First Of all. there has rarely been

THE ELECTION.

The result of Saturdays election is so close that it will probably require the official count to decide it. Both candidates doubtless realize the strength of their opposition, and reIther has been discredited by the results.
 Although practically unknown out side of his judicial circuit, Judge Hays succeeded in drawing to his .sHpport an unusually strong combina- ,saon of political forces. He and his friends have apparently had unlimit- aed funds for the distribution of cam naign advertising and the services of s1nrs.s of men who have travelled over s2se suate in his behalf.
 Yt is probable that had the election been held immediately after both can- asstfates announced, MT. Brundidge wun1d have swept the state by tre- snaendous majority. But the political farces under Judge Hays succeeded in overcoming this handicap, with the wsssiit that the race IS one of the cloS- est in the history of Arkansas.
 The Log Cabin Democrat supported Mr. Brundidge, not because of any feeling against Judge Hays, but be- sczsuse we believed that MT. Brundidge xunld go into the governors office ab- xoiutely independent and under no ob- legations to the gang of corrupt poli- EGans who have done so much to ln- 5sye the state And this paper natur- aRy feels proud of the vote in Fauik- sxr rounty, which returned splendid zsajority for MT. Brundidge.
 We believe, however, that Arkan- ,xas will have a good man for gover- nyr, whoever is nominated, and we zkzAl take pleasure in supporting the Democratic nominee, whether it be Nr Brundidge or Judge Hays.

JACKSON IS WINNER.

Little Rock, June 23.-That J. M. Jackson of Helena has received the nomination for judge of the First ju- dicial district was indicated by re- ports that he has carried four of the five counties in the district, Phillips, Lee, St. Francis and Woodruff, re- ceiived in Little Rock last night. His opponent, Eugene Cypert of Searcy, evidently has received a majority of the ballots in White county.
 MT. Cypert said last night he had not been informed as to the results in any of the counties except his own, which he carried. He said he had heard nothing from Phillips county. He was not prepared either to claim a victory or acknowledge defeat.

MURDERER

PHILLIPS SLAYER HIDING
IN FAULKNER COUNTY, LITTLE ROCK OFFICERS ARE INCLIN-

Little Rock, June 23.-After day of search for Jim Fox, who shot and killed Patrick Phillips Saturday eve ming near Kerr, Chief Deputy Con- stable Charlie Jones and posse gave up their search just before dark yes- terday after having trailed Fox to within a few miles of Mayfower, his former home, located in the southern edge of Faulkner county. Officers in the neighborhood of Kerr and from Lonoke county also spent fruitless day in an effort to find Fox.
 Deputy Jones and posse began their search at an early hour yesterday morning and shortly after noon se- toured the first clue, although it was only a slight one. Residents in the vicinity of Mayflower told the officers that they had seen man whose de- scription partially fits that of Fox, near Mayfower, and the man acted Isuspiciously, although none would say positively that it was Fox.
 Fox's parents live at Mayfiower | and the officers believe that he would seek safety at his home. However

Fox was not found at Mayhower, and when darkness came the officers were forced to abandon the chase until this morning when it will again be begun.
 Deputy Constable Jones said the people living in the vicinity of May Ter give Fox an exceedingly bad repu- talon. He said they warned him not to let Fox get the drop on him. They declared that Fox undoubtedly will shoot on sight, and they expressed the belief that he will never be taken alive.

 Pulaski county, with four town ships missing, gives Hendricks 1892 and Wooten 1,676, a majority for Hendricks in the county of 316. The six Perry county townships from which returns have been receiv- ed gave Hendricks 227 and Wooten 179, majority for Hendrix of AS.
