It seems that Hoke Smith "cleaned up ” Clarke Howell in the Atlanta de bate. Clarke is not a match for Hoke, and I think he injures his cause every time he meets him. He is simply out of his class, aud I think he has fonud it out himself by this time. Hoke Smith is a trained debater, and lie has the best platform. I am satisfied a large majori ty of the white people are in favor of disfranchisement. It looks very much to me like Hoke Smith will be our nexr. governor.
