From an Atlanta Special.
The situation with regard to the Unit
ed States senatorial handicap remains
unchanged. The entries are Evan T.
Howell W. Y. Atkinson, Steve Clay, j.
", Robertson, H. T. Lewis. Fleming
duBignon's friends have also put him in
the race.
1T is the field against Atkinson" say
many who closely watch the situation,
and the statement has many elements of
truth. UnquestionablyI Howell, Clay
and Robertson and perhaps other
candidates are against Atkinson.
They have joint purpose to serve in
disposing of the governor, and if it
comes to the ballot test will no doubt,
as far as it lies in their power to do so,
combine their strength.
The real fight is between Howell and
Atkinson, but some Of the wise ones say
that on the other hand, there is deal
on foot by which Captain Howell will
rally his followers to the support of Mr..
Clay, and not make the race himself. In
the event of the election of Bryan, it is
said that Captain Howell expects some
thing more to his taste than the senator
& ship. But he is in the fight to the finish
q to defeat Governor Atkinson, and wheth-
4 er he is in the race or not, he will
& be the leader in the field at the head of
the anti-Atkinson forces.
One thing that has given rise to this
view OF the situation is the report that
there has been a complete break-Off be-
tween Nj. Clay and Governor Atkinson.
Last night Mr.. Clay went to the execu-
1--WE mansion and held long conference
B with the governor. 1t is understood
mat he went there for the purpose of
irving to persuade the governor not to
become candidate. He told the gov
