Little Rock, Ark September Cen.
Daniel w. Jones, OF L.ttle Rock, was TO-
day elected Governor of Arkansas, and
the entire Democratic State ticket has
been successful al the polls.
There were but Two full tickets in
the field, the Democratic and the Re-
publican, the Populis,s con;enting
thems Ives with a candidate for Gov
ernor.
General Jones and Mr.. Remmel, the
Republican nominee, made an active
canvass Of the Sac, but Files, the Pop
ulist nominee, made no speeches.
The Democrats put forth special ef-
forts TO IoI up a large majority IN this
election for its moral effect on the -Iee
silver cause in other States in Ncvem-
o.r, and an,e-eiecton estimates haye
placed Jones's majority as hign as 5O,-
900 over combined opposition.
In Little Rock Interest in the cleo
ton centered on the liquor license ques-
lion. Never bsfOre in the history OF the
CITY had there been sucn a campaign
against license, the religious ele-
ment, the w. c. T. T., and the ministers
especially having besn busily engaged
for more than a month.
At p. m. enough returns have been
received from city polling places 10 in
dicate that license has carried by a
small majority, and ,hal the regular
Democratic ticket in this county has
carried by about the usual majority.
Itis believed that the majority OF Hon,
| Dan ". Jones' Democratic nominee for
Governor, wili not be less than $4,000,
and t may possibly reach $4,000.
