| CLAY COUNTY.
! BRAZIL. Nov 2.-The voting here to-day was
lively comparing favorably with presidential
campaign year. The greatest interest in the
/ campaign was in Congressman. Lamb was Bit
terly opposed throughout the campaign, and at
the polls, by prominent Democrats who objected
to the man and his record and who had grounds
for being hurt over appointments in which Lamb
remembered a coterie of personal friends at
Terre Haute, in discrimination against the rest
of the district. The postofice war here also
cost Lamb votes AS result Lamb will fall be-
low his ticket in Clay county and his ticket will
show hard enough usage from indications. The
Prohbitionists and the Greenback Nationalist
were also in the field with full county tickets
each, and gathered in their moiety of votes. In
dications point to strong Republican gains on the
county ticket, with possibility on one or more
of the offices.
