Carmack men, did not attend the
election for various reasons.
Owing to the interest taken in
the Governors race, the Judges of

of the balloting for nominations
for Judges of Supreme Court, the

is probable that Bell, Lamb and

There is much dissatisfaction
among the friends of Senator Car
mack over the methods by which
the primary was conducted over
the county. There is no question,
Judging from the reports drifting
in from the rural districts, that if
the election had been confined to
Democrats and bona6de voters,
Senator CBrmack would have car
rled the county by safe majority.
The Patterson men are talking
of contesting the vote in the first
district, where, we understand,
seven or eight ballots were lost.
The Carmack men have equally as
good ground to contest the vote of
the seventh district, where, we are
reliably uniformed, the Patterson
men and Republicans took charge
Of the election. There are about
Al Carmack men in this district,
we are told. A few of them voted
in the forenoon, but when others
saw the turn of affairs they would
not participate in it, and the Car
mack Judge refused to sign the
election returns.
In the eighth district we learn
that Republicans were permitted
to vote over the protests of the
'Carmack Judge, and this is said to
be true of other,districts.

feature Of this contest. TheDem-
ocratic platform is yet to be made,
Democratic Legislators are yet to

other vital reforms must 90 on

This battle has been lost, but the
war has gust began
"They have immensely strained
and weakened their resources to
gain it. We are as strong as ever
and can put up as good a Eight
every Saturday as we did last Sat
urday."
1T will be observed that the Gov
ernor's principal strength lay in
the larger cities, where opportun-
tiles for tundetected fraud of all
kinds are greatest, while Senator
Carmack's heaviest majorities
came from the rural districts of
the State. This bears out the
claim OF The CHRONICLE that the
rural districts of Tennessee are
largely for Senator Carmack.
1t is source of qualification to
temperance Democrats that all five
of the counties with cities that
voted out liquor under the Pen
dleton law, namely, Knoxville,
Jackson, Columbia, ClsrksvilIe,
and Bristol, rolled up majorities
for Senator Carmack.
A noteworthy fact in this con-
nection rs that the four counties.
that have retained liquor, Shelby,
Davidson, Hamilton and Camp
bell voted for Governor Patterson.
In fact, the majorities received in
these four counties is what saved
the day for the Governor.
The latest returns indicate that
Governor Patterson is a sure win
ner for Governor; Avent almost
a certainty for Railroad Commits
sioner; Lansden and Bell are run
ming neck and neck for Supreme
Judge, with Richardson and Hen
derson beaten off, and Hall having
a slight advantage over Lamb for
Court of Civil Appeals.
Some of the counties are close.
so closeon the face of the returns
that it will require recount, per
haps, to decide.
