TO sPEAK IN cLINCH TO-DAY.
Mr.. duBignon's Meeting With Judge
Crisp for Saturday Called on.

Hon. +. G. duBignon leaves this morn
ing for bonneville. Clinch county, where
he will address the citizens OF that sec
tion to-day. CIinch Is a solid sound money
county, and the citizens OF bonneville
and the surrounding country have formed
duBignOn Club. which Mr- duBignon
has been invited 10 address. He Will re-
turn TO Savannah in the morning.
Mr.. duBlgnon the5ght OF going TO Dali
ton to speak on Thursday and had an
appointment to meet Judge Crisp and d.
vide time with ham at Eatonton Satur-
day He has received a telegram from
Judge Crisp, however, canceliing the ap-
pointment at Eatonton. The telegram is
as follows:
Atlanta, Ca, April l3-F. G. duBignon,
Savannah, Ca: Under advice of physician
have been forced TO cancel date at Eaton
ton. VIII with pleasure divide time with
you later Charles i. Crisp.
This practically decided Mr.. du Bignon
not 10 go to Dalton, as he Understands
from the telegram cancelling the date for
April is that everything else between now
and that date Is also cancelled. IL would
have been a rather difficult matter for
him to get from Clinch county to Dalton
in due season, but he said he would have
gone In case Judge Crisp had decided 60
speak there.
Both Mr. duBignon and Mr. Crisp have
received invitations from Chairman, I.
j. CARING OF the executive committee
OF BibD county 10 speak in Macon. Both
have accepted the invitation, and it is
probable the meeting will take place some
time about the middle of next week, pro-
vded Mr. Crisp's condition will admit of
his speaking at that time.
The debates between Mr. duBignon and
Mr.. Crisp will probably cover the latter
part of April, and practically all of May.
Inc dates and places have not yet been
arranged. Mr.. duBgnon Will probably
write to Mr.. Crisp, naming several places
at which he desires to debate, and will
ask Mr.. Crisp to do the same thing. In
case they cannot reach an agreement on
this basis, 1t is likely the matter viii then
be submitted to three friends Of each of
the speakers for a conference between
them for the purpose OF arranging the
Many Of the counties in the state will
not act on the senatorial question, nor
Will they touch the matter of representa-
tives to the general assembly at the pri-
mary of June 6. Such counties, many
of which have already expressed their
intention in the matter, will simply elect
delegates to the state convention at that
primary, and postpone action on the other
matters until after the action Of the ma
tional convention. In case the state con-
yention adopts a free silver plank, and
the national convention a sound money
plank, as it is expected to do, some of
the candidates, II they are selected before
the national convention meets, would be
put IN the ridiculous position of denounc-
ing the national party TO which they say
they belong.
The LawrencevilIe News of Gwinnett
county, in the northern part of the state,
pays Mr. duBignon a very high editorial
compliment. as follows:
The Hon. Fleming G.. duBignon Of Sa-
vannah has announced himself a candi-
date for the Senate to succeed Gen. Cor
don. Elem. duI3ignon is one Of the ableSt
and most eloquent men in Georgia and is
regarded by many people as the greatest
OF our democratic stump speakers He has
rendered the party valuable and distin-
guished services ana there is no man in
Georgia who has more personal friends.
He Will have influential and Jealous sup
porters in every county in the state
where there is not local candidate, and
ii goes without saying that he will be a
big factor in the senatorial fight He will
Invite Judge Crisp 10 a joint canvass of
the state, and If his invitation Is accepted
the free silver heresy will be knocked
into FRAGILE before it is half over
