SH I — x i THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: WEDSESDAT. NOVEMBER 19. 1890. Right Triumphs and Gordon is Senator, 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 represented their antagonism to monopoly and Wall street (Here a point of order was cheered down and U>‘. Berner pro ceeded.) “Lot us voico with our votes the hearts people and toe that the star of success does not go down in The speaker, as lie Gordon , disastor and shame. ^ 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 he recorded. Thia conld not bo said of 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; HOWELL HAS LOST H1R CRIP. There was not a bit of humbug in Clarke Howell's declaration. Ho claimed credit for changing to Gordon. .Stat ing, if bitterly, yet hones'lr that he had declined os long as such action on his pail could effect the result. The people cf Atlanta have no patience with the war he has made on Gordon, however, aud It has cost him his popularity. on him. 1)ERNEK'S ELOQUENT TRIBUTE, He said ho roso to nominate the next senator. lie loved tho state of Georgia above ail men. lie, there tore, turned to :hat man whose patriotism met the needs tie present k and promised the fulfil* Tin-: York or tiii: vktoii*.
