| MEMPHIS. Aug. G.-The election to-day
| was unusually quiet. 1he interest mani
tested in the election by the merchants was
never witnessed before. Nearly all the
stores were closed and the proprietOrs and
clerks at the polls working for the Con-
sentative ticket, and notwithstanding the
| lines between the black and white races
were strongly drawn, more colOred men
voted the Conservative ticket than ever be-
fore. 1t is generally conceded that the
| Conservatives have swept the county and
elected the entire ticket by 1900 to 1900.
The official vote will not be known before
| tomorrow.

excitement over the result of the election
to-day. The ApDedl and Audldncte offices
are illuminated, guns fired and great dis

by over 1000, and that the majority in the
