Wiu1berly of Burke, former member OF
the legislature. A proposition was made by
the contestants to let the Georgia delegation
settle the contest in the Tenth before leav-
ing for Chicago, but both factions are so
determined that the matter will probably
go before the convention. The contest,
however, which will be the most heated
will be between T. r. Putney, present ma
tional committeeman from Georgia, and
Col A. e. Buck The latter probably
stands the best chance, as he will be in a
position at Chicago to manage things to
suit himself.
