An Interesting Letter About Persons of
Prominence.
Atlanta, Nov. 5th, 1886.
At lOo’cloek Wednesday the Geor
gia legislature convened. The sen¬
ate was called to order by Hon. W.
A Hams, secretary, ami the house
by Col. Mark Hardin, clerk.
Hon. John 8. Davidson, of Augns
ta was elected president of the sen- Co
ate and Hon. W. A. Little, of
iumbus, was elected speaker of the
l 1()USC
Hon C. R. Pringle,of Sandersville,
was elected president pro tern of the
senate and Col. A. S. Clay, of Mari
etta, was elected speaker pro tem of
the house
Hon. W. A. Harris was iinani
mously elected secretary of the sen
ate and Hon. Mark Hardin clei'k of
the house.
After electing the other smaller
officers both houses adjourned un
til Thursday at 10 o’clock.
Thursday was taken up in open
ing and counting the consolidated
returns of the gubernatorial elec
tion
But little work of importance to
the state will be done in either house
before the inauguration of the gov
ernor, which event will occur next
’Tuesday. There will be a grand
military display at the inauguration
and everything is being prepared
to make it one of the most imposing
ceremonies ever witnessed at an in
augural in the state.
Monday the legislature will elect
judges and solicitor generals. In
several of the circuits the eon
tests al'U very warm. Each candi
date and his friends have been put
ting in fine work in the lobby dur
ing the past day or two. The
Kimball at night is electioneering the center of at is

t qna !t> the iros# roads of forty
years Up ago. time the . members , of ,
to this
the house have received ho passes,
except trip paiscs, over the fail
roads add there is an uneasiness for
fear they will not be forthcoming.
It thought to be on account of
the stand the last house took on
the railroad commission and the is
sue having been made in most eve
ry county in the state in the legis
islative elections this fall. It will
be quite inconvenient- tn the mem
bers, but may tend to keep them
promptly at their business and
thereby be a saving to the state.
Hon. J. S. Davidson in seconding
the nomination of Hon. W. A. Har
ris, for secretary of the senate, paid
a ^lowing tribute to his worth and
ability ha's for the position. position Col. for Har
ris filled this many
years and so satisfactorily that n<>
opposition is ever raised to his re
election.
Hon. John 8. Davidson, president
of senate, makes a splendid pres id
ing officer. His unanimous elec
tion was a worthy tribute to his
merit and ability. He is one of the
most prominent men now before the
people of Georgia, and would grace
the gubernatorial chair with digni
ly and ability. Pringle,
Col. C. R. who was unan
imously elected president pro tem
of the senate, is one of the foremost
members of the senate, He made a
brilliant record in the house and
we predict for hitn a similar career
in the senate.
The present senate is above an
average, and will be distinguished
more for good, honest work than for
“gas.” M. D. I.
We extend to Col. M. D. Irwin,
of the Solid South, our eongratuia position
tions on his election to the
of third clerk in the senate. Mr
IrwiD will fill the position admira

There was more interest taken ih
the municipal contest in Now York
C }W Tuesday than ift any state elec¬
tion. Mr. Hewitt is elected mayor
by a good majority. Mr. than George
got a much larger vote many
of the politicians thought he would.
His defeat will be received with snt
^faction throughout the country,
because he is a crank and socialist,
and lus election would have had a
ver .Y bad effect. He could hot have
botic fitted the workingmen in an)
W «.V H be had been elected. Indeed,
it is more than probable that his
success would have resulted in posi
tive harm to their cause. The am
bitious young republican, Mr.
Roosevelt’ will hardly get much sat
faction out of the fact that Ins vote
>s less than Mr. George’s. The en
tire vote was greater than it was es
timaten it would be, The people of
New York city ought to rejoice that
Mr. Hewitt is to be their next Mav
or He will give the city an honest
government, if such a thing is poa
