ELECTION DAT IN WQKTH, ECHOES FROM All the world joins England In the g rief and gloom cast, upon that nation y the death of its poet laureate, Al fred Tennyson. Born of humble pa rentage, in Lincolnshire, in 1809, Ida life has been an example of the heights to which, through prbfound study, careful thought, earnestness, energy and perseverance, the simple man may attain.

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 nition of tlicir able literary works. Maoaulay’s was a life peerage, but Tennyson’s was made hereditary, whioh Is, probably, the reason that he accepted It. IRWIN CHARGES) FRAUD. i He Hits at iDCSSm«.r.-: Charge.

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 a year the world has mourned the deaths of Whitman, Curtis, Whittier and Ernest Renan, the profound French philosopher, and now Eng land’s brightest light has added an other to the inevitable procession of mortality. 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, and deotare In no unmeaning terms that the nation everywhere must rebel against a Republican government of oorruptlon and oppressive taxation. And the echo from November an swers, “We’ll turn the rascals out.” But the soul of the songster still lives amongst his people. His life is Ills poems. Through them he spenks to the world to-day with the same depth of thought, with the same power toevoke all the sympathetic, sentiment al and religious emotions as was his during life. The monuments he has ereoted—not to himself alone, hut to England and to suffering humanity— will Survive the storms of generations and delight the intellects of nations yet unborn. No man can study the poet’s life, character and songs with out the conviction that there is some thing in life to live for, and n determi nation to seek the better oourse. There must be somo strong power over the affections and emotions of his ffllnw- man in him, who, though raisedito the peerage and his lineage made ‘noble, wrote those simple touobing lines which appeal especially to the Ameri can heart, and which might easily evoke a world of thought; Kind heart- aro moro than coronet*, And simple faith than Norman blood.

The vote of Columbia and Lincoln counties in the Tenth district will be contested by the Democrats on account of the fraudulent Third Party vote polled in them. The Dally Citizen is proseouting a vigorous boycott among the labor or ganizations in Atlauta against the patrons ol the Constitution. Takixo last Wednesday’s election relumes asa basis, the Democrats have a cleur majority of something like 7*1UUP iu the Second Congressional dis trict. This majority will doubtless be reduced somewhat in the November election, still it gives the Democrats a safe margin if they will only do their duty.

Accokdino to the Treasury report, 18,040,719 pounds of tin mid feme plate had been made iu this country upittt June 80,1892: Tinplate sells iu England at i'} A ceuts per pound. Es 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 ”nlTInlav “protqp- the thing called McKinley tlon.” It is quite probable that there will be a Third Party and Republican fu sion ticket put oqt in Georgia. Col. Buck lias refused to give the names of the Republican Electors ot Gen. Cook before Oetober 10th, and Irwin, Chair man of the People’s Party, refuses to send in the names of the People’s Party Electors, saying they are not ready yet. This means that there are signs of a trade In the air, and Repub lican aud People’s Party Electors will probably be the same men. That oourse will eternally ruin Third Party prospects in Georgia. fThere is many an honest farmer in the State, whose sympathies were with that party until a coalition with the Republicans was proposed.

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. COLQUITT ALL RIGHT. Wheel* IBM Lne With Democratic majority. a Good Now for November.
