Returns insure the return of S. M.
Sjarkman, Democrat, ia the lirst con
gressional district, and R. W. Harris,
Democrat, in ti:e second. The vote,
judging from indications, is from 10 to
go per cent, lighter for both parties
than in litO. iho whole Democratic
State ticket is elected. lhe light vote
is due to the feeble resistance ft! ere 1.
The constitutional amendments requir

the victory to the Republicans. Returns
on Congressmen are insufficient to de

probably more. A partutly tho result

The Democrats have ceitainly won ia
fifth, sixth aud seventh districts. Re
turns ut complete, make it practically
certain that they have won iu the lirst,
third and ninth. In the second and
fourth the two Populists, who were
endorsed by tho Democrats, are elect
ed. The Republicans re-elected Lmr.ey
in the eighth. It looks now that iho
Democrts have made a clean sweep t-x
cept in the eighth district, where tho
majority is reduced. The Legislature
is two-thirds Democratic on joint ballot
and the Democratic judicial ticket is
elected by not less thau g0,00O. Two
years ago the fusionists carried the
State by 40,000. The voto shows that
there has been a revolution.
