They Elect Every Officer From Legislator to Coroner. DANIEL LOTT WINS BY 345 MAJORITY The Election Passes off Quietly.---Wil cox Beats Morion. Wednesday’s election was the biggest ever held in Coffee county. The vote in the Douglas district was larger by two hundred votes than ever before, At sunrise the populist drove over one hundred negroes in and voted them. They came marching in double file, with three white men in front carrying guns, which by the way was in open violation of the State law. This entire crowd marched to Mr. Jno. M. Lott’s and got break fast. Then came a crowd of about 150 negroes from Broxton, led by a brass band. Tin* tvere fed at Mr. John Lott’s also. The democrats brought their voters iu wagons and fed them at Messrs. Benajah Peterson’s and David Lott’s. l'he most remarkable thing of the day, however, was the smoothness with which., the election passed oil’. The citizens of Douglas did not like it because the.j/opulist marchf>d in w:si guns but managed to keep their Sem per. They decided to leaveihe law to take its course in the matter. The best part of the populist vote was polled in the morning, while the democrats kept up their work pretty much all during tbe day. The election managers were: T. S. Deen, Dan Lott, and N. F. Goodyear. RETURNS FROM TIIE COUNTY, The Tanner or Nichols district was the first to he heard from. The re turns were brought in from this dis trict Wednesday night.
