Meagre Returns, But Indications That Democratic Judges are
 Elected.

The Arkansas Gazette of this morning, the 3d, gives partial returns from twenty-five of the seventy-iive counties in the State, giving increased Democratic maiorities in most of them A small vote reported every where. Indications are that Hughes, Hemmingway and Sandels, the Dem ocratic candidates for Supreme Judges, are elected by safe major ities.
 In this, Nevada county, the indi- cations are that the race is close. At this voting precinct the vote stood: Hughes, 1888; Hemingway, l93; i; Sandels, l95; Gregg, 260; Mitchell, 276; Hill, 26l; majorites: Gregg, 72; Mitchel, S3; Hill, 66.

Republican Intimidation---Fraud.

Much has been said and written about Republicans having been ln- timidated in the late State election. Incontrovertble proof has been made before the House committee on elections in contested election cases, before the Arkansas legislature, showing that Democratic negroes were grossly intimidated in Arkansas, and other counties. The Little Rock papers have had nothing to say about this. that we have seen. Here is what k. F.. Porter, reliable cor respondent of the St. Louis Repub- lie. says about how Democrats were abused in Arkansas county:
 By the testimony of J. W. Jones clerk of the election at Mud Lake i; George F.. Crutchfeld, a citizen of old River Township; $. NJ. Allen, an aged physician and farmer; l.. (. Smith. W. D. Walker, a farmer, and John Fitzpatrick, a colored man, It was undoubtedly shown that there were armed negroes picketing all the roads leading to the polls in those country precincts, Democrats were turned back at the muzZle of the rifle and shotgun. and Wheeler negroes from adjoining counties were marched in solid phalanX to the polls to vote, and vote they did, The contestant was in the room and himself helped to count the votes. He was seen with his hand in the baIlot-box up to the elbow. and the final count showed vastly more votes than the population warranted. At Mud Lake and Old River the polls were guarded day and night by hordes of armed and turbulent negroes, and the counts were made and attested under the eve of the shotgun and Winchester rifle. l.. W. Clement, one of the election clerks at Old River, swear ing that he was influenced by fear and intimidation to sign the poll book and certificate though he knew they were wrong. From the testi- mony of both colored and white witnesses it was shown that the judges and witnesses heard remarks about the fight and killing which the night would bring forth. Prior to the election D. $. Cannon, the Wheel candidate, was heard to say to the Democrats: "Go slow, or blood will flow from the hill-tops to the valley s." John Fitzpatrick, the colored man just referred to, was afterwards taken out and beaten un- mercifullv by colored men, in the open day, and all because he would vote the Democratic ticket Fragrant frauds were committed in Prairie, Old River and Mud Lake precincts, shotguns and Winchesters being the colored Wheelers strongest spokes.
 So, then, Republican fraud, intim- idation, murder, and almost every other crime known, is not in the dis tant past, after all. Oh, no! But everywhere, when the light is turned on, whether in various counties of Arkansas, in New York, or Indiana, the corruption and crimes of this rotton party is revealed.
 Now, let the dirty-mouthed little politicians, the foul Republican press, and sympathizers with the same, forever shut their mouths as to alleged Democratic frauds in Arkan' sas and elsewhere.
