AQNtTtiStT DuTSdu, Mobile. April 10. Never perhaps in the political his- tory of the city of Mobile was there such fierce war waged as that which closed at ! o'clock this evening throughout the entire county. It was a battle of the ballot and such an one as may never be witnessed again. While the shrievalty. the most lucrative of the offices contested for, was an issue. 1t was four-cornered contest and friends of the opposing candidates worked from early morn until the last vote was boiled. But another strong fight was made for the senatorial toga. B Friends of Max Hamburger had ai- ready c1aimed handsome majority for their champion in the county and ac- knowledged that there was fighting to do in the city wards in order to land him the winner. Odds were freely of- fered as early as Sunday of to on him against Walter F. Walsh, and con- siderable sums were wagered. While MT. Hamburger's friends waged an ag- gresive war the friends of Mir Walsh were equally alert This was conceded one of the prettiest political lights ever waged in Mobile County, 1t at times superceding the race for the nomination for sheriff.
 Friends of the various candidates will necessarily have to walt until to- morrow to know the actual results. owing to the long distance many of the returning officers will have to come and of the long and .Alious count of the larger wards of this city.
 The returns are coming in slowly Indications are that Hamburger wins for senator; Lyons: Hoffman and Da. doubt, with Cazalas leading.
