STATE ELECTION RETURNS.
DEMOCRATIC GAINS ALL OVER
ARKANSAS.
The New Election Law Gave Perfect
Satisfaction-- Democratic Ma
joritiy Larger than Ever.

election, they show big gains for the
Democracy in great many counties,
and the majority for the entire State
ticket will be larger than in years
past-may reach 10000.
The new secret ballot law gave per-
feet satisfaction everywhere.
The Republicans and their 2. p.
''aiders" failed utterly in their attempt
to capture Arkansas. We give below
few of the Arkansas Gazette's tele-
graphic specials. Preceding them that
paper says: at is simply a question
of maiorities. The State has gone
Democratic overwhelmingly. Nearly
all the Republican strongholds have
been captured, while the Democrats
have either held their own or made
gains elsewhere. The plurality for
Fishback and the State ticket will be
very large. Fishback's majority will
be greater than that received by any
candidate for Governor for many
years. There seems to be no doubt
that Amendment No. 2 has received
constitutional majority, as it appears
to have, in the main, kept pace with
the State ticket"
ARKADELPHIA, ARK, September 6.
Most of the returns from the back
townships are in, especially those
claimed by the Peoples party. The
remaining townships will give Demo-
cratic majorities, and from the official
returns it may be relied upon that the
Democracy will carry the State and
county tickets by a majority of from
200 to 800
The + Ps. look sick and have given
up all hopes. They hugged the mig
ger" close to their bosoms yesterday,
but their little game Of deceit would
not work worth cent.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, Sept. 6.--The
best and most conservative estimates
give the Democratic county and State
ticket in Pulaski county safe majority
of from 1900 to 1900. 1t turns out
that the negroes either staid away
from the polls in the country, asham-
cd to expose their ignorance, or were
Indifferent as to the result of the cleo
ton, there being no drinks, cigars or
money to induce them to vote.
Fort SMITH, ARK, September g.
The returns from the county precincts
are coming in slowly. Enongh has
been learned however, to know that
the entire Democratic State and coun-
ty tickets have received majorities
ranging from 1900 to 1000. In the
Fort Smith district Fishback's plural
ity is 700. Carnahan, the Peoples
party candidate, only received 1875
votes out of total Of 1000. The
county ticket made clean sweep, the
majorities ranging from 450 to S00
WASHINGTON, ARK, September s.
The following is the official vote of
Hampstead county, as for as reported:
Fishback, 1870; Whipple, 1913; Carna-
han, 147; Nelson, II. For Amendment
No. 2, 769; against, 800. Twelve pre-
cincts have reported, with six yet to
hear from. II is safe to say the Dem
ocratic majority win be from 400 to
500 for both State and county officers.
CAMDEN, ARK, Sept 6.-The off,
cial returns put the majority for the
Democratic State ticket, for license
and Amendment No. 2 at 600. No

county. The new election law gave

HELENA, ARK, Sept. 6.---lror the
first time since reconstruction days
Philips county has gone Democratic.
The returns are slow in coming from
remote districts, but enough is known
to make il absolutely sure that the
State Democratic ticket Is elected by
a respectable majority.
ARKANSAS CRY, Sept. 6.--Unofll-
cial returns from nine out of tho elev-
en- townships in this county indicate
that Fishback and the entire Demo-
cratic State ticket have carried the
county by about 800 majority. In
1890 Eizer carried the county by
about 1000 majority. The entire
