OFFICIAL COUNT
is IN FAVOR OF EVANS,
While Turney's Friends Claim That
He VIII Get 1T.

A Nashville special says: Secretary
of State Morgan has just received the
poll lists and tally sheets from Roane
county, thus completing the returns,
and has made public the official vote
for governor.
The figures give Evans (republican)
1O5, ,104, Turney (dcmocraD 104, 1856,
and Minis (populist) 23,002. Evans
plurality is therefore 94S.
The canvassing board is proceeding
to canvass the vote for asscmblymen.
There will doubtless be contest for
the governorship before the Legislature.
Both sides are claiming fraud and col
lecting evidence.
DEMOCRATS SAY TURNEY IS ELECTED.
Another Nashville dispatch is as
follows: The official vote for governor
rs just given out makes Evans plural
ity 74S. The democrats in n general
way claim that the poll tax law was
disregarded in East Tennessee, and
that in some Of tho counties in that
part of the state, which is republican,
frauds can be shown sufficiently to re-
elect Governor Turncy. 1t is there
fore probable that tho Legislature will
have to consider contest for tho Of
flee.
At the republican headquarters it is
claimed that the election laws were
observed in but few of the rural dis
tricts in west Tennessee and in not
many rural districts in middle Ten
ncssec, that in Fayetto and Lauder
dale counties, which arc democratic,
gross frauds were perpetrated, as
shown by the aflidavits of large

Civil Service Commissioner Proctor
says by tho time Mr.. Cleveland goes
out of Office nearly all government
employees will be under the civil SER
vice rules. and then it will be useless
for congressman to chase about the
departments for offices. Then, he
says, congressman may devote their
attention to matters of legislation.
1t is probable that the diplomatic
correspondence relative to Bluefields
Will not be sent to congress before the
holidays. This delay is caused by no
unwlllingncss on the part of the state
department to furnish the information,
but by the great volume of the cor
respondence which covers period of
two years, and will probably make the
largest diplomatic document sent to
congress III many years.

gress, but defeated for the next, has been
