The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-01-21

Albany Herald: The politicians have
been figuring anew since Terrells card
appeared. DuBignon was an important
factor in the new calculation, but the Her
aid has it on reliable authority that his at
utude in the matter is this: He will en-
ter the race for the Governorship in case
the financial question is not made an is
sue in the campaign, but in that event
he positively will not enter the race He
voted for Bryan in the recent Presidential
election, but he has not yet reconciled free
silver to his conscience and will not in
dorse 1t. Gambler is of course in the race,
and very probably to stay. Just at this
stage of the game everything is in a cha
otto condition and it is doubtful if the wis
est among political prophets can tel how
the situation will finally resolve itself
Albany Herald Mr.. duBignon has
many friends and admirers in the state
who would be glad to see him honored. and
the Herald is one of them; stil we do not
believe that this year would be a good
time for him 10 run for Governor. He is
still young, and can afford to wait.
Atlanta Journal: If Mr.. duBignon runs
for Governor the printers will strike for
lower case headletter du's.
Athens Banner: This would seem so
far to leave the field, for the Gubernato-
ID
Gambler he being the gentleman now most
prominently mentioned i'm this connection
II is but reasonable to suppose that Col
Gambler Will soon make known to the
people of Georgia his determination in
this matter
Madison Madisonian: The Gubernato-
rial race has about concentrated between
Gambler, Terrell and duBgnon. These are
three of Georgia's ablest statesmen and
we would hate to see either of them go
down in defeat in the Democratic ranks
Let them and their hackers come togeth-
er and arrange the race so as to have few
er candidates. The two younger men have
time enough yet to be Governors, and
Georgia cannot afford to have three of her
leaders in democracy in a wrangle for the
same Office
Lexington Echo: Really we do feel sort
of dubious about Gamblers being the next
Governor. The press of the state is all
most unit for him. OF late years that
has not been a very good omen.
Waycross Herald: TerrelPs withdrawal
from the Gubernatorial contest knocks the
'possum supper into doh rags.
Griffin Call: Terrell will scarcely have
any opposition for the Office he now holds,
but his Withdrawal from the gubernatorial
race may bring others to the front The
most formidable opponent TO Col. cand-
ler's candidacy will probably be Col. du-
Bignon of Savannah, who would make a
lively race and render the success of any
opposition extremely doubtful.
Brunswick Times The result of Mr..
Terrells withdrawal is difficult to foretell
The two other leading prospective candi-
dates are Fleming G.. duBgnon and Allen
d. Gambler. OF late, there has arisen a
well defined idea that Mr.. duBignon has
forsworn his Gubernatorial aspirations.
with an eye to the more coveted senatorial
toga. What effect the withdrawal of Mr..
Terrell will have on Mr.. duBignon's in
tentions, those interested will have 10
wait and see. Mr.. Gambler, however, is
still squarely in the race, and his friends
claim that he will now win, practically
without opposition. But this is a bit of
roseate prophecy that will scarcely stand
the test of proof The condition of the
Atkinson faction, thus bereft of it's only
available candidate, is SAD indeed. Ter
rells retirement discredits the wisdom.
loudly extolled, of those prison commits
sion appointments and makes IL appear
that Gov. Atkinson's fine spun diplomacy
was all in vain.
