most exciting election that has occurred
here in twenty years. was held today. In
nine districts out of the seventeen in the
county General Evans is 122 ahead. and the
county is conceded to him.
The battle sharp from the opening
and it has been calamity won. For weeks
the canvass was red-hot in Hall. II. W. j.
Ham was one of the leading Atkinson men,
and his paper was the Atkinson organ up
his way. Just yesterday Sam Dunlap,
United States marshal. came out for Atkin-
son. The people were for General Evans.
and the way they put in the votes for him
was a caution.
His friends up here felt that this was the
county of all counties acting today to de-
eide the relative strength of the two can
didates.
1t was great victory for the people over
the politicians. Colonel Atkinson spoke
here one week ago and. as stated then, he
did not help his cause

FULL or CONFIDENCE.
The Johnston Men Are Keeping Quiet
a Roast for The Advertiser.

Birmingham, Ala May 19-(Special.)-The
Johnston men concede nothing to Oates and
his followers. They are in the fight and
propose to stay there until the convention
makes a decision. They have not given up
hope, nor do they intend to. They are con-
fident that Captain Johnston will be selected
as the leader of the organized democracy to
wage political war against the genial
Reuben and his followers. They expect the
race to be close, but the red-headed hero
from jefferson expects to go under the Wire
a winner. A little enthusiasm may have
crept away from some of his followers, but
with the majority this fever heat OF con-
fidence is as high as ever. A few have
given up, but the majority are still sticking
to him with death clinch.
While Colonel Oates's supporters are crow
ing over what they claim to be victory, the
Johnston men are lying low and saving
wood They are alert for trickery and eX-
pect to be beaten out of nothing, but to
have their just rights. Captain Johnston
left this afternoon for Montgomery, and
he will establish headquarters in that city,
and until the state democratic convention
meets and names its choice for governor
he will use every honorable means of cap
turing the coveted honor.
He Knows 1T Thoroughly.
This morning an Advertiser staff GORE
snondent tried to get an interview out of
TIE captain but he refused to be inter-
viewed by q representative of that paper,
giving the following reasons, which he sub

The Augusta Evening News says of Cen
eral Evans:
THE friends. admirers and supporters of
General Evans are becoming more and
more satisfied with the outlook for the
generals successful nomination. The po-
litcal ring who lending their support
to the distinguished gentleman from Cow
eta are commencing to feel that thine
are looking blue, as they see counties VIII

the Evans column, and are at work sea-
ing most diligently for some scrap OF rula

old specimen of southern gentleman, haI
at last picked up the fiimsiest of all Hllns$
grounds for an attack, and have the un--
blushing effrontery to say that munster
should not be a governor. The fact that tht
opponents of the general imply that a mar
is too good to be in power is itself con-
vincing argument Of their own political
scheming and mercenary principles.
In on editorial on preachers in Office"
The Gwinnett Herald says:
THE ring crowd in Georgia are raising
a great hue and cry against ministers OF
God holding office. The people did not think
it any obstacle to DR.. FELTON, and John
D. Stewart going to congress. Governor
Colquitt did not think it beneath the digni-
Northen thinks it honor to preach and
exhort his fellow man. Judge Jackson and
Colonel Bell, who represented this county
in congress, preached.
This I<imball house ring has established
a new dispensation. Judges can leave the
bench to wade into the muddy political
pool, but a minister of God is to be ostra-
cised Well! Well! What next?"
Commenting on Mr.. Atkinson's recent
effort in Wilkes, The Washington Chronicle
says:
HE spoke of the confederate privates in
high terms and endeavored to eXalt them
at the expense of generals and other Off
GERS. But confederate generals did mot
send the privates into danger. They led
them, and General Evans's wounds attest
his conduct in this respect
Says the LAGRANGE Graphic:
1.-THE efforts of Mr.. Atkinson and some Of
his followers to reegate to the rear the
old confederates regardless of their merit,
because they are in the way of the personal
ambition of few young ring politicians,
is the highest sort of evidence of degen-
eracy."
