State continue to increase the plurality
for the democratic electoral ticket. 1t
is quite certain this will exceed forty
and may reach fifty thousand. The
congressional delegation will be solidly
democratic. The republicans went all
TO pieces and developed no effective
strength in any portion of the State.

their last fight has been made, and that
the organization, or what is left of it,
will go 10 pieces. Malone came in for
Il full share Of abuse for his course in
thi' CAMPAIGN. The vote yesterday for
the Weaver ticket will not, it is be-
lieved. reach 5000. Their greatest
strength was in the fourth and fifth
districts, where so many negroes and
some white republicans probably sup
ported it. The leaders of the third
party cannot conceal their chagrin at
the sorry figure the movement cut in
this State. The prohibition vote in the
State will probably reach 1000.
