They All 'Went Wild—The Recorder's
Extra Told tbe Mews-There Will Be
e Gordon JaMlee at the Opera Mono
To-Night
At 1:40 yesterday, the first news
of tbe election of Gov. Gordon to
tbe Senate wee flashed over tbe
wire* as a special to The Record'
Pat Calhoun made a good race,
hut that railroad attorneyship did
tbe business. Farmers are tby of
a lawyer, especially If be happens
to be a railroad lawyer.
Ur. Norwood baa tbe hsppim
of knowing that he elected Gordon
with bis little mouth. Ob, but
won’t some of the Alliance aandl
dates lay for him some day!
Tbe Journal will now proceed to
charge its batteries on tbe fourth
story of tbe Constitution building.
Bat the Constitution has still two
cannons In reserve—HemphIU and
Inman.
IT IS SENATOR GORDON.
On tbe first ballot in tbe Senate
and House yesterday Gen. Jno B.
Gordon was elected Senator.
Though The Recorder has not
advocated bis eleotion, it believes
he will make a good and useful
Senator—will represent all classes.
Such a campaign has never been
known before in Georgia. It
been all along tbe object of tbe
Alliance to defeat Gordon, though
no ono man was brought forward to
do it until the last moment. The
election of Gordon brings tbe Alii
auce to s crisis. Will it mean the
death of tbe order, as bss been
prophecied, or will it mean the de
thronement of its leaders, and the
substitution of others; or, will all
tbe wounds be healed over and
Gordon accepted by the Al llano*?
That the leaders of the Alliance
fought Gordon to the end, and by
*o doing caused a break In their
ranks, is well known. Now, to re
taliate, will tbe Gordon Alllance<
men ask the leaders to resign?
Very near one-half of the Alliance
members in the legislature voted
for Gordon, and by so doing called
down the wrath of tbe other half.
If ths allianoemen can harmonize
now It will mean that tbe order
wilt continue to grow and baa
power in tbe State, but If do not,
its speedy dissolution will follow.
Tims alone will tell.
Sled In Girard.
Hr. M. E. Fretwell, electrician
for the light company, who was
called to tho bedside of his slok
wife, some time since, returned to
the city yesterday, and brings the
sod new* of tbe death of hie wife
with him. She passed quietly
sway on last Sabbath, at Girard,
and was burled Uonday.
Tbe death wee _ot altogether un
expected, she being a victim of
consumption, ami lingering be
tween this and the next world for
some time elnoe. She wee a lady
well known to oar citizens, aud as
a gentle, true woman, made close
friendaofall. The news of her
death caused sadness In many
hearts, and to these Tbe Recobd-
is being rapidly pnsbed forward
completion, and now slnoe Cordele
has passed through tbe summer
with a health record nnequaled by
any city in tbe southern part
Georgia, It It hoped that this hotel
will cause Cordele to become
great retort to parties seeking
health, from tbe North, and from
every section of the country not
well blest as ours in this respect.
If it was not for the fact that now
and then some laborer get* his
hand crushed in one of the many
manufacturing enterprises of the
dtp or some aoddent on the rail
road happens, our dootors would
scarcely have anything to do.
Tho little baby of Hr. J. E.
Ship, which was so seriously hurt
by a fall, has entirely recovered,
with only a small scar where its
skull was crashed ' in, and a slight
disfigurement of ono of Us eyes,
which tbe doctor thinks will come
all right again.
Our physicians are having plenty
of time to read up their books, as
they have very little work to do
outside of a few cases of petty sur
gwy-
A great number of new dwellings
are commencing to go up, and ev
cry day people are moving into the
town, and when once here they al
ways strike to live. As soon as the
stranger embraces tbe idea that
Cordele Is bound to be a great me
tropolis of the wire-grass region
and the longer he stays with ns, the
greater his faith becomes, and thus
the city Is full of enthuslaatlo citi
zens.
Some cities less enterprising
than ours, for fear of losing spine
of their citizens, who would like
to move to Cordele, ere inclined to
speak disparagingly of tbe city,
but when a person comes and sees
tbe marks of abounding prosperity
here all donbts are removed, and
although The Recorder has fre
quently toll of the many advanta
ges of tho place, yet when strang
ers come the unanimous verdict is
that the half has never been told
Tbe Cordele Ice Factory is now

now It is finished and Is regarded

In certain Instances there have
been arrangements made between
a physician and tbe head of a fam
ily that a fixed amount should bo
paid for eaoh day tbe various mem
bers of tbe family oouiluued In good
health. But should sickuess enter
the household, tbe physiolan’i
usual stipend was discontinued.
Bueh an agreement is founded on
At this time, quite a crowd of
the anxious ones were standing
around tbe telegiaph office waiting
for tbe result. Anxiously were
they waiting, and all over the city,
from one end to the other, the
question was asked every few min
utes, “What have you heard?"
It was a time of suspense.
Tbe balloting was to begin at 12
o’clock, and the people thought
they ought to hear something by
1:00. Bat they didn’t, and Impa
tience could be plainly seen on
the faces of Irlends of all candi
dates.
Half past one, and tho Impatience
had Increased.
Quarter to two, and the people
began to wonder what was tbe
matter.
Then, at 1:48 the first Item ar
rived.
It was to The Recorder, and
tbe people were;! mined lately given
tbe benefit of it.
The message was carried up to
the composing room without a mo
ments delay, put in typo, proved,
locked up In tbe form and Impres
sion made, all within five minutes
after the operator had written it
down. It was qulok work, bat the
people were In a hurry and want
ed to know the news.
And this was the first they got.
The; Recorder extra was out and
scattered over the streets nearly an
hourjbeforo any other message was
received in the city.
And how the news did spread!
It did look as if there wasn’t an
anti-Gordon man In Americas, and
the scene all oyer the streets was a
wild one.
“Gordon elected, thank God."
“Hurrah for tho old Confed.’’
“Norman Is a tramp. I’d walk
from here to Liberty to shake hie
hand.”
That’s the way the folks talked
as they heard the news, and If Gen
eral Gordon is beloved anywhere,
It is right here in Americas.
It Is impossible to pat In oar pa
per anything like the wild enthusi
asm. Every now and the& tome
hearty admirer of the Genera?
would rush ont, and throwing his
hat up, would, tarn himself loose
•nd let oat • little of the pent up
enthuilesm ln load yellsT On 'ev
ery corner, and In every store were
groups happily discussing tbe vic
tory, end there was never so much
enthusiasm expressed over any
eleotion. t 1
Gray haired farmers, merchants,
mechanics, professional men, old
men', young men, women and chil
dren all were wrought op, and tho
blood tingled in thousand* of vein*
yesterday as old veterans would
meet, and clasping hands, almost
cry for joy over the victory of tbsir
old leader.
There areeatl-Gordon men here,
but didn’t have much to say, and
mighty few were seen who weren’t
almost wild with Joy.
A celebration eras immediately
proposed, and some sort of • Jubi
lee will take place to-night.
Whether anything Id tho shape
of bonfires or anythin* of tho sort
will be ueed has not been definitely
decided. It was at first thought
that this would be done, but owing
to tbe compulsory absence of aome
of tbe leaders, this may be left
ont.
Anyhow there will be a meeting
at tbe opera house, and It (la need-
to say that tbe building will
almost barst with applause. We
have as eloquent men here £as can
be foand anywhere, and; when they
have a subject so dear to them, and
one the mere mention of whioh
censes the heart to beat faster, yon
may be tare that they will “make
the welkin ring."
