party IN every sense of the term. This is

THE LOSS N THE LEGISLATURE.
me unexpected result OF the
SlecLioh was the gains made by the popu-
!isIs IN IGo legislature. 1t is estimated
thaI Ine third party and reDubIicans will
have fifty to sixty members of the House
ana Senate, although the populisg commit
zee To-Day claims eighty. But with the
NUMBER conceded by the democrats.
une whole situation as to the cleo
uon OF United States senator and other
9Mcels IS greatly changed. The
democrats Will caucus On their choice
IN all probability Tor all onlces,
so that the successful candidate will repre-
sent pure democracy. But the election of
popuAsts to the legislature where demo-
CfatS were expected changes the STRENGTH
OF every avOwed candidate 1t is too early
yet TO see Just whom this change affects
most But the prophets are agreed that
the situation is vastly different today to
what 1t was two days ago. An indepeud-
enI candidate, who Will receive the pOpu-
HsC VoLe ana some democratic strength is
talked OF already, but in no definite way.
The defeat Of Hon. Warner Hill in Meri-
wether county has been widely discussed

probable speaker of the next House, being
the faVOrlte in the race. His defeat leaves
lion w. II. Fleming of Augusta the favor
lie. Mr.. Fleming arrived here to-day to
look after his interests. He expects to win
the sneakership in walk now. Hon
John I. BOiteuiilet of Bibb, Hon. Mark
Hodge Of Pulaski and Hon. d. j. Bailey of
SpaIdlng are yet in the race, however.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
Information showing the fate of the three
proposed amendments 10 the constitution
Is very meager In most all of the reports
received, the vote on these is not men
TONED, but where it is given it indicates
that all the amendments are lost. The pop
ulists generally voted against the amend
ments. The law is, however, that the fate
OF the amendments depends on the will of
only those who vote for" or against"
III express terms, and the official returns
may alter the present indications.
CHAIRMAN CLAY's VIEWS.
Chairman Clay, this afternoon, gave the
| following interview to the press: 'The
reduced democratic majority is due to four
causes in my opinion. The first of these
was, that fully 80 per cent. of the colored
vote was against US.
The second was, that we had an I'M
usually hot primary, in which much bad
blood was eugendered.
AtfI'hn ff1ir6 ba Cyra1s aou EdnDoa nd
apathy among democrats, which caused
many to stay away from the polls.
THE fourth was, that the low price Of
cotton was attributed to the Demo
| cratic party, which had nothing in the
world to do with IT,
In the Fourth district I am informed
that the entire cOlored vote went for the
populists.
Il think the effect Of the election will be
good. The democrats will realize the situ-
alton and will become more active and
aggressive. / have no fears Of the popu-
| lists getting control OF the state. The ex-
| ecutive committee and the campaign COM
mittee Will still keep up work correspond
ing with the Congressional committee and
rendering all possible assistance to it. To-
! day the democratic headquarters will be
| closed and any work that may
| be done in the future will be
! transacted by MIR Berner and my
self from our homes. [ wish to
| return sincere thanks TO the gentlemen
who have aided US in speaking and in
! working about the state, many OF whom
| have done so at great sacrifice. One re-
| markable fact about this campaign IS that
! it has been run almost entirely without
money. We have spent not over 5000,
| every dollar of which was spent for leglti-
mate campaign purposes, such as sending
| out telegrams, paying for stenographers,
! stamps and literature. 1t has been clean
campaign in every sense Of the word, and
much hard work has been done"
TIE TOTAL VOTE CAST.
1t will be some days yet before the total
| vote cast at yesterdays election, or even
| an approximate estimate can be made.
| The vote for governor and state house od-
GERS goes to the legislature, but the re-
! turns for members of the legislature will
| begin coming into the secreJory of states
office this week and from them fair esti-
mate can be made UP. The returns that
have been received here are mostly on ma
| iorities only. so it would be impossible to
ngure the total yOto cast, although IN
instances where the total vote cast Is
given comparison with the vote Two
years ago shows heavy falling OF. This
indicates that when the total vote cast IS
finally known, a big slump will be shown,
and TO the very light vote polled IS al
ttibutpd the reduced democratic majority
IL is believed that in the final reckoning 1t
will be shown that the increase OF the pop
uiist vote over two years ago will be found
comparatively small. But the failure of
the democrats TO turn out and vote makes
this small increase appear large Two
wears ago Peek received $4,000 votes and
Gov. Northen beat him 10000.
