The ELECTIONS IN THIS STATE-The result of the cleo
tons in this State may be stated now with some degree
of accuracy, although the full returns all in We
have heard from AZ counes-leaving Blount, Coffee
Dale Henry, jackson, Lawrence, Marshall and Walker
TO be yet heard from If these latter counties vote
they did in 1914, Mr. Chapman's majority will be 1862
but we look for falling off from the maores of 1884,
which may reduce this majority several hundred votes
to something in the neghborhood OF 1000. The aggre-

In the first district Gov. Gayles majority, according TO
the have received which mostly othcia is
$50. This larger majority than the wings claimed,
and be mainly attributed TO the unwaranabe course
pursued by the wings towards MIR. Taylor in circulating
exaggerated reports throughout the district in reference
to his financial embarrassments which. like many other
honest men, he relieved from by the wing bankrupt

cratic administration the usual political weight OF Ala
bama in the y. s. House of Representatives In this
district Mr. billiard had no opposition not, as is valnly
boosted by the Journal because OF the fears entertained
of the result but mainly because portion OF the dem
ocratic party, in view OF his vote for the tariff of 1896
and against the river and harbor bill, disposed to

prove acceptable to them, and as beneficial to the
third district Mr. Harris the democratic nominee is elected
by majority of 3,36l The wings brought out Mr.
Mudd of Jefferson, late in the canvass who received
some 500. There also an independent" demo-

esteemed for his many generous virtues nge is young
man-the youngest perhaps, OF our delegaton-and was
but little known out of Sumter county, which he had rep

Mr. nge proved himself early in the canvass to be the
equal at least, of Mr. Murphy, as public speaker and

less bold and able in vndicaton of democratic doctrines
From the 9Th and 9th districts there will be returned
