The aftermath of the recent record of
The battle of ballots throughout the
state is interesting.
There was less excitement IN the con-
test than there had been in an election
in Georgia for years, war news having
absorbed almost all interest of the whole
commonwealth, and those watching the
sIqus in the political skies we're not sur
prised by surprising resuIts-they ex-
pected the unexpected. But even the
most sanguine Gambler advocates hard
" dared hope for the tremendous land
slide in favor of the "Plowboy of Pig
con R1oss D." And in the few counties
which went for one of the other 3andi-
dates, particularly IN southern Georgia,
the race was closer than G ]. Gambler S
friends had calculated upon. Judge At
kinson did not develop the strength
which impartial judges of prospects and
indications had predicted, while Mr..
Buner outstripped the hopes of some
Of his conservative supporters.
COL Gambler carried 81 of the 1877
counties in the state, Judge Atkinson
captured IA counties and Hon. Bob Ber-
ner Won "A counties. Col. Gambler has
$50 votes in the convention, Berner Sc
and Atkinson 81. Gamblers majority of
the popular vote over both opponents
is about to l.
Hon, @. B. Stevens victory over Col
R. 7. Nesbitt for com missioner of agri
culture, was no less remarkable. While
his friends were confident of his success
:hey did not expect such tremendous
landslide in his favor In every section
Of the state he ran far ahead of his OPP
ponent, aud his vote in the convention
will be but little less than that of Col
Gambler, Mr.. Stevens carried 81 coun-
ties with 24S votes, and Mr.. Nesbitt 4(
counties with112 votes. A singular ca
Incidence is that Mr.. Stevens and Col.
Otndler carried the same number ID
connteS-97 Col. Gambler, however,
Will nave few more votes in the con-
Vent'on than Mr.. Stevens, he having car
lied more of the larger counties.
Below are The counties, and the mum.
Der Of votes each will cast in the con-
Yentlon, that have been carried by each
Oh 'he candidates for governor and com
missioner Of agriculture:
For Governor.
