eight in the evening
The returns began to come in from the villages . In all of them the results were similar . It was found that the official element voted for the Government candidate , and those who had been attached to the preceding town-council for the Liberal . At eight in the evening the returns arrived from the first village where Padilla expected a victory . The messenger , surrounded by four men from Cidones , was in a terrified condition . He handed over the returns and left . The result was the same as in all the other rural districts .
