BRANTLEY AND THE GOVERN
ORSHIP.

40 far there is no declared candidate
for governor from South Georgia excsp'
perhaps Col. Estill, of Savannah, who
has sigpifiod his willingness to accept
the nomination If rendered him by tue
convention" on gold platter. We
have no idea that Col. Estill Is in
earnest, aud do rot believe that he
seriously contemplstes entering con-
test which would mean more work thsn
the editor OF the News would probably
be willing TO put into the job. Mr..
Brantley now seems to be the logical
candidate aud the only one perhaps that
South Georgia can Put Ia the field with
reasonable hope of success.
We propose to state bri fly few Of
the reasons why we think Mr.. Brantley
would probably be nominated, premis
ing our remarks, however, with the
statement that we are not one OF Mr.,
Brantley's friends who has or will
advise or urge him to enter the contest
unl,ss forsoOth, there appears to be
more than q reason able chance for his
success. Some advantages, however,
In Mr.. Brantley's favor ale these: A
very large portion OF the leading poll
ticians of North Georgia, as also many
of the influential men who train with
the rank and file, have slgnified their
desire to see South Georgia man made
governor at the next election. Our
information 10 to the effect that those
who would have supported MIR. du
Bignon in the northern counties are,
80 far as we have learned, unit for
Brantley. Senator Clay, Judge Gober
and scores of others have stated thai
they will take the field for him II he
becomes candidate and it 10 necessary
TO do go. Mr.. du Bignon is Mr.
Brantley's friend, and the Herald does
not think tb ct II violates a confidence
when 1t states that next 10 being gov-
ernor himself, MIR. du Biguon would
prefer to see Will Brantley in the
executive chair,
II North Georgia is sincere in declar-
ing for South Georgia man, Mr..
Brantley can be elected. AS we have
already intimated, Brantley is the most
available and strongest man South
Georgia can put III the race, and so far
as the imaginary line which divides
South from Middle Georgia is concern
ed, we do not believe he would lose a
county or precinct on the gulf or
Atlantic side.
II there is any kicking against
Brantley for governor in South Georgia
it comes from his friends, number Of
whom think that the world would be
turning the wrong way in thirty days
should he give up bis seat in congress.
In nutshell then, it is Brantley for
governor from South Georgia, or it is
nobody, an6 it may Re nobody even If
we run B,sntley, Though tine tide seems
TO hsYe turned sll In our direction just
at this, the present time. now. Brant.
ley; with us, may be first choice; he is
also "Hobson's choioe"-hlm or moths
ing, We will not ssy that he is a
forlorn hope, but he is our only hops.
We will not state that he Is the dernier
resort, but By the lord Harry, he lie our
last chance. We may run him and we
may elect him, and we may run him
and we may lose him, and if we do it
will almost kill father. What are we
going to do about it?-Wsycross Her.
