Well now that de settle it. General Evans says he is on the Chicago Platform, and if we re member correctly neither Seaborn Wright “The Tribune of the peo ple,” or Editor Cooper .of the Tri bune that the people repudiate, voted for Judge Maddox, although he was nominated on the platform and is on it yet. FLO YD AND WIIITFIE L I). Perhaps, oil the state press, there is not a inora out spoken fearless saber, than that of Hale, of Hale’i Weekly of Cenyers. Hale is a democrat, of course aud had the honor of representing his county in the last legislature He was decidedly popular in that body of stateanoeu, and among th<- personals ho has written of hit associates, we clip the following; Were we called upon to name half dozen of the strongest young men of the House, we could do so with little hesitation: Warner Hill, Eugene Battle, Porter King, Allen, of Upson, Neel, of Floyd and Bob Hodges. Neel, of Floyd, by many is con sidered the peer of any young man in the state —we hold that he he has but few superiors, young or old. He has a strong, well bal anced brain, a strong character and a strong, determined leaning toward all that is boat for his people. One of the most never® misfits in the House tvas the gentleman from Whitfield. Paul Trammel is not beautiful but has braius— hie successor poetesses neither beauty nor braius.

Q The Atlanta Constitution is strlv iug to make itself believe that Ev ans is «ot the administration candi date for governor.—Jesup Sentinel. c—— It now looks as if Evans ava’anch will sweep old Georgia from the mountains of Rabun to the marshes of Glynn. Brother Moore should brush up on “boom centers"—He will then know that the Evans avalauch did not start from the mountains of Rabun. Further" if he will watch said av i lanch he will see it met by such a warm reception by democrats that it will melt before it gets out of Fulton county. ’ STATE POLITICS.
