Legislature-Chairm Thomp-

The late returns indicate that Fra
zier's majority will reach 5O,OUO. bas-
ing calculations on the average gains
made by the Democrats in East Ten
nessee, and the falling of OF the Repuo-
lican vote in West Tennessee, lt was
figured at headquarters that the re-
turns from these counties Will run
Frazier's majority up to fully oO,OOO.
From indications received up to noon
TODAY the entire vote polled in the state
will not exceed 155, 900, and it is some
what dopbtful whether it Will come
within 5000 of this estimate.
So far as returns concerning the leg
islature had been received up to late
hour this morning the Democrats VIII
have at least 10 votes on joint ballot,
including the few independent Demo-
Gratis who we're elected. In the Twenty
sixth District reports are conflicting
as to who is elected. The race is very
close, with the chances in favor OF the

the Democratic party will have

ed, twenty-seven Senators, sixty two
Representatives proper and twenty one
Pictorial Representatives. The Repuo

The Anti Saloon League unquestion-
ably has the Lower House by an over
whelming majority, and at least TWEEN

IN OTHER STATES.

The Republican majority in Indiana
is estimated at 20, 600. They have
secure hold on the Legislature. -Four
Democratic Congressman were elected
Representative Cannon, of Illinois,
is mentioned as the probable success
or to Speaker HENDERSON in the House.
Gov. Odells plurality is estimated
at 10. 1897. The Democrats make no
concessions and the leaders will meet
TODAY in New York to formulate
plan for a contest.
The poor showing made by the Re.
publicans in Kentucky Tuesday is said
to have discouraged Commissioner
Yerkes, of the Internal Revenue Blu
reau, from becoming a gubernatorlal
candidate.
Control of the next House will re-
main with the Republicans. Latest
figures on the result of Tuesday s
election give them majority OF
twenty-six, with two districts In
doubt. The returns show: Republi-
cans 2O5, Democrats 179. The two
doubtful districts are the First and
Second California, with chances OF the
Democrats carrying them. Democrats
claim some of the districts now In
the Republican column, but they can
not overcome the lead of their oppo-
nents.

II. Smith Magistrate

Indifference seems to have held firm
hold on Maury County Democrats and
Republicans alike in yesterdays cleo
ton, and the total vote, as a result, is
far below normal.
Returns have been coming in slowly
and were secured with difficulty.
Many officers of election could not
remember the vote at their own pre-
cinct, or had failed to take any record
other than the sealed returns.
Our table this week shows the
vote, unofficially. From these in
complete returns it will be seen that
Frazier for Governor has 1885, while
Campbell, the republican nominee,
has only 475, majority Of 1, 1871 or
Mr.. Frazier. L. P. Padgett for Con-
gress, has 1869, while Mr.. Gregory,
his republican opponent, has $40; a
majority for Padgett Of 1,092. Erwin.
Lipsomb and Nelson for the Legisla-
ture, run well up with their ticket
In 1898 the democratic majority for
governor in the county, was l, S85 and
the total vote was about $3.50. Here
in Columbia the contest of greatest
interest was that for corporation mag
