Atlanta, Ga, Nov 9.-"We have
nothing to feel badly about,
except possibly, that some people have
not enough good sense to vote the demo-
cratic ticket all the time" Judge Crisp,
sneaker of the House of Representatives
was discussing the recent elections with
Senator Fitzgerald Hon Boykin Wright,
of Augusta. and several others in his
room at the Kimball this afternoon. He
stopped off here to-day on his way home
from Washington. Then you don't feel
set back any by the way New York,
Iowa and those otherplaces played into
republican hands'n he was asked.

headed Georgian, whose great good sense
has stamped his individuality upon the
nations record as good humoredly as if
the whole thing had been joke. He does
not feel at all worried over these republi-
can victories, and thinks there is nothing
significant enough in them to Justify any
serious connection between them and ma

The only point we get, he continued,
"is that our ancient enemy is not yet
dead He still lives, and is ready to fight,
despite the democratic tidal wave that
buried him year ago"

ready to report back from the committee
soon after congress meets next month"
The tariff bill, Judge Crisp says, will

Massachusetts is another republican
state, though William G. Russell was
elected governor there twice. But at no
time did his state house ticket succeed.
His personal strength was what made
him successful. He received the full
party support, and more besides. But
John G. Russell, the recent candidate, did
not have the independent strenth of Will
