THE BMCAKKR8H1P.
Hon. W- H. fiemiog.of Richmond,
is making no active canvass for the
speakership of the house, and ac¬
cording to nil indications will be suc¬
cessful in this honorablo ambition.
He is fully capable ot SHiog lb* po¬
sition, beings gentleman of wide in¬
formation und broad education, a
fine parliamentarian and a recog.
nixed leader in the body over which
be aspires to preside and of which he
has been a member for six yeara.
During this long service he lma been
the author of much good legislation
and the active promoter of atilj
more. What la equally important,
he baa shown the most unassailable
integrity and purity of character.
A strong plea in his favor is well
illustrated by a map which be has
lately distributed, showing that all
the public offices are at present held
ip the northwest quarter of the
State, leaving the other three qnar-
ters almost, if not entirely unrepre¬
sented, although casting a large ma
jorifcy of the Democratic votee of the
State. Noone can pretend that there
are not juat as able mea in this great
portion of the State as anywhere
else; and while the News and Sun is
published in this favored aectioo, we
have for aome time protested against
ua now to believe that the "war hor«e
Chatham’’ should be made secre¬
tary of the senate.
Not only should Mr. Fleming be
made speaker for the good reasons
adduced, but there are equally aa
strong reasons why this should be
done without a conteBt. It is a time
for harmony and unity of purpose in
the ranks of the party instead of fur¬
ther dissension. The Democracy of
the State must become more firmly
welded together to resist the attacks
of its combined enemies, inside as
well as outbids of the party. There
are no other aspirants having the
same claims as Mr. Fleming and
none having the same chances of suc¬
cess. Then why not do the graceful
thing and give him the position
unuuimouely und without a scram-
blu?
^
A VERY FAIR MAJORITY.
Now that the smoke of buttle has
cleared away and people have takea
their eyes and Ideas off the unusual
majoiity given to Northen two years
ago, it is seen that the Democrats of
Georgia have really gained a grand
victory over the combined forces of
Republicanism, Populism, Prohibi¬
tion and Negroes.
The official vote taken from the
record far the election two years ago
shows: Northen 140,492, Peek 68,-
990. The total vote cast was 209,.
482, Northeo’a mujority being 71,-
502.
While this was Northeo’a majority
over Peek, the Democratic majority
for Cleveland was only 29,801, in a
total vote of 223,946. On Wednes¬
day the Democrats had a combina¬
tion of everything opposed to De¬
mocracy against them, which shows
that the majority received is just
ubout the maximum normal Demo¬
cratic majority.
Iu 1892 the Republican vote was
48,305, tbe Populist vote for Weaver
42,937, aud the Prohibitionists 988.
There were 2,355 scattering.
The Populists had the solid Repub¬
lican vote with them Wednesday,
and on a basis ot the vote two years
ago, without conceding any consid¬
erable Populist gams, these two par¬
ties combined, it is estimated, gave
Hines 90,000-possibiy • 100,000-
votes on WednesJay, while the re¬
turns indicate that the Democratic
ticket received the same vote cast
for Cleveland, about 180,000.
The capture of the Negro vote sol¬
idly is tbe explanation ol tbe Popu¬
list showing of strength.
Of course,^be Democrats of the
legislature will caucus on all import*
ant questions. There should be no
doubts about that.
Capt. John Reese, of tbe county of
Floyd, lead h'*s ticketin Wednesday’s
race and since Warner Hill's defeat,
the Hustler of Rome nominates
Capt. John as the speaker of the next
house. But it is too late for new en¬
tries, Capt Byrd, ns you must know;
and so why not join with the News
and Sun in the demand for tbe unan¬
imous selection of W. II. Fleming for
speaker? He is a mighty good tnau,
even if be was not originally for At¬
kinson.

do to
fact that tbe Populist it vote in this
State was larger than should have
been.
The best authorities claim only
25,000 majority for tbe Democratic
ticket. It is conceded that the ma
jority should have been 50,000 easy.
What the reasons arc for this dis
crepuncy it is not necessary to state
at this time.
Ptopie of both parties will concede
that Mr. Atkinson will make a iust
and wise governor. He has been
elected by the Democracy of Georgia

The fulling off in the vote Mf'st- and
the scratching of Mr. Atkinson's

The preliminary campaign of was a

ment, serious in its effects upon the

leaders of a faction to gain a victory

ably near defeating the parly itself.
Tbe lesson is that this sort of fac¬

They Threw Aside Party Fealty.
Rom* Tribune.
The Democrats of Georgia were
giveo something to tbink about yes¬
terday if tbe official returns bear out
the telegrams received by the Tri¬
bune last night. These dispatches
state that Mr. Atkinson’s majority
will not be over 15,000, while Mr.
Northen’s two years ago was over
70,000.
This would be more alarming if it
represented that much gain for the
Populists, but it is a well kuowu
fact that the greater portion of this
slump is due to reasons entirely eep-
arate from auy Populist tendencies.
A great many Democrats over the
State have never gotten over tbe de¬
feat of General Evans for the nom¬
ination, und throwing aside party
pride for tbe time, endeavored to ad¬
minister a rebuke by either voting
for Hines or stayiug away from the
polls. responsible iu large
This is a meas¬
ure for tbe great' decrease in the
Democratic majority. Tbe carrying
of a number ot counties bv the Pop¬
ulist candidates for the legislature
is due to to analogous causes.
While tbe imall mujority is a dis¬
appointment it is not much less
than many Democrats figured on.
The best posted and most conserva¬
tive men have not estimated Mr.
Atkinson’s majority over 25.00b.
We are disappointed that the ma¬ be¬
jority was not greater, but we
lieve there are few if any more mem¬
bers of ttie Populist party in Geor¬
gia today thuu there were two years
ago.
Still Proud, Defiant und Victorious.
Atlanta Commercial.
It was another Populist overthrow
and today’s sun rose ou a hundred
thousand bappy, smiling Democrats.
The cry of tbe alarraist is drowned
in tbe voice of victory, and a feeling
of confidence and emithusiasm swells
tbe breast of that solid phalanx of
Georgians who have stood loyally
by tbe glorious standard of unterri
Bed Democracy.
It has t>een clearly demonstrated
that tbe people of the empire State
of the South do not want a change
in governmental control, and the
tbuuderous voice of Democracy has
signalized the thought that there
should be no such thing as a disinte¬
grated white sentimeut in old Geor¬
gia.
Her people are still hopeful and
contented and her Democracy is still
proud, defiant and victorious
William Yates Atkinson is Geor

small endorsement shows tbe deter¬

misled by the fears of those who had
their guns turned against him as tbe
leader of tbe great army that been
arrayed for buttle.
It was a victory but not a crush¬
ing defeat, aud while we congtatu
late the people, commend tbe State
and return thanks to tbe God of
truth and justice, we are constrained
to admit that tbe majority was
smaller than we expected.

surprised at the falling off in the

of it with any majority at all.
Every vote lost to tbe Democrats
Hod every vote gained to the Popu
lists is to be referred directly to tbe
efforts of the goldbug bushwhackers
to convince the people of the State
that the party is not in favor of the
free coinage of silver. These gold
bug bmtbwhackeis went about from
county to county declaring that the
Democratic party is not committed
to tbe policy of remonetizing silver,
without tbe consent of England, and
assuring tbe voters wbo came out to
bear them that such a policy would
be ruinous, and that the only reme¬
dy for tbe repeal of Republican finan¬
cial legislation was for tbe people of
this country to obtain tbe consent
and co operation of the tnonarcbial
powers of Europe.
Populists Have No Reason to Rejoice.
Savannah News.
In tbe election in this State yester¬
day the Democratic ticket did not
receive as large a mujority as it was
estimated it would, and not as large
as the majority the Democratic tick¬
et received two years ago. One
reason for this is that tbe vote was
lighter in many counties^and anoth¬
er reason is that in quite a number
of counties there was considerable
hostility to Mr. AtkinsoD. During
his campaign with Gen. Evans for
the nomination some remarks were
attributed to him, relative to the
Confederate veterans and tbe Meth¬
odist church, which probably caused
bim to lose a good many votes.
The Populists, however, .increased do tbeii not
appear to have
strength in the counties in which they
werestromr at the last State elec
tion. In fact, in the Tenth congres¬
sional district, tbe district In which
Mr. Watson is a candidate for con
gress, the vote in some of the coun¬
ties is considerably less than it was
two years ago. While, therefore, the
Democrats regret that they did not
succeed better in getting out their
vote, the Populists have no reason
to rejoice, ot notice that in the

vocated the ffee coinage of silver,
tbe Populists received the bulk of
their vote. It is probable, however,
that tbe Populists have polled as
large a vote in this State as they
ever will. With the increase in pros¬

The Race Dlvislou Calls For Legis¬
lation.
Brunswick Time*.
The normal Democratic majority
in Georgia coutested by positive aud
general organized opposition is be¬
tween forty and fifty thousand votes.
How solidly the Republican influ¬
ence was felt in yesterday’s election
may thus be imagined.
Possibly for the first time since the
memorable Bulloch campaign offour
days’ election in tbe days of recou
struction, tbe Democracy of Georgia
has never before met the negro vote
so solidly arrayed.
That after so many years of peace
and racial harmonv, our people,
black aud white, reaching each year
a better understanding of mutual
obligations, and better fitting the
ranchineiy of State to these relations,
should be so suddenly and abruptly
jarred, by a return of tbe negroes to
tbeir primitive pathway ofcitzensbip,
opens np a problem of discussion
that may well receive serious atten¬
tion from all classes.
Passing from tbe old into the new
and promised vigor of State politics,
it is unfortunate that this division
should huve been so displayed, different as to
call for possible legislation
from that which has been the policy
ot tbe past.
The Times-Advertiser wonld be far
from inveighing n thought of color
hostility, but when class lines are so
closely drawn under the suspicion of
vicions utterances that have been
publicly announced in the campaign
that has iust. passed, the tendency
cannot escape meditation
The first duty of the Republic is
against the hazards of conflict with
its fixed laws.
How far this thought may move
tbe next legislature, goaded within by the its
strife of an iilien sentiment

told.
There is, however, a solemn duty
of good citizens, of both races, that
may well be exerted to tempering

The congenial coterie ol ladies who
the Mystic lirde held a pleasant
last Tuesday afternoon at Mrs. Kincaid’s.
Although Mrs. Kincaid had
taken Mrs. Kimbrough’s time and was
ried iu her preparations, the guests enjoyed
with this hos dtable hostess a bright, agree
able afternoon. Tbe literary feature
braced the life and poems of John G.
The decorations were goldonrods and
daisies, and tempting refreshments
served. After the meeting the ladies
presented with favors of paper sacks and in
vited out into the yard to fill them
bananas from Mrs. Kincaid's
banana tree. Whether that tree grew
fruit to fill all those sacks is probably
the “mystic” part comes in.
The f Rowing very sensible advice was
clipped from an exchange, aud is well worth
reading and remembering:
“It is a mistake for a woman to try to
prove to men her great knowledge and su¬
perior intellect. They enjoy au intellectual
woman when they discover her brightness
themselves, but they do not like to have her
force her brains and learning upon them.
Bat it is just as great a mistake to assume
an air of insipidity, and expect a man to
think it charming Men are exacting in their
demands. Too much or too little brain in
toman is equally offensive to them.”
V man. if he has any sense, likes a natural
woman without any affectation at all. And
I never yet saw the man who didn’t admi-e
a bright, cheery, wholesome, natural wo¬
man, and he can see beauty in tbe plainest
face if be only finds there the expression of a
sonl.
The chief social event of the week was tbe
delightful reception given Wednesday morn
ing by Mrs. E. A. Hill at her picturesque and
pretty home complimentary to Miss Corinne
Tebault. it was an informal affair, and de¬
cidedly charming in all its detai's. Interett-
iug games and charades formed the ao-sse-
ment. A novel and entertaiuing feature of
the charades or tableaux were a number of
“living pictures,” gotten up by tbeingenuity
of the clever hostess and some of her gaests
Among the pictures were “ rim Heavenly
Twins,” “Face of an Angel,” “Yellow Aster,”
etc. Dainty refreshments added to the en¬
joyment. Those present were Mrs. and Miss
Tebault, Mrs. J. 8. Boynton, Misses Bessie
Mills, Mamie Mills, Hester Kell, Evelyn Kell,
Opal Smith, Mattie Smith, Mary Burr, Lora
Smith, Susie Collier, Leila Redding, Georgia
DcVotie, Janie Brawner, Maude Johnson

The Daughters of the American Revolntiou

tertained Thursday afternoon by Mrs. E A.
Hill tu honor of Pulaski’s birthdav. Mrs.

THE FATHER IMPLICATED.
Iona Wimberly’s Murder Shouldered on
tier Kuthcr a* an Accomplice.
Rai.kigh, Oct. o.—Iu the trial here of
George Mills, for the murder of his
uiece, Jpna Wimberly, Drs. Moore aud
Cotton, who attended Miss Wimberly,
said her death was due to a heavy blow
on the side of the heath Site had been
struck six times on the head, they testi¬
fied. There was no evidence ot an at¬
tempt to outrage her. There was posi¬
tive evidence that Mills on the day be¬
fore the murder, went to a store and
bought laudanum, and a witness testi¬
fied that the day after the attack on
Iona, he had found on the floor of the
abandoned house, where she was found,
a piece of paper, which the man who
sold the laudanum identified as that in
which he had wrapped it.
The most startling evidence of the
day was given by Deputy Sheriff Wal¬
ters, aud was regarding what Mills told
him the night the latter was taken from
jail to prevent his threatened lynching. did
Mills had been told not to talk, but
so aud said he hoped to see Iona recover
so she could tell the truth. He said
that if the truth were known her father
would be found as guilty as himself.
Judge Bynum issued a bench warrant
for A. J. Wimberly, Iona’s father, as an
accessory before the fact to the mnrder.
The grand jury later returned a true
bill against him for murder. He was
jailed.

Charleston, Oct. 6.—Dr. Sampson
Pope, the independent candidate for
governor, who will oppose Mr. John
Gary Evans in the November election, is
in the city. Dr. Pope was ask ed if there
was anything new to ba said concern¬
ing his candidacy. He answered in the
negative. His main object in visiting
Charleston, he said, was to see about
the printing of his tickets. Incidental¬
ly, he would inquire into the existence
of the “deal” which the Columbia State
had charged was being consummated
between Evans’ interests and the
Charleston politicians.
