MORCOCK A WARREN the N.mi" o a. m’s Late* Iatgil MUCH EXCITEMENT IN ATLANTA Great Crowds Gather About Political Headquarters to Hear Elec tion Returns. WATSOH CRIES OUT FRAUD The Election Wat fair, llouaver—U Wat a Democratic Victory In the Fullest Sente of the Word—- Figures Make Clio Facts. Atlanta, October 4.—(Special.)—Elec tion excitement was at fever heat to day. It was daylight this morning be fore the crowds who besieged tho news paper offices and bulletin boards last night watching returns dispersed, and all day today the same Intensity of In terest has been displayed. In front of Populist headquarters on Broad street tho crowd has been crush ing, while the Democratic newspnpsr offices have uveu ovetiuu. There has not been so much excite ment lu politics since the llrst election of President Cleveland. Leaders of both parties have been crowding Irto the city from outside points all day in their anxiety to get the first official reports and to discuss the fato of the day. Watson arrived from Thompson this morning, and he and Hines have kept up the excitement among their follow ers, who thronged tho Dally Press office, where they made headquarters, by bold claims and charges of fraud against the Democrats, llolli claim that they have carried the state for Hines by 8.000 majority. They base their claims on telegrams from county clia.rmeu of the Fopullst party in about fifty counties. These counties, tbey assort, give limes 1,000 plurality, but they admit that with tho addition of a half dozen other counties in which the large cites nro located, the majority Is turned to six or seven thousand for Atkinson. While Watson and Hines have got a good deal of cheap glory today, they do not sincerely believe .a tb >ir claims, but have already Begun to < ry fraud for the purpose of letting themselves down easy, and to precipitate trouble when the voto is counted lu the legis ts tore. Thov Im am oper tlio line by giving noth lu l'ultou county will I They claim tb it ballots km- m's name Iri.l !»;• Were f". iiim however. In Fulton county the l’"p ulist- were represented at every jwll- lag place, and if ever tSW was a nss ballot and fair count R was lore yts- terday. Atkinson's majority ovi r Hines in Fulton is 1.700. while the plu rality of the Democratic ticket OVi r 111" T'.,puli-t !l"l."t is All. I haiitig run SOD behind tils ticket lo re. Watson today publish.-- tb • follow ing in the Tress, the l’opullst dally: “ReUAMe election returns nro slowly " miing in mt . i.'.iiii- "t the Democrats last night are totally unfounded. Tbe Democrats have suf fered a Waterioo, and tho estimate made by Acting Chairman Cunningham are proven to bo accurate. Fearful frauds have been practiced by the Democrats in many counties, but in spite of all Hits the Populists made tremendous gains or the election of 1S92. "Theso gains arc not made lu nny particular section of Iho state, but they are made In almost every county. “Constituencies which lu ’irJ re turned Dcimicrntlc representatives by l arge majorities, nave swung into tlio Populist column by heavy majorities. In many counties the Democrat* have suffered a 1-s of 1,000 and over. At kinson's own county was barely saved to blm. “The result in many counties Is so close that It will tako the official vote io deifiuiuac it. Enough ts known, however, to assure tlie Populists of a heavy representation In the legislature. If not an actual majority." There is little doubt that the Popa- Utte Intend to make wholesale Chiracs of fraud when the vote la canvaased In the legislature. They are highly elated oyer the aucceaas conceded to them by the Demoa/ats—In fact, they are genu inely surprised, and hope by making a* much confusion sa possible to hold to gether for another flibt two years ^Watson Is particularly jubilant over his outldbk tor congress In the Tenth strict . Returns that have been received to day do not change the estimate of the Democratic managers of last night. Only about half the counties have been heard from officially, that le. the exact vote cast. Boon this bials, it Is estima ted that Mr. Atklnson'a majority will be 20 000 over Judge Hines, while the Democratic state ticket will get a ma jority of 25.000. . . Mr. Atkinson doe* not run as far be hind his ticket as was anticipated, on account of the men left by the nomina ting primary. .. .. Two years ago, when Gov. Northen received a 70.000 majority over Peek, his Populist competitor, tbe total Dem- ecr** 1 " plurality over the vote cast by the Populkita and Republicans for their presidential candidates waa about 39.- 100. This la the onlv basis upm which to estimate the reduction of the Demo cratic majority in yester-lay's electln. Ymterday the Fopulwt amt Republican vote. Instead of being divided between their sepimte candidates, was concen trated eOlldij- against Democratic nom inees. So that the real reduction of the Democratic nwjority Is only from 39,0o0 which Northen received over Harlson and Weaver to 25.000 which the Demo cratic ticket will receive over the .Pop- ullet ticket—about 14.000. Coraildering that many Democrats were sulky on account of the nomina tion of Mr. Atkinson by the defeat of their favorite, the knldr.g that 1h re ported to have been done In every sec tion for the sake of l —il candidate*, as K c|| * thi* has b- — 1 ma t ^.^to’^.tn^&hem-tiin eral opinion exores^d by th ? lead< r.i today k -that yestenlay’s election waa a victory for the party In every nems • of the term, ThU is the vleiv taken by XTaalrmaai Clay. The unexpected result of the election \\a.s the K.ilna made by the Pop* in the legislature, it is estimated that the third party nnd Republican** will ha/e about flfty members of the houee and senate, although the Pop committee to day claimed eighty. But' with the num ber eonoeded by the Democrat#, tho whblo aituatlcun os to the election of United State* senator and other ottl- cera Is greatly changed. The Democrats will caucus on their choice in all proba bility, for all officer*, eo that the suc cessful candidate will represent pure Democracy, but the election of the Pop ulists .to the legislature where Democ rats were exoected changes the strength of every avowed candidate. It h too early yet to aeo jual whom thim change affects most but the prophets wre agreed that the situation is vastly different today to what it was two days ago. An independent candidate who will receive the Populist vote and somo Democratic strength Is talked of al ready. but in no definite way. The defeat of Hon. Warner Hill In Meriwether county has been widely discussed today. Mr. H1U .was regarded as the probable speaker of th& next house, being the favorite in the tace. Hit defeat leaves Hon. W. H Fleming of Augusta the favorite Mr. Fleming arrived hers todav to look after his in terests Me expects to win the speaker- ship in a walk now. Hon. John T. Bol feulllet of Bibb. Hon. Mark Hodge of Pulaski and Hon. D. J. Bailey of Spal ding are yet In the race, however. Information Showing the fate of the three proposed amendments to the con stitution Is very meager. In most all of the reports received^ the ^vote^ on giver. It indicates that nil of the amend ments ore lost. The Populists gener ally voted against the amendment*. The law is. however, that ins f»te of the amendments depends on the wIM of thore who voted **for*' or "against” In express -term*, nnd the ofllclal returns may alter tlie present Indications Chairman Clay this afternoon gave the prepw the following interview on the rerult of the election: “The reduced Democratic majority,** •aid he. "Is due to four causes. In my opinion. The first of there was that fully 90 per cent, of the oolorcd vote was against us. The second was that we h ui an unusually ho; primary, In which much bad blood engendered. The third wait the overconfidence .and apathy among Democrats, which caused msny to stay away from the polls. The fourth wm that the low price of cotton wn» attributed to the Democratic pprty, which had nothing in tho world to do with It. "In the Fourth district, I am in formed that the entire colored voto went for the Ponulkts “I think the effect of the election will bo good. The Democrats will real ize the .situation and will become more aotlve and aggressive I have no fours of the Populists getting control of tho itets. The executive commltt-.-e nnd tho campaign comml*.tee will etlll keep at work. carrev ;onding with the congr Ifict*.

The count in all the wards , which was ontinu 'l throughout the night, was concluded by noon In all the wards but the fifth and the first These two hung back, however, and by their delay Se ated a great deal of excitement on tho streets. All worts of rumors of fraud wer> in cir> illation. The vote was not as heavy In !h*t*e two wards as in aoms others, and the close conteete In »*<-veral Instances, the r*\«ult depending on the first anl fifth wank*, made the unac countable d day a »-«'n«*aUoti. Friends* of all tbe candidate* were ready to cry fraud, and it is Ukelv that there will be trouble over the result In the sixth w.urd—the Peachtr:e street district— where there was tho hottest sort of light between H. T. In man and O. V. Oresw. Inman won by a snklll majority. Inman was on - ct tho only two m n on the dtlaem*' ticket put out by ♦*»* chamber of commerce who wont through. J. H.

Porter King, for mayor, had no oppo sition. but will have to defeat John II. Seal*, an Independent, In the regular •lection. A special meeting of fhe city execu tive committee wus called tonight on oocoont of the delayed count In the Second and Fiftti wards. Apparently, there was no k - *d cause for ihi.s l-- lay and the many charges of fraud appear'd :> have color.
