LIVINGSTON ON THE STUMP.
He Says BrannOn Has no Congress
siOnaI Timber in Him.

Atlanta, Ca, June 2.-To-night the free
silverltes made their last showing at the
rally of the ward clubs which was ad-
dressed by Congressman Lon Livingston.
Col. Livingston had challenged Hon.
Charley Brannon, his opponent, for joint
debate meeting tonight, but Mr.. Bran
non had previous engagement, he said,
and could not accept. Col. Livingston
took this as an occasion for trying to poke
fun at his competitor. He told the crowd,
which, however, was largely a Brannon
one, as was evidenced by the tenor of the
applause, that Mr. Brannon had no con
gressional timber in him, and would not
have if he We're to live a thousand years
right in the shadow of the national capi-
toll And l can't see why you people
should vote for such man." he said, ''un-
less it is because you want to humiliate
me-"
Col. Livingston's speech on the cur
rency question was cribbed almost yer.
batum from the address made by Mr.
Bailey of Texas before the silver club
ten days ago Col Livingston was pres
ent at that meeting and tonight made
good use of what he heard the Texan
say. His cribbing was quickly recognized
by the crowd, and there was a good deal
of fun at the Fifth district congressman's
expense. What time Col. Livingston did
not devote to delivering Mr. Bailey's
speech, he spent in raising a calamity
howl. Bets are about even that Brannon
will carry Fulton county over Livingsto on
on Saturday.

Atlanta. Ca, June Gov. Atkinson

The reward would have been larger if
