ATLANTA, GA, Sent. s-The Southern
Alliance Farmer has in its issue to-day
numerous short editorials against Gov. Cor
don for the Senate. Among them are these
showing that war is being made on him on
account of his opposition TO the sub-treas-
ury:
There is a living issue in this land, and this
issue is more m lney, cheaper money money
to meet all the demands Of commerce and
based upon the supply Of and demand for
farm products and backed by -pertShable
farm products. We cannot afford TO trade this
living issue for man or a sentiment.
Anything to beat tn alliance. Gov. Gordon,
DR. FELTON, aud Patrick Walsh all in the
same lat. Nothing but their enmity 10 the
alliance would cave brought them together.
Stand to the alliance and don't let these able
politicians lead you TO forsake the grand cause.
II has been the purpose of this paper to OPP
pose Gen. Gordon as candidate for the Senate
upon the issues of the present We have not
intended to go behind 1t. and we hope the gov
ernor will not throw down the challenge again
which be did in his speech in Putnam when he
spoke of his record as senator.
1t is FELTON, and Gordon against Everett ana
the alliance.
Col. Livingston is now associate editor OF
the Southern Alliance Farmer and he is
doubtless the author of the paragraphs cut
ting at Gov. Gordon.

Col Livingston. Ed. Angler wants to run,
but the Attorney General said both he and
District Attorney Darneli could
time as the attorneys office
here would go to the dogs. So Angler, being
the lesser light, was blown out. 1t is said
that Col. Bucks hand Is in this move There
Is no love lost between these brethren
in the Republican party. Mr.. Angler being
a southern man, was opposed to the force

duced the Attorney General to order him to
withdraw from the race or resign his place
of assistant attorney. He withdrew. The

the friend of workingmen, has announced

A STATE sENAToRsHIP soUABBLE.
There is a squabble in Fulton county over
the state senatorship, According to the
rotation system between Clayton, Cobb and
f..lN 49, Nf-
nominate the senator, and she proposed
Robert Todd, an obscure country preacher.
Fulton didn't like him, and decided TO put
out w. II. Venable, and at mass meeting
held here some weeks ago six delegates were
appointed to the senatorial convention
which meets on Wednesday. Among them
was S. NJ Talaferro, who was for Rev.
Todd, the others were for Mr.. Venable. The
friends of Mr.. Nenable brought the matter to
the attention of the executive committee,
aud it decided that the delegates we're ap-
pointed without authority and ordered a
primary held to select delegates. Six Ven
able men were chosen. Mr.. Taliaferro
now claims that he is delegate, and he
will present his credentials to the conven-
ton. The Venable delegates will also pre-
sent their credentials.
A COMPLICATED SITUATION.
Then this question will arise: "Who will
act on the contestw If Cobb and Clayton |
counties take it upon themselves to settle
the dispute these delegates will be more
than apt to allow Mr.. Tsliaferro to take q
seat, as Cobb and Claytoa counties both
went for Mr.. Todd. But here's another
question: If Mr.. Taliaferro is given a seat,
won't all the other delegates appointed
by the mass meeting be entitled to a seat.
and won't this throw out all the Venable
delegates9 On the other hand, the delegates
from Fulton county elected In the primary
may claim that they have as much right to
act as Clayton and Cobb counties, and,
having as many votes, they will have just
as much power.
