Georgia Vote Which shows the Strength
or the Senator In That State.

OF tEc senator StAte.
ATLANTA. March 27.-David B. Hill starts off
in the race for control of the Georgia State
Democratic Convention. capturing the dele
gates Of Polk. the first county to act. At noon
yesterday over four hundred farmers were in
the Court House in Cedartown. A long dis
cussion ensued upon the condition Of the
farming interests. the depression OF labor In
forests. and the proper remedies therefor. 1t
was conceded without discussion that Grover
Cleveland was SO hedged about by certain in
huences that it would be vain to look to
him for even consideration of their
grievances His specal! friends are the men
whom tho Farmers Alliances are formed to
fight In David b. Hill they recognize a
statesman OF broad mind who had not pre-
judged their cause. and from whom they could
get ardent sympathy II not relief Among the
delegates elected to the Atlanta Convention Of
May IL was the county President of the
Farmers Alliance. the editor of the local news
paper. and the Mayor OF Cedartown.
The Importance Of the result in Polk county
aside from It being the first county to act Is
that it is fairly indicative Of the rural feeling
in Georgia. There will be $50 delegates in tho
Georgia Convention. OF these about forty
come from the big centres. leaving the over
whelming majority to the country. 1t Is said
OF these that the Polk county delegates are a
type OF the large cities. Hill is certain to carry
Atlanta, Savannah. Augusta. and Rome
Macon is, doubtful and Columbus will go to
Cleveland.
