Fisher (colored) Observation-Disclosures. 1868
Sam Small leaves tonight for a tour
through New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
to make campaign speeches for Fiske and
Brooks. He says he is perfectly satisfied
with his vote and that he will be back here
in time to be heard from in the municipal
campaign.
A gentleman from Clayton county says
Sam Small would not have received as large
vote as he did in that county but for the
fact that he claimed to be democrat
Returns from the election in the state at
large come in slowly. So far as known the
only votes against Gen. Gordon for gov
ernor were cast in Spalding county, where
ticket bearing the name Of Bishop Turner
(colored) received some votes. The repubi-
cans elect two negroes to the House. and
one white man to the Senate. Several
counties send independents to the House,
but these are democrats.
An interesting feature of the election was
the defeat of the constitutional amendment
in creating the number of supreme court
judges from three to five. The defeat was
brought abou- by concerted action on the
part of the Farmers Alliance throughout
the entire state.
