GEORGIA POLITICS.


have gone to Caba, aud their readers are
enjoying much needed rest
1t is understood that Col. J. r. Lewis has
Endorsed Denning for the Augusta pOstmas-
tership in the strongest terms.
Darien Timber-G Gazette: 1t looks as
though Mcintosh county was for Rufus E.
Lester for governor. Good man.
Dawson Journal: Livingston is not
likely to be governor Of Georgia. The
people don't want him and they are not
going TO have him.
Harry Phinizy of Athens announces him
self as candidate for representative from
Clarke county. He is the only candidate
In the field up to date.
1t is now believed that Judge Lawson's
candidacy may keen Hon. T. II. Galley out
of the race in the Eighth. The fight seems
to be all against Carlton.
No candidate wbo has aspired to the
Georgia governorship in recent years has
received more uncomplimentary editorial
notices than Col. Livingston.
Hon. Frank II. Colley of Washington will
be candidate for congress from the Eighth.
His formal announcement has not been
made, but will be within a short time
Dawson Journal: It looks like Hon. o.
B. Stephens Will have no opposition as a
candidate for the Senate in this district
This is right. He will make good senator.
Dawson Journal. The politicians have
had field week at the Albany Chau auqua
Few of them have let the opportunity pass
to aid in the enlightenment Of the dear PEG
pie.
Augusta Ne,cs: That was bad break of
Candidate Livingston down in Albany. 1t
| really appears that this speech is the dying
| yawp of a desparing politician, for it will
about settle DIR. LlvlngSton'S chances for
| the gubernat1rial succession.
Conyers Bonner: Col. Edwards of Gov
| ington was in the city Thursday getting the
| signature Of his friends mere to his applica-
ton for United States commissioner of rev.
enue. Col. Edwards was the efficient ordi-
nary of Newton county for a number of
years.
Darien Timber Gazette: South Georgia
should rally to the support of Rufus E.
Lester for governor. Mr.. Lester is not a
| candidate for governor and that is the prin-
| cipal reason why South Georgia should
rally to his support. He would make an
excellent chief magistrate.
The Piedmont Republican, the new paper
publ at Jasper. is owned by a stock
| company headed by S. A Darnell. United
| States district attorney for the Northern
district Of Georgia. The Republican stards
in with Buck, and will probably work for
Darnell in his candidacy for congress.
Dawson Journal: There ought not to be
any opposition to Gen. Phil Cooks election
| as secretary of state. He deserves this
much of the people of Georgia. Uncle Bob
| Hardeman has made Georgia an excellent
treasurer. He will hardly have any opposi-
ton as long as he wants to succeed himself
DIR. Carlton has decided not to be in the
next race for congress in his district, and
| has 50 written to his friends He is going
m ha nd ybol
time to the big land company he has
| formed, and of which he is president. His
letter to this effect will be givea to the
press soon. His place of residence will be
| Washington.
Warrenton Clipper. We think il would
| be very wise in both Mr.. Northen and Mr.
Livingston to leave off the party at whose
| head they now stand and enter the guberna-
toral arena as SPAIN w. j. Northen
| and L. F. Livingston, aud not as w. j.
Nortleu, president of the State Agricultur-
al Society, and L. +. Livingston, president
| of the farmers alliance.
E. B. Tate has announced himself a can
didate to represent Ebert county in the
next legislature. Mr.. Tate is chairman of
| the board of commissioners of roads and
revenues Of Ebert county, and has bsen
| since its organization some fifteen years ago.
! He has also served term as ordinary of the
| county, was a soldier in Benning's brigade
| and was very seriously wounded during the
war, from which he has never recovered.
For the last ten or twelve years he has been
| in the mercantile business in Elberton, but
he has Withdrawn from business this year.
Griffin Coll: We have before US the files
| of the american Union, published in
| Griffin in 1858, wherein the grand Jurors in
| their general preSentments call upon tdeir
| representatives to use all their influence in
securing the removal of the state c pital to
| Griffin, urging as strong points the CEN
trai location, fine railroad facilities, health
and an abundance of pure water. In our
opinion it was the urging of Grillin'S supply
OF water that lost her the coveted prize
| From an observation of twenty-five years
We are constrained to say that but little
water is ever needed by a Georgia legisla-
ture. Had Spalding county been up in the
| peach and grape culture and their modern
uses, and said nothing about her supply of
water, this might to-day be the capital of
the state.
