who feel interested In his success.
News from Muscogee is exceptionally

The issue is clearly drawn and two sets Of
tickets for delegates are IN the field. It
is stated by one Of Columbus most prom
inent citizens that there Is but little doubt
that the sound money ticket VIII be cleo

Efforts VIII be made 10 postpone action

democratic executive committee has call
ed a meeting of that committee for Satur-
day, May 3, for the purpose of pOstpon-
August or September a sound money

Judge Lawson met Col. Howard in joint
debate at Hartwel Tuesday There were
over 500 people present and a correspon-
dent writes that majority of them were
heart and souP' with the Judge In his
financial views. Hart county will send
Lawson delegates, and IL begins to look
like Howard viii find himself defeated

Col Reagin, who is the present member
of the legislature and in close touch with
the political sentiment in Henry, says the
county Will unquestionably be for sound
money The feeling is changing rapidly

Macon Telegraph: It is a certainty that
the Chicago convention cannot adopt a
platform which will declare for both the
free and unlimited and Independent COIN
age of silver at a ratio of 10 to l, with
gold and for sound money. If both sill
Yer men and sound money men declare in
advance that they will bolt unless they
tiers by holding two conventions at once?
1t would do as much harm one time as
another.

Charles Evans, Russellville; DR.. j. II.
Maddox, Culloden, J. r. Harrison, Bur
gays. The above gentlemen favor the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and gold
and the unit rule.
Washington Chronicle: Hoke Smith is
a man of great ability. Gen. Gordon is
an orator, and so was Henry
Grady. Mr.. duBignon is man of ability
and an orator. In fact, oratory of the
very first class requires ability. We do
not believe Georgia has any man now who
can keep up the traditions of her great
sons In the national forum as will Mr. du-
Bignon. We ought to have some expert
eneed judgment on this subject We have
not only heard Mr. Crisp speak a number
of times, and Henry Turner, but we have
heard most of the greatest speakers of
the past fifty years, beginning with Daniel
Webster and Henry Clay, and coming
down through Georgia's great sons
Toombs, Stephens and Hill. Mr. duBig-
non Is not only the best man we can send
to take a seat they once filed, the high
reputation of the state will suffer no de-
terloration in his hands. He is a fine
looking man with clear, sonorous voice.
His English is idomatic and racy, and he
is polished orator, without any of that
extreme and refined finish, which would
remove him from sympathy with popu-
lar audience. He is dignitied and indepen-
dent, without a particle of self-assertion
or anectation of any kind.
