ELECTION IN ARKANSAS.
Democrats Now Claim a Majority of About
$1,000 Votes.


Little Rock. Sept. 9.-P. J. Carroll Arm
strong. chairman Of the Democratic state
central committee, says that the indica-
tions are that 10000 votes were cast at
Mondays election. The combined vote of
the opposition reached ho.oo0, giving Il ma
ticket. The campaign was fought on
financial lines, the Democrats standing
for free silver and the Republicans for tho
single gold standard. This is double the
majority the Democrats rec ived at the
elections two and four years ago.
From all counties the report comes
that fair aud square vote was had
and that an open count of the ballot is
now going on. While very few official
counts have yet been made, and fully
ten days will eldpse Before complete
returns will be known, yet the predic-
tions sent out from here of Jones' ma
jority being $1,000 will undoubtedly be
verified. with q possible increase of
from 1000 to 10000.
There were about six thousand votes
cast in Pulaski county and the Demo-
cratic majority will reach 1000. Lii
Ccnsc carried by about the same vote.
The Republicans and Populists are
making 30 claims. bit are awaiting Of
fetal returns. Local tickets are in
doubt in n few counties. but in most
cases the only question is as to the
size or the Democratic majority. Many
congratUlatury kilograms are being re-
ccivcd by Democratic State Chairman
Carroll Armstrong.

At one point in his speech Bryan

manifested in many ways. In the

Not only have some of these
corporations attempted to ccerce their

There is a strong feeling in the south
that there should be cooperative
ticket-one composed of men who fully
share each others views on the great
issues of the day and stand together
in every way as representing the

Watson there is cooperative ticket.
1t is better silver ticket than Bryan
and Sewall.

nominating Sewall. 1t will he admit
