Watson’s Defeat.

Nothing can be said in justification of Black’s election over Thomas E. Watson in November, 1894, that ban not be repeated in October, 1895, Black resign ed in the first instance, so glaring was the fraud. He should resign now for reasons not less cogent and patent. Black defeated Watson in 1894 by more than 7,000 majority; last week he defeated Watson again by less taan 2,000 majority. Watson was elected each time. Eleven counties are in the tenth Georgia congress district. Nine gave official majorities for Watson and two gave official majorities for Black. Watson will contest the seat before congress on the ground of palpable fraud. He will win it. The populists are highly inspired by the result of the late campaign and are already in traces for ‘96. Long live Watson!—Alabama Tribune.
