Thk Progress. A new name is being whispered about with in the last few days in connection with the senatorial race-- that of John C. Hart, former at torney general cf Georgia. Says an Atlanta dispatch. As yet it is only a whisper, hut odd to say the mention of his name comes as often from the Smith fac tion as the followers of Governor Brown. In fact, it is said that a strong Smith man was the first to suggest the name of Judge Hart. He set up that no man in Georgia would prove more satisfactory as a compromise candidate in the event of a deadlock in the legislature. This man further stated that Geor gia would have a senator of strength, iignity and power if Judge Hart should ho named, and he felt sure his selection would meet with the general approval of the people respective of their alignment in state politics. There can he no doubt but that the situation is nnioh“up in the air” yet. Senator Terrell is growing stronger and better constantly, but while his mental faculties are as clear and lucid as ever, his physical con dition is not the best. The paralysis in his limb is slow in passing away. He believes, however, that he will he well enough to return to Wash ington for the extra session on April 4, and asserts positively his inten tion to continue in the race. governor Smith’s attitude is still one to puzzle. Rumors of various kinds are afloat about him, hut he is saying nothing at all himself to clear the atmosphere. Recently a well known man and one connected with a powerful brgahizatiorfflad a long talk with Governor-elect Smith regarding the senatorship, Governor Hoke Smith told him frankly that he was not seeking the senatorship, so it is reported, did not, in fact, want it, but in the event there appealed an overwhelm ing sentiment for his selection in the legislature, he felt he could not ignore such an imperative call. It may he safely said that if this is his attitude that Murphy Candler will not he a candidate for the place. Many seem to think now that the extra session of Congress has remov- ed'Congressman W,G. Brantley from the list of possible entries. It is that he will be engaged so closely in Washington that he will not have time or opportunity to press his candidacy and will therefore, not offer. No such expression lias come from Mr. Brantly, so the matter is given merely as a part of the cur ent gossip in this connection. There is a good deal of talk of one kind and other regrading the senatorship among the delegates here to the Commercial Congress But everybody seems in doubt about the situation and have no fixed notions about it. They want to see the cards all on the table before they play.
