DECLINE OF PopULIsM.
Every Congressional District in Georgia
is Solidly Democratic.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 9.-The returns so
far received from Wednesdays election
show that the total Populist vote will not
exceed $4,000. 1t was o. in 1891.
showing Il decrease of about 1000. This
falling Off is largely attributed to the
capture of the negro vote by Gov Atkin.
son.
In Il few sections of the State the Pop
ulist vote was increased. In nearly every
case it was due to the personal popularity
of some Populist nominee. In Floyd,
Wright's home county, the Populist can.
didate for governor received II majority
party sense, majority for Popul;sm,
since Gambler, Democratic candidate for
secretary OF State defeated Pearscn MS, the
Populist nominee, by over 500 votes.
In Coifey county, for the first time,
the Populist State ticket was given
majority, and the entire county ticket
elected. To offset this, however, twenty
counties that went Populist in 1894
rolled up on Wednesday the average Dem.
ocratic djorities. This is true of Camp
bell, Carroll, Chattahoochic, Clayton,
Dawson, Douglas, Emanuel Faycttc,
Gwinnctt, Harris. Mcriwethcr, Mont
Morcy, Spaulding, Pickens, Pike, Polk,
Roci,dac Tatnall, Taylor, Washington
and White
In large majority of the counties the
vote was consolidated without protests.
In Baldwin county the consolidation was
deferred and a correspondent writes:
Several tally sheets have..ny steriouslv
| Disappeared The managers decided to
wait until Saturday before declaring the
result. Some claim there will have to
be another election. Others say not
Whitfield has filed a notice of protest and
great excitement prevails and the mis-.
chief is to pay generality
One of the features of the election is
that every Congressional district in Geor
gia is Democratic and will send Demo
critic representatives to the next Con-
gress. The only district hell in doubt
was the Tenth. Two years ago in the
State election that district gave IL small
Populist majority. Richmond, Hancock
and Washington on "Wednesday gave
Democratic majoritics sufficient to Offset
the, Populist majortcs in the other
eight counties and show besides n clean
Democratic majority of ,, 1875.
The Journals estimate of the vote by
count es corrected up to date places At
kinson's majority Mt 30, l05.

AN IMPORTANT DEAL.
The Mason ana li"mlin Organ Secured

The Mason ana llanlin Organ Secured
by the Ilobbc Piano Co. in Virginia.
One OF the most important deals which
has been made by any piano and organ
house i'll Virginia for long time has
just been consummatcd by the IIobbie
Piano Co. in securing the sole represen-
tation in this state of the well known
Mason x lIamin orgun. This is known
by all musicians to be The best reed organ
in America, and with IL reputation cx-
tending all over the civilized world. The
name Mason \ llamlin is II power which
is felt by every agent and dealer handling
any other make, the first choice of
almost every purchaser being the Mason
X Elamlin.
The llobbic Co. has therefore scored II
triumph i'll obtaining the control of this
celebrated organ, not only because of its
great influence, but also because it adds
another evidence which shows the leading
position occupied by them in the music
trade. for il is IL wcl!-known fact that
such important agencies are not given to
any but those dealers who stand az the
head.
