SOUTHERN POLITICS

Now that Malone has ceasedto talk and
is no longer talked about the favorite
Southern topics of conversation among
politicians at Washington are the action
of General Chalmers, of Mississippi, in de
claring himself an independent anti Demo
erat candidate for Congress from the Sec
ond Mississippi District. and Mr.. Alexan-
der Fl. Stephens candidacy for Governor
of Georgia. General Chalmers did not
create sensation. as he evidently thought
he would. The Republicans have too re-
Gently denounced him to be very loud in
their praise of his sudden conversion to
the true faith, and the Democrats do not
consider his action or himself of enough
importance to talk about. He is a very
impetuous man. and his friends look upon
his action as simply rash method of seek
ing personal revenge. That he has taken
a wrong method of winning popular favor
at home in proclaiming himself an enemy
of the Lamar Democracy" is proved by
the unanimity with which Senator Lamar
was reelected last winter. when General
Chalmers himself had hope ofsucceeding
him.
Mr. Stephens, it was first generally con-
ceded by southern politicians, would be
the next governor of Georgia, nnless his
recent accident became much more Serious
than there is reason to fear. 1t has not
been his habit for years to canvass his dis
trict, and in the approaching campaign he
win not make many speeches. 1t is prob
able, however, that Congressman Emory
Speer will stamp the state for him in or
der to claim some share of the victory. 1t
has not escaped notice that Mr.. Speer has
written, dispatches to the Georgia inde
pendents, in which he has assumed to
speak of Mr.. Stephens wishes and opin-
ions with something like authority. The
dash and the social qualities of the young
Georgian have made him favorite with
Mr.. Stephens, whom in turn Mr.. Speer
regards with veneration.
