NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 1o.-10 ..
m.-There has as yet been no solution
that Is official in the gubernatorial sit
uation. There is much excitement. and
newspaper bulletin boards have been
surrounded by throngs all day and to-
night the street in front of the Amerl-
can Office is crowded. Both committees
claim the election, but both say they
have not official returns from
all counties and can give only es-
Inmates. The retBrns have come in
earlier than ever before. but there has
not been for thirty years as close race
as the present one. Heretofore sufficient
counties have been heard fiom election
night to show cOnclusively the result,
but this time all calculations have been
upset, and it will take returns from all
counties to show who is elected gov
ernOr. AS yet only estimates as
to the entire state can be given.
Secretary Brock, of the Republican com.
mittee, says Evans, the Republican. is
elected by 1,66S majority. with one Re-
publican county to hear from. Chair
man Carroll says Turney, Democrat. is
elected according to official and unoffi-
clal but trustworthy returns received by
him. The American has official returns
from seventy-five counties and unotfi-
cial returns and reliable estimate from
the. remaining twenty-one counties
which give TurneY 1,197 over Evans. The
absence of official returns makes the
result extremely doubtful. There have
hor nf
but they do not seem to have assumed
definite shape. Tonight Republicans
serenaded Mr.. Evans. who is in the city,
and wanted him to speak, but he de-
clined. Both of the parties charge each
other with holding back returns, al
though the newspapers have received
returns more rapidly than from any
previous election.
Will Re Contested.
Midnight-The Democratic executive
committee practically admits the elec>
ton of Evans, Rep, on the face of the
returns. The Republican committee
claims his election by from l.4O0 to 1.5OO
votes. There will from present in
dications be a contest when the
legislature meets to canvass the
returns. The legislature is Dem
ocratic in both branches. The
Democrats claim that they have concu-
sive evidence of frauds perpetrated in
East Tennessee counties. and that re-
turns from many Of them have been
padded to show more votes and larger
majorities for Evans than he received,
and that when these are eliminated,
Turney'S undisputed vote will give
him a majority. The legislature
meets in January, 1895. Further
returns tonight from two counties
in West Tennessee show that the
former statements from them were in
correct, and reduce Turney's vote abont
1,200. which elects Evans by the face Of
the returns. The American from late
and corrected returns admits that Evans
has $50 over Turney from the face of
the returns.
For the first time since Tuesdays
election the Republican state commit
tee comedies the official count Will be
necessary to decide election for gov
eTnor.
