MANAGERS OF THE ELECTION.
The Democrats Agree to Division
With the POpuIists.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 25.-Returns re-
ceived by the populists state committee
and by the Evening Journal, which has
also inauguarted a poll of the chairmen
Of the county executive committees, indi-
cate that the general sentiment in the
democratic party is for a division of
managers with the populists in the com
ing election. Several weeks ago Chair
man Cunningham of the populist state
committee determined to make campaign
material by having his lleutenants in
every county, present to the ordinary and
and county chairman petitions asking for
a division of managers. This demand was
to be made throughout the state on Sept.
Y, and the result reported to populist
headquarters for the purpose of publica-
ton. AS far as can be ascertained the
request was made by the populists in
many of the counties of the state, and
the replies have been coming to Chair
man Cunningham's Office in large patches
during the past few days The fact that
Chairman Cunningham kept these replies
closely locked up in his desk and did not
care to let any one know what they were
caused some of the democratic managers
to smell rat. If the replies had been a
refusal of the democrats to agree to
division of the managers Chairman Cum
bingham would have lost no time in pub
fishing that fact to the world. He ad-
mitted that the tendency of the replies
was for a division, when approached for
his statement In order to get the exact
situation and give 1t TO the public and
thus expose the populist scheme, the
Journal three days ago sent out a circu-
lar letter to all the counties, asking for
straight answer to the question whether
or not a division of managers would be
m CO Fo~
counties have replied and In all of them
| the democrats say that they will make
the division of managers, as recommend
ed by Chairman Clay of the state central
| committee. If some such action has al
ready been taken with reference to a
division Of the managers the populsts
will have no ground upon which to base
their usual cry of fraud, and as this di-
vision is assured in every voting pre-
cinct, the populists are not only beaten
at their own game before hand. but will
nave to accept the result in good faith

OF Judge Whittington's selected stock to
housewife on Patterson street. He was
put in jail and will be tried for burglary.
IT is estimated that Crockett, as he calls
himself, has stolen during the past three
weeks 80 chickens from hen houses on
Troupe street alone.
