he is entitled to whatever success or fall
ure attaches to the election of democratic
legislators in the october election. As Il
was reasonable to suppose that Mr.. Crisp
would triumph on June 6, fair inference
is that majority of the counties which
postponed the primary would be favorable
to Mr.. duBgnon. Certainly he would
have carried the South Georgia counties,
for even those that did not favor his
nhanclal views, would nave given him
their vote. Dougherty county is an exam
pie. Mr.. duBignOn should have no regrets
for the fight he has made. 1t has won for
him the respect OF those who admire cour-
age and conviction If there had been a
reasonable hope left that the national
convention would declare for sound mon
ey his vote would have been much larger
and his chances of election bright indeed.
1t has been a fOregOne conclusion for thir-
ty days that Georgia and the national
convention as we'll would declare for un-
limited silver coinage at 16 TO J. The ac-
ton of Kentucky, Illinois and other
doubtful states made the fight in this
have faltered in the face of certain de-
feat. Mr. duBignon did not. When the
story of the fight on the financial ques-
ton in this state is written, the gifted
young Savannahian will not be the one to
suffer
