What are tae Peculiar Methods


letter dated Atlanta, Aug. 9. and signed
III. W, which was published in the New
York Sun Aug. II, and in which an effort
Is made 70 give some account Of the political
situation in this state, CONTAINS the asser-
ton that a compromise has been made in
thu First congressional district which will
perhaps secure the return Of Mr. Lester to
congress. The following is IA extract
from it:
If a prophet could have foretold six
months ago the present political situation
in Georgia, he would have been set down as
a crazy man or a fool The old ring, which
has held a whip-Iand over the state 81 nee
war times, was never more confident than
at the beginning Of e year, and yet the
summer IS not gone, with six of the ten
present c)ngressme1 run out Of their seats,
and but two Of the re nainI * four renOmi-
mated after fight to the death. Ths Sa-
vanuah district has made a CO nprumise
and will, perhaps, return Mr.. Lester, for
the good reason that a political squabOle
would uncover the peculiar rnstaOds they
use in that latitude. If Mr.. Crisp succeeds
himself he will owe his sest to the same
state of local affair.", and they know exactly
what power it gives them in a congressional
district convention.
1t would bs interesting to know what the
peculiar methods are TO which the writer
of the letter refers. 1t is doubtful if be him
self knows. 1t looks very much Us if he did
not want to admit that Mr.. Lester and Mr..
Crisp are popular with their constituents,
who want to keep them in congress, and, in
order to account for their probable renomi-
nation, asserts that there was a compro-
mise, which was assented to because il was
feared that political squabole would IN
cover the peculiar methods" used in this
part Of the state.
If there are any peculiar methods en-
ployed in either Representative LISTERS dis
trict or Representative Crisp's, the fact is
kept remarkably quiet, SO quiet that only
the writer of the Atlanta letter appears to
have heard of it. Representative Crisp
does not appear to have any opposition
worth noticing, and the op-
position to Representative Lester
was so mild that he had no difficulty
in over oming it. He simrly went among
the people and talked with them. No
peculiar methods" were used by him or
by anybody in his behalf so far as known.
He explained his views on public matters
in perfectly straightforward way, a d
his constituents were satisfied. If other
statements in "H. W. S" letters are not more
nearly correct than those which refer to
this congressional district, they are not
very reliable.
