ably enter for the legislature III Telfair.
Hon. +. r. Mann, an ex-repres entative,
is as yet the only avowed candidate.
Judge John McRae Of Telfair is cand-
date for the state Senate In the Fifteenth
district He is opposed by Hon. John A.
Wooten of Spring Hill, the silver candl-

Augusta Herald: DuBignon has an
nounced distinctly that he will not run for
the Senate on a platform which the ma
tional convention repudiates. VIII Judge
Crisp say as much?
The Adalrsville Banner is of the opinion
that if the gold standard men of that dis
trict put a congressional candidate into
the field. Judge John w. Aiken would be
their strongest man.
A large number of democrats are greatly
displeased over the action of the county
executive committees in ordering a vote
on the United States senatorship in June,
instead of waiting till october.
DR.. w. C. Kendrick, former represen-
tative in the legislature from Webster
county, and subsequently from Terrell,
has announced himself "a candidate for
legislative honors again. He viii be OPP
posed by DR.. w. B. Cheatham OF Dawson.

list camp, is trying to work up a republico-
populistic fusion down in the Eleventh
district which combine he hopes will de-
feat Hon. H. G. Turner and land himself
in congress.
1t is very probable that Crisp's district
will have a sound money candidate for
congress. A correspondent from Cochran
writes: "Dr. Y. H. Morgan of this place,
who has ably represented Pulaski county
in the legislature several terms, Is being
urged by people from every county IN this
district TO make the race for congress.
DR.. Morgan is sound money man out
and out, and If he decides to make the
race the three free silver candidates may

Rome Tribune: Hon. Fleming G. du-
Bignon will address the people of Floyd
county some time between now and June
6. A petition asking him to come was cir
culated Wednesday, and received many
signatures Mr.. duBignon has signified
his Willingness to accept and there is little
or no doubt about fixing an early date.
| He is one of Georgias most brilliant and
spective of their views on the financial
| question, win be pleased to have the OPP
| portnity of hearing him. He stands in
| the front rank of the advocates of sound
| money and makes a splendid speech He
| possesses a magnetic personality and Is a

Macon Telegraph: There would not be
! time enough between now and June 6 to
mention in detail all the reasons which
| should lead 10 a refusal on the part of the
county democratic executive committees
| to force an expression of opinion by the
party on the United States senatorship on
| that day In addition to those already Civ
! en- in the Telegraph going to prove the un-
| wisdom of such action attention is caned
| to another potent objection. OF the 175
| members of the lower house of the Georgia
| legislature elected in 1894, about ninety, or
| little more than one-half. came from
| counties which on basis of the vote on
| the state ticket two years ago may be as
| sumed to be safely democratic. Thirty-one
| were from counties in which the demo-
| cratic margin is perllously close under
| present conditions and may be wiped out
| unless the utmost wisdom and conservat-
| ism is displayed. Fifty-four members rep
| resent counties which gave populist ma
| jorities for governor in the last election.
