Judge (ico. Vf. Gleaton’ft race for
Jud;:« of tiie Superior ( oiirt of the
Eloiio Mountain Circuit was a re¬
markably good one when \v« take
Into consideration ihe fact that he
was opposing one of the best Superi¬
or court Judges in Georgia as well ns
oneoftho most widely known men
In this section.
judge Gleaton enterred Hie race n
comparative stranger to the people
of the circuit, with but, little time to
canvass before the date of the prima
ry. He made the licet possible use
o' this time ns is clearly shown by
the handsome vote lie received in
all the counties of the circuit. In
Clayton county Candlor secured on¬
ly 70 more vote* than Gleaton. In
Campbell his advantago was too,
while in Newton it was only *V>. In
the entire circuit-his vote exceeded
Judge G lea ton’s by a little more
than seven hundred. We think
Judg» (7 loti ton has cause to cougrat
mate iti self upon iii« race.
Judge Gaudier deserve* credit for
two or three days work lie did be¬
hind Rockdale’s candidate, Two
days In GJavton county saved him
there and on Monday last lie made n
living visit to Govlngtoti which ena¬
bled him to carry that county by f>5
votes when it would have gone Glea
ton’g way by several hundred *o'es.
All this demonstrates the political
ability of Judge Candler and at the
same time does credit to Judge
Glcatom who feel* very grateful to
the people of the circuit for the lib¬
eral support tendered him.
Kimsey s Rnco.
Gr.pt. AV. Kimsey made a Hue
race for Solicitor. Confined at his
home by sickness, lie was unable
to visit a single county in the circuit
i« the Interest of bin race, and the
vote ho received in all the counties,
with good men opposing him for the
honor in all of them save IlocKdale,
attests the esteem in which he is
held by the people of the circuit.
Under all the circumstances we
must insist that .Solicitor Kim soy's
race is an honor to him that he can
well afford to wear next Irs heart,
we believe him to he a man who will
wear it with true gratefulness.
We concTatuhile Cnpt. Kimsey.

Meeting of Executive
Committee.
The Democratic Executive
Committee met lss-t Wednes¬
day morning and consolidated
the vote of the county and nani
er j delegates. Judge A C Mc
Calla and Mr J M A1 maud were
named delegates to the State
Convention, R H Cannon and
B 11 Summers were appointed
delegatee to the Senatorial coii
veation. The delegates named
for the two conventions will be
allowed to appoint their own
alternates.
Commencing on the recent
primary the Macon Telegraph
says, ‘•Tuesday's election was
remarkable in many respects.
It was the first time since the
advent of Populism that the
white p e o p 1 e of the
state have acted to-gf tf ‘ r b >_
litically with practical
mitv, and the returns indicate
clearly that there is now but
ono white man’s party in Geor
gia . Another noteworthy fea¬
ture of the primary was the ab¬
sence of disorder of any kind
and of the other
features which have sometimes
marked elections in Georgia.
So far as the dispatches show,
it was a fair, clean fight
throughhuti the state.”
TIIE EI^ECTION.
Tho primary election last Tues¬
day passed oil quietly. All of the
old county officers wore re-nom¬
inated, though some of them pull¬
ed over by only very small major¬
ities.
The closest races were those of
the SheriiT, Ordinary and Tax llo-
The votes polled reached nearly
the number of (lie registration in
the county which shows that con¬
siderable interest was manifested
in the election.
We publish on tho first page of
this paper the vote of the local
candidates by districts, which will
give our readers the information
they desire
The defeated candidates are all
good men and so far ns we Know
not one of them has grumbled at
his defeat. The time may yet
come when they will know how a
victorious man feels after and elec
tion.
The men nominated have made
good officers and the people have
seen lit. to reward them with re
nomination. They will be elected
and serve again with that faithful •
ness they have shown in the past.
We congratulate them.
