JONES WINSIN ALABAMA.
HIs MAJORITY ANYWHERE FROM
10000 TO 10000.

Hundreds of Negroes Voted the
Straight Democratic Ticket-Not
Over Fifteen Counties Carried By
Kolb-No Serious Disorder at Any
OF the Polling Places
MONTGOMERY, ALA, Aug. lin TO-
days election everything from constable to
governor was to be elected The contest
had been heated for months past between
the Kolb side and the regular democrats =,
represented by Gov. Jones, the present
governor.
JONES UNDOUBTEDLY ELECTED.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. l., P. NJ
The Advertiser has already re ceived exact
returns from various parts Of the state and
SCORES OF kilograms as to the general turn of
the vote, showing that the straight Demo-
cratic ticket headed by Thomas G.. Jones
has been overwhelmingly elected. Nearly
every telegram states that the bulk of the
negroes voted for Gov. Jones. SO far
there is no report of disorder Of any kind
JONES GOOD FOR $4,000.
Later returns carry out the first indioa-
tions. This city gives Gov. Jones 2,S4S
majority and the county will give him at
least 5000. The counties OF Mobile, Call
houn, jefferson, Montgomery, Dade
Dallas, Russell Barbour Bull
lock, Tallsdega. Walker. Lauder
dale, Perry, Lowndes, Wilcox and
Marengo show nearly $4,000 majority
for the democratic ticket. The indications
are that not over fifteen out of the sixty
six counties In the state will give KoIb a
majority and not one of them will
exceed 1000. The legislature will be over
whslmingly straight democratic. The
negroes everywhere refused to follow the
Kolb banner. aud voted In great numbers
open democratic tickets. In many cases
they were actual workers at the polls.
This was especially the case IN this city.
The expectation was that the opposition
vote would be the largest 10 years, but the
results do not show that this expectation
was realized. A conservative estimate
places Gov. Jones' majority at not less than
$4,000.
JONES SWEEPING EVERYTHING.
MOBILE, Ala, Aug, l, l P. M-So far
as known at this hour the election through
ont the state has been a very quiet one,
though great interest was manifested. A
novel feature was that In many places
colored voters turned out and not only
voted. but worked like beavers for Gov.
Jones and the straight democratic
ticket and aided materially In
piling up large majority for
the Democratic party. The Register has
received bulletins from thirty-eight of the
sixty-six counties in the state, which show
handsome ma jorities for Gov. Jones except
Hale county. The indications are that Gov,
JoAss has carried Montgomery (his home)
county by 5000, Bullock by 1900 and Tai
ladsga by 500. In Barbour county Gov.
Jones received out OF every 5 votes polled.
The evidences thus far are that tho
straightout democracy has carried the day.
though there is no doubt that kolb has
carried few of the remote counties.
A DIFFERENT ESTIMATE.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Aug. lin tho
election today this county went for Gov.
Jones by about 1000 majority, probably
little less. Gov. Jones' aggregate majority,
SO far as heard from, is about 30, 900, and
will hardly go above 1000 The indica-
tions are that Kolb's majorities will pull
this down TO something like 20, 900, aud it
may come under this. The negroes divided
