OOO The southern part of the state is al
most sOiidly democratic, and returns from
northern counties give better promise than

vote in 1892 give good majority for the full
democratic ticket"
Returns received las night indicate that
the regular democratic ticket was elected
yesterday in Alabama. with a majority IN
the legislature.
Democrats gained in nearly every county
heard from. Capt. Kolb's big gain
was in Jefferson county, but the democrats
claim that county. Chairman Tonpkins Of
the democratic committee says the returns
come up TO reports sent in prior ia election.
Montgomery city and county gave about
5000 majority for the democratic ticket.
Some of the counties that gave Capt. kolo
majority in 1882 have gone fer Col. Oates
this year.
The fight was between the regularly or
ganized democratic party, with Congress
man william c. Oates the candidate for
governor and Unitel States Senator Nor

side, and the allianc democratic party
which has the support of the populist and
republican parties with Capt. Reuben r.
