GEORGIA elects a governor and Legis-

join a clan and get near to the head of it.

the party, like Cleveland or Paitison, might
enorm ously develop in the next twelve
months. He thought Fosters o'er-radical
speeches had set him aside for the Senate,
and that Ex-Gov. Noyes, who put President
Hayes in nomination six years ago, would
get the senatorial seat of Pendleton if the
