Democratic Apathy. “Sorehead ism” & Overconfidence Causes the Great Slump in the Party and the Populist Ad vantage. Old Floyd as Solid as a Rock. A Quiet Election. The Gubernatorial race of the year 1894 has been run and W; Yj Atkinson, of the county of Coweta, has been elected by from 25,0CX) to 30,000 majority, while the rest of the state ticket goes in with larger vote. This is not as large a majority as tbe average democrat had ex pected, but so confident of success was the rank and tile of the party that many of the staunchest be lievers in democracy remained away from the polls attending their every day business affairs. This was the case in nearly ev ery precinct in Floyd county, and perhaps in every county in the state. Another cause for the light vote was the strong undercurrent of prejudice, fed by populists and imbibed of by many democrats who cared not to seek the source of the baleful stories or motives which prompted them.
