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. For any information address M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans, La. Sure you are right, go ahead! 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 will make the fiftieth Congress the first purely white House since the war.

It presents the condition of Geor gia in a favorable light morally, agri culturally, commercially and finan cially. The bonds of the State stand among the highest securities, although the iven of the news- estimate of the State’s real wealth is which are e-ratui-1 far below the actual facts. The Leg- 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 tice be tempered with mercy in their tors of newrpapers who so kimllv case. There should be humane treat- send their journals to the Asylum are J ,1J ent, but not on the line of maudlin 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 in a sleeping car often experience a long looked-for sensation—a man un der the b3d. sentimentality. 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. Prison Congress of the L^iJ, .^ att r s in session in Atlanta, Ex-1 resident, R. B.
