There is absolutely NO doubt about
Terrells election. He has far more
than 176 votes, the Rumber necessary
to elect in the state convention, and
when all of the official returns are re-
ceived, which may be several days yet
his total vote will be Swelled to per
haps 220 or 225. He has carried 80
counties sure and there are several
that are yet in doubt. The returns
are to be consolidated today and the
result will then be known.
j. H. Estill ran second to Terrell,
carrying 80 counties, with about 20
votes. Mr.. Estill surprised many OF
his supporters with his great strength
and got many votes where he was
least expected to get them.
Dupont Guerry carried only II coun.
ties with about 4S votes. The fact
that Mr. Guerry ran third in the race
will be big surprise to his many sup.
porters in every section of Georgia.
It was generally understood that Guer.
ry had big following and would
make hard fight for the first place.
The biggest surprise of the election,
however, was the defeat of State
School Commissioner Glenn by w. B..
Merritt, of Lowndes county, Commits.
sioner Glenn was confident that he
would be elected, as were his friends
all over the state, but dispatches this
morning indicate that he will lose Bibb
county, his home county, to Merritt.
All the returns ON this election are
not yet In and the exaat result cannot
be foretold. At present Merritt has
$50 votes Ia the convention.
Commissioner OF Agriculture Stew.
ems defeated his opponent, r. T. Mes.
bit. by tremendous majority. He car.
ried 113 counties out of the 1877. In
this lis he got Cobb county, where Mr..
Nesbit lives.
Thomas Eason, the prison commits.
sioneT. has 206 convention votes so far
over 81 for Wiley Williams, who was
runniag against him.
Secretary of State Phil Cook was
elected without opposition, as were
Comptroller General Wright and State
Treasurer r. q. Park. Judge John G..
Hart also won out without opposition
for attorney general.
Associate Justices Samuel Lumpkin
and Andrew ]. Cobb are winners with.
out opposition for terms OF six years
each.
Congressman Livingston piled up a
majority of over 5000 over Charles
Brannan.
Late dispatches from Macon state
that Roland Ellis is defeated for the
house and that Guerry has carried the
county by 200 majority.
TIE IN TENTH DISTRICT.
