Elect tAtklnson. with Mrs. ALWnson,
spent -tthe day in Atlanta. Mr. Atkin-
won called on Governor Nontken at. tho
executive office and held quite an ex
tended Interview with fcim about mat
ters pertaining to the office. .
Mrs. A/tkimson will be the gnest
Mrs. Northen nex week. Mrs. Nor then
is now quite sick. She lias been closely
con fined ito lier room for <bwo weeks
and la ns yet unable to receive vis
itors.
Mr. Atkinson feels quite happy over
■the result of WfJdnesday’e election.
TOe crtiuin of Uhe Idn-z campaign-has
•been hard on him. but 'the realization
•'that It is all over Was already had -a
revivifying effect omthe governbr-eleot.
Mr. Atkinson does not take, the re
sult as a surprise. He believes it to
have been the natural result} of .dis
sension inside 'the party, over the finan
cial question, land the refusal \ot come
of ithe leadens to stand squarely up
tto the pla'tfonm and to nlmaelf as the
sbandlard-bearer of the party.
'Mr. Atkinson, however,' thinks
'Wednesday’s warning will be heeded
in the November elections, and the
result •will foe a much better Demo
cratic fight than would have been put
up under other circumstances. Ilo ih
coi fldent tha»t the Fourth district will
go straight and dons not take much
slock in Watson’s confidence of . elec
tion in the To rath.
The official vote for governor, with
eight counties n’ot yet heard from,
gives Mr. Atkinson a majority of
24.490. *
The counties from which no official
repents have been received are C^tht
den, Chariton, Echol9, Irwin, Jones,
Ta* traall Towns and Webster. It is
ent!malted that these counties will In
crease Mr. Aitklnison’e majority be
tween 500 aifd 1,000.
From a partial comparison of *the
vote for the state-house officers and
for governor it is estimated'that Mr.
Atkinson will run behind his ticket
more ithan 5,000.
Mr. Atkinson’s largest majority was
received in OiwWhtfm counity, which
cave Mm 2.749. His smallest official
•majority came from Banks, which
was 21.
Mr. Hines’ largest majority was in
Columbia counity, where he received
893 more votes than “Mr. Atkinson. His
smallest mnjorly was 3, in Rockdale
C Mr. Atkinson’s avrage majority in the
counties whfch went for him is 39a.
Mr. Hines’ aveiusre majority In the
counties he carried Is 208. -
•Mr. iHimt? carried six countit's which
gave.a majority to the rest of the Dem
ocratic ticket and elected Dem’ocnvtlc
legislature. t -

legislature will be made up as follows:
»In the Senate—Democrats, 36; Popu
lists, 7; Republican, 1.
In the House—Democrat®, 130; Popu

It Is the Democrattle candidate who will

FAYETTE'S OFFICIAL VOTE.
Only tile County Commissioners Are
Held By the Democrats. ,
Fayetteville. Oct. 0.-(Spec^il.)—The
consolidated vote in Fayette was:
Hines S67, Atkinson. 71)J. Cook, for
representative, 8-12; Blalock, S08. The
remainder of tho state ticket was be
hind in about the same proportion us
that for governor.
Democratic county commissioners
were elected because one district failed
to send in any returns in regard to
county commissioners. It was thought
at one time the managers would throw
out two districts whose tally sheets
and lists of voters did not come in un
der seal, hut the managers decided to
eeud the vote up Just as rece.ved, to
gether with two other districts whose
papeis were not signed up by the man
agers unddr certificate as to these and
otht.-r irregularities in tin* vote.
Tacre was Intense feeling on ihc
part of tho Populists when It was
tufted that the districts would bo
thrown out, thus giving the Democrats
the majority for all candidates.
The election was very quiet. In home
districts. In others not so quiet, yet
no oue was seriously .hurt. There
were a good many challenges made.
Wt |> lied i.\«r -.'**) vat'-s, m »r«* than
has ever been polled. It Is thought
some voted more than once.
Toe Democrats will contest We feel
confident that when a fair count Is
made we will come our v,ctoriong.

AT $IORRIS PARK.
Henry of Niavarre Wius a Great Race
From CHffoiU and Domino.
Morris Park Race Trabk, N. Y.,
Oct. 6.—The baittle for the supremhey
of tihe American runfiing turf vud
fought on the undulating plains of
Westchester this afternoon, and Henry
of Navarre now wears the crown.
The race .was a Uhree-comered spe
cial. Henry of Navarre, the ontfe peer
less Domino and tihe doughty champion
of the West, Clifford, were (the con
testants. The financial prize w^s $5,000.
This was not the only stake. The
championship was really at issue.
Domino had beaten Henry of Na
varre and (had also run a dead heat
with him. Clifford hiad suffered de
feat a't Domino’s hands au'd had low
ered the colors of the unlucky Henry
of Navarre. In all of thesu finishes
Whey h'ad been only noses apart, and
each horse had been driven to the ut
most limit of endurance to beat the
other, with idle exception of Domino’s
ra.ee with Clifford.
The Interest in the race was at fever
heait. Domino was the ‘popular idol
and he was tih’c favorite. Clifford was
also in more active demand itttran Henry
of Navarre.
The bugle call summoned the equine
gladiators to the post at 4:30 o’clock,
Domino showing more temper than
u.~u.iil and a decided reluctance to go
to the post, appeared alt the head of tho
stretch. It look hla trainers quite a
llt.tle time to move. Domino was greet
ed with. terrific applause. Henry of
Navarre did no create any g>res»t en-
tlhilateuam wihen 'he cantered* slowly past
the grnnd stand -to show ihis color-3.
Clifford came Inf or a burst of ap
plause.
The 25,000 persons 'thoit surged In
ajid about the lawns and grand stand
arose as one person to greet him.
There were* everal minor breaks beforo
they, got'the signal to go. Domino thud
a slight advantage over Henry of Na
varre, While Clifford was at their
heels. Domino at once began to force
tho.pace. It w.-is his forte to tip-toe
Henry of Navarra from flag flail to
finish. He went one to do this. It
Mwndd to suit Henry of Navarre. He
went /with (him. Domino had cl lead of
a head at the first furlong post and
the pair were a length and a half be
fore Clifford. They raced up the incline
and «icross f&be brow of the bill with
out the sllglute^t change.
The pace was terrific and the excite
ment Intense as they neared the home
stretch without any change. The water
towerw as passed and the were iu. the
long undulating home stretch. Doeilno
then tried to draw clear of Henry oi Na
varre, but he was unable to do so. Toe
chestnut hung to him. with bulldog tan-
acltv. At the furlong post Domino began
to -show signs of faltering.
Taral began to drive him. It was no
use. He struggled on under cniel goad
ing from whip and *pur. His taslc, how
ever, was too much for him. Taral sen
sibly *aw tho futility of further perse
verance and gave in.
“Seo Clifford,” rang out beforo toe
groans which emanated from the throats
of the Domino admirers as their Idol fell
from his pedestal, had died away. Wltn
that, wonderful spacenlevouring stride
that made him famous, Clifford bounded
up to Henry of Navarre.
'•He wins In a gallop," shouted every
one with the same breath. The cry was
premature. Clayton had not yet called
upon Henry of Navarre. When Clifford
got his nose In front Clayton settled down
to ride Henry of Navarre. A desperate
struggle ensued. Amid Intense excite
ment Henry of Navarre slowly but surely
drew away from the doughty Clifford) and*
crossed the line a winner by a length.
The result was a disappointment, but vic
tor and vanquished alike were cheered.
It is plain that Domino is not a stayer.
The hills were too severe a test for him.
The day was one of the greatest in the
history of Morris Park, both os regards
the size and fashion of the crowd which
saw the races. The weather was also
perfect.
IN THE PAVILION.
Attendance good; Speculation brisk.
The sport was of the best and no little
enthusiasm was manifested all around.
It was In reality a great day for the turf.
Some enjoyed it—then some didn’t. And
that's#the way It goes. It’s not in tho
pa per 3 to have a Navarre running for
you every day, and yet every one has his
day. Hence it is that while "a sporting
life may be checkered, Its never dull.”

HILL ACCEPTS
THE NOMINATION
Ho Sinks Personal Preferences for Pub
lic Duly and Makes a Ringing
Speech.
DEMOCRATS MUST UNITE.
That Was the Keynote Sounded flu His
Address of Acceptance—Drown Takes
the Place of Oaynor 011 the
Ticket for Judge.
New York, Oct. 0.—Thu uncertainty
regarding the Democratic ticket In
this state has at length been removed
and die following ticket will take tho
Hold In tho coming election: For gov
ernor, DaMd Bennett Hill of Elmira;
for lieutenant-governor, Daniel Look-
wood of Buffalo; Judge court of ap
peals, Charles F. Brown of Newhurg.
This result was accomplished after a
conference lasting all day, In which
tho members of tho state committee,
Senator Hill and tho leaders of tho
party from all over the state partici
pated.
Nearly all of the members of tho
Democratic state committee assembled
at the headquarters nt tho Farit Ave
nue hott-1 at II o’clock today. They
found very little to do, however, as
the leaders of the party were holding
a conference In the hotel In regard to
tho tilling of the third place on tbo
ticket. Finally Lieutenant-Governor
Sheehan announced that the committee
would nominate Judge Charles' F.
Browu of Nowburg for Judgo of tho
court, of appeals. This was the result
of the all-day conference between tho
leaders.
Then die notification committee,
bonded by Maj. Hinckley, chairman
of the state committee, proceeded up
stairs to notify Senator Hill and Mr.
Lockwood of their -nominations.
Senator Hill, flanked on cither side
by Mayor Gilroy mid W. Bourko Cock-
ran and followed by Mr. Lockwood
and the other members of tho notifica
tion oommlttee, was escorted to the
committee room.
There was a choer from the assem
bled state committeemen as Hill en
tered die room. He st'dod with Ids
back to the mantlepiece, holding some
manuscript m his hand. Mr. Lockwood
stood on Mr. Hill’s right, while grouped
In front wero 'Mayor Gilroy, Delaney
Nlcoll, Bourko CJockran and the other
Tammany men.' ,
Mr. Hill was then formally notified
by MaJ. Hinckley of Ids nomination.
Ho bowed Ids head in’ acknowledgment
and a smilo played over his face. Then
Congressman Cockrun stepped forward
and, standing In front of Mr. Hill, ad
dressed him. As he was speaking Ills
big form swayed to and fro and bis
voice echoed through tho room In Im
passioned accents.
••senator Hill," said Mr. Cockran,
"the committee of notification formally
tender* you the nomination wldcli was
made in your presence In tho conven
tion at Surtoga. That nomination, un-
forseen by you and Unexpected by the
country ut large, has been tho signal
for Domocrutio revival all over tlio
country uud will bo tho chief plunk
lu the bridge over which tho Demo-'
cratlo hosts will march to victory
throughout thiK country on elect.on
day. AVe might have so respected your
scruples under ordinary circumstances
and consented not to put your name In
nomination, but In times of danger
like tho present we felt it was your
duty to lead us to victory.
"We appeal to you by all tho tri
umphs ot the past, by all tho dlllicul-
tlcs of tho present and by nil the hopes
of the future.to oomo forward. Wo
ask you to lend us onco more and we
ate certain that when the standard
will bo placed In your bands, It will
be the signal that the battle Is already
won and wo win be guaranteed a vic
tor}- before the first blow shall havo
been struck."
Then turning to Mr. Lockwood, he
said that In the last election ho fought
under another lender than the gentle
man who headed tho lloket today,
“In the days of our proserlty," said
Mr. Cockran, "wc could afford to havo
coinpctit.on for distinguished places.
But In this hour of peril we must have
hut one parly, bo aulniated by a tinglo
thought, devoted to a single cause and
moved by a single leader The conven
tion has asked you to stand side by
side with the gallant leader that has
led us to victory so often."
Senator Hill then made Ills reply,
which wis cheered to tho echo. When
-he said ho was ready to iceept the
nomination and would -lead the ticket
In the coming campaign, tlie enthusi
asm of the state oornmltteomen knew
no bounds. Mr. Hill slid in part:
“While keenly apprceiuilug the htch
honor conferred ill being nominated
for a third time by one party for so
I important a position, yet 1 cannot liut
feel that personally 1 nave everything
to lose and nothing to gam by tiio con
test to which you so summon me. Hie
1 gubernatorial ofllco has no longer any
j attraction lot me. and personally I
• preferred to remain tn the senate,
i where tho duties were gr.iiluailv In
coming more congenial to my tastes,
aiul where f believe I could more ac
ceptably servo tho Intero-es of this
great state. But personal considera
tions must have 30 weight where pub
lic duty is concerned.
"Toe Democratic party, especially
in this state. U confronted with a great
crlet-s, which subs.an : illy involves iu
existence as a political orginlzitlon.
Our opponents, fokinsr advantage of
-U-elr accidental supremacy in the
legislature and In the constitutional
convention, are seeking to fasten upon
the -people of the state a system of
apportionment ot representation which
virtually-gives tare• Republicans con
trol of the legislative department of
the state for twenty years to come—
a system based upon territorial area
rather than upon population, founded
upon injustice and iniquity and de
signed to enable the minority Wither
■than the majority of the people to
control the suhe.
"The very life of our party Is at
stake. BcsWes. -the control of the next
house of representatives may depend
upon the election here.
"The Democratic convention having
against my protest selected me to load
In such a crisis, and although I ex
ceedingly regret Its action, -and espe
cially regret Slut my Advice was not
adopted In regard to tihe representa
tion In tho convention itself, uud while
I have sought during the past week,
as punsowal and Intimate political
frtcr.-ds well know, not only to henl tind
harmonize tnwlonal dleorences, but to
secure some other candidate wholly ac
ceptable to every one to assume my
plaice In this great struggle, In whoso
favor I would gladly retire, bult which
has not proved feasible, and recollect
ing Chat the, Democratic party of this
state has honored sue In the past -when
I sollcItiM Its favors lit the days of Its
sunshine -and prosperity, I oalinot de
sert it now -In -lie hour of Its danger
ar.d In this great emergency.
"It Is a time when-personal sacrifices
are demanded, when Individual pref
erences must be subordinated to tho
general good, and when there must bo
exhibited a lofty patriotism. If we
win In this contest It wilt be the par
ty’s victory, not mine; if wo lose, It
will be the party’s defeat which will
be Involved in my own.
"Personally, 1 am largely Indifferent to
the consequences ot the struggle. A duty
confronts me und I shall perform It ns
Ood gives me the Ism to" see ’t. let the
results be what they may. I shall confi
dently appeal to the plain people of the
state, who have always sustained me In
the past when I have espoused their
cause. I shall prlBent to thorn the Issue
of Democracy versus Democracy! .the is
sue of no public taxation except for pub
lic purposes; Tho Issue of opposition to tho
centralization of all powers In the general
government; tho Issue of personal liberty
against religious Intollcrance; the Issue
of good government, liberal and just ex
cise lajws, economy in finbltc expcdltures.
the promotion of tho dignity of labor ana
protection of Its rights; municipal home
rule; the uprooting of corruption and the
correction ot abuses everywhere, whether
In Republican or Democratic localities.
’’Gentlemen, I ’ accept tho nomination
which you, In behalf of tho Democratic
party )f New Volk, have tendered me.
and, relying upon the undaunted courago
cf tho Democratic masses, their fortitude
inter adverse elivimiotnnces, their loyalty
to their principle.! which truly represent
the people's cause, I enter upon this con-
tst with the determination that no non-
c.rable effort on my* part shall he spared
to achlova success, and with tho confi
dence which IS on earnest of assured vic
tory.”
After Mr. 11111 had concluded Mr. Lock-
wood also replied, accepting the nomina
tion for lieutenant governor. He said:
"J a a. cure you that I fully npprcclato tho
compliment paid mo by tho Democratic
party in placing me In nomination for
tho responsible andr honorable office of
lieutenant governor. For tho kind words
you have expressed In conveying to mo
the action of the convention I thank
you."

stated that tho Ohlneso Imperial coun
cil was disorganized and that tho col-
lapso of tho government was not looked
upon as an impossibility, nud advised
that Instant action ho taken for tho
protection of tho llveo and property of
British subjects In China.
Tlio substnneo of his dispatch WM
at onco communicated by Lord Host
bery to tho governments ot Prance,
Russia and Germany, with tho sugges
tion that tlio powers co-oprato lu In
creasing iho guard at tho treaty ports'
nud In measures for tho protection of
tho missionaries.
When the cabinet met on Thursday,
friendly responses front all threa of
tho powers named had 'ooen reclvcd,
and the3o so thoroughly cleared up tho
situation ns to enable tho ministers to
giro tho premier and tho Earl of Kim
berly, secretary of stato for foreign af
fairs, free hand to toko whatever steps
In tbo matter they might consider uoc-
cssary.
No question of Intervention botwoen
Japan and China has arisen, however.
It is reported that preparations itro
being mado to send 10,000 additional
troops to occupy tho leading treaty
ports, and If tho present Intention Is
curried out, parliament, on reassem
bling, will ho asked to grant a credit
of 4,000,000 pounds to cover tho ex
penses of tho expedition. Tho offers
of mediation between China and Japan
are all widely divergent. Tlio truth of
tho matter Is that It is tho general lio-
llcf In olllelal circles that tho members
of tho cabinet arc unanimously against
any foreign Interference, nuil, so far
11s Great Britain Is concerned, favor
allowing the Jnpnnoso to reap tho full
fruits of their victory, unless, of course,
they reek to Injure tho commercial in
terests of Europe.
Since tho holding of ho cabinet coun
cil. instructions have been cabled to the
British minister ot Pekin and the Brit
ish consuls at *11 tho treaty ports tn
send to tho mission stations In iho In
terior Imneretlve directions for the
withdrawal of alt tho missionaries to
the protected const districts.
The consuls wigo empowered by their
Instructions to cnil for assistance upon
Vloe-Ailmlral .Freemuntlp, commanding
tho British fleet tn OMnooe waters, who
Is authorized to send gunboats to any
possible distance un the Chlnooe rivers,
If suoh aetton be doomed nccesjary to
cover tho withdrawal of tho missiona
ries.
The Instructions arc also direct that
all mlxftlonarles. without regard to na
tionality, should be protected.
Tho few monger tclogmms thus for
received by tlie minister and consufit
fromho nearest mission otathxns Indi
cate that the missionaries there are de
termined not to dmjrt choir posts, but
to continue their wbrk In tho f.ico of all
risks.
The largest Prdtestiiit Inland mission
tn China Is engaged in. tho province of
Seh-Chuen and Hu-Pel, tn which pro
vinces antl-forelgn riots lravo incrat oft-
«n occurred. The managers of these
stations. Instead bf withdrawing the
workmen under their mipervlrion, are
sending fresh drafls of missionaries to
the various sub-stations in their dis
trict. they having received advices that
there Is no more can"? for fear of Ill-
treatment than usually exists.
The society whlah operates those.sta.
tlnns also his fbur stations In «hc pru-
vlnce of Pe-ChMI. in which province
Pekin to situated, and these four sta
tions employ OH mission-trim, no ona of
whom. 00 far as known. Is preparing to
retreat. The same may be said of the
Catholic missionaries, who tn numbers

tnlssirnnries.

The position of affairs dclrars the ad-
mlralty tran sending explicit orders how
to dispose of the vessels.covarlug the
ports, but Vice Admiral Frecmsntlo will
station gunboats at Che-Foochang and
Hankow and also at the furthest inland

At Shanghai the Indo-European police
force will be Increased on representations
made by British shippers there.
The British governbr of IfongVong re-
eent-y asaed the home government for a
decision upon the question whether or not
rice Is to be considered contraband of
wr. The £arl of Kimberly, secretary
of state for foreign affairs, telegraphed
a negative answer and it the same time
worried the Japanese authorities of tho
refusal of the government to admit tliat
rice was contraband;
Holtiement of this question was shirked
during the Frenco-CMnese troubles and
tho decision now Is against the Interests
of Japan and will not tend to increase
the friendltess of tint nation toward
England.
Private advices to the Army and Navy
Gazette explain away tho Japanese charge
that Vice Admiral Freemantlo signalled
to the Chinese the approach of the Japa-
new flert. The British vesselo, It is ssfii,
used their search Mgffts In order to re
veal their nationality md thus prvemt
an assault upon them by mlHUite.
