GEORGIA FOR sETMOUR AND BLAIR

We copied few days ago an article
from the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
claiming that Georgia win go for Sey-
mour and Blair by majority Of fifty
thousand The Atlanta Neg Era (Radi-

That paper says
at becomes our painful duty tc state
that the Republican party in Georgia is
entirely without organization or concert Of
action, and il something is not accom-
plished in the line of organization within
the next few days the State will 60 for
Seymour, Blair and disunion almost with
out an effort If our Republican friends
will talk less and go TO work in good solid

''The political situation in this State is
very interesting, and the Indications are
that if Georgia is permitted TO take part in
the Presidential election, she wall be carried

ocratic candidates. The most marked fea-
lures in the campaign 80 far are the i'm

the result will be different, bat the more
