8 TIIE MACON WEEL\ FELEGRAPH: TUESDAY, DEGEM HER 1,1SS5.—TWELVE PAGES. THE BLUE RIBBON WINS. ATLA5TA GOES DKY 11Y A VEUY SMALL MAJORITY. Ceorffia Ftirnlfbr, tho Kjrut City In tlie World to Adopt Prohibition Under Local Option—Tlie llulletlns of tlie Day—Inrldeota. Atlanta, November 25.—The sun Rhone brightly. The red badges of liberty of the anti-prohibitionists predominated. The blue prohibitionists were less numer ous but quite active. A sprinkling of large snowflsik ■ fell, and there was thus n min gling of red, wLitc and blue in the Btill November air. At Cook’s district poll, some ten caU*. bearing large red placards with the legend “Libert)',’’ carried voters to and from the poll. There were only two carriages labelled blue. By 10 o'clock 210 voteshadbeen cast, and of these about four to one were red, in fa vor of the sale of liquor. This is said to be one of the most quarrelsome sections in the county of Fulton, but up to the hour of 10 o'clock no disturbance bad taken plaee. Onpt. Ed Cox is the mounted marshal on tho outside. He is an anti-prohibitionist, and is very active in placing the reds in line. The colored men ap pear to be true to their promises, and as a rule vote the red ticket, talking and Bhouting for liberty and jeering their few blue brethren. Mr O. A. Smith, the leading anti-prohibitionist outside manager, polled up to 11 o'clock some fifteen blue- bodged voters, and they voted red, the wet ticket The blue managers are whispering and hobnobbing. They look decidedly blue, and promise that the Lord will punish our people if tho wet ticket prevails. Their anathemas are not loud but, self-constituted ministers of the word, they prophesy evil to all against them. At 11:30 the Kimball House boys came marching to the Cook district poll, 190 strong. At the head of the line a transpa rency with tho legend, "Kimball House Boys Marching on to Liberty and Victory,” evoked cheer Otter cheer to the dismay and terror of the prohibitionists. All wore the red badges of “Liberty," and had tickets in their hats, “For the Sale,” Considerable delay was caused by the in correct transcript of tho registration lists, and a number of persons were obliged to proceed to Mr. Cooper's ollice to obtain cer tificates, after having the errors corrected. Col. C. J. Weinmcister did Trojan work for tho nntis at Cook's polling beat, as did also Cant. Keller. Paul Jones, Esq., .was on the scene this morning and overlooking matters for awhile, gave wise counsel and inspired with in creased confidence and energy the already sanguine voters and managers of tho wet I'.cket. Till 12 o’clock naught of ruffianism pre vailed, except the ominous mnttcrings and fanatic threats of the prohibitionists. At 1 o’clock, however, a solitary blue labeled carriage appeared. It’s ' ^occupant tried to get np a “dry” shout, but he fiuled most signally. Then ho hustled around and asked for dry voters to go to down to vote. Finally he succeeded in financially persuading four more to go along. At the time only red voters were in line. At half-past two one of tho window challengers of the blues offered a manuscript file of challenges. Tho judges refused to accept it. Ho then said ho would file it with tho ordinary. Tho judges had noted the challenges made against voters whose ballots they had ac cepted. At the end of a most peaceful elec tion, with an overwhelming wet majority, it mast be said that peace and good will characterized the sayings and doings of both aides. Promptly at 3 o'clock the 876 votes were cost, and of these it is believed, upon a cartful canvas* oi the votes that the wets received a majority of 500 voles. At 6 o’clock a report was circulated that Cook's district had gone wet by only 210 majority. It is known that not more than 75 at most voted the dry ticket out of 57U. Ilulletin No* 1* Atlanta, November 25, 8:10 *. Tho morning opened raw with spitting snow. The polls were crowded at tho bonr of 7, when they opened. Tho antis, who had the negroes down at the West Poiut depot all night, marched them up in solid phalanx at <> o’clock and got them in line. They are not through voting at this time. Only 660 votes have been polled at the court house up to this hour, onu nine out of ten are antis. The dry men say the wet men are exhaust ing themselves early in the day. Every thing is qniet and orderly and the best good humor prevails. Bulletin No. 2. 9:40 a. xt.—An Immense crowd is gather ing shout the court house and enthusiasm on both sides is intense. Prohibitionists are rallying largely. Their line to one of the three boxes in the court honse is long and compact. Every man and boy in town ars on the street*. Tlie blue badges are numerous and they arc really sanguine. Carriages arrive every moment with colored voters, with either red or blue badges. v " negro walks to the polls now. Ilalletin No. 3s 1006 a. u.—At Broad street polls bines are a little ahead. Ur. Hawthorne haa just voted. Negro preacher ttainea is walking up and down the long line of blne-bailged negroes and whipping them close into line. Walter B. Hill has just told us that he was in great doubt aa to the result, but said his telegram in to-day’s Tki-kouach left him room to crawl out in case of a wet victory. liullrtln Ns 4. 1035 a. m.—The prohibitionists have the biggest crowd around the coart house now, end they talk big. Dr. J. W. 1 tan kin, who haa been at the polls since early morning, says the dry ticket will win by 1,000 ma jority. The dir men are pairing in their strength now, /alias L. Brown finding such s crowd at the door determined to drive to a county precinct to vote. Before going he asked Mayor Hillyer what county precincts had already voted on the prohibition quea- , tion, because, he aaid, he would not vote in a precinct where the question bad already been voted, as the voting there ironld not be legal. This indicates s coming contest Bnll.-tin No. 5. 1130 a. u.—Cook's district poll, West Marietta street 315 votes were cayt np to this bonr. The most careful estimates of the anti-prohibitionists makes the result thus far 3 to 1 in favor of the “wet” ticket The prohibitionists admit that the antis are ahead, bnt say that the prohibitionists are thus far beaten hers by only 2 to 1. Five hundred colored employes and their friends have just marched, headed by Charlie Beerman and covered in the rear by Cot Sooville, out Marietta street to vote at Cook’s. They were cheered all along the line. Bulletin No. 7. 12:35 r. M.—At Peachtree voting precinct, out in tho country, up to 12 o’clock 178 votes had been cast, of which 122 wore for prohibition. A vote was challenged at this poll on the ground that tho voter lived in south Atlanta nnd was registered in north Atlanta. Tlie vote was relnsed. At West End, at 11 o'clock, out of 114 votes only eight were wet. The red men are looking hlne now nnd tho blue men looking red—Hushed with victory scented afar, but too far to bank on. Bulletin No. 8. 12:45—At half-pest 12, Senator J. E. Brown walked up to Mr. It. C. Gregg and took from his hand a "for tho sale” ticket nnd voted it openly at box No. 1. He was cheered by tho crowd. Bulletin No. (I. 12:50 p. m.—The second special train ar rived at East Point at 10:45 with about fifty ] MBsengers. But for the voters from Atlan ta this place would be of no importance. No excitement. The wet side have no man agers there and may lose by it. No resident could be induced to act on that side. The third train has just arrived with about the same uuraberof passengers with few nnlis. Two cars have been dropped from the train, leaving two. The crowds are not as large as expected. Bulletin No. to. At 12:55 p. m., about 3,000 votC3 have been polled in this city. At this hour, 1 p. m., the wet men are offering to bet even with no takers. Bulletin No. II. 1:30 p. m. —At court house up to now _,000 votes have been cast, with wet ticket leading. Voting slacking up at this hour. Dry vote has spent its force now. It is con- :eded the wet ticket is ahead at the court house and that the dry ticket has spent its strength. There are now open efforts on both sides to bny votes. Although no drunken men are seen Chief Connolly has several names to report to the grand jury for violating the liquor law to-day.

Wo Have Met the Kneniy, and Wo Aro Theirs.” Atlanta, November 25,10:40p. m. —Well, it seems that the prohibs have nominally won. They bavo won through doubtful means. Tlie end is, therefore, not yet. Two districts, East Point and West End, both corporations, have hitherto declared for prohibition, and under the diction thereof they have been, as they still are, prohibited. It is claimed to bo unfair that these two municipalities, which have already made prohibition a law unto themselves by voting thereon, should have been permitted to vote a second time on the same question—to dic tate to the rest of the county to do as they have already in the past decided to do, and before thu expiration of the term for and during which they then voted to be prohib ited; and hence it will be claimed that the votes of these two districts cannot he legally counted at this time. There is sufficient (round herein to contest the election, and t is claimed by impartial gentlemen, learn ed in the law, that the contest can ho suc cessfully maintained. Thia is not a new point, it has been broached on Severn! oc casions, and it was clearly understood from the ontset that tho anti-prohibitionUts would not regard the votes of West End or East Point as legal, and that the votes cast there were under protest. It is thus evi dent that the prohibition agitation is by no means at an end. That it will be taken into tho courts; that the result will not be ltnlletln No. 13, 2:30 p. M.—It may not mean nnything bnt at East Point several darkies wearing red badges have been seen to vote prohibi tion tickets after private conference with a certain prohibitionist. Voting slow now. No truin to East Point until just at time poles close 3 o’clock. Total now at this precint, 498. Bulletin No, 14. 3 p. M.—Five hundred nnd seventy-six votes were cast in Cook's district np to this hour, when tho polled wore closed. Quite a number that had been in line went back to the city. Tho best obtainable estimate is, tbe wet ticket has a majority of 490 out of tho 576 votes cost. left at a late hour for a tour. On thoir re turn, they will take up their residence on Peachtree street. A Spiritualist Wrought Up* Atlanta, November 25.—Mr. Cates, the spiritualist, whom Dr. Hawthorne mentions sneeringly and disrespectfully in his letter to Julius L. Brown yesterday, to-day sent a personal letter to tuo Doctor demanding retraction.

Twenty-two hundred votes were polled. Hundreds of maskers with banners flying nnd bands playing arc march ing across the city to the court house, where the last groat fight will continue till 0 o’clock, Bulletin No, 10, 3:30 p. m.—The wet men have carried the North Atlanta precinct This is official. Fifteen more wet men huve just voted at tho court hunso. counted, beenuse illegal, the anti-prohibi tionists will huvo been victorious. This is about tho upshot of the election at thi- w riling. Scenes nt the polls at East Point to-day were not uncommon until tho first train from the city arrived. Then for more than nn hour men were crowded around the polls so deep that those who had voted found it difficult togetont. Not a vote was challenged during the dny. Everybody seemed in best of hnmor. The sntis lost many votes by not having their own mnna- g ers. It was the worst managed election ere I have ever seen. In counting ont ven few of the large blue tickets were opened until tho two were found folded together andhinnnnibered; then they were a little more particular. It may occur to some that it is a little strange how it was that there were only 209 votes cast, nnd yet the prohibitionists got 145 and the antis sixty six. This demands an explanation. 1 be lieve they said they found a number on one of them after they had counted ont all the rest, but the “Teleobapii correspondent’ can tell something about what was on them nt first for he was there. Not more thnri a half dozen antis came out on the truin. Once there wus only only one man wi aring a red badge came ont aud he wus hooted nt nnd jeered, nnd it seemed as if, ho would be mobbed. Tho prohibitionists certainly had thinga their own way after they did get to work. All the antis voted early and drew off from tho field. The thing is already gone into politics. To-night inquiries nre instituted os to how each nominee tor councilman and alderman voted to-day. There will be run a strictiy anti municipal ticket in order to completely whip out the prohibition crowd; a negro is to be nominated for tax collector. At last the nntis nre working np to make nn ag gressive fight which would have saved them to-daj'. The antis were too much on the defensive, but from how ou, every inch of K id will bo fought aud the war will be e aggression. ltnlletln No. 17. 3:35 p. si.—At court house it is going 2 to Phil Dodd had a man arrested who is charged with accepting $2 for a vote.

Ah far as learned at thin hour the dry dwtriots give majorities ns‘follows: South Beat, Kii; West End, 313; East Point, 74; Collins, 23: Peachtree, lib; North Atlanta, 5; Adams- ville, 38. Total 7«0 majority. The wet districts give majorities an follows: Cook’, 216; Buck head 27 nnd South Atlanta 326. Total 3112, mukiug the dry majority 221 according to my count. There were between 8,G0U and 0,000 votes polled. The victory of the prohibitionists fell like a thunderclap cm the untifl. * It was entire ly unexpected even by the most cautious of the antifi. The surprise und disappoint ment is very ftreat to-night. Men crowd the hotels discussing the subject. The onu erv is “contest the election and West End will be thrown ont, which will give tho antis a majority.” It ia agreed by the raoHt of those who lost bets not to nay until the pies tion of tho election shall be legally de termined. There is very hard feeling on the port of the defeated and it is certain that unpleasantness will ;ret arise. This has been anything but an i deal day for tho election, the disagreeable weather of yesterday continued to-day with a cold blustery wind blowing from the northwest, making overcoats a necossiry to comfort and outdoor exercise not any too pleasant Bnt despite all this, the people of Atlanta were early astir thin morning and daylight disclosed the presence of sev eral hundred at each of the central voting precincts. No election has ever been held n Atlanta which can compare with this in the interest manifest ed and the party work which has been closed by those Rides. This fact has l>een specially apparent to every visitor to the polls to-day. Hundreds of interested parties have surrounded the voting all day. seeming to nave no regard for the cold and winds. The prohibitionist* of the city served lunches in the vicini ties of tbe central. precincts and were kept constantly busy. There has been no trouble of any importance up to the hour of this writing and tho probability i» that there will bo none. Two or three incipient rows were speedily quelled by the police.
