THE TEMPER Of THE PEOPLE.
a Constitution reporter in moving
about among the delegates found the
most concurrent testimony that Eel
ton had lost and Clements had gain
cd strength 10 the district.
The delegation from Walker coun
ty seemed especially proud of their
man. Captain McWilliams said
Walker has always been for the
nominee, but we mean to give Glen
ents rousing majority-ahead of
anything known before. hear
enough to assure me that he has
made many new friends in our sec
ton. We are satisfied with his re
cord, and mean to indorse him at The
polls"
Judge Darden, of Polk, said: ~
am sure Clements has gained in my
county. He will run better there
than be did before"
B. +. AIgood, one of the most in
auential young men in Chattooga,
said "We are confident of Glenn
ent's election by an increased major
ity. Our county may be put down
for him stronger than ever"
Capt. Peoples said Murray will
increase Clements majority.
DIR. w. G. Connally of Cobb said
"Cobb had gone to the independents
until Clements recaptured it. ! as
sure you he has lost nothing there,
but is gaining steadily"
Mr.. Kinney expressed confidence
in Cherokee reducing Felton's ma
jority, that it will be nip and tuck
in Cherokee between tie two can
didates.
One of the marked men in the
convention was latham Gregory, of
Murray. He and his family have
been the most influential FELTON, men
of the. county in former campaigns
He is now enthusiastic for Clements
and confident of bis election by an
increase of his majority of $50. The
same can be said of Mr.. A. Y. Moss,
q delegate from Cobb, who is an in
fluential man 10 his section and will
do good work for Clements.
Floyd has always been a holly
contested county, Mr.. Darden says
be knows Of great many changes
to Clements and thinks the county
will give him much better maj ori>
ty than he did before. of his re-
cord be said (: at was Clements
first term in congress, and he gets
us more money for our rivers than
we ever had before. His course
has been eminently satisfactory to
us and we want to try him again"
Mr.. Lumpkin, of Rome, says pros
poets in the city are lovely.
Barlow is DR.. Felton's home and
his citadel Of strength. But Glenn
ents cut down his majority heavily
there, and recently some of his
strongest supporters have left him.
General Wofford, probably the most
Influential FELTON, man in the district,
is now in full sympathy with the or
ganized party. Mr.. Watt Harris
and Mr.. Branson say Clements he's
gained greatly in the county since
the last election. Barlow will pre-
sent a lively campaign.
w. C. Glenn, of Whitfield, an ex>
cellent Judge of politics, says both in
Whitfield and 10 the northern part of
the district generally there is clear
gain for Clements. Thus talked all
the delegates. They gave names
aud localities of many men personal
ly known to them who have chang
ed from the advocacy Of the parson
to the preference for the young
mountsineer
