Butt goes to the gubernatorial convention.
d. B. Wells is nominated for the legisla-
ture. and German gets the delegates for
congressman.
NEWTON DON'T LIKE IT.
CONVICTION, July 24-The supporters of
Judge Stewart condemn him for withdraw
ing from the race for congress. They had
accepted him as their standard bearer. not
as an individual simply, but as represent
alive of a principle. Hulsey, who is
hardly known in this county as can
didate, has no tickets here Hence
there will be but small percentage OF the
opposition who take the trouble to scratch
Stewart and insert Hulsey's name. Liv-
ingston and his friends, therefore, will
claim that Hulsey represents the opposition
to Livingston and his plan. and they will
50 publish it TO the country in order TO
strengthen their party in other districts
and it will certainly encourage and tend to
bring out opposition in every district in the
state. 1t has already emboldened some here
TO boast that Turner and Blount would be
beaten.
HENDERSON CARRIED HART.
HARTwELL, GA, July 24-Commissioner
Henderson carried Hart county for commits
sioner of agriculture in the primary yester-
day. The official count gives him 4l2,
Hunnicutt 400 and Nesbit $40. The other
estimates telegraphed last night were con-
firned to-day.
GOV. GORDON NOT FRIGHTENED.
ATLANTA, GA, July 4.-The report that
Gov. GOTdOn DaQ Called meeting OF MS
political friends for consul tation on account
of the reported candidacy of Col. Living
ston for the Senate was denied to-day in
the governors presence. Gov. Gordon did
not seem in the least disturbed, but on the
other hand stated that he was in receipt
of numerous letters from alliance
men pledging him their support. Col.
Albert Cox has no idea of running as an
independent against Col. Livingston for
congress He has been approached on the
subject, and he does not believe Col. Living
ston invincible, but in order to beat him he
would be obliged, he says, to make the race
outside of the democratic organization, and
this he is unwilling to do.
BARNES CARRIES RICHMOND.
AUGUSTA, GA, July 24-Complete re-
turns are not in from all the country pre-
cincts, but not more than 100 votes will be
added to the totals already counted in Rich
mond's congressional primary.
The city gives Barnes 53S, and Watson g.
Harrisburg gives Watson % and
Barnes 10.
Hepzibah gives Barnes and Watson 8.
The fact that there are more than 100
registered voters in the precinct and only
II votes we're cast shows the indifference
that was felt.
Congress nan Barnes carries the county
by more than ten to one.

candidate for judge of the Augusta circuit,
and was here to-day calling on the lawyers
in the interest Of his candidacy. As be-
tween these two the Augusta bar will sand
