DIR. c. W. Macune, ofthe National Eeouo-

Last year there occurred ip Georri. n sen,.
torial election. Govern II John b. Gordon
was The only pronounced candidate. His
election IVES generally conccdea,- unt,, rus,

{. w. Macune left Washington city and went
to Atlanta and induced major ty of the al;i-
auce members TO indorse Patrick Calhoun for
United States senator. \ great scandsl
grew out Of Macuno's presence in Atlanta in
connection with the Georgia contest, aud
when the National Alliance met at Ocala las t
December it felt constrained to investigate
the charges against Macunc. The f cts ad.

'Nicr the report was made and adorted
captain hurk'tt admitted TO two members
OF the Mississippi delegation that il was n
