Georgia and Florida-The Revival OF
Democracy.

Tho plain truth about Georgia is that a
campaign conducted OF tho tariff issue
alonc would probably have lost thirteen
electoral votes to the Democratic party.
II Is quite proper to sny this now that tho
danger Is past. Tho great. prosperous
commonwealth. with its myriad industries
and its constantly increasing total OF in
vcstments IN factory and workshop. is
Of free trade. Tho Democrats Of Georga
arc not ready TO acclaim or to fol-
low leader who bids them march IN that
direction. But the cal! 10 action against
the Force-bill conspiratorp. against the Re
publican scheme to restore Negro Domino
tion. TO reGstablish by Federal bayonets tile
social and political conditions which have
been horrid memory since tho State freed
itself from them twenty years ago. brought
10 the polls on "Wednesday Democracy in
solid ranks and with single purpose.
The victory is magnificent. both IN Its
immediate results and in what it signifies
for the success OF the national campaign
against Force-bill Republicanisrn. The
anti Force-bill Democrats OF Georgia have
furnished to the nntiForce-bill Democrats
OF New York about seventy thousand good
reasons for renewed confidence and re-
doubled energy during the next four weeks.
From Florida comes the Same story Of an
Irresistible uprising in the South for homo
rule and free elections. Tho silent Demo-
cratic vote is heard rs it is always heard
when Democratic principles are in danger,
In Florida. us in Georgia. the misguided
third party. masking the front rank OF the
Republican advance with its Federal bayo-
nets. has been swept out Of sight. The
news from the Solid South Is glorious The
Empire State Democracy sends greetings

We may expect anv day to hear the news
that Col. DoDDs and his forces have occupied
Abomey. the capital Of Dahomey. At latest
accounts the French were ncarerto the capital
than the main body OF the DahOmeyun SOL
diers. and tho road t. the capital WAS unob-
structoJ. The French had, in fact turned tho
flank OF the. enemy. and King BEHANzIN and
his troops were "betwecn the Devil and the
deep sea-" the ocean being south and the
hated whites north Of them.
The march OF the French up the Whems
River has been a triumphal procession. Curl
ously enough the cavalry went up tho river by
steamer. while tho infantry marched along
the right bank. accompanied by 1900 porters
carrying supplies. All the villages made haste
to tendor their submission. until the army
reached Dogbu. where tho French had des-
perato fight. lasting several hours, with over
1000 Dahomeyans. who hoped at that point to
check the further advance OF tho enemy. The
natives were completely routed. lost fully u
third of their force. and while they were re-
covering from ths shock the French adroltly
got in between them and tho capital.
1t is likely. however. that the Dahomeyans
will give tho French battle again in tho neigh
borhood OF Abomsy. Tho French could ask
no better place for decisive fight. for Abomsy

DEATH OF JAMES MORROW.
Sudden Demise of Former Whining
tonian In Brooklyn, NY.

News of the death of James Morrow of
Brooklyn, N y, was received in this city
Friday. The message did not state when
his death occurred, but he died Thursday
or Friday morning. He had been i'll less
than two weeks and his death resulted
from typhoid fever.
Mr.. Morrow was about 65 years old and
a former Wilmingtonian. He was a past
grand treasurer of the Grand Lodge of
Delaware, /. O. o. f., and an ex-president
of the Fame hose company. A small oil
portrait of the deceased, set in, used 10
adorn the front of the Fames hose car
riage. He was the second manager of the
Western Union telegraph office in this
city. succeeding l.. M. Chasteau. now cap
tain Of Philadelphia's park guard. He left
Wilmington just before the late war and
went south, where he remained several
years. Subsequently, he removed to
Brooklyn, where he resided a long time.
A few years ago, when Brighton Beach
Hotel was threatened with destruction by
the sea encroaching upon it, he conceived
plan for removing the hotel back dis
lance of 500 feet. His scheme was carried
out and he superintendent the job. The
work was considered great engineering
feat and scientific journals spoke very
highly of it. At the time of his death he
was superintendent of the railroad extend
ing from Brooklyn to Brighton Beach and
a director of the Kings county elevated
railroad.
His wife and two children, a son and a
daughter, survive him. Mrs. Morrow, nee
Anna Robinson, was a daughter of the
late Edward p. Robinson and is sister OF
William II. and Edward A. Robinson OF
this crty. A brother of the deceased re-
sides on Lombard street near Tenth.

Eighth ward there were several lively
lights between the supportcrs of Gould and
ellis.
RESISTED THE OFFICERS.
The most serious disturbance was at the
Fifth ward, east, polling place, Eighth
street near Tatnall which came near
developing into = riot. A negro named
Lewis ii. Hamilton, better known as
skinny" Hamilton, assaulted Officer Lor-
rigan with club at Tenth and Orange
streets, during the afternoon, because the
officer ordered him to move away from the
corner. Hamilton then fled, and Officer
Lorrigan took u warrant for his arrest.
About o'clock in the evening Officers
Black and Caldwell, the former having the
warrant, saw Hamilton at Eighth and Tat
nall streets and arrested him. He resisted
and struggle ensued during which he was
thrown to the pavement by Black. The
latter fell with the prisoner and severely
cut his leg on projecting step.
While laying on the pavement with
Black on top OF him. Hamilton made
vicious kick at Caldwell, and Black hit
Hamilton in the face. Then a crowd of %
orr 80 colored men, who were lettering
about the polls. closed up around the Off
GERS and the prisoner and yelled, don't
hit him again" at the same time drawing
revolvers. Officer Caldwell also drew his
revolver and warned the mob of angry
negroes not to Interfere.
The mob howled and threatened, the
prisoner resisted viciously and affairs were
assuming serious aspect when Chief
Blackburn, Sergeant Wigglesworth and
Officer di Mare arrived. The officers were
forced TO draw their reyolvers to keep the
crowd at bay while Hamilton was hand
cuffed. When the police marched away
| with their prisoner the mob followed
threateningly, and Chief Blackburn had to
forcibly impress IA passing furniture car,
into which the prisoner was thrown and
taken TO the police station. Had it not
been for this prompt action the riot would
probably have assumed serious proper
| tons.
| RECEIVING THE RETURNS.
The returns were received at Republican
headquarters by Edmund Mitchell, ,Jr..
secretary of the county committee. The
news was received with good humor and
cheers, marked only by one wrangle be
tween two Eighth ward hot-beads. who
tried to get together, but were quickly
hustled away from each other. Candidate
ellis appeared and made an address, in
which he said he was satisfied with the
result. me and my friends" he added
Twill now do all we can for the successful
