Atlanta. Ca, Oct 3.-The state cleo
4 ton occurred in Georgia to-day, the state
voting for governor and state house Off
4 GERS and full legislature, which is to
elect senator in November. Two years
AGO the state went democratic for gov
ernor by Il 600 majority for W. J. Northen
over W. L. Peek, the populist
nominee. W. Y. Atkinson is the
democratic candidate for governor
this year. and J. X. Hines the populist
nominee. The election has been closely
cntested for the last two months. and the
indications are that the state has polled
an unusually full vote, larger than two
years ago.
There are 1877 counties in Georgia, and
returns are coming in slowly, but there
seems to be no doubt that Atkinson's ma
jority for governor will be 10000, The
populists have made considerable gains in
the legislature, but not enough to in any
wise affect the democratic control of
either the Senate or the House.
Later reports from all over Georgia
show that the populists have made gains
in almost every county in the state. and
that the democratic majority will proba-
bly, not be more than 80, 900. The indica-
tons are that the populists will have
thirty or forty members in the next legis-
lature
Complete returns will not be in before
daylight, but it is estimated that Atkin-
SOL majority will be about 10000 The
populists claim that the official reports
will reduce the democratic majority TO
2lWO. while Chairman Clay of the state
democratic executive committee claims
the democratic ma. ority Will reach 35, 900.
