JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Oct. 5.-Complsted
county returns come in very slowly, and
there is nothing in them to warrant a
change in last nights figures. Mitchell has
beaten Baskin by a majority that will
hardly fall short of 23,500 and may reach
rs, 600. This estimate is made from figures
by the best informed politicians at the
county seats. who have received partial re-
turns and know from information in hand
what the aggregate ruajorites of their
counties will be. Out Of the precincts
heard from not a dozen gave Baskin a
majority, and in none Of those that did was
it more than hfty votes.
WHOLE COUNTIES SWEPT.
On the other hand whole counties went as
unit for Mitchell and the state democratic
ticket, which ran even with him in
most all the counties where ne has not init
mate associations. In those where he is
well known the republicans, esteeminR him
as a man, cast their ballots for him. Bas-
Ein's vote cannot possibly 60 above 5000

JEFFERsoN's FINE RECORD.
A special from Monticello, Jefferson
| county, the home of Senator Pasco, saws:
This county polled a solid vote yesterday
for the full ticket, state and county, of the
Democratic party. There was not a solitary
vote thrown for the Peoples party candi-
I of for NkA IL -
democratic nominees. This is unprecedented
in Florida politics since the war;
Reports from AZ out of the 45 counties
show that their senators and represen-
tatives will all be democrats. In the re-
naming counties Liberty, Holmes and
Walton) the vote is close, but the indca-
tions are that these will also send democrats
to the legislature.

$50 Business men are glad the fight is onded
1t was theihottest state election ever known.
Baker county is the only one for Baskin.
There he gets IL majority over Mitchell.
The ants are gathering information for a
contest, but it is doubtful If thew
will carry out their threat, as the posi-
bility of a decision would involve every
county and state officer. Such a course
would be undemocratic and playing in the
hands OF the third party, who are kicking
about the balot-box law. 1t would be a
precedent eminently to be desired by A. s.
Mann, the third party candidate for con-
gress against C. M. Cooper.
