Tlie battle of the ballots has been
fought and whipped.
W. Y. Atkinson of Coweta lias been
rluly elected by the people of Georgia
for the next two years, and every state
bouso oUlcer nominated on.tlie Demo
cratic t.cket lias been elected with him.
Atie legislature ;u both brunches Is
overwhelmingly Democratic, Insuring
the election of a Democrat to succeed
Senator Walsh. It' Is probable thot
the crnstltut.onal ^ timcndmouts pro
viding for an Increase |u the number
of the supreme court judges uml allow
ing more latitude in the matter of pen-
have been adopted, while the In
dications are that that providing'' a
change in the time for tho meeting of
the legislature has beeu defeated. This
Is largely surmise, however, for'the re
turns are very Incomplete.
So far as the material results of tho
ejection yesterday 'aro concerned, tho
Democratic party has won a sweopmg
victory. They have captured every
thing In sight.
It is certa.11, however, that tlirr Pon-
uljsts win bo encouraged by the tn o
tolrl in the columns >f the Telegniph
Jjus morning, and on the face of It
they have reason to be. The Demo-
cratlc majority will not bo morn than
, . • There is no use blinking tho
fact that this is disappointing. Tho
majority uftould have been much
greater.
To causes have led to tho reduction
In the Democratic party. To n great
extent tho Populists succeeded in vot.
lug tho negroes solidly. This was
done by methods which hardly become
a party which liarps continually on
purity in elections. Then ihero was
that apathy among the Democrats
which comes with the assurance of
success Many of them, especially In
the cities, staid at home and thus cut
down tlie majority.
Thcro were mauy surprises In tlio
election. Washington couutv was re
deemed. but ns an offset the Democrats
hnvo lost a number, muoug them some
wh.cji were counted safely Democratic.
Not tlie least of tho surprises was
the probalilo defeat of Hon. U. Warner
Hill in Meriwether county. This will
Increase tho chances of Hon. IV. H.
I’lemlng for tlio speakership, it indeed
it does not assure It.

to the estimates made by the Tele-
