MoBnr. ALA. Angus, Yoon.--The
general election in this State Is passing 80
far without incident. the contest being be-
tween the Democrats and Democrstic
boilers. with the Republicans aiding she
bolters wherever possible. There Is con-
siderable feeling. particularly in closo
counties. A great deal OF scratching is
going on, and there will be long and
tedious count. In Mobile and Mobile
county the vote is large this forenoon, and
the Republicans are doing all they can to
elect the koib State ticket and the Intie-
pendent county ticket. The negroes arc
not all voting one way, however, aud
many are outspoken for the regular Demo.
cratic ticket.
THE ELECTION ouncr.
So far as known ct this hour GO =. NJ
the election throughout the State has been
o very quiet one. though great interest was
manifested. A novel feature was that in
many places the colored voters turned out
and not only voted. but worked hxs
beavers for Jones and the straight Demo-
cratic ticket, and aided materially in Diling
up large majorities for the Democratic
party.
HAMpsony JONES MsJoRrrrEs.
The Register has received bulletins from
thirty EIGHT OF the sixty-six counties in
the State, all of which show handsome
majorities for Jones. except Hale county.
The indisations are that Jones has carried
Montgomery Chs homel county by 500
majority, Bullock by 2.000, and ralladega
by 500. In Barbour county Jones received
four out of every Ave votes polled.
DEMOCRACY cARsrEs THE DAY.
The evidences thus tar are that the
straight-out Democracy has carried the
day, though there IL no doubt that kolb
has carried q few Of the remote counties.
STRAIGHT DEMOCRATS SUCCESSFUL
MONTGOMERY. Ala. August 1.-The Ad-
rertiser has already received exact returns
from various parts Of the State and scores
of kilograms as the general turn Of the
vote. showing that the straight Demo-
cratic ticket, headed by Thomas q. Jones
has been overwhelmingly elected. Nearly
every telegram states that the bulk OF the
negroes voted for Jones. SO far there 10
no report of disorder of any kind.
THE GOOD NEWS CONFIRMED.
Later returns carry out the first indica-
tions. This city gives Governor Jones
2,s43 majority and the county will give
him at loost 5000. The counties Of Mobile.
Calhoun, jefferson. Montgomery, Dale,
Dallas. Russell. Barbour, sumter, Bull
| lock. Talladega, walker, Lauderdaie.
Perry, Lowndes. Wilcox, and Marengo
show nearly $1,000 majority for the Demo-
cratic ticket. The indications are that not
over IS out of the 66 counties Ia the State
will give Kolb majority, and not one OF
these will exceed 1000.
| THE LEGISLATURE oyERwHELmSGLYs STRAIGHT
The Legislature will be Overwhelmingly
straight Democratic. The negroes every
where refused to follow the kolb banner.
aud voted in great numbers open Demo-
| cratic tickets. In many cases they were
| actual workers at the polls. Ehis was
especially the case in this city. The er-
pectation was that the opposition vote
would be the largest in years. but the re-
| suits do not show that this expectation
was realized.
JosEs's MAJORITY $4,000.
A conservative estimate places Governor
Jones's majority at not less than $1,000.
THE ELECTION GENERAL.
In to-day's election everything from
| constable to Governor was chosen. Ine
contest has been heated for some months
past between the kolb side and the regu-
| lar Democratic ticket represented by
Jones, the present Governor.
