mixed here. A mixed county ticket will

II. Govalle precinct gives Jones 10l; Ire
land, 81; Davis, So; Hancock, 81. Jones
will probably carry this county by 800
majority The race between Hancock and
Davis will be very close in the county, and
news from San Antonio, Uvalde and other
points indicate a very close race throughout
the district. Three independents are GER
tainly elected OH the county ticket.

AUSTIN, Nov. . S.-[Speclal. Returns
from all but thirteen precincts in the
county give Jones 1884 majority Hancock,
1888. Terrell is elected to the senate by COO
majority. The democrats claim the dis
trict for Hancock by 5000 to 1000, while
the republicans are confident OF Davis
election by l 200. Williamson county, so
far as heard from, gives Hancock about 800
majority. Ireland runs behind the ticket
everywhere.
Waco.
WACO, Nov. ESPECIAL Returns from
the county are by no means complete. As
far as heard from, Ireland is about 500 votes
ahead of Jones, and boxes yet to be heard
from will swell his majority to perhaps 700.
This is a democratic loss of 400, compared
with Governor Roberts majority two years
ago. General J. b. Robertson will
receive not more than 100 votes in
the county. Thu regular democratic
county ticket, no doubt is elected, with the
exception OF hide inspector. Hon. r. Q.
Mills majority for congress in the county
will be about 1000, Returns from the
state election eagerly looked for. The vote
along the lines of railroad leading to this
city show that Hon. Wash Jones runs
ahead of his ticket and Ireland is scratched
more or less everywhere. The impression
prevails among Jones' friends that unless
north Texas rallies to Ireland Jones may
come out victorious, or at least reduce the
democratic majority in the state to a very
low figure. The democrats are anxious for
to.night's news and all the excitement here
seems to be after the election.
WACO, Nov. ~7.-[Special. 1.-The election
in the city passed off quietly and without
excitement or incident. But little over
half of the full vote was polled. 1t is i'm.
possible to obtain the result tonight. Rob-
ertson's vote for governor is small, and
Jones runs ahead of his ticket. Mills, for
gets a full democratic vote. The
vote in the county is probably light on ac-
count of the fine weather favorable to cot
ton picking. Only one country box heard
from, which gives Ireland a plurality of
only 6 votes. The whole democratic county
ticket is no doubt elected, with the excep-
tion of one or two minor offices.
Rev. James Mackey, recently OF Corsi-
cana. succeeds Rev. Mr.. Shaw as pastor of
the Methodist church of this city.
