THERE seems to be little or no doubt
now that Judge Griggs will win the con-
gressional nomination. He is growing
stronger every day. His earnest, log
ical and ightforward arguments for
silver appeal to the unbiased, honest
reasoning of the people and are having
telling effect. He will get nearly all
of the silver vote, as we'll as the votes OF
a great many sound money people in
the district, who recognize his ability
and worth as man and a democrat.
The cambridge Democrat, Judge
Bowers home paper, says he is neither
for the free coinage of silver as repre-
sented by Judge Griggs nor the single
gold standard as represented by Cap
taiE Hammond. This makes the ami
able Judge, as has been contended by
THE NEWS, a straddlebug, and there is
no room for straddlebugs this year.
The second district has had enough Of
them.
THEY are going to have some legis-
lative politics oyer in Randolph county
after all. Senator Jim Bussey has en-
tered the arena and will try conclu-
sions with Captain Bill Dews for the
honor of going to the state house. They
are both good men, and could be en-
gagged in better business than toma-
hawking each other for a seat in the
Georgia legislature.
CAPTAIN HAMMOND gives us to under
stand that the fight has been whipped
in the second, and that he will not I'M
dertake to change matters by becom-
ing a candidate for congress. The
Thomasville man is the pOssessOr of
considerable political accumen, and was
too shrewd to be placed in front of the
cyclone by few oYer-zealous single
standard folks,
THE Atlanta Journal will please OBJ
serve that Terrell county has not re-
scinded the call for a senatorial pri-
mary. The fact is, Terrell has no idea
of resembling, and will not rescind.
This good county will declare for
for Charles F. Crisp on June 9th in no
tones.
SENATOR MERCER announces that he
will be candidate for delegate to the
Chicago convention. If Jess will re-
nounce his goldbug foolishness and
promise to behave in the future, we
will use our influence with the silver
people to have him sent up.
THE Macon Telegraph persists in the
opinion that Judge Bower has the
race practically won" in this district.
That esteemed paper will soon know
what it doesn't know about second
district politics.
The managers Of his campaign say
Mckinley has it, but talk of Harrison
has been revived, and the Ohio man
would do well to keep his weather eye
most carefully peeled.
SOMETHING must be wrong with the
Spanish press agency in Cuba. Go.
mez hasn't been killed or hasn't had a
leg cut off in three or four days.
CONGRESS is getting ready to adjourn
on the 18th. This is a move in the righ
direction, and one that should hav,
been made some time ago.
CHAIRMAN STEVE CLAWS home cOun
ty did not follow him on the late SEN
atorial primary. Cobb will hold it OF
July 25th.
OUR friend Howard is making hi

DEMOCRATS must quit branding eacl
other as political grand rascals.
I STAYED Out on His Own Account.
