counted up to 4o’c oc'<
a m-To nnish today
The primary election, held ir.
this county yesterday, has resulted
in what, at this hour , 4
to be many surprises to many peo
ple.
In the first place, about 2500
voteshave been polled in the
county, about 1500 of them in the
Rome bollot box, showing that
Floyd county is one of the strong
est democratic counties in the
state.
Other surprises have been in the
nature of the returns that have
come in from the country dis
tricts, shoowing that the new
ticket had a very i umerous follow
ing.
The official return s, however,
have been brought in from but few
of the districts, this is perhaps
due to the fact the ticket is an un
usually long one, taking much
time to count out the votes.
The reports that came from the
county, up to midnight, gives the
the new sheriff’ticket an estimated
majority of 200. This, the friends
of the old ticket say will be over
come by the majority given the
old ticket at the Rome ballot box,
the votes now being counted.
In the Clerk of court race Mr.
Sanford's friends claim that he
will come to Rome with an esti
mated majority of 250. Clerk

that his majority of the Rome
box will easily overcome the

Poughkeepsie, N. Y. June 6.
The McGlynn mansion, which
stands near the Vassar college, is
a favorite resort for students of
the college and their friends, who
come to visit them. Last night a
burglar entered the house, and
was on the poin t of forcing his
way into a room occupied by three
Vassar seniors, when one of the
girls awoke with a start, and, see
ing the form of a man, gave the
college yell. The burglar took
fright and escaped by jumping
from the second-story balcony.

Specials received last night
from t'lw coUnties of the Seventh
district, that acted yesterday,
■shows that Congressman Maddox
had carried the counties of Cobb
4, Horalson 2, Catoosa 2, Chat
tooga 2 and Dade 2. Judge Mad
dox had already carried Paulding
‘•2, making him fourteen votes.
Floyd also acted yesterday giving
him six more or a total of twenty
out of the 36 votes in the conven
tion.
Bartow held a mass meeting and
probably went to Judge Milner,
This is probably the only county
of the 13 that Judge Maddox.will
fail to carry.
I’he specials from many of the
countries state that the democrats
were almost unanmbus for Judge
Maddox.
Flovd will give him almost a
solid vote of 2000. Judge Maddox
is as certain to lead the Seventh
district democracy to victory this
fall as he has’led his friends to
victory for the nomination.
A CURT DEMAND
President Resists an Order to
Allow an Exile Jo Return-
San Francisco, June 6. —Ad-
vices from Honolulu state that
President Dole has received a per
emptory demand from England to
allow Volney V. Ashford to land
on Hawaiian territory. Ashford
and his brother C arence tcok an
active part in the revolution of
1895 and were exiled.
“It is understood,’’ says the ad
vices, “that President Dole has
replied to the demand, refusing to
allow Ashford to land here. In
close official circles, it is believed
a British man-of-war will come
here and Ashford will be landed,
without respect to the wishes of
this government. The Hawaiian
government will remain firm in
the matter, and will probably ap
peal to the United States for aid.”
The Ashford brothers are at
present in this ci'y, Volney Ash
ford being quite ill. lie declined
to discuss the news received yes
terday. His brother said that when
Volney was r eady to return to
Honolulu he would do so. At
present, however, the probability
of his early return was very re
mote.
