Washington, D. 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.
The Republicans are very jubilant
while tbe Democrats are very much

Republican?, and tbey know It. 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.

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

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.

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

St. Paul, Mian., Nov. 7.?Nelson,

entire Republican State ticket is probably

concede that. Biermann, Democratic
nominee for State Auditor, ran consld '

possible be Las won. Republicans
claim the election of all seven Congress,

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.

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

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.

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

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*

tioaof the State has been exempt from

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. L?ech the declaimers'

A. Bala of Cotton,
A correspoodeot of the Union Times
writing to that paper on the cost of
raising cotton says: "I have made a
few figures on raising cotton which I
will give below. The statement is
made upon an average of Are hundred
pounds of seed cotton per acre in Unloi
County which is a good eatiraate: I
find that it takes $28 to raise and market
a 500 pound bale of cotton, and at
the present prices it will not bring oyer
$26 25. The itemized account below.
This is a three acre average:

The Senate.
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.
