CAMERON COUNTY RETURNS.
Democrotic Majority Much Greater
than Last Election" Blues"
Sweep the County.

Returns received from fifteen pre-
cincts in Cameron county show a
clear democratic majority of 464
votes, in the congressional contest,
Gamers total being 1886, and
SCOTS 923. There are still six pre-
cincts to hear from, which will prob
ably swell the democratic majority
by at least 100 votes. The demo-
cratic, or Blue" county ticket runs
a little ahead of Garner, on:account
of scratched tickets in one precinct.
As a rule, however, the entire ticket
ran even, with only a few excep-
tons. Following are given the re-
turns from the precincts so far heard
from, giving the vote for Garner
and Scott alone:

Than 1000.
Special to HERALD.


San Antonio, Texas, Nov. g.

of no less than $500 to 1000, and
has carried at least seventeen out of
the twenty-five counties in the

verde, Uvalde, Medina, Dimmitt,
Zavalla, Lasalle, Frio. Wilson,
Atascosa, McMullen, Liveoak, San

ream after ream Of paper must have been
consumed in the act and the business
kept streets clear throughout the night.
Policemen had plenty Of time to them
selves, and some scratched resolutions on
walls and lamp posts.
There was only one man though, who
threw promises to the winds as Il result
OF attending Polish ball. While return

Mayor Fisher in reply to this said
tkat il the company could make inn
provements for ten years, it could also
make improvements for six years, THAT
would give the city a desirable service.
The conference ended without the
Mayor signing the contracts He re-
manned firm throughout, and when ii
closed, he said he felt nothing could
change his views that the city could
be in any way benefited by accepting
a ten-year contract, when it could get
lights for the same price for six years.
During the conference the question
of Welsbaclh Night was not brought up
but the Mayor is not reticent in ex-
pressing what mis- action win be on
that contract It will be more stringent
than his action on the electric light
question. His approval to the Wells
bach light has not yet been asked, but
when it is THE Mayor will have some
thing to say.
