FLORIDA'S BALLOT BATTLE
The Democrats Victorious Nearly
Everywhere.


the Capital-A List Of the Members
Of the Senate and House.
Jacksonville, Oct. 3.-As already indi-
dicated by dispatches TO the MORNING
News. the democrats swept nearly every
county in Florida in yesterdays election.
In only a very few counties did the popu-
lists make much of a showing.
In Baker county, tho populists made a
strong showing, and the result between
Cole dem. and HerndOn (pOp.) for the
legislature is IN doubt.
In Calhoun the populists developed con-
siderable strength, but the indications
are that the democrats have elected Pr
rong to the lower house.
In Osceola, owing TO dissentions among
the democrats. Mosely, popuIist, polled an
UNEXPECTEDLY large vote and it is possible
that he has defeated Oliver, democrat.
In Sumter the result is in doubt be-
tween Nelson, democrat, and Wicker,
populist, on the legislative ticket. The
popuhsts also developed considerable
strength on the county ticket, and it
seems probable that their nominees have
been chosen.
In Washington county, Wells was the
democratic nominee for the legislature,
but it will require the official count to de-
eide whether he has defeated his populist
opponent,
In spite Of these close counties, how
ever, the lower house Of the legislature
will be Overwhelmingly democratic. The
greatest interest, however, in the election
-v in
sau. Tolusa and Lake counties In Duval
county. on the face Of the returns, fletcher
has been defeated by Hartridge by a bare
majority for the Senate. Dancy and
Pllmmer, the anti" nominees for tire
House of Representatives, also have an
apparent majority.
In Nassau county the ticket headed by
Thompson for the Senate seems 70 have
won. although the race will be very
close and il will require the official count
70 decide whether the Kelly ticket has
been beaten or not.
In TolusIa county the returns indicate
that the ticket headed By Charles Cough
erty. for senator. has been elected.
Probably, however, the greatest inter
est Centered IN Lake county, where Alex.
St Clara brams was the candidate Of
the people against the corporations. The
returns from Lake indicate that Mai.
Abrams made a gallant fight for the
rights Of the people, but was defeated BY
the INSCRIPTIONS use Of money by the
railroad corporations and by the intimi-
dation Of voters Mai Abrams comedies
that he has Oeen defeated by McLin by a
n sloTity Of about 100 but dispatches to
the Times-Uniou indicate that McLin's
majority will be 10 excess Of the estimate
made By Ma. Abrams.
Dispatches from Orange and OsceOla
counties show that Ma. Marks, who re
signed upon a challenge from Mai
Abrams, has been reelected over his pop
uiist opponent, Mcclure, by a large ma
iority. In Monroe and Lee counties there
were three candidates for the Senate,
Phipps and Pendleton, on Key West, and
Luckey, OF Lee county. Phipps was the
regular democratic nominee, and the re
turns indicate that he has won over Pen
dleton and Luckey by small majority.
