Jones, of th Democratic National committee,says: "The Georgia election means a solid south as well as a solid west, for Mr. Bryan in November. Con sidering the fact that the Georgia democracy had arrayed against it the united strength of the administra tion, the republicans, the populists and the prohibitionists, a majority of twenty thousand would have been regarded as a good victory. X'It appears from returns so far as received that we have double that, having made gains in "nearly every county. I consider the Testtlt-aa as suring Mr. Bryan a majority of not less than sixty or seventy thousand in November It shows that the people are with us in this fight and that they cannot be diverted by any subordinate issues whether of local or national interest. "I am more than confident that Mr. Bryan will not only carry every southern state but also every state west of the Mississippi river, as well as a large majority of the central western states, insuring him an over whelming majority in the electoral college." Senator Marion Butler of the' Populist National committee, says: "It is almost certain that a ma jority of the white votes of Georgia was cast for the People's party stat ticket This is a great gain over tho party's last vote and is due to the per sonal popularity of Tom Watson in his own state and to the desire of the people to rebuke the manage ment of the Democratic party in th state affairs of Georgia. "Evidently the Democratic party is indebted to the negro vote for whatever kind of victory they have won. "The outlook for Bryan and fret silver is much better than it was 10 days ago The reaction against thd schemes and methods of the Republi can party has already set in and will grow in force until the day of the election . This proves the i m potency of a boodle campaign, wThen the peo ple are aroused on a great and vital issue. The present indications show 232 electoral votes reasonably certain for Bryan, with at least an equal chance of 75 more." Steamer "Paris" in Distress. By telegraph to the News. New York, Oct. 9.

Fusion has made it necsssary that there shall be enormous Democratic defection from the free, silver ticket if McKinley is to have even a re spectable majority of the electoral votes.
