THE AUGUST ELECTIONS.

In few days the returns from several of the Yves
tern and Southern States will begin TO be received
and il they shall exhibi, similar gain to that exhi
hiled by the returns from North Carolina then the
final result will no longer remain doubtful
The returns received from North Carolina, when
compared with the vote in 1910, when the State gave
majority Of 10 900 for Harrison, show an INN, nse
Democratic gain--a gain, which, If equalled in all
the States, will the success Of the Democrat
&c party by 200 900 majority.
When the returns are complete, we design pub
fishing the vote IN each county in 1870 and to de-
mons,raic the Democratic gain.
As far as heard from the Democratic gain on IN.
vote Of lSt0 amounts To nearly 1000.
