INCREASED MAJORITY!
OLD DEMOCRACY VICTORIOUS
ALL ALONG THE LINE,
Swelling Her Lead to Neazlj For
ty Thousand Against All Coni'
billed Opposition.
Georgia is not only true to old De
mocracy, but remains iu front of the
procession with an increase of about
flfteeu thousand over its democratic
majority of 24,161 two years ago.
The result of Wednesday’s election
is nearly 49,000 majority for Govern
or Atkinson over Hon. Seaborn
Wright, who contested the race with
him as the populist nominee. Or the
exact figures as repoited by the Con
stitution’s special correspondents are
39,672 —and the official count it is
thought will more likely increase than
decrease this.
Summing up the day’s results, the
Constitution says:
“There are many surprises iu yes
terday’s election, the greatest of which
is the unexpectedly heavy democratic
majority of 39,000, hut when the re
turns were received from counties like
Meriwether, Carroll and others, which
two years ago went for the populists,
showing that they had reversed their
heavy populist majorities, it was soon
seen that the estimate of 30,000 was
not enough.
One after another the counties came
in, showing a steady gain over the
democratic vote of two years ago
Many comities which then went
500 populist reversed I heir majorities
this year in the same proportion for
the democrats. Others which went
from 200 to 500 democratic then, went
from 500 to 1,000 democratic this
time.
Another significant feature of the
vote was the comparatively small poll
by the negroes. From all parts of the
State the negro vote is very much
smaller than was expected. 11l some
counties the gold democrats cut At
kinson badly, while in others they did
their duty manfully.
The democratic party ought to be
entirely satisfied with the indorsement
the people have giveu it. The result
shows that the people of Georgia are
entirely satisfied with the results of
democrat’c government and we judge
from the increased majoiity of the par
ty that those democrats who have been
acting with the populists have fouud it
convenient to return to the fold pre
paratory to joiuing iu the great move
ment iu support of Bryan.’’
Chairman Clay thinks the result
will strengthen the democratic ticket,
and iu an interview on the election
add« :
“Governor Atkinson has received a
large majority of both the white and
the colon d votes in this state. I sup
pose our populist friends are satisfied
that we have had an h >uest election
Take my owu county. We gave them
a manager at aech box. They selected
their owu manager at Marietta, and we
gave iu this county a largely increased
majority. So far as I have beeu able
to ascartain in every county in Georgia
they have been reperseuted by man
agers and clerks. This seems to have
resulted iu largely increasing our dem
ocratic majority. Jt is all bosh to cry
out that the democrats are not in favor
of fair elections. From the beginning
of this campaign till the polls closed,
the democratic committee has stood for
fair elections, and done everything in
its power to aid iu giving an honest and
fair count The populis's said before
the election that they would be defraud
ed. ’ The election has uow beeu held.
They have had their managers uuder a
registration law that guards against
p’aud, and doublings the better class of
the populists will be satisfied with the
result.
“I hare nothing to say against the
rauk and file of the populist party.
There are many good people who vote
the populist ticket, and do so from
principle. This strife and division
ought to cease. It has injured our
schools and our churches. It has
created dissensions aud divisions in
many communities which has done
harm, and 1 trust that in the future the
rank and hie of the populist pmy, the
plain, common people, who act from
conviction aud not from a desire of of
fice, may see proper to return to the
democratic party. These exciting elec
tions occur every two years, aud would
be much better for our people if our
elections occur every four years. In
the future I hope to see our campaign
last only a short while. Our uotniua
ting convention was held too long be
fore the election and has occupied to
much time. The next campaign
ought not to last over thirty days.”
When asked for an expression
of the landslide over which be presid
ed, Chairman Cunningham, of the pop
ulist committee had nothing to say.
In the County.
Henry county voted more split tick
ets perhaps than ever before, aud the
democratic majority ranges from 300
to 400—an increase over the last rep
resentative of perhaps more than a
hundred. On account of the long
ticket we are unable to get the con
soli lated returns in time for this week’s
issue.
With the exceptions of a few con
tentions, the day passed off very quiet
ly, and from outward appearances
there was much less whisky drank
than usual in any large election.
In McDonough district 699 votes
were polled, and over the county it
will be perhaps not quite so full as us
ual.
Later.—The consolidated returns
have been completed, and the demo
cratic majorities are as follows:
Atkinson—l 79
Stewart—393
Turner—l 69
Weems—366
Brown—3s3
Glass—393
Wallace—3B4
Harper—347
McKihbeu—337
Tarpley—34s
l’ntchett—3o6
Mr. Stewart also received 393 ma
jority in Gwinnett, with DeKalb yet
to hear from, which it is safe to say
will put bis majority iu the entire dis
trict something over 1000. This is an
exceedingly fl itteriug gain, the demo
cratic Senator only getting iu by about
169 in the 1 ist election.
Iu a recent letter to the manufactur
ers Mr. W. F. Benjamin, editor of the
Spectator, Kushford, N. Y., says: “It
may be a pleasure to you to know the
high esteem iu which Chamberlaiu’s
medicines are held by the people of
your owu state, where they must be
best known. An aunt of miue, who
resides at Dexter, lowa, was about to
visit me a few years since, aud before
having home wrote me, asking if they
were sold here, stating if they were not
she would bring a quantity with her, as
she did not like to he without them.”
The medicines referred to are Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy, famous for
its cures of colds and croup: Chamber
lain’s Paiu Balm for rheumatism, lame
hack, paius in the side and chest, and
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera aud j
Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel com i
plaints. These medicines have been
iu constant use in lowa for almost a
quarter of a century. These people
have learned that they are art’cles of
great worth aud merit, and unequaled
by any other. They are for sale by
medicine dealers.
Several years ago I was takeu with
a severe attack ot flux. 1 was sick in
bed about ten days and could get noth
-1 iug to relieve me until I used Cham
berlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, which cured me aud has beeu
a household remedy with us ever since.
