C , Nov. 7.?Tbe election over country yesterday seems to bave been a Republican tidal ware. They have defeated the Democracy in nearly all the States, and have undoubtedly elected a majority of the members of the next Congress. In New York Hill, the Democratic candidate for Governor, was defeated by Morton, Republican,whose majority If about 100,000. The Democrats also lose a number of Congressman In New York. In New York City the Republicans bave wiped up the earth with the Democrats, and Tammany is badly in the soup. The Republicans claim that thev have eh cted all the Congressmen in New York City except one, which is a Democratic loss of several Coogress; men. The Republicans have also carried the States of Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Michigan, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Nebraska, 0bio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and South Dakota by majorities ranging from 5,000 to- 100, G00. in each of the above States tbe Democrats lose Congressmen, which ; insures the next House to tbe Republipans by a good majority. The Democrats bave carried Alaba . ma, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Jvens tucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, Vtifeinia and West Virginia. In sev >; ' srai of these States tbe Republicans >Jalm gains in Congressmen. Tbey claim tbe defeat of Wilson, in West Virginia, tbe father of tbe tariff bill passed by Congress in tbe summer. - Tbe Republicans also claim that i)ireo8,wbo waa running in Breckenridge's old district in Kentucky, is defeated.' Tbey also claim that tbey have eleo'ed two Congressmen in I- Louisiana and two in Maryland. Tbe Democrats do not concede these gains to the Republicans, as the districts el&lmed are very close and it will require an official count to determine the result in them. It seems that tbe Republicans have swept the country, with the exception of the Solid South which remains solid. ana Is the only bright spot In Tuesday's disaster. Tbe Populists have fared equally as bad aa tbe Democrats as they have failed to hold their own in any State. Kansas and some other .SiateiHhat tbey carried in 1892 have - returned to the Republican column. Definite returns have not been received froth some of tbe far Western titates, but It is likely that they bave ; joined In the general landslide to tbe Republican party, and have declared against Democracy and Populists. Tbe Democrats here, including the Chairman .of the Congressional campaign ' committee, concedes that the next House will be Republican by a small majority, but the Republicans claim a majority of about thirty, which figure is about correct.

They have recaptured all the States the Democrats captured from them Id 1892, and Hade great inroads Id several States that* have heretofore been uncompromisingly Democratic, Chicago, Ill? Nov. 7 ?A survey of the returns of yesterday's election this morning confirms the hasty estimates and partial returns of last night. In - the West, Northwest and dn the Pacific coast the Republican landslide seems to he overwhelming, and Id the Southwest tbe RepHblican gains reported are of such magDitude as to suggest almost a revolution. Tbe only ezcepv tious to the rnle appear to be in California and Nevado. Ia tbe former State tbe Democratic candidate for Governor (Budd) ts apparently In advance of Estee, bis Republican competitor, although tbe rest of tbe Republican State ticket seems to be certain of election. Id Nevada the silver party, wbich exists as paity in tbat Sta'e only, has to all appearances beaten the jaepuouciWB, JLfBmacrtuB auu rtguiar Populists, electing its State ticket and Congressman. There is also an element of donbt in Nebraska, where the election of Majors (Rep.) over Holcomb " (Pop-Dem.) Is by no means assured. With these exceptions, however, the tide of Republican saccess appears to be overwhelming. Ohio has given the largest Republican majority in its history. wiplnsr ont not only McRinley's plurality -of 85 000, but g> log above v high wafer mark set by John Brough in 1863 of 101000. It is thought that ' the official returns will show a Repub . 1 licnn plurality of 140,000 to 150,000. Colorado has repudiated Populist doctrines and swung back into the Bepublican coIucd, tltctina a full Republican ticket at>? both Congressmen. Kansas, too, has returned to the Republican faith and Jerry Simpson is trailed under a landslide along with other Populist candidates. Wisconsin has reverted her verdict of two yearB ago and has elected a Republican State government and nine out of ten Congressmen of the same political faith. In Illinois the Democrats have met a crashing defeat. Not onlv has the - State shown preference for Republican candidates as expressed by some 40, 000 or 50,COO plurality, but the Congressional delegation has been turned over almost bodily to the Republicans, Wm. M. Springer going down with his party io tbe Seventeenth District. The city ' of Chlrago, too.has cast 25,000 plurality against tbe Democrats. Tbe Legislature is Republican on joiot ballot and the result of tbe oalloung is a complete reversal of the political situation, Indiana is in fall fa&hion, too. Returns are incomplete,but there seems to belittle doubt that the Republican - State ticket will have from 20,000 to 25,000 plurality and tbe victors will 1 gain four Congressmen. It is significant of the general upset that the elec! tion of Hon. William Holman in the Fourth District ismoretban doubtful and tbe Republlcaos claim that an official count will retire tbe great objector from tbe National Legislature. Minnesota is Republican by 30,000 to . 40,000 plurality .Nelson winulng against the Democrats and tbe Papullsts. Iffl.CI ~ I)Atfc..UlI jmcuiii*u gives a -i-vspuuiiuim plurality of 40,000 and, unless tae official count changes the outlook greaily. the entire congressional delegation will be Republican. It is practically the same . way in Iowa, although the Democrats of the Hawkeje State have the prospect of saving ooe CongressmanHayes?in the Second District. The State of Washington is Republican by I 9,000 to 10,000 plurality, including C >n. greesmen. Id ado'a contribution 10 the landslide is 2,500 plurality and the ConL greasman from that State. North Dakota has endorsed the republican ticket by 1,000 to 3,000 plurality, and in the territory of Oklahoma the Republicans have elected the delegate to Congress by a plurality of 2.500. . So much lor States with Republican pluralities. H ~ * " ' ' v ' !* '' ' ' . TurniDg to those which retain their alleaianca to Democracy Ibt r^ are still evidences of the prevailing trend of) poliMf?l opinion. Arkansas returns a solid Democratic dtlegaMon, but by reduced pluralities. In Kentucky it is possible and everj probeb ? tbat in the Ashland district, heretofore the bulwark of Democracy, will be represented iu the Fifty fwuiib CoDgress bv Mr. Denny, Republican. This **111, however, be due more to disaffection of Breckinridge Democrats than to any growth of Republican sentiment. In Louisiana Democratic pluralities have tit en cut down to such an extent; that Republicans claim two Congressmen, whether upon good grounds or not the official count will determine. / Tennfssee is all mixed up. There aro r>nr Hmrinff rla'ms as to Conaress men, and even the result of the gubernatorial contest appears to be involved in some doubt owing to serious aef?c tioos in middle Teunessee. It can hardly be doubted, however, that the returns will sbow the election of Turney, Domocra\ by a safe plurality. Down in Texas the Republicans for tbe first time bave made a fight with tbe hore of winning, and as a result two Congressional districts, tbe Tenth and Twelfth are in do'ibt. In Missouri the prevailng "drift" is manifest ia reduced Democratic pluralities for the State ticket and claims of Repub leans that they will gtin one or two Congressmen. Mississippi appears to have the lonesome distinction of standing firm ic the Democratic faith. Shs will elect all^ndldatpsof that party by practl call 9 normal maj )ritles.. Montana has not been beard from other than in a vague and indefinite way. Tbe people of that State are interest d In tbe State capitol question more than anything else, but uacb returns as bave been received indicate the election of Hunt, Republican, for Supreme Court Justice and Hmman of the same party ror uongress. This completes the list, and it is not. Iifcelv that the situation . utlioed will he changed materially by the official couot. The Populist vote, which was an uncertain quantity before the elec tiOD, c^*: 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 2.1&7. Later returns wiil not; change these Qgures much. In the First District Howard, Democrat, loses the district toDjvner, Republican, by 3.000 Republican Congressmen are elected in the Third and Fourth Districts by mpj >rities of from 1,800 to 250.

SOME COMFORT FROM CALIFORNIA. !Siti Francisco, Cal., Nov. 7.?Returns received In this city up to 8 a. m. do not materially o&angethe figure*seat, out at 3 o'clock this morning. Budd, Democratic, for Governor still leads by nearly 7,000 votes in San Francisco and Chair man Gould of the Democratic State Committee claims that his plural ity will reach 12.000, whtcn will be sufficient to elect htm, all indications pointlog to a smaller vote for Eates 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 sacrificed in his interest.. It is apparent that the Republicans have elccted six of the Beven Congressmen, Maguire in the Fourth District being the only Damocrat who will represent California in the noT-f P,Anorppa fitatnrna Indicate that the next Legislature will be R-i]>ublican by a good majority. ENTIRELY REPUBLICAN. St. Paul, Mian., Nov. 7.?Nelson, Republican nominee for Governor, la 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 consld ' erably ahead of bis ticket and it is barely possible be Las 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.

Baltimoe, Nov. 7 ?One ot the peculiar things about the election lo this State yesterday Is the fact that the Democratic counties which have secured the largest soareof the Federal offices have gone Republican. Carroll .County, which ha* the Collector of Customs, the bust offici In the State, the special deputy collector and a largp number ot minor offices, went Republican for the first time sines 1866. Harford County which has the Collector of Internal Revenue and more minor places than any other county ia 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 ot offices to thfcir 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.

Detroit, Mich., Nov. 7?The next Legislature of Michigan will be composed entirely of Republicans. The Republican State central comuittee has receivod full returns from every Representative and Senatorial district lathe State and announce positively this afternoon that the Republicans have been eleeted in every district. This result is entirely unex needed. It was not figured on; its tffjetonthe United States Senatorial succession cannot yet be determioed. It looks as if everv county has elected their R^-. publican fcket as well as glviug a plurality on the State ticket. The pluralities in all Congressional distress are piling up and the 6 rati lest majority received bv a R^pubiicin candidate will be 3,000.. x HOLMAN 6TAY3 AT HOME. Indianapoli?, lod., Nov. 7.?Retarns 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 tne eleventh. In the fourth Watson has carried two counties and the defeat of Holman by at least 500 seems sure. In the fifth Cooper has been beaten and in the third Tracewell (Rep.) has pulled 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 returns from tne otuer aiatncis suu meagre. From the figures already received It is doubtful if the Democrats will capture a single Congressman. Returns 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, N. 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 D jmo* crats hope for it, but make no claims. Populist and Republican leaders are very confident. The iltuation looks bad for the Democrats. Indications' are that the tuslon ticket had defeated tbe Democratic candidates in the First, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Districts, making the Congressional delegation Btaad three Democrats, two Republicans and four Populists.

Every county la the State went for Evans except Richland, Charleston, Beaufort and Georgetown, which four counties went for Pope. At 1 o'clock this morning Senator Irby estimated that the total vote cast for Governor would be 75,000. He gave Pope 20,000 of this, leavipg Evans 55,000, and giving him a majority of 85,000. From all the figures that are in and a general knowledge of the connties, a representative of The Register gives the following table as an estimate of the majorities by which each county will go for Pope ?r Evans, as the case may be.

Columbia, S. C., Nov. 9.?The Register thle morning says: Evans' majority over Pope and the result on the constitutional convention question are still in some doubt, aB the correct figures from the various countips could not be secured here vester day. Tbe estimate of tbe Register, however, that the convention will win by a majority of between 2,000 and 3,000 is accepted by nearly all tbe politicians as correct Senator Irby himself says that it is correct. Even tbe opponents of tbe convention are get< ting shaky. The newspaper wbich boasted so loadly on Wednesday tbat tbe convention bad been defeated yesterday expressed doubt as to tbe result. /.Those wbo had. bets oo the defeat of the convention are now tryiog to hedge. All the indications point to a maj ority 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 ont bulletins of tbe election, last night issued a bulletin stating that the total vote up to that time, with a number of precincts to hear from, stood 21,034 for the convention and 21,518 against. This leaves a majority of io>? t.han son t/i overcome -and nearly all the missing precincts will favor the convention. The TVestern,Union pats the vote for Governor up to date at 31,109 for Evans and 16,184 for Pope, a majority for Erans of about 15,000. Tbe missing precincts will send tbat majority to 20,000. A telegram lecelved by the Beglster yesterday from Spartanburg stated that the majority In that; county for EvaDS was 1,250 and against the convention Is 400 less than the Beglster gave In Its estimate yesterday. Tbe betting man can put his money 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 tbe county boards meet on Tuesday of next week. The State this morning says: Everybody yesterday was asking forthe lateet returns From Tuesday's elece tionjwith as much Interest as if it wef w the nig tit or tne election, iui kubxthat tbe voice of the people, freely enpressed?had the votes not been manipolated and the rankest f raud practiced to carry the scheme throagh?was emphaticaly-awlnst a Constitutional convention. Knowing this, all were, of course, anxious to see from tbe figures aa they came lc how tbe majority apparent on the face of the first night's returns, despite the fraud practiced In the election Itself, would be scientifically shaved down. And when they peruse the figures below they will see how It has been done. The State yesterday telegraphed to all its correspodents at the several county seats to wire the complete returns for their counties. Some of tbe "complete" returns, when compared with the totals of the several precincts in the respective counties?accuai azures received from these precincts on tbe night of the election?show a most remarkable shrinkage In the Pope and "No" convention votes, while the Evans and the "Yes" votes show just as wonderful an increase. For instance the actual figures received from tbe towns of Kershaw and Camden and four country boxes on the night of the election showed these totals: Evaos 423. Pope 613, "Yes" 270 and "No" 854. Now the total returns for tbe county, minus four county precincts, as received last night,show these figures: Evans 664, Pope 335, "Yes" 638, "No" 444. This would seem to indicate that there has been some very expert counting going on since the first returns came in. As to the other evidences of fraud all over tbe State, one but needs to refer the special telegrams published below from various portions of the State, and to the announcement of the Republican State executive committee with regard to contesting the Congressional districts. It is need less to summarize tbe evidences here. How It Standi, Washington, Nov. 8.?At 8 o'clock, Mr. Babcock, Chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee gave ont tie following statement Returns received up to tbis bour show that we bave elected over 250 members, witb several other Stales to hear from. We bave carried tbe solid Congressional delegations of twenty-three States, We have carried the msjority of the delegations in thirty Statefe, thereby enabling us to elect a President in case the election should be throws in the House. The returns indicate that we bave secured control of the next Senate by a majority of 1 to 3, without counting the vote of North Carolina, which has undoubtedly elected a Republican Legislature. Cbariman Babcock's fig* ures show that the Republicans bave carried the following States by eolid ' Cangressional delegations: Connecticut, Colorada, Delaware, Idabo, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mon. taua, Nebraska, New Hampshirer, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon. Rliode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, Wyoming, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Marion Butler, the Populitt . leader, claims 20,000. The Legislature . on joint ballot will probably be Fusion. . BalSigh, HT. C., Nov. 8 ?Sami tffi- I cial returns from nearly every countv in the State indicate that the Fusion t'cket, ; State, Judicial and legislative, put ont , by t*io Republicans and Populists is ( elected by some 20,000 msjority. This ( gives them tin State Treasurer, Chief ( Justics and two Associate Jastices of the Sapreme Court and five (fudges of ; the Superior Court. ? Cbirman Butler of iae Populists claims the State by 30,000 and says that 1 LUO JD-U31UL11QIB win uavo a uioj mvj.uu joint ballot. This latter estimate is believed to b3 correct. They- will have tbe Senate Dy tea majority. It is Dot ?et possible to estimate their strength in the House. Only three Daroocrt:c Congressmen have been elected. Woodward in tbe S;coDd; Shaw in the Third acd Lockbart in tbe Sxtb. Crawford is defeated by Pearson in tbe Ninth by a very small majority. missouri's big stump. Kansas City, Mo? Nov. 8.?In the Concessional fL'ht Dickery of the Third, Tarsney of the Fifth and Cobb of the Twelfth are the only Domocrats that have been elected on the fice oi returns. Hatch in the First District clearly beaten by Clark. Halleck in the Second, for whom there were strong hopes until now, has surely gone down, E'lisoa in the Fourth and Heard in the Seventh are * buried. In the Eighth "Silver Dick" Bland's rural constitu ency has given him Che go-by in favor of Joel Hubbard. In the Ninth Champ Clark his been deleated by Treloar of Adriam, a school teacher, with protection tenden cles. Bartholdt in the Tenth, Joy in tbe Eleventh*and Einney in the Thirteenth, swell the Republicans p.nlnmn. The "S vamn Aneel" District of the Sratbeast where only Democrats were supposed to live, have elected Moeely, the Republican candidate. For the first time io twenty-five years the Southeast has tailed to come np rockribbed for the Democratic ticket. Conn* ties 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 Demo* cratic headqurters shows that no por* tioaof the State has been exempt from the shaking up. It is jast as bad down alone; the Arkansas line as it is np on the Iowa border. The Mississippi River counties are as badly "slumped" as Is the tier which borders Kansas. Two yeas ago the Democrats had nlnty-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. Thtlr Board Kfdoocd. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 3.?Governor Tillman returned yesterday after* noon from Clemson College where he has been attending the annual meeting of the directors of that institution. The board, in addition to preparing ?ta nnnnftl ranortfl tor the Legislature, decided oa a number of important matters. It will be goad news to the poor boys of the State who are ambitious to attend Clemson and who are deterred because of the lack of finances 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 Slates. The Trustees think that the price of board can be permanently kepi at $6 a month. Tbe students will be given the same bill of fare as now and will be allowed all they want to eat. The Trustees will call on the Legislature for an appropriation to aid the college next year. It has not been decided what will be asked for but it may be somtbing like $30,000. This appropriation will be necessary tor several rear?n? ia thof t.hn !n?? nf the main OUUOl V UV AO ?UM? building by fire )tbis summer entailed a serious lots on the college. Another is that tbe insitutlon has spent a great deal of money this year in completing the various ouildings which are absolutely necessary to the successful carrying oat ef tbe work to be done. Still another reason is that the income from fertilizer tags next year Is expected to be very much reduced. This is because the loty price of cotton has put the farmers in i such a condition that they will buy little fertilizer next year. The present session of tbe college has been shortened. It was to end December 20 but the board provided for its ending on 30th of this month. The reason for this Is that the heating fa* cili'.ies are meagre so far and the board does not care to take tbe risks of subjecting the students to the results of exposure. By tli3 lime tbe next session opens; iu February, the beating facilities will be impreved. The work of rebuilding the main build* incj is progressing satisfactorily, ana tae building will be ready for use In Fibruary. The annual contests of the Calhoun Society of the college were held on Thursday might, and Governor Tillman expresses him3elf as delighted with the splendid showing madb the boys. The Governor satd that all of the young orators did well, but he is particularly lull of prai3e for a young man named J. S. Garris of Colleton County, who delivered an oratiou on the Bubject of ''Progress in Education." The medal for the best orator was awarded Mr. Garris. C. M. Mauldin won the debaters' medal and J. S.

Washington, Nov. 7.?This morning's returns indicate that the Republicans will galo six United S lates Senators over the number now sitting in that body. Three of them will come from States, which have now but one Senator apiece owing to the failure of Legislatures chosen tvo years ago to elect, Montana, Washington and Wyoming. The other three will succeed the Democrats now representing in part their respect;ve States, Martin in Kansas, McPherson in New Jersey and Camden in West Virginia. The Senate at present consists of eighty-five members divided; Democrats 44, Republicans 36, Populists 3, Silver 2. With changes now apparent the division among the parties will be: Democrats 42, Populists 3, Silver 2.
