CONSTITUTIONS EDITOR.
Clark Howell Says the Majority in
Georgia is So, 900.

St. Louis. Oct S.-The following spe-
cial has been received from the editor
of the Atlanta Constitution:
Atlanta. Ca, Oct. S.-Indications are
that the Democratic ticket has carried
Georgia by not less than $4,000 major
ity, this being the majority of Atlzin-
son over Wright. for governor, while
the majority for the remainder of the
state ticket viii probably be not less
than $4,000. Atkinson runs somewhat
behind the other Democratic nominees,
on account of the vigorous efforts of his
Populist opponent, and appeals to un-
founded prejudice against him. His
majority Of $4,000 is 1000 more than
that received by him over the Populist
nominee two years ago
Returns received by the Constitution
indicate a large increase in the Demo
cratic vote throughout the state. Many
of the counties, which the Democrats
lost two years ago, gave large MAORI
ties for Atkinson today and other coun-
ties which gave Democratic MAORI
ties of from 200 to 500 then. gave Atkin-
son from 500 to 1000 majority now
In the Tenth district which is the
residence of Thomas E. Watson, the
Populist nominee for the vice presi-
dency the aggregate Democratic vote
is larger than that of the Populists.
The legislature is overw helmingly
Democratic the indications being that
the Populists viii not have as many
members in the next legislature as in
the present, in which they have nearly
forty mem bers. The probability is that
the Populists viii have less than twen-
ty-five members in the next general
assembly out of total of 219.
