GALVESTON.
GALVESTON, Tex, Nov 5-The returns
are yet incomplete. Counting is still in
progress in the Fifth ward and returns not
received from three precincts. From re-
turns received thus far the vote fol
governor is as follows: Hogg 1901, Flanagan
1928; majority for Hogg 1875. All amend
ments carried by handsome majority
For congress, Seventh district, Grain re-
ceived 1896 votes, Spohn, Republican, 1416;
Grains majority 21S0. Fordistrict attorney,
! Gavin 1916, Gillespie 1904; Cavin's majority
1922. Patrick Herman is sheriff, Capt. Nick
Weeks, county tax collector, Jas. s. Waters,
county treasurer, Alexander Easton, dis
trict clerk, A. Wakelee, county clerk, Fred
;; McNichols, county assessor. The race for
county judge between j. d. Braman and
. w. b. Lockhart, is extremely close and both
are claiming it. David M. Jack is nndoubt-
eddy elected county attorney, and A. Noxie,
county surveyor. 1t is generally conceded
here that J. X. p. Gillespie, with his large
majority in Harris county, coupled with
his vote here, has defeated Gavin for the
office OF district attorney.

SAN ANTONIO.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. 5..-Further re-
turns from the Seventh, Grains congress
sional district, give different complexion
to the result there. La Sale, Encinal and
Maverick counties reported such majorities
against Grain, Democrat, last night that
the impression prevailed here that SpohD,
Republican, had carried the district Cam
eron, however, gave round 1000 majority
for Grain, which added to the majority his
friends claim for him. Galveston
county will give him a majority which
the smaller counties in the district will
be unable to overcome, even though they 20
into the Spohn columns. Spohn, heavily
backed by the money of the National Re-
publican Congressional committee, made a
tt orough personal canvass of the district
and was defeated squarely on the tariff
issue, which was the only question that fig
ured in the contest. The tariff sentiment
of Texas was perhaps never better tested
than in the fight which resulted in favor of
Congressman Grain with an increased ma
jority.
