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 was the case in nearly ev ery precinct in Floyd county, and perhaps in every county in the state.
