Politics Down in Georgia.
New York special.
Gen. Gordon, the Democratic candidate
for Governor OF Georgia, is in New York
on n flying visit. In response to an inquiry
regarding the canyass in Georgia, he re-
piled: ave haven't any. We are present.
ing the singular spectacle in Georgia of
having only one candidate for Governor.
So far it seems that the one we have is ac-
ceptable to both parties. There is no par
ticular excitement among us now, and our
people are paying the strictest attention to
their material interests. Our people are
natural politicians, but the necessities of
our new conditions have made them pay
more attention to their planting and gather
ing than in those days when they had some
body to work for them.
Gen. Beaurcgard on Mr.. Cleveland.
Gen. G.. T. Beauregard Of New Orleans,
who is in New York, said TO a reporter:
mir. Cleveland appears to be making n very
good President, and l think he will gain
in popularity before his term expires. He
has been handicapped by the Republican
Senate in making removals. Ciyil-service
reform may be all right, but think one
half of the people who are in should be
turned out before we should apply it. That
would be no more than fair. The South is
having an era of prosperity, and our peo-
pie have very little cause to complain.
