ATLANTA. July ga curious story. started
here to-day, shows how strained are Tho rela-
! lions between Gov Gordon and the Farmers
| Alliance. AS soon as Gov Gordon read The
| Suns Atlanta despatch. in which the candidacy
! oil Col. Livingston for the Senate was made so
| plain. he called his friends into consultation.
| and 1t was decided that something must be
| done and done quickly. Tho rumor to-day ia
| that among others whom Gov. Gordon called
| to Atlanta for consultation was Col.
W. J. Northen. who Is now getting the
unanimous vote OF the Democratic
primaries fer Governor. Col Northen is
also the candidate OF tho Alliance men. 1t
was supposed that he would readily answer
the coll, and THAI his espousal OF Gordon
would, TO considerable degree. Offset tho op-
position OF Livingston. Northen didn't come
and, what Is moro. won't come. He sent word
10 Gordon that he did not end II convenient to
leave Sparta, rs the rain had started the grass

needed in the field At the same time he eug-
gested to Gordon that II hil wish to see him
was urgent he could End him at the old farm
house Just In sight OF Sparta Tho question
now comes up whether the private citizen
should respond to tho call OF the Governor, or
whether the outgoing Governor should render
obedience to the man who is SO shortly TO take
his place.
A clever piece of bYplay has been developed
in the Congress rnce in the Fifth district.
which has bearing on the Senatorship. When
Stewart was routed by Livingston It left Col.
W. II. Hulsey in the race. AS the only county
Hulsey could hope to carry was Fulton, which
would make him available as q dark horse In q
close race, he was considered practically as
dead. The fact is that In but one Of tho seven
counties which have voted did Husey get
single vote. All OF q sudden, when the race is
decided In LiviuEston's favor. even II every
remaining county should go against him, the
war record OF Col. Husey is pushed into
the canvass. Hulsey went into Tho war
