GEORGIA STILL DEMOCRATIC.

.Leaders Claim to Have Carried the State by 40,000 to 80,000 Majority. Georgia has elected a Governor, State officers, and a full General Assembly. For Governor and State officers there there were two full tickets in the field,; one of which was the straight Democratic ticket and the other the People’s party ticket. The Republicans nominated no State ticket, contenting themselves with placing a national electoral ticket in the field. An Associated Press dispatch says that Gov. Northen and the whole Democratic tioket is elected by a majority of not less than 40,000, and the reports to come may even run it up to 80,000. In Fulton County, for instance, the precincts return such figures as 58 for Northen to 12 for Peek, 51 to 13, 55 to 5, and so on. Col. Peek’s own home gives a majority of 2 to 1 for Northen. Marion County, the home of the People’s party candidate for Secretary of State, gives 1,000 majority for the Democrats. In about sixty counties of the 135 to be heard from the Democratic majority is ever 60,000.
