HOW THE DAY WENT INTHE CITY- Everything Quiet with no Excitement— Nearly all Interest Centering in the Bulletins. THE ELECTION IN DOOLY. A Small Vote Polled—Mr. Charles Shipp to be Married. Special to Recorder. Cordele, Nov. 4.—A very small vote In Dooly county was polled to day, eimply because the county has a very strlot registration law com pelting every man to register in person with the tax. collector, be' fore every election. Less than one hundred and fifty voteB were polled for Crisp. There were no votes polled for the radical candidate. If there had been no registration law. Crisp would have gotten five hun dred votee at this precinct, but as this is a democratic county by a large majority and there was never any danger of the republicans cap turing the county the registration law only keeps the voters of the county from votiug except at Vi enna, the county seat, where the tax collector and registry lives and where the registration books are al ways open. This registration law for Dooly county seems to have been made more for the purpose of keeping the old court house clique in power at Vienna than for any ottier cause whatever. to he married. Mr. Charles J. Shipp, a young lawyer here, will leave to-morrow for Forsyth, Ga.. to wed Miss Lillie Zelluer, the charming daughter of Judge fl. H. Zeilner, of Monroe couuty. A great many trlends and relatives leave to-night to attend the marriage, which takes place to morrow. Mr.Filipp has won many friends since he has been in Cor dele, and Is the popular attorney, for the National Guaranty Com pany, of this place. This marriage is the happy termination of a love affair which sprang up between this couple when both of them were happy, laughing school children happy, laugnmg bououi uuuuiou, and this goes to disprove the old adage that, “whom we first love we seldom wed.” STILL GROWING. Cordele has never stopped grow ing for a day. The water works have just been completed and are as fine a Bystem as can be found anywhere in the South. The Mil- road from Albany to Cordele is rap idly being pushed forward and the care will be soon runnlug regularly over It. The $20,000 opera house Is near ing completion. The large $50,000 hotel euphoniously named Suwanee House is also being rapidly pushed forward, and a great number of private dwelliugs are being built, and the city Is growing very fast Indeed. Now for the speakership! The bouse Is certain^ to be Demo cratic, as the last returns show, and interest now centres here and else where on the speakership. That Judge Crisp is the man, there can be as little doubt as of anything in the future. He is rec ognized far and wide as tiie “great est democrat of them all,” and from every State come wishes and pre dictions that he be speaker. The result in Americus to-day stood: For Hon. C. F. Crisp, 609; for Gibson, 85. The vote was light, both in Ameri cus and the country precihcts. Here there were only 694 votes polled, and from the other precincts heard from the vote seems to have been small In about the same pro portion. The balloting was beguu at seven o’clock, ami fur an hour or two very few werecast. Of the number about half were cast by the negroes, and all for Gibson the negro candi date. The whites then began coming up faster, and while at no time was there anything like a rush, a pretty steady stream kept up for the rest of the day. There were only 88 negro votes In all, three of which were for the Democratic nominee. Everything moved along Bmoothiy, and the election was the quietest In our his tory. There was no crowd in town and no gathering around the polls. As will be Been in another col-1 umn, the vote in the other counties of the district were about In the same proportion as here, though Gibson received more votes in some of them. In the country precinots of tblB county the negroes polled small votes with one Dr two excep tions. Our man’s election was certain and jhe interest centered in the bulletin from abroad. These were received every few minutes at the telegraph olfice, where a large crowd gathered (o hear how the democrats were getting along oyer the Union. Mayor Felder assisted by Manager Btanfleld, did the work of getting up the subscription nec essary, and,were met with liberality on all sides. Every one received, on being read, was greeted with applause or groans, as a gain was shown for the democrats or the republicans. About eight o’clock the crowd was exolted by the reading of a tele- gram stating that Felton was prob ably elected, and Livingston proba bly defeated. Great interest was shown In the McKinley election, and uproarous cheers greeted the telegram coil- eying the information that he was defeated. The ardor received chill, however, as the next said that be was elected. The leellng was a good deal better at the next stating that the result was so uncertain that nothing definite could he given. The message announcing the re sult in New York, giving the Dem ocrats 21 out of the 34 congressmen, created a great deal of enthusiasm. This shows the general character of the bulletins received. They In formed the people ae to the proba ble result, and in all, with one or two exceptions, gave Democratic gains NINETY SEVEN STRONG THE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN THE NEXT HOUSE. The Latest Returns Make That Predto, tion—What the St. Louts Republican Says. Soeclal to Recorder. St. Louis, Nov. 6.—-I send you the following summary as compiled from returns to the Republic, up to 1 o’clock this morning. These re turns are based on the latest news, and indicate a majority of 97 for the Democrats in the next house. HOWELL IS SPEAKER, MITCHELL, OF THOMAS.

Six districts in California, one each in Rhode Island, Moutaua and North Dakota are undetermined. THE THIRD DISTRICT VOTE.' How It Went in Sumter end the Other ' Counties. A negro candidate doesn’t amount to much thla way. Gibson made a big hullabaloo, Bent out his elroulars, spent hia money, and didn’t get ,enough votes to let folks know ho was running, This Is just as everybody knew, but it looks as if it takes some of the negroe* a long time to find out that the better class of their race are agalnBt them, and that they had better fall in line. The vote in the district was light, and little interest manifested. Four of the precincts in this county shut the negro candidate out entirely, not a single vote being cast for him. The official consolidated vote of the county gives Judge Crisp 803, and Gibson 152. From the other counties the pro portion fa even greater, and Mr Crisp goes in by about ten to one. From Tamil. Dawson, Nov. 6.—The election In Terrell county yesterday was very quiet,white and colored taking very little interest in it. The whole county gave Turner *433 votes, and Mattlson (republican)50. Nowhlte man voted for Mattlson. Several negroes voted for Turner, J. A. F. McKinley and Foster Defeated. Atlanta, Nov. 6.—Latest re* turuirconcede McKinley and Fos ter’s defeat in Ohio. The next House will have from 70 to 75 democratle majority. Returns from Kansas announce the election of the alliance state tl-ket, five congressmen and a ma jority in the legislature, which in sures Ingall’s defeat for the senate. Many a poor little eickly child baa been saved from the grave by tta kind mother giving it Dr. Ball’s Worm Destroyer, which the little one thought was candy. 8p*cln t * Recorp’ek. Atlanta, Nov. 5.—Speaker Clark Howell It is! His election this morning was a foregone conclusion; but the tri umph lost none of Us brilliancy on that account. t At the last moment before the House met Bob Berner came out, throwing his strength to Hon. A. S. putts, of Sumter. The vote stood: Howell, 143. Cutts, 24. The result was greeted with great enthusiasm and prolonged cheers. Hon. Mark Hardin was re-elect ed clerk without opposition. There was a fight between Jim Smith, of Coffee, and Molnnis, of Irwin, for messenger. Smith was messenger and Melnuts a member of tho last, House. Smith was elect ed on the first ballot. Then came the only House con test in which there wsb a real ele ment of uncertainty—that between MoseB Martin, of Gwinnett, and R. J, Wilson, of Richmond, for door keeper. Martin is a one-legged sol dler; Wilsou a one-armed one. Tho vote stood: Wilson, 113, Martiu, 26, electing Wilson. George A. Smith, of Milton, received 13 votes. The result was decided largely by the nominating speeches. Panl Trammell, of Whitfield, the Alliance caucus nominee, was elected Speaker pro tem without opposition. i IN THE SENATE. The Senate was organized by Hon. Bill Harris, of Worth, the eecretary of the last Senate. All 44 members were present. Prayer was had by Rev. J. Jones, of Atlan ta, chaplain of the last Senate. The members were then sworn In by Judge C. J. Welborn. . The first business was the elec tion of a presiding officer. Only two names wereputon nomination, Hon. B. G. Mitchell, of Thomas, and Hon. J. P. Walker, of the 12th. Mr. Mitchell was elected, receiv ing 29 votes. Next came the election of secre tary. There"was only one nomina tion, and Hon. W. A Harris was re-elected unanimously. R. T Paulk, of Irwin, waB eleoted mes senger. on the first ballot. L. J Allred, Pickens, was elected door keeper without opposition. For president pro tem, Hon. G«r. W. Warren, of the 18th, was elected oa the flrBt ballot. Tho organization was completed by the eleetlon of Rev. J. Jones, aa chaplain, A joint committee was appointed to notify the governor of the organ ization of the two houses, and to state that they were ready to re ceive any communication from him. The governor’* usual message was not ready for delivery; and that part of the opening exercises was omitted. The Senate adjourned a few min utes before 1 o’clock, to meet again, at the morning session. The bouse adjourned* a few min utes later. MAY RESIGN. The statement was made here this morning that Chief Justice Logan E. Bleckley would resign within a short while. I can find no confirmation direct, but the rumor is plainly credited. The significance of this appears upon the symposium thst Judge J. K. Hines will be made chief jus tice ; taking him oat of the race for U. S. Senate and throwing hia strength to Gordon. The chief jus tice, It will be remembered, is a brother-in-law to tbe governor—a fact which leads some weight to tbe talk about the resignation. FOR SCHOOL COMMISSIONER. Ex-8eoator S. D. Bradwell, from Liberty eouoty, is here, making a strong fight for appointment as State school commissioner. “Yes,” he said this morning about It. "I am very hopeful In deed about It. Gov. Northen has given no Intimation whatever of bis intention; bat I have.every rea son to be satisfied, and even confi dent of tbe result.” - f HIS APPOINTMENTS. I The appointments to be made by Mr. Northen are itlrrlng-np consid erable speculation. Nothing can be got out of him on the subject. Captain “Tip” Harrison, the olerk, Is to be retained, and will dole out the pensions to old soldiers for at least one term morel Then 'Major Warren, tbe long time secretary of the executive de partment, will keep his place. Beyond this nothing Is known of Mr. Northen’s Intentions. NORWOOD ARRIVES. Hon. T. M. Norwood arrived to night. He is disguised to appear like a-farmer, and old acquaint ances must have him pointed out to recognize him. He has been In consultation with Livingston for some time. THE CAUCUS. The alliance caucus to-night was generally anti-Gordon, with no ef fort yet to concentrate on any one name. Gordon’s full strength, his friends admit, Is 86 votes. POLITICAL rOTPOUBI. The eleotlon of Howell as speaker by a vote of 143 for Howell to 24 for Cults, is proof that the Alll- auce not only control this Legisla ture, but that it is disposed to use Its power. While Howell received the vote of many Gordon men, yet his can didacy was regarded as a fair tost of the anti-Gordon strength. The fact that Col. Cutts ie a pronounced Gordon man was against him in tho race, for many who would have preferred personally to vote for him refused to do so on the ground that It would be giving aid to Gor don. When the alliance oaucus decided to make Howell Us oandldate, it was evident that there was no h >pe of success for any, other candidate. Mr. Berner, who claimed blxty votes, knew thle, and this morning withdrew, but seemed to be unable to transfer bis strength to Cntfs. Tbe eleotlon of Mr. Mltobell, of Thomas county, to the Presidency of the Senate was a surprise, as ft was thought that, as there were ihirtv-three alliance members id the Senate, an Ailiahceman would be chosen; but tbe vote showed 2! for Mitobeil and 12 for Walked Mr. Walker waB greatly emba: ' raseed in hie candidacy by the fat that, owing to sickness and tbe d lay of trains, hr did not arrive hq unlit late last night and had no r ( portuulty of making a persor canvass. ->■» ; It is now generally conceded, ov by his. friends, that Gen. Gore stands no chance of eleotloo to i /$ Senate. There was » rumor to-i that Gov. Brown would ho , elected, but there seems to foundation for it. The opposite to Gordon seems to be Con illG trutlug on Pat Calhoun, andt, name Is freely mentioned as bt 11lie next United States- Scnu The only argument used aga^, . him is that be is a railroad mil'll but In reply to this I hearde lAlllanceman say: “That is n good objection, for there is no mori. -In to being a ralln ad man than in being a lawyer or a merchant.

HE DEFENDED LADIES. A Negro Lays Out Two Others Been They Abueed Borne Ladies. Hpeclal to Recohdeb. Hortqn, Ga , Nov. 8—One negro stabbed badly and another knocked down with ascantliog. That Is the result of a fight hero to-day. It was all between negroes. The negro who did all the damage claims It was because the others were abusing some white ladles. He stabbed one to the hollow with a knife and knocked another down with a scantling, breaking bis back. The officious negro was arrested by Passenger Conductor Wick Gil mer, of tbe S. A. M. road, and car ried to McRae, where he was lodged In jail. 'Once A Week,” an Illustrated New York paper, publishes a very flue picture of Judge Crisp In its last issue, probably tbe best one ever shown in a paper. The picture is accompanied with a short sketch of Judge Crisp’s life. Everybody knows scrofula to be a disease of tho-blood, and Hood’s Sarsaparilla is tho best remedy for all blood diseases,
