< -: 5 *:>
!
WILLIAM M’KINLEY, OF OHIO,
A CLORIOUS VICTORY
FOR HON. JOHN W. MADDOX.
It grows and grows !
The victory of Hon. John W. Mad
dox is the biggest ever scored in the
Seventh Congressional district since
the advent of Dr. Felton.
He has carried the district by a clear
plurality of over 4,470.
The official returns did not win the
Tribune’s figures for yesterday, and
the estimate was not exaggerated.
Official returns from ten counties
give Maddox the following pluralities:
Bartow 251.
Catoosa 276. ,
Chattooga 474.
Cobb 600.
Dade 243.
Floyd 1151.
Gordon 376.
Murray, (estimated) 300.

Three counties, Paulding, Poke and
Haralson give majorities l 261 against
Maddox, Paulding giving McGarrity a
email majority and the ethers possibly
giving Massey small majorities.
Maddox’s victory will go down in his
tory as one of the grandest political
achievements of any candidate and the
people showered congratulations on him
all luring the day.
The consolidated vote of Floyd county
shows that Maddox won a big plurality
over both his opponents and Brayan and
Sewall also won by a good majority.

district having gone democratic, and
Georgia having elected a full delegation
of democratic congressmen, they were
content to accept the situation.

NOW IT IS ALL OVER
Anil OM Georgia Remains True
To Democracy.
VERY LATESTBYTELEGRAPH
Some of the States Who Loyally Kept the
Faith and Some Who Failed To •
Do So Last Tuesday.
The Tribune has pumped every news source for the
most reliable returns in order to place before its readers
the most authentic facts. Those it has been able to secure
up to within a short time before going to press indicate
the election of McKinley and Hobart, but nothing like a
landslide.
Indiana, Kentucky, Wyoming, Oregon and Minnesota
are vehemently claimed by both Hanna and Jones, and
n othing short of actual account will determine to their
satisfaction the contrary. Both claim to be possessed of
facts to justify their belief in the election of both the dem
ocratic and republican candidates, though the face of the
unofficial returns.are unquestionably for McKinley and
Hobart.
Should this prove the case there is nothing in it that
should dishearten a true democrat. If the defeat is at
tributable to any misstep its past history proves that its
recovery is easily made. No bitter acrimony was devel
oped anywhere, and nothing but peacefulness character
ized the contest on Tuesday, which in itself is praise
worthy and shows how a great nation can be sharply
divided, and yet adjust their differences at the ballot-box.
At two o’clock this morning all unofficial returns from
the states give McKinley an electoral majority of 249
votes.
Official returns have not been made in any state, and
the rural precincts have invariably had the effect of reduc
ing the large republican majorities given by the cities as
first reported.
Indiana and Kentucky, with an aggregate electoral
vote of 28, are yet in doubt, with chances favoring Mc-
Kinley by small pluralities. Should the official count give
them to McKinley it would indicate his strength in the
college at 277.
It takes 224 electoral votes to elect.

GARRET A. HOBART, OF NEW JERSEY,
WILL CMOS MONDAY
THE NEWS FROM ATLANTA.
Atlanta, Nov. 4.—Next Monday
afternoon a caucus will be held for Uni
ted States senator. It is said that all the
canidates and their friends who are op
posed to Governor Atkinson had a cau
cus this afternoon but participants refuse
tonight to give out anything with re
gard to it. The members of both houses
have been coming today on all trains.
Hon. A. 8. Clay has stated he would
withdraw in favor of General Evans if
the others would.
In the smoking room of the .legislative
ha’.l this morning was posted the follow
ing:
For passes
via 80. R. R.
Apply to Albert Howell.
29| Whitehall street.
For Central Railroad
D. W. Appier.
Kimball House.
While it is customary for the railroads
to issue passes to legislators, the posting
of such a notice is somewhat unusual.
The policy of railroads counsel issuing
passes —as in case of the Southern—was
put in force by the Richmond and Dan
ville railroad when Hon. Pat Calhoun
was a candidate for United "States senate
against General John B. Gordon.
Colonel W. E. Spinks, of Dallas,
sends the following to the Constitu
tion: Dallas, Ga.. Nov. 4.—The Con
stitution. Atlanta, Ga : You have
played bell on your ante-election state
ments. I have lost both my hat and
breeches. W. E. Spinks.”
The most conservative estimate
now places the state’s returns in favor
of Bryan and Sewall by 25,000.
Bulletins here say McKinley slept
none last night and that President
Cleveland refused to talk, there are
many here who want him to run four
years hence one of them a prominent
Bryan man at that.
In the legislature today Felder, of
Fulton, introduced a bill providing
for the Australian ballot.
The two bouses met in joint srssion
and elected the judges and solicitors
nominated at the recent caucus for
such. A message from Washington,
D. C., says the next congress will hold
5 doubtful members, 11 populists and
independents, 32 democrats and 42
republicans. The senate about even
Iv divided, but with an anti-silver
sentiment.
KENTUCKY.
Louisville. Nov. 4 —Kentucky seems
safe for McKinley, though the majority
is close. In 1.265 precincts out of 1,663,
his plurality is 3.506.,
The counties not heard from are: Les
lie, Floyd, Johnson, Knott, Magoffin,
Pike, Butler, Greenup, Harrison, Jack
son. Owen and part of Henry.
These include some strong Republi
can as well us some strong silver coun
ties. but the heavy Republican sains

everywhere seem to make the state safe
for McKinley, although the result is
close.
Taking the estimate of the missing
counties, made several days ago by
Chairman Sommers of the Democratic
committee, the McKinley majority of
the missing vote is 1,238. This would
give the state to McKinley by 4,744.
The Democrats have elected six out
of 11 congressmen. They are Charles
K. Wheeler, First district; J. D. Clardy,
re-elected, Second district; John S
Rhea, Third district; David Smith,
Fourth district; Albert S. Berry, re
elected, Sixth district; Thomas Y. Fitz
patrick, Tenth district.
The Republicans lave Walter Evant
re-elected. Fifth district; Thomas Pugh,
Ninth district; B. M. Davison, Eighth
district, and David G. Colson, Eleventh
district. The result in the Twelfth be
tween W. C. P. Breckinridge and E, E.
Settle is yet in doubt.
The Republicans will have a majority
in the general assembly, thus assuring
the return of a United States senator to
succeed Senator J. O. S. Blackburn.
3. R. Orumbaugh (Rep.) succeeds
Senator J. I. Landes as eenator from
Christian and Hopkins counties.
George Nell (Rep.) will serve Clinton,
Crumton, Adair, Russell and Wayne
counties. The vacancy was caused by
the death of Senator E. M. Nell. R. P.
Stoll (Rep.) was elected in Lexington.
J. L. Mosely, whose home was in
Christian county. J. O. Napier (Rep.)
was also elected ia Garrett county. T.
R. Winship (Rep.) was elected in Adair
and Cumberland.
Larue was the only county in which
a silver Democrat was elected. Repre
sentative George Dieberth’s place was
filled in Campbell county by the elec
tion of a Republican. L. 0. Linney
(Rep.) was elected in the Thirty-eighth
district of this city, to the vacany cre
ated by Senator Weifsinger’s death. Th*
Republicans originally had 68 members.
They lost five by death and resignation,
and they gained seven. This gives them
70 votes on joint ballot.
An extra session will certainly be
held, for Governor Bradley has said so,
and his party will demand it. He will
probably be a candidate if he can jee
his way clear. Mr. St. John Boyle
claims the Republican nomination.
There is much talk, l>owever, of giving
the honor to Secretary John G. Carlisle.
INDIANA.
Indianapolis, Nov. 4.—Four hundred
out of the 3,116 precincts in Indiana,
outside of Marion county, (Indianapolis)
show a net Republican gain of 4,179, or
a little over ten to a precint. This ratio
of Republican gain has kept steadily up,
and if it continues it wiN give the state
to McKinley by over 80,000.
With such a heavy Republican vote
all over the state, the Republicans have
probably elected all the concrrsdonal
candidates, thouzh there is doubt about
Sulzer, in the Fourth district; Trace
well in the Third and Landis in thW
Ninth. There ie little doubt that John
son is elected in the Sixth. The Repub
licans will have a majority in the legts
tare, which the Rupublvau managers
place at 42 on ioi-it hd'ot. M-tri-m
