Ilogan, of this comity, nominated for Governor; Felix N. Coob, of Carroll, for attorney general; and W. P. Glover, of Bibb, for commissioner of agriculture. The nomination of -Mr. Ilogan was cs complete surprise to his friends ^ ere. No one suspected that the at the convention would tints honor a Lincoln county man. We know, too, it was equally a sur prise to Mr. Ilogan himself, for Gin coin county, which was entitled (o two delegates, was not represented at all. Certainly had he desired the nomination he would have seen to it. that his home County was represented in the convention. Now that he is nominate 1 there is considerable speculation as to or not he will accept. On this ques¬ tion his friends differ material! v. A large number think that he should make the race, and that with an aggressive campaign he could easily be elected. There are others, how ever, who hold to the opinion that it would be impossible to elect any Populist governor this year, and for this reason lie should politely decline the honor. In this latter class are found some of his warmest friends. We believe Mr. iiogan will give the matter his careful consideration, and the conclusion lie reaches will be for what he deems the best interest of his party and the reform cause. It is-hoped that Hon. J. It. Hogan will accept the nomination tendered him. He is able, honest, conserva¬ tive and safe, and would make an excellent governor.—-Daily Tribune. The Populist convention which convened in Atlanta Wednesday, nominated Hon. J. It. Hogan, of Lincoln county, for governor. Mr. Hogan has been a member of the legislature for a number of years past, and is a man of recognized ability and integrity.—People’s Press. Mr. Hogan has been the represen - tative of Lincoln county in the 'Georgia legislature for six years and there is no better man in the state than lie for governor. He is simply a plain farmer possessed who has of the plenty conli- of horse sense, a man and respect of his opponents, and if elected will h 11 the position with credit to himself and for the best interest of the people at large.— Jackson Economist. “It’s the ISest on Earth.” That is what Edwards & Parker, merchants of Plains, Ga., sav oi Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, for rheti matism, lame back, deep seated and muscular pains.

The daily papers yesterday con¬ tained telegrams gi'ing rumors of the annihilation of the Spanish Cape Verde fleet. The news, however, is not authenticated. The Associated Press has news from London that the American squadrons have destroyed G’erevera’s fleet. A special cablegram from the New York Journal’s London correspondent says that the whole city of London is excited over the published reports that a great battle has been fought in the winward pas¬ sage, and that the American fleet has completely annihilated Cerevera’s squadron. A Madrid telegram received in London says the Madrid authorities have received bad news of some kind, either oi Cerevera’s defeat or his bottling up in Santiago harbor. There are at Key West, hurry or¬ ders to get all hospitals in readiness. I 11 Madrid yesterday there were grave consultations. It is thought the Spanish government has received of disaster toils Cape Verde fleet. As soon as a dispatch boat arrived 1 at Key West yesterday work was be¬ gun at the hospitals getting them in readiness. The Mangrove, which was with the Oregon, is reported with block¬ ading squadron off Cuba. Tlie Populist Candidate. From the Macon Telegraph. J. G. Hogan, nominated of Lincoln county, has been for governor by the Populists, lie succeeds Thomas F- Watson as the field-leader of his party. Mr. Hogan legislature. is at present He a member of the state is not known, as Mr. Watson is out¬ side of Georgia, but, before the cam¬ paign is over, lie will probably enjoy a wider fame. On the stump lie will prove formidable, for he is a man of eloquent voice and impressive man¬ ner. in the legislature he has proved himself a skilled parliamentarian. He is very courteous to his opponents. ILe does not engage in mere rodoino tade. He is not a shrieker. Outlie contrary, he is a man of sober mind, thoroughly convinced that he is in the right, fearless in assertion and profoundly read in economics. He is quite the beat champion the Pop¬ ulists of Georgia could ha^c selected, after Mr. Watson, and really we do not know but that he will prove a more brilliant campaigner. It all depends upon his disposition to make a hard fight. Against such a speaker and so sin¬ cere a man as Mr. Hogan the Demo¬ crats of the state should put up their very best. man. If they underrate him they will make a serious blunder. No man of ordinary capacity should be sent against him. He has studied his subject. He is fluent and plaus able. He is quick to seize the weak points lie of an opponent’s He argument, has a logical mind. is not given to wild ravings. He is cool, adroit and not easily daunted. He represents that element of the Pop¬ ulists of which Polk was, in his day, the type. He is unquestionably the most skillful fencer the Populists of Georgia could have seat to the hus¬ tings iit this time. The Populist nominated the follow¬ ing gentlemen Wednesday: For gov¬ ernor, J. G. Hogan, of Lincoln ; for attorney-general, Felix N. Cobb, of Carroll; for commissioner of agricul¬ ture, W. P. Glover, of Bibb. lion. J. G. Hogan has represented his county in the general assembly for two or three successive terms and was Populist leader in the last ses¬ sion and his election is sure. Col. W. L. Peek, of Rockdale, and Vancy Carter, of Hart, were also in the race but Hogan beat Peek by two votes and Carter by several.—Gedertown Advance-Courier. The Best Remedy for Rheumatism. From Eairhtiven (X. Y.) Register. Mr. James Rowland of this village states that for twenty five years his wife has been a sufferer from rheu¬ matism. A few nights ago she was in such pain she was nearly crazy. Site sent her husband for the doctor, but lie had real of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and instead of going for the physician he went to the store and secured a hot.le of it; His wife did not approve of the purchase at first, but nevertheless applied the Balm thoroughly uttd in an hours time was able to go to sleep. feels She now applies it whenever she an ache or a pain and finds that it always gives relief. He says that no' medicine which she had used ever did her as much good. The 25 and 50 cents sizes for sale by Price & Nash. $250.00 REWARD.
