ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 5.-Georgia voted
to-day for governor, state officers and full
general assembly. For governor and state
house officers there were two full tickets in
the field. one OF which was the straight demo-
cratic ticket and the other the Peoples
party ticket. each nominated by the re-
spective conventions of the two parties
The republicans nominated no state ticket,
contenting themselves with placing a ma
tional electoral ticket In The field. The
leaders of the party, under the direction Of
Col a. E. Buck. United States marshal Of
the Northern district OF Georgia and chair
man Of the republican state committee,
actively interested themselves in turn
ing the republican vote TO the support of
the Peoples party ticket on the ground that
the defeat of the democratic ticket was the
chief consideration Of the republicans. Col.
Buck issued circul ar letters to the voters of
Georgia urging them to ote the Peoples
party ticket. This was expected to have
the effect Of giving that ticket a great many
negro votes which it would not otherw
receive; but the effort to turn the solid
negro vote to the third party met with iu-

many prominent republicans refusing to
abide by the instructions OF the federal
Office holders, almost every one Of whom is
for the Peoples party ticket. The demo-
cratic ticket was headed by Hon. w. J,
Northen, who was renomineted for gov
ernor. and the Peoples party by Hon. W. L.
Peek. There are 1877 counties in Georgia,
and the third party had candidates for the
legislature In every county in the state ex-

ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 6, 2 a. M.-Returns
received at the headquarters Of the state
committee tonight up to midnight indicate
that the total democratic majority in the
state will be about 10000. This is over
10000 more than was estimated By Chair
man Atkinson in his latest esti-
mate. In every county heard from
the democratic majority has been
above what was expected, and in conse
quence great deal of enthusiasm pervaSed
the crowd that sat up till midnight in the
committee rooms waiting for the returns
counties that were conceded to the third
party by the committee went democratic. In
every district where there as anything
IKE heavy third party vote cast the ma,
yorlty of the voters were negroes, which
SHOWS that the claim that the farmers had
embraced the new faith was woefully
wrong. Col. Bucks manifesto is regarded
as having aided materially TO increase the
democratic majoritie5.
So far as heard from the third party
ticket was successful in not more than
10 counties out Of the l37 and a fair esti-
mate gives the third party about twenty
members Of the next legislature, the ma

over 500 majority.
