Atlanta, Ca, Aug. f0-Col. A. f. Buck
issued a call to-day for a meeting OF the
state republican committee In Atlanta on
Monday next to arrange for a state con-
vention.
When seen to-day Col. Buck said ths
meeting would be harmonious, and that
the faction, headed by Preacher Love oe
Savannah, would be resigned 10 It's action
Tho reason why meeting Of the oom-
mittee was not called at an earlier date
now appears to ba that the republicans
wanted to wait and see what the popuiisr
convention would do, There have been
rumors OF deal for fusion between the
popullsts and republicans. The former
agreeing to support the republican cam
didates for congress In return for republl-
can aid to the populist state ticket. Both
Col. Buck and several OF the populist
leaders. however, deny that there is any
truth in the report. To lend color to their
denials, II is given out as a certainty
that the republican convention will put
out statet lcket, headed by Col Tom
Johnson Of Savannah, for governor. The
republicans announce that they will wage
a vigorous campaign, and depend on par
ty republicans In Georgia fer success.
The populsts are also bestirring them-
selves. Chairman Cunningham has se-

debates between Gov. Atkinson and Sea-
born Wright are just now the issue that
Is being discussed, but neither the popu-
list leaders or Chairman Clay Will give
any information on the subject, 1t is
known, however, that some OF the most
prominent pOpuists are opposed to a
joint canvass, alleging that II would
arouse bitter feeling and do no good
Another amusing reason that they urge
with much earnestness is that Gov. At
kinson has made so many speeches i'm
Georgia that the people have lost interest
IN him and would not 60 out to hear the
Joint debates.
II Is not expectedthat Mr. Watson win
do much campaign work I'm Georgia. His
work Will be that Of a national nature
embracing the states where populistio
ideas and free silver have not attained
satisfactory growth.
Speaking Of the approaching campaign
to-day Chairman Clay said that the dem-
oefauc 1eaders would avoid as far as pos
sible any mud-singing or bitterness.
Seaborn Wrlghfs picturesque position ~
politics, however, will be aired for all ID

So far as the proposed dlspensary clause

slogan Of the democrats Will be that II II

When Mr.. Bryan began to speak, his
voice was husky and showed signs of

in a storm of applause.
Mr. Bland followed, and other speakers
discussed the issue of the campaign, but
the chief interest was over when Mr.. Bry-

Rubens, attorney Of the Cuban Junta, Is

ing a watch on the movements of promi-
nent Cubans.
From good authority it is learned that
arms and munitions of war have been com-
ing into the state for some time and be-

The general opinion is that these supplies
are to be carried to sea on a tug boat and

that the officials believe the expedition win
