elected not as an allianceman.n The oppo-
sttion grew out Of mistakes and misunder-
standings. As TO 'slappIng the alliance in
the face, he quoted from speeches TO the
contrary. He stated that the certificate in
the Constitution was a mistake, and he
would produce ten men for every one who
signed it denying the imputatiou. He said
that no such speech ever fell from his lips.

A scene OF confusion followed. "Put

Kisses were heard from all parts of the
house. Several impstuous auditors would
have attempted physical protestation but
were restrained. "pm not going to lose
my temper" remarked Gen. Gordon. Gov.
Northen, he stated. would bear him out
that no such words were uttered
he had urged organization of the farm

A FINE PERoRArIoN.
His portrayal Of old ties and experiences
was one OF his finest perorations. Tremend-
Gus cheering greeted it. To relieve the

Col. Warren Aiken, who took so promi-
nent part I'm the recent congressional
campaign in the Seventh district. publishes
a letter In the Journal of this afternoon,
eloquently pleading Gov. Gordon's cause.
The article with that of Editor Brown has
been widely read and is the talk Of the
town.
THREE CAUoUSEs.
Three caucuses were held to-day, one by
the Gordon men, and two by the anti-Gor-
don men. Nothing startling was looked for
from the first, and the anti-Gordon caucus
OF tonight seems TO have been held merely
with view OF Keeping the oppo.
sition members away from the speak.
ing. The afternoons caucus gath
cred together fifty antilGordonites
as against eighty-hve Friday. The name
or Hon. w. q. Glenn, formerly of Whitfield
county, and author of the railway county
tax bill, was considered. Mr.. Glenn, how
ever, said tonight that he was not candi-
date. He did not know what he might be
under other circumstances. He would like
TO see young man go to the Senate who
would be in no danger OF having it flung in
his face that he was once a confederate
brigadier.
n. J. HAMMOND MENTIONED.
Hon. N. J. Hammond is the talk tonight
and his would be the strongest name, per
haps, yet suggested were 1t not that he hai
never favored the alliance, but, on the con.
trary, said in public scarcely more than I
week ago: "Of course don't care anything
about the alliance. All this stuff abou
dividing the country into farmers and law
yers Is the merest poppycock." There il
little likelihood that Col. Hammond would
consent 10 run. SO far as can be learned
the anti-Gcrdonites are now as far from
concentrating as ever. Meantime Mr.
Aiken's letter. Harry Browns editorial and
Gordons speech are having their effect
and coming all together are expected TO
break the backbone OF the opposition, stub
born as it is. That editorial, by the way
is said to have beenaremoved from part o.
the issue OF the Alliance Farmer inGeudeo
for the city, that the legislators might not
know Of the insult offered them.
