Develops u Remarkably Small
Vote and But Little Interest
Hon. Casey Young Re-
elected 70 Congress.

known, n vote being remarkably
light. Below we give the official vote
so far as returns have been made to
the sheriff. Despite the light vote,
the returns came in slowly, this being
due to the long list of candidates. So
far as we can judge from the returns,
Hon. Casey Young Dem. has been re
elected to Congress by a handsome ma
iority over Col. A. j. Kellar and Col.
Randolph. 1t is difficult as yet to say
who is elected to the Legislature, as
the full returns from this county and
the rest of the foaterial and senatorial
district have not been reported. The
following is the official returns Of the
vote cast in the wards, city of Mem
phis, and districts in Shelby county,
