Other Incidents of the State Cam
paign.
ATLANTA, GA, July 2l.-Congressman
I Stewart retired to-day from the race,
leaving the field to Col. Livingston and
Col. Hulsey. The latter announces his in
tention of fighting to the end, but nobody
now regards Col Livingston's election as
doubtful Congressman Stewart In his
card says: AT the time the
contest commenced was led to believe the
farmers' alliance as an organization was
non-Dartisan, and would not as body take
part in the contest between myself
aud my opponent, but in this l
was mistaken. am not a member of the
order, and, as it is a secret one, l am not
only placed on unequal terms, but have no
means of contending with it. This order
demanded that | pledge myself to vote for
what is known as the sub-treasury bill.
This l cannot do. can afford TO be beaten,
but cannot stullify myself in order to OBJ
tain seat in congress by agreeing 10 vote
for a measure which, if adopted, IN my
opinion, would bring ruin to the people"
FULTON GOING FOR HULsEY.
He adds that he presumes Fulton will go
for Col. Hulsey, and though believing be
could himself carry four or five OF the
smaller countie- without Fulton be could
not be nominated.
In an interview to-day Congressman
Stewart said: II am induced to take this
cta,, nv Savaral raa sons have been assured
by personal friends whom have ana who
love me as brothers that they would gladly
vote for me if they could, but that they
would vote against their fathers II they
opposed the candidates OF the alliance L
have heard it stated that parties had said 1t
made no difference to them what sort of
man the alliance Endorsed, they must vote
for him. They seem to have a kind of Idea
that the government will, in some way,
issue to them large sums of money, either
through the sub-treasury bill or in some
other way, and that consolldates them.
The MORNING News correspondent hears
that Col. Hulsey bases his hopes on attack
ing Col. Livingston's war record, in which
point he has been told the alllanceman Is
vulnerable. At Conyers tomorrow Col.
HuIsey will probably speak at the reunion
of the Fortv-second Georgia, and he may
then begin the attack.
There is much opposition to Col. Living
