Columbus, Ga., Aug. 16.—A peculiar condition of affairs appears in the political situation in Muscogee county and there is evidently much alarm existing In some quarters. The friends of the two leading can didates for governor are no doubt somewhat rattled as to the urgent means adopted to bring them back in closer touch with the voters. Before the Smlth-Howell debate oc curred here there was no doubt in the minds of the many supporters of Mr. Smith that his election was a foregone conclusion, but somehow since that time they do not appear to be so strongly intrenched ns they thought they were. The Howell element was also greatly strengthened by the debate, and de clared their candidate surely would go Into the governor’s chair. Judge Russell was so sure that either one or'the other of these two would carry the county that he would not come here until urged to do so by his friends, and they would not ask him to come until they became aware of the uneasiness existing In both the other camps. It is now seen that in order to hold the Howell party together men who are closely allied to him are sent here to strengthen his cause, for it appears that fears are entertained that Judge Russell is taking votes from Howell instead of Smith, as was at first supposed. There is a vagueness of expression and a lukewarmness in enthusiasm that shows the voters are troubled. constitution of the United States, I have this in two of his speeches. Every member of congress In his oath of office has to say that he will uphold the constitution of the United States and I will see that he either purges himself or repudiates his remarks or is not given his seat in the national house.

Then when you wrote me again and asked my active aid, I excused myself from doing for you what I had declined to do for my sister. Any sane man would have been satisfied with tills letter.
