ELECTION HETUHNSs
TnE ELEcTIos.-The election is over, the
great battle has been fought in Tennessee,
and the victory won-by whom we are not
prepared at present to say, although we may
venture the belief that the Commonwealth is
safe. In some portions of the State the
contest has been warm, the excitement in
tense-more so than in any canvass that has
occurred since 1910. In this section, how
ever, up to within the last two weeks but
little interest was manifested--since which
time the progressives have been at work like
beavers, putting ,orong man right, tighten
ing the party rein, setting stake here, and
driving peg there, and coaxing and cursing
