Ep1roRs CLARION The election re-
tnrns come in slowly ); but it is many
wear since judges and returning officers
have had so tedious job. The vote mere
was not counted until late hour yester-
.day everirg, and as you have received 1t /
BY telegraph it is useless to repeat IT.
Gen. Humphreys, to use a common
phrase is running like SCARED dog for
Governor, Notwithstanding his supposed
inelligiblity, and the systematic efforts 2f Qf
some newspapers to keep him oil the
track. He will carry overwhelmingly all
the inner counties, and in some OF the
interior counties he will get decided ma
iorities. Unless Gen. Patton carries the
mighty east and south east, his chances
ara slim. For Secretary of State, Rev.
H. j. Harris is receiving decided ma
iorities i'm this section as far as heard
| from but he will be strong team II he
beats the late'popular Incumbent Charley
Brougher. Tom Swami will undoubtedly
be elected Auditor; Echols, Treasurer,
and Hooker, Attorney General, the latter
perhaps by fifteen thousand majority. 1t
| is reported that he has even carried
Rankin county. Potter is away ahead
for the High Court as far as heard from.

District Attorney. The returns, sofar, In

The Legislature will meet next Mon
day week, and if any Senators or Repre-
sentatives elected are Ineligible by reason
of not having been pardoned, or for other
, cause, they may as we'll stay at home.
, The example of the convention, it is
thought, will not be followed in the
! Legislature. In the former body quite a
, number of gentlemen participated in the
deliberations who were manifestly not
: entitled to seats upon the floor. They
| were mostly, however, considered, "safe
men" and consequently no official objec-
tions were made.
! The committee appointed by the Con.
vention to revise the statutes of the
l State, have been faithfully at work, and
: when the Legislature meets, they will
t find already digested for their considera-
ton a complete code of laws adapted to
the new labor system. The appointment
of this committee will shorten the ses
f sion of the Legislature at least one
E month";.
