The Albany News and Advertiser thinks
that We will have lone OF the liveliest
skirmishes ever witnessed in the Second
Congressional district when the .conven-
ton meets at Camilla to nominate the
Democratic candidate ON August %"
The Advertiser adds: There are now
four pronounced candidates In the field,
viz; Hon.. IL. G.. Turner, the present in
cumbent, Hon. II. q. Mitchell of Thomas,
Hon. w. i. Zones OF DoughertY, and Hon.
j. Ii. Query, OF Terrell. We include
Mr.. Turner in the list Of pronounced can
didates upon the fact that his own cOun-
ty, Brooks, has already elected delegates
and instructed them TO present his name
to the convention. There are seventeen
counties in the district. Thomas and De-
caturicoupties will have four votes each,
and all the other counties Will have
two votes each in the convention,
making the total number OF votes
thirty-eight. With four candidates IN the
field, each having a respectable follow
ing, neither can expect to carry into the
convention anything like a majority vote,
and the result is therefore mixed with
much uncertainty. At present the out
look is about as fellows: Turner viii go
IN with Brooks, Mitchell and Decatur,
and probably Lowndes and Berrien.
Mitchell will have Thomas and
Colquitt, and seems to stand an
equal showing with Turner in
LOwndes and Berrien. Jones will have
Dougherty, Worth and Baker. Guerry's
friends claim Terrell, Randolph, Clay,
Calhoun, Quitman, Miller and Early, but
apprehend close contest with Turner's
friends in the counties of Calhoun, Ran
dolph and Early. AS none of the cOun-
ties except Mitchell, Brooks and Thomas
have yet elected their delegates, the APP
portionment between the candidates as
laid down above will not be ac-
cepted as final; but when the roll OF
counties is called at the convention it
will be found that we have not missed 1t
far, and that the doubtful have
been correctly piaoGd--Lowndes and
Berrien between Turner and Mitchell,
and Calhoun, Randolph and Early be-
tween Turner and Query. There are
rumors of dark horses and OF a cOmbina-
ton to defeat Mr.. Turner with the same
tactics thatdefeated Smith at Dawson in
1880. but 1t is too early yet to speculate
upon these matters"
