Congressman Tom Watson and Col. ]. C.
c. Black are Baptists.
Hon. O. B. Stevens of Dawson, candidate
for congress in the Second district, has been
invited to speak In Albany.
Hon. Dupont Query of Bibb has been
suggested as a delegate at large to the demo-
cratic national convention.
There seems to be great desire in the
state for Judge Clifford Anderson to be
Georgia's next attorney general.
Butts county Is said to be nearly evenly
divided in its congressional preferences for
Bartlett, Berner, Cabaniss and Whitfield.
johnson county has elected delegates to
the congressional convention for the Flew
enth district with instructions TO vote for
Henry g. Turner.
Hon. J. A. Sibley OF Cobb county, who
was prominent member OF the last legisla-
ture, may be the third party candidate for
congress from the Seventh district.
There is some third party sentiment in the
upper part OF the Sixth district. Perhaps
this feeling is stronger In Epson and Fayette
than in any other counties Of this district.
There will be meeting of the executive
committee Of the Peoples party of Marion
county on May % to arrange time and
plan OF electing delegates to the district
convention.
Several candidates for the Senate in Cam
den county are developing. 1t is not likely
that Mr.. Proctor, who has received the ALI
ance Endorsement in Camden. will be with
out strong opposition.
Hon. s. P. Gilbert, for four years mem
Der Of the legislature from Muscogee
county. will be candidate before the next
general assembly for the office Of solicitor
general Of the Chattahoochee circuit.
Politics will certainly be lively In the
Fourth this year. Col Moses will not only
have opposition in Meriwether, in the per-
son of Warner HILL but Troup comes ND
with her claims and brings out the name of
Col. B. q. Swanson as the next representa-
tive at Washington. The colonel has de-
cided TO make the race, aud already he has
assurances that are very encouraging from
different parts Of the district.
Buena Vista Patriot: Last Saturday was
the day set apart by the executive commit
tee for the election of delegates to the con-
vention at Atlanta on May Is, which will
elect delegates to the national convention
at Chicago. There was but little interest
taken in the election, and the polls we're not
opened at any precinct except BuenA Vista,
with very light vote here. There were
only Is votes polled here, but out of that
number the Cleveland delegates received SO
and the Hill delegates 16. nearly 4 to l.
The withdrawal OF Hon. Seaborn Wright
from the congressional race In the seventh
district was at first thought to have mar
rowed the contest down, in the democratic
ranks, to Hon. r. w. Everett the present
representative. and Judge John W. Maddox.
But it now appears that there is another
eager statesmen who wants to write M. c.
after his name, Hon. "Gusn Fite of Car
tersville. Mr.. Fite Is a fine lawyer and has
had some experience in framing laws. The
indications are that there will be very
pretty three cornered fight for the demo-
cratic nomination. 1t is said that ex-State
Representative Jones of Barlow county
has the congressional fever and is seeking
treatment at the hands of the Peoples party
doctors. Mr.. Jones Is pretty we'll fixed in
this worlds gear and is accounted first
class hand when 1t comes to making the
hallelujah lick. Then there is Hon. Joseph
Blanoe OF Cedartown, who must not be
counted out before the Peoples party meets
in convention.
