ARKANSAS ELECTION.
Democratic rIajority Not SO Large as
First Reported.

LITTLE ROCK (Ark.), Sept 10
Official returns from the election have
been received by the Secretary of
state from all counties in the State ex-
cept Scott and Logan, and the majority
for Colonel Daniel w. Jones and the
remainder of the Democratic State
ticket is but 3S,640. The increase of
the Republican ticket over 1894 is in
the neighborhood of 10000.
The result is great disappointment
to the Democrats, as it was confidently
believed that the Democratic ticket
won by at least 10000 majority. The
Gazette of this city, the State or
gan of the Democracy up to Sunday,
claimed the State by 10000. Demo-
cratic leaders here say the large de-
crease is due to the fact that a large
number of Democrats remained away
from the polls, refusing to vote be-
cause Colonel Jones proclaimed from
every stump in the State that he would
not support the nominee of the Chicago
Convention if he happened to be a
