THE FULL TICKET.
Tarrant County Elects All the Demo-
cratic Nominees.
Tbs Result OF Tuesdays Election as Far q
Can Be Learned from the Returns
Now In.


1t was an easy victory
The Democratic nominees in Tarrant county
have all been elected by ma orities in excess OF
what expected.
But the vote polled was light.
Up to last night twenty seven polling places In
the county had been heard from. These showed
a total vole polled OF 1854. Figuring on FORMER
polls in the precincts not heard from, II can ne
safely estimated that the vote in the county VIII
not go above 1900, which is about zOVV snort OF
full vote.
James S Hogg for governor runs ahead OF the
commission amendment. Hogg Will nave q
majority OF about 800 in Tarrant county, while
the commission amendment carries ny about 400
short of that majority. The road law amend
Inent Will have about 300 less majority than the
commission amend ent.
OF the state ticket McGaughey and Culberson
are in the lead. They are personally known,
and captured the country precincts on that ac
count where other Democratic nominees were
scratched by their Republican opponents. But
their lead is small.
OF the county ticket Messrs. Pool for superin-
tendent of public instruction and Gillespie for
county attorney carried the largest vote They
practically had no opposition, and the votes
cast against them will not aggregate lOo.
The opposition votes were scattering
Judge l.. n. Cooper, who was nomi-
mated for county attorney by the Republicans,
but declined To make the race, was given a
complimentary vote. But the fTeakishness OF
sufEaging hum snity was shown by ten votes
Mrs. Mary Clardy for county attorney; ,,
John King came right up near Pool and Gill
lespie in the size of his majority.
Capt. j. C. Richardson, for sheriff. came
home with majorioy that will run over 1000
when the full vote is counted. bitter
fight WAS made on Mr.. Richardson
bv an energetic candidate of great
personal 7ttraction, ana Mr.. Richardson was
prevented bg the pressing duties of his ofice
which he would not neglect, from going into the
csmpaiGH in his own behalf. But the hand
come majority by which he is returned evidences
the public appreciation OF the efficient services
which he has rendered during his irst term.
The Swayne- Hurley Parker contest for the
state legislature was perhaps the mist interest
ing OF all. Early in the compaign when
signs of activity in the camp OF
the Bjrdville statesman were observed,
IL became apparent to Mr.. SwRyne that his Re-
publican opposition would make use OF Parker
ss q tool with which TO draw OF the Democratic
vote in the country, weakening Swayne S
strength and making the road smooth
for Hurley, the Republican candidate,
to ride into Office the city vote.
But Mr.. Swayne, though not seeing at first
what the plan OF the opposition might be, was
alert to danger and he set about counteractlng
the movement. The result shows that the fear
was needless; that Mr.. Swayne's personal popu-
lsrity and the strength of the principles he rep
resented were sufficient
In the twenty seven precincts heard from Mr.
Swayne got vote of 2747. Hurley got go, and
Parker got So; The probability is that full re-
turns will show majority for MIR. Swayne of
between 5000 and $500 over each of his COMPETE
tors. Mr.. Swayne also received few votes for
congress. d
1t is expected that all the boxes will have been
heard from by to-day. So
