DEMOCRATS ARE
STILL ALL RIGHT
Leter Returns Do Not Materially Alter
the Figures Given by the Tel- . .
egraph Yesterday.
BALDWIN COUNTY GOES WRONG
DEMOCRATS STAID HOME.
*iy a Very Smell rujuriir She EUeu,
■ Popullit Member of the
ture—There H ero Soma Fight*
—Fopnllat* Commit Fraud.
The late returns from throughout the
state do not materially alter the fig
ures given by the Telegraph yesterday
ns the result of Wednesday’s election.
The Democratic state ttoket will have
somewhere near 30,000 majority , while
Mr. Atkinson's vote will fall, perhaps,
0,000 below this figure.
The Populists will Have nbout forty
members of the lower house la the
legislature and seven senators.
Tho two Items of especial Interest
today are that Baldwin county has
elected a Populist member of the leg
islature by a majority of eight votes,
nnd tho Populists have probably been
elected in Harris oounty.
From all sections of tbu state except
tho large cities the Populists seem to
have captured tho negro vole almost
solidly, so that tho Democrats find fac
ing them a mulatto party, halt white
nnd half black. Complaint is made
.from many sections that the Populists
• were guilty of bulldozing nnd frauds
' In the districts where they were In a
majority and had control.
A number of fights occurred on elec
tion day, but, with one or two excep
tions, they did not result seriously.
DISGRACEFUL (METHODS.

THREATS 'MlADE IN WAYNE.
Fops Talked (Lynching io Democratic
Negroes—(How ‘tftie Vote Stood.
J*3up. Oct. &—(Special).—Owing to
the Wish water and other causes, a full
vote waa not -polled tn this county at
Wednesday's election. Out of about
1,60') registered voter*, only about 1,
votes were polled, which tended to re
duce the 'Democratic majority.
The negroes voted almost solidly with
the (Populists, except at this place,
where ma-nv of them voted the Demo
cratic ticket and at one other precinct,
where some of th% Populists threat-
ened to lynch them if -they voted with
./ ) the Democrats.
The following Is the authentic etate-
ment of the result:
Atkinson. 695: Hines, 488.
Candler, 678; Nance. 460.
WrlRht. Oil; Kemp. 456.
! Hardeman. 623: Jones, 458.
Terrell G22: MahafCey,- 456.
i Nesbitt. 623: Barrett. 45$.
(Harris (Democrat) for the senate, 636.
J. W. Bennett (Democrat) for the
house. 013.
Thornton (Populist), for (the senate,
439.
'Middleton (Populist), for the house,
464.
The amendment to the constitution to
increase the number or supreme court
3udees was carried by 47 majority. The
amendment to provide a pension for
needy Confederate soldiers was carried
By 148 majority.
The election passed off very quietly.
No trouble of any not© occurred In any
part of the county.
HOUSTON TAKES THE PRIZE.
According to Population Her Democratic
Majority Is the Biggest.
Fort Valley, Oct. 5.-(SpedaL)-T?ie Dem
ocrats of old Houston are proud of their
roagnlflce.it slowing In Wednesday's elec
tion. While many of the counties of the
state show gains for the Populists this
county remained true to its colors and
rolled up the mafcnlflccnt majority of 1,119.
Houston is one of the five counties In the
state that gave Atkinson over 1,009 ma
jority, the other fojr being Chatham,
Richmond, Bibb atvl Fulton, which in
elude the cities of Savannah, Augusta,
Mac an and Atlanta.
Sjw. taken In the light of population,
Houston is the banner Democratic county
of the state. The Populists bad worked
among the negroes and it was thought
fer a while they would, succeed In cap
turing them, but most of them stayed
a»; y from the polls and those who did
rote were divided. We won the drum
and fife last election for being the ban-
banner Democratic county and herelfter
•win n a prise Is offered to the Demo-
cra ic county It bad just as well be posu
c l ind billed to Houston county.
Wc are very proud of the honor and
distinction of being the banner Demo
cratic county of Georgia and when the
Em..- comes we will roll up a Urge ma
jority for Speaker Crisp.
Hence the Majority In Walton Was
Cut Down.
Monroe, Oct. 6.;—(Special.)—AVTalton
county two years ago gave Governor
NorClien 952 majority, wihile this lime,
after the consolidated official returns,
it -IV.-s A: Kill 111 only 10.5 r.i ijority.
State house officers (Dem.) -04 ma
jority; W. J. Morton (Dean.), for sena
tor, 197 majority; -A. J. ArnoM and
»M. F. Hurst (Dem.) eomethlng over
200 majority each.
This great dhvvnge can be accounted
for in many rwuys, both local and sta'te.
A small vote was polled In >the county,
only 2,245 out of S.500 registered voter*,
and you can safely count, on nine-
tenths of those who staid aiwtay berm?
Democrats, for tfhird party people will
go to »the polls.
Under all the circumstances, Which
I will not 'mention, we feel thbt we
have won a great victory In this
county. Three-fourths of the negroes
voted for the ithird party.

WATSON AND THIE NEGRO.
Hard to Ge»t the 'Broker In Blflck to
Vote Against the 'Populist Deader.
lAncoimon, Oct. 5.—(Special.)—The
Populists have gained 132 votes over
their majority of 1892. The whole vote

negro vote easily. They went around

CUBLODEN NOTES.
Cullnden, Oct. 6.—(Speclol.)~Thl8 pre
cinct went Democratic by an overwhel
ming majority of 195. The Populists got
only 7, making 202 votes polled. The Grlx-
xly was on hand, but he could manage
nothing at all. They fixed themselves
near the polls for the purpose of keeping
a tally sheet, but we are happy to say
they did not accomplish anything.
Mr. E. T. Wynn of *he,1lrm of IS. T.

Key West. Oct. E.—Nearly every day
fresh Information reaches here from the
keys surrounding this place, relative to
the loss of life In the recent hurlcane.
(Mr. Finder, who resides on East Nat-
loumble Key. was here today. He eays
that on tho morning of September 29
two sailors drifted ashore with Ufa pre
servers from the British bark Brandon,
of Quebec front Ship Island, Fasoa-
Koula, for 'Liverpool, with a cargo of
timber, which ran ashore on Crocus
reef at 10 o’clock on the night of Sep
tember 26, and, after pounding over the
reef, got Into tihe channel and capsized.
Another of the crew came ashore the
same night. There were seventeen In
all on board, and these three are the
only ones that have been heard of along
the coast, Tho cantata, William Red-
ford had one lee broken by a wave a3
soon as the ship had struck the reef,
and a Norwegian 1 sailor had both legs
orushed, a wave knocking him down by
the .pumps and throwing a piece of
timber across both legs, and while two
of his shipmates were trying to relieve
him another wave lifted the timber so
they could draw him out. They then
fastened a life preservtn on. him. These
survivors think that he, with the cap
tain. mute, steward and another of the
crew were drowned, r n» they were oil
In tho cabin when thi ship turned bot
tom up. .
The shore 1s full of pieces of her cab
in, forecastle ond houses and three of
her boats, oil smashed to pieces. Some
few pieces of hewn timber from her
deck are on shore. The names of tho
survtvoro of the Brandon are John T.
AVaTren, Wohvich. England; William
Spofforth. nad Lennart Lax, Finland,
Russia.
The Norwegian ship Theora was lost
off'Tiirtle Harbor, but fortunately all
hands were saved.
W. H. J. Taylor, tho Engllih Swedish
and French vice-consul, provided for
the crenu and looked In every manner
after their comfort.
On September SSbh Messrs. Sam WJ11-
Luma nnd Leonard Lowe discovered the
body of a drowned man on the outside
of Tavenear Kev. After Informing some
neighbors of the clreumutances, .they
repaired to a place near where the dead
body lay and prepared a grave above
the hurricane tide and laid to rest a
stranger to all present. The body was
much swollen on dlsoolored, having
nothing upon it which could lead to
Its Identification.
It is Hkelv that the number of lives
lost will never be known, as communi
cation with the keys Is difficult.

New York, Oct. 5.—R. G, Dun & Co.’s

somowhat restricted consumption of

crops of the West anti Smith sluklng
in value, It is not strange that pur.
chases of manufactured products are

Wheat lias touched the lowest point
over known for options, and cotton tho
lowest ever known In any form, with
tlio present classification, and the ac
cumulation of stocks lu both produots
Is discouraging to purchasers for an
advance. Producers are compelled to
sell at prices below the ordinary cost
of raising crops, und lu sumo Western
states there Is also a lamentable fail
ure of tlio emu crop, liuder the cir-
cumslanee.t, it would bo very Strange
If tlio demand for manufactured prod.
utes should be quite as largo ua lu other
years.
Cotton is one-eighth of it cent lower,
tlio cash price being the lowest known
for forty-five years, and, considering
the dilTemiee in classification, It Is
perhaps lower than at any time slnco
jUlO. and estimates that tile crop Is
more than In,om),000 hales are more
commonly credited now than estimates
of 8,7.0,000 lull's were two months ago.

SUN’S COTTON REVIEW.
New York, Oct. 5.-The Sue In Its re
view today says: Cotton declined 8 io 9
points, recovered this nnd mlvnnce.1 6 to 7
points, then reacted and ciosed steady at
sn advance of about I points net for tht
day. Liverpool advance,1J.321 on the spot
and 4 to 41fc points for future delivery,
closing steady with an advance In futures
of 2 to 314 points, wuh spot sales of 10.000
bales, making 78,000 In tho live lays. In
Manchester yarns ind cloths were dearer
end less active. British consols declined
2-lCd. New Orleans at one time was 6 to
I points lower; laf— - i this und
advanced 7 to 9 points and atilt filer on
lost part of this. Spot cotton was l-'l cf
a cent higher. Savannah and Oalveston
advanced It of a cent nnd New (q teens
and Memphis 1-15 of a cent.
Today's Features.—If receipts continue
to fall as much lielotv those of 1191 as
they have of late It looks as though the
*,000,000 bales crop estimate will he tossed
tu the winds. Doth at the ports und In
terior towns th below the
mark, If esUmatcs of a yield approxi
mating tho Same as that of 1831 are to bo
maintained. Today Liverpool was active
and higher and It retained part of tlio
advance at tho cloee. Tliero was some re
action hero awing to a reaction In Liver
pool und a report that the Csar of Russia
wus dead. Warmer weather was pre
dicted for some parts of the cotton belt
and there was free long liquidation and
also some bear hammering: a rumored
failure in Wall street also affected prices.
The rumor in regard to the exar wns de
nied. The crop movement proved to be
moderate, there was x better demand
from outsiders, former lioiro espoused the
bull cause and bought freely, local shorie
covered and Europe nn) u: Mouth sent
buying orders. Cotton go»>.la were strong,
with a better demand. Hllver was rising
and there was leas prvtsute to ssll the
actual cotton.

The .welcome Morris Park received yes

too nice. Any how there was a crowd of
speculators In tho Pavilion nnd they put
their good money down with conlldence,
and, no matter what the result, felt they
were getting; a run for It. That’s tho dif
ference. ‘Now, cast your eyo on today's

Won’t It be a race? You’ll bo able to

ORIOLES STILL KICIC.
Baltimore, Md., Oot. 8.—Hundreds
of Baltimore enthusiasts who had nr-
longeil to go ta New York tonight to
sen the Orioles and Giants play ball
tomtarronv cireeellcd thotr o judge
ments. Tbo Now Yorks -won Itho sec
ond game of -the Tomple series much
as ttioy nvon yesterday's game—by
outba-ldng the homo club—find tho
’’rooters’’ were »d In consequence.
It -was not alone tho l-oss of the
game, however, .(halt caused So many
hoartadhea. More properly should the
dissatisfaction an d din iff nettem he
attributed to the faults of 'Che players
while off Che field.
The Orioles were In as uncertain a
trine of mind over the playing of ahe
Temple serlr-s as they were ystorday.
Some of the players were sulking nnd
wrangling. MOOrl-w npenly asserted
that ho would not pity In another
game. The outlook was not encourag
ing for a continuation of tho sport,
ami tt was then that *ho people of
Baltimore, os they become acquainted
with the facts, began to criticize uho
pennant winners.
.Manager Hanlon presented the con
ditions to the players, and they were
all on .the field this afternoon, but
their minds -were In a chaotic state
and I heir nerves not of the steadiest.
The boys put up a good game of ball,
however, and partially- redeemed
themselves In tihe opinion of th«tr
friends. The teams left for New York
tonight, where the third game of the
series will be played tomorrow.
»A crowd of neiriy 11,000 person*
•were on the grounds when the game
was called, lit was an Ideal day for
baseball. New York earned fournin*
In the third Inning. Baltimore tied the
score In tbetr half of the same Inning
arid took the load In the seventh. The
(Xante .tied the score In the eighth
•rid won out In ithe ninth on Jennlng's
error.
The side Would hove been retired hntl
Jennings made -wtoek would ordinarily
have been nn easy play. Tleman’s
triple cleared the -bases. The Orioles
■cored one and had three men left on
bases Hi the ninth.

Manchester, Oct. 5.—Tlio Gunrdltm
says today Unit English diplomats In
lupan cabled tn Lumlon on September
U0 tho deslluatlwu of the secret expedl-
Uun Which left lilraahimn last week
uud iilao described tlie pulley Unit tho
Japanese government would adopt In
the event of the collnpsu of China.
dlussla und Englnnd, however, bnvo
decided Unit tho settlement of tho
trouble between China and Japan shall
tio an International, nhd uot merely a
Japanese affair, and this fact lias
tended to muho Japan angry.
Uernutuy mid France, uto Uiutrdlnu
says, concurred In the plan te make
the settlement nn International mat
ter. The policy of the United Suites
government is uncertain. It lias been
the tendency of Uto United States for
tho last twenty years to strike its own
lino on eastern questions without re
gard to other powers.
Japan In her present mood will pay
no heed to the reprcsontiittaJM made by
tho powers, unless they shall be ac
companied by tangible evidence of tho
Inteutieu to back them up. It was tu
authorize this, according to the Utiard-,
Ian. that tho ministerial council of yes
terday was summoned. Tbo paper
further says that after it showing of
force Japan will be told that England
desired Unit an armistice tio estab
lished anil on behalf of Europe would
Immediately call uu luteruatlunul con
ference.
The Ulobe, In nn nrttclo referring to
yosterdny's ministerial council, ridi
cules the Idea Uiat It was summoned
merely for tho puriwse of- sending
will-ships to protect tbo lives aud prop
erty of British residents in China, nnd
expresses the opinion that the Man
chester Unurdlan’s article of today
gives the real reason for tlio meeting
of tlio minister. Tho. Ht. James Ga
zebo exprenses a similar opinion.
A dlsjimtch to the Standard from Ber
lin says: Tlio VobsIcIio ifr-ltuug re
gards the Corean war ns a forerunner
of ii great Auglo-Ilusslau collision,
which tlio coirlliotlug Interests of thoso
powers are certain sooner or later to
bring about.
Tito admiralty liavo countermanded
the orders Issued to Uto cruiser st.
George, now at Portsmouth, to pro
ceed to Clfina, and have selected In
tier place tho cruiser Gibraltar of tbo
same station.
A Yokohama dispatch published hero
says: Tlie German residents of Japan
have resolved to appeal to Germany
against Ulo proposed revision of tho
treaty between ucmany nnd Jajiau re
garding foreign consular Jurisdiction.
Julian desires tho treaty revised on
the line of tho recent treaty between
Engliind-nnd Japan, which, after a cer
tain period, does away with tlie Brltwh
consular courts. Tlio Germans ure
opposed to the nbolltlou of the consular
courts.
