Gambler and the Democratic state ticket
have swept the deck Of Populism to the
tune of between $1,000 and 10000 majority.
In addition to this great Victory for the
state ticket, two-thirds OF the counties
that went Populist two years ago, sending
Populists to the legislature, have been re-
claimed, and are now safely in the Demo-
cratic column.
At midnight returns show that the fol-
lowing counties that were populist have
gone for the Democratic nominee: Marion.
Milton, Baldwin, Taliaferro, Greene, Jack-
son, Hart. SchIey, Oconee. Laurens. WASH
lngton, Douglas and Taylor
The Popullsts win not have more than
ten members OF the lower house, against
thlrty-two last term, and not more than
two senators.
To-day's election is the final obliteratlon
of Popullsm in Georgia, and the Demo-
cratic leaders here are jubilant over Il.
But for the bad roads Ia
many parts OF the state, and
other causes that conduced TO a light
vote, the Democratic majority would have
been larger"
To Chairman Carter, who sat up Iate
watching them, the returns were like the
minstrel song, 1.-The Blow That Almost
Killed Father" He has been claiming a
Democratic majority of not over 1900,
with forty representatives and ten sena-
tors In the general assembly.
In Fulton county, the vote was a light
one, owing to the fact that the local mu-
ncipal primary absorbed interest. IL was,
however, o clean sweep for the Democrats
ticket, the Populist vote being insignih-
cant.
It Is impossible to give figures at this
hour, but the county may be depended
upon to give Gambler and the state tickee
1900 majority
The constitutional amendment Is adopt
ed.
Hon. Fleming duBignon. chairman Of tha
state Democratic committee, gave the fol-
lowing statement to the Associated Press
tonight:
II estimate Col Candler's majority at
approximately 10000 votes. There have
been no great surprises in this election.
Nearly two-thirds of the counties which
were carried by the Populists two years
ago have been reclaimed by the Democrat
ic party and the next legislature will bo
a practically unanimous body.
Il feel confident that is the last fight
the Populists will ever make in Georgia.
There has been no friction whatever
In the management of the campaign, and
nothing has occurred which could possi-
bly, excite censure. The whole fight has
been made upon high plane, and the
only appeals made have been to the reason
and judgment of the voters.
Two years ago the majority for the
Democratic nominee for Governor was
only $4,000. Several counties which were
carried by the Popusts two years ago
have been redeemed. White people OF
Georgia are now practically united in poll
itics, and u means that Georgia will re-
turn solid Democratic delegation to
Congress"
In Atlanta, Alderman James G. Wood
ward was chosen as the Democratic nom
inee for Mayor over Hon T.. w. Martin
The campaign has been very spirited.
and Woodward's majority Is about 200.
To-day's contest is an election, as no
other ticket VIII be placed in the field.
