THE ELECTIONS.
quiet Day and No -Candi-
yates Court the Sovereign Voter with
Mighty Grace and Courtesy.

| Election day has come and gone, bring.
ing victory to a few and defeat to many.
The fond anticipationS of an army ofcandi.
dates aud their ardent supporters have
| oeeh blasted for season at least. Every.
thing passed of quietly, and but for the
TACT that it was the eth of November people
would have forgotten that it was election
day, Tor so far as outward appearances
went there was nothing to indicate
that the people were selecting their public
servants, so called. The streets in the fore.
noon were quiet and there was but little
sur, yet, as the day wore on things beaan
TO warm up, and the hard work ut The polls
began, which increased as the day waned.
anu when the polls shut down at 6 y. m,
there was considerable excitement as to
| what the result wOuld be. Never before In
the history of Dallas was there such a Quiet
orderly election az that held Yesterday,
There was q marked lack of that hurrah
that has heretofore characterized our cleo
| ions. The free carriages with flying
StreamefS, bearing the name Of the candl-
uateS were not near so numerous. The
voters went quietly to the polls, cast their
ballots and went quietly about their bust
ness. There was no drunkenness or bOis.
ferrous conduct, noteyen u ii~-cuH, vet, at
the same time there was among the
workers deal of "argufying,h as
an Old c0Iored voter expressed it,.
Inc republicans did not vote solid by any
means with the grecnbaCkers for the indie
pendent ticket, but went to suit themselves
regardless OF the politics of the party for
whom they voted. Especially was this the
case SO far as county otlic rs were con.
Gerned; Some of them actually voted for
lrelahui the democratic nominee for gov
ernor, and Tor others on the state demo-
cratic ticket. Many of them feel rs
though the greenbackers were trying
to use them, and they rebelled, and, ms
already stated, there were those who sun
ported the state democratic ticket by way
OF retaliation. OF course the majority of
lhe party voted the lndependent ticket
! Ihere was not full vote polled, not as full
perhaps as there was two years ago. The
total vote Of the city and county is about
/ 6,soO Of which the city polls about >, 400, or
IN that neighborhood, A definite count
Will not be had for two or three
days, rs it will take some
time to cast up the result, vet pretty fair
idea can oe mad of who were the yictors bv
today, yet ut this writing matters are yerv
much mixed, The democrats have carried
the county by a majority of from four to
live thousand votes 1t is the prevailing
opinion that the following candidates for
