GEORGIA POLITICS.

Simpson Booker and Charles A. Alexan-
der have been mentioned for the legislature
in Wilkes county.
Fort Valley Leader: Houston county's
third party seems to have withered since
the grand democratic rally in Perry two
weeks ago. Houston Is certainly a demo-
cratic county.
A big mass meeting and convention of the
democracy will be held at Ringgold Satur-
day. Hon. w. Y. Atkinson, Judge j. w.
Madden, T. Warren Aiken and several
other distinguished statesmen have accepted
invitations to be present and address the
meeting.
Mr.. Pickett don't think the third party
ought to take up Col VIM aud nominate
him as their standard-bearer in the Ninth,
He is OF the opinion that other clay should be
used, and it Is plain that Mr. Pickett would
not object 10 being nodded into a third
party congressional nominee himself.
DouglAsville Ne,O South: From reports
from all over Douglas county comes the
cheering news that the third party ranks
are getting beautifully less. The ran OF
the Headers Of that party on April Is
has done moro harm to their cause than
anything else. II a few more such blunders
are made there will be no third party in ex-
istence-except that part that walks under
Billie Bsggetts hat, and will have a sickly
smile.
Douglasville Ne,c South: Prospective
candidates for the legislature are getting
numerous, especially on the third party
side. The most prominently spoken of on
that ticket are: DR.. Burnett OF Fair Play,
J. M. Brown Of Chapel Hill. president
OF the county alliance; w. A. Beggett, Sr,
secretary of the county alliance; l.. T.
Dorsett, a prominent young attorney of
this place. The woods seem to be full of
,ks4sz.
81 per day. As yet the democrats seem to
be moving slowly and cautiously, but when
they do get down to work they will sweep
Douglas like a Cyclone.
Reidsvllle Journal: The Journal has
been boycotted by the Cedar Creek alliance,
owing 60 its attacks on Mr.. Gilmore, and
publication Of the Rev. Milton Brewton's
foolish letter, Both are Methodist preach
ers. behold, how pleasant it is for broth
rem to dwell together in unity" Three
Methodist preachers have left us, and one
writes that our circulation might be $50.
The steam power press is at work on Thurs
days, he might guess better on that day if
present. The Journal has more than
doubled its circulation in five months, and
is marching through good old Tattnall I'M
der the democratic flag.
Beginning IN May the democracy OF
Georgia will hold series Of the grandest
rallies ever held in the state. These rallies
will be held under the auspices of the
young mems democratic league and
the democratic state executive COM
mittee. They will occur In every section Of
the state, aud especially in the strongest
sections for the third party. Tom Wetson's
district will be special object of assault.
Senator Daniel w. Voorhees, OF Indiana,
Senator Zebulon B. Vance OF North Caro-
lima, Senator John w. Daniel Of Virginia,
Senator Vest of Missouri and many other
speakers Of national reputation will address
the rallies. Besides these distinguished ora
tors fine galaxy OF native born Georgia
orators will address the people.
Dawson NeWS: Last Friday J. B. Daniel
OF Atlanta arrived IN Dawson. His fame as
third partyite had preceded him, and his
coming caused much interest. Mr., Daniel
openly advocated third party doctrine, and
his business here was to form a third party.
lie met with no encouragement during his
several days stay, and left without accom-
plishing anything. While here he held
conference with Hon. o. B. Stevens and ems
deavored to induce him to declare for the
new party. Mr.. Stevens stood firm. He
told Daniel that he always had been a demo-
crat, that be entered the congressional race
as democrat and that he would close it as
such. MIR. Stevens further stated to him
that the body who recommended him for
congress was composed of democrats, aud
that be submitted his claims to the Demo-
cratic party. Before leaving Mr.. Daniel
stated that he met with no encouragement
In Dawson, but expressed the determination
to return later and try it again.
Chairman Hobbs of the democratic
executive committee of the Second district
has caused storm OF criticism by calling
| the congressional executive com,
mistee together again For this
| action lac has been savagely at
tackled by the Cuthbert LIBERAL Enterprise
and other papers in the district. In a letter
dstsnding himself from these attacks, Chair.
