THE 2EnC 9zo n.

The result Of the election throughout the
State cannot be ascertained for sevoraG days
to come but we have learned enouuk to
knew that all of the large towns have given
radical majorities Nashville, Memphis,
Knoxville, Columbia, t1arssyille, Gallatin,
Franklin, Pulaski, and Brownsville gave /
radical maiorities But It must be borne in |
mind that at all those points She loyal
leagues and militin did the work, while IN
the country districts the radical ticket was
not near so successful in proportion to the
votes polled For instance: Memphis gives
1892 majority for Brownlow, while six dis
tricts in the county Of Shelby cast over three
hundred majority for Etheridge The rule,
as a general thing, will hold good through
ont the State, and it would not surprise US
much even at this late hour, to hear that
Etheridge mas holding the Parson tight
race, notwithstanding the telegraphic reports
of yesterday, which informed us that The
radicals claimed the State by $4,000 MAORI
ty. Reports come in very slowly, and the
Memphis papers of to-day are almost barren
of any election news whatever. All the
points heard from so far, at every one of
which troops and leaguers held sway, only
give the radicals about 900 majority, while
the radical papers asserted tie day before
the election, that they would poll in the
city Of Memphis alone, 5000 majority for
Brownlow They also claimed that Chatta-
uoOga would give radical majority of
1000, whereas 800 was the result Radical
calculations have been wonderfully astray,
as will be seen from this, and we have good
reasons for believing that the returns from
country districts will reduce their 5000
asserted majority to very small figure.
We have lost our Congressman, but
gained a county Representative, and are in
strong hopes Of chronicling the fact that
Hugh Kirby has beaten John Aldridge for
State Senator, from the counties Of Hardin
McNairy and Hardeman Hardeman gave
Kirby 237 majority, and it is more than
probable that Hardin will go for him by a
handsome vote, while McNairy will 90
against him His chances are considered
good. Cameron was beaten in this district
Madison probably elects a Conservative to
the Legislature. Jackson went for Ethe
ridge by handsome majority The vote in
Fayette is said to be close, while it is be-
lieYed that Tucker, Conservative, is elected
to the Legislature, as there were two radi
Gals in the field
At jackson, Tenn, fifteen out of thirty
FIVE militia voted for Etheridge Davidson
county gives Brownlow 1000 majority
radical report, and not deemed reliable
Hardeman county, up to this writing, p, m.
is the only county in the district that we
have heard of that gave majority for the
entire Conservative ticket by next Satur
day we hope to furnish our readers will
full and correct report of the cOntes
throughout the entire State. Radicals claim
to have elected eight Congressman, but say
that the Conservatives have elected ffteer
members of the Legislature. This is al
guess work. and is not reliable for the re
port is based upon the number of votes cas-
at certain towns, while the result as regards
the different counties at large is not known
