GOOD JUDGES FOR GEORGIA.
THE STATE CONVENTION WINDS UP
ITS WORK.

Andrew j. Cobb and VIM. II. Fish the
Candidates Put in Nomination Yes
terday-The Former Nominated on
the Eighth Ballot and the Latter
on the Tenth-A Hard, But Unsuc-
cessfuI Fight Made by Judge Co
ber's Friends.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 19.-After taking
five ballots to-day the supreme court
convention concluded its work and ad-
journed. The candidates nominated to-
day were Judge Andrew ]. Cobb of Clark
and Judge William H. Fish of Sumter
county.
Judge Cobb was chosen on the eighth
ballot, receiving 24 votes, while Judge
Gober, who was his competitor in the
field Of candidates from North Georgia,
received 1876 votes.
Judge Fish was nominated on the tenth
ballot, receiving 1873 votes against 149 for
Judge Gober The number necessary to
a choice was It's.
After the eighth ballot, when Judge
Cobb was nominated, all the other candi-
dates, except Judge Gober. Judge Bower
and Judge Fish were withdrawn. Judge
Hopkins was withdrawn by Mr.. Dorsey
of Fulton. Judge Branham was with
drawn by Mr.. Simmons of Gwinnett and
Mr.. Hawes of Decatur withdrew the name
of Judge Bower.
Judge Charles Adamson withdrew the
name of Judge Harris after the ninth
ballot.
When the convention opened at the
Moody tabernacle this morning, Chair
man Dessau presiding, with an old hatchet
in his hand for gavel, the conditions
were much the same as when it adjourn
ed last night. The fight was still between
Judge Cobb and Judge Gober, and after
Judge Cobb's nomination between Judge
Judge Gober and Judge Fish.
1t seemed to be generally understood
that the nomination of any one of the
North Georgia candidates should bring
about a withdrawal of the other candl-
date from that section, in order to give

one place to South Georgia, but Judge
Gober's friends refused to put him aside
until he was squarely defeated by Judge
Fish. They made a great show of cn-
thusiasm, and there was also a great deal
Of hurrahing for Judge Fish. When the
latter was declared nominated over Judge
Gober there was a wild scene of disorder
and enthusiastic confusion.
The one determined fight of the conven,
ton was that directed against Judge Co
ber There were more men whose great
object seemed to be to prevent his nom-
nation than there were those whose first
purpose was to bring about the nomina-
ton of any other man, except possibly Col.
W. A. Little, who was chosen on the first
ballot yesterday by very large vote.
Judge Gober's friends were loyal to him
to the last, however, and made great
fight. The opposition to him was largely
due to disapproval of his political meth
DDS and his reputation as politician,
coupled with the fear that his nomlna-
ton would invite opposition from an In
dependent or populist candidate, and
thereby bring on a spirited contest In the
regular election. 1t was known yester-
day that the populists had determined on
putting a man in the field in opposition

being to nominate Waiter III. Hill of Macon
or James X. Hines of Atlanta and 10 in

The impression seemed to be general that
Judge Gober would be weak before the
people, whether the antagonism TO him is
well founded or not.
The ticket nominated is, as rule, COM
mended by the people and the politicians.
IL IS regarded as a very strong one, all
of the candidates being men Of eminent
attainment In their profession and of un-
impeachable personal integrity. WIKI

will be any opposition either from an in
