There ls atso an element of doubt !n Nebraska, where the .-"*V election of Majors (Bap.) over Bolcomb \ (Pop-Dem.) Is by no means assured. Vf With these exceptions; however, the . - tide of EepubUcan "success appears to K be overwhelming. Ohio has given the fk. largest Republican majorfty-m its hisH^iorj, Wiping cut not only McKlnley's ^^Rplurallty of 85,800, but jping above I^^Bhigh water mar* set Dy jonn isrongn V tn im of 101,000. It is thought that !flp "-iinuafficlal returns will show a RepubW UoinpInBQttyuelJiaDOO to 150,000. Colorado has repudiated Populist docr trines and swung back into the Republican column, electing a full Republican ticket and both Congressmen: Kanata, too, has returned to tba Republican faith and Jerry Simpson is boded under a landslide along with otter Populist candidates. Wisconsin L has reversed her verdict of two years I a(0 and has elected a Republican State & goremxnent and nine out of ten Con neieinea of the same political faith, r In Illinois the Democrats have met a crushing defeat. Not only has the Kate shown preference for Republican h candidates as expressed by some 40, fOOQ or 60,000 plurality, out tne uonaressional delegation has been turned over almost bodily to the Republicans, Wm. M. Springe^ goingSiown with his party In the Seventeenth District. The city of Chirago, toohas cast 25,000 plurality against iheDemocr^ts. The Legisla?tore is Republican - on joint ballot and the result of the-^oallotlng is a complete reversal of the political situation. Indiana is in JftUt fashion, too. Returns are incompiefeubut there seems to belittle doubt -thkt^ the Republican 8tate ticket wlll havq. from 80,000 to tfnoo plurality and the victors will gain four Congressmen. It is significant of the general.upset that the election of Hon. . William Holm an in the Fourth District Is more than doubtful . and the Republicans claim that an official eount wUl retire*the great objactor from the^Katlonal Legislature. Minnesota is rRepublican by 80,000 to hjjaajtniirMiyj^wpgu the Democrats and the Populists. Michigan giveeaRepubliean pluralr. ity of 40,000 and/ unless the official count changes the outlook greatly, the dtm congressional delegation will be Republican. It is practically the same . way In Iowa, although the Democrats of the Hawkeye State have the prospect of saving" one Congressman? ; ...

So much for States with Republican pluralities. ifev. ^ .... , . 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, : 119,600; Hewson, Populist, 1,583; Steer, Socialist, 3,446;Miller, Pro., 486. the same old story. 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. i iowa wholly republican. i Davenport, la., Nov. 7.?In the - Second Congressional District, Cartis, i Republican, was elected oyer Hayes, ' Democrat, by 800 majority. This makes the State wholly Republican. I MORMONDOil REPUBLICAN. Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 7.?The offl t cial returns, which will not be material* i i ly changed by the official count, show i that the Repuclicans have carried Utah by 1,000, that being the approximate - plurality of Cannon over Rawlins, De, mocrat,for Congress. The Republicans . will also probably control the Constltu- j ^ tlonal Convention. one republican from texas. Austin, Texas, Nov. 7.?In the Eleventh Congressional District Noonan, Republican, has a majority over Houston (Dem.) All the other districts go Democratic. peculiar thing in maryland. 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. ; two out of the wreck. 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 certain. Of the other two districts. Erdman (Dem.) is re-elected in the Ninth District by a greatly reduced majority and in the Eighth * district it will require the complete returns to decide whether Klrkpatrick (Bap.) oi Hart (Dem.)has been chosen. delaware republican.

Ogden in the Fourth and Robertson in the Sixth over the Populist opponents. Republicans will contest the First, Second and Third Districts. a complete stampede. 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 150,000, defeating David B. Hill after a phenominal campaign. The Congressional delegation which stood 19 Democrats to 15 Republicans1 tn the ftonOTflSS will be 29 Republicans and 5 Democrats in the Fifty-fourth Congress. The State Assembly will stand 101 Republicans to 24 Democrats. The constitutional amendments framed by the late constitutional convention have been carried by big majorities. governor waite defeated.

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.

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.

It must be noted that the present Associate Justice Walter Clark will keep bis seat as be ran on both tickets and got nearly all the votes cast.

Ssmi-cfficial returns from nearly every county in the State indicate that the Foaion ticket, State, Judicial and legislative, put out by the Republicans and Populists is elected by some 20,000 majority. This eives them the State Treasurer, Chief Justice and two Associate Justices of the Supreme Ccurt and five Judges of the Superior Court.

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 Second, for whom there were strong 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.

C., Nov. 3.?Governor 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.
