Tennyson’s remarkable poetical tal
ent was developed early In his boy
hood days, and his early poems, writ
ten when but a boy of 81, showed that
beauty and artistic touoh which gave
promise of a future development that
would make hta poetic gems the cyno
sure of every eye—attracting the at
tention and oareful thought of the
deepest tlilnkerB, and exciting the ad
miration of the most (esthetic.
In 1850 he was appointed poet, lau
reate to succeed William Wordsworth,
who died In April of that year. At
that time he published his “In Mem
orials" second only to “The Idylls" ns
a perfeot artistic production. 'It was
written as an elegy for Arthur Henry
llallain, and has well been called “the
most exquisite structure ever reared
above a human grave.”
In 1805 he was offered a baronetcy
by the Queen, as a token for some
beautiful songs he had written. This
he declined. But, iu 1884, he was
raised to the peerage with the title of
Baron of Aldwnrth and Fnrringford.
he and Lord Maoaulay being the only
men ever greeted with titles In recog

Maoaulay’s was a life peerage, but
Tennyson’s was made hereditary,
whioh Is, probably, the reason that he
accepted It.

NO VIISION TICKET.
There is to be no fusion ticket In
Georgia.
This was decided by the Republicans
in a caucus in Atlanta on Saturday.
The three parties will fight their
battles on the lines and principles tbey
have marked out.
The Republicans were made aware
by last Wednesday’s election that they
could do no damage to Demoeraoy in
Georgia, and after deliberation have
concluded to' stand by their outers.
The Third Party says that the Re
publican support did them harm and
lost them votes, consequently they
don’t want any fusion tloket. So
there the matter stands.
The Third Partyltes and the Repub
licans will pursue the even tenor of
heir respective ways, while Domoo-
any will work ahead and duplloate its
majority of last Wednesday, leaving
everythtngelse out In the cold.
Hts death adds another to the list of
powerful literary lights and men of
deep thought who are rapidly passing
away, whose places the world looks to
the rising generation to fill. Within

deaths of Whitman, Curtis, Whittier
and Ernest Renan, the profound

GBORGIA>a VICTORY.
Georgia’s grand Demooratlo vletory
has carried joy to the hearts of mil
lions of staunch Democrats through
out the Northern States, who, as
they received the news, sent baok
flashing across the wires glad messages
of congratulation and rejotolng.
The news settled the doubt in the
minds of every skeptic, and has had
the tendenoy to bring out the united
energies of the party leaders In . the
North, who promise us that every ef
fort will be put forward to make
Georgia’s vlotory symbolic of the na
tion’s voice.
Patriots from the North, patriots
from the East, and patriots from the
West, Join with patriots from the
South In one universal and prolonged
Demooratlo shout, called forth by that
mighty blast from Georgia’s trumpet,

that the nation everywhere must rebel
against a Republican government of
oorruptlon and oppressive taxation.

will Survive the storms of generations
and delight the intellects of nations

poet’s life, character and songs with

must be somo strong power over the

timating the value of the domestic
product at the English price, the Bos
ton Herald finds that the whole pro
duction up to June 30, 1893, was worth
$876,284. During the same time the
tax paid on imported tinplate was
$0,000,000. The Herald rightfully de
nounces as a fraud upon the American
consumers that they should be made to
pay sixteen times the value of their
product in order to enable favored
persons to turn out $376,284 worth of
tinplate! But this is a specimen of

Special Correspondence ot the Hxralpi
’ Isabella, Oet. 7th, 1892.
The most memorable election ever
held within the limits of Worth coun
ty was held here Wednesday.
At an early hour the polls were
open, and for a while things looked
very gloomy for the Democrats. No
election was held at Aeree, and the en
tire Negro population of the third dis
trict was dumped In on the county
seat. They came marching up, a black
army one hundred strong, and, al
though repeatedly charged by the
Demuoratic skirmishers, who Imd al
ways before controlled their votes,
tbey stood steadfast to tbeir teaching,
and marohed up like sheep to the
slaughter aud voted the Third Party
ticket, a heeler of that belief standing
by to hand them their ballots as they
put them in.
Before 9 o’clock it was conclusively
proven that P’okelt’s $500 campaign
fund had not been squandered. For
weeks before this Third Party prenoh-
ers bad been visiting these Negroes,
attending their nightly meetings and
organizing them, and yesterdny they
oame to the polls fully instructed, and
no work or argument the Democrats
oould use, could turn one of them. By
12 o’elook it looked as if the Democrats
would be overrun and trampled under
by a Negro stampede to the Third
Party.
For several nights before the elec
tion men had been around to the Ne
groes' houses in the middle of the
night and warned them that If they
voted the Democratic ticket they would
be summarily dealt with. This, tf.
gether with the thorough work the
Third Party had done among them for
that party several weeks ago,when they
laid aside all hope of carry Ing the coun
ty by means of the white vote,and threw
all their energies toward securing
at if til i Negroes, made the Negro
vote almost a solid one tor Pickett,
But, after the noon hour prospects
began to brighten. The Negro vote
waB exhausted, and the white votes
began to pile in. Never in the writer’s
reoollection bps so much enthusiasm
been manifested In- an election. Men
who were too siok to walk were carried
to their buggies and driven to the polls
to oast their vote. Old and Infirm men,
who oould not stand, were carried to
the polls on the shoulders of their
friends and cast their votes fora white
man’s government. The excitement,
was so great that personal dllficnltles
were expected, but the day passed off
peaoeably, not a single fight occuring
at the nine preolnots in the uounty.
Both sides polled their entire
strength, not ten of either side staying
away from the polls.
The eleotlon was considered by both
sides to be a test of the party strength
in the oounty, and so it proved, both
sides having done their best. The us
ual vote of the oounty in local elec
tions is about 1,300, but Wednesday it
run up to 1,083, which shows that both
sides were Ih earnest. Of this vote
the disoiples of Pickett cast 680 and
the mossbaeks 988 on the oounty ticket,
but, for Governor, Northen fell a little
behind with 971, and Col. Peek’s slav
ery bill evidently pleased some of
them, as he ran ahead of his ticket, re
ceiving 062.
As the returns began to come in yes
terday from the various precincts, the
Third Fartyites, who had been doing
all the cheering early in the day, be
gan to take the dry grins, while the
Democrats shouted themselves hoarse,
and when, late in the night, it beentne
positive that the Democrats were
ahead, they held a regular love feast.
This morning, when they met to
consolidate, not a Third Party man
was to be seen who was not here with
returns from his district.
It was their first dull of crow, and it
went hard, blit they had to swallow It.
A great many of them had confidently
expected to use it as a stepping-stone
to olllce, and their disappointment is
doubly bitter.
They were given a fair showing; in
many of the precincts being given en
tire management, of the election, so
they have no room to cry fraud, al
though, of course, they will try to do
ii. The writer estimated their strength,
last March, at about 200 white votes,
and he sees no reason to change these
figures, as the three precincts that they
carried are largely colored, and the
Negro vote for their ticket in the
couuty was 400. H.
From Fi trtnv’s KvKN'Nd lIcnAi.n.
70,000 is a pretty big majority for
the Democrats in Georgia, but that’s
the size of it.
The people were awake to the emer
gency, and In many instances where
they would nnt have done so under
other circumstances.
A letter to-day from Berrien tells us
that Northen’s majority down there is
close on to 800 votes.
This Is the way things went all over
the State. Every oounty realized what
was to be done, and with but few ex
ceptions they gave their vote to Nor-
then. Most of those exceptions were
in the Tenth District where Tom Wat
son has been preaching his. sooial
Harry Brown, of the Southern Alli
ance Farmer, has decided that the
Third Forty is a fraud, and has rer
turned to the Demooratlo ranks.
That’s the way they’re all doing.
Thr
equality dootrines, but even then the
district as a whole gave Gov. Northen
a good round majority.
The counties in the . Tenth whioh
eleoted Third Party Representatives
and gave their vote to Peek, are Co
lumbia, Lincoln, Glascock, Washing
ton, Warren, Taliaferro, End McDuffie,
Wntson’s home couuty which gave
Peek a majority of but 800 votes.
Northen’s majority In Richmond over
came the combined opposition of these
other counties. His majority there
was about 8,500, while he nlso carried
Jefferson, Wilkinson and Hancock
comities. Tills nugttrs well for Blaok
in November. Watson has seen the
handwriting on the wall whioh means
his overwhelming defeat.
The Democratic majorities by dis
tricts range all the way from about 800
In the Tenth to 9,855 In the Third dis
trict, which is the home of Spenker
Crisp. The Second did her duty well
and the semj-officinl majority of 7,126,
accredited to her is, by no menus, a
small one, considering the difficulties
with which the Democrats have had
to contend. If the reports are accurate
thej Second will send sixteen |Detn
ocrntic representatives to the legisla
ture.
People will smile when they remem
ber Mint little back door caucus In the
Central Hotel where Dr. Hand was
victimized by being pitted against
lion. Ben E. Russell. - Each member
of that convention left Albany with
a look of onlin serenity, and a smile on
the countenance that seemed to say to
the Demoorats, “We’ve got you, boys,
and we’re goln’ towln.” In fnot, those
were the very words several of them
used in spenking of the situation to a
Herald reporter. But where are they
now! T n the maelstrom of Democratic
ballots whose every whirl carries them
deeper down into the darkness of
oblivion.
Thus it goes. November will pile
up a still larger Democratic majority
for Georgia than did October.
Many a shamefaced Third Partyite
will hasten to return to the Demoeraoy
through the back door, so that he may
not be subjected to the curious gaze of
his brother voters. They realize the
hopelessness of their cause and they
will come baok.
Well, they will be welcome. They
have given their principles a trial at
the tribunal of publlo opinion, where
they have been foqnd wanting. But
Democracy will, nevertheless, welcome
the prodigals back.
From Friday's Kvzrinu Ukrai.p.
Ill an' Interview with the Atlanta
Journal, yesterday, Chairman Irwin,
of the People’s Party oommittee, says
he dues not credit the published ma
jorities, and, in several of the counties,
the vote will be contested. In answer
to the question, “Do you consider ltja
fair vote!” Irwin said:
“Far from it. There was a great
deal of ballot-box stuffing.' Down In
Dougherty county it was shameful.
Out iu Bookdnle they offered $10 for
Negro votes.”
“What about the Negro vote!” was
asked.
“They were bought straighout,’^ re
plied Irwin. “You see, when Evan
Howell aud Livingston went to New
York tbey brought back a load of
money, and It was spent freely. That’s'
the reason we got nohelpfromtbeBe-'
publicans who would naturally have
voted against the Demoorats.”
This is the trend of Irwin’s talk all
the way through. His party was
beaten straightout and he hastens to
ory fraud. In his eager haste to fix
upon some point as an example he
ories, “Down in Dougherty it was
shameful.” We don’t know where
Chairman Irwin got his information,
but suppose it was forwarded to him
by M,aj. Brimberry, the Republican
boss of the Seoond district, seven!)
days before the eleotlon.
Mr. Irwin and Mr. Brimberry are
both very muoh off the track. As was
the case In nearly every other part of
the State, the Negroes voted here In
Dougherty oounty with the Demoorats
and there was no ocoasion for Bny’such
course as Chairman Irwin charges.
The truth of the matter is that the
Democrats oould have out-voted their
opponents with the Negro vote alone,4
as the Negroeswere more than oner]
halt with the Demoarats.
We have been conducting a oai
paign of eduoatlon here, and the
Negroi
legroes recognized who were their
friends and voted with them. Why,
we had several prominent Negroes
here who wore Northen badges air day,
ilr
and went around marshalling then
brothers in blaok to the polls. In this
way a large Negro vote was polled for
the st raight Deinooratio tloket. Ohalr-
mnn Irwin should know the facts in
the case before uttering suoh false and
libellous charges.
One preoinot in this county was
thrown out because the manager ap
pointed at the request of the Third
Party voters was not a freeholder,
hence the vote was not legal. At this
they cannot complain, because the
manager was appointed at their own
request.
