CLAY PROVES
THE CONOUERER.
Caucus Nominates Him on Hie
First Ballot Monday.
RECEIVED 91 VOTES, ONLY SEEDED 89
The Credit ior tiny Victory Attributed
to tlicjjisterly AlanaMement
of Mr. Mignon.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. IG.—After eix
(Jays of balloting, the democratic cau
cus of the general assembly nominated
Hon. Alexander" Stephens of
Cobb county for the office of United
4, Elutes this afternoon. The
nomination was made on the first
fiallot, wdncli was the thirty-first ballot
taken sinoe the beginning of the cau
cus. The last ballot stood :
A. S. Clay L
F. I’. Howell .‘i'J.
11. T. Lewis 21.
T. M.J Norwood 4.
Patrick Walsh 4.
L. F. Garrard 2.
Clement A. Evans 1.
Eighty-nine votes were necessary to
a choice, which shows that Mr. Clay
received more than enough to nomi
nate him.
Air. Clay's victory is the culmina
tion of one of the most remarkable
campaigns in the history of the state.
It is just three weeks since the cam
paign for the vacant place in the sen
ate caused by the untimely death of
Judge Crisp, began. When the mem
bers of the legislature came to Atlanta
not ono of them had instructions on
the senatorship or had entanglements
or alliances with any of the large field
of candidates that soon developed.
They were all absolutely untrimmuT
led, ho that the light was won and losl
strictly speaking upon the individual
merits of the contestants and their
immediate friends in the contest.
It was a fight wliieh invited the
most accomplished political maneuv
ering, and the laurel was won by the
master hand.
While Air. Clay is senator, the great
est honors of the campaign unques
tionably belong to lion. Fleming du-
Bignon. It was lie who trimmed the
sails of the Cobb county man’s craft,
and kept his hand upon the wheel.
Although Mr. Clay will wear the toga,
Mr. dußignon is installed by the vic
tory in the position of political
He will he at the head of a brand new
regime in Georgia politics. The fight
for the Senate was made in the face of
the men who have controlled during
the past few years, and the old regime,
at least for the time, has gone down.
There will he a breathing spell before
the new and the old forces cross lances
again. What may happen in this
space cannot be surmised, but if there
is anything in the words of the proph
ets of to-day, South Georgia will lead
the van when the next clash of arms
does come.
While Mr. Clay’s personal hold upon
the party machinery undoubtedly gave
him a strong prestige ia the race for
senator, and his unfailing energy and
personal popularity stood him in equal
ly good stead, yet his most enthusias
tic friends have never claimed that he
could win withaut the masterly hand
of Air. dußignon to guide his ship. In
making the light Air. dußignon did
not hesitate to measure lances at once
with Gov. Atkinson and his cohorts.
Figuratively speaking, it looked as if
tiie two chiefs would meet in hand-to
hand conflict. The first movo was a
breaking off between Air. Clay and
the governor. Air. Clay went to the
home of the governor and warned him
to stay out of the oontist. When the
governor rejected the advice, Air. Clay
left the mansion and immediately de
clared war. Under Mr. dußignon an
alliance was made with the Howell
forces, and a common light made
upon Governor Atkinson. He was
soon unhorsed and forced off the field
Then eair.e the real display of gen
eralship. Air. Howell who had en
couraged Air. Clay in the first stages
of the conflict, when the prospect was
anything but bright for him, thought
that I],' would prove an easy victim
<itb the governor out of the way, he
thought he would loom up like the

hung upon the peg to await a claimant
his friends pointed to him as the logic
al and inesistible candidate. But he
1 reckoned without Ins ..est. By the
j irony of fate the man . ho had been
| selected to help defeat the common
t enemy, suddenly developed into a
quantity of strength that had been
wholly unexpected. Mr. Howell, the
head and the heart of the anti-Atkin
son fight, who iiad used his good offi
ces to get Mr. Clay into the race for
the purpose of pulling chestnuts out
of the Ore for him, suddenly awoke to
the fact that the yovng man from
Cobh could not ohly pull thd chestnuts
out of the embers, but could keep
them as well.
Mr. Clay's nomination was the result
of the most unique train of circum
stances that ever surrounded a sena
torial candidate in this or any other
state. When lie went into the contest
he was by everyone regarded as the
weakest candidate in the field. But
ior Mr. Howell, whose main purpose
! was to break Mr. Atkinson down, lie
would probably have retired. Up to
the Saturday before the caucus met
on Monday, when Mr. dußignon be
gan his active work, Air. Clay did not
claim more than twenty-four votes.
When the caucus, on the first ballot,
gave him forty-eight, lie was probably
as much, if not more, surprised than
any other man interested in the con
test. MrWußigon had claimed fifty
vc'l-' (pf') 10 l * liJ C!IIK!US lnet > and
* je f°r A over 111311 had a good
roa.J jj, than that. From then on
theim a steady increase in the
Clay c'cWrmn, and as Mr. dußignon
gave out each gucce isive estimate his
claims were verified by the vote of
the caucus. He had his campaign
organized as no other man in the race
had attempted, and the correctness of
his claims as demonstrated now enti
tles him to the degree of past master
of the art. As Mr. Clay’s vote grew
his confidence in his nomination in
creased. He has claimed that he
would win since last Thursday. He
would have undoubtedly won on the
first ballot Friday hut for the unfor
seen introduction of the name of Mr.
Lewis, who had withdrawn. Since
that time it has been the field against
Mr. Clay. Mr. Howell and his friends
made every effort to get other candi
dates in for the purpose of deadlock
ing the caucus, and thus causing Mr,
Clay’s defeat, but available timber of
the silyer variety was so scarce in the
senatorial market that no one could
be found who could stem the tide. At
the eleventh hour to-day, Hon. Patrick
Walsh was brought in, and lion. T.
M. Norwood of Savannah, but neither
could attract enough strength to bring
about the desired result. But for Mr.
dußignon, who had South Georgia at
his back, Mr. Norwood might have
drawn heavily from Air. Clay, but his
entry was too late to win against the
organization that confronted him. Air.
Lewis was also brought into the field
again to-day against his expressed
wishes, but this also failed to stem the
tide toward Air. Clay.
