PRINGLE FOR THE SENATE.
DAvIsBoRD, GA, May 6-Upon what
appears to be good authority, it is believed
that Hon. G. R. Pringle of Washington will
be urged to enter the race for senator from
this tine Twentieth district.O comprising
the counties Of Washington, Baldwin and
Hancock.
Mr.. Pringle is one OF the best known
men in the state, having in the past served
Senate of Georgia.
He was president pro tenn. Of the Senate
in 1866-'S7 "a great portion of which time he
presided over that body, proving himself to
be presiding officer of fine tact and ability.
Should he become a candidate, as is init
mated by his friends, and secure the electi IN,
it is believed he would at once become
candidate for president OF the next Senate,
which his friends affirm would be in easy
reach. This is the way many democrats In
this and other counties are talking, but / do
noe know whether he would run or not.
'aUsCoGEE'S CLOSE VOTE.
COLUMBUS, GA. May 6-Muscogee sends
an uninstructed delegation to the Atlanta
convention, two Of whom are against
New York man, three and half prefer
Hill to Cleveland and the other half Is for
Cleveland as against Hill. The highest
man on the Cleveland ticket, Capt. n. G.
Oattis, tied the lowest man on the Hill
ticket and the executive committee decided
TO divide the vote rather than order another
+, election. The race was the closest ever run
10 the county and everybody is contented
with the result.
THE FEELING IN THOMAS.
TOWNSVILLE, GA, May 6.-While our
people are interested in politics, they are
not so excited as the newspapers might gen.
orally indicate. The voters OF Thomasyille
recognize that the whole matter of politics
in this county is in the hands Of the alli-
ance. They have about settled down to the
conviction that things are safe with such
men as control the Thomas county alliance,
and having been reconciled to the loss of
the offices, they are satisfied with the situa-
ton and politically happy.
