BRYAN'S LUCK TICKLES BUCK.
GE0RGIA'S REPUBLICAN BOSS IN
FOR A LIVELY CAMIAIGN.
He Already Shifts the Smell of the Fat
to BE Fried Out of the Republicans
of the North


to BE Fried Out of the Republicans
of the North.
Colonel A. E. Buck, the Mark
Hanna of republicanism in Georgia.
is preparing to let loose the dogs
OF war upon the democracy. Colonel
Buck claims to be chairman Of the re-
publican state committee, with the
right to appoint the other members Of
That body, and although Rev. A. X.
Love, of Savannah, also claims to he
the rightful chairman of the state com
mittee by virtue of the action of the
late convention, Col. Buck is proceed
mig to organize his party machinery
for the conflict. He has about com
pleted his list of committeeman, and
when seen by the Savannah News cor
respondent at his campaign headquar-
tiers said he would announce the full
committee.
There is more than usual signifi-
canoe in this move ON the political
chess board. Boss Buck and his fol-
lowers have not been cutting much of
a swath in the state politics OF late
years. This year, however, they pro-
pose to hold hand in the game and
put up good bluff too.
" When make the announcement of
of my committeeman, - said the dough-
ty colonel, ~ will at the same time
call for a meeting to be held here in
Atlanta"
what will this meeting be for?" he
continued, with very foxy smile on
his rugged OLD lace, "well, you should
wait and see."
Later the easy boss confessed that
the purpose of the meeting is to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of writing out a
state ticket and to launch the McKin-
ley campaignln Georgia. This meet
ing will be held during the latter part
of this month. The republican lead
ers have an ambition to make show
ing in Georgia this fall. They feel
contide that the sage of Canton will
make the trip to the white house and
then they look for their reward. Not
only is state ticket under favorable
consideration, but wherever the timber
can be had congressional candidates
will be put in the field against the dem
ocrats. 1t can be said now with al
most positive certainty that there will
be no fusion between the republicans
and populists in the state contests.
One of the main reasons for this is that
each of these political parties think it
is the dog and the other the tail, and
neither is willing to let the tail wag
the dog.
Col. Buck is in high feather over the
Chicago convention. Being a repub-
lican and the Vice Hanna of the Nc
Kinley boom in this state, it is only
natural that he should be as well pleas
ed as all the lesser Hannas and their
followers everywhere. He is so full of
the subject just just now that he is
liable to break out in a manifesto of
some sort or other in few days.
AS the the republican dictator of the
state, and the man who will direct the
fight against democracy this fall, Incl
dentally distributing the fat fried out
of the big monopolist manufacturers
for campaign purposes, it is determin-
ed to take this state by storm.
Col. Buck figures it that the popu-
lists will have their own ticket in the
field and that they will poll their own
strenth, which would be playing right
into the hands of his party.
