THE AMENDMENTS.
THEIR PATE 13 NOT YET KNOWN
IN GEORGIA.
TIIE RETURNS NOT IN,
DON'T FEAR-COMPETITION CAN T DOWN ffi
A CANDID ADMISSION IS ALL I ASK.
And No Consolidation Has Been Made
by Any Paper—The Chances are
Against Them, Especially
the Last One.
Tbc vote on the amendments has not
yet been consolidated by any paper and
their fate is not yet known.
In tbe beat of politioal excitement
they have been lott sight of, but in a
few dajB tbe result will be known.
In .Richmond and Chatham tbe scales
turned In favor of the amendments,
while in Bibb and Clarke they got
black eye.
The vote in Clarke was as follows:
1st amendment: for ratification 114,
agftinst 443. This amendment is in
favor of annual sessions of tbe General
Assembly.
2d amondment: for ratification 198,
against 220. This amendment is to
make tbe session of tbe Legislature
fifty days in length.
:td amendment: for ratification SOS
against 28. This amendment provides
for reading bills first and second times
by caption only.
4th amendment: for ratification 20,
against 549. This amendment was to
vest in the Secretary of State
the power to grant charters to
Railroads, Banking, insurance, Navi
gation, Express and Telegraph com
panies. The position of the Banner in
regard to the amendments was fully
vindicated at the polls Wednesday so
far as Clarke caunty is concerned.
The vote of Bibb county was as fol
lows :
Ratification amendir g the length of
session of the legislature—for 178,
agaiust 1,002.
To limit the session to fifty days, for
199; against, 1,037.
For first and second reading of bills
for, 128; against, 1,490.
Amendment authorizing secretary of
state to issue charters to various corpo
rations, for, 128; against, 1,767,
It is believed that the first, second
and fourth amendments have been lost
and that the third has been caaried.
Tbe full reports on tbe amendments
will be in hand in a few days.
But very little attention was paid to
tbe amendments on election day, and
tbe vote on them was very light.
IN THE TENTH DISTRICT.
The Augusta Chronicle Points to the
Election of Black.
The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday
in commenting upon tbe result of th<
State election says:
Tho splendid majority of Richmond
li9s inspired Democrats throughout the
district and conviuced them that they
will not be fighting in vain in contest
ing every inch with third party ag'
gression. Richmond has redeemed her
promise of three thousand Democratic
maj >i ity and thrown in five hundred
for good measur.-. In Novembsr
a thousand votes votes will easily be
added to Wednesday’s figures and we
do not believe Mr. Watson will poll any
stronger vote then than the Third party
did Wednesday. He will make a des
perate effort, and will let nothing stand
in the way, but he is fighting a losing
battle and the great Democratic major
ity of Wednesday has sealed his fate
and carried consternation among his
supporters. By scores they will return
to Democracy’s standard, and Major
Black will be triumphantly elected
the next congress.
But the same event which has flung
its pall of disappointment and dismay
over the Third party has been an mspi
ration to Democrats, and they enter the
next months canvass with the energy
and enthusiasm bora of confidence.
Every day will add to their strergth as
it detracts from the Third party, and by
N'.vember the grouad swell will be ab
solutely resistless.
There is a great work before the Dem
ocrats of this district for the next thirty
days, and every man must do bis duty.
In Lincoln, Columbia, McDullie and
Wai ron there can be no doubt that many
illegal votes were cast for the Third
party, and every one of these must be
gone over and thrown out where it can
be shown that tbe voter is a delinquent
taxpayer or was for other reasons dis
qualified to vote.
Reduced to a basis of legal votes the
Third party will not be able to poll sucb
majorities as are now credited to Co
lumbia and Lincoln, while with a regis
try list of 8,000 in Richmond Maj.
Black will receive about 5,000majority,
which it will be impossible to overcome
with the Third party vote.
All other contests are ended now, and
the only fight of interest in Georgia is
to defeat Watson. The eyes of the coun
try are on this district and county and
Richmond will give a good account of
herself in November.

GEORGIA’S GLORY.
rHB PEOPLE OF GEORGIA ARE RE
JOICING OVER THE
DEFEAT OF THIRD PARTY.
The Majority Will be About Sixty-
Seven Thousand—Hon. M.P. Reese
May be Blected—Franklin Goes
Wrong—Democrats Jubilant*
IT WILL BE CONTESTED.
The Friends of Bob Miller are Not
Satisfied With Oconee’s Vote.
There is no doubt that the election in
Oconee will be contested, and from
those who seem to know the sitoation,
they will make out a strong case, not
only on tbe change of the voting place
at Farmington, but on illegal voters on
the Third party side. The contest will
open very soon, and it will be a hot case.

The great victory of the Democracy
is tbe only theme of conversation now.
It went so tar beyond tbe most sanguine
expectations of its friends that Georgia
is overflowing with Democratic enthu
siasm.
Despite the defection in the ranks
caused by tbe Third party, and also the
fact that no Republican ticket was in
the field, the Democracy swept by the
majority it gave Cleveland by over
seven thousand votes.
The returns of yesterday did not vary
those published in yesterday’s Banner
more than three thousand, and with
complete and official returns, the ma
jority will be about sixty-seven thous
and.
The Third party carried only ten
counties in tbe State, and seven of those
were in the Tenth district. The Third
party will not have over fifteen repre
sentative out of one hundred and sev
enty-five and not more than two Sena
tors out of forty-four.
The defeat of Judge Columbus Heard
of Greene, for tbe Senate is about a set
tled fact, bat it is reliably reported that
the full returns from Wilkes will over
balance the combined Third party vot<
of Lincoln, McDuffie and Columbia,
and eleot Hon. Milton P. Reese as the
next Senator.
Franklin county goes for the Third
party by about eighty majority, bu
there is talk of contesting the election
There is also talk of contesting the elec
tion m Oconee.
Jackson county remains in the Dem
ocratic ranks by ninety-six majority.
The Democracy rallied in grand style
at the capitol last night. Great enthu
siasm was prevalent, especially when
Governor Northen spoke.
Now for a sweeping victory for
Cleveland and el even Di mooiatic con
gressmen.
HON. MILTON P. REESE.
is the Next Senator From His DIs-
trlet.
One of the hottest fights of the State
campaign has been over the Senatorahip
of the 29tb district, composed of the
counties of Wilkes, Columbia, McDuffie
and Lincoln.
Hon. M. P. .Reese, of Wilkes, was the
Democratic nominee and was opposed
by Mr C. E. Ramsey, of Wilkes. Tht
counties of McDuffl >, Columbia and
Linooln are airong Third party, and
from the returns of these oounties, it
was eeen that Ramsay had carried them
by fourteen hundred and eighty-three
majority. It was about conceded at
headquarters that Reese had been de
feated until tbe returns from Wilkes
came in, giving Reese a majority of fif
teen hundred and thirty-seven votes, or
a majority of 64 votes in the entire dic-
This leaves the Third party with
only one Senator ont of forty-four, and
he is Mr. J. L. Smith, of Greene, wbo
INDIANA DEMOCRATIC
And so is Illinois—An Interesting In
terview on Politics.
There is little doubt but that the Na
tional election in November will result
just as favorable for Democracy as
Wednesday’s contest did for tba State
of Georgia.
A gentleman from Indiana is stop
ping at the Toomer Housa. who has
been closely identified with the politics
of the State for many years, and cat
judge accurately of the situation there
In speaking of tbe campaign yesterday
he said:
‘‘Indiana is just as certain to go Dem
ocratic as Georgia is, and I don’t thin!
there can be any doubt about Illinois,
“When Benjamin Harrison ran fot
Governor of Indiana he was defeated b
over 100,000 majority, tbe largest ma
jority ever polled against a State can
didate. He carried the State four years
ago by only a little over 2,000. This
was accomplished only through the
agency of “blocks of five/’ and the ex
penditures of $500,000. In every con
test, county, congressional and State
since then we have gone Democratic by
overwhelming majorities. Tbe State of
Indiana is today Democratic in any con
test that can be sprung. Judge
Gresham, one of the best men on earth,
has declared for Cleveland, and the re
sult of bis action wiU be thousands of
votes cast for Democracy that would
otherwise have gone for tbe Republi
cans. Yes sir, Indiana is going Demo
cratic, fox they haven’t got another
$5,000 to spend there to carry the State
against its ticket, and they couldn’t do
it if they did."
Continued the Indianian, “Judge
Gresham’s influence will be nearly as
great m Illinois as in Indiana, and that
State will bIbo go for Cleveland. This
is what I know, and I am willing to
back my judgment with every cent
have got.”

THE FLORIDA ELECTION.
Returns Show That Mitchell Is Elected
by -5.000 Majority.
Jacksonville, Oct. 7.—Reports have
been received from every county in the
state, and from actual returns, coupled
with careful, conservative estimates,
show that Mitchell (Democrat) has a ma
jority in all ranging from 3,000 in Hills
borough (his home county) to 20 in
Baker, where the third party hoped for
a victory by 100 majority. The footings
of the estimoted majorities indicate that
Mitchell’s majority in tho state ought to
be not far from 25.000. His vote will
probably run ip 21,000, and Baskin’s will
not exceed 9,"

Last and
Coffeeville, Kan., Oct. 7.—The fol
lowing is a correct list of the killed and
wounded in a fight with the Dalton
gang:
Bob Dalton, shot through the head.
Grant Dalton, shot through the heart.
Joe Evans, shot through the head. John
Moore, shot through the head.
Of the citizens who took part in the
battle against the desperadoes, the fol
lowing were killed:
L. M. Baldwin, a bank clerk, shot
through the head.
C. J. Brown, a shoemaker, shot
through the body.
C. T. Connelly, city marshal, shot
through the body.
George Cubine, a merchant, shot
through the head.
The wounded are: Thomas J. Ayres,
cashier of the First National bank, fa
tally wounded, Bhot through the left
side. Louis Dietz, severely wounded in
right side. Thomas A- Reynolds/se-
/Verely wounded. V
Emmett Dalton confessed !hx(t s tbe
was responsible for the Red RockT
and other train robberies in
---n Territory which had been
credited to them.
“The story of hidden treasure,” he
said, “was all nonsense. If there had
been a hidden treasure,” he said, “we
would all have been alive today. It was
because we were all broke that we plan
ned the CoffeyviUe raid. We were be
ing hard pressed by the officers down in
the territory, when Bob declard that we
would have to get ont of the country.”
Diphtheria in Illinois,
Springfield, Oct. 7.—Dr. F. W. tl*
of the the state board of health went to
Harlem, Cook county, to see what can
be done to stop the spread of diphtheria,
which is said to be prevailing there to a
rather alarming extent. Thirty-five
deaths are reported;, bodies are kept for
several days and public funerals are
field. (Hie state board of health has in
structed Hie authorities as to their duty,
but thus far they have refused to do
anything, and Dr. Reilly has gone up to
Investigate and take such action as the
Situation seema fo warrant.
POOR uftLE LOtTA.
She Must Give Up Her Profession for a
Year and Perhaps, for Aye.
New York, Oct. 6.—The condition of
Lotta, the actress, has become serious
and her manager has notified the mem
bers of her company that they are at
liberty to accept other engagements for
the present season.
The little women’s {rouble is traced
to a fall she suffered in Jersey City three
years ago and the injuries she received
in a mnaway accident in Boston in No
vember, 1892. / '
The most encouraging news the phy
sician can give is that with careful at
tention and absolute rest, she may a
year hence be herself again in a social
but not in a professional way. The
news has already been sufficient to all
but break Lotta’s heart.
THE CASE POSTPONED.
The Indiana Supreme Coart Refused to
Advance the Gerrymander Snlts.
Indianapolis, Oct. 6.—The Indiana
supreme court refused to advance the
suits to test the gerrymander acts of
1885 and 1891 without further consider
ation. The court ordered that inas
much as the case was one of great im
portance to the people of the entire state
the attorney general should appear in
their behalf.
As the attorney general is Green
Smith, the" Democrat who forcibly kept
Colonel R. S. Robertson ont of the office
of lieutenant governor in 1887, a new
feature is brought into the contest. The
action in postponing the hearing of the
motion is taken by the politicians to
mean that the case will not be decided
before the election.
Cleveland In Chicago.
Chicago, Oct. 6.—A local paper has
the following: Ex-President Cleveland

Word has been received that Grover
Cleveland had decided to reconsider his

tion dedication, and was preparing a
letter of acceptance. This report was
confirmed by a promise that Mr. and
Mrs. Cleveland would be here Oct. 21.

London, Oct. 0.—In Ayr the corner
corner stone of the Memorial library
library presented to the town by An

of the working people to the affair, an
immense crowd gathered around the

Felix N. Cobb, one of tbe leading ai
