UNION & RECORDER.
i
Milledgeville, November 9, 1886
THE ELECTION.
The election on Tuesday last was as quiet
and free from excitement as it well could
be. The Democratic nominee, Col. Blount,
bad no opposition. A dozen votes cast for
him in the whole district would have elect
ed him and it was doubtless the knowledge
of this fact that caused many who are real
ly his warm friends to refain from taking
the trouble to walk a hundred or two yards
to the polls to vote for him. This sort of
thing however is hardly treating an old
and faithful public servant right, and the
fact that he is one of the most valuable
members of the U. S. Congress, called for
some more marked manifestation of the
estimation in which he is held by his own
constituents than the very meagre vote he
doubtloss received throughout his district.
Besides, it might possibly; we repeat
possibly, have lead to his defeat, as may
fce seen by the trick which was played
in the 7th district by Dr. Felton, or
his friends. Without the lea9t indica
tion of such a purpose he (Felton) was
voted for in several counties by such num
bers that by a little more energy and a
little more skill, the trick might have
caused Felton’s triumph over Clements the
regular nominee. This trick may be prac
tised at some time in the future with suc
cess. It is to be hoped that Democratic
voters all over the State will take warning
by the episode in the 7th district and be
willing at future elections to take some
little trouble to cast their votes for the
regular nominee.
The result in this county was 161 votes
cast for Blount at the town precinct, and
no election was held at any of the country
precincts.
TIi« State Legislature.
On Wednesday last, the members
elect of our legislature convened in
their respective chambers in the
State House, at Atlanta, and the Sen
ate and House of Representatives
were organized according to law.
The Iriah Cause.
The General Elections.
At a late hour it would take five
times as much space as we have at
our command to give even a synopti
cal statement of the result of the
elections which have occurred in near ■
lv all the States of the Union on the
2d instant. From all the reports,
thus far, there is still much uncertain
ty as to the results in some of the
States, more particularly as regards
the congressional elections. The re
publicans have unquestionably made
considerable gains, but enough is
known to- show that the Democrats
will still have a majority in the repre
sentative branch of the government.
The Democrats have sustained losses
in several States and unexpectedly
too. Mr. Morrison was defeated in
Indiana, and the great orator, too,
Frank Hurd. The republicans used
money freely wherever there was a
probability of success by using it.
The report that Speaker Carlisle
was debated, turns out to be untrue
and this is a source of great gratifica
tion to the Democrats in every sec
tion of the Union. Iowa is claimed
by both parties. Labor claims the
balance of power in Illinois and Wis
consin. There was no choice for gov
ernor in New Hampshire. Elliot beats
Small, the colored candidate in South
Carolina. The Labor Party shows
much strength in some sections.
Hewitt, democrat, beats George for
the Mayoralty of New York. The
latest accounts make it doubtful
whether the democrats or republicans
will be in the majority in the House.
It will require the count to decide
which party will be in the majority in
the legislature of Indiana In Wiscon
sin the congressional delegation stands,
republicans, six, democrats, five.
The democrats claim the election
of Ames for governor in Minnesota.
In New Hampshire the Democrats
gain a congressman which divides the
delegation equally.
Colorado elects a democratic gov
ernor and probably will have a demo
cratic legislature.
While it is very close, the probabil
ity is that the democrats will have a
small majority in the House.
The next reports will probably re
move all doubts and furnish the true
results of the elections.
SENATE.
At 10 o’clock &. m., the members of
the Senate met and were called to
order by Hon. Wm. A. Harris of
Worth, the Secretary of the Senate
of the last legislature. Then prayer
was offered by Rev. Dr. John Jones
and the Senators were sworn in by
Judge Joel Branham of the Rome
circuit. The Secretary then announc
ed that the next thing in order was
the election of a President, where
upon Hon. John S. Davidson of Au
gusta was nominated and elected
without opposition. Mr. Pringle of
the 20th and Mr. Tete Smith of the
10th District who had been spoken of
as probable candidates for the posi
tion, both seconded the nomination.
Mr. Davidson was a very prominent
and useful member of the preceding
Senate and his election seems, to have
given great satisfaction. Hon. Mr.
Pringle was then nominated and
elected by acclamation, President pro
tern of the Senate.
Mr. Tete Smith of the 10th district
nominated Wm. A. Harris, Secretary
of the Senate, and he was unanimous
ly elected. Mr. A. J. Cameron of
Telfair was then elected Messenger
and Mr. Seward Allred of Pickens,
Doorkeeper of the Senate and the or
ganization of that body was com
pleted.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House was called to order by
Hon. Mark Harden, Clerk of the last
House, and the members were sworn
in by Judge Hutchins of the Middle
Circuit. Hon. W. A. Little of Musco
gee, Speaker of the last House was
nominated for Speaker, the name
of Hon. Morgan Rawls, of Screven
county, who had been spoken of in
the newspapers as a candidate was
formally withdrawn and Mr. Little
was unanimously elected. The next
business being the election of a Clerk,
Hon. Mark Harden, Clerk of the last
House was nominated and the names
of Mr. Cooper Nisbet, of Dade, and
A. M. Dubose, of Hancock, were with
drawn and Mr. Harden was elected
by the full vote of the House.
Hon. A. S. Clay, of Cobb, was nom
inated a n d unanimously elected
Speaker protein.
Mr. R. J. Wilson, of Richmond
county was elected over several com
petitors, Doorkeeper of the House
and J. R. Smith, of Coffee, was unan
imously elected Messenger. Both of
these gentlemen occupied similar po
sitions in the last legislature.
Rev. Dr. John Jones was appoint
ed Chaplain of the Senate and a com
mittee of three members of the House,
was appointed to secure the services
of a Chaplain for that body. The
committee subsequently reported that
they had secured the services of Rev.
Walter R. Branham of Oxford, the
Chaplain of the last House.
The presiding officers of both
Houses made appropriate addresses
on being installed in their respective
offices.
The General Assembly met at 8:10
Thursday evening and resumed the
counting of Georgia’s vote. The
count was completed at 4:30 p. m.,
showing an aggregate vote of 110,298.
The total vote received by each can
didate was as follows:
N. C. Barnett, Secretary of State,
115,501.
Clifford Anderson, Attorney-Gener
al. 114,158.
W. A. Wright, Comptroller-General,
106,797.
Robt. U. Hardeman, State Treasu
rer, 105,187.
J. B. Gordon, Governor, 101,159.
Quite a number of scattering votes
were counted including 556 for J. W.
Lyons, colored, 164 for A. O. Bacon,
and 53 for Bill Arp.
Mr. John Morly speaking on the
resolution tore-ararm Mr. Gladstone’s
home rule policy, said that the party
were on the eve of a great battle. The
liberals remained staunch. Something
had been said about the conciliation
of dissentients. All he could say was
that it would be better, for the pres
ent, to leave them alone. The liber
als could stand by their old leader,
(cheers.) They felt now, more than
ever, that the views of the Irish elec
tors must be met, or the Irish ques
tion would never be settled. If the
union of the sections of the Liberals
could not be obtained without the
surrender of an enormous majority to
a small minority, the only resource
was to fight out the battle. The ma
jority, he said, did not wish to pro
scribe individuals or ex-communicate
sections, but it would be most con
temptible if the men who had launch
ed a protest in favor of Ireland, of
such magnitude and moment, were to
agree that all be forgotten. They
would pursue the old course. Still Mr.
Gladstone and the other members of
the late Government were ready to re
ceive the modified policy, if it were
supported by solid reasons. Despite
the recent defeats, the speaker said,
he believed Mr. Gladstone was on the
eve of a triumph and that the Liberal
policy was now rooted in the minds
and consciences of the liberals through
out the country. (Enthusiastic cheers.)
Pasteur’s Success.—Out of the
treatment, during this year, of 2,400
persons who had been bitten by mad
dogs, only ten had died.. One thou
sand seven hundred and twenty-six
of the patients were French.
A Leeds dispatch says the Liberal
Association had increased by 100
branches.
Rioting had occurred again at Bel
fast and many were badly hurt.
An Assurance of Incorruptible
Integrity.
The presence of Genl’s. G. T. Beau
regard of La., and Jubal A. Early of
Va., at the drawings of The Louisiana
State Lottery Company, in entire
charge, is regarded as a guarantee of
absolute fairness and integrity. Any
advertisement or offer to guarantee
any partiality would expose the
cloven hoof of the swindler. Remem
ber that the next (the 199th Grand
Monthly and the Extraordinary Quar
terly) Drawing takes place on Dec.
14th, when over half a million of dol
lars will go flying about the world,
trying to fall into some one's pocket.

The English papers give marvellous
accounts of rich gold mines found in
South Africa. One called the Sheba
mine, it is said, contains enough gold
to supply the world for all time. The
mass of gold quartz it is thought will
yield a million of tons of “payable”
stone without sinking one single inch
below the level of its exposed base.
Visible gold shows freely wherever
the quartz is chipped, and it is said
that no where in the whole mining
world can such a marvellous deposit
be matched.
The defeat of Smalls in South Car
olina and O’Hara in North Carolina

which would otherwise hang so heavi

The Governor's Message will repay
perusal. We copy the following sy

It presents the condition of Geor

culturally, commercially and finan
cially.
The bonds of the State stand among
the highest securities, although the

g is latU re is appealed to for a remedy of
this defect and suggestions are made
for its accomplishment.
The Governor’s account of the new
Capitol and its progress is most inter
esting. The work has been success
fully and economically managed.
Georgia will have an elegant building,
untainted by jobs and within the lim
it of the appropriation.
The Governor shows that the con
victs of the State are busily and use
fully employed. He urges that jus

doing a much better work probably
than they themselves know of and
we are inclined to think that many
other members of the press would
willingly follow their example if the
matter should be brought to their at
tention. We think we have said
enough above to accomplish the latter
object and we trust that good results
may follow our few remarks upon this
subject.
The inauguration of Gen John B.
Gordon as Governor of Georgia, which
takes place to-day, Tuesday, is des
tined to be one of the most brilliant
events of the character that has ever
occurred in Georgia. As the day of this
important occasion approaches, the
extent of the exercises increase in ev
ery way. All of the railroads center
ing at Atlanta have agreed to give re
duced rates upon this occasion. The
military will have a rate of one cent a
mile, aud visitors will have a rate of
i^wo cents a mile each way.
Women who occupy upper berths

Experimental stations, as recom-
^omended by the Commissioner of
Agricultural, are commended by the
Governor. The Legislature should
favorably consider this.
Education in the State is advancing
prosperously, and every proper aid and
comfort should be given it by the law
making power.
The philanthropic institutions of
the State are in good condition.
Governor McDaniel has cause to
congratulate himself upon the condi
tion of Georgia during his adminis
tration. He lias been one of the best
executive officers who ever was so
honored, and leaves his position with
the reputation of a patriot and states
man, wise and practical, honest and
sincere. He has been true to a great
trust and will be cherished in our an
nals accordingly.
