 in Eagle.

AltIlc INOCh, Al AsS oCpCs " ASt 0 at first the no-license campaign ap- peared about to reap it's harvest, late returns in the county election show it has lost ground and the license ma jorit yin this county will, it is claim ed, be in excess of what it was two years ago, while the no-license ele- ment are hopeful the majority will be cut down. tYf4
 Amendment No. 10 is also still in doubt in this county, with about an even break so far. The worst fea- ture in this vote is that in many in- stances the voters did not cast a bal. lot on the Amendment, which meant that al such votes counted as votes against it. The Sixth ward of Little Rock is an example of this. The ballots counted there show there were about 440 votes cast in the ward, with 200 in it's favor and 1S4 ballots in it's favor, it lost in the ward The same condition is found true in many places over the county.
 No Election in Eagle.
 The most remarkable feature about he election yesterday was the ab- sence of an election in Eagle town ship. The ballot box was taken to this township Sunday evening by R. HI. Walton and left on his porch un- til this morning.
 Walton came to Little Rock this morning with the empty box and ex- plained that during the night some one had removed the ballots and con- sequently no election could be held. He asked for his fees for taking the box to and from Eagle township, but they have not yet been allowed.
 Eagle township is negro settle ment, there being but eight voters ill the township. It is reported that one of these stated they did not want an election, as they were sure the state and county would go right without the assistance of the township. This ACoNCo NdSoASASS III luC OlllCG u (Ou- stable and Justice of the peace mak. ing it necessary for Governor Dona- ghey to make appointments. The fact that no election was held pre- vented the biennial contest for jus- tice of the peace between two promin- ent negroes of the township.
 Democratic Gains.
 The Democratic party made great gains in the county, Pyeatte giving some Democratic votes this time, where it never gave any before. Hen ry o. Vogler, Democratic candidate for county clerk, received 16 of the 39 votes cast in Pyeatte township. All of the votes in this township went for license. The Republican candidate for governor secured every vote, and the Democratic candidates for repre- sentative and senate received nothing.
 In the Second ward of Little Rock the judges had not completed the count at noon.
 There was report current this morning that the ballot box of the Third ward in Argenta had been stol- en but this report was unfounded as the judges counted all during the night, until z o'clock this morning When the task was completed all went to sleep, Judge J. A. Henry talk ing the ballot box home with him, sending word he would bring it across the river as soon as he had some rest.
 All during the morning the ballot boxes were arriving in Little Rock and being turned over to the cleo ton commissioners, W. B. Lemon, Joe B .Bateman and F. N. Croxson, who were in session in the grand jury room of the county court house. The commission will. this afternoon. tabu-
