Ond Districts for sound Money

News correspondent completed to-day a
thorough canvass Of all the towns and
Villages in the Eleventh congressional dis
trict. except Brunswick. and business men,
professional men and the farmers Of
prominehce in democratic faith, gave ex-
pressions OF their views or the money
question.
The political map OF the district shows
that Ware county has about five silver
democrats. The rest are strong sound
money advocates. The populists are a
mere handful, numbering less than forty
whites.
Pierce has a small sprinkling OF popu-
lists The democrats are Outspoken for
sound money and the administration.
Wayne is against silver.
There Is quite number Of populists. but
the county is democratic. The democrats
are all FOR sound money
Coffee is well saturated with the popu-
listic element. but the democrats are all
for sound money.
ApplinE furnished the populist candidate
for congress last year against Hon. Henry
O. Turner but that does not have to DO
with the political condition in the county.
The pOpulists have no strength and the
county has very few Of them. The dem
ocrats are against free silver, and are
Outspoken for sound money and the ad-
ministratiOn.
Camden IS democratic and every farmer
advocates sound money. There are no
free silver advocates there.
Clinch, with the exception OF the Dupont
district, which is dominated by the pop
ulists, presents a stonewall for sound
money and President Cleveland.
Charlton has only two or three silverites.
The county is almost a unit for sound
money.
Berrien is for sound money.

The county is democratic.
Lowndes, like Ware, has only three or
four silVerites and even they cannot swal-
low the l6 20 pill. The farmers. mechan-
les, merchants, manufacturers and profess
sional men are outspoken for sound money
and the administration.
Brooks county, the home of Judge Tur-
ner. has & free silver paper the Brooks
county News, but the county is overwhelm-
ingly in favor Of sound money.
Thus II is throughout the district, and,
the Second is like unto it."

vENABLE AND THE POLICE.
Decision of the Question of His Eli
gibfIfty POSTPONED

Atlanta. Ga, July I2.-The question OF
Police Commissioner W. H. Venable's le-
gal right to hold that Office and at the
same time remain president Of the state
Senate is still undecided. To-day was the
date set BY Judge Richard H. Clark for
hearing the case made by Capt. w II.
Brotherton, opposition member of the po-
lice board, 10 require Mr. Venable 10 show
his authority for holding his place on the
police commission. Judge John L. Hop
kins, Commission Nenable's attorney, was
not ready for the hearing, however, and
after a good deal of contention 1t was fin
ally postponed TO Aug. 2.
The section of the law under which the
case was brought before Judge Clark says
that the decision Of eligibility shall be
rendered in ten days from the commence
ment of proceedings and the Brotherton
side endeavored to have this enforcd, de-
manding that Mr.. Venable's right to sit
on the police board be passed upon at
once, but Judge Clark declared that he
would take the law into his own hands
and wait until Aug. 2. If Mr.. Venable
should be declared not entitled to a seat
in the board, the result would be an en-
tire reorganization of the police depart
ment, as the present force is merely hold
ing on under temporary action because OF
the deadlock in the board, which made it
impossible 10 agree when the election was
held
