Kincaid in the Swcth district, but by a reduced majority, and gain slightly in judicial districts. Chairman Edmiston of the fusion state central committee insists that S. A. Holcomh is elected judge of the supreme court by 15.000. probably more. The Republican committee gave up the fight and quit counting early this morning, morn-ing, v , W. J.

Notwithstanding efforts were ! made to get the vote for Jones, returns I have been secured from only , forty of i the eighty-eight counties.
