One column of six battalions with artil-

LIVINGSTON TALKS OF POLITICS.
He Predicts n Dark Horse VIII Car
ry on the Senatorship.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Representative
Lon Livingston predicts that the sena-
torial deadlock In Georgia will result m
the bowling over of all the candidates now
in the race, and the prize will probably
so to a dark house.
Col. Livingston made tour of the de-
partments to-day, looking after some par
don and pension cases, In which his con-
stituents are interested. In conversation
with the Morning News correspondent, he
stated that the contest over the senator
ship has developed personal antagonisms
which may prevent the election of either
Chairman Clay Editor Howell or Gov.
Atkinson. The friends of Gov. Atkinson
urged him to curb his senatorial ambi-
TONS but the prize is so tempting that
he insisted upon pursuing 1t. The gov
ernor believes that now is the accepted
time for him to go to the Senate and he
cannot be blamed for entering the race.
Should Gov. Atkinson be elected, Col.
Livingston says he has no fear of the
populists carrying the state at a special
election. In his judgment, there is no
Justlhcation in such plea, The real
trouble would be the expense attending
another state election.
Referring to the result of the Presiden-
tial election, Col. Livingston says the
IllImans and the Altgelds. together with
the attack upon the supreme court in the
chicago platform, defeated Mr.. BRYAN.
lie says it would have been better for the
cause of Mr.. Bryan and free silver If
Illlman and Altgeld could have been kept
out OF the campaign. Their speeches did
not win single vote for Mr.. BRYAN.

TALK of Berner Heard During the
Day-Lewis May Re-enter the
Race.
Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 12.-The crisis in the
senatorial fight appears to have been
reached. Tonight both Mr.. Howell and
Mr. Clay declare that to-morrow's caucus
,riu nominate. The result of the caucus
This afternoon is generally regarded as
having eliminated Gov. Atkinson from
tbe contest, so far as his personal can
a,aacv is concerned. He was expected to
show increased strength to-day, on ac-
oount of the withdrawal of Hon. Hal
7 ou,is hut instead he lost votes, while
Oressrs. Howell and Clay forged away
ahead of him. At one time Mr.. Clay came
within fifteen of a nomination. His friends
tonight claim that he has gained ten new
racruits and base their predictions of
domination tomorrow upon this. 1t is
believed. however, that Gov. Atkinson will
hold his forty-eight votes together to-
morrow. if he wants to, and thus prevent
a nomination one more day. He and his
supporters will meet just before the eau
Gus and determine upon their line of
action. They held a meeting of this kind
lust before the caucus to-day, and 1t is
said that but for it Mr.. Clay would have
received enough votes to have nominated
him this afternoon.
This afternoon Gov. Atkinson, Capt
Howell and Mr.. Clay met together in a
corner of the Kimball house lobby and
talked earnestly for a while. What they
discussed is a secret with themselves. 1t
may have significance and it may not
have meant anything at all.
Some Of the governors friends advise
that he hold his forces in line until Mon
dav anyhow, as after the mass meetings
Saturday he will be in better position to
know lust what to do. AS matters now
stand he is regarded as out of the race
with his only chance in the possibility
that Saturdays mass meetings and the
return of the members to their homes
Sunday might help him.
Tonight there has been great deal OF
talk of President Berner of the Senate as
the legatee of the Atkinsons following. II
is said he will be sprung as a dark horse
and that he will get seventy votes to start

stftutional barrier in the way of his elec'

noon in the presence of the Empress,
Grand Duke vladimir OF Russia, who

TURNER MAY WEAR THE ERMrNr

Judgeship.

Washington, Nov 2.-Representative
Henry G. Turner of Georgia is mentioned
as the possible successor of the late Judge
Richardson for the vacancy in the United
States court of claims. Secretary Her
bert and Postmaster General Wilson are
also mentioned for the same position. but
the point is made that Judge Turner is
by FAR the ablest lawyer among the pos
sibilities thus far named. 1t is well
known that the President regards Judge
Turner very highly personally and pro-
fessionally, and the latters appointment
will meet with general approval in admin
istrative circles. Mr.. Cleveland's inten-
tions in the premises are not known. He
never responds to the activity of those
desiring judicial appointment for them
selves or for others, and hence no mis-
sionary work in anybody's behalf seems
to be in progress.
