VICTORY! VICTORY!!
Imagine these woids to be forty
head of shaughi, game cock and
bantam roosters perched on the
bridge of our editorial desk, flap
ping their wings, strutting back
.
and forth and crowing like blood¬
ed stock from a royal court yard
and you will have some idea oi
what we wish to say.
The populists had put out a
“strong” ticket; they had bought
all the whiskey they could; had
■ opened up headquarters in several
places in town; the candidate for
representative was claiming all
the negro vote; Uncle Edmund
would certainly carry all his kith
and kin; Franklin had not only
Bulloch county in his grasp but
had even gone into Screven
make conquest of that territory:
wagons and teams had been hired;
barbecue grounds cleared up and
a very knowing attorney had pub¬
lished to the world in the big
dailies that it was nip and tuck
with the representative candidate,
claiming three hundred to his
credit and the balance iii favor
tuck; old men and young men
had set up all night guarding
colored voters collected at
various places of rendezvous, and
dawn had come on the day of elec¬
tion with some timid democrats
believing that we might lose ai
least two Dffices—the tax collector
and representative. That waB the
way the day opened up, but oh
what a difference in the evening!
The populists brought their men
iu wagons, marched them to the
polls by squads and companies
and their candidates formed a
line of breastworks to keep them
from getting away or any one get¬
ting to them. But their strength
was soon spent and the tide was
turned. For every populist there
were a half dozen democrats right
there too, and though the Sink
Hole, Laston and other populist
districts had emptied themselves
at the court house hoping to cut
down the big democratic majority
nothing was gained by it. The
democrats caught on to the racket
aud came here also, and conse¬
quently the largest vote ever poll¬
ed here was run up by 6 o’clock.
The democrats had two hundred
straight ballots iu the bottom of
the box and continued to vote
steadily all day. They used up
all their tickets and gave us an
order for one thousand more.
This fact was soon known all over
the court ground aud had a won¬
derfully good effect.
With all the great reports that
had gone abroad that this county
would go populist, there is not a
victory in the state more magnifi
cent. Every democrat in the
f county seemed to think that he
must do something and all deserve
credit for excellent work. As a
result the email majority of less
than one hundred received by the
slowest candidate two years ago
was raised to over four hundred.
No democratic candidate on last
Wednesday received less tliau four
hundred and one climbed to over
seven hundred—the average being
about five hundred. With such a
victory after such a fight the dem¬
ocrats could not refrain from cel¬
ebrating, aud while we pen these
words a crowd is marching up and
down the streets keeping time to
a bass drum and singing “Donald¬
son is elected, just as I expected,
climbihg up tbe court house
stairs.” About night when the
returns began to come in, the
pops began to disappear and tbe
democrats to celebrate. The big
dram was brought out, round
after round of cannon crackers
was fired and the populist candi
dates impersonated by
lows who created a great deal of
fun for all parties.
On Thursday when the official
count was known more crackers
were fired and the bell in the clock
tower that can be heard a half n
score of miles rang for twenty
minutes.
Everybody feels like the war is
over again and has settled down
to work, and the last wail of pop¬
ulism has died away ou the brisk
October air.
“The hit dog always hollows.”
Last week we gave our opinion of
a mau who claimed to be a demo¬
crat and yet would vote a split
ticket. We have heard of two of
such men since the election and
they seem to be as hopelessly in
the minority as the man half
asleep who stood up in church
when the minister said “reverse
your positions and all who want
to go to hell stand up.” There
were more straight tickets cast iu
this election than was ever known
before. Six hundred straight
democrat ballots were found in
the box of the 1209th district.
Hogan received six votes in Chat¬
ham countX-wbat b wonder.
The state has gone democratic
by an overwhelming majority.
There will not be a single populist
oi republien senator and less than
a half dozen in the house of rep¬
resentatives’ Hogan’s total major¬
ities in the counties that he carri¬
ed barely exceed fifteen hundred.
If we had been elected to the leg¬
islature on the populist ticket we
really believe we would resign. It
will be so lonely up there for the
few that will go.
Screven county that has been
in the hands of the populists for
for some time has gone
by a majority of one hundred and
fifty. If we had time we would
go over and help them celebrate.
We give.the pictures this week
of the next governor of Georgia,
and some of the promeuent county
officers who were towards the front
of the ticket. We tried Aery hard
to secure a cut of our representa¬
tive elect but failed in our efforts
owing to the proimity of the elec¬
tion to publication day.
It will be impossible for us to
tell all the good things about the
election this week. We shall have
totcomeatit again week.
It si only on extraordinary oc¬
casions that the Times appears
late, but it was impossible to late get
the official returns until
Thursday afternoon, and we
thought it would be better to be
one day late anb have the retusns
than to come out on time.
Missionary Tea at Mrs. W. C,
Parker’s next Friday afternoon.
The Atlanta Journal will not
get out a weekly any more, It
will come semi-weekly instead and
contain more attractive reading.
Sam Jones’ letters and sermons
will continue as before and there
will be frequent contributions
from Hon. John Temple Graves.
The price will be $1.00 instead
of 50cts with the Times you can
get it for 75cts.
Uncle Edmund Kennedy had
one thousand tickets printed
“Democratic Ticket” with all the
offices blank except his own. His
son Dan, it is said, brought 80 ne¬
groes to the polls, and got his
tickets mixed. Seeing “Demo¬
cratic Ticket” at the top, in his
haste he thought they were his
father’s tickets, but learned after¬
wards that he voted the whole
business with the straight demo¬
cratic ticket.
The fifth of October has come
and gone and old Bulloch remains
the grand old county she has ever
been. The viper that had crawled
over into her borders has received
his death wound apd as Bob Ber¬
ner said “Its tail does not eveu wig¬
gle in the county.” It had ceas¬
ed to move before the »un went
down Wednesday afternoon. Ever
since Admiral Schley sank Cer
vera’s fleet we have felt so proud
of our country tb&t we could not
sufficiently compose our exhilera
ting thoughts on that event to
write what we wished to concern¬
ing that magnificent victory. Our
feelings of publications have been
the same since Wednesday and
we most chronicle the events
that day in some fashion,
equally incapacitated to do
subject justice. Nor that we glory

They have always said that they

happens that they are bad coun¬
ters themselves. They have had
for the first time managers and
clerks at all the precincts and
have received their worst defeat
and the weakness of their charge
has been exposed. The populist
parey, as we said last week, is
gone. It will never reappear, and
referring again to what we have
said, some of their leaders have
avowed their intention already of
going into the republican party.
But not many of them will doit
When the smoke of the affray has
cleared away and the scent of can¬

back to their fathers’ house and
reunite the family again. How
nice it will be when brothers and
fathers and friends can sit down
on the door steps and tell the
same old tales and laugh at the
same jokes and experience the
feelings once more that makes all
world kin. Some of the ranlc fel¬

by the republican serpent coils, may the be

good sensible citizens of the coun¬
try will realize that the democrat
party is the party of the people
and will fall back into line They
will receive a hearty welcome and

remained true to the cause will
treat them tairly and find a place
for them and resume work where
they left off six years ago.

John Jones: “When I went home
Wednesday evening one of my
mules was standing at the lot gate
tallying democratic votes with
first one fore foot and then the
other.”
Steve Blackburn: “Paul McEl
veeu wore out two patters dancing
last night and then didn’t draw a
long breath, Allen Lee kept time
alright but his movement was
rather slow,”
Dock Mikell: “Jjhn Donaldson
and Sam Groover ran iaster in the
third party itself than any man
on thoir ticket.”
R. Simmons: “Mr. Shaw I want
to get you to help me buiy the

A Rosolio late Wednesday after¬
noon : “Look here, old man Ed¬
mund’s face is long like h—1.”
You’ll please ask Harmon Davis
what be said about the third party.
R. Simmons about noon Oct. 5:
“Men we are alright, old man Ed¬
mund will surely be elected by at
least 400 majority.”
S. J. Williams a few days before
the election to a confidential pop:
“I will beat John Donaldson some
where between 250 and 300 votes.”
The pop; “I wbb in hopes it
would be more than that.” Wil¬
liams : “No, 300 is about all I can
make."
Jas. J. Williams to a colored
man : “Well you dont know me do
you?” “No sir I do not” replied
the voter: “I am the man they are
going to send to the legislature
Williams.”
A colored pop voter in the sur¬
geons office having a finger ampu¬
tated and more sick than hurt:
“Boss, boss dat was sho mean
liquor, dat pop liquor wus.”
Mack Scarboro to coronor Stan¬
ford: “Quitman if I Bhould hap¬
pen to die do give an honest ver¬
dict at my inqmst. Dent say I
committed suicide unless you can
prove it.” Stanford: “You are dead
already, and you killed yonrself
by voting a populiBt ticket." Jasper
Fraufelin: “Make up your mind
on next Wednesday and vote the
dictates of your conscience” and
they did.
S. J. Williams came out of the
race Thursday morning.
Joe Oliff was out of town Thurs¬
day. They say he went to see bis
uncle.
Boatwright: “Any man that
would vote a democratic ticke
would put bis wife and children
m jail.” we need a jail then as big
as the country.
D. R. Groover, Friday morning:
“This is V gooff time to have a
low too loud or make too much
noise.” But the “boys” will be
boys in spite of Mr. Simmons.
A leading pop: “I stood our
defeat very well until the bell be¬
gan to toll; then I broke down,
it seemed much like a funeral. ’

A democrat: ‘‘I have one regret
that our victory was so sweeping
—we won’t have &ay more fun.”
