GEORGIA HOME JOURNAL. W. ADDISON KNOWLES, I’rop’r. VOLUME XIV-NUMBER 13 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., end Kansas city has I wen earned by the I it'iin„ iw for the find time In many yeais. Ml* HIM AN. Klate supposed to be very chiee, but pioiiebitilies point to Republican success. •>u returns from i tingles* iHiifWi*. aaw ma mi-suims. jiepv'i is Indus** tkal tier*# hue lawn a u choice for Governor, the vote being close. 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.

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. Tim Ijigiilaiure, Tilt Mate legislature met oil Wednes day laid.

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 kliis very week my third mowing of liav Is in progress. * Our people will be sure to heartily wel come these Northern visitors and will no doubt aid in every way those among them who may wish inforuution, etc., with a view to locating iii our midst. [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 gold, Tlie restriction of tlia coinage of ; silver by tli/Presideutcauses millions of dollars worth of silver bullion to be taken from ibis country to India yearly, where free cuiuage Is allow* il, ami this is anoth er eauee for eotton selling two and a half .euls lose than it would otliei wise, This I* wlist is done by our soealled Demo •Tailc i’lesident, ami until we get some one in bis place it will continue to be tlie ease. 1 do not moan an say anything against the houtli Uaruiiua henstni*, but it ta just a little peculiar that of three Si nelots hum the Month who voted j agatuet me on the ether question Hemp ton and Butler were two. Cleveland is carrying out the administration of the government more in favor of the Repub lican government and of Wall street tank ers ihan either Grant or Hayes dared to do. When I was nominated a few days ago, and it was proposed to indorse (he administration of Cleveland, I asked that it would not be done, because I objected to having his governing accepted and in dorsed by the same convention which nominated me.” UNION POINT. ....Farmers are rapidly bringing in their cotton.
