ltcttor General aud Congress.
Brunswick, Ga, March 13.-Since the re-
cent meeting of the state executive COM
mittee politics has been talked very gem
orally in Glynn county. The call for only
one convention has not met with much
favor. neither has Mr.. Crisp's suggestion
as to the voting for senator's at the prima-
ries. The one convention idea will be
fought against from this section and an
effort viii be made to have another order
ca when the convention meets in Macon.
Glynn county is for sound money by a
large majority and the men spoken of as
ner probable representatives will in all
probability vote for a sound money can
dldate Tor the senatorship. Those named
as material from which the legislature
eanqldate Will be selected are Messrs. f.
Brobsten; +. e. Twitty, A. ]. Crovatt,
owen Johnson and j. L. Beach. None of
these, however, has openly stated his in
tention of running Mr.. Brobston is an out
and out free silver man. The probable
candidate for the Senate from this dis
trtct is. II. T. Dunwoody and no serious
opposition has developed to him His
friends think he has North Georgia's sup
port for the presidency of the Senate and
Will more than divide South Georgia with

In the contest for the sorcitorship of the

candidates seeking grand jury indorse-
ments MesSrs. John w. Bennett of

b. Mabry of Glynn. Mr.. Mabry is an
ex-solicitor general of this circuit Mr..
Ioomer as stenographer of this circuit
mas also some warm friends. Mr.. Ben
nett has made several trips to Brunswick
on this and other business. An entireIv
impartial review of the claims made b,
the candidates and their friends, both in
| Glynn and other portions of the judicial
circuit, makes 1t appear that Mr.. Bennett
claims at present are based upon the best
sTounos. Inc politicians here, as between
Mr.. Toomer and Mr.. Bennett, are in favor
or the former as a majority
CamdenS grand jury convenes next in
this circuit and all the candidates will
be on hand. Applings jury voted 20

Personally there is no feeling against
Mr.. Burch of any kind that is apD3rent
| but considered in the light of a candidate
| for congress, he is placed in a different
| position. The vast majority of those who
| agree with the Silverites. whose banner
| he is carrying, will vote for Mr. Turner
| as they do not regard Mr. Bureh as thf
! right man for congress. Some of Geor-
! gia's representatives in congress who in
| dorse and have spoken on the free silver
\ idea, are industriously circulating their
| speeches in Glynn county, and a mass of
| free silver literature is finding its way
| through the mails this way. 1t is evident
| that some hard work is being done tc
| change the sentiment of Glynn's voters
and the local press is squarely divided or
| the money question. So far all efforts 10

! The arriving here yesterday of Hon
| Fleming G. duBignon was the occasion
| of a gathering of his friends and admir-.
ers at the Oglethorpe last night, and his
popularity was freely attested by the rep
| resentative men who called to nav their
| respects. His visit has no especial polit-
| ical significance, as he is accompanied nv
| his family, and left to-day for Jeckvl
with them. He promises to address the
| voters of Glynn at an early date and ne
viii receive cordial welcome.
