As Senator from the First Distriet-Al-
so in the House of Representatives?

80 in the House of Representatives?
I beg to suggest the following gentle
men with some Of the reasons prompting
To the Senatorial district would sug-
gest the name Of that long tried and faith
full public servant,
r. L. LESTER.
For House Of Representatives:
". W. GORDON,
J. Z. SAUssY,
G.. Nj. RIVALS.
Mr.. Lester has been so long and 1ntl-
matelv associated with the voters Of the
district that he is not a stranger even to
the women and children. From the pO-
sition Of President of the Senate, so ably
filed for successive terms, he is, perhaps.
better known and more highly appreci.
ated than any man of his years in the
State. In the Senate he would be a tower
of strength to any measure involving the
interests of his district, as well as an &C
quis ton to the legislation of the State at
large.
The name Of Gordon would he a pass
port to the admiration and confidence OF
the House. His ability as man, his eX-
perience as a financier, his great famlll-
arity With accounts, commend him as one
fully qualified for the arduOus duties as
Chairman of the Finance Committee. His
nigh character and fine ability eminently
qualify him for a successful legislator.
Saussy is known as a man OftOwering III
! tellect, sterling integrity, ready debater, 8
lawyer Of marked ability. AS Chairman Of
the Judiciary Committee he would re-
| fleet great credit upon himself and his
| constituency, as well as render great ser
| vice to the State.
Ryals possesses a mind of very high or
| der, a great worker, Of indOmItable will
| great personal magnetism, conscious
| pleasant, popular. Such a man mus
| have great weight and influence in am
| legislative body. His long and successful
/ experience as a practical and sclentln'
/ planter pre-eminently qualify him i0l
/ legislating upon the great interests of thu
/ tillers Of the soil. and point to him as ont
/ eminently qualified for the position o
/ Chairman OF the Committee on Agricul
/ ture.
The question necessarily arises, VIII
| these gentlemen serve? l cannot answe
the question. Ny judgment is that the.
will, if the matter is properly brought be
fore them. AN OLD DEMOCRAT.

Bright Flashes of Intelligence from
Near and Afar.

Rome Bulletin: A Bulletin reporter
met to-day j. Sears. Chief Engineer of
the surveying party of the new
line of the Rome and Chattanooga
Railroad. Mr.. Sears says his surveying
party will reach Rome tomorrow night,
when he VIII make his calculations and
estimates as to the cost Of building and
equipping. He says he is now safe In
saying that the road, narrow gauge, can
be graded and laid with the best steel
rails and thoroughly equipped for less
than SIC, 900 per mile. The proposed line
runs from Chattanooga to Crawnsh
Springs, Lafayette, TriOn factory, sum-
merville and through Cathy's gap to
Rome. The distance is less than 70 miles.
The route is entirely out Of water, except
the short stretch in the limits of DeSotO.
Americas Recorder: At meeting Of
the Directors of the Americas. Preston
ard Lumpkin Railroad, held on Friday. it
was decided to build the road on the mar
row gauge plan. The argument in favor
Of making this change is that the cost OF
construction is so much less that by using
the present subscriptions and bonding
the road for a small amount the road can
be built and equipped by the stOckhold-
ers, who will then own and control the
road; while to build a standard gauge
road would necessitate giving the control
Of it to the Central or some other road.
An effort will be Immediately made to
build a narrow gauge road from Americas
to Vienna. The people of DOOly are eX-
tremely anxious to secure railroad COM
munication and they have promised
liberal subscriptions. Such road would
certainly be benefit to Americas, and to
the Central Road as a feeder. as at pres
ent the great bulk of the DOOly trade goes
to Hawkinsville and is carried over the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Road

IacOn's Sporting ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS has
Been Suggested In savannah.

MacOn's Sporting ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS has
Been Suggested IN Savannah.
Savannah has been OutdOne by Macon
in the organization of the Macon Sports
mans Association, which has recently
been accomplished, with a membership of
about 20. The object Of the club, as
stated in the application for charter, is
''the announcement of skill with the shot
gun, the protection Of fish and game, the
advancement of athletic sports, and the
promotion Of fellowship and a high stand
ara of action among spOrtsmen."
The club will fit up grounds and erect
buildings for its use. To meet this eX-
pense stock will be issued, and, to in
crease the funds from time to time, fees
CT admission to witness gun and ball
contests will be charged. The charter
permits the issuing of stOckup to $4,000.
A similar move has been contemplated
in Savannah, but nothing has ever been
successfully accomplished. Last year the
Georgia State Base Ball Association was
organized here, but its membership was
extended so as to include clubs in other
parts of the State and its local feature
was dropped. With a leading base ball
interest and two gun clubs and other
sporting organizations il has been sug-
gested that a combination of all these in
terests into a general association would
accomplish better results than now exist
under a separate organization.

Central OmciaJs Laugh at the Rumorsd
Loan to the Louisville and Nashville.
1t is rumored in Alabama that the Cen
trail Railroad is on the point of loaning
the Louisville and Nashville Company
5000, 900, which the company needs.
An Associated Press dispatch about a
week ago stated that the Louisville and
Nashville was about to issue $1,000, 900 in
new per cent. bonds, and an equal
amount in per cent. preferred stock.
The Montgomery Ala. Advertiser says
as to the rumOr regarding the CentraPs
part IN this business. it is said that the
Central will furnish s., OO0, 600 and assume
control Of the Louisville and Nashville
lIue from Montgomery to New Orleans
and run it in the interest Of the great
Central system. which now extends from
Montgomery through Eufaula and Macon
to Savannah, TO Atlanta and to other
points. The most valuable link in the
Louisville and Nashville system is that
between Montgomery and New Orleans,
and the Louisville and Nashville people
would never part with it without deter
mined struggle. The rumOr may be
founded on fact. however, and develop
ments may be looked for. And there may
be some connection between this and the
report that General Manager Gabbett, of
the Western road. will assume control of
the Louisville and Nashville line from
Montgomery To New Orleans.
A MORNING NEWS reporter called upon
the Central Railroad officials in regard to
the matter yesterday and was informed
that the rumOr had not the slightest fOun-
dation in fact. The Central Railroad is
hardly in a position at present to enter
into any such negotiation. The officials
laugh at the righteousness Of the rumor.

Of the late Duke of Wellington to the

affected and seemed quite unable to ac-

THE LEGISLATIVE CONTEST.

The Irish-American Association In
dorses John ". Wilson for Senator
and the Leaders Ticket for the Lower
House.
The action Of the Irish-AmeTican Demo-
cratic Association last night in indorsing
the legislative ticket promoted by the
Young Mems Democratic Club on Mon
DAY night, has given deeper complexion
to local politics. IL was pretty generally
understood that the movement which
eliminated in the organization of the
club was to defeat the candidacy OF Capt.
Falligant for Senator.
1t was asserted yesterday that the ac-
tiOu Of the Young Mems Club IN
Withholding its Endorsement OF any
Senatorial candidate was brought
about in opposition to the general senti-
ment Of the club. which was understood
to be favorable to Capt. Falligant's nomi-
nation. In this connection it may be
proper to say that Capt. Falligant's name
has been used in connection with the
SeuatOrship altogether without
his consent. His candidacy
has been promoted wholly by his friends.
who have used his name with the belief
that he might accept the nomination If IL
was rendered him. His position has been
altogether opposed to entering the con-
test.
The Irish movement organized in the
association last night under the leader
ship Of Mai. Jordan +. Brooks repre-
sents a membership of about 800.
1t was understood TO be favorable to the
ticket bearing the names OF Capt. Gordon,
Col. Reilly and Mr.. Hartridge as candi-
dates for election &c the lower house, and
in its unanimous Endorsement pledged its
support in this direction.
In the Senatorial contest Mr.. Wilson
received a unanimous Endorsement.
THIS move centralizes the two OrganiZa-
tiOns, the Young Mems Democratic Club
and the Irish-American Association. and
they viii 20 into the mass meeting united
I'm support Of the same ticket.
The Citizens Protective Association, it
was rumOred last night, would indOrse
Major Ryals. 1t was claimed by others,
v no believed themselves TO be reliably
Informed. that Major Ryals for the sake
Of harmony would withdraw from the
contest.
Whatever move may be made to-day it
is pretty certain that the ticket backed
by the Young Mems Democratic Club and
the Irish movement will carry with it a
powerful influence. MIR. Wilson's friends
claim that his chances for the Sena-
tocship are improving. and that
there is little doubt Of his
nomination. IL is barely possible that
other candidates viii be put forward for
the honor. The friends Of Judge Russell
claim for HIN a significant following, and
the country presents its claims for a
representation. The indications point to
a lively gathering tomorrow night and
sfarp contest in the division Of the
hlnOrs. With no issue at stake the cam
paign has from the start been an extreme
1w active one.
