Estill 35 Counties.. 86 Votes Dupont Guerry 22 Counties 66 Votes Total of votes in convention 350. Necessary to elect 176. From the most reliable sources and from official returns received by The Journal from the various counties to date, the nomination of Hon. J. M. Ter rell for governor is a certainty. He is absolutely certain of at least 198 votes in th* convention. ' . . The race was a remarkable one in every respect and many were the surprises Hundreds of people were of the opinion that Guerry would double the Estill vote whereas Estill has beaten Guerry. the Macon man running third in the race. Guerry carried Bibb county by several hundred majority, after a count lasting from • o'clock at night until noon next day. It looked for a time as if the Macon man would lose out In his home county.- ... Col. EsttH polled a tremendous scattering vote throughout the state, as did Guerry. but neither of the two men got enough votes to carry the necessary number of counties. _ . _ In many counties the result was exceedingly close. In Thomas county Guer ry won out by a majority of two votes while in several counties Estill won by nine votes and Terrell did the same thing. Hundreds of people were sur prised at the close vote In many of the counties. Several of the counties have not yet made official returns, but private tele grams to the various headquarters give their vote. The Guerry and Estill men are claiming a deadlock and say that Terrell cannot be nominated. Thoma* Eason won In the race by a big majority. All the votes are not in as yet on this race and as a result his exact majority cannot be determined. It is the general view, however, that he has secured 188 votes so far against the gg williams. Eason never doubted his election and was confident throughout ,h *G *R was defeated for state school commissioner by W. B. Merritt. All the returns received by The Journal indicate the election of Merritt, though Johnston and Glenn are claiming a dead lock. From the looks of things, now, however, it looks like Merritt will be nominated on the first ballot / O. B. Stevens, commissioner of agriculture, defeated JI. T. Nisbet badly. Ste vens carried 134 counties of the 137. . . Byron Bower, Jr„ was defeated by John D. Harrell for in Decatur eOU ß»land Kilis was defeated for the house in Bibb, and therefore will not figure in the race for speaker ot the house. Asmon Murphey, a well known pho hibitionlst was beaten In Pike county for the legislature by E. M. Owen. The congressional race in the Tenth district has resulted in the election of Hon T W. Hardwick over Congressman Fleming. Charles L Branan was badly defeated in the Fifth district by Congressman Wright. Secretary of State Cook. State Treasurer Park. A wools »e« Justice Lumpkm and Cobb of the supreme court were re-elected with out opposition. Congressmen Lester. Howard, Adamson; Griggs. Brantley. Mad dox.

There will be no deadlock* in the convention. a« all the winning candidate* will have enough votes to elect them on the first ballot. Merritt s majority is even larger today than it was thought yesterday, while the Terrell rote is cut down two. O. B. Ste vens carried every county in the state, with the exception of Bibb. Early and Chattahoochee. The result «f the primary, showing the ■*, number of votes for<each candidate, now stands as follows: For Governor— Joseph M. Terrell 1* J. H.

SO WHI lams 4-. « The state convention will meet here in July for the purpose of making the for mal nominations. Owing to the large ma jorities which the winning candidates have, the nominations will no doubt be made unanimous in every particular. The general election will occur on the fl rat Wednesday tn October, at which time the nominees will be voted for. Congressman Fleming, of the tenth dis trict. has conceded that T. William Hard wick. of Washington, defeated him for congress. The election of Hardwi’k was a big surprise to the people of Georgia, as for a while things looked decidedly blue for him . go far there have been no charges of fraud at any of the election places in the counties, though the Augusta Herald says that money was freely scattered in Au gust*.

NEW YORK. June 7.—A state conven tion of the Liberal Democratic party which endorses the Chicago and Kansas City platforms was held here today to nominate a state ticket. The nominations will secure place on the official ballot by petition, as the party had no ticket in the field at the last election. Rev. Dr. Llvinston, of Gouverneur, N. Y.. men tioned the name <of the late John P. Alt geld in his prayer, and the name was ap plauded. The permanent chairman, Judge Samuel Seabury, said the Republican par ty had been the chief actor In encourag ing monopply and that the Democratic party should be the chief factor in pro viding a remedy. Jay W. Forrest, of Albany, devoted much of his speech to David B. Hill. Among other things he said: "It is time for real Democrats to raise their voices when we can read In all the newspapers from one end of the state to the other that the reorganisation.of the Democratic forces In the state has been placed in the hands of men who in 1896 had not a word to sav for the greatest banner bearer the Democratic party has had for forty years. Democracy never needed reorganisation until David B. Hill came Into It.” The platform re-affirms the Kansas City platform and condemns David B. Hill as a traitor. Edgar L. Ryder, a Westchester county attorney, was nominated for governor. That the convention’ was anti-H!.l and pro-Bryan could not be mistaken, fer the walls of the assembly room were deco rated with the pictures of Bryan, kdth in scriptions as follows: “I am a Democrat, Is not so good as actual battling for Democratic principles.” Another placard bore the words: “Down with Hill.” The convention consisted of members of the old populist party in the state, Chicago Democrats and Bryan men. A platform declaring for the 1898 principles’ direct nomination by voters and the’gov ernment ownership of transportation com panies was adopted.

HOPENOTLDST FOR JUSTICE BI JUBI IT IS BELIEVEp THAT RECIP ROCITY WILt EVENTUALLY WIN, THOUGH IT LOOKS VERY GLOOMY NOW. P- Copyright 1902 by N. Y. Herald. WASHINGTON, D. C., June T. —It is be lieved that Cuban reciprocity will event ually win although the outlook la not very encouraging Just at thia stage. The Republican Relators who have the matter in charge seurned to be convinced that they wHI be finely able to command enough votes to carry out the program of passing a bill providing for a 20 per cent reduction, to be in effect for five years, and they expect to secure ithe necessary Repub lican votes. The sajpe confidence Is ex pressed by the leader* In the House. The assertion Is mqjde by the beet sugar men that no measuse for the relief of Cuba can pass the swnate without the as sistance of the Demodrats.They are stand ing out for the rebatfr proposition. In many quarters ft Is believed that the beet sugar men are rwtkfng and have made . greater claims than tney can substantiate. They have Senator Pxlchard.of North Car olina on their list, Mit he declares he Is with the administration. It Is said that there are others on' the beet sugar list who are with the administration. The beet sugar men assert that 15 Re publicans will stand together against recl- I*ocity, but the Republican senatorial cau cus, which will be held before the bill is reported, Is qplte certain to have a har monising effect and to weaken materially the beet sugar defection When all Is said add done no Immediate settlement Is in sight! The administration is earnest In its efferts to give relief to Cuba and it believes that better results In harmonizing matters tan be attained if it moves slowly. On th| other hand the beet sugar men are marang and have made They have Senator Prichard of North Car olina on their list, but he declares he Is ever, that the administration will event ually win out.

CLEVELAND, June 7.—Three trainers attached animal show had a thrilling experience here today with their savage pets, and as a result one man, the Hon trainer, Joseph McPhee, is fatally injured with great holes in his abdomen by the teeth of a Hon. The others irijured are Herman Wedder, whose right leg was badly crushed by a bear, and Mme. Morelli, whose side was lacerated by a leopard. The animals had traveled from this city and were surly and ugly. Wedder enter ed the cage of a big bear which received him with a swipe of his Immense paw, knocking him to the floor with her paw and pouncing upon him, fastened the teeth into his right leg, tearing off so large a chunk as to make necessary, sur geons say, amptita’tlon of the injured limb. A leopard leaped upon Mme. Morelli's shoulder and lacerated her right arm se verely. Mme. Morelli was lying on the floor when the attendants came to her assistance and with pikes drove the ani mal off. The Hon tamer, McPhee, was watching the transfer of the Hons from the car to their cage and because they refused to move promptly, he entered the cage. He had hardly entered before a great beast leaped upon him, pinioning him to the floqr. The Hon placed his great paws upon the fallen man's breast and tore his right leg In a fearful manner, the tendons be ing pulled from the bone. The efforts of the attendants to drive the Hon off with pikes had no ‘effect and seemed only to infuriate him the more, for he quickly pushed bls big Jaws and sharp teeth Into McPhee's abdomen, and when he released his hold the trainer’s abdomen was torn so greatly that his en trals were in sight. The Hon was Anally driven off and McPhee removed from the cage.

JUDGE MADDOX SAYS ANARCHISM MUST DIE WASHINGTON. June 6.—Representative Maddox, of Georgia. Thursday spoke against the feature of the anti-anarchy bill which is under discussion in the house of representatives. He said he wanted a bill to protect the president, but did not think foreign ambassadors should be pro tected by special legislation as proposed in the bill. The main part of his argument was a plea for legislation for the suppres sion of anarchists before they had a chance to kill the president. Everybody who taught disloyalty to the nation, he declared, should be run out of the country as well as those who were opposed to law and order. He will vote for the bill if it is amended in these par ticulars. He expressed the sentiments of the Georgia delegation in his speech.

ENGLAND GIVES KITCHENER 50,000 LBS. LONDON, June 6.—ln accordance with King Edward’s message to the house of commons Wednesday, government lead er (Mr. A. J. Balfour), in the house yes terday asked for a vote of £50,000 to Lord Kitchener. As a remarkable coin cidence, parliament June 0, three years ago, voted its thanks and £30,000 to the same general for his services in Egypt. Mr. Balfour, In supporting the motion, referred to Lord Kitchener’s rapid pro motion! He said it had been given to few public servants to compass so much work for their country In so short a time as. Lord Kitchener, who besides being com mander in chief in South Africa, was commander in chief reslgnate of India. ,He found the army in South Africa in a state es disorganisation or dislocation con sequent on the ill-success which attended the British arms at the early state of the campaign and he executed his duty with admirable energy and skill. But It was not until Lord Roberts left that the claims of Lord Kitchener to the gratitude of his countrymen reached their present magni tude. Lord Kltcrtener had to meet with unique difficulties. He had erected no fewer than 4.000 miles of blockhouses, and In the conduct of the campaign had shown the fertile range of his resources, bound less courage,' energy and resolution and to these qualities Great Britain owed the termination of the war. Few English gen erals had contended with greater difficul ties and few had emerged from them In a more triumphant and brilliant way. Mr. Balfour, concluded with formally moving the vote of £50,000. The liberal leader. Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, who seconded the motion, paid a warm tribute to Lord Kitchener, as a soldier and statesman.

It is estimated by the committee repre senting the measure that it may fairly be urged that the establishment of this for est preserve in the region of the southern Appalachian mountains is a matter of great national Importance and that a pe culiar condition existing In this region, the establishment of this reserve need not necessarily be accepted for the estab lishment of similar reserves elsewhere in the east. Mr. pepew said the project was favored by President Roosevelt and by the secre tary’ of agriculture and federal action was justified by public necessity. He said the most favorable results might have exist ed from the establishment of the preserve. He said that within ten years the great hardwood forests In the proposed preserve would be destroyed entirely. Such a re sult would be disastrous to the states af fected, and to the entire country. At the conclusion of Mr. Depew’s re marks, Mr. Hale said that the senate could not fall to be impressed by the great im portance of the subject. He had not been aware of the extent of the land to be pur chased. and thought that some action ought to be taken upon the matter at this session. London Dock Charges. The senate then begun the consideration of the measure comonly known as the London dock charges bill. Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, in support of the bill, said charges made at the London docks against American flour, principally, were a dis crimination against the United States. In response to an inquiry from Mr. McCum ber as to what guaranty the shippers of this country would have In the event of the limitation of the London dock charges that the Atlantic freight rates would be increased, Mr. Nelson replied that there was no guaranty and could be none. The shippers would have to take their chances on that. The steamship trust, organised by J. Pierpont Morgan, he said, might raise the freight charges. That was not to be prevented by the pending bill. “God deliver us from trusts,” declared Mr. Nelson. "That is a matter which we will have to take care of later on.” olneTboom STARTED IT MEMPHIS MASSACHUSETTS MAN NAMED BY TENNESSEE DEMOCRATS FOR PRESIDENTIAL CANDI DATE.
