almost impossible, owing to incomplete
returns from many counties, especially
in east Tennessee, TO give figures. In
middle Tennessee the Fusionists have
cut no great figure, except in county
contests. In some places the Demo-
cratic majority is reduced, but these few
losses are made up in other directions.
Tho Republicans have not made the
gains or poiled the heavy vote antiei-
pated in the Eastern division, according
to the official and unofficial returns.
The counties that have given the Demo-
cratic supreme court ticket majorities
total SO 400. Tho Republican counties
give maiorities amounting to 4,951.
Meagre reports are still coming in
from middle Tennessee, but news from
east Tennessee is almost impossible TO
get. The Democrats are satisfied they
have elected their judicial ticket by a
safe majority.
In the Democratic counties given
Turney's majority over the opposition
two years ago was 23,4s5 This shows a
Democratic gain of over 10000 in
majorities.
