Democrats Not Taking luCh Interest in the Election
and Republican Factions Scrapping for
Supremacy Over Each Other.

Little Rock. Nov. 3.-There is very
little interest manifested in the con
gressonal election in Arkansas which
comes off tomorrow. In fact, it has
been so long since the Republican
strength in elections in this state that
Democrats have come to regard the
elections as a mere matter of form.
Since the split of the Republican
ranks, however, there has been more
activity than on previous occasions.
Each, element is struggling for su-
pr aacy SO far as recognition from the
administration is concerned, and for
this reason above ali others the Re
publicans have put almost full CON
gressional ticket in the field.
Following is the ticket as certified
to the secretary of state:

Dem.); no opposition.
