official reports have been received by the
Atlanta Journal up to IL o'clock to indicate
an average democratic majority of 10000
to 5000. Atkinson, the democratic nominee
for governor, has been scratched in all
parts of the state. and it is believed his
majority will not exceed 1900. The demo-
Gratis will have thirty majority in the state
senate ard 80 in the house.
Every congressional district except
Blacks, the tenth or Watson's district,
went for the democrats. The ninth, repre-
sented by Tate, is carried for the democrats
by seven majority and the fourth. repre-
scented by Moses, by 800. This is the first
election since the war when republicans
and populists have made a complete fusion.
The negroes voted solidly with the popu-
lists.
A great surprise has been he defeat of
Warner Hill. a prominent candidate for
