GEORGIA POLUIOS.
Lawrenceville Herald: Gov. Northen is
for Gordon against the fleid. Col Everett,
alliauce candidate for congress from the
Seventh district, is for Gordon against the
fleid.
The Mitchell county alliance does not in
any way recognize C. 8. Matters;in as an
alliance candidate, and positively will not
indorse him or countenance his candidacy,
The alliance is heartily in favor of Mr. Tur
ner’s re-election, and while they have not
officially indorsed nim they want it under
stood that he, and not Mr. Matterson is
their choice.
Maoon Evening Hews: Thursday night a
well known member of tne alliance was
seen at the Hotel Lanier and he proved
quite talkative, but insisted that what he
said was not for publication, or rather he
did not oare to have his name connected
with the rumors. Said he: “There is a
strong current in favor of concentrating the
alliance vote on the senatorial race, and it
would not surprise me if the lucky man was
not Col. V) . J. Northen. The alliauce can
unite on him and there will be no doubt of
his election. Should this occur. Col. Peek
would be the next governor.” Two promi
nent aUiaucemen, from an entirely different
part of the state made almost identically
the same prediction. Putting the three
conversations together, there seems to be
more significance oonneoted with it than
one would at first suppose.

The stock market to-day was a continuation
of the depression of the past two days. Out
Sugar Refineries took a secondary position in
the market, although it still led in tho amount
of business done. The bear attack was directed
principally against Union Pacific, on the
strength of the lat* report of the disagreement
between that road and Granger roads with
whicu it connects, and the pressure to sell the
stock was so heavy that its price was forced off
to the lowest figure known for it in years. Ou
the tueory tnat any dissension in the west mast
result in damage to ail the roads in that section.
Granger stocks were sold with great freedom
especially 8. Paul, which was second in extent
of the decline. Trading, especially la the latter
portion of the last hour, was enormous, but the
covering of short contracts put out yesterday
and to-day in the leading stocks forced a ma
terial recovery from the lasest price*, whteh
were from I®4s4 per cent, lower than last
: night Dnces. T e p uing of the market, uu
| d-r . oosiderable pres-ure, was weak at a de
cline from last night s figures of from 54 "854 per
oent. generally, with exceptional loss-s of 54
percent, in C., C., C. and St Louis ani 154
Sugar Refineries. The temper of the room was
bean-h. nowever, on account of the disposition
of arbitrage dealers to sell Izm on favorite*
and the general expectation of an unfavorable
bank statement. The last, however, was a
genuine surprise, in that it showed a small in
crease In the surplus reserve instead of the loss
expected, and contributed not a little to the
final rally. Tbe bears got imm -diets y to work
in western slocks, and shortly after 11 o’clock
Union Pacific was down to 4554 and St. Paul to
5614. both being lower than for year*. Covering
the 1 began, an i Reading asaumed very large
proportions, while a recovery in everything
traded In was shar >, most stocks regaining
nearly all tne early loss. Chicago Gas, Rock
Island, Atchison, Norta American, Nortaern
Pacific preferred aDd Louisville and Nashville
were ail prominent- for their wide fluctuations,
but only the first named showed any loss for
the day. Sugar Refineries was active, and
while it was forced off 65 against 6714 tost even
ing, it met with good support, and closed with a
net loss of only 54 ptr cent. Final dealings
showed considerable strength all througn tne
list, and the close was active and strong at the
improvement. The list is all lower, but losses,
except In Union Pacific, which is 2*4 lower, aud
St. Paul 154. and Chicago Gas 154. are for frac
tional amounts only. Silver Certificates were
again extremely weak, but recovered with the
stock 104 at the close, which, however. Is a loss
of 154. The saies of listed stocks were 181,000
shares and 61.000 unlisted shares.

The .Sun’s cotton review says: "Futures
opeued at I®2 points decline, closing steady at
1 point advance on October, unchanged for No
vember, and 2®3 points decline 00 other months
from yesterday s closing prloes. The bulls had
a fresh disappointment to-day. Alittle reaction
toward better prices, of which they were very
confident last evening, did not materialize.
Liverpool did not maintain values as well as was
expected. Big crop estimates began to be ac
cepted, and nothing but the timidity of the
bears, who notice the very large consumption
that is in progress, saved the market from col
lapse. The weather was good at the south, and
after a brief drying spell, frosts may be defied.
Spot cotton was l-10c lower an 1 dull.”
