column, electing a full Republican
ticket and both Congressmen:

faith and Jerry Simpson is
boded under a landslide along with

8tate ticket wlll havq. from 80,000 to

Turning to those which retain their
allegiance to Democracy there are still
evidences of the prevailing trend of
political opinion. Arkansas returns a
solid Democratic delegation, but by
reduced pluralities. In Kentucky it is
possible and even probable that in tfee
Ashland district, heretofore the bulwark
of Democracy, will be represented
in the Fifty-fourth Congress by Mr.
Denny, Republican. This will, however,
be due more to disaffection of
Breckinridge Democsats than to any
[growth of Republican sentiment. In
.Louisiana jjemocrauc piux&iiueo nave
been eat down to such an extent that
Republicans claim two Congressmen,
whether upon good grounds or not the
official count will determine.
Tennessee is all mixed up. There
are conflicting claims as to Congressmen,
and even the result of the gubernatorial
contest appears to be Involved
in some doubt owing to serious defec.
tions in middle Tennessee. It can
hardly be doubted, however, that the
returns will show the election of Tnrney,
Democrat, by a safe plurality.
Down in Texas the Republicans for the
first tune have made a fight with the
hope of winning, and as a result two
Congressional districts, the Tenth and
Twelfth are in doubt In Missouri the
Iprevailng "drift" is manifest in reduced
Democratic pluralities for the
State ticket and claims of Republicans
that thev will gain one or two Congressmen.
Mississippi appears to have the lonesome
'distinction of standing firm in
the Democratic faith. She will elect
all candidates of that party by practically
normal majorities.
- Montana has not been heard from
other than in a vague and indefinite
WAV. The neoDle of that State are in
terested in the State capitol question
more than anything else, bat snch retarns
as hay& been received indicate
the election ofHant, Republican, Tor
Supreme Court Justice and Hartman
of the same party for Congress.
This completes the-list, and it is not
lively that the situation outlined will
De changed materially by the official
count. The Populist vote, which was
an uncertain quantity before the elec
tion, can now pretty accurately be
gauged.
WILSON'S DEFEAT CERTAIN.
Wheeling, W. Va., Nov 7.?Complete
returns from ten counties Wilson's
district and estimated returns from
three others, give Drayton a majority
of 2,157. Later returns will not change
these figures much. In the First District
Howard, Democrat, loses the district
to Dovner, Republican, by 3.000.
Republican congressmen are elected
in the Third and Fourth Districts by
majorities of from 1,800 to 250. Republicans
will have the Legislature on
ininfch*iiot bv fifteen majority. Eikln's
election to succeed Camden in the Senate.
SOME COMFORT FROM CALIFORNIA.
San Francisco, Cal., Hov. 7.?Returns
received in this city np to 8 a. m. do
not materially change the figures sent
out at 3 o'clock tnis morning. Budd,
Democratic, for Governor still leads by
nearly 7,000 votes in San Francisco and
Chairman Gould of the Democratic
State2ommtttee claims that his plurality
will reach 12,000, which will be sufficient
to elect him, all indications pointing
to a smaller vote for Estes in the
interior than was anticipated. Republican
managers concede the city to Budd,
but are hopeful that the county vote
will be large enough to overcome Budd's
city plurality. Budd's associates in the
State fight appear to have been sacri
ficed In his interest.- it is apparent j
that the Republicans have elccted six
of the seven Congressmen, Maguire in
the Fourth District being the only Democrat
who will represent California
in the next Congress. Returns indicate
that the next Legislature will be Republican
by a good majority.
ENTIRELY REPUBLICAN.
St Paul, MiniL, Nov; 7?Nelson,
Republican nominee for Governor, is
elected by a majority of 30,000. The
entire Republican State ticket is probably
elected although the Republicans
concede that Biermann, Democratic
nominee for State Auditor, ran considerably
ahead of his ticket and it is barely
possible he has won. Republicans
claim the election of all seven Congress,
men but indications point to the election
of Hall, Democrat, over HeatwoleRepublican,
in the Third District.
ONE ONLY GOT IN.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7?Latter returns
show that Kirkpatrick (Rep.)
"defeats Hart (Dem.) in the Eight Con*gressk>nal
.District by 300 majority.
Complete returns have now been received
from every Congressional District
in the State, and the result is that
the Democrats will have but one of the
9f\ KmnaaantaH ffflm this State In
the next House. Tbe lonely Democrat
is Erdman of the Ninth, who Is reelected
by a majority of 2,350. His
majority in 1892 was 10,958. In tbe
last House the Democrats had ten
members from Pennsylvania.
consolidation dkteated.
Brooklyn, N. Y? .Nov. 7.?The entire
Be publican city ticket is elected by a
plurality ranging from 20,000 to 30,000.
The vote was against consolidation
with New York by about 2,000 and the
apportionment was lost by aboat the
same vote.
the vote in new york city.
New York, Nov. 7.?The following
is the total vote of New York city for
Governor: Hill 126.554; Morton 123,759;
Wheeler, 8,787: Matthews, Populist,
1,530; Mattchett, Socialist, 4,977; Baldwin,
Pro., 831 The vote for Lieutenant
Governor, with 29 election districts
missing is: Lockwood, 129,427; Saxton,

Hartford, Conn., 23 ov. 7'U p to 2
' o'clock this afternoon returns from
156 of the 168 towns in the State give
Coffin, (Rep.) for Governor a plurality
over Cady, the Democratic nominee,
of 17,178. His majority over all candidates
is 13,795. It is the first time a
. Republican Governor has been elected
by the people in about fifteen years.
All the Republican candidates on the
State ticket are elected by large major!i
ties, including Mead for Comptroller.
He defeats Staub,the Democratic nomi
i nee, by over 10,000. In each of the eight
counties Coffin has majorities ranging
from 700 to 2,000. All four Republican
Congressmen are elected. The House
i will be Republican by 140 majority and,
the Republicans have elected 21 of the
24 Senators, the First Hartford District
alone electing a Democrat. Every city
in tne stats nas gone iwjpuuucau uy i
good majorities. The greatest surprise
, is in the Second District, where Perry
(Rep.) defeats Pigott (Dem.) the present
Congressman by about 5,700. In
this city Bardett (Sep.) for Representai
tive is defeated by Barrett (Dem.) by
i only 17, which indicates a possible coni
test.

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 7.?The offl

i that the Repuclicans have carried Utah
by 1,000, that being the approximate

Baltimoe, Nov. 7.?One of the
peculiar things about the election in
this State yesterday 1s the fact that the
Democratic counties which have
secured the largest share of the Federal
nffl/?oo hova anno TiannhHiran Oar roll
County, which has the Collector of Customs,
the best offica in the State, the
special deputy collector and :a large
number ot minor offices, went Republican
for the first time since 1866. Harford
County which has the Collector of
Iaternal Revenue and more minor
places than any other county in the
State, in spite of the usual large Democratic
majority, went Republican. Senator
Gibson's county. Talbott, which
has eighteen men in good Federal offices,
also went ' Republican, and other
counties with large numbers of offices
to their credit went Republican, or
showed a large falling off in the Democratic
vote. It is noticeable also that
the precint in Howard County in which
Gorman resides and votes gave a majority
for the first time in a quarter of
a century.
WISCONSIN SOLID.
Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 7.?Nearly
complete returns show that the Wisconsin
delegation in the Fifty-fourth
Congress will be solidly Republican.
The Republicans will also rontrol the
Legislature.
TCANSAS OTTTTS POPULISM.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 7.?Chairman
Briedenthal, of the People's party State
central committee, concedes the election
of the entire Republican State
ticket and six of the eight Congressmen.
He also concedes that the Republicans
have elected a majority of
the Legislature, which will elect a
Senator.
clean sweep in michigan.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 7.?The next
Legislature of Micnigan will be composed
entirely of Republicans. The
Republican State central committee
has reeeivod full returns from every
Representative and Senatorial district
ia the State and announce positively
this afternoon that the Republicans
have been eleeted in every district.
This result is entirely>unexpected. It
waanot figured on; its effect on the
United States Senatorial succession
cannot yet be determined. It looks as
if every connty has elected their Republican
ticket as well as giving a
plurality on the State ticket. Tht
pluralities in all Congressional districts
are piling up and the smallest majority
received by a Republican candidate
will be 3,000.
HOLMAN 8TATS AT HOME.
Indianapolis, Ind., Xov. 7.?Returns
received at Republican State
committee headquarters this morning
indicate that the Republicans will
capture every one of the thirteen Congressional
districts by clean majority.
The only one in doubt is the eleventh.
In the fourth Watson has carried two
counties and the defeat of Holm an by
at least 500 seems sure. Jnthe fifth
Cooperhas been beaten and in the
third Traceweu (.ttep.; ass puueu
through by at least 1,-500. In the sixth
Johnson Is elected without a doubt
and in the seventh Henry has defeated
Bynum by at least 2,000. The retarns
from the other districts still meagre.
From the figures already received It is
doubtful if the Democrats will capture
a single Congressman. Beturns from
the State show that Indiana nas gone
Republican by about 45,000 majority,
perhaps 50,000, the Legislature being
surely Republican.
NORTH CAROLINA DOUBTFUL. .
Raleigh, H". C., Nov. 7.?The State
Judicial ticket is so close that it will
require the official vote to decide. The
Legislature is in doubt. The Democrate
hope for it, but make no claims.
Populist and Republican leaders are
verv confident. The situation looks
bad for the Democrats. Indications
are that the fusion ticket has defeated
tbe Democratic candidates in the First,
Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth Districts, making the Congressional
delegation stand three Democrats,
two Republicans and four Populists.
The Democrats, however, are
still claiming the Seventh, Eightn and
Ninth.

Philadelphia, Nov. 7.?While the
Democratic National committee claim
four Congressmen in Pennsylvania the
fact remains that the Republicans have
elected twenty-eight of the thirty representatives

districts. Erdman (Dem.) is re-elected
in the Ninth District by a greatly reduced

New Tore, Nov. 7?Not since the
war times have Republicans swept the
Eastern States as they did at the polls
yesterday. The size or the victory
grows as fuller returns come in. In no
State and in no city have Democrats
been able to check the stampede of
voters to the Republican standardbearers.
Ia rock-ribbed Republican
States like Pennsylvania enormous
pluralities have been piled up, and In
States like New York and New Jersey,
which are usually classed in the Democratic
column, Republicans have made
clera sweeps, "the latest estimates
from Pennsylvania indicate that the
plurality of General Hastings will exoeed
210,000. Levi P. Morton has carried
New Tork State by close to

"what the papees sat.
Colttmbia, S. C., Nov. 9.?The Register
this morning says:
Evans' majority over Pope and the
result on the constitutional convention
question are still in some douot, as the
correct figures from the various counties
coula not be secured here yesterday.
The estimate of the Register,
however, that the convention will win
by a majority of between 2,000 and
1,000 is accepted by nearly all the politicians
as correct. Senator Irby himself
savs that it is correct. Even the
opponents of the convention are getting
shaky. The newspaper which
boasted so londly on Wednesday that
the convention had been defeated yesterday
expressed doubt as to the result.
Those who had bets on the defeat of
the convention are now trying to
hedge.
All the indications point to a majority
of at least 2.000 for the convention.
The official count of the State Board of
Managers may be required to decide to
the satisfaction of the opponents of
the convention.
The Western Union Telegraph Company,
which has been getting and
sending oat bulletins of the election,
last night issued a bulletin stating that |
the total vote up to that time, with a
number of precincts to near irom,
stood 21,031 for the convention and 21,518
against. This leaves a majority of
leas than 100 to overcome and nearly
all the missing precincts will favor the
convention. The Western Union puts
the vote for Governor np to date at 31,109
for Evans and 16,154 for Pope, a
majority for Evans of abont 15,000.
The missing precincts will send that
majority to SO,000.
A tSegram received by the Register
yasterday from Spartanburg sta ted that
the majority In that; county for Evans
was 1,250 and against the convention Is
400 less than the Bolster gave (nits
estimate yesterday.
Th? hat.Hnor man can tint his monev
on the convention. It Is going to win.
The State Board of Canvassers will
meet about the 19th of November to
tabulate the vote. All the county
boards meet on Tuesday of next week.
The State this morning says:
Everybody yesterday was asking forthe
latest returns From Tuesday's eiece
tioniwith as much interest as if it werw
the night of the election.- All knexthat
the voice of the people, freely enpreased?had
the votes not been manipulated
and the rankest fraud practiced
to carry the scheme through?was emphatlcaly
against a Constitutional convention.
Knowing this, all were, of
course, anxious to see from the figures
as they came in how the majority apparent
on the face of the first night's
returns, despite tne iraaa praeucea iu
the election JUatlf, would be scientifically
shared down. And when they
peruse the figures below they will see
how it has been done.
} The State yesterday telegraphed to
all its corrapodents at the several
county seats to wire the complete returns
for their counties. Some of We
"complete" returns, when compared
with the totals of the several precincts
in the respective counties?actual figures
received from these precincts on
the night of the election?show a most
remarkable shrinkage in the Pope and
convention votes, while the EVans
and the "Zee" votes show just as
wonderful an increase. For instance
* " ' - ? 1 J
CDe actual ngurea rwcciveu uuu wc
towns of Kershaw and Camden and
foor country boxes on the night of the
election showed these totals: Evans 423,
Pope 611) "Yes" 270 and "No" 854.
Hew the total returns for the county,
minus four county precincts, as received
last night,show these figures: Evans
OH Pope 335, "Yes" 638, "No" 444.
This would seem to indicate that there
has been some very expert counting
going on since the fust returns came in.
As to the other evidences of fraud all
over the State, one but needs to refer
the special telegrams published below
from various portions of the State,
aiad to the announcement of the
Eepublican State executive committee
with regard to contesting
the Congressional districts. It is need
lees to summarise the evidences here.
Haw It Staoda,
Washington, Nov. 8.?At 8 o'clock,
Mr. Baboock, Chairman of the Republican
Congressional Committee gave
out the following statement: Returns

have elected over 250 members, with
several other States tc hear from. We
have carried the solid Congressional
delegations of twenty-three States,
We have carried the majority of the

the election should be thrown in the

have secured control of the next Senate
Dy a majority of 1 to 3, without counting
the vole of North Carolina, which

The address issued by the committee
calling the convention reads as follows:
To the Cotton Planters, (xram growers,
Factors, Commission Merchants,
Bankers, and all Others Interested
in the Agricultural Interests o? the
Country: '
The undersigned, a joint committee
of the Vicksburg Board of Trade and
the Vtcksbarg Cotton Exchange, desire
to call your earnest attention to a contention
to 08 held in the city of Vicksburg,
Miss, on the 20th day of November,
with the view of impressing upon
the United States benatB the Importance
of passing the Hatch bill or some
kindred measure at the coming session
of Congress. We also appeal to you
for your hearty co operation, and asK
you to use your Influence with others
in your vicinity in this behalf.
The present condition of the Hatch
bill is sncb, that with the proper efforts
by its friends in the agricultural
States, there can be little doubt of its
being passed ana receiving me signature
of the President.
It passed the House by an overwhelm
ing majority, and there Is a reasonable
hope that a majority of the Senators
are favorable to it in its present form
or to it as it may be amended, to make
it more effective.
The work in hand is to secure action
on it by 3aid body as promptly as possible.
While two-thirds of the Senotors
may be opDOsed to "future gambling,"
there are some who are opposed to attempting
its suppression by the Federal
government, and they might so
delay action on this bill, or any similar
one as to defeat it. It is to guard
fttrftfnst this delav that this convention
o? the people is called to meet in the
centre of the cotton belt. It should be
a large and influential convention, and
it should take such measures as will
prevent the dangerous delay to wnich
we nave alluded.
In this at peal to the people to aid in
suppressing this great evil which has
fastened itself on our commerce and
agriculture, we can only refer to a
few of its worst features. "Future
gambling," as it is universally termed,
has at present the protection of some of
our largest trade bodies. It is backed
by an unknown and vast amount of
money. It has invaded banking, commerce
and agriculture to such an extent
that it is no aggeration to
state that more money is employed
in gambling in some of the
exchanges in the cities than is employed
in legitimate commerce.
Its pernicious effects are so seriously
felt that it is a matter of grave doubt
whether the law of supply and demand
regulates ;the price of leading agricultural
products. To illustrate this we
would only refer to one exchange, for
many years the New York Cotton. Exchange
has done little except to bet on
the price of cotton. At this exchange
in a single month the sales (bets) of
fictitious cotton have reached the total
of the average crop of the United
State. 8,000,000 bales, and in one year
over 50,000.000 bales, while the sales of
actual cotton daring the si?me year at
.New Yorfe were only 193,000 bales and
the net receip's of actual cotton at
tbat port 107,000 bales. Such bets cannot
possibly aid in the rapid handling
and delivering of cotton and in securing
its manufacture and sale to consumers.
On the contrary, the effect
? ? Knf aril on/i Mia Innofir
U2U1 L/C UliWUljl uuu &iu,uuv> vuu .v?a?.
it is permitted the greater the extent to
which the evil will be carried.
Tbis is bat a single illustration. If
there was any way of presenting the
actual statistics of future gambling in
cotton, wheat, com, oats and other agricultural
products in New York, Chicago,
St. Louis, New Orleans and other
cities, the showing would be such a
one as to arouse the people all over the
Republic.
The people are masters of She situation,
but they must unite and act.
When there is no longer reason to
doubt the sentiment of the people their
wishes will be enacted into ,1aw, and
that law will be executed.
In view of the foregoing we hereby
invite all pirsons in sympathy with |
the purposes of this convention to attend,
and it is desired that all communities
be epresented.

Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 8.?In the
Congressional fizht Dxkery of the
Third, Tarsney of the Fifth and Cobb
of the Twelfth are the only Democrats
that have been elected on the fice of
returns. Hatch in the First District is
clearly beaten by Clark. Halleck in the

hopes until now, has surely s;oae down,
Ellison in the Fourth and Heard in the
Seventh are buried. In the Eighth
4'Silver Dick" Bland's rural constituency
has given him the go-by in favor
of Joel Hubbard. In the Ninth Champ
Clark has been defeated by Treloar of
Adriam, a school teacher, with protection
tendencies. Bartholdt in the Tenth,
Joy in the Eleventh and Rinney in the
Thirteenth, sweir the Republicans
column. The "Svarnp Angel" District
of the Southeast where only Democrat?
were supposed to live, have elected
Mosely, the Rspublican candidate. For
the first time in twenty-five years the
Southeast has lailed.to come up rock*
ribbed for the Democratic ticket. Counties
which have never gone Republican
since the ex-Confederates were restored
to citizenship have elected the entire
Republican ticket. Analysis of the vote
as shown by returns received at Democratic
headqurters'shows that no portion
of the State has been exempt from
the shaking up. It is just as bad dawn
along the Arkansas line as it is up on
the Iowa border. The Mississippi River
counties are as badly "slumped" as is
the tier which borders Kansas.
T?ro yeas ago the Democrats bad
ninty-two members in the lower house
of the Legislature and the Republicans
forty-eight. This time the Democrats
and Populists combined will not be able
to muster more than a strong minority.

Tillman returned yesterday after*
? fnllaor* wh>r*
UWll UUiU ViVUWVU TV*???V ??
has been attending the annual meeting
of the directors of that institution.
The board, in addition to preparing
its annual reports for the Legislature,
decided on a number of important mat*
ten.
It will be sood news to the poor boys
of the State who are ambitious to attend
Clemson and who are deterred be*
cause of the lack of fiaaccss to know
that the Trustees reduced the price of
board from $7 a month to $6, to take
effect from the next session, which opens
in February. This is cheaper than at
any institution of tbe kind in the United
States. The Trustees think that the
price of board can be permanently kepi
at $6 a month. The students will be
given the same bill of fare as now adB
will be allowed all they want to eat.
The Trustees will call on the Legislature
for an appropriation to aid the col
lege rest year. It has cot been decided
what will be asked for bat it ma? be
somtfcing like $30,000. This appropriation
will be necessary lor several reasons.
One is that the loss of the main
building by fire |this summer entailed a
serious loss on the college. Another is
that the insitutlon has spent a great deal
of money this year in completing the
various Duildings which are absolutely
necessary to the successful carrying out
ef the work to be dooe. Still another
reason is that the income from fertilizer
tags next year Is expected to be very
much reduced. This is because the low j
price of cotton hat put the farmers in
such a condition that they will buy little
fertiliser next year.
The present session of the college has
been shortened. It was to end Dicember
20 bat the board provided for its
ending on 30th of thi3 month. The
reason for this !s that the heating facilities
are meagre so far and the board
does not care to take the risks of subjecting
the students to the results oi exposure.
By ths time the nest session
opens, in February, the heating facilities
will be impr?ved.
The work of rebuilding the main building
is progressing satisfactorily, and the
building will be ready for use in ^,vruary.
The annual contests of the Calnuun
Society of the college were held on Thursday
night, and Governor Tillman expresses
himself as delighted with the
splendid showing made the boys. The
Governor said that all of the young
orators did well, but he is particularly
fnli nf nraise for a vcaoz man named
j. S. Garris of Colleton County, who delivered
an oration on the subject of
''Progress in Education." The medal
for the best orator was awarded Mr.
Garris.
C. M. Mauldin won the debaters'
medal and J. S. Leech the declaimers'
medal.?Register.
