THE MACON TELEGRAPH
MAfcON, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 5, 1891.
DEMOCRATS ARE
STILL ON TOP
Mr. Atkinson's Majority Will Bo in the
Neighborhood of 25,000 in
the State,
THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.
Thfre 'Will n. In the Kelghhorhood of
MtUly Popniut KtepreaentnitTee In
She Senate null howar Home
• —Vote By Counties.
•Mr. Atkinson’s, majority trill be In
the neighborhood ot 23,000. He ran
behind the ticket between 5,000 and
0,000 rotes, so that the Democratic)
majority to the state will reach about
30,000. Everything taken Into consid
eration, this is a reasonably good show
ing against the combined strength of
Populists, Republicans and negroes.
This was the fight tho Democrats had
to make.
As usual, south Georgia, the Demo
cratic Gibraltar, furnishes the most
of the Democratic majority.
Tho Populists will have. In all prob
ability, about fifty members of tho
leg-slature, although tho present re
turns show that tho number will bo lie-
low, rather than above this number.
Tho Telegraph presents this morning
a table showing tho votes for governor
In the various counties, with tho ma
jorities for Atkinson and Hines. Tho
figures, so" far as they could be ob
tained are official, many of them aro
semi-official, and tho others are esti
mates based on the beBt Information
obtainable from tho various counties.
Whllo the full official count, may make
some slight changes in these figures,
It Is not probable that the official ma
jority will vary matrially from that
given below.
It prints also a list of the members
of tho legislature elected so far as
this Information cuu bo obtained at
the present writing. The vote in many
of the counties is very close, and until
the certificates of elections are Issued
It will bo a difficult matter to tell
With absolute accuracy who Ices beeu
chosen. It Is safe to say, however,
that tho number of ropullsts will not
bo above 30.

MUCH EXCITEMENT
IN ATLANTA
Great Crowds Gather About Poiitica
Headquarters to Hear Elec*
lion Returns,
WATSON CRIES OUT FRAUD
Th» Election Was Fair, Howovsr—1|
Was a Democratic Victory In the
Pulloet 8«an of tho Wont-*
Figaros Blahs tho Facts,
Atlnntn, October 4.—(Special.)—Elcc*
tlon excitement wns at fever heat to*
day. It was daylight, tills morning btt
fore the crowds who besieged tho news
paper offices and bulletin boards lasl
night watching returns dispersed, and
all day today tlio same intensity of la*
terest lias beeu displayed.
In front of Populist headquarters on
Broad street the crowd has been crush
ing, while tlio Democratic newspap'i
offices have beeu overruu.
There has not been st> much excite
ment in politics .since the first election
of President Cleveland. Leaders ot
both parties have boon crojwliajf Jrto
the city from outsldo points all day
iti their anxiety to xel tho llrct official
reports and to discuss tho fato of tho
day.
Watson arrived from Thompson this
morning, and he and Illnos Invo kept
up tho excitement among their follow
ers. who thronged tliu Dally Pros
office, where they made headquarters,
by bold claims and chaipCs of fraud
against tho Dcmocrate. Both claim
that they have carried the state fur
Hines by 8,000 majority. They base
their claims on telegrams from county
chairmen of tin* Populist party In
about fifty counties. These counties,
they Assort, give 1 linos 1,600 plurality,
blit tlicj* admit that with the addition
of a half dczcli other couutles in which
the largo cites aro located, the majority
Is turned to six or seven thousand for
Atkinson.
While Watson and Hines have got
iv gmxl deal of cheap glory today, they,
do not sincerely believe hi th*.Hr claims,
but have already begun to cry fraud
fur tin* piirp'>ne <>f letting thcmficlvcM
dowu easy, and to precipitate trouble
when tlm voto 1* counted In Hie legis
lature.
They have begun operations on tills
line hy giving notice that the result
lu Fulton county will be contested,.
They claim that ballots on which At-
klnsou's name had been scratched
were oottoted for him. This Is all rot,
however. In Fulton county tho Pop
ulists were represented at every poll
ing place, and if ever there was a mm
ballot and fair count It was hero yes
terday. Atkinson's majority over
Illnes in Fulton Is 1,700, while tho plu
rality of tlio Democratlo ticket over
the Populist ticket is 2,500, Atkinson
having run 800 behind his ticket here,
Watson today publishes tho follow
ing lu the Press, tho Populist dally:
“Hellahlo election returns are slowly
coming in. Tho extravagant claims of
the Democrats last night aro totally
unfounded. Tlio Democrats have suf
fered a Waterloo, and the estimate
made by Acting Chairman Cunningham
are proven to bo accurate. Fearful
frauds have been practiced by 11m
Democrats In mnny counties, but in
spile of all Gils tlio Populists made
tremendous gains on tho election of
1802.
*'Those gains are not made In any
particular section of tho state, Imt
they are made In almost every county.
'^Constituencies wlllch in ’D2 re
turned Dcinocrnilo representatives by
large majorities, have swung Into tho
Populist column by heavy majorities.
In many counties tin* Democrats bavo
suffered a loss of 1,000 and over, At
kinson's own county was barely saved
to him.
"The result In many counties is ho
close that It will take the official votp
to determine it. Enough is known,
however, to assure tho Populists of a
heavy representation in the legislature,
If not an actual majority.”
There ia llttlo doubt that the Popu-
1I*U In tend to make wholesale charges
c»f fraud when the vote H canvassed in
the teftteldture. They are highly elated
over tin.* success* conceded to them by
the DomcmnFs—Itv fact they are genu
inely surprised, and hope by nuking us
much confuwlon os oo«*lhle to hold to
gether for another fight two years
hence.
Watson Is DartlcularJy jubilant over
hi* outlook for congress In tho Tenth
district.
Roturns that have been received to
day do not change the estimate of the
Democratic managers or hmt night.
Only about -half the counties have been
heard from officially, that Is, the exact
vote east. Upon tills basis, it Is estima
ted Unit Mr. Atkinson's majority will
ho 20.000 over Judge Hines, while tho
Democratic «uto 'ticket will get a ma
jor! ty of 25.000.
Mr. Atkinson does not run an far bo*
hind his ticket as wns< anticipated, o«
account of the men left byjhe nomina
ting primary.,
Two yetirw ago, when Gov. Northen
receiver I « 70.00O majority over Peck,
his Populist competitor, the total Dem-
ocnttlc pi uni ity over tho vote cast by
the Popull it* ami Republicans for their ,
preokh-ntlal candidates was about 39,-
000. This in th** onlv upon which
to <-»tlmate the reduction, of tho Demo-
entitle majority In yesterday’* electln.
Yesterday the Populist and Republican
vote, inrtead of being divided between
their »ci>;trote candidates, was concen-
tratM s'fijdjy against Demecmtlc nom*
In<-* k s. H<> that the real reduction of the
Democratic majority Is only from 39,000
hich North*-ri received over Harlwn
nd Wraver to 25.000 which th** l>em«>-
atlc ticket will receive over the Pop
ulist ticket—about 14.000.
Considering that many Democrats
ore sulky on account of the nomina
tion of Mr. Atkinson by th* defeat of
their favorite, the knifing that Is re
ported to h tve been done in every sec-
ion for th* sake of lor-il candidates, as
veil ai the fight Wuf has been mads
