POLITICAL.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Aug. A.
All reports show an immensee dem-
cratic vote. There was no regular
ly organized opposition in threes
fourths Of the counties and the
democrats contesting for county
officers with each other brought out
all the voters. The democratic state
ticket received the benefit Of this
great local struggle and will have
majority of over 10000. The
greenback-independent party were
thoroughly organized in but one
portion of the state, and that was IN
the counties composing the district
now represented by Representative
Lowe, a greenbacker. Madison,
Limestone and Morgan, which gave
him majorities two years ago, gave
handsome democratic majorities this
year, and the greenback state and
county tickets will be defeated in
every county of the district. The
democrats will elect all their judges
and chancellors, and nearly all their
legislators and county officers.
