Editors Journal:
1 hasten to correct the rostscript in
my note of yesterday.
All the indications then pointed to
the result / gave. But the tide turned
against us; aud while the probabili-
ties are that we elected the Jailor,
Coroner, Surveyor and Assessor. yet
the Democrats elected Sheriff, Coun-
ty Clerk and County Attorney. There
were nearly 1900 votes cast, and the
race is SO close between A. Fl. Clark,
Republican, for County Judge, and
James 0 Ellis. his Democratic oppo-
nent. that only the official count can
determine which is elected.
The increase in the vote cast was
100 or 1900 At the Hopkinsviile
Precinct therc were at least $50 votes
that could not be polled by the OH
GERS of Election. Most Of these were
Republicans. LII the full vote had
been taken here, cur tic ket would
have been tTiumphantly elected.
We elected Jo- |. Landes, City
Judge, and A. w. COPELAND Justice
of the Peace, both Republicans and
both gains.
Chief Justics Williams, for Appel
late Judge, only received 294 votes.
nearly all of them from third party
men. He seems to have run here a
strict party race, and got all he was
entitled to. This is as [ predicted,
some time since. EDELwEIS.
