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.

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 >n the parry fcy an element more de- (Contloued on page 5.)
