Georgia politicians are in ferment.
Unexpectedly the grand prize of the Gov
ernorship is offered to the lucky man who
may get the nomination of the Demo
cratic Convention which viii meet on the
10th of April, two weeks before the cleo
ton. There are 80 many deserving men
in the great State that the flutter among
these and their friends is not surprising.
None worthier, perhaps, could be selected
than the gentleman whose claims are thus
advanced by the Columbus Inquirer:
To lay that the selection Of the Governor Of
Georgia Is question Of personal preference
would be slandrr upon the grandest old state

alton from the Democratic parry, whose interest
Is very much At stake. II demands the highest

We have received from the Orange
