senatorship himFelf, and is not, therefore.
going TO voluntarily let the results OF his
work go TO help elect any one else. The
popular opinion is that If he fails he has no
objection TO Gen. Gordon succeeding.
WHERE THE REGULARS ARE.
Il is noticeable that all the regulars, that
Is, all the old-time workers from differ
ent parts of the state, are working against
Gen. Gordon. There must bs a reason for
this, though what the reason is every one
must form his own conjecture. These men
are power, and may be able TO draw votes
away from Gen. Gordon. There are judges
and solicitors 70 be elected, and mem bers
may be influenced to smother their convic-
tons relative to the senatorship TO get votes
for some one they want for Judge or solic-
itor. In conducting a campaign of this
Kind the regulars have great advantage,
because they know the ropes
There are fewer office seekers in this
legislature than il previous ones. As
rule. the members are sincere aad earnest
men, bent on doing the duty thoy wore
elected to perform, to the best Of their abil-
ity, and will take the right course In most
cases il they are not drawn away from it by
outside Influences.
is LIVINGSTON A CANDIDArEe
Is Col. Livingston candidate for the
Senates is a question that Is often asked.
That question, of course, cannot be answered
with any degree Of certainty by any one
except himself. and he has said that he is
not candidate. There is suspicion in
many minds, however, that he is hoping
that senatorial lightning will strike him
that 1t will be found impossible for the op-
position TO Gen. Gordon to agree upon q
candidate, and that there will
then be an opening for him to
come to the front and grasp the prize with
out seeming to have made any effort for It.
lr is believed that he has done all he could
to increass Mr.. Calhoun's chances, but the
question is asked: Has he done this believ-
ing that Mr.. Calhoun would be wholly ac-
ceptable to the alliance or with the secret
hope that il Mr. Calhoun failed the latter's
work could be utilized to his own advantagei
These are mere speculations, however, but
they show the thoughts in the minds
OF men here on the scene
of action. But IL Col. Livingston
has any such idea it can be pretty safely
stated that Mr.. Calhoun has no notion that
Col. Livingston shall reap the benefit of his
iabor-that is, he is not working with the
view of helping Col. Livingston should he
himself fail to attain the object he is seek
ing.
GoRDoN'S ALLIANCE FRIENDS.
IL must not DO tnought That Gen. Gordon
has no friends among the alliance. He has
quite number, and they are working en-
thusiastically for him. IL is estimated that
outside Of those alliancemen who are openly
for him, there are a large number of al
liancemen who would come to his support
at once II they felt free to follow their
inclinations. They are only held back
by the urgings of the ALLAN CO
leaders and the instructions Of their county
alliances. They recognize that the fight
| against Gen. Gordon is being sustained by
| the alliance leaders, the chief of whom are
not residents Of Georgia. Gen. Gordon ia
the second choice of the majority OF those
who are opposing him, and Il there should
be break in the opposition there would bs
a rush to him that would elect him by an
overwhelming majority. Some interesting
developments may be expected this week
OCCASIONAL.
