COVINGTON, GA., MARCH 1 18911, ‘ ' GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATT Never perhaps in the history < f the state has thevo been to many names sugge -Led pi suitable men foi governor, as there,;,re al the present time. In fact, to use a hackneyed term, ‘ the woods are literally full of them.” Georgia is blessed with having a fine growth of gubernatorial and all the gentlemen who have Spoken of for governor, are men, and would do 'honor to. groat state if placed in the ex ecu tive chair. But they cannot all be -—this time. They wifi have to until their turn. There is ono thing certain the governorship. The farming —the bone and sinew of the try—are going to have much to •with the selection of the next ernor. There is now reully but one avov - ed candidate before tbe people. That is Hon. W. J. Northen, of Hancock county. He has been an announced candidate before tbe people lor the past eight or nine months. Mr. Northen is a good man, and would make a good governor ; but, so far, he has not developed any very great strength among the farming class of people for that position. Even in tbe Constitution’s canvass! of the etalo—which was not a good cri.be rion to judge of the choice of the people—he did not show up as much strength as was expected, as ho on¬ ly received 302 out ot a total of 1,300. President Livingston, of tiie State Farmers Alliance, has never boon announced as a candidate for Livingston in commotion with the gubernatorial race. But wo have always stated that, by virtue of the prominence given him by b s posi¬ tion as president of the State Al. liance, be was Certainly drifting in the direction oi the gubernatorial nom¬ ination ; and as ho was elected to the presidency of an organization as Btrong as the farmers alliance m GaV and that, too, without opposition, it certainly showed him to be very popular with ihu farmers, whom wo believed would control the next ciee tion, provided they savv proper to ex crcise their power in this matter. This has been the position of tho Star upon the gubernatorial question ever since Mr. Livingston Was elec¬ ted to the presidency of the Alliance, and we have no reason now to change our views' upon tho subject. We behove Mr. Livingston to be one oi tho ablest and strongest men belonging to the farmers alliance or¬ ganization in Georgia; and while wo do not believe tbe alliance poo plfi are going ’ to Uke.any official ac - ■ tion .. upon the , question to , who , aa (hey will support for governor, yet at the isnrne time, po man possesses their confidence and esteem to a higher degree tbap President Liv -.ingston. His elevation to the head of tbe order, without opposition wc , bold to be positive evidence of this No man has dons more for the mers of Georgia than Col. ton, and no man enjoys their dence to a greator degree than does to-day. For more than years he has devoted the best gios of his useful life to the develop¬ ment and up-building of the farm-, in S interests of tho slate. Take the people of his own neighborhood in Newton county—his home folks as it were—as a criteri. o of his in fluence for good among the farming class, and no man in - Georgia can show a better record for his good in* fluence among his people than Col. Livingston ; for thero is m. more intelligent, industrious, honest and ■* ' 3 -’ l -* m . T , pc^pfeiCoJie _ , Fount! * prosperous ’ id any. ’ r , section oi tho state, than ilje far. mers in the neighborhood of Mr, Livingston’s home, in Newton cour tv. And he is to day their unani* mous choice for governor. But the politicians of the state are generally opposed to Col. Liv« ingston tor governor. Yet, when the returns of the maries are consolidated, next mer, we helkvc that Col. will 0 e found to be the choice of people of Georgia f foi then chief ra.ig tr to, A Poor Negro. To point an argument the iet'-Journal revives u speech by Abraham Jasper to t lie picnic at Shantytown, in the Virginia,campaign : Fellow Freemen , said he. you know me; I ;,R> Abraham Jasper, republican from waj" back. there have teen any work to do, has done it; when there has any voting to do 1 has voted aud often ; when there has been fighting to do, I has been in thick of it; 1 are above proof, line and tax paid. And I ba3 many changes, too. I has seen ft ipubiicans up ; I has seen the ocrats up; hut 1 has yit to see negro up. T'other night I had dream ; L drernpt that I died went to Heaven, and when I at the pearly gates Sui nt Peter said, said he : ? he. ■ Who’s dar says Abram Jasper, says I.

Whar is you gwine, General? suys I. I’m gwine to Heaven, says ho.,. Why, General, says I, tain’t no' u-c ; l’se just been up dur, and no¬ body’ ’lowed in dur ’cept dcyTmiioV mounted, and you’s on foot. Is dat so ? says ho, - . _ Yes, hit is. v.

General William Mahone, of Vi . ginia, ,4ys ho. Is you mounted, or is you on foot ? says Saint Peter. I’so mounted.
