THE COUNTY.
The Democratic Ticket Considered Safe
to Man.
The Process Of Counting Was SInw-Return'
from Many TTecIncts-A Light Vote
POiled All Around.

The Democratic candidates are elected
to d man in Tarrant.

good basis, that the lowest majority on
the ticket will not be less than 1000.

city, but more particularly in the city,
where but little interest was man. Tested
in the election. Considerable activity

polls, however, and the friends OF the
candidates worked hard for their men.

ton was the variety of tickets on the
ground. There were the straight Dem
orrntiu and the straight Republican tick
cts, the mixed Democratic and the DEM
ocrntIc mixed tiuktes, not 10 mention the
independent and The numerous variations
on the Republican article.
The strong effort made by the opposi-
ton to Democracy was TO defeat Captain
Richurdson for sheriff and james
w. Swayne for representative. Tickets
designed 10 sid these purposes were
handed to The unwnry, bnt owing to the
alertness of the Democrats. the voters
scrutinized their tickets closely, and the
results show that the efforts OF the oppo-
sitiou were unavailing.

The returns were hard to get. owing to
