THAT CONTESE
Judge Maddox says that he has;
no fear of the Result.
THE AGED FLOPPER
Hopes thata Republicon Hous
Will Seat him His Son, Dr.
Howard Felton in this
City “on Business,"'
he says.
Much talk was excited in the
city yesterday by the statement
that Dr. Felton would contest the
election in this district.
Judge Maddox was seen this
morning and said that he had lit
tle fear of the result. He said that
he could prove his election by near
2,000, and that though the house
would be overwhelningly republi
can, it would not unseat him
where the evidence of his fair elec
tion was so plain.
Dr. Howard Felton, the son of
Dr. Wiliam Felton is in the city.
He said this morning:
‘I have evidence enought in my
pockets now of fraudlent results to
insure my father getting the place.
We will prove that the whole of
Cobb county was “fixed.” Then
the city of Cartersville, Rome dis
trict and several others in Floyd.
Altogether I have evidence of fraud
in over 20 districts of the Seventh
congressional district. There is
no doubt in mind but that my fa
ther will be seated.”
Many are inclined’ to think that
the republicans will seat Dr. Fel
ton just out of pure cussedness,
evidence of Fraud or not. But the
general opinion is that it will
amount to nothing.

Dallas, Tex., November 8. —The
judges are still counting the bal
lots, Major Kirby, populist, for
c digress, so far as returns are in
from Dallas County, leads Abbott,
democrat, by about 600.
If Kirby counts out as strongly
in the city as his friends expect he
will, the race in the sixth district
will be a decidedly close one.
Dispatches today assure the elec
tion of Gilliland, populist, over
Bell, democrat, iu the thirteenth
district.
WHERE IS THE STATE TICKET?
Even the rock-ribbed democratic
state of Texas has parted from the
faith, and partially gone over to
the enemy. The democrats cer
tainly lost two and possibly four
congressmen •
Nugent, populist, for governor,
is running like a scared hound. The
populists here are actually claim
ing his election. While many
leading democratsare dunbfounded
at th* cyclone which has well night
swep tthe party'out of existence,
others are not at all astonished.
They say that Cleveland and con
gress have utterly failed to cany
out the wiehes of the people, and
have betrayed every trust and all
confidence put in them.
There is loud talk of forming a
new national party with a new
name upon the best planks of the
democratic- poplist and old line
whig platforms.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Abilene, Tex., November th —
Texas, too, was caught in the
lide, not of republicans, but of
populists instead of republicans.
The time-worn plurality of 180,-
00 for democracy is s thing of the
past. Today's returns very mate
rially change the situation from
that of yesterday, when the demo
crats were conffndentof a plurali
ty of 80,000, while tonight they
will lie satisfied if barely ahead.
Every returu throughout the state
today shows phenomenal populis
gams, and many possibly indicate
the election of Nugent, the popu
lists* nomiee for governor, The
state is tonight claimed by both
parties. The populists claim a
plurality of 80,000 for Nugent,
while the democrats only claim
the state for Culberson by 30,000.
The democratic strongho'ds have
been heard from, while the popu
lists are yet to recieve returns
from the country districts.

Monticello Ge., Nov. 8. —Three
weeks ago Lee Lawrence, colond
raped a reapectable white womon
here. Fleeing he eluded the pursu
ing posse. The governor offered a
reward supplrmented by the citi
zens,and was appreneued at Jones
boro.
Judge Jenkins convened a spe
cial term of court today to try the
case. The identification at the
trial "as complete, Jind the evi
dence establishing his guilt over
whelming. Ths jury piomptly re
turned a verdict ofguiltly, and the
judge sentenced him to hang No
vember 30.
TAKEN OUT AND LYNCHED.
All during the day the excite
ment ran high After his convic
tion a mob of 500 men overpower
ed the sheriff and his guard taking
the prisoner from them.
Sheriff W, H. Phillips ucted
with great courage and brave y
and was ably by his posse
of thirty, but to me it was an un
equal contest, and the mob took
the prisoner just beyond the city
limits, where they hanged him,fill
ing his body with buckshot and
balls.
While determined, even to des
peration. the moo was calm and
orderly in its movements. No ef
forts were made to conceal the
dentity of the parties engaging
therein. The prisoner was taken
from the courthouse in the very
presence of the judge.
HANGING FROM A TREE.
Lee Lawrence is now hanging to
a limb adorned with a placard
which reads:
“To all negroes I This is your
fate if you perpetrate such a crime.
We will always protect cur wo
men. ”
The mob seemed to desire tha-
Lawrence lie positively identified
before executing him. The revolt
ing details of his outrage spurred
the good citizens to madness.

“See?"
Nahsville, Tenn., November 9.
Official and unofficial returnshave
now been received from seventy
five of the ninety-six counties in
theTenness e and these give H.
Clay Evans, the republican candi
date tor governor, a plurality over
Peter Turney, democrat, of 7,608.
The republican gain is steady
but no accurate estimate can be
made of the remaining counties,
many of which have no telegraph
facilities.
The election of Evans is now
claimed by the republicans state
committee by 10,000, and the re
turns seem to justify their claim.
The democaatic state committee
however still stand pat on theit
claim of 5,000 plurality for Gover
nor Turney, and at this time it
looks like the question will not
be decided until official returns
are received.
KVAN? HAS IT,
Returns have now been received
• rom eighty-ono counties and they
give Evans a purality of 3,114.
Estimates on the fifteen remaining
counties increase Evans’ plura’ity
to 9,500. The legislature will cer
taiuly be democratic.
A summary of the returns shows
that its composition will be eg fol
lows: Senate democrats 20; repub
licans 9; populist 3; doubtful 1-
House—Democrats 57; republican
34; populist 7; doubtfull. Total
—Democrats 77; populist 10;
doubtful 2. There is no change in
the situation an to the congres
sional delegation which will stand
6 democrats and 4 republicans al
though the democrats are elected
by decreased pluralities.
