rience just now," said he this afternoon
"The political atmosphere IL heated severa
times hotter than II Is won't to be heated be
cause each Of half o dozen gentlemen believe
that he and he alone should succeed Senator
George In the Senate. Very naturally Mr.
George desires to succeed himself
and to that end he Is making many
speeches and is otherwise exertinp
himself His principal opponent Il
Colonel Barksdale, who was once in Con
gress and who ran against ne last year, Mr.
Barksdale believes IN the Farmers Alliance
and the sub-Treasury idea. Mr.. George does
greement Is q flood of argument, so the peo
pie generally cannot fail to be enlightened
somewhat. The Alliance, naturally, is with
Mr.. Barksdale, and all its savailable force Is
ance is, Just now, as house divided against
itself. Frank Burkett, the Alliance Stnte
lecturer, insists upon the constitutionality OF
the sub-Treasury scheme, while w. L. Nc
Allister, who Is the assistant lecturer, says
the sub.Treasury idea is unconstitutional,
and furthermore is very emphatic in his dec
larations that the Alliance is not pledged
to the sub-Treasury scheme anyhow. There
seems to be o. general impression abroad in
the State that Senator George will have the
best of the argument. He is O fine constitu-
tional lawyer, trained in O good school, and
thoroughly capable Of expressing his views
ite?"
''That is too difficult to be hurriedly an
swered. We have a wealth of first-class ma
n flob
we had to go TO the West for our next nomi-
nee. Personally think It would be good
and proper thing to do. How would Nor
rison do? He is all we could look for. He
before there was any popular movement to
aid him. He is a man of the highest integ-
rity, his character being absolutely uninl-
peachable. I served with him in Congress
are many other splendid men whom might
name, but he is q shining example. We
could win with him."
