Col. William A. Broughton of Madison

gress in the Eighth districl. He is treasurer
of the state alliance AMI writes a letter in
dorsing the principles of the order, but de-
claring that the time for a canvass of the
districts is too shOr.
Augusta Chronicle: The First district
seems TO be bed Of surprises. Lightning
plavs around in a subtle and startling way.
No one seems to know, when convention
meets, what is going to happen. Public
men stand with bowed heads, and politicians
are sudden and unexpected in their move
Inents 1t is the improbable that usually
occurs and the result lie always in the dark
until the crisis comes
Atlanta correspondence Augusta Chroni-
Gle: The indications are that Moses has
knocked out both Tom Grimes and Henry
K. Harris in the Fourth, and that Everett
will defeat Clements. Has Tom Norwood
been dickering with the alliance? | see he
says he is no candidate, "but would serve"
etc. The impression here is that he has
quietly knitted Lester and that he will warm
his old chair at Washington.
John W. Burney is now the choice of the
alliancemen of Morgan county for repre-
sentative of the legislature Rumors have
reached the ears of the HGdiSOnian that an
Independent candidate will enter the
field against Mr.. Burney. Whether this
Will prove only a rumor or not is not
known, but 1t is said that p II. Nc Whorter
OF Buckhead will probably be the indie
pendent, while another rumor has conferred
upon A Studdard of Rutledge.
brunswick POSt:Congressional matters are
beginning to excite some interest since the
executive committee has fixed the date for
holding the nominating convention. Col.
Lester will, of course, ask for a renomina-
ton from this district. 1t seems TO be not
improbable that the Hon. I. NJ Norwood
may again come before the people Should
he decide to do so. it is likely that the vote
OF Glynn county will be cast for him in the
convention. This, of course, presupposes
that there is no candidate in the field from
this county. There are not wanting per-
sons who believe that either Judge Atk1n-
son, Judge Symmes OF Solicitor General
Brantley could successfully compete for the
nomination. Savannah has dictated the
nomination for such long Tina that it is
possible that an appeal might be made to
allow the nomination to come from this end
of the district
A special from Washington to the Column
bus EnQuirer-Sun says: "Col E,C. Wade,
well known in Georgia as a republican, in
an interview to-day stated it to be the in
tention of the republican managers in
Georgia to run candidates in all congress
slonal districts. In the First, Goodyear of
Bruins wick would be urged to make the
race. In the Second. Wade himself proposed
to try Turner round, while Jack Brown,
Gen. Bethune, Angler and Darnall would
stand as candidates respectively in the
Third, Fourth, Fifth and Ninth. 1t has not
been determined as yet who would be NOM
mated in the other districts, but in case
ouAVuOle TepuDllCanS cannot De 1OQnQ the
party vote would be thrown for any indie
pendent or allianceman who stood chance
TO beat the regular democratic ticket. Col.
Wade has been here a month, presumably
to dicker with Belden's congressional com
mlttee. from whom he hopes to secure
usufruct for campaign purposes. He states
that he had full talk with Col. Buck
before leaving Georgia, and that the re-
publican chief was actively alive to the
scheme and in sympathy with it. Later,
in an interview, Col. Jack Brown sub
stantially corroborated Col. Wade's story.
He stated that he had been solicited to
make the race against Crisp. and if the
wherewithal was supplied by the national
congressional committee, he saw no reason
why he should not enter upon the hastings
He claimed that he was against Harrison's
administration aud the force bill, aud was
in hearty sympathy with the farmers in
their fight for the sub-treasury SYSTEM
