son tdem.) is reelected by a majority
OF not less than 5000, which Is an in
crease Of 1000 over the party majority
OF two years ago. The situation at mid
night is very complex. and the result is
largely guess work. Fulton county, In
which this city Is situated, has given
Atkinson a majority OF 1900. Ribh
county this year gives a majority OF
600. and two years ago it gave the dem
ocrats a majority OF 1900. In the Tenth
district. which is the home of Thomas
Watson, the democratic majority has
dropped from 5000 to 1000. It is gen
orally conceded, however, that Atkin-
son has carried the state by at least
$4,000, and the returns are expected by
his friends to show hat he has a ma
jority Of $4,000. This. If true, will mean
that the balance OF the ticket has been
successful by majorities of 4 $1,000.
The chairman of the state democratic
executive committee,q Mr.. A. c. Clay
says: I'VE have carried the state by
between $4,000 and 40, 1000 majority. The
populists have not carried 20 counties
out Of LAT in the state, and they have
lost many of the counties they carried
In 1894"
Ex-Secretary of the Interior Hoke
Smith. in an interview with a repre-.
sentative of the Associated Press to-
night said:
THE contest in Georgia was over the
question OF local government. Nation.
al issues did not enter into it. Gov
Atkinson won the confidence of the ne.
gro vote by his impartial administra,
ton, and the large majority of them
supported him at the polls"
A. E. Buck, chairman of the state re.
publican committee said: "Atkinson's
large majority is due to the prohibition
plank in the populist platform. Tit
governor won the negro vote by his eff
forts to suppress lynching. The result
has no significance nationally"

north of the scene of today's crime
shot the cashier of the bank of North.
field down and decamped with a large
amount OF money. In that instance the
robbers departed on horses, whereas
today the criminals, in keeping with
the times, used bicycles in escaping
from the enraged citizens of Sherburne.
At about 1:30 O'Clock two masked
men walked through the front entrance
OF the bank to the cashiers box, and,
without a word, whipped out their re-
volvers and leveled them at Cashier
Thorburn. The latter did not move,
but the next minute the report OF the
rtvolvers rang out and Cashier Thor
burn fell at his desk.
At another desk il the bank stood
Cerstern, a travelling man. He was the
c1iy immediate bar to the ends which
the robbers sought to gain, and as
Thorburn fell to the floor they turned
and shot him dead.
AS rapidly as possible they leaped
over the railing and secured 81, 900 in
cash. They then ran for the back door
Of the bank, where they had taken the
precaution to leave their bicycles,
mounted them and rode away. 1t all
happened inside of two minutes and the
only witness to the deed was a woman
who stood across the street from the
front entrance Of the bank and who
was attracted by the report of the re-
volvers. She saw them turn On Ger
stern. secure the money and decamp.
AS soon as possible she gave the
alarm and in five minutes after the
deed had been committed the little
town of Sherburne wa in a state Of ex-
element such as never before has been
seen there.
Thorburn, 1t was found, was not
dead. Oerstern had been shot through
the heart and had apparently been in
stantly killed. Thorburn lived two
hours, having received bullets in sev-
eral different parts Of his body.
The town of Sherburne contains
scarcely a score more than 300 inhabi-
tants. but inside Of 10 minutes several
posses had been formed, including
nearly every male citizen Of the town
and a search was at once instituted.
Every town and village which there is
the slightest possibility Of the robbers
visiting in their efforts to escape has
been warned and their capture is ex-
pected At any moment.

UPON THE STUMP.

Chicago. Oct. THE campaign of
education, SO far as the distribution of
literature is concerned. will be finished
on October 81. At both democratic and
republican headquarters it is announc-
ed that the distribution Of literature
will practically cease ON that date and
all the energies of both parties will be
devoted to the conversion of voters
by means Of the stump. The demand
for literature has greatly fallen of in
the past week, and it is considered that
by that time It will have ceased almost
entirely. There Ia still a demand for
cartoons and posters, and these will
continue to be distributed.

turns Of the state election yesterday
continue to come in slowly. Up to Z p.
m. complete figures had been received
from only I'VE OF the 46 counties, en-
bracing u Of the $50 election districts
In the state. These i've counties gave
Bloxham (dem.) for governor, 6,O26;
Gunby (rep.), 1878. and Weeks (pop.).
665. In 1892 the vote in the same coun-
ties Mitchell (dem.), 6,997; Bos,

cratic loss Of OIL, or IA per cent as COM
pared with the previous election.
So far As heard from the election
passed OF with absolute quiet in every
part of the state. The effect of the Aus

KEEPING UP HIS REP.
Walter Daniels the Fastest Man In
Montana

Walter Daniels n keeping up his rep
utation as a biker in Montana, having
just proved himself to be the fastest
man in that state. and made a mile in
2:07 AS. The Butte Miner of Tuesday,
Oct. 6, gives the following account of
two remarkable races:
The half mile professional again
brought together Royce, Daniels. Fer
guson. Keer, Peters and Pierce. 1t was
conceded that the race was between
Royce and Daniels, as both men were
out to win. Pierce started out to
scorch the others to death and made it
hot enough away around on the far
ther turn. where Royce repeated his
well known trick of stealing the first
place. He passed Pierce as they came
around the last turn into the stretch.
Daniels made the great ride of the day
right here, coming up like the wind on
the pole and gaining on Royce at ev-
cry foot. The latter saw him and
strained every nerve to save himself,
but Daniels was too full Of Roadway
and could not be shaken of. In the
last SO yards he ate up the gap and
beat the yellow boy across the tape by
a clean length. Ferguson finished
third. Time. 1927 2-5. A purse of $40
was divided as follows: First. $50;
second, SO; third, IS.
Royce. Daniels, Ferguson and Peters
engaged in the one mile professional.
Upon this event the Judges placed q
time limit Of 2:15. Daniels won, Royce
second and Ferguson third. Time, 2:18
which was allowed by the judges for
the reason that the tandem PAGER pune
tured it's tire. A purse OF $50 was d.
vided as follows: First, $45: second,
us.
Daniels then went against time,
paced and from q flying start. Lass
well and Pierce On the tandem and
Royce ON q single did the pacing. He
made It In 2:07 IS, establishing a Mon
tana record for that distance.

nothing well to say of them, and vel

who have made the largest fortunes and
made them easier than any other rich

1T was essential hat the coined
value. the bullion value in zach OF these
dollars should be the same, or closely
the same. and so our great statesman of
the past. Hamilton. that great leader of
thought and Of the federal party: JEFF
ferson. that great thinker and leader of
the democratic party. put their powers
to work to select and find a ratio be-
tween silver and gold, each of them de-
claring upon the commercial value of
the bullion that was in the dollar. Now
it is proposed to coin silver dollars at
l6 to /. when the commercial ratio is 81
to !. These men say that they are fol-
lowers of Jefferson. Mr.. Bryan says
we signed, proclaimed and made good
upon the battle field the declaration Of
Independence. We whipped the Brit
ish at Yorktown and could do it at any
appointed place. Now a nation so DOW
erful. he says, are we to be Briton's
slaves when we have cast off our poll
teal shackles?
well. my friends, there are some
things that human power cannot do.
The individual cannot do it, nations
cannot do 1t, and one Of those Things is
to fix the market value OF anything.
Congress cannot fix the market value
Of silver OIL gold, any more than it can
fix h market value of wheat. There
are laws Of trade, and all the legislat-
ures in the world cannot annul them.
Now, Bryan's proposition is that we
shall have bimetallism of both gold and
silver at the ratio of Is to 1, in other
words, that we shall have by law a
proclamation that a man shall give a
dollars worth Of something for so
cents worth Of something else. 1t is
absolutely impossible. 1t Is base. 1t is
worse than base; it is not c%reditabIe.
1t is not speaking in high estimation OF
the intelligence Of our people when it
is said to them chat because we achiev-
ed our political independence we can
make two unequal things equal to each
other. (Applause.) A congress might
make a law that one buffalo skin should
be equal to a coon skin. (Laughter.)
But If you want to know the ratio be-
tween these skins. you would have to
go to the fur merchant, not to the
statute books; and SO it is precisely
with this matter of the ratio Of one dol
lar to another. The law can take the
commercial ratio and approximately
maintain and hold the double standard,
but 1t cannot disregard the quotations
in the markets for these metals?"
