HENDERsoN's VICTORY
To say that the instructing of the state
convention delegates to vote for Commits
sioner Henderson was q surprise would be
putting it mildly. Such thing was not
thought of and so confident were those of a
sporting turn that Col Nisbet would be
with no takers. A large majority of the
shrewdest politicians were working for Col
Nisbet. 1t certainly appeared hopeful for
him, but change was wrought by the per-
sistent and energetic efforts of P w. Flem-
ing, an ardent supporter of Commissioner
Henderson. He worked faithfully for Com
missioner Henderson, and, although he is
not politician, succeeded in euchrelng
some of the best in this county.
THE LEGISLATIVE RACE.
An interesting feature of the race for
legislative honors is the withdrawal Of
Hon. James Postell, the former representa-
tive. This leaves the race narrowed down
TO j. E. Dart, Harry F. Dunwody and J. j.
Spears. Some are of the opinion that Mr..
Postell withdrew In favor of Mr.. Dart aud
the verdict of many Is that Mr.. Dart will
get the nomination, although Mr.. Dunwody
will run him a close race The great fear
that is now spreading among the people
of Glynn is that Mr.. Spears, now mayor.
will run as an independent, in which case a
negro, who it is certain will be brought out.
will ride into the House by an overwhelm-
ing majority. 1t is a hard matter now to
elect democrat against a republican, and
since the race is divided between the demo
Gratis aud possibly an independent, victory
for the negroes and defeat for the demo
Gratis seem certain. Some of the Oldest
matter and it is causing much talk
The republicans of Glynn county to-day
decided not TO put up a candidate for repre-
sentative. Deputy Collector Hugh Christie
pher said tonight that the republicans
favored Capt. Dart as their congressional
nominee.
