A BBLUCTANT AD1MMMON.
The Dawson News of this reluctant
ly admits that Its candidate for Con
gress Is as good as defeated for the
Democratic nomination. In an artlole
on the situation, after all the counties
have aoted, the News says:
Mr. Stevens seems to have won the
nomination, but It Is the general opin
ion that enough of the contesting del
egates will be seated to give Mr. Rus
sell the nomination.

DEMOCRATS IN SIMMON.
At the State Demoeratlo convention
In Atlanta Wednesday, Hon. J. W. Wal
ters, of this city, was made Demo
cratic Presidential Elector for the
Second Congressional district, with
Hon. S. G. McLendon, of Thomas, as
alternate.
The selection of Hr. Walters Is a de
served compliment to one of the truest
and most brainy Democrats of the
State, and It Is safe to say that the
cause of Democracy will not be with
out an able advocate In the Second dis
trict in the present Presidential cam-
palgn.
Mr. Walters has already done some
very effective work for the organised
Democracy of the district in the
present remarkable and altogether
unprecedented Congressional oam
palgn. When the situation was most
serious and the supremacy of Demo
cratic party organization was danger
ously threatened, Mr. Walters went
into the thickest of the fight and
proudly carried the banner of Simon-
pure organized Democracy, His ear
nestness and eloquence did much to
rally the people around the banner
that he bore so triumphantly, and now
that he has been made the Presidential
Elector for this district, he will be
hoard from again whenever and wher
ever theoauseof true Democracy needs
an able and fearless advocate before
the people of the district.

POLITICAL AND OTHERWISE.
Tom Watson came out Wednesday
with one of his usual political har
angues, before a crowd of his followers
who were assembled to hear him speak
at his home at Thomson. Tom told
about all he had done for them during
his past eight months stewardship In
the halls of Congress, and before he
had finished his gilt-edged falsehoods
and wonderful promises had the
orowd all his way. He stated that he
had proved his oharges of drunken
ness against members of the House,
and, of course, his pnrmdtes believed
him. But there are still some sensible
people in the Tenth, and, we believe,
enough of them with the power to vote
to put down this blaokguard who at
tempts to win fame through slander
ing others.
It is rumored that Messrs. W. A. Poe,
John Y, Lowe and Bob Johnson will
be the Third Party candidates for tho
Legislature from Bibb. Mr. Poe is a
lawyer, and Messrs. Lowe and John
son are farmers. The Third Party In
Bibb county is said to be the strongest
In the Warrior distriol, though there
Is quite a sprinkling in the East Ma
con distrlot.
The State Democratic Convention
met In Atlanta yesterday In the ball
of the House of Representatives.
Everything moved along smoothly
and harmoniously, and where there
was no contest for the oflloe, the offi
cers were nominated by acclamation.
The convention was opened by
Chairman Atklnson’s'speeob, who an
nounced the purpose of the convention,
and made a strong appeal In favor of
Democratic harmony throughout the
State.
After Mr. Atkinson had finished his
speech, Temporary Chairman Stovall
took the ohalr amid loud cheering and
prolonged applause. The eloquence of
this able and loyal Democrat was
cheered time and again during Ills
speech. After one or two more short
speeches the convention proceeded to
business.
All candidates, except those in the
race for Attorney General, were nom
inated by acclamation, Hon. W. J.
Northen being nominated for Gov
ernor by Judge F. L. Little, of Han-
cook, in a bright speeoh, which was a
glowing tribute to Gqvernor Northen’s
administration.
Hon. Joe Terrell’was successful-over
his opponent, Hon. W. C. Glenn, how
ever, in the race for Attorney General,
and Col. R. T. Nesbitt was nominated
for Commissioner of Agriculture.
The full tloket as nominated Is as
follows:
FOR GOVERNOR,
Hon. William J. Northen.
The Albany^ fellows seem to be on top
) occupy as important
a position In party oounolls as the
minis' *' - ‘ * ‘
ster to Dahomey. Rather hard
on the rest of we fellows, but what is
Is.
The Kolb men In Alabama are charg
ing the other side with fraud in re
gard to the election returns. The vote
of several districts, which gave Kolb
majorities, have been thrown out be-
ORiiso they were not accompanied by
the proper election certificates. The
Kolb men claim that certificates were
with the boxes when turned over to
the authorities, and that they have
been tampered with since. Kolb, in
fact, claims that he is elected, and
bases his claim on these grounds.
This will protnbly bring about a con
test.
Great indignation is belngexpressed
on all sides in Memphis on account of
Gov. Buchanan's action in commuting
the sentence of Col. II. Clay King, the
murderer of David II. l’osten, to life
imprisonment. Public sentiment is
strong in condemnation of the mur
derer, and, while the Governor’s notion
did not oreate much surprise, it was
desired by a large number of citizens
that the law be allowed to take its
course. Petitions asking for executive
clemency were signed by fully 20,000
persons, while counter petitions
against King were signed by fully as
many people. The press is strong in
its denunciation of the Governor’s ac
tion. The prominence of the criminal
undoubtedly led the Governor to take
the course he did.
Ex-Third Party leader C. C. Post
has gone to Michigan to take an active
part in the People’s Party campaign
there. Post once posed as the leader
of the party in Georgia, but now that
there are several other Riohmonds in
the field, he has taken somewhat of a
back seat, and is endeavoring to estab
lish himself in other fields.

The convention has made good se
lections in Its nominations. All of
the nominees are good stanch Demo
crats, and everything portends well
for a rousing Democratic majority
when the elections come off.
Tom Watson will have his hands
full looking after his own fences In
this campaign, and will not have much
time to waste fighting Crisp in the
Third.
Tom Watson, in his opening speeoh,
leaves no room to doubt the fact that
he has purposely pulled himself away
from the Democratic party, and that
he relies as muoh upon the Negro vote
as the Third. Pnrty of his district for a
re-election to Congress. There is now
but one more step between him and
full fellowship in the Republican
pnrty.
