TWO FACTIONS IN GEORGIA.
The Cleveland and the anti-Cleveland Men
Making Hard Fight.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 17.-Every promi-
nent Democratic politician in the state is
in the city tonight and the breach between
the two divisions of the party in the state
is growing wider and wider.
A few far-seeing politicians are on the
ground counseling moderation and COM
promise, but the warnings are unheeded in
the mad rush that is being made by the
Cleveland and anti-Cleveland men of the
central convention.
The result of the primaries held yester-
day and today is such as to give encour-
agement to the Cleveland men, but the
activity of the opponents more than coun-
terbalanced the result, and the Cleveland
faction tonight is fearful 1t might be out
generated by the astute generals of the
other side. Indeed, if the manifestations
are to be relied on, the Cleveland men will
today be compelled to change their pro-
grsmme and recede from the de-
mand for an instructed Cleveland dele
CATION. They claim they will elect
such an emphatic Cleveland delegation that
no instructions will be needed. The rival
meetings tonight are largely attended and
as about 100 delegates participated in the
proceedings of each no advantage could
be seen from numerical standpoint.
United States Senator Colquitt was the
principal speaker at the anti Cleveland
meeting, while Hon. H. F. Richards, editor
of the Atlanta Journal, addressed the
Cleveland meeting.

just come to light in this county by which
convict now doing time may soon regain
his liberty. Some months ago V. G. Har
rison, living at Lawrence, little village
near here, was arrested for assault upon
his own daughter, and on the testimony of
his daughter Lucy, aged 16, was convicted
and sentenced to ten years Imprisonment.
Grave doubts of his guilt were enter
tanned by many, and quiet movement has
since been on foot to thoroughly investi-
gate the matter The girl, on being re-
moved from the influence which surrounded
her during the trial, now confesses that
her testimony was false. She declares
that the whole affair was q conspiracy, in
which the sisters of her father were prime
movers, and that she was induced to give
her testimony at the trial by means of per-
sussicns and threats.

was has not yet been brought out, but
startling developments are promised. An

wife's consent not to contest an action for
divorce much scandal would be ayerted

course. Mr.. Deacon, the story adds, de-
clared that his wife's conduct was ex-
