JACKSONVILLE, FLA, October 4-The vote Of
the State is hardly rs heavy ~ was expected.
This is accounted for by tho fact that tho poll
tax prerequisite kept down the aggregate Of
qualification M all parties. Up toN o'clock lull
returns had not been received from any one Of
the forty-nve countless but precinct votes furnish
a very good basis for calculation.
Mitchell DemOcraD has carried the State by
al least 10000 majority, though his vote Will
hardly reach 10000, which Is less than the vote
pOiled for Fleming (DomOcraO In 1883. Baskln
Vooples party can't by any possibility show up
more than 5000 votes, which Is $4,000 less
than tho Republican vote tour years ago, and
while the Republicans, whore they voted AZ all,
generally supported the Peoples party ticket,
the negroes, strange TO say, divided their
votes between Mitchell and Baskin. Reports
from about twentY-hve Of the counties declare
that more negroes voted the Democratic ticket
than the Peoples ticket this too, without 80
hCltatiOn Of any Kind except in close contests on
county delegates.
George ". Wilson, Of the Democratic State
Committee, says that Liz information warrants
tho assertion that Mitchell has majority Of
10000. I bis is an increase OF about 10000
over Fleming's majority in 1855. IN this county
Duval, where there were two Democratic
county tickets III the field owing to division IN
the party, there were less than 100 votes chst
for the People's-party ticket, the Democrats
being a unit on the State ticket Marion
county, which has been a perfect h0t-bed Of the
Peoples party, will show up with Handsome ma
tority fOr Mitchell and the fun ticket.
Al Tampa, the home OF Judge Mitchell, the
vote was practically unanimous for h1n-Rc-
publiCans, Third-party!tes, and negroes all join
