The News snys Campbell count}'
will support Gordon for governor.
The Marietta Journal declares (or
Gordon, but ojrens its columns free to
the Bacon men.
An effort is being made in Atlan
ta to organize a Bacon political
club.
It is a little remarkable with what
energy some papers are supporting
Bacon.
The press of the state is badly
divided on Gordon and Bacon, with
a predominance in Bacon's favor.
The democratic party of Franklin
county will select gubernatorial del
egates on the first Tuesday in June.
A petition is being circulated in
Gwinnett county urging Judge N.
L. Hutchins to enter the race for
governor.
If reports be true Gen. John B.
Gordon will carry the delegation
from every county along the Geor¬
gia railroad.
The race between Gordon and Ba¬
con is an issue between the people
and politicians—between an honest
ballot and court house cliques.
It is thought that Walton county
will give Hammond a decided ma¬
jority in the congressional contest
over Judge Stewart.

duced by the late exciting scenes
through which he has passed.
Major Bacon docs not agree to
Gordon’s projmsition for primary popular
elections to ascertain the
will, but is willing for a multitudeof
modes to be adopted. lie, however,
consents to a joint discussion.
The gubernatorial outlook in
Newton county seems to stt er to¬
wards General J. B. Gordon, as the
choice of the people, while Hon. A.
O. Bacon is favorably spoken of by
mnny.
The Southern Baptist Convention,
which has been in session in Mont¬
gomery, has adjourned, The after a most
interesting meeting. next con¬
vention will be held in Louisville,

At a meeting of the Democrats of
Quitman county, held Saturday, del
egates were elected to represent the
county in the gubernatorial instructed conven¬ for
tion, and were to vote
Hon A. O. Bacon.
SheriffOverby says that Oconco
county lays no claim to the State
Senator this time, but concedes it to
Rockdale and will support any good
man the county puts forward. This
is Clarke's position also.
The citizens ol Jonesboro have pe¬
titioned Gordon and Bacon to have
a joint discussion at that place involv¬ at
an early day upon the issues
ed in the present gubernatorial cam¬
paign.
Major Bacon fired bis first gun
from the stump in Augusta last
Tuesday night, He proclaims
friendship with everybody people and every
measure that is before the and
may be put down as the great guber¬
natorial “spraddler.”
It was a happy coincidence that
General Gordon should have address
ed the people of Amerieus Wednes
day evening from the spot upon
which Ben Hill stood in 1868 when
he so forcibly arraigned the Bul¬
lock legislature. Gordon was the
elected governor of the people
then, though counted out of it by
political chicanery, and the people
have treasured his name ever since.
Mr. Jefferson Davis has returned
to his home. His last public speech
was addressed to a company of small
boys, in this language: ‘ God bless
you, little ones? I remember a few
nights ago seeing you march through
the mud to do honor to one who can
do nothing for you.” And yet re
publican politicians of high and low
degree insist that the country 16
frightened at Jefferson Davis, and
will conseqently elect a republican
president who will see to it that the
south is kept in silence and subjec¬
tion.
The Georgia Dental association

Mrs. Tyler, the widow of CX-PrCS
ident . , . rn l^ler, i has i left , ... the . i capital . , and j
is now living with her only daughter,
airs. Ellis, in Montgomery county,
Va.
Judge Walker has a Spanish dol¬
lar made in 1318. It is rusty and
worn but the marks on it are dis¬
tinct. The judge got it out of the
bank at Athens where it was repre¬
senting a government #1, and that
was what it cost. It is a treaurc
worth holding to.—Walton News.
Men just as good as Mr. Grover
Cleveland have been engaged with¬
out getting mad about it. Why
should he foam and declare o v er the
announcement? We dare say Miss
Folsom is just as much ashamed of
the afTair as he, and yet she has not
murmured.—Telegraph.
A military company has been or¬
ganized in Greeneshoro. The people
have taken hold of the enterprise with
spirit, and the local press desires that
the company should be for the county
as well as the town.

county Wednesday delegates were

vention instructed for Hon. John J.

A boy not 17 years of ago, in Pope
county, Minn., has invented “a com¬
bined bay rake and cocker,” for
which he has refused an offer of $15,
000 .
Tampa, Florida, has suffered from
a destructive fire. The Baldwin
House was burned and a whole
block of fine stores. The loss will
not fall far short of $100,000, with
insurance of $20,000.
The arrest and putting in jail the
Chicago Anarchists, August Spies,
August Fielder, Michael Schwab
and Chris. Spies, have had the ef
feet of cooling the bloodthirstiness
of their deluded followers.
Henry J. Butts, of Baldwin county,
who contributed three fingers to the
“Lost Cause,” has made application
for an allowance under the act pro¬
viding for the payment ofa certain
amount to confederates in Georgia
who lost a limb in the war. The
governor refused the application,
holding that the act contemplated
an amputation above the wrist or
above the ankle. The act speifies
that the beneficiary must have lost
either an arm or a leg.
The reward of $200 offered by the
governor for the arrest and delivery
to the sheriff of Bartow county of
Tobe Jackson has not yet been paid,
two claims for it having been filed
with the governor. Jackson was ar
rested in Texas at the instance
of Marshal Nelms, who promised
the arresting officers that they should
recieve the reward. Deputy Mar¬
shal Murphy was sent to Texas to
bring Jackson back to Georgia, and
enroute home Tobe effected his es¬
cape. Subsequently Deputy Mar¬
shal Garrison arrested him, brought
him to Atlanta and then took him to
Cartersville, where he turned him
over to the sheriff, receiving his re¬
ceipt. Garrison claims the reward,
while Mr. Nelms says that being his
agent he has no claim upon it, where
upon Garrison threw up his com¬
mission as deputy marshal and pro¬
poses to fight for the reward. The
question is an decided interesting one and
will have to be by Govern¬
or McDaniel.

* A HARE AND VALUABLE BOOK.
This is the most remarkable hook
of the age. Fascinating as a novel,
it is yet full of great and living
truths, such as cannot fail to benefit
all who may read them. It is a
work that will adorn any library, as
it is the richest collection of inci¬
dents, ilustrations, pathos and ar¬
gument ever published in a single
volume. Read what a competent
critic has to say of this truly re
markable book:
“Platform Echoes,” by John B.
Gough, published by A. D. Worth¬
ington & Co., Hartford, Conn. In
this handsomely illustrated volume
ol f>3t) pages the temperance man
and the general reader will find a
world of. entertainment and infor¬
mation. dough, for the past forty
years, has held his own as one of the
most wonderful orators of the age.
He has spoken in many countries.
He has been received with honor by
kings and queens. His burning elo
quence, his inimitable mimicry, his
dramatic stories have for nearly half
a century been the delight of the
English speaking world. In this
book the reader will find not only
the life history and the life work of
a great reformer, but also the very
cream of the lectures which have
revolutioned the public sentiment of
this country and England on the
liquor question.—Atlanta Constitn
