B! VOL. XXVIII—NO. 206 COLUMBUS, GEORGIA: WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER S, 188(5. PRICE FIVE CENTS n VOICE OF THE A Continent Snowed Under by a Shower of Freemen’s Ballots. The Democrat* Hold Thi-lr Own Except In I'enn- ■jrlranl* and Virginia, Bui So llorernor Whh Klooted la Iho Litter State—The Old Republican State*In the Norfhaeit Still Joined to Their Idols—Abram 8. Hewitt lx Mayor of Sew York City. New York, November 2.—The election in New York to-day is for a judgfe of the court of appeals and for members of the legislature and for thirty-four congress men, The nominees for the judgeship are Buffalo, The contest is between the two first named, almost nothing having been hoard of the prohibitionist candidate. There has been little campaign work done for either Daniels or Peckham. Both are recognized as eminently worthy of the E ositlon, but it is believed that Judge laniels, who has long been prominent on the supreme court bench, will attract many democratic votes. The World practically supported him mainly because it considers Peckham an anti-Hill nomination man. The vote for judge will be compared with the gubernatorial vote of last year. The state will vote also upon the question whethe a convention for revising the constitution shall be held. A majority of all the votes cast at the election is required for an affirmative decision. It is believed this will be obtained, as both parties favor a convention. Much more interest centres in the election of 128 members of the assembly, as the next legislature will elect a successor to Senator Miller. Both parties are making special efforts to carry the day. The re publicans have a decided advantage. The senate of thirty-two members which holds over has a republican majority of 8. The democrats, therefore, must elect 69 assem blymen to control the United States sen- atorship. The republicans need only 61. The last legislature constated of 78 republi cans and §0 democrats. Senator Miller, who desires a re-election, has taken an active part in the assembly campaign. In congressional elec tions, il is believed that the parties will about hold, their own, though the result in several districts is considered doubtful. Etch party now has seventeen represen tatives. Worthy of note is the nomination by democrats of William Bourke Cochrane in the twefch district, and of Geu. B. F. Spinola in the tenth. Both men are un compromising in their hostility to civil service reform and to President Cleveland. In the eighth district T. F. Rad, who bit terly opposed Cleveland at the Chicago convention and afterwards espoused But ler’s cause, is running as an independent democrat against Tim Campbell who has the regular democratic nomina tion and has been endorsed oy the republics,..s. ri. c>. Cox will probably be elected in Lhc ninth district, lu the thir tieth district (Rochester) the democrats have nominated Theo. Bacon, who was a republican until 18&4. It is claimed that there wui he a clone contest betiveen him and C. 8. Baker, the present republican member. The prohibitionists have made nominations in nearly every congressional district; blit is not believed that any now on their ticket will be elected. In New York city interest in the mayoralty con test ovei shadows al^others. Tn j registra tion is larger tnan ever before in an offl year, being within 50,(J00 of tha.of 1884. The labor organizations WERE FIRST IN THE FIELD and nominated Hemy George, the well known writer and lecturer on social and economic problems. His nomination was endorsed by the liviug Hall democrats and many -locial reformers. Preachers and enthusiasm hocked to his standard. They iv. re joined by 'all the socialists, communists and anarchists in the city, who hailed George’s eandiuaey as a great step forward in tne levelling propaganda. The George movement seumeu to be mak ing great headway, when, to the surprise of thu entire city, Tammany nominated Horn AbramS. Hewitt, who has represent ed the tenth district in Congress for many years. This nomination was seconded by the County Democracy and an aggressive campaign’ was at once inaugurated. Fi nally the Republicans made their nomina tion, their choice fulling Theodore Roose velt, a wealthy young man who dis tinguished himself in his three ye'is’ services in the state legisla ture by active efforts and great success in reforming long standing abuses in the government of New York city. Few persons seriously think that Henry George will be electeo, but he may receive votes enough to make the contest close between the other candidates. It is thought that his votes will be drawn principally from the democrats. Both democrats and re publicans are confident ot success. The probabilities, however, APPEAR TO BE IN FAVOR OF HEWITT’C ELECTION. Of the mugwump papers, the Post has vig orously supported Hewitt, while the Times has just as vigorously worked for Roose velt. Considerable interest attaches to the contest in Brooklyn for district attorney. The Eagle has bolted Ridgeway, the regu lar democratic nominee, Decause he has failed to prosecute pool sellers, and has pronounced in favor of Gen. B. F. Tracy, the republican candidate, who promises, it elected, to enforce rigidly the law against gambling. The Commercial Advertiser, after a care ful canvass of each election district in this citv, estimates that at no in the vote stood: George, 47,400; Roosevelt, 60,100; Hewitt, 77,350. New York, November 2.—'Three hun dred and thirty districts give Roosevelt 24,336, Hewitt 32,833, George 22,604, Ward- well 241. Forty-five election districts out side of New York and Kings counties give Peckham 4901, Daniels 7078. The same districts last year gave Hill 6308 and Da venport 8517. New York, November 2.—Eighty-five districts outside of New York and Kings county give Peckham 10,612, Daniels 14.206. New York, November 2.—Five hundred and forty districts give Roosevelt Hi®") Hewitt 56,911, George 42,024, Word well 377. New York, November 2.—Seven hun- dred and sixty districts give Roosevelt 67,328, Hewitt 84,282, George 61,669, Ward- well 599. The present assembly consists of seventy- seven republicans and fifty-one democrats. The changes at this hour indicate thut the democrats have gained the third and tenth New York districts and the republicans have gained the Seneca and first Wayne districts—one party thus balancing the other. New York, November 2.—Six hundred districts give Roosevelt 46,832; Hewett, 65,824; George, 47,259. Wardwell, £27, New York. The eighth congressional dis trict gives Campbell 11,458; Gradj , 10,929. The five districts are missing. One him- dred and forty-six districts in Brooklyn gives Peckham 27,929; Daniels, 22,651. Seven hundred city districts give Roose velt 53,955; Hewett, 78,308; George, 53,668, i and Wardwell 532. One hundred and i thirty-five election dlst-i,- s outside of New j I York and Kings cou.i .es gives Peckham : 107,069 and Daniels 23,852. New York, November 2.—Seven hun- | dred and uinetv-one out of 812 districts j give Hewitt 90,485, George 64,806, Roose- ; 1 velt 60,154, and Wardwell 428. Returns from over 330 districts outside of New York and Kings counties, show that Daniels is getting about 89 per cent, of the vote given to Davenport last year, while Peckham is getting about 80 per cent, of the vote given to Hill. New York, November 2.— William Bourke Cochran, democrat, is elected to congress in the twelfth district. New York, November 2.-8. S. Cox has been elected to congress to fill the vacancy caused by the withdrawal of Pulitzer. New York, November 2.—Eight hun dred and one districts give Roosevelt 59,- , 621; Hewett 89,407; George 66,885 and ; Wardwell 508. New York, November 2.—The city’s j complete returns, with the exception of j pne election district, shows the following ! vote: Roosevelt 59,832, Hewitt 90.290, : George 67,699, Wardwell 574. New York, November 2.—In the eighth j congressional district Campbell has 12,079, i Grady 11,690 and Holden 85. I'KNNSYI.VAM V. Philadelphia, November 2.—The elec- j tion in Pennsylvania is for governor, lieu- tenant-governor, auditor-general, secretary of internal affairs nnd twenty-eight con-| gressmen. One of the latter is to be se- i lected by a vote of the state at large and the other twentv-seven by districts; twenty-five members of the state senate, (one-half of that body,) and all the mem bers of the lower house of the legislature, 201 in number, are to be elected. The ndw legislature will elect a United States sena tor to succeed Senator Jno. I. Mitchell, whose term will expire March 4, 1887. gain of 411. Rockridge county is conceded to Yost, republican, by 200 majority, a re publican gain of 206. Alexandria, November 2.—General Lee’s majority in this city is 346. aim the indi ations are that he will carry the dis trict by upwnrds of 1500. A light vote was polled throughout the district. Richmond, Va., November 2.—The vote of Petersburg, Va., for W. E. Gaines, re- mbituatl, for congress from the fourth " ’’age, democrat; 1375; This it one of the district is 1780; Mann Page, democrat, 1375; Gaines majority 411. The republicans have a majority of ninety- three on joint ballot in the present legislature. The prohibitionists, with a complete ticket in the field, have made an active canvass, and there is a belief on the part of the democrats that a greater num ber of voters for the prohibition ticket will be drawn from the republican party, and has made them hopeful that the number of voters thus drawn from the regular re publican ticket will be sufficiently great to give Black, the democratic candidate for governor, a plurality over Beaver. Philadelphia, November 2—-The re turns indicate Beaver's majority in the city to be between 23,00!) and 25,000, Harrisburg, Va., November 2.— Ten out of 24 precincts in this (Rockingham county) give Raller, ind., 275 majority oxer O’Ferrall, deni, —a gain of 407 over the J ubernaturial vote of last fall. Mount aekson, Shenandoah count,y gives Raller 70 majority; Winchester, Frederick coun ty, gives Raller 106 mnjority; Milnes, Pages county, gives Raller 92 majority. Shenan doah county—New Market gives O’Ferrall 76.majority; Strosburg, O’Ferrall 178 ma jority; Woodstack, O'Ferrali 110 majority. Warren county—From Royal gives O’Fer rall 270 majority; Cedarville, O’Ferrali 48 majority, . Philadelphia, November 2—Chair man Cooper estimates Beaver’s majority in the state at 33,000. Philadelphia, November 2. — The figures on the state ticket come in slowly, but show an invariable gain for Beaver, -epublican, for governor. His plurality in this city will not fall below 2o,000. The other candidates on the state ticket are well up with the head. Bingham, republi can's elected to congress in the first district; Oneill, republican, in the second; Randall, democrat, in the third; Kelly, republican, in the fourth; Harmer, republican, in the fifth; Ermentrout, democrat, in the eighth; Heislan. republican, in the ninth; Sowden, democrat, in the tenth; Bavkalow, demo crat, in the eleventh; Bound, republican, in the fourteenth; Maish, democrat, in the nineteenth; Dalseli, republican, in the twenty-second; and Bayne, republican, in tlie twenty-third. VIRGINIA. Richmond, November 2.—By the elec tion in this state the entire congressional delegation is to be chosen, but no state of ficers of any kind are to lie elected. Of the ten representatives in the present con gress eight are democrats und two repub licans. The feature of the campaign just concluded has been the unusual apathy in most of the districts. In ail tne districts except the fifth, sixth and seventh the fight is a square one between democrats, und republicans. In the three districts named, which are overwhelmingly demo cratic, independents are in the field. In this,' the third dis trict, up to Saturday last the canvass has been quite lively, as the light.was a triangular one between the democrats and republicans and the reform labor party, each having a candidate ; but owing io the withdrawal at the last hour of the labor candidate, Wm. H. Mullen, the contest is narrowed uown to Hon. Geo. D. Wise the incumbent, and Ex-Judge Edmund Waddi)I, republican. Mullen and his adherents arc almost unanimously sup porting the democratic nominee. From present indications the political complex ion of Virginia’s delegation in the 50th con gress will remain unchanged. Richmond, Va., November 2.—Weather is clear and very pleasant. Voting at all the precincts in the city was quite steady. More than one-half of the city’s votes were polled before noon Everything is moving quietly. Reports from other points tn the state iudieatea similar condition. Richmond. November 2. The vote of this eitv is, Geo. D. Wise;(democrat), 7447; Edmund Wandell (republican), 5340. Wise’s majority is 2107. democratic gain of 207 over ihe Inst congressional ote with which comparisons for this election are made. In Manchester Wise has a majority of 242, a democratic loss of 41. But few returns have been received from coun ties in this, the third district. Staunton, November 2.-Yost, republi can, has a majority of 10S in Staunton and adjoining precincts. The republican gain is 214. Comparisons are made with the vote of 1884, when the majority of Tucker, democrat, was 1187 in this district over Yost, republican. Richmond, November 2—In the fifth distriet, Brown, republican, for congress has probably carried Henry countv by 1000 and Patrick county by about 300. If so. the republicans gain about 1700. If this in maintained in the dirtrict, a republican will be elected. This district elected a democrat in 1884 by a majority of 2488. Elizabeth Citv county gives a republican majority of 732-a loss of 23. Lynchburg gives Hopkins, a Knight of Labor, a ma jority of 505. Lynchburg, Va., November 2.—This citv gave S. J. Hopkins, labor candidate, i sod majority. There are no definite par- I ticulars from other points. I Norfolk, Va., November 2.—Parks, democrat, carries Norfolk cijy by 9 ma jority over Bowden, republican. A demo cratic loss. Portsmouth city gives Parks a I reduced majority. The indications are that the republicans have held their own, and carried the district by a large majority. STAUNTON, Va., November 2.—Staunton | and eight county precincts give Bumgard- I ner, democrat, 83 majority, a republican black districts, und gives a heavy rcpobU- can majority. Gaines’ election is certirin. Danville, Va., November 2.—Til* re turns from this district are meagre, bat it is conceded that Brown, Independent re publican, is elected over Geo. C. Gabel who has represented the district for six terms. This is a large democratic loss. t Raleigh, V. C., November 2.—In the first congressional district Latham, demo crat, makes a gain thus far of 430. la the second distriet Simons, democrat, gain* about 1200. No returns nave been receive# from the third district, but McClaminV, democrat,has no opposition. In the fourth district Nichols, independent, is making gains on Graham, democrat. At many points in the filth district Reid, democrat, is making gains on Brower, republican. Staunton, Va., November 2.—Alleghany with two precincts to hour from gives Yost, republican, 301 majority. Full re turns will not alter the result. Winchester, Va., November 2.—Glarke county will give O'Ferrell over 500 major ity. O’Ferrell’s majority In Frederick county is estimated nt 500. Richmond, Va., November 2.—Returns from numerous points in the state indicate a falling oil' in the vote since the last elec tion. Republican gains are reported in everv direction. In the fifth district, John R. Browne made a vigorous fight aud has defeated Hon. George C. Cabell democratic incumbent. In the ninth Henry Bowen, republican, is opposed to R. R. Henry, democrat. Indications to night point to the election of Bowen, al though the democratic mnjority in the district at the last election was 1194. In the tenth district Yost, republican, has greatly reduced the democratic majority. Geotge E. Bowden, republican, in the second district and Wm. E. Gaines, republican, in the fourth are elected by heavy majorities. The contest in the first distriet between T'ios. Croxton, democratic incumbent,and T. H. B. Brown, republican, is also close but nothing positive can be stated to night. WEST VIKtitMA. Wheeling, W. Va., November 2.—Mea gre returns at this hour indicate the re- election of Goff, republican, In the HrSi congressional district by an increased ma jority. MASS IlilUSKTTN.. Boston, November 2.—The vote of Hull, which is the first received, and which is considered an augury foretelling the re sult in the state, stunds a tie of sixteen for ? ;overnor and lieutenant-governor. Long, or congress, has one plurality. There Is a tie for senator. The republican- repre sentative hns a plurality of twenty-fitpr. Amos, republican, 18,323. Boston, November2.—Seventy-six towns in Massachusetts, including the city of New Bedford, gives for governor: Ames 15,948, Andrews 12,776, Lathrop (prohibi tionist) 1320. Andrews will have a major ity of nearly 10,000 in Boston. Boston, November 2.—One hundred and eight towns give Ames (rep.)| for gov ernor 23,648, Andrews idem.) 18,740 und Lathrop 2385 Boston is not included in tne above. Boston, November 2.—One hundred and thirty-six towns and cities in Massachusetts, including Boston with the exception of one precinct to hear from, gives Ames 53,204, Andrews 55,120 aud Lathrop 2306. M A RVI.l Ml. Baltimore, November 2.—The congres sional election in this state to-day is at tracting more than usual interest, because of the multiplicity of candidates in some of the districts. There is little probabiity that the character of representation will be changed. Baltimore, November 2.—The canvass ol the vote hi this city completed shows the election of three democratic congress man—Rusk in the third district, Kayner in the fourth, uuu Compton in the fifth. Baltimore,November 2.—To-day’s elec tion in this city shows a large falling off iroui the presidential vote of two years ago. The vote of the entire city was then 63,335, wtiile to-day it was only 45,517, or 17,818 less than the presidential vote. This cuu be accounted lor in the fact that a large number of republicans refrained from voting because they had no regular candidates, aud took no interest in the suc cess ot those who were presented for their suffrage. The republican vote in Baltimore in 1884 was 27,585, while to-day the vote for the only straight out republican was ric •’ only 1045. In the third district there was ublican candidate; in the fourth dis- ie moss of that party would not sup- labor 143. The legislature stands: Republi cans, 43; democrats, 33. Vatico, democrat, is probably elected in the first district. Hartford, Conn., November 2.—Sixty- six towns give the republican ticket 16,502, tiie democratic ticket 16,5-13. the prohibi tion ticket 1438, the labor ticket 257. The legislature is republican, so fur, 67 to 40. MOUTH CAROLINA. Raleigh, November 2.—-The eloction in this state is for justices of the supreme court and seven superior court judges eleoted on the general ticket. The con gressmen, solicitors, county officers and the entire legislature are democratic. The supreme .judicial ticket is: W. N. H. Smith, chief justice, Thos, S. Astie and A. S. Mer- rimnn, associates. The republican state committee declined to call a state conven tion and present candidates, but an irregu lar republican convention recommended that Ralph P. Buxton be voted for ns chief justice and W. A. Albertson and V. S. Luske a3 associates. Nine congressmen are to be elected. There is no special sig nificance in the contest, the republicans having resorted to independent candidates. In the fourth nnd sixth districts the labor question is involved. In the former dis triet Judge Nicholas, the republican, runs as an independent and is a lending Knight of Labor. In the sixth distrlotC. U. Jones, an independent democrat, is a Knight of Labor. In the first distriet Barnett, an in dependent democtat, opposes Latham, a democrat. In the second distriet, which is largely a republican district, two colored men, O'Hara aud Abbott, are in the field ns republicans, and Simmons is thu demo cratic candidate. Raleigh, November 2 — State returns come in slowly, but they indicate demo cratic gains. SOUTH t:\ROMNA. Charleston, November 2.—General election in this state promises to lie un interesting. The democrats have Laminat ed a lull state ticket to which there is no opposition. Seven congressmen are to be voted for, but the only contest is in the seventh district where Elliott, a demo crat, runs against Smalls, a colored repub lican. The only special feature is the effort of the representation of the so called new movement to obtain control of the legislature. The ostensible object is aboli tion of free tuition in the South Carolina college and a reorganization of the agricul tural deipart i.icnt,. It is not likely however that the Tillmanites, ns they are called, will have a majority in the legislature. Charleston, S. C., November 2.—1? - ports from all parts of the state, show u quiet election and a very light vote. There’s no opposition to tho democratic 8t,at. t ■ lc: or to i he demo,-ratio candidates for congress, except in the sovent h district. The vote in Charleston Is ridiculously o.unll. Columbia. S.

There as no opposition to tne state ticket which is entirely demo cratic. The only interest in the election in this state is centered in tne iudepeiiCx.it nomi nees for the logislutuie in Burke.cy county and the contest between lilliolt. democrat, and Smalls, republican, for cone ruas in tin: seventh or “black” district. T1 ere are no indications yet as to the result < f the local fight in Berkely comity, but all reports from the seventh district, show heavy dem ocratic gains over 1834, when Smalls was elected by 3501 majority. There is a strong probability of Elliott's election, owing to his strength as a cm.didate, the unpopu larity of Smalls and the apathy of the col ored voters. UKOHtilA. Augusta, November 2.—To-day’s elec tion in Georgia is for members of congress only the state officers having been chosen October 3d, and there is no opposition to the ten democratic nominees. Prohibition is not a political issue In this state. It ex ists in one form or another in about 115 out of 137 counties In Georgia. The Knights of Labor do not extend beyond six or seven counties in ihu state, and they have not tuken any part in politics except in Richmond aud Unatham coun ties, and in those their tU'orts were not successful. Macon, Ga., November 2.—J. H. Blount was re-elected as ooiigt’essinun from tho 6th district to-day, making his seventh term. v A light vote was polled, because there was no opposition. Atlanta, November 2.—A light vote was polled to-day. There was no opposition to the regular democrat state nominees. Augusta, November 2.—There was a very light vote for congressmen through out thu state and no opposition to the demo cratic candidates. Everything indicates an early settlement of the labor troubles in Augusta. Probubly all the mills will be working next week. Atlanta, November 2.—Specials to the Constitution from all of the Georgia dis tricts show the election of tho entire dem ocratic congressional delegation as follows: T. M. Norwood, H. (4. Turner, G. F. Crisp, T. W. Grimm, John D. Stewart, J. II. Blount, J. C. Clements, II. H. Carlton, A. port Findlay, independent democrat, who had been indorsed by some of the leaders. The great mass of republicans demanded straightout nominations, and in the begin ning of the campaign declared their inten tion to vote for no other candidates; to which they adhered, as is shown by the small vote received by Findlay. So little interest was manifested that after the; poll of the democratic voce the polling places were almost entirely deserted, and but for the police guards ' D. Candler and (ieo. T. Barnes. There would scarcely have been noticed. The I was no opposition to the democratic nom- republiean vote for congress in 1884 in , inees except in the 4th district, which was the io n tli district was 14,3541, while to-day j merely nominal, and in the 7th district, the entire opposition vote to the demo-j which recently sprang up and wus rather cratic caiididaies was 10,471.

The indications are that there is no choice for governor by the peo ple. Concord, N. H., November 2.—Returns tions in this statu to-day are for congress men only. The democrats have made an active canvass throughout the stulu, though they have no opposition except in the following districts: Fisrt, T. 8. Wil kinson, democrat, William M.

Thirty-nine towns give the republicans ‘ nominated ’>Jr the regular convention but 9354, democrats 10,263, prohibitionists 894, his name was afterwurds withdrawn by tho republican distriet committee nnd Dr. Dnrrall’s name substituted. This action created dissatisfaction among the colored republicans, while democrats are united. New Orleans, November 2,—'The elec tion throughout the state, as far as heard from, passed off quietly. Wilkinson has almost, a walk-over in the first distriet, but few. republican votes being east, The vote in tliiB city lias been light. In the country parishes of the second district the republicans are reported to have polled a full vote except a small vote diverted by Simms iu St. James. Meagre reports have been received from the third distriet. They indicate that a fair vote has been polled throughout the remainder of the state, there Doing no opposition to the democrats. Only a very light vote was polled and the following named candidates were elected to congress: Fourth distrlot, N, C. Blanchard; fifth district, Cherubim New ton; sixth district, E. W. Robertson. FLORIDA. Jacksonville, Fla., November 2.—In Florida to-day, two congressmen are to be elected and the new state constitution is to be submitted for ratification. In the first district, Pendleton, nominated by tho Knights of Labor with a quasi endorse ment of the republicans, is running against Davidson, the regular democratic nomi nee. In the second district, Norment, the prohibition nominee for congress, is in the field against Dougherty, democrat, and Greeley, republican. Davidson and Dougherty are members of the forty-ninth congress. Jacksonville, Fla., November. 2.—The weather is clear and cool and probably so throughout the state. There is a promise of a full vote. Jacksonville, Fin., November 2.-—The indications of the returns received up to 10 o’clock show a democratic gain in the first and second congressional districts. The present congressmen, Davidson and Dougherty, will be re-elected by a majority of from 1200 to.3000. Jacksonville, November 2.—It. II. M. Davidson in tho first distriet and Chns. Dougherty in the second district, demo crats, arc re-elected. The now constitu tion is curried by a heavy majority. ALABAMA. Montgomery,A In., November 2.—There is no issue of prohibition or kindred sub jects before the people of Alabama in to day’s election, and it is virtually a walk over for the democratic nominees in the first, second, third nnd fifth districts.
