JEFF DAVIS Is
RENOM|NATED
BY ONLY 5000 TO 10000
DITOR'S RACE STILL IN
DOUBT-WINGO DEFEATS
CARTER.

renominated by majority of from
800 to 10000.
The race for state auditor is still in
doubt, with Oathout leading.
Wingo has apparently defeated
Carter for congress in the Fourth dis
trict.
Out of a total of 1880 votes, &C
counted for by complete and partial
returns, from IA of the Is counties in
the state received by the Gazette up
to this morning, Senator Jeff Davis
has lead of 8,940 votes over Stephen
Brundidge in their race for United
States senator, says this mornings
Gazette. These returns are believed
to indicate the denomination of Sena-
tor Davis, but Mr.. Brundidge has not
yet conceded his defeat.
1t is not believed that the total vote
cast in Wednesdays primary will ex-
coed 10000, if it reaches that figure,
and in order to overcome Senator Da-
Wis majority, as shown on the face of
the present returns, Mr.. Brundidge
would be compelled to obtain large
part of the vote that has not yet been
reported.
On the returns received and compil-
ed by the Gazette, Senator Davis has
$685. and Mr.. Brundidge 54,895
votes.
Additional returns received yester-
day have increased the size of Con-
gresham Robinson's majority over
Governor Donaghey, and the indica-
tons now are that it will approach
close to 10000. Complete returns
from more than 20 counties and prac-
tically complete returns from all the
other counties in the state give Robin
son 1856 and Governor Donaghey
1861, Robinson leading by 1899
votes on the present returns.
The race between J. C. Colquitt and
John M. Oathout for state auditor
continues to be the closest of all the
state contests On the returns receiv-
ed by the Gazette, accounting for
more than $4,000 votes, Oathout is
leading by a majority of SOP. There
has not difference of more than a
few hundred votes between these two
candidates since the returns from the
eelction began to come in. The re-
turns now in give Oathout 43,677 and
Colquitt 43,175.
Judge w. L Moose of Morrilton has
been nominated for attorney general.
He now has lead of more than TO-
900 over Judge S. T. Rowe, and of
more than 10000 over X. O. Pindall.
The returns now give Moose 39,648,
Rowe 29,16O and Pindall 27,221.
Late returns have increased the
lead of John H. Page for commission
er of mines, manufactures and agri-
culture over w X. Surridge and the
nomination of Mr.. Page is believed to
be assured. The partial returns give
Page 50,15S and Surridge 1866, a
majority of 7,493 for Page.
Sam J. Rowland maintained his
lead over Guy B. Tucker for railroad
commissioner for the northwestern
district on the additional returns re-
ceived yesterday, and his nomination
is assured. Complete and partial re-
turns from IA of the Is counties in the
district give Rowland 11,429 and
Tucker 1862.
The defeat of Judge Frank Milwee
of Clarendon for state senator in the
Thirteenth senatorial district was one
of the results of the primary of the
greatest interest, outside of the state
races. The returns from Monroe
county show that Judge Milwee was
defeated by Harry Harris by ma
jority of 277 votes. Under the ar
engagements followed in that district
the race was run only in Monroe
county.
