The Telegraph receives infor

G #n . Enos’ campaign, to have the
delegates from those counties
which they feel are favorable to
the candidacy of their man [elect
ed is aeon as possible, presumably
for the double purpose of securing
the delpgatss from those counties
hyondaqiwtion and fora sup

We trust that these reports are
untrue and that do efforts will be

Su-.a a move would be a I ad one

Ground is to bo prepared for the
crops are to be gotten into the
grsuud. It will theiefore.be im
possible until that time has pass
»d for anything like a full party
vote to be polled in any of the
country counties, and the mass
meeting? and primaries would not
fairly represent the views of a ma
jority ot the Democratic voters in
those couutiee.
It Is to be presumed that both
candidates for the Democratic
nomination have in view, as a
matter of the first importance
the good and welfare *f the party.
The Telegraph speaks by the card
when it says that this is the view
Mr. Atkinson takes of ths contest.
There Las net been a time within
the past thirty years when harmo
ny within the party and the abso
lute alienee es anything like un
fairness in the manipulation of
the party machinery was as ncc—
®B»ary a? it is now.
Anything like snap judgement
in the« nination far governor, or
anything tl a Ijoks like an at
tempt to deprive the country peo
pl* of their full share in voicing
the sentiment of the party will
surely create discord and disscon
tent, which will react in favor of
the third party.
Hence, for the goad of the parky

William C. Owens, es Scott county,
ow*ns was the first to enter the rac*
against Congressman Breckinrige
and is the first to *pen up th* fierce
battle for the seal in congress now
•ccupied by the defendant in the
celebrated breach of promise suit.
In 1878 Ed Marshall ran as an inde
pendent candidate against Hon, J, C.
S. Blackburn, now es th* senat*, and
was defeated. The plac* now b*ing
sought by Mr, Owens, Evan Little
and th* iucambent, has been graced

is married, residing in Staunton, A a.
and two boys, one a lawyer aiding in
th* defense of his father. Th* oth*r,
named for his grandfather. Rob*rt J.

Breckinridge t* egraphed Desha

Ha stoedon th# bridge at midnight,
The preacher was at his side,
But the woman came was his motbe-in law
Or w#ulderbeen, had he got his bri le.
* ♦ ♦
Th* dim moon had hardly mount
ed the threne of night and cent ker
seft bilver beam* athwart the dark
Plutonian shore, last evening, when
a youth of leader years moun’ed the
abuttment of How ard street bridge.
The young Roman, not yet 20,
wore bi* Buuday clothes and a wor
ii*d, anxious and expectant l*ok in
big other eye, while he kept oae
turned on eveiher approach of the
bridge.
The city of Rome uis’tl o one aid* lay
quie' a::d resiling fiom a day's busy
toil, while tn the other hand East
liume, the poetic little suburban
metropolis was nestling in her ’own
red hills and dreaming of black ber -
ry time, and wondering where hei
own dummy line was at.
He gazed above into the star span
gl jd banner ot the sky and wondered
which one of the little twinkier* wa»
duty ‘ pinning back the curtain of
night.“ The moon was rising, but
there was no church in sigl t, the
shadow of whose rafters could be
thrown on the turbid water* and
sweeping tide of the untamed ard
undamed Etowah, so the song of-‘the
Bridge" died cn his lips.
Eagerly and anxiously h* look
ed ab*uth im and peered into the
face of each passing p*de*tria*.
Out ou the old circu* ground* e
quartette of gay musicians had
gathered and the soft seductive
strain* of fiddle and guitar, man
doline and flutecameup t® him
through the dark and reeking riv
er air and lulled some what the
wild and conflicting emotion* tha
weie at war in hi* gallant yeung
bosom.
Hf wailed long and patiently,
but finally a friend joined him
and then, another and another.
Presently"the rattle of wheel* on
the macadam of Second avenue
was heard, the nois* became loud
er, and finally from the gloora of
the water oaks, Dr. C S. Harris,
driving old Tom —an animal that
baa witnessed more marriages than
any hoss in Georgia, rolled up on
to the Rom* entrauce of the bridge
Theyoung Roman’s heart leap*d
into hia mouth—but be swallowed
it back" again. “Well,“ eaid Dr.
Harris, “wheres the bride elect?-*
To this pointed and business
like question the young man
vouched no reply, but gazed sadly
towaids the shadows that hovered
over the Rome entrance of the
bridge.
Then came a long and heart
rending spell of almost dvathly
•uepense.puaetured ev ry now and
again by whispered exclamation*
a d ih* Rome wo ks-whistle
sighs.
Once, a light hearted fiient
sought to distract the mind *f the
bridegroom elect from the gnaw
ing suspense that was at his y itu s
bv saying; ‘*The Btowah is a mud
dy stream, aiut sb*?"
“Oh, damn the Etowah,“ *x
claimed the impatient youth as lu
cast an impassioned look around
to see if the Hustlsb of Rom* was
iu sight.
At la*t th* end eame. a mertal,
clad in f*minin* _.aitire nnd «ur
rounded with men of st»lw*rt
meuld approached from the Ro
man *hor*. Th* groom elect wi*
iu a “transport” of joy but a
moment later, when the delegation
approached nearer and be saw who
had bUrroUkid*d him and hi«
f i nd*, he wished h* was on a
Bt**mboat as a deck hand, and
rolling c*tt*u “dowu’t- Mobile.’’
The lady wh* had ru*hed fron.

mother of Mis* Florence Haneou

When Mr*. Handaon app*ar*c

th* bridge to guard it and when
•h* pauaed other* es h*r party
pa*s*d on and were soon pestad *n
tha Es*t Roma side guarding that
approach.
Thu* th* irat* woman had bv
‘Stonewsll-Juekson march**, »ur
rounded her enemy, Then in a bus:-
e«*s like mannar sli* entered the
supprised party of th* would be
g o*m‘* party, and proceeded t* de
af r hth wide busine** .
Th* tumult on th* bridge hu*h*d

with hi* fiddle, Charley Craig with

Mr*. Hamon, who i» a most r»-
apectabl* widow was indignant
and *• wrought up that ah* used

and «v*ry party connected with
the groom 1 * aid* of the affair.

him tha', a* her son-in-law h*

c 'miwg as they did from th* lip,
of tie mother of his aweathrart,
fell ®n his manly soul as p*aa ol
a raw hide or kotiirou sens* on a
krauk.
Then turning on City physician
Harris, she said “why Doctor I
