through your columns, in behalf of
thanks for tb* kindness qnd lordly
manner in which which we were treat-
ed by the good people of Urfffln,
while there atttending the Horticul¬
ture! Convention, On the morning
of July 80th about twsnty of the
leading horticulturists and agricul¬
turists end, by the way, among the
beet men in In Thomas county, *h»
writer excepted, boarded the train at
Thomasville at 0:15 and pulled out
for Griffin. Our delegation consisted
of the big-hearted good fellows of
Thomas county, and of course made
the run np to Griffin very pleasant.
We pulled up to tbe depot at Griffin
at 0:10 that evening, where we were
met by a committee of gentlemen-I
mean in tbe full acceptation of the
term—who took charge ol us and
with the committee walked up to Col.
Hammond’e office, where carriages
and buggies were in waiting to con¬
vey us to our homes for the few day*
we would be in Griffin. The writer
and the cleverestof clever men, W. B.
Hamilton, wore as sign o r! to the very
pleasant home of one of Griffin’s clev¬
erest men, W. H. Spence. He and
his good lady did everything in their
power to make us feel pleasant and
homelike. We will long cherish
the memory of snch dear friends
and wish the time to come when we
can, if possible, return the like kind¬
ness. We were surprised that men
from the wire-grass, as tlfedelegation
from Thomas was, should receive
such lordly treatment and would not
have been prepared to appreciate and
understand it, hut for the tact that
ws were from Thomasville, the Lon.
don of America. Griffin totte biggest
town in the world except Thomas-
viile, and has the largest hearted
and cleverest people. Take for in¬
stance Col. Ed. Hammond—few such
men in America—a man with all the
wit and humor possible to get in om
man’s head; with a heart and soul as
big as Horace Greely ever had, in
tact we find in Col. Hammond all that
a man could want for Georgia’s next
Governor. The ladies perhaps might
wish Ed to be a little better looking,
but that is all right. Should Gener¬
al Gordon take Joe Brown’s place in
tbe Senate I am for Col. Hammond
and will work to secure his nomina¬
tion for Governor of Georgia. Beet
easy Colonel, I will attend to that in
the regular routine of business, Ac
I and my friend Judge Williams, of
Upson, and a half dozen other friends
were invited to take a walk with Cot.
Hammond to his reception room,
where with that politeness and digni¬
ty characteristic of the Colonel, he
said he had there in cold storage ev
erything calculated to appease the
hunger or allay the thirst of the most
fastidious. We found it so and en¬
joyed the treat to the full extent of
our capacity. But not only Col.
Hammond, Griffin is full of noble
men. Capt. Flynt with a heart and
soul full of generosity, in his address
of welcome to the delegates, after
throwing wide the doors of the hos¬
pitable homes be said he would to
God Griffin had a Chinese nrall around
her with heavy gates that he might
turn over the keys lip to the delegates.
Long will there a warm place in
tbe heart of each delegate for Griffin
and her clever people.
While everything was as good and
as pleasant as it could be, we fear
by the convention being held in Grif¬
fin, the chances are that Thomas¬
ville will lose one of her “Million
Airs,” Thomas E, Blackshear, as we
left him at Griffin. Wsshould regret
verpmuch to lose Mr. Blackshear,
but our loss would be Griffin’s gain;
and we are certain if Bart Hambleton
had been a single man he would nev¬
er have been a citizen of Thomas
county any more, and we would not
b6 surprised if he begs Mrs. Hamble-
ton and the children to go with him
to Griffin anyway. I heard him
promise to be in Griffin the 15th
this month.
Long may Griffin live and flourish
and raise lots ol peaches and grapes.

Mr. duBignon will go before the

DRAWING CONCLUSIONS.
I only recall tte incident to show
what dangers menace such a follow¬
ing as that of Major Bacon, and I
don’t think I cast a reflection or
strike wide of the mark in saying
that the support of duBignon to simi¬
lar.
But, say Mr. duBignon’s friends,
We admit that this is true and it is
ust the reason why we are going to
nominate our man. The element
that nominated Gordon will be di¬
vided in this campaign between Nor¬
then and Livingston and the outside
contingent will be solid for duBig*
non.”
There might be sosse logic in this if
Senator Brownshould resign or un¬
fortunately die daring the present
session of tte legislature. If snch
were to happen Gov. Gordon would
go to the United States Senate and
Mr. duBignon would, by virtue of be¬
ing president of the State Senate, be¬
come
ACTING GOVERNOR
until an election to fill the vacancy
could be ordered by the Legislature.
On the time honored principle that
possession to nine-tenths of the law,
he might then go before tte people
and be elected.
Bat friends who are in the confi¬
dence of Senator Brown say that he
will not resign, and it is also gratify¬
ing to note that bis health is much
improved.
LIVINGSTON HAS A RECORD.
Now as to Livingston’s splitting
Mr. Northen’s support, that is
claimed to be all visionary.
Col. Livingston is president of the
Farmers’ Alliance, and a man of fine
judgment aad good bnsines qualifi¬
cations. He is popular with the
fanners and can make a fine speech,
but if he stays in the race there will
be some record reading of tbe most
interesting type.
One of the prominent leaders of tte
State, who has been regarded as gu¬
bernatorial quantity himself, is re¬
ported as saying recently that if Col.
Livingston entered the race for gov¬
ernor, he would take the stamp
against him and show tte people of
the state who he is.
This to why I started out by saying
that gubernatorial politics will be
stormy if there is a triangular race,

Only twenty miles from Atlanta,
situated directly on the Georgia

make it especially attractive.

Me**™. Livingston. Norths.., and
Augusta Chronicle.
Atlanta, Ga., August 6.—There is
a good deal of speculation just now
as to who will be the next governor
of Georgia.
There are only three candidates in
the fleld, and tbs general opinion to
that there will be only three.
None of these three will admit yet
that they will be found la the ring
when the fight begins. - - s - v ; W.
These three gentlemen are Hon.
J. Norfchen, Bon. F. J. duBignon,
and Col. L. Uvingston. Rumor has
it that Mr. Henry W. Grady has an
eye on the place, but his closest
friends say not, -V “
Be this as it may, however, the
question is, whfasb one of fete candi¬
dates will remainthe ring till the
finish?
Tte friends of Mr. Northen say that
h* will enter the me* to win, and wffl.
win over all opponents, be who
they may. The friends of Mr. duBig¬
non think that it will be no trouble
for him to “get there,” no matter
who opposes, and then there is the
other contingent who say “just keep
your eye on Livingston.”
If it is to be a triangular race, gu¬
bernatorial polities is destined to be
as hot as it was during the Bacon-
Gordon campaign.
A NEW PHASE.
But a prominent member of the
legislature the other day put a new
phase on the situation by intimating
that tte well-known gubernatorial
war horse, Hon. A. 0. Bacon, was
still true to his first love, and would
go in on a compromise, without be¬
ing a candidate.
This, however, can hardly be the
case, when it is considered that a
number of candidates in the State are
still filling np their offices with Gor¬
don candidates, on treasured memo¬
ries of the last campaingn.
The bitterness engendered then has
partaken of the intensity that char¬
acterizes war sentiments and vil
live for a long time. This leaves Maj
Bacon practically‘out of the race al¬
together, and places the eyes of the
State on the gentlemen first- named
It m true that tte election is along
ways off yet, bat gossip about it has
already began, and tte drift of opin¬
ion on tte subject here may not be
devoid of interest to tbe readers of
the Chronicle.
As stated in the outset, all three
of the aspirants have firm and
Staunch supporters.
NORTHEN HA8 THE LEAD
But Mr. Northen seems to have the
lead and ibis is why:
He is firmly allied with the agricul¬
tural element. He is not only presi¬
dent of tte Georgia Agricultural So¬
ciety, which is one of tbe most power¬
ful agents for political promotion in
the State, but he is also closely iden¬
tified with tbe Farmers’Alliance. He
would poll the solid strength of the
first named orga nization and share
that of the alliance with any oppo¬
nent. He is not only a man of fin
ished education and fine business
qualifications, but one of distinguish
ed native ability. Combined with all
these Btrong points his record is spot¬
less. His long service in both
branches of the legislature and his
authorship of numerous reforms
have placed him prominently before
all classes. When it comes to stamp
speaking he hasn’t a superior in all
the State. It is the work of but a
few minutes to store away a crowd
of hearers in his inside pocket, and
the operation doesn’t cost him the
sacrifice of a particle of dignity, or a
single shady anecdote
His individuality affixes a direct
impression through sheer force of
respect and reason. On listening to
him one intuitively realizes a sense of
his leadership.
He is not snch a man as sportsmen
or man of the world would call a jolly
good fellow, but such a one as he
would select as his administrator or
guardian of his children.
DUBIGNON’S DISADVANTAGES.
Mr. duBignon is at this diaadvan-
t*3»:
He will entertte race comparative¬
ly .unknown to the masses. His fol¬
lowing is like that of Maj. Bacon-
made up principally of professional
men and the dwellers ia towns and
cities. He has made a fine record for
a man of his age, but the scene of his
labors has been confined to the ex¬
treme southern portion of tbe State.
He is a man of wonderful magnetism
and superior ability. His leadership
is acknowledged among all classes,
and like Mr. Northen he ran move
and sway s crowd at will. An audi¬
ence never listened to him bntto be
carried away with his eloquence and
silenced by his forcible logic. There
is not a thing
life subject to apsw.
But at this*

Attempted Suicide.
Yesterday about 12 o’clock it was
reported on the streets that Ab
Stephenson had cut his throat. An
investigation showed up the follow¬
ing: Ab had made an attempt to
take his life with a very dull posket
knife, at the five cent bar. He was
lying on the bed in the back roQja
and had been laughing and talking
in a somewhat wild and rambling
manner, and kept it up for sometime
when he called out to another young
man who was present that he was
going, good bye, and immediately
went to work on his throat. The
knife was so dull that be only suc¬
ceeded in making a few ugly scratches
and is a very little the worse for the
attempt. His friends were notified
and he was removed to his mother’s
residence and the wounds dressed.
He was no doubt suffering from tem¬
porary aberation. His incoherent
talk after the attempt made this,
plain to all who saw him. He is a
young man about 20 years of age.
