tiou of Alderman Brooks the bid of

ed, on condition that it ap
proved by a competent civil engin¬
eer to be employed by the city, and
that painting, ladder and inlet and
outlet be included. On motion of
Alderman Cleveland it was resolved
not to let any contract UDtil the
money for same is all in sight, the
money in the water works fund being
a thousand dollars short of the
amount required by the lowest bid.

CHARGED TO HOKE.
Governor-Elect Atkinson Says Secretary
Smith Caused the Slump.
Atlanta, Oct. 9. —The consolidated
vote of last week’s elections shows that
the state ticket is elected by a majority
of 80,000, with Colonel W. Y. Atkinson,
governor-elect, running 4,000 behind his
ticket. Governor Neat hen’s majority
in October, 1892, was 71,502.
Governor- elect Atkinson ascribes the
Democratic slump to the interference
of Secretary Hoke Smith. He says:
“There was one thing in the cam¬
paign that ought not to have happened,
that was the division that was stir¬
red up over the silver question. All
Democrats should have knuckled to the
state platforhi. Some of them did not
knuckle. If there was anything Democratic in
plain words in the state
platform, it was the pledge of hope silver. to
the masses for the free coinage of
Yet during the campaign there were
speeches and speeches by this man and
that directly against favorable legisla¬
tion in this direction.
“T6o much personal ambition was
thrown into the campaign by some of
these speakers—ambition that did not
stop short of stirring up strife on a
question that had been positively the set¬
tled by the state Democracy in con¬
vention.”
That Joyful Feeling.
With the exhilarating seDse of re¬
newed health and strength aDd in¬
ternal cleanliuees,’ which follows the
use of Syrup of Figs, is unknown to
the few who have not progressed
beyond the old time medicines and
the cheap substitutes sometimes of¬
fered but never accepted by the well
informed.
