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.

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.
