Atlanta. Ca. July 1f.-Col. A. T. Buck,
the Hanna OF republcanism in Georgia,

though the date has not been nNed as
vet The republican leaders have an am
bition TO make a showing in Georgia This
fall. They feel confident that the sage
of Canton will make the trip 10 the White
house and then they look for their re-
ward. Not only Is a state ticket under
favorable consideration, but wherever the
timber can be had congressional
candidates will be put In the field against
the democrats. II can be SAID now Win
almost positive certainty that there VIII
be no fusion between the republicans ana
populists in the state contests. one OF
the main reasons for this Is that each or
these political parties think II Is the DOG
and the other the tail. and neither is will
ing 20 let the tail wag the dog.
Col. Buck is in high feather over the
Chicago convention. Being a republican
and the Vice Hanna of the Mckinley boom
in this state, IL is only natural that he
should be as well pleased as all the lesser
Hannas and their followers everywhere.
He is so full of the subject just now that
he is liable to break out in a manifesto
Of some sort or other in few days.
AS the republican dictator of the state
and the man who will direct the fight
against democracy this fall, incidentally
distributing the fat fried out Of the big
mOnopolist manufacturers for campaign
purposes II Il is determined TO take this
state by storm 1t Is interesting to know
how ne views his enemy. II VIII do you

] do not count that a democratic conven-
ton that was held in Chicago. We can't
fight you on that ground. II was a pop
ulistic and anarchistc It could not be a
democratic house that would allow such
people as Tillman and Altgeld to even
appear on the platform, much less run II.
"And to say nothing about the money
question" continued the easy boss fitting
back in his chair as he shifted the battle
from afar, for he is an old war horse in
real war as well as politics. that plat
form iustifies the firing on Fort Sumter.
It is revolutionary when IL says the fed
eral government shall not put down in
surrection In any state. am not Cleve-
land man, but let me tell you'that one act
of his in putting down the Chicago riots
was the greatest piece of history he has
made, and all true Americans honor him
for the character he showed when he took
that stand, and when you denounce your
own administration and your supreme
court. we'll you could not have done more
for US in this fight"
Col. Buck figures 1t that the populists
will have their own ticket in the field and
that they will poll all their own strength
which would be playing right into the
hands of his party.
