Mr. IKIMELE, or his J2cKsOD opponent MT
i DANIEL has lriumphcd in the FIRST ConSression-
Di,tlicr: but from the general tone OF those
rq,,rs. we incline 10 the belief that Mr.. DAN

INNS from all the Districts are pretty well
known, understanding that, Mr.. Trimble has
been deieaed--afford the following result oil The

The Eve names in Italics are supporters OF
,be Administrator: the other seven are friend
~ 10 General Jackson In the 18th District
Mr.. LYON has succeeded in consequence OF Mr.
gIe,ry and Mr. New, both warm friends Of the
Administration, standing poll, the aggregate
votes given TO the TWO being not far short oil
double the number given TO the successful can
3iGare. The Administration majority IN this
District alone, was greater, by several hundred,
,hau the combined Jackson maIorilirs IN the
l,t. the slh and the 10Th, which were lately rep
resented by Trimble, Mcilaltan and Johnson.
Thus it appears, that, four 1.-THE seven Jack
SON men elected, were returned from four Dis
,ricis in which the Administration have de-
cided majority Of firm friends. In The other
three Jackson districts, Mr.. Moore, Mr. Wick
life aud Mr.. Lacompte are the representatives.
rhe FIRST had no opposition; the second receiy-
cd majority, over his Administration, oppo'
nent, Of 1890, while the representatives to the
State Legislator in the same District, are c.
gually divided; and the third was elected by
mliorily Of 500. Although Mr.. Moore had no
opposition, 1t is conceded by the Jacksonies,
that there are three friends OF the AdmlnIstra'
uon in that District, for every friend OF Jack
son, either in the District represented by Mr.,
Lelcher, or in that represented by Mr.. Young;
asither (which attempted to support jack
sla candidate. The Jackson majority, in MIR.
WickTHe's District, as evinced by the votes
given for Safe Representatives, is mere no.
hing, while The Administration majority IN
Judge Clark's District, is Of the most decisive
tharacter-eyery Representative TO the State
legislature, with the exception Ut one-being
administration men. Mr. .Lecompte's major
uy, we have already said is sos. As set OH
10 this, Gen MelcaIf's majority is 52s;and in
me same District seven out of nine State
REPRESENTATIVES,, are Administration men.
From this view Of the actual result Of The
,'rurrle, il is unGcniable that the Administra-
Ion party is q powerful majority OF the State,
Iby GENERAL TIckEr will give in 1928, una
aimous vote, for the present Chief Magistrate
Wesay by "Geueral Ticket" because the pre-
sen, mode Of voting for Presidential Electors Is
By THREE. DrsrRIcrs, but the Administration
aaying large majority in both branches oil Inc
legislature, its friends will not suffer the vote
Of Kentucky to be divided, while Virginia
North and South Carolina, Georgia, hiaoaua'
md indeetlsxnl the decided Jackson Sta'es' Vo'e
by General Ticket. II is we'll known that hao
the HERDS per,izans succeeded in c'eetlns

J termination TO change the mode OF Eieeton
provided they could be certain that sneh
