GEORCIA’S ELECTION j HEAVY VOTE POLLED IN ALL j COUNTIES. WATSON’S DISTRICT IS POPULIST Empire State Leads in the Demo cratic Frocession. HON W. Y. ATKINSON FOR GOVERNOR. The Kntire State Democratic Ticket Elect* ed by a Majority of From 25,000 to 40,0(10—The Populist Vote to the State. Atlanta, October 4. — Georgia yester day elected a governor, state house offi cials, members of the general assembly and county officers in each of the one hundred and thirty-seven counties. Three amendments to the state consti tution were also voted upon, one pro viding 1 for annual sessions of the gener al assembly, changing, also, the time of convening from October to July: an other providing for the addition of two judges to the supreme court bench, and the other to increase the power of granting pensions to disabled confeder ate veterans by the state legislature. HON. W. V. ATKINSON. Two complete state house tickets were in the field, composed as follows: Democratic: Governor, William Y. At kinson; Secretary of State, Allen D. Candler: Treasurer, Robert U. Harde man: Attorney General, Joseph M. Ter rell; Comptroller General, William A. Wright; Commissioner of Agriculture, Robert T. Nesbitt. Populists: Governor, James K. Hines; Secretary of State, A. L. Nance; Treas urer, C. M. Jones; Attorney-General, J. A. H. Maliaffy; Comptroller General, W. R. Kemp; Commissioner of Agriculture, James Barrett. Heavy Vote Polled. The election throughout the entire state was unusually quiet, while the poll workers were more ac tive than usual. The campaign on the part of both the parties had been zeal ously waged, and though but little fear existed as to a democratic victory, the populists were well organized, and in addition to their strength two years ago, a heavy labor vote and a good block of the negro vote was conceded them. The vote of the state for gover nor in October, 1892, was: Northen (deni.,) 140,492; Peek, (pop.) <>8.990. A vote larger than the one two years ago was polled yesterday, and the demo cratic majority reduced. Air. Atkinson ran behind his ticket in many counties in the state. In Fulton the rural precincts gave a majority to Hines and the democratic state house officers; the vote in Atlanta reversed the majority for governor and placed the county in the Atkinson column. Populists Gain in the Legislature. The populists have made considerable gains for the legislature but not enough so to effect the democratic control of either of the branches. There are for ty-four members in the senate and one hundred and seventy-five in the house. Of this it is estimated that the populists will have eight to ten members in the HON. JAMES K. HINES. former, and thirty-five to forty in the latter. Should they get control of the legislature Watson would be their choice for United States senator, and this is alleged to have been an inside feature of their active local campaigns. Populists Catry the Tenth. Especial interest has centered in the tenth district because of the fact that Hon. Thomas E. Watson, the chair man of the people's party state com mittee, was a resident of that district, and the nominee for congress in oppo sition to Major Black, the present en cumbent. The aggregate vote in the district will be close and will take an official count to draw definite conclusions as to the possible outcome. Columbia and McDuffie have both given Hines a large majority for governor. The vote will be heavier at the general election, and Watson will face the full strength of his party. Later: The tenth district goes for the populist by 296 majority. Majorities by Districts. All congressional districts gave At kinson majorities, save the fourth, and tenth. The first districts' majori ty is 5854; second, 4595; third, 4K3ft; fourth, 019 for Hines; fifth, 200 for At kiusori; sixth, 8036; seventh, IMSj eighth, 8410; ninth, TANARUS; tenth, ma jority for Hines; eleventh, Atkinson'* majority 4586.
