Tlllt It ELL’S WITHDRAWAL.
A\ lint Some of the State Papcrn Say
of tile Situation.
Thomasville Times-Entorprlse; And so
Joe Terrell is out of the race for Governor.
That punctures Dumvoody's tire. Joe will
stand for Attorney General ‘‘hisself.’’
Thomasville Times-Enterprise: The
withdrawal of Joe Terrell from the race
for Governor leaves but one avowed can
didate, Col. Candler, in the field. But
there are others.
Albany Herald: The politicians have
been figuring anew since Terrell's card
appeared. Dußignon was an important
factor in the new calculation, but the Her
ald has it on reliable authority that his at
titude 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 it. Candler is, of course, in the race,
and very probably to stay. Just at this
stage of the game everything is In a cha
otic condition and it is doubtful if the wis
est among political prophets can tell how
the situation will linalij- resolve itself.
Albany Herald; Mr. dußignon has
many friends and admirerg in the state
who would lie glad to see him honored, and
the Herald is one of them; still we do not
believe that this year would be a good
time for him to run for Governor. He is
still young, and can afford to wait.
Atlanta Journal; If Mr. dußignon 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
rial nomination, open to Hon. Allen D.
Candler, he being the gentleman now most
prominently mentioned In this connection.
It is but reasonable to suppose that Col.
Candler will soon make known to the
people of Georgia his determination in
this matter.
Madison Madisonian: The Gubernato
rial race has about concentrated between
Candler. Terrell and dußignon. 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 backers 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 Candler's being the next
Governor. The press of the state is al
most a unit for him. Of late years that
has not been a very good omen.
'Waycross Herald: Terrell's withdrawal
from the Gubernatorial contest knocks the
'possum supper Into doll 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-
Btgnon of Savannah, who would make a
lively race and render the success of any
opposition extremely doubtful.
Brunswick Times: The result of Mr.
Terrell's withdrawal Is difficult to foretell.
The two other leading prospective candi
dates are Fleming G. dußignon and Allen
D. Candler. Of late, there has arisen a
well defined idea that Mr. dußignon 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. dußlgnon's in
tentions, those interested will have to
wait and see. Mr. Candler, however, is
still squarely in the race, and his friends
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 its only
available candidate. Is sad indeed. Ter
rell’s Retirement discredits the wisdom,
loudly extolled, of those prison commis.
sion appointments and makes it appear
that Gov. Atkinson’s fine spun diplomacy
was all in vain.

THOMASVILLE TOPICS.
Complicated Situation Result* From
the Election Tie.
Thomasville, Ga., Jan. 20.—At the recent
election for Mayor and councilmen in this
city, M. R. Elder and E. M. Mallette tied
for last place. This tie vole is puzzling
the city authorities, cs there lias been no
provision for such a contingency. The
complications are numerous and far
reaching, The charter says that there
shall be an annutfi election on the third
Tuesday in January, at which the Mayor
and eight aldermen shall be elected. The
City Council can also fill a vacancy caus
ed by death, resignation or disqualifica
tion. It will be seen that the following in
ferences can be drawn:
First, that the Council has no authority
to elect one of Its initial memliers.
Second, that as eight aldermen were not
elected, there has been no legal election
of Mayor and councilmen.
Third, that as the third Tuesday in
January is the legal day for holding the
and it has passed without an elec
tion, there can thus be no legal election
this year.
Fourth, that in this case the old Council
should hold over.
Fifth, that the holding over of the old
Council under such unique circumstances
might raise a question of the legality of
all its actions.

minutes at sea and 10 minutes in the Sa

EXAMINATION OF BANKS.
Government Examiners Not Allowed
to Make Private Investigations.
Washington, Jan. 20.—Charles Dawes,
Controller of the Currency, has issued
the fololwlng circular to all national bun's
examiners:
"It has come to my attention that it had
been the custom of some national bank ex
aminers to accept employment and com
pensation therefor for making examina
tions and reports of conditions of national
banks assigned them for regular examina
tion, which examination and reports are
for the use of the bank, and not for this
office.
"Notice Is hereby given that hereaf |e J
examiners will not be allowed to accept
employment from national banks in mak
ing examinations for private use of suca
banks."
Mr. Dawes said he had heard of no in'
stance of the abuse of the privilege on n™
part of examiners, but believed it
wrong in principle, and therefore not good
for the administration.
