THE ELECTION.

The Returns Coming ina Close Race for
County Attorney, Treasurer, Etc The
Wards of the City and Several Precincts
in the County Yet to Hear From.
The excitement over the election is be-
ginning to subside and saving the candi-
dates for county attorney, treasurer, and
;.astice of the peace of precinct No. ], in
which Kendall and Braswell are the con-
testSnts for second .jnstice, Ed
wards having been elected by good
Bower is very close, though it is the pFs-'
yailing opinion that Clint will go in by
small majority. The race Nor treasurer is
badly mixed, and lies, between Boil and
Downs. 1t will be a hard race.
The democratic state ticket has not polled
as large vote as heretofore, and Ireland
will run behind the ticket some 500 votes.
The wards in the city, the fair grounds
and several precincts in the
county are yet to be heard from, yet
with the exception of the Offices mentioned
above as being hard contested it is gener
ally known who are the successful candi-
dates. The counting of the vote in the
wards will be finished to-day and in to-
morrow's issue of the HERALD will give the
full vote SO far as can be obtained.
The clerks of the election say that they
never saw so much scratching of tickets.
Republicans voted for democrats, and dem-
ocrats for independents, and greenbackers
for democrats. Elsewhere is given tabu-

cratic ticket throughout the country as
due, in a measure, TO local causes, but that
the main cause was that the
