The Times Tallahassee special says:
1t should be noted that oil the ihickly
populated counties, like Duval, Leon,
Madison, jefferson and others, where

from sparsely settled, half-civilized and
lawless southern counties. The Demo-
Gratis are much chagrined to find that,
after their frauds, they are beaten on the
face of the returns; butthey will feel worse
when the board commences to go behind
the returns and show how the election was
conducted in several Democratic counties.
