EVANS’ DEFEAT IS ASSURED.
__
“THE BEGINNING OF THE END” OF
TILLMAN’S REIGN.
Earle’s Majority Will Be in the Neigh¬
borhood Of 3,000.-Tillman Hit
As Well As Evans.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 9.—At 2 o’clock
this morning sufficient returns are in to
show that Gov. Evans has been beaten
by Gen. Earle for the Senate.
Allowing Evans two-thirds of the unre¬
ported vote, and placing it at over 80,
000, he cannot reduce Earle's majority
below 3,000 at the lowest estimate.
At 2 o’clock this morning a vote of 56,-
387 is accounted for. The total vote in
the first primary wa» 78,231. Of the
vote already reported Evans has 22,317,
against Earle’s 34.070, Earle’s majority
being 11,753. The vote reported is pret¬
ty full.
The people of the stase took the keenest
interest in the election, and the result is
no surprise in consequence of the develop¬
ments of the last few days. Gov. Evans
#
unquestionably injured his chances by his
revelations in the-dispensary scandal, and
now it may be confidently expected that
more interesting revelations than ever
will come forth. This much has been in
dicated by those in possession of many
facts of a faj^inore interesting character
than those Already made.
Senator Tillman interfered in the race
after declaring he was hands off, and the
people seemed to resent his interference.
It is thought that the people resented his
attempt to dictate to them which way
they should vote.
The result shows the very essential fact
that Tillman has been hit as well as Ev¬
ans. He urged the people to support Ev¬
ans, saying that the success of the reform
movement depended upon Evans’ elec¬
tion. Gov. Evans has not been seen this
evening, but it is understood that he is a
very much disappointed the man. first primary it

Closing Vp Blind Tigers.
WaycrosR, Ga., Sept, 8.—A young white
man, named McCullis, arrived in Way
cross about two weeks ago seeking em¬
ployment. He wanted to do detective
work for the United States internal reve¬
nue department, he said, but did not
seem to know how to get employment. A
few days ago McCullis began working for
the police force as informer on bliud ti¬
gers. He made quite a record in detect¬
ing violations of the liquor ordinance of
thiscitv. The liquor license in this city
is $30,000 a year, and violators of the
law are generally detected, gaud if con¬
victed, fined. The mayor’s court to-day
was in session before and after noon, for
the purpose of trying the various liquor
eases. Mayor Knight imposed the fol¬
lowing fines on violators of the liquor or¬
dinance: C. D. Smith. $50; M. C. Smith,
$50; T. M. Sweat, $75. The cases against.
' C. I). Smith and M. C. Smith were appeal¬
ed to the city council.

Taylor Miller’s place, succeeded in killing
himself yesterday. About three weeks

doctor left her a very poisonous medicine
to take, five drops at a dose, and Tom
NVatson got hold of the bottle and drank
the whole of its contents at once. It was
thought he would die from this, but the
poison was counteracted and his life
spared. Last Friday he got hold of a
bottle containing dissolved ball potash
and drank a fill of that and all qfforts to
save him proved futile and he died from
the effects of it yesterday. It is said tha t

BULLOCH TIMES.
Statesboro, Bulloch County. Georgia, Thursday, Sept. 10,1806.
IT IS PALMER AND BUCKNER.
WERE NOMINATED BY THE GOLD
DEMOCRATS.
Brilliant Speeches Were Delivered
W’lien the Nomination Of Can¬
didates Was In Order.
Indianapolis, Sept. 3.—The second and
final day’s session of the national Demo
,-ratio party ryaa conducted with theca,ne
business celenty that marked the opening
proceedings. It closed up all its business,
platform, nominations and everything
else in a continuous session of less than
five hours. Then it adjourned sine die,
without once indulging in any extrava
gant , hyppodrome , proceedings, or at , any
time permitting its order of business to
be interfered with by the galleries.
The nominees were: Senator John M.
Caulev Palmer of Illinois for president,
- ex-Governor BolivarBacknerof
tucky for vice-president.
Both candidates were bo™ in
tucky. One wore the blue and the other
the gray, so Louisville, the capital of the
“dark and bloody ground,” was appro
priately designated as the place of noti
fication for both candidates, September
12 being the dat° assigned.
The convention was rich in oratory
thought, but the speech of Col. W. C. P.
Breckinridge, of Kentucky, easily took
rank as one of the most effective of cam¬
paign utterances heard in recent years.
Before adjourning the convention took
the precaution of clothing its executive ta,ke
committee with full power to
proper steps to secure recognition tor the
ticket in states where the Australian bal
lot law or other legislation might inter- the
pose obstacles to the recognition of
two democratic tickets, each claiming to
be regular. This difficulty is anticipated
in Ohio and some other states in the ac
cepted battle ground of the middle west.

WON BY AN INCREASED VOTE
ARKANSAS DEMOCRATS DO WHAT
GEORGIANS WILL DO.
First Estimates Of 45,000 Plurality
Changed To Estimates Of 60,
000 By Late Returns.
Little Rock, Aik., Sept. 7.—Theeleetion
held in this state to-day was for all state,
judicial and county offices, including two
thirds of the legislature, which will elect
a successor to Senator Jones, chairman
of the national democratic committee. He
has no opposition within his party, and
bis election is an assured fact.
As far as heard from theeleetion passed
off quietly, and an unusually large vote
was polled.
The question of licensiug saloons was
the principal issue in the majority of
counties. Here in Little Rock it was the
issue of the day. The prohibitonists, or
anti-license advocates, were defeated by
a large majority. Democrats and repub¬
licans had full tickets in thefield, while the
populists and prohibitionists nominated
candidates for governor only.
Returns received in this city up to 9
o’clock, indicate that the vote will exceed
100,000, an increase of 24,000 over 1894.
At democratic headquarters the elec
tion of Col. Dan W. Jones, the democrat¬
ic candidate for governor, is claimed by
45,000 plurality. Chairman Cooper, of
the republican committee, disputes the
claim, basing his estimate upon reports
received late this evening. Begays a large
percentage of the increased vote was poll¬
ed by the negroes. Of the 203,000 poll
tax receipts iu this state, 45.000 are held
by negroes, 15,000 more than was paid
by the negroes two years ago.
Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 7.—Official re¬
turns received late to-night give the entire
democratic ticket 60,000 majority.
The republicans bad no ticket in the
field, the opposition being an independent
ticket composed of men, a majority of
whom are but little known. The populists
scratched Files, their candidate for gov¬
ernor, and voted almost solidly for Jones,
as did many of the sound money demo¬
crats who voted at all. The prohibition
vote th roughout the state shows a marked
decrease.

Prohibitionists In Florida.
Tallahassee, Fla,,Sept. 7— Last of all
came the prohibition ticket of Florida.
It was received at the office of the secre¬
tary of state on Sunday.' It contained
the candidates for president, Vice-Presi¬
dent, electors, a congressman for each
district, and Arthur C. Jackson for gov
ernor. It is not sworn to, as the latf pre¬
scribes, and therefore the secretary of
state cannot file it, nor can the name of
Mr. Jackson be placed on the state ticket.
The law provides that nominees for state
and national offices must be certified, un¬
der oath, to the secretary of state “not
less than thirty days before the day of
election.” It is now too late to correct
the certification as to Mr. Jackson, but
there is ample time in which to property
certify the candidates for presidential
electors and congress.

WERE NOT AFRAID OF RAIN.'
BllYAN ADDRESSES A BIG CROWD
IN THE RAIN.
The Wisconsin People Would See
Whether the Candidate’s Argu*
meats would Wash or Net.
Milwaukee, Wis.,Sept. 5.—Threespeech
es were made by William J. Bryan before
Milwaukee audiences to-day. In the first
the democratic candidate scored those
who took part in the gold convention at
Indianapolis, accusing them of dishonest
intention in nominating a third ticket.
One of the other addresses was the most
sensational Mr. Bryan has delivered dur¬
ing the* campaign. It was devoted al¬
most entirely to the government bond
issues and teemed with implication of the
administration and the members of the
bond syndicate. He did not mention any
names but it was evident who he meant
in his denunciatory statement.
A heavy rain spoiled the afternoon
speech for half of those who attended the
Bryan meeting at National park. About
5,000 people composed the audience and
large segments of them broke and ran
when the rain became a down pour. The
other three thousand or so held their
ground, and very uncomfortable ground
at that, and would not let the candidate
cut his remarks short, as he said he
wanted to do, despite the fact that near¬
ly everybody was drenched to the skin.
Both of to-night’s meetings were held
in Schlintz park. The first address of Mr. •
Bryan there was delivered in a small the¬
ater, in which two thousand peoplefound
seats and another thousand crowded the
aisles and the space around the door.
Outside in the chill, damp night air were
gathered more than 5,000 people, who
were unube to gain admittance, and
these Mr. Bryan addressed after his in¬
door speech was concluded. Both audi¬
ences were liberal in applause, and the ut¬
terances tions, which concerning bordered the bond negotia¬
ou the sensational,
were received with great cheering.
During part of Mr. Bryan’s remarks in
the theater there was much confusion and
shouting by those outside the dooi 1 , and
the speaker was compelled to pause sev
eral times, For the first half hour of his
speech considerable hissing was heard,
but it was not apparent whether this
mark of disapproval was intended for Air.

iVill Petition The Ordinaries.
Atlanta, Ga., -Sept. 8.—In lieu »f further
correspondence with Chairman Clay on
the subject of division of election mau
agers, that mode of campaign agitation
having been cut off by Chairman Clay’s
curt refusal to receive any more letters
from him. Chairman Cunningham, of the
Populist State eornmitte, has seut out a
circular to his party leaders iu each coun¬
ty urging them to circulate petitions in
each militia district calling upon the or¬
dinaries or county commissioners to give
the Populists representation at the polls
on election day. According to the plans
these petitions are to be presented in ev¬
ery county on the same day, 8ept. 22,
and the populist committee is to publish
another manifesto setting forth the re¬
sults of the scheme. It is the same plan
adopted in North Carolina, which Sena¬
tor Marion Butler claims gained the Pops
10,000 votes and won the fight for them.
This effort to show that the democrats
are opposed to a division of managem
will not have any effect, however, becaue*
Chairman Clay, of the State Democratic
Committee, has already writteu to rb®
county committeemen recommending tail
division.
