some pc.ivino hay.
The farm is now carrying about
hi Lead of cattle, to sheep, ;in hogs,
8 work horses, and a few oolls every
yer.r to supply work stock for 'le
f;i i :n.
! wish now to tell how Ibis M
been done, and I believe the way 1
have done it is the best way lo im
prove these laud.. I took tifty acres
of land as a nucleus lo build on. 1
wo..ld find a few acres of good land
in . -early every Held. I began by
sowing peas, and- clover, hi-ejung
sto.k to consume the food raised.
and with the moderate us.' of fertili
zers, I have gr idually increased tie
productiveness of the farm. I hae
made it a rule to apply u.i maimi-
lir-ct from the stable to the galled
pctj in the lield, rather than (a.-
nu, the custom of many i to apply n
to corn in the hill. Py this applica
tion of manure 1 would at once stop
tliii.-e places from washing, and get
then: in condition to givw clover

pla.i for this number of years, you
