FURTHER FROM THE ALABAMA ELECTION
ONLY THIRTY THOUSAND DEMOCRATIC MA
| JoRITY.
Selma, August GA special to the Times,
received last night, from about fifty counties
of the state, shows the election Of O'Neil and
all the democratic state ticket by large ma
ority, though much reduced from that of
1880. The election was very quiet and light
vote was polled everywhere in the black belt.
The republicans were not organized, and
many negroes voted the democratic ticket.
In the northern part of the state, the republi-
can and independent greenback ticket was
successful in many counties. In a number of
counties the democrats have been successful
by only narrow majority, and in others the
official count will be necessary to decide the
result. The probabilities are that the demo-
cratic ticket will not have more than 10000
majority and that there will be at least twenty
| independents in the assembly.
