Stillane, of Houston, Tex, in behalf
of the mayor and citizens committee
OF Galveston, which, in a few words,
gives TO the president the general
situation in Galveston and says that
money, food and clothing are needed
Immediately; also that they must be
furnished by the state and nation. lie
calls upon the president for aid. The
president has replied stating that he
had instructed the secretary of war
to Immediately furnish tents and
provisions for the destitute people in
Galveston and expressing his sym
pathy with the sufferers.
President Mckinley also sent a tele-
gram of sympathy to Gov Sayers, in
which he says that he will instruct

He Received a Handsome
Plurality
IN LAST SATURDAYS PRIMARY.
Boyd, His Nearest Contestant, is
from 1,4oo to 1900 Votes Behind
Him.

"The hurly -burly's done, the battles
lost and won''- and Hon. L. p. Pcdgett
of Maury, is the Democratic nominee
for Congress from the Seventh Congress
sional district.
Satu days primary was battle
royal No G. ngregsiona race has ever
attracted more interest-in Maury
county, especial " than this one The
forces on each side arrayed all the
strength they could command, and the
fight was hot from the beginning to the
end
The large vote polled throughout the
district is evidence of the great interest
that was taken. The total vote cast in
Maury county was 1914, as against
2,091 in 1898. when there were five can
didates in the race Whitthorne of
Maury. Cox of Williamson, GriCsby of
Dixon, EN ing and Montague of Giles.
The complete returns from the dis
trict have not yet been reported, hut
enough has been received to show Mr..
Pad ett's election beyond the shadow
CT q doubt. Mr.. Padgett's plurality
over Mr. Boyd, his nearest opponent, it
is estimated, will be between 1,200 and
1,500
Complete returns have been received
from Maury, Williamson and Dickson,
and from Giles with the exception OF
one precinc-. Only incomplete returns
are obtainable from Lawrence, Lewis,
Wayne ard Hickman.
Mr.. Padgett reached home Saturday
morning, having closed his campaign in
Giles county, and slept during the fore
noon. Mai Whitthorne spent the day
at the polls at Harlan & Crosthwait' s
drug store
The vote at the Franklin box in Will
hanson county was Whitthorne 142
Padgett l35, Boyd So. Returns from
the entire county show Padgett's pu
rality over Boyd to be 551, and his ma.
jority over both of his competitors, 10.
