THE ROME HUI MI COMMERCIAL
JOHN W. IMDDOX
■Wins a Brilliant Victorij in
The Seitettilt.
ABOUT 4,000 MAJORITY
Over Col. Watt Harris. Carries
11 Counties.
.The people of the Seventh
congressional district of Georgia
have spoken, and by a majority
of about 4,000 votes have declar
ed their love for and their con
fidence in the ability ami integ
rity of John W. Maddox.
Judge Maddox has had a
strong opponent in Judge J.
Watt Harris, of Cartersville.
Judge Maddox has not been
I able to get into his district du
ring the campaign, but the con
test has, neverthe less, been ex
ceedingly lively. The newspa
pers of the district have been
full of hot political matter, and
there has been no dull time in.
that distr ct famed for its fierce 1
contests.
The result is a victory of
which Judge Maddox and his
friends have every reason to feel
proud.
There are thirteen counties in
J the district. Os these the official
returns show that Judge Mad
dox has probably carried all
except two.
Judge Maddox has carried
eleven counties, as follows :
COUNTY MAJORITY
Floyd 1,972
Chattooga . 800
I Murray 68
i Whitfield 220
Catoosa 250
Walker 400
Polk 150
Haralson 175
Paulding 125]
Cobb 615
Gordon 65
Total 4.840
Col. Harris has carried Bar-
j tow county with about 750 ma-
I ority and has also carried Dade
'I „ . . .
with about oO majority.
This leaves Judge Maddox a
clear majority of about 4,000 for
the entire district.
J. W att Harris isacleverman
and an able attorney, but as the
■ favorite son of old Bartow, that
mother of candidates, he has met
a Waterloo at the hands of the
Democracy of the Seventh dis
trict.
-
success in his operations in Ma
nila bay that rewarded his first
j effort. Now the report received]
goes to show that his plans are,
working out admirably; that he
has succeeded in placing upon
the insurgents the burden of con
ducting military " operations
against the Spaniards while he |
hiniielf is lying in enforced idle
ness awaiting the arrival of troops
and that he has succeeded in pre-,
venting the corruption of the in-i
surgent leaders by the Spaniards.,
which appeared at one time to be
threatening.
Charged With Murder.
Mr. Bob Chamblee left yesterday
for Gadsden where he goes to
defend Lem Evans charged with
murder. The Rome Moulder’s’
Union have employed Mr. i
Chamblee to defend Evans ; s he

Democracy has named Us s and
ard bearers for the fall elec’ioi -
of 1868.
In every county in the st it • th
democrats vo’ed yesterday i '
governor an 'st•. te o'dio i's fir
senators and members ot the 1- g
islature, and i<> many for n.em
bers of congress. In many coin -
ties the nominees for count
offices were selected. In a very
•ew there was balloting f' r su
preme court justices.
The candidate.) for state < fficeis
were:
For Govern ?r —Al e. I). Can

For Prison Con mis-ionm-
J. S. Turner and J. W R ■ r
For Trea c i rer W J Speer.
At n > ime has Coloi.ei Cendier’s
nomination s.em- d in deul t.
The race f< r secretary of stat':
was expected to be close, but Mr.
Cook surprised even his most en
thusiastic friends .
That for commissioner of agri
culture was one hard fought cn
both «ides and Senator Steven's
nomination was well won.
The r»ce for prison commissi, n
er resulted in a splendid vic’< ry
f or Judge Turn r. the present in*-
cumbent.
Without going into the de
tails of the elections, as reported
over the wires, the Hu tler-Com
mercial quotes the following
consolidated returns showing th;
convention strength of the can
didates who contested for nomi
nations on the state house ticket:
CANDLER 256
i Berner • *' 1
Atkinson . ... . . • 31
COOK 216
Hardin . < I
STEVENS 190
I Nesbitt 19<>
TURNER 218
Renfroe
The nominating convent.on
i will have a total strength of 350
I delegates.
From the returns now in it
appears that Col. Allen D. Can
dler has carried 95 counties with
i 256 votes.
| Mr. Berner lias carried 26
counties with GO votes.
Mr. Atkinson has carried 16
counties with 34 votes.
These figures may be reli< d
I upon as giving the results,
| though, of course they are not
official.
It will be seen that, while th
Il ustler Commercial has gone
down vutb the local colors nailt I
at its mast head, its state ticke t,
to a man, has won a brilliant
victory.
i With the overwhelming vic
tory, won by its slate a id con
