Atlanta cor. Macon Telegraph.
Hon. Fleming duBignOn of Savannah
arrived Ia Atlanta from New York to-
day. While here duBiguon took occa-
sion to deny the recent alleged interview
With him on the political situation in
Georgia. He says he did not give out
the interview-that il was very probably
obtained at second hand through gentle
neD with whom he discussed politics in
general in New York the other day, at
the Marlborough hotel.
Mr.. duBignon, however, says he will
formally announce his candidacy tor
tile United States senate when the prop-
er time arrives. He qualified this re-
mark, however, with high compliment
to Senator Colquitt, saying that the sena-
tor is now fast regaining his bodily
strength and viii undoubtedly be 4 hard
man to defeat.
Senator Colquitt and he are now and
have al ways been personal and political
friends, Mr.. duBign0n says. Mr.. duBig-
non friends in this part of the state

ties Of his senatorial candidacy. and as

candidate.
The fact # the matter is all the en-
b1yonic senat rial candidates are NOR
tally afraid of Senator Colquitt. One
more term would be more than likely to
satisfy Senator Colquitt, but should any
one Of those spoken Of to succeed him be
successful, the ambition Of the defeated
ones would have t. wait a good time long

SHREWD BARNEY BIGLlN.
1t was Politics For Him Not to Know Ex-
Judge Dittenhoefer.

JUDGE DittenhoeAeEs
Most of the stories worth printing
about the famous Chicago convention OF
1880 have been published, but here is one
that seems to be new: Ex-Judge Often
hoefer was in Chicago working against
Grant and a third term. Bernard Big
lin was there in the interest OF Grant.
Both were old personal friends. The
night before the balloting began Bi9lln
and two others were appointed com
mittee to look after several southern
delegations, among them being the Ken
lucky delegation.
When Biglin and his associates ar
rived at the Kentucky headquarters, they
found that Dittenhoefer had got ahea'i
of them He had the floor and was de-
livering a strong speech against Grant,
saying, among other things. that Grant
could not carry New York. Biglin saw
that Dittenhoefer's remarks were having
great weight, and he realized that he
was no match for him as talker. What
to do to break the force of Dittenhoefer' S
speech was the problem that confronted
Blglin. This was the method he Sc
lected. In the nsdst of Dittenhoefer's
per0ration Biglin called out in loud
voice, "Who is that man"
"Why, he is ex-Judge Dittenhoefer Of
New York, said a member of the Ken
lucky delegation.
ooh, no; that's not Judge Dittenhoe-
fer" said Biglin. II know Judge Often
hoefer well. This man may pretend to
be Ditteuhoefer to strangers, but he
knows better than to try to work any
such racket with New Workers. I tell
you he's a fraud"
Bigliu's remarks made a sensation.
Suspicious chances were cast at Often
hoefer by members Of the Kentucky del
egation The former got red in the face
and walked up to Biglin. Barney" he
said. holding out his hand, that's a
pretty good joke Of yours, not to know
me"
"Joke," shouted Biglin in contempt.
It's no Joke, can tell you. [ will just
oct you 800 that you are not Judge Dit
tenhoefer of New York" BiSEn -four
ished $40 bill in Dittenhoe1ers face.
Of course he had to accept the chal-
lenge The money was put up in the
hands Of q member Of the delegation.
Dittenhoefer hurried away to get some
one to identify him. When he returned,
Biglin had disappeared, likewise the
stakeholder. After the convention Dit
tenhoefer met Biglin in the hotel corri-
dor. "What did you mean," he said,
''by saying you did not know me that
night at the Kentucky headquarters"
''What did you mean," said Biglin,
''by saying that Grant could not carry
New York"
THAT was politics" answered Often
hoefer.
"Wen," said Biglin, lit was politics
my not knowing you"
Dittenhoefer and Biglin are still
friends.-New York Press.
