ALL GEORGIA REJOICES
The State Saved From the Sway
of Outside Bosses.
THE TERMINAL REBUKED*
AND MACUNE AND HIS INTERLOPING
GANG SPEWED OUT.
A Glorious Fight Won Against Over-
powering Odds—One Ballot Did
It—Calhoun Left Out of Slght-
Atlanta Delirious With Jojr
Enthusiasm Throughout
Atlanta. Nov. 18.—'(Special.]—Never,
perhaps, ia her history, not even when
democracy raised first her down-trodden
head from the ashes of war, not when
Cleveland’s eloction fulfilled tho Southern
hope, has Atlanta witnessed such a
demonstration in honor of a political
•vent as that which is being conducted
to-night.
This dispatch is written among tho
exultant shouts of the multitude, the
firing of ro.kets mid tho blowing of
horns, when speeches are being delivered
0 block away to an audience of 35,0J0,
and tho heavy concussion of artillery
shakes the windows till they seem alout
to fall to fragments.
John B. Gordon has been elected United
Btatcs seuator. llis triumph has been
»\ve: ping, and tho people are wild with
cnthusiain.
ONLY ONE BALLOT.
One ballot settled it, and John B, Gor
don goes to the United .Stabs Senate.
Calhoun received a much smaller vote
than was expected in both houses. Nor
wood led him by ono vote in the Scnuto
and more than doubled him in the
House.
At a very early hour it was found that
tho crowd would be too greut for the ca
pacity of the representative chamber
and the doors were shut and a strong
guard of doorkeepers, each with n num
ber of stout porters to assist him, hrld
them against the curious numbers who
(urged into tho budding till at sotuo
wints it was difficult to make one’s
.vay through tbo corridors.
EARLY RUMORS OF TIIE PAY.
k ne of the earliest reports of the day
jji got out was that a Gordon man
.-ulm carried off to testify as a wit-
"“Stsome town away from the cupi-
This produced considerable excite-
csit. Then it was underlined that a
otion was on foot td inject Hon. Ciif-
ird Anderson’s name into the flelit
itliout his consent in order to weaken
nloD. CoL Anderson is said to havo
__ ograplied Mr. Huff under no circum
stances to do so, and it was also stated
JiatCapt. Clifford Anderson, Jr., would
cul on Mr. Huff to forbid sucli action.
These reports and others scattered Jiko
wildfire among tho crowd and the effect
Was maddening suspense,
THE FIRST GOOD NEWS.
The first good news was the announce
ment of a lest vote just taken in the
House on a motion to bring on tho vote
of that body at 11 o’clock instead of 12,
the hour agreed on. The Senate was to
veto at 11 o'clock, and as it was known
that the Senate would give Gordon a
inajo ity his oppoecra in the House
wished to anticipate the effect of a Gor
don victory on the other side of the
rotunda.
Upon this motion tha vote as an
nounced stood 44 for and 88 against ad
vancing the hour. This was construed
es signifying that tho Gordon men were
on hand, and yet oven then bets were
Jreely offered that tho senator would
suither be he nor Calhoun.
Fleming led the gordonitks.
To Mr. Fleming of Richmond tho
management of the parliamentary tac
tics of the day were left by Gordon’s fol
lowers in last night’s caucus, and every
danger of that sort was wisely guarded
against or proninly met.
Aft-w minutes past eleven a great
shout went up from the Senate chamber
announcing that the balloting had be
gun and was progressing satisfactorily
for the popular side.
By this time the crowd in tho corridors
was exceedingly large. The people
peeked the Senate galleries to suffocation
end hurrahed themselves hoarse when
the result of the vote was announced.
THE HOUSE STORMED.
Then rushing out in a mass mado a de
termined effort to storm the House.
Home gained admission, but the great
mass remained in tlio halls outside press
ing against the doors till they were near
ly ready to forsake their binges.
At 12 o’clock, before the 1 louse began
balloting, Speaker Howell made a little
quieting threat to the. House and gal
leries a la Appius Claudius in the play,
tie gave the people to understand that
if they didn’t keep quiet he would sus
pend business on the first outbreak, and
if necessary order the sergeant-at-arms
to clear the gal erieaor house if needful.
It was also announced by the chair that
some members outside could not get in
to vote, and tho doorkeepers were in
structed to | roduco thorn. Whether they
finally succeeded in making their way in
the press and confusion was too greut to
. know'.
The nominations of tiio various candi
dates then followed, Gordon receiving
seconds from all parts of the House till
the crowd was weary of cheering.
HUFF OUT OF HIS SHELL.
Mr. Huff, whose position has been a
Handing puzzle, nominated Mr. Ham
mond* It was thought he was for Cal-
houu.
Tho rule excluding commendatory re-
maekj was violated a little by Mr. Berner,
who paid Gordon a spleddld tribute.
Though frequently called to order, ho
went straight ahead. The chair did not
interpose and tho gslieries were doting
nuntof the hopes of the fu'ure—John B.
Gordon. (Cheers and traps from tho
gavel. J *
He was of tho people and he was
proud of it. He bad worked, played,
lived among the people and he knew
that whoever would go to tho hearth
stones of tho people would find
them for the man

and Wall street (Here a point of order
was cheered down and U>‘. Berner pro
ceeded.)

sit down, was cheered to tho ccba
it was a close suave.
Presently the vote was taken. Col
Ryals, who said last night that Gordon
would bo elected on the first ballot,
modified his view this morning and
stated to the Tellobai*ii correspondent
three minutes before the balloting began
that bUch a result would be roused by a
vote or two.
'1 lie figures given below show how ac
curately the Gordon men had calculated.
CALHOUN VOTES HISSED.
The first man who voted in the House
cast his ballot for Calhoun and received
u storm of hits.-h. Norwood then got a
vote, which was followed hv tho first for
Gordon, ft belonged to Atkinson of
Coweta, and was applauded to the roar.
Another Calhoun man voted and was
hi ftc-d, and so was the next and the
next, just os they had been in the
Senate.
"Whether Calhouu*s supporters were
discouraged in the beginning or whether
they felt oppressed by tho feeling that
the crowd was against tlicai, it was a
noticeable /net that they nearly all voted
in to subdued a tono of voice that tho
clerk had frequently to call upon them to
repeat in order that their choice might

Mr. .Sib'ey, whose reply when bis name
was called was sharp and quick,
womack’s lonk vote.
Mr. Graves of Newton stated that
having been so instructed by his county,
a voted for Emmet Womack and
Jicn the balloting was finished and
Womack had no other vote but his ho
aid that having been co »vinced that
us county’s candidate could not bo
elected ho felt at liberty to go to Gordon.
ASKED TO BE EXCUSED.
Mr. Parker of Thomas vote 1 not at ail.
He asked unanimous consent and was
ixcused. This wa# tho only member to
lake such a course. Several others who
had anti-Gordon instructions and anti-
Calhoun convictions contemplated sim
ilar action, but finding Norwood's name
still before the asssmbly. voted for him.
That Calhoun should nave secured
such n trifling vote in both houses was a
surprise to tho general public only
equ alled by that resulting from his nom
ination Thursday night.
C'liEElUNU THE GORDON VOTES
An interesting effect was produced by
the (jbet-fiiig of ihe great crowd outside
legislative hall. At first erery
Gordon vote was cheered promptly, long
and loudly by thoso within, and au the
names of Gordon’s supporters were
thickest in the earlier letters of the alpha-
these manifestations
proval a were very frequint.
By and by, things settled down and
a decimal system was adopted, each
tenth vote only using cheered. It took
about a half a minute for the votes to
become known outside, and just as the
cheors of the nore fortunate few died
away they were answered fro a the mul
titude with an appreciative shout. It
sounded like an uproar and suggested
iiml »li j cwuiitryr was ratifying ins action
of its assembly step by step.
Gordon nun was keeping a tally
sheet near the speaker’s desk. Whenever
a doubtful man voted for Gordon he
would utter a soto voice, “good.” Mr.
Boifeuillet of Bibb was one of the first
to elicit this exclamation.
AND BAXTER TOO,
Mr. Baxter was also thought to bo for
Hammond but shortly before tho ballot
determined on Gordon. These votes
coming early no doubt Influenced the
vole.
Wisdom selected Gordon” said a
member, and the statement is coulirmed
by the tally.
Fur n rojected candidate Norwood,
who nearly doubled tie anti-Gordun
nominee, seems to have doue very well
He believea, it is raid, that bis apeeches
broko the backbone of the Gordon op
position. It did have a great dial to do
with it
WHEN TIIE FIOHT WAS WON.
However Reed and Harper, in the Al
liance oaucua on the night of the fourth,
broke up ring rule and foreign manipula
tion in Georgia und Gordon's elect on
was assured when Macuneism was van
quished.
One of the transparencies to-night sug
gested that the doctor mi lit now retire
to theseclml >n of home life, by the way.
The vote will not be consulted before
to morrow, as the enthusiasm which
overran the House and forced it to ad
journ a* or ly after Gordon was known
to bo safe prevented tho clerk from tak
ing down all the changes.
It is not known how big Gordon’s ma
jority was alter Norman changed to
Gordon and was lifted in the nir, as it
were, by Clifton and set ou a table. It
took tea minutes for the hurrahing to
subside sufficiently for any individual
well to be heard. There reigned a pan
derooniumof delight;

duce the volume of business ot general
as-emblies by at least one- bird. Ihcse
follow the line of Governor Norton's

ougu al address. He provides for sn
amendment of article 8, section
7, paragraph 18 of tha
constitution,' removing from the
legislature the vesture with corporate
powers of rai roads, insurance compa-
n os, canal companies, telegraph and ex
pose companies, etc., and his other bill
provides the machinery for the issuance
of such from the office of the secretary
of state. Senator Glenn s*ys this work,
now costing the state considerable
money, can be performed by the execu
tive department without any cost what
ever. The change contemplated is based
on timiUr methods in other states, aud
he claims for it the adv- ntsge of having
all petitions for charters which are re
quests for special laws for specific pur-

Among tho biisine«e of the iuo.ning
souiK bills wero offered that call for more
than cursory comment.
Mr. Atkinson of Columbia proposes to
surround tho sale of sued cotton with
still greater restrictions than the laws of
tho state now provide. Such sales are

Mr. Lewis of Hnncock introduced a
bill whLh h destined to create a ripple
of excitement in manufacturing circles.
His bill stipulates that when a mill shuts
down and cm ploy es are, through no fault
of t eirs, thus thrown ou< of eoploymrat
they thtJl leteive two mou ha pay m tbe
same rate as were they employ, d, aid
that whero an employe is dis
charged through no fault of
his, previous to the shut-down, he
shall receive tho usuil pay. This bill is
an effort at equity in prem suh
where mills aro arbitrary and throw
labor into enforced idleness. It is hardly
probable that tho hill will receive a
favorable consideration, but some lively
talks may be indulged in wlun it conies
back fr m the munufacturingcommitue.
T(>e hill grew out of a mill complication
