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.

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. • -* **- • Jeffries is still the pugilist of the world but we iievethatGorbettcau whip .
