POLITICS IN GLYNN.
Conjecture as to Who Will Get the
Eleventh District Honor.

| Conjecture as to Who Will Get the
! Eleventh District Honor.
BRUNSWICK, GA, Aug. 27.-Politicians
and citizens Of Brunswick generally are dis.
cussing the probabilities OF certain gentle
men Of the new Eleventh district securing
the congressional honor. Among the
names mentioned are Hon. Fl. q. Turner,
! the congressman. whom the rev district
| will inherit; Judge Spencer R. Atkinson
| and Hon. W. G. Brantley, the judge and
/ solicitor general respectively OF the Bruins
/ wick circuit.
From expressions obtained by the NEWS
| correspondent it is evidelt that Brunswick
ians expect now that Mr.. Turner will stick
at least for one term longer. as they think
it would be bad policy for Brunswick TO put
a candidate in the field at once. presuming
that such a move would create discord
among the outside voters and delay Bruins
wick in securing the congressman. The
supporters Of Mr.. Turner claim that
HE WOULD GO THROUGH EASILY
if nominated. where others would have a
hard pull. On the other hand, it is said
that the farmers alliance will put forth
candidate of their own and defeat Mr..
Turner or any other democrat. II this is
done, Judge Atkinson or Solicitor Brantley
will be put forth by Glypn.
The race between these two for the nomi-
nation would be close and interesting. Both
have numbers of friends in Glynn aud the
counties Immediately adjacent. Judge
Atkinson has many relations who are noted
for sticking to one another
In the Brunswick Circuit Solicitor Brant-
| ley has many followers. and his former
residence III Pierce county resulted in his
adding scores Of friends TO list that has
always been long.
Messrs. Brantley and Atkinson are nom
i AL
waiting to learn definitely what Mr.. Turner
| will do.
WILL BRANTLEY BE CANDIDATEl
In the Gordon Norwood deadlock in 1888
Mr.. Brantley was suggested as a compro-
mise nominee, but declined positively to al
low his name to be used. During a recent
interview with the News representative he
expressed himself in sue q manner that the
inference was drawn that it was his belief
that no candidate could be nominated with
out the support of the farmers alliance, and
during another conversation he spoke as if
Mr. Turner would receive his support
should that gentleman desire & again enter
the race.
THE NEW CIRCUIT.
The petition Of the lawyers in the upper
portion of the Bruins wick circuit for a new
circuit, which is now pending before the
legislature, will probably meet with some
opposition from Glynn. now that the new
district has been arranged. The reason for
this is that the citizens here will want to
keep in touch with the people of
that locality in order to secure
their cooperation when the race is on. If
the new circuit is arranged, Brunswick will
be cut off from good slice, and for that
reason many here will oppose it who form
erly favored the movement.
ANOTHER MOVEMENT
that will be watched with interest is the
sale Of the Brunswick Times, which occurs
on Sept. s. Who will be the new owners
and what candidate the paper will support
are interesting questions. 1t is not known
yet whether the Atkinson supporters will
| try TO buy it. but it is pretty well under
stood that Editor McCook will retain
the management when it changes hands.
