clerk Of the county court, and Il. VI
Howard clerk of the circuit court for
Southampton county. There was no oppo-
sition to either of the above-named sen
tlemen. Every district in the county had
two sets of candidates for the district
Offices. In some districts the Peoples
party ran a ticket in opposition to the
Democrats: in others the Republicans. In
every instance the Peoples party were
overwhelmingly defeated. In the New

very probably elected their ticket.

the part of the negroes most Of whom
stayed al home. Those voting at all
voted the straight Democratic ticket.
