Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1878-11-06

IN some measure IOr the l&nt Notes
After the count was completed, small
crowds gathered at the several head
quarters to get the returns, but at no
place was there any demonstration or
Manifestations of enthusiasm and not
a shout was heard upon the night.
Taken all together it was the tamest
and quietest election ever witnessed in
Knoxville.
We give the vote as far as heard
from in tabulated form, but at the late
hour Of receiving returns are unable
this morning to give footings. There
are nine districts in Knox
county yet to hear from. Judge
Houk's election to Congress is conce-
ded on all hands. but owing to the
light vote everywhere it is impossible
to say by what majority. AS between
he and Watkins in this county it will
be very close, perhaps not 30 votes
difference.
Mr.. Ledgerwood comedies the cleo
ton of his competitor, R. c. Samsel,
Republican candidate for the Senate,
and enough is known to insure the
election of R. \. Baker, Republican,
for FIoater over ]. l.. Offutt and w.
| Keebler, Democrat and Greenbacker.
/ AS to the race for Representative, be-
tween NJ. D. Bearden, Republican,
and &. W. Mabry, Democrat, it is
! close and the result can not be deter
mined at this writing.
The following specials to the
CHRONICLE will represent the state Of
