Lwhi THIRD PARTY NOT IN IT. Ii t w FLORIDA AND GEORGIA GOES DEMO- of j CRATIC BY LARGE MAJORITIES. The People's Party Fall to Make Mitch i0 of a Showlg it) Either State- -Some Fa. (01 tal FJght4 Occu, inl Georgi. ''l JACKSONVILLE., Fla., Oct. 5.--The ( vote of the State is h'trdly as heavy as iot was expected. This is accounted for by Ila the fact that tho poll tax prerequisites ' kept down the aggregate cf qualitica- twc tion in all arties. Up to 9 o'clock full returns had not been received from anv W one of tho45 countius, but the precinct qu votes furnish a very good basis for cal- het culation. Mitchell. Democrat, has carried th6 st State by at least 20,0U) majority, though )a his vote will hardly reach :10,000, which Si is 10,000 less than the voto polled for Me Fleming, Democrat, in 1,88. Uit Baskin, People's party, cannot by any in possibility show up with more than 8,000 votes, which is 18,000 less than i the Republican vote four years ago, and white Republicans, where they voted at all, generally supported the People's party ticket, but the negreos, strange to say, divided their votes between in Mitchell and Baskin. TI Reports from about twent ;-iive coun- g0 ties declaro that more negroes voted at the Democratic ticket than the People's h( ticket; this too, without solicitation ot p1 any kind except it close contests on c county candidates. Geroge V. Wilson ai of the Democratic State Committee a says that his information warrants the assertion that Mitchell has a majority t3 of 20,000; this is an increase of about 10,000 over Fleming's imijority in 1888. A special trom Tampa to the Times Union says: Roi. S. M. Sparkman, Chairman of the Democratic State Com- I mittee, said at 12 o'clock t-night, "the 8 majority for the Democracy bids iair 1 to be much larger than the most san- I gulne could have predicted a few days 1, ago.p il Fifteen thousand riajority was (ilte e as;large as any seemed to hope for, but r the vote shows that the State is still L overwhelmingly Democratic, and that the people are not ready to abandon the party which has done so much for them in the State and nat ion. Although the people doubtless had, i and still have, just cause of complaint, which gave rise largely to the third party movement, yet the discontented men were soon convinced that the rea cause of the trouble lay not at the root , of the De)mocracy, but was the result of Republican miisgovernment and t that the Democratic party is still the people's f riend. Tle result to-day certainly dispels all doubts, if noy ever existed, as to the State being Democratic at tne Novem ber elect ton. The same couisideratioim in the minds of the people which car riett the St.ate for Mitclwll today will also carry Cleveland triumpliantly through on the bt.h of Noveiber. EIFFN l T I Ii ITA Ni I JI'i' I N I X) K; IA. I.AN-A,a,, Oct.. --1 oday recordh a glorious vic.tory for the temocracy 1 and the downfall of the Third party in (eorgia. The State Iuvi gone Deimo cratic by fifly 75,00ti njoril,y. Y'or Governor anud Stte lotie oil cers there:re two full tickets inl the fIeld, one of which is a at raight )euo cratic ticket and the other a !Ieople'i party ticket, each nominated by the ie spectivo convcn-.ions of the two par ties. The R apublicans nominated no State ticket, contenting thtemnselves with placiing a nat iona~l electoral tieKet in the field. Thu leaders of t,he party, however, umndetr the direction of Coli. A. E. Jick, Iinited States; Marshal of the ~Northern itrict of 0 orgli, and Chairman of the 1tepublican Stato Comt muittue, have:actively interested them seeves in tutrning the Itepublica.. vote to the stypport of thte People's plarty ticket on tile groutnd that t he deieett of the .1 lemtocratic ticket is the chiet con sideration 01 them1 it pubicans. lunck issued a circular letter to ithe voters of Gleorgia urging thmein t o vote the People's party ticket. Ti'ts will have the effect of givmng that ticket . great many negro votes, which it would not otherwise have received, but the -.effort to turn the solid negro vote to the third party will mueet with indif ferent success, hundreds of negroes and. many prominent RepublIcans reA 'ising to abide by the instructions of the Federal office-holders, almost every one of whom is for the People's party ticket. I Tihe Democratic tteket is headed by I Hion. W. J. Northen, who was renomi-e nated for Governor, and the People's party ticket by lion. W. L.Peck. Tlherer are 137 counties in Georgia and the ~ third party hPs candidates for the Leg islature in every county in the State except one or two. The day opened beautifully and from every part of' the I State bulletins announce the vote to be J the heaviest polled in Georgia in many years, The Democrats claim the State by from 30,000 to 50,000 majority. A heavy a vote is being polled everywhere and the I tremondous resei ye Democratic vote, I which has not been brought out for a l1 long time, as there has bcen no opposi- v tion to the State Democratic tickets, v will be polled through the State. At noon it was admitted that the ~ Democrats had 30,000 majority, the agricultural counties being conceded to the People's party. It was here thtate the surprise was shown. When the re ports from these counties began to come in they showed a steady stream of big 8 majorities for the Democrats. The p counties known to be hot-beds of 'u Third partyism came u,p wIth sur prising change of front. The P'eople's p art y leaders were completely demoral Ized. lRockdale, the home county of candidate Peek, gave 500 majority for ~ Northen. The only person rash enough ~ to venture a prediction of 75,000 ma jority last mght was Elector B. M. Blackb urn. To-night lie is hailed as a prophet in politics. TRAGEDIES OF TIlE CA31PA IGN. ATIIENs, GA., Oct. 5.-John Patter- i SOD, a negro, emerged from a hiding i place and shot W. I. T uck, a prominent c citizen of Wilnterville and cousin of f Mayor Tuck of this place, through the t bowels. Tuck's injuries will probably 'y prove fatal. The negro ran, and not- t withstandIng- that he was pursued by IJ a large crowd, he made hIs escape for C several hours. As a Georgia Cntral tl train was passing Wintervi lle for Ath- 1 ens, ratterson was discovered by some passengers under a coal chute. Hie at. tempted to escape again, but was pur sued andshot five times. With these J quilets in his body he outran his pur suers and stayed out of the way again ri for some time. When again discovered e he was shot through the head. There I' is a reat~ deal of excitement over the b . 111a?. The shooting is due to political ' teeling. The negro is dead. AUGUsTA, (Ga,, Oct. 5.--Isaiah Hlor. s toD, colored, was shot and killed by Dan Bowles at the poor house precinct, six a " miles from this city. A number of Democratic negroes, led by Bowles, d were marching tothe polls when eight t cdr ten third party negroes, led by Hor- C ton, rushed into the Democratic line. a Hoton~ rati up and struck Bowles a tWit knocking him to his knees. He t 1his hanld in Bowles' collar and was t matd+traetam tha third time, f m Bowles drew a pistol and shot i through the heart. A Coroner's r composed of four Deuocra's and third party men rendered a verdict ustiflable homicide. A Sad End.

In order to pro- e ide for "all expense of this work," it. I suggested that every postmaster so ture a contribution of $5 to the League uinds. These funds will provide for be circuliation of protection literature, a ,hich the League offers to seind direct a the voters or in bulk to the "corres- c ondents." The circular appears to Dnsider t,he postmasters appointed by I ifs administration as servants of the t rotective League. The End in Sight. QUA RANTiNE, N.

Siamese Gome and Otirlos, Native Goods from Java, and Contributions froin Mornev, Sunitra and tho Straits 8ettlonents. Recent lettera and cable dispat0h., received fron Leigh S. Lynch, who is cruising in the southern lacific in search of features for the world's fit r, convey the information that lie has very nearly completed his task. Ile has made all the necessary arrangements for exhibits from the Phillipine islands, Siam, Borneo, Sumatra, the Straits set tlements and Java, and is now on hi way to Sy(Iney, Australia, where he ex pects to meet an agent who has been :loing similar work in New Zealand, the Fiji islands, the Friendly, the So ,icty and other groups. It is not un littely that Mr. Lynch will be able to sil for home within thirty, or at the most, sixty days, WvIhen he left Chicaro lie expected to )e abroad ~until Novenl ber or December, but lie lua. been iore successful than he anticipated, and has made much more rapid progress than at first seemed possible. Ile says, how%, ever, that there will be a very (!oimiplete exhibit of the most important pro(lucts and industries of these countries, and that they will he In charge of na-tives. For example, the sultan of Johore Will provide the exhibits from Borneo, Su matra and the Straits settlements, and will probably visit the exposition in person with his suite. The exhibit which Mr. Lynch has contracte(l for in Siam is intended to supplement the exhibit of the Siamese government, and is subject to the ap proval of the Miamese commlinssioners. These have not been appointed---or had not been when Mr. Lynch wrote--but the men who were prominently men tione( for the place were consulted, a nd they all secul favolablo to M r. 1 V 1anch's project, so it is likely that a tine coLI lection of Siamese gems and eurios will be displayed in the space of the Oceanie Trading Company on the "Midway plais anco, Java will send not only a fie at,,ort. ment of native gooIs, but will eontrih ute native nusiciaus, dancers, juggl and athletes.
