beaten for the Legislature in their districts,
though both were for Senter, who carried
both districts.
Stokes majority in the city is 8; Sen.
tets in the county 1900; Scnter's in
Knoxville 300; in the county 800. The
returns show that Scntcr has carried all
of Middle and Western Tennessee by a
sweeping majority. The Conservative leg
iSlative tickets are elected in all the districts
carried by Sentcr. Probably the Conscr-
vatives will have a majority in both branch
CS.
Specials from various parts of Tennessee
show that much heavier vote was cast
than at the Presidential election. No Sc
rious disturbances are thus far reported.
The legislature, it is probable, will be
strongly Democratic.

cial repeats the story that if Stokes is de-
tcatcd he will proceed to Nashville. seize
the State Capitol and proclaim himself
Governor without contcsting the election

Scntcr will call out the militia to resist this
proceeding, when an armed collision en-
sues. whcreupon Stokes expects the Gen.

threatened in his public speeches to force
Government interference. This is the
manner in which he expects to bringit
about.

Alabama Election.
MONTGOMERY, Aug. 4.-The election
news is meagrc. The vote is less than
last year. The probabilities favor. tho
election of Parkins (Dem) in the third
District by a handsome majority. The
contest in the Second District is much
closer than was expected. Fears are en-
tertained that Ruckley (Rcp) is defeated
on account of the great falling off Of the
negro votes.
MOBILE. Aug. 4.-Munn (Dcm.) is
probably elected to Congress by 1900
majority. A negro mob took possession Of
the polls in Baldwin county, and beat one
white man and prevented many Democratic
