THELANDWELOVE
ELECTION RETURNS PROM ALL
OVER THE COUNTRY.
THE DEMOCRATS HOLD THE FORT, BUT
LOSE HEAVILY IN 80ME OF THE
DEBATABLE STATES.
The election on Tuesday was the most
important since that for the Presidency
in 1884, and will have a very pronounced
bearing on that of 1888.
Apart from the national parties that
fall into line on such an occasion, this
contest has given to every species of
crank, sorehead, malcontent, rum advo
cate, socialist, anarchist, nihilist and
other parasite the utmost play for his
indiosyncrasies and gymnastics, and it is
gratifying to find that they have all been
“sardined” away in the same box for
leisurely and permanent burial. It is
worthy of pai ticular mention that even in
the South —where all men who are affect
ed with common sense or liuman mem
ory know that the dethronement of the
Democratic party means the utter demo
lition of their own peace and happiness,
and that of their fellows —the sorehead
element stretched forth its gaunt arm
against the Democracy. It is needless
to remind any man who values the ro
spect of the community in which he lives
that to oppose the Democratic party on
mere grounds of soreheadism is delib
erately to perpetrate larceny upon one's
own prosperity —if one have any; and if
he have uone, he is assuring to himself
even less.
However, the political chipmunks will
have the figures of Tuesday’s election to
paste in their hats, and they can add up
the totals of the honest vote of the peo
ple in the interval before their next
burial.
GEORGIA.
The entire Demecratic delegation to
' Congress is elected. The vote was small
all over the State, and there was no op
position to any of the regular nominees
except in the Sixth district, and that was
nominal. T. M. Norwood, IT G. Turner,
E. F. Crisp, T. W. Grimes, John D. Stew
art. J. H. Blount, J. C. Clements, H. H.
Carlton, A. D. Candler and Geo. T.
Barnes will represent Georgia in the next
‘Congress.
NEW YORK CITY.
The interest of the election centered
on the result of the mayoralty contest
in the Metropolis, where the socialists,
anachists, so-called Knights of Labor and
revolutionists of every name set up
Henry George for the office of Mayor of
New York city. There were four candi
dates. Hewitt, Dem., received 90,296;
Koosevelt, Rep., 60,31)2; George, 07;699;
Hardwell, 574. Hewitt’s plurality, 23,597.
ILLINOIB.
In parts of Illinois the Labor party,
particularly in strong Democratic di
stricts, made a strong fight, and had
the effect of controlling the balance of
power. The returns from that State are
too meagre for calculation, but the con
test lias been apparently a close one.
The Labor party above alluded to is not
the Knights of Labor, but the United
Labor party, quite a different order.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Andrew, Democrat, carries Boston by
;8,500 majority. It is probable that Ames,
Republican, has carried the State by less
than '5,000, if indeed it has not gone
Democratic by a very small excess. No
returns have been received from the Con
gressional vote, but if the State is very
close, as the reports indicate, the Demo
crats have probably gained a Congressman
at least.
south caholina.
The full delegation of Democrats from
South Carolina were elected on a light
vote, except Elliott in the Seventh (Black
District). The returns make the contest
close in that district, with some chance
for Elliott. The district has been repre
sented by Smalls (negro) for several terms.
Democratic majority in the State large
enough.
MISSISSIPPI.
Mississipi returns the usual delegation
of Democrats. In the second district
Judge Morgan is elected by a large ma
jority over Gen. Chalmers, who was sup
ported by the Greenbackers, Independ
ents, negroes and Republicans. Iu the
Third (Black) district there is opposition,
also, but it is believed the Democratic can
didate is elected by a good majority.
NEW YORK STATE.
The returns indicate the election of 15
Democrats and 19 Republicans to Con
gress. The State ticket is in doubt ac
cording to the meagre returns. Later
returns indicate that the State has gone
Democratic.
TENNESSEE.
Bob Taylor, the Democratic brother of
Alf Taylor the Republican, has carried
the State over the latter by about 20,000
majority, the largest in several years.
The Congressional delegation will be 8
Democrats and 2 Republicans.
KENTUCKY.
About the usual Democratic majority
on a light vote, and the same solid Dem
ocratic delegation to Congress. Carlisle,
(present speaker), however is far behind
his former strength and if re-elected will
.show a very small majority
MOUTH C'AHOI.INA.
The result In this State is much befog
ged owing to strong and mixed opposi
tion in several districts, but the delega
tion, to Congress will probably remain as
at present. The State Democratic ticket
Is undoubtedly elected.
OHIO.
Frank Hurd is defeated by an increased
majority, and the Republicans elect near
ly three-fourths of the Congressmen,
The vote in the euUre Mate wilf probably
allow the usual Republican majority,
MtaeouMi.
The Democrats carried Ik out of It dis
tricts. Warner, present GoiiyrMiman,
Republican, is defeated by I'bllllps, Dem.,

One Democrat and one Republican elect
ed to Congress.
LOUISIANA.
A walk-over for the Democrats, who
carry every Congressiona district. There
was opposition in many places. New
Orleans gives 4,000 majority for I.ogan,
Dem., for Congress, over Hero, Repub
lican.
Virginia.
The present Congressmen stand 8
Democrats to 2 Republicans. The Repub
licans have made gains all over the State.
The new delegation will probably be 4
Democrats aud 6 Republicans.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The State went Republican by about
35,000, a loss of 48,000 since 1884. The
delegation to the next Congress will be
largely Republican, showing gains for
that party.
IOWA.
Returns indicate a Republican majority
in the State of about 8,500. The Demo
crats, however, claim it by the same fig
ures. At least three Democratic Con
gressmen are elected, with three in doubt.
INDIANA.
The Democrats seem to have carried
the State by a small majority. Both
parties claim the State. The Democrats
have probably elected eight Congress
men.
TEXAS.
The Democratic ticket in Texas is
elected by about 100,000 majority on a
light vote, and a full Democratic repre
sentation in Congress has been chosen.
NEBRASKA.
The Republican State ticket elected by
about 25,000 majority. The first district
elects a Democrat to Congress, according
to the latest advices. This is a gain.
FLORIDA.
Everything serene in Florida. Both
Congressmen re-elected by increased
majorities over opponents who were cred
ited with considerable popularity.
MINNESOTA.
Meagre returns, but probably gone Re
publican by 10,000. This State was for
merly good for 50,000 majority at any
time.
ARKANSAS.
Only Congressmen were elected. There
was opposition in two districts, but the
Democrats return a solid phalanx to
Congress.
WEST VIRGINIA.
The only returns thus far from this
State indicate the re-election of Goff, Re
publican, by an increased majority.
CONNECTICUT.
Probably gone Democratic by a small
majority, and the Domocrats gain a Con
gressman in the First district.
UTAH.
Republican, of course.
RECAPITULATION.
As far as can be judged by the very
scattering election news received it is cal
culated that the next Congress will be
Democratic by a reduced majority. Loss
es have balanced gains in unexpected
places, and vice versa. It will be several
days before definite results will be known.
The Latest.
The latest returns show the next Con
gress to stand as follows:
Democrats 166 V
Republicans 153
Labor 5
Total 324
Democratic maj. over all 8
Later returns will probably increase
this majority.
Thanksgiving.
The following is President Cleveland’s
proclamation designating November 25
as a day of thanksgiving and prayer:
A proclamation by the President of the
United States: It has long been the cus
tom of the people of the United States,
on a day in each year especially set apart
for that purpose by their chief executive,
to acknowledge the goodness and mercy
of God, and to invoke his continued care
and protection. In the observance of
such custom, I, Grover Cleveland, Presi
dent of the United States, do hereby des
ignate and set apart Thursday, the' 25th
day of November instaut, to be observed
and kept as a day of thanksgiving and
prayer. On that day let all our people
forego their accustomed employments
and assemble in their usual places of
worship, to give thanks to the Ruler of
the universe for our continued enjoy
ment of the blessings of a free govern
ment, for a renewal of business prosper
ity throughout our land, for the return
which has rewarded the labor of those
who till the soil, and for our progress as
a people in all that makes a nation great,
and while we contemplate the infinite
power of God in earthquakes, flood and
storm, let the grateful hearts of those
who have been shielded from harm
througli His mercy be turned in sympa
thy and kindness toward those who have
suffered through His visitation. Let us
also, in the midst of our thanksgiving,
remember the poor and needy witli cheer
ful gifts and alms, so that our services
may, by deeds of charity, be acceptable
in the sight of the Lord,
In witness whereof I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the Uni
ted States to be affixed. Done at the
city of Washington, this, the first day of
November, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and eighty-six,
and of the independence of the United
States of America the one hundred and
eleventh. Grove tt Cleveland.

DEVOTED TO THE GENERAL WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE.
GREENESBORO. GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 5.* 1886-EIGHT PAGES.
| y A MIKADO TEAN^
AN ELEGANT ENTERTAINMENT AT THE
HAMILTON TERRACES.
The Mikado Tea given at Union Point
on last Friday evening for the benefit of
the new Academy was a grand success
in every respect and exceeded the ex
pectations of all in the amount realized.
The tea was served at Hamilton Ter
races, and its pleasure was greatly en
hanced by tho untiring hospitality of Mr.
and Mrs. J. F. Hart. The hotel—with
its elegant parlors, sitting rooms and cor
ridors—was thrown open to the visitors,
and the ladies vied with eacli other in
making the pleasure unbounded.
The young ladies who assisted in the
tea were dressed in Mikado costumes,
and as the guest moved among them he
could well imagine himself on the soil of
the Celestials.
“GOING TO JAPAN”
was a unique and original part of the en
tertainment. A room of the hotel was
fitted up in Japanese style, with fans,
parasols and lanterns pendant from the
walls and ceilings. Entering the door
two beautiful young ladies—queenly Ja
panese—served the visitor with olives and
meat ala Japan, and at a second table
cake, tea and a candy rat to finish, com
pleted the trip beyond the Pacific, and
the entertainment which one wouid re
ceive in the genuine Mikado's home.
IN THE DINING HALL
a sumptuous supper was spread of oys
ters. meats, ices and cakes, to which full
justice was done and which were served
in handsome style to the stream of guests
pouring in. The eatables were discours
ed. we might say, with the greatest pleas
ure. The guests, after thus refreshing
themselves, moved here and there about
the parlors and along the colonades, pass
ing the hours in pleasant conversation.
THE FAN DRILL
given on the front balcony revealed a
perfect bevy of beauties, armed with the
lady’s victorious weapon, “the fan.”
They retreated, advanced, were scornful,
were pleading, coquettish, were every
thing beautiful, keeping perfect time,
and bringing fortli cheers from the guests
by the many lovely movements executed.
THE GREENE RIFLES,
in their handsome uniforms, were pres
ent as the guests of their courtly Captain,
Hon. John C. Hart. By request they
executed the manual of arms in a most
creditable manner, showing much im
provement even over their drill in
Grcenesboro.
By this time the guests had all been
fed; the dining hall was cleared, and the
inspiriting strains of a string band set all
alive for the pleasures of the dance. This
continued with brightness and enjoyment
until the small hours of the morning.
At this time the Greene Rifles were
drawn up in front of the hotel by Lieut.
Edward Young, and three cheers were
proposed for the people of Union Point,
their generous hospitality, the royal en
tertainment they had given, and a ‘Tiger’
for tlie gallant Captain. The cheers were
given with a will by the company and by
all the guests, and the Home Journal
joins them now again with additional
force.
The citizens of Union Point know ex
actly how to make an entertainment
pleasant, and the one on Fridav evening
was perfect. Those who attended are in
ecstacies —those who did not attend miss
ed ail evening of rare enjoynfent.
[Milledgeville Chronicle.]
The School of Technology.
Editors Chronicle :
The school of Technology is located in
Atlanta. Asa working man, and one
who hoped to send his hoy to the school,
we are sorry. Farmers’ and mechauics’
sons are the ones who must patronize the
school; they are the ones the school is
intended for, but the location at Atlanta
bars us out. It is now a pet school for
Atlanta. Her boys can go to it, but we
working men are served with notice now,
by the act of location, that it is no school
of ours. We are not able to send our
boys there if we would, and we would
not send them there if we were able. It
is well enough for those parents who live
there, but for those who live outside, we
cannot do it. Atlanta must admit she is
metropolitan in prices and temptations,
as well as in everything else, and we don’t
care to send our boys there. Atlanta says
board is cheap, if you want it; but"a
boarding house in Atlanta under $lB or
S2O per month is one we don’t want our
boy to go to. The commissioners are
“honorable men,” but they have over
looked we common folks. They are hon
orable men, and did not mean to make a
mistake, but they have done so for all
that, and we put them on notice, and we
put Atlanta on notice now, that our boy
will never attend the Atlanta technolog
ical school. The Atlanta school—not
Georgia’s school. We, the farmers, me
chanics and workingmen, have no part or
parcel in it. It is none of ours, and we
will own none of it. Not one cent more
for it, by the State of Georgia, shall
now be our battle cry from Sickojack to
Tyiiee light. The wealthy men of Atlan
ta, who have nothing in common with
(lie school, have forced it there, hoping
to add value to their property and in
crease their wealth. We may be mista
ken, hut our heart throbs on the same as
our fellow workman’s heart throbs.
What lie feels, we feel, When we stand
up and tell him of work and sweat and
toil, he knows what it means; when we
stand up and say we have no jiart or par
cel in the Atlanta technological school,
our fellow workman knows find feels the
same, The honorable comuiissionera
have made a fearful mistake. The State
of Georgia’s technological school died
when the deciding vote was cast. Atlan
ta may run it for Atlanta, hut as an hum
ble citizen, as a working mail, as one who
hoped to lie able to send his Imiv to
school, we say now, our every effort shall
lie spent, all we can do in our humble
sphere, we will do to never contribute
one dollar to the Atlanta school. Who
pays taxes for its suport when we have
no part In It f We will not do it, la our
humble opinion. Wohkinoman.

ON TO GEORGIA I X
THE GREATEST AND LATEST TOUR OF
NORTHERN EXCURSIONISTS.
Next Wednesday, the 10th, an excur
sion of Northerners to Georgia will leave
Salamanca, N. Y., for Atlanta, and thence
to Greenesboro. The visitors will also
make a cursory trip to Charleston, S. C\,
and other points.
iMr. E. D. Northrop, in a circular is
sued to the people of the North, has
many kind things to sar of us. Among
other things, the circular says :
Thousands will linger in the North
and die who might find health, happiness
and life in Georgia.
Thousands “go west” far away from
markets, shut in by long routes and
heavy railroad tariffs, exposed to far
greater heat in summer and far greater
cold in winter, when the best part of the
temperate zone, with fine markets and
unnumbered conveniences and comforts,
is much nearer in Georgia.
\ Look upon the map; compute the par
raliels of latitude, and remember that the
State of Georgia is only 445 miles further
south than Cattaraugus County!
Remember that no person ever died or
ever will die of heat or sunstroke in Geor
gia.
Remember that you will find a mild
and bracing climate, pure oxygen, lovely
sunrises and sunsets, that tongue or
pen cannot depict; beautiful skies, aud a
thousand beauties never dreamed of here.
Remember that the beat there is never
so great as here, and when warmest there,
fresti, cool breezes always blow, mid the
nights are always cool aud refreshing.
Consumption or rheumatism never
originated in Greeueshoro, and existing
cases are always helped or cured if peo
ple will go and remain there.
It is a by-word there, that whoever
remains there twelve months will never
bo willing to return North to live.
Asthma vanishes as soon as the suf
ferer breathes the air of Georgia.
A portion of my family have remained
in Greenesboro since November 9, 1885,
in perfect health, and my boys have de
veloped groigth and strength in a sur
prising degree.
f If you wish to live where you will not
kliear an oath from a Southerner’s lips in
[a year, to live among an affectionate,
(generous, kind and true-hearted people—
(sober and brave, where every Northern
'crop nourishes, and many other produc
tions unknown to our climate reward the
farmer, do not neglect this rare
opportunity to go and see for yourselves.
The excursion will reach Georgia be
fore the cotton picking season is over.
If all those who desire an even, milder
climate, and who wish to remove from
the over-populated North could see aud
realize the advantages of the Empire
Slate of the South, the State of Georgia
would Le dotted over with growing col
onies.
Already tho famous bermuda hay of
Georgia is outranking Northern hay in
the New York city market, for by actual
[test it will keep a team in equaUy as
good condition with a third less grain
.and has no tendency to cause heaves in
horses. From three to five tons of hay
[from an acre is the annual yield, and

Is in progress. *
Our people will be sure to heartily wel

no doubt aid in every way those among
them who may wish inforuution, etc.,

[Now York World.]
A Political Jeremiah.
Congressman Tillman delivered a cam
paign Speech recently at Johnson, which
has caused a sensation throughout the
State. Col. Tillman began by expressing
the wish that he could talk cheerfully to
the people, but, said he, “If I did you
would know I lied. You know that the
political and industrial horizon is not
bright. If I could but impress one thing
on your minds today I would think that
I had done a great work. Thafone thing
is, quit paying so much attention to petty
State and county politics and turn your
eyes towards Washington, the seat of pow
er. Ido not hesitate to say that the
election of your seven Congressmen and
two Senators is often a thousand times
more important than the election of Rep
resentatives to the State Legislature.
The State has no power, can do nothing
except what Congress chooses to tolerate.
Look at your judiciary. It lias practical
ly the power now which was vested in the
trial justice courts before the war. Your
Governor is on the same footing. He
lias no more power than the sheriff before
war, the only practical difference being
that the sheriff used to hang criminals
and now the Governor pardons them.
The United States government has usurp
ed all the power once vested in the
State.”
The speaker went on to say that cot
ton brought eight cents now, when it
costs ten cents to make it. He stated
that times were harder now than when
President Cleveland was inaugurated.
“Why is this?” he asked. “I maintain
that it is through the mismanagement of
President Cleveland. We made a very
unwise nomination and election when we
placed him in office, but now we must
make the most of it. When Cleveland
was elected 1 thought we were goiug to
have a white man’s government, but
Cleveland still keeps 700 negroes in fat
offices in Washington, is still appointing
them when there are hundreds of our
yeomeu who would l>e glad to have the
places. He appoints them with the
curses of every prominent Democrat in
the District of Columbia. 1 maintain
that President Cleveland has not given
us legislation any more than he has riven
us our share of offices, outside of run
ning Republican office-holders in South
Carolina, lie lias done notliiug for the
,South. The sum total of his actions in
our favor has been running these Repub
lican officers. Cleveland is the cause of
the present industrial depression through
out the country. ile has caused it by
holding the taxes iu the Treasury, war
ring on silver and refusing what the law
demands ami allows—to have the debt#
l of the couutry paid iu eilvar instead of
