nesday, the question of voting on the SEN
atorial issue at the June primary was
brought up and reconsidered. 1t was Vot-
ga . tnaI mere should be no vote taken on

Representatives Maddox and Henry G.
Turner.
Gibson Record Mr.. Crisp made the open
ing speech of one hour and ten minutes, in
which time he made an able presentation
of his side of the case. Mr.. Smith follow
ed with speech of one hour and half,
xxriaf ah rla or-fDa and fnr-1aftal oil
quently and dramatically delivered. Mr..
Smiths speech was indeed convincing, he
scored point after point, and exposed the
fallacy of the free silver humbug. Indeed,
Mr.. Smith made decidedly the best argu-
ment, and 1t Is the Records belief, that
should Mr.. Smith continue his speeches
over Georgia, ere the tides of November,
the free silver argument will be a forgot
ten phantom, so far as democrats are con-
cerned.
Atlanta Journal: Free silver advocates
in the Fourth are as unsettled in their
congressional politics as they are in
Crisp's district, where a trio of the leaders
are stumping the district in personal OPP
position. Troup, for instance, is clamor
ing for recognition and Judge Longiey Is
nursing an ambition TO figure in federal
affairs; And there is Col. swanson Car
roll followers of the half-value dollar are
urging Hon. w. c. Adamson to come to
the front and Mr.. Adamson is not adverse
to the idea. This much can be said of Mr..
candidate or platform his party agrees up
on. All told it is going to be lively in
Mr., Moses district. And Mr.. Moses will
be in the thickest of the fight. There are
others.
A special from Cordele to the Macon
Telegraph says: 1.-THE secret calling of a
mass meeting in Taylor county for next
Wednesday to select congressional dele
gates has proved a sensation in the Third
district. Neither of the candidates has yet
..rHffn IN n
Messrs. Warren and Fort were to speak
in Taylor next week during the session of
the superior court, but 1t seems that Mr..
Lewis friends have arranged to take snap
judgment in Taylor by having the county
act even before the congressional com
mittee has called convention. Friends of
the other candidates and many voters who
have not yet decided how they will vote,
all roundly denounce this snap mass
meeting as a trick. Mr.. Lewis has not yet
made a speech in the district and refuses
to meet the other candidates. Taylor is a
populist county and has two votes. All
the other counties in the Third district
are democratic"
