FOOLISH CHARLE3TON. Many of Her Muslnefld Mo.. Vote for ( Mclvlnley. I Charleston, S. C.. Nov. l. Bryan ; carried Charleston County by a plu- ^ rality, but not by a majority of all the votes cast. The figures, so far as tab- 1 ulated, give the regular National ' Democratic electoral ticket 1,-180, while the three other electoral tickets in the ' field?the two straight Republican ' tickets and the Palmer and Buckner ' ticket?if their supporters had concen- : trated their forces on one set of names, ' would doubtless have given a majority j against the Democratic standard-bearer, as aggregated, thev make a total of 1,711 votes against him, a diller- ( ence of 225 votes. The Palmer and Buckner ticket ran behind the strong- 1 * " - T? t_i; _ 1 : est 01 ine two jvepu oiicau oaiuiai tickels as well as behind the Bryan ticket It is evident, indeed, that more of our former national l)emo- ' crats voted directly for MoKinley than was included in the number of those who stopped at the J 'aimer and Buckner half-way house. Of the vote so : far tabulated, the highesl aggregate of the old-time Republicans is undoubtedly found in the sum. of the : 'ah MimiiQv on/1 rinlipn thfi V Utto UCWU -.vi iUUl 1UJ MUM wuw*.) two Eepublican candidate for Congress ! as against Elliott, the Democratic candidate, the number of which is S81. Take this number from the total of 1.711 votes cast for the three opposing electoral tickets, and we have G30 left, which would seem to be the number of our former Democratic citizens who saw fit to vote directly for Major McKinley. This result is not strange, considering the bitterness of the fight, both open and avowed and secretly, which has been made here against * Bryan. It only tends to illustrate the 1 fact that the balance of power having been removed from the hands of the ' colore^, voter by the operation of the 1 new Constitution and election laws, ( the white voters will naturally fill J apart and divide up between the two ' great parues, as meir upiuiuns ur inclinations may dictate. Nor do 1 ( think this result by any means untie- j sirable. It seems to me that there would be less rancor and bitterness J than has marked the course of our * family jars in South Carolina. In the meantime, it will be interest- 1 ing to obs9rve who here will come in * for the Federal patronage under the j regime of President McKinley, if his ' over-claimed election should indeed ^ be assured. It is more than probable ] that of the GOO and upwards of former ^ Democrats who voted squarely and flatfootedly for McKinley, there will be some promising neophytes who will appear at the front when the spoils of office are ready to be ladeled out. . Will Dr. Crum, of the Republican Regulars, for instance, again receive the appointment of a Republican Pres a ident to the local postofiice, only to be finally defeated by the retention of : our present model, politic and economic postmaster. Or will the new ^ aspirant and convert, who is spoken of on the quiet as yet and who seized * opportunity by the forelock recently i to put himself on record by ernphati- i cally denouncing Bryan and his asso- : ciates as "anarchists," intervene and carry olF the place from both? But J this is matter for the future. Major McKinley's election is not as- } sured up to the present writing, and as ^ time passes it become more doubtful 1 and uncertain hourly. Last night's * dispatches, as summed up in this morn- s ~ -kt ~ ^ -j_ ( log s mews anu courier, uppa.rem.ij , gave everything to McKinley and * were calculated to make the hearts of ? his stoutest supporters sink. For hours last night the representative * crowds gathered in front of its bulle- s tin canvas expressed their feelings as * it flashed the doctored news. With 5 rather a dim and uncertain light be- 1 fore their eyes?the McKinley contin- { gent, colored and white, coming out j strongest as it continued to give McKinley majorities, in the main; the ( Palmer and Bucknerites emitting a j feeble sound once only, and that when : the venerable countenances of McKin- 1 ley's decoy ducks were thrown on the J canvas; and the Bryanites, who divid- 5 ed the crowd nearly equally with the 1 former Democrats and colored Repub- 1 licans, giving full vent to their pleas- 1 ure at long intervals, when some 1 piece of good news for their candidates ^ i ?- ? i- ii i ii s was voucnsaiea 10 mem uy me une- . sided canvas and its nbws venders. At f the clubs and other points in the city only news of a similar character was j to be "had, and the McKinleyites, \ one and all, were wild with joy. But, oh! what a difference in the * morning. It was early apparent to ? those who calmly compared the claims \ of the Republicans, even with the dis patches upon which they were based, c that they had overdone the business. e The News and Courier had put North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Nebraska, Indiana and Missouri in the Mc c Kinley column, and as one after an K other of these in succession had to be ^ given up to the Democrats, the faces c and tunes of the people on Broad v street this forenoon underwent a sin- a gular change. Those who had sung c nosannahs during the night began to look anxious and doubtful, while the Bryanites plucked up courage wonderfully. When The Register arrived at noon with Chairman Jones' declaration, which had been carefully excluded by our morning daily, that the Republicans were in charge of the news avenues and were playing a "bluff" game, many were found ready to believe him. And the end is not yet- It is safest not to whoop until one is out of the woods. Jamks II. Moore, in Columbia Register. Fatal Fire la New York.

Qrrrnvillk, S. C., Nov. 3.?Green rillo broke her record in crime last light when about 10 o'clock three hugs with drawn pistols held up a white man within sight of Main itreet and the station house, and robb id their victim of $105 in cold cash, naking their escape with ease. C. B. Morgan came here from Henderson rille a few days ago. Having beer >ut in the country some seven weeks jeddling leather and apples, he accu nulated a large sum which he care essly carried about on his person. Chis fact, he thought, was known on y to his immediate associates. Lasl light he left Morgan's lot, where hf tnd his friends were camping, anc went down to call on Alderman Maclonald. On returning he was met in ront of T. B. Whitmire's residence, jorner McBee avenue and Academj itreets, by two highwaymen, whe i r? /II *v> 1 r?

A ihort, stout man, marked with a red landkerchief, walked in front of Mor jan, leveled a pistol ia his face and ;aid: "By G? hand over youi noney." For a moment Morgan was ipeeehless with surprise, but quickly egaining confidence, protested he had 10 money and shouted for help. Bui le spoke only once. Two other ruf ians, tall and lank, stealthily bul luickly stepped up behind the victim ind gave him such a wrench aboul he shoulders that he stopped shouting ,o seek the faces of his new assail ints. But they lost no time. Pre ;enting Morgan a view down the bar els of three cocked revolvers thej lemanded his silence while in a monent they rifled his pockets. Thej hen iled down Academy streets to vards the river and that was the lasl ieenofthem. The hold ud and rob >ery was all done in less time than il akes to write it and Morgan was lell lum foundered. As quick as thej eft he yelled again for help and Mr. Whitraire ran out to his assistance ind showed Mr. Morgan to the police station. Chief Kennedy was not al he station at the time but Sergeant rlall immediately began work on the :ase. Up to a late hour last night his fll'orts were unsuccessful. - -News. l-'eedlDf; Calven.

The Democracy Will Fight It Out if It ] Tukcti Ten Tears. i The result of today's election will f s not be known until the ballot boxes 1 1 have been closed tonight. We have * 3 a quiet confidence that Mr. Bryan will * 5 be chosen our next President, and 1 " that the voices of a majority of the ( " States and of the people will bo found 1 to have now given the policy he repre- 1 sents their indorsement. But this is, 3 of course, uncertain. The power of ' " gold is great and has been unscrupul- 1 ously used. It has been sufficient to 1 i turn many Democrats to Republican- s t ism. It has induced the national ad- ' ministration to use its influence and ( 3 its patronage against the party to 1 3 which it owes two terms of power. 1 ' McKinley may be elected. 1 ? There is no uncertainty, however, ] " about one fact. If Mr. Bryan should J go down before the Republican army, s > swelled by mercenaries and aided by j J Democratic deserters, the principles 1 1 he represents, the cause lie has so ably ? and so bravely upheld, will not fail ^ t with him.

I The doctrines embraced in the Dem3 ocratic platform have been untruthful' ly represented as novel and revolution1 ary. They present issues that have been before the people and contended for at the ballotbox for years. Will 1 it be claimed that the sovereignty of 1 the State is a new and radical "idea ' and a departure from Democratic prin 5 ciples? The most distinguished Demo' crats that ever lived have been its champions, and while it no more justi1 fied secession than opposition to a form of government justifies the assassination of a ruler, it is the bedrock t I of that constitutional limitation and g separation of the powers of the several a ' branches of the government on which c | the Union is founded and which makes e it inseparable and indesructable. Was George Washington revolu- j. tionary when he said. "Not only the j. | Constitution and laws must strictly r govern, but the employment of the ^ [ regular troops be avioded, if it is possi- c L ble to effect order without their aid?" . s Is opposition to government by in- r ; junction such an onslaught on the r j supreme court's infallibility that the t ' country should stand aghast at it? c Were Charles Sumner and Koscoe * Conkling tainted with the poison of t anarchy when they challenged the ^ supremacy of the court over the legis s lativepowor? Was Abraham Lincoln t] L chargeable with a desire to cast down ^ l the judicial structure when he declared j that "if the policy of the government uDon the vital questions affecting: the ' whole people is to be irrevocably fixed ^ by the decisions of the supreme court ^ 1 the instant they are made, as in or- ^ . dinary litigation," the people will . have practically resigned their govern. ment into the hanJs of that "eminent tribunal?" Besides, is not the absurdity of the , electioneering claim of a sacred chaj racter for supreme court made apI parent by the object lessons cf "pack ing" the judges for special objects, of ' i, changed decisions and of the adverse , judgment on an income tax, upheld r by the court for years, secured only > by the weather cock shifting of a t single judge. The free coinage of silver. Is that I an issue that will "down?" Has not the use Of silver been an agitation before the people for years? When sil' ver was in coinage were not the bank5 ing interests, arraigned by Thomas r Jelferson as "more dangerous to our I liberties than standing armies," restt less in their conspiracies against it un til they drove it out? As soon as silt ver was beaten, did not the business i and labor interests of the country agit tate, till measures for its relief were ' adopted? Did the banks and Wall strefit. and the nowers behind them. cease to agitate in their turn until t such measures were swept away? i Is the income tax anew proposition? ^ It has been the law before, sustained a ' by the infallible supreme court, and 1 ably championed by John Sherman. ? t Of course, it has always met the en mi- t ty of possessors of large incomes, t t which, under the unequal system of c t taxation, pay no tribute whatever for c r government protection. Is it likely i that this plank in tbe Democratic plat- a > form will be abandoned if Mclvinley s should by chance be elected? 1 ? No; whatever may be tomorrow's S result as far as candidates are con- v > cerned, the cause of which Bryan is 5 ! the brilliant champion, the principles v of the true Democracy, cannot be n I killed.

Simon Bolivar Buckner were nominated for Presilent and Vice President, respectively, oy the bolting Democrats at Indianipolis, we ventured the prediction .hat by the close of the campaign they would be objects of a/most universal :ontempt and ridicule. We think we may say this morning that our srophecy has been fulfilled. At no time during the contest have ;hey been seriously considered for the slaces to which they pretended to as aire. It has been understood on all .ides that their candidacy was absurd; ,hey never would have been considered for the faction of an instant by in? mnvention renresentinc a real iarty;they were performing simply is decOys to trap timid and unwary democrats and deliver them to Mr. lanna to swell the triumphal proces;ion of McKinley. Nobody has regarded them with respect. No one las contributed to their fund except as i means of promoting the Republican sause. Nobody wanted to elect them. Nobody has olFered them the poor ravesty of reverence and honor. They lave gone through the country, a ;ouple of transparent montebanksand nummers. Robert Macarie and Jaclues Strop themselves were not more mpudent imposters. It seems incredblethat they could have expected nore than half contemptuous toleraion, yet oftener than once they have esented it with a fury thatmadethem >nly more ridiculous. They have, in act, saddened us with the thought hat out of more than seventy millions >f people they only have failed to relUzpi thfiir nitiful nredieament. McKinley will be elected, and he vill administer the alFair of governnent as best he can under the condiions that beset him. Bryan will be lefeated and will return to private ifo, conscious of having made the nost gallant and most brillitnt fight that man ever made igainst overwhelming and unconlurable cdds. Both will be shrin:d, the confidence and the respect of hose who have followed them hroughout. Both will b8 recognized >y all their fellow-cttiz3ns as genuine ;ladiators in a genuine arena. But hese poor puppets, these make-believe hamDions of a tinsel cause?they vill, along with their beggarly retiiue of allies, the Bynums, the Cockans, and the sulking Ilills, pass from he stage without one cheering word >r pitying tear, fortunate beyond heir best deserts if they be forgotten itterly.

Cotton Bale. Perhaps the oldest bale of cotton in he world was purchased last Wedneslay by Mr. Allen Fleming, of Flemng & Foster's Compress Company. ?he cotton was grown in Laurens ounty, S- C., in 1834, by an old man >y the name of Watts. The cotton, hough old, was snowy white and not he least tinged with yellow. It was a :uriosity to the cotton men of to day md attracted considerable attention. The bale was of the usual size and was >acked in a coarse home made cloth voven from old rags into a sheet. The ies which held the bale together was nade from grape vines and were as iard and taut as raw hide thongs. The sotton has been in the family ever ince it was made and dumped from he cotton press into the y ard. It was hen taken into the old barn where it las been safely sheltered from the weather for more than sixty years, idr. Watts, though fairly a rich planer, refused to sell the cotton at any >rice. Old man Watts after his crop >f cotton was ginned and baled in .834, one was set a side from the enire lot, saying to his son at the time: 'I may be a poor man when I come o die, and in case I am, I want that >ale of cotton," poiating to the paricular bale, "sold, and the proceeds ised to defray my funeral expenses." ?he years rolled by, he continued to idd to his wealth, and when he had ived his allotted time he was pretty veil fixed in this world's goods, and he cotton was left unsold. Some ime before Mr. Watt's demise he took occasion to remark to his son that in ase the cotton was not used to keep it n the family, guarding it carefully nd not to sell it under any circumtances except for funeral expenses. ?he bale was then taken in charge by oung Watts and was more carefully matched by him than by his father. Ir. Watts, Jr., was industrious and 7hen he crossed over the river it was lot necessary to dispose of it to pay he expenses of the funeral. Be ore the young man died he made will to his sister, and in that will it ras his expressed wish that the pi e:ious ale be disposed of cnly for the puriose of obtaining money to pay her uneral expenses if it be necessary. Vhen she died she was wealthy and be cotton was not sold. Miss Watts ecently died intestate and when the nal winding up of her estate was lade the cotton was put on the markt and sold.?Augusta Evening News Measuring an Acre.

Chicago, Nov. 5.?Chairman Washburn closed the Chicago headquarters of the People's party national committee tonight and will depart for his home in Eoston tomorrow morning. ; In about ten days he will go to Washington to confer with Senators Jones and Butler in regard to the future polJ icy, of the allied silver forces. In this ! connection Mr. Washburn said to a , reporter for the Southern Associated ' Fress: "As a result of tne presem campaign we find victory in defeat. The fact that so much was accomplished in so short time with our lim; ited means, inspires the belief that we can win four years hence. We were confronted with a united army and an unparalleled campaign fund, while our own forces were divided, with secret forces in our midst as well as fu1 sion difficulties and the amalgation of 1 opposing forces to contend with. Mr. Bryan made the greatest campaign recorded in political history and stanc's | unrivaled as a leader. Revolutions never go backward and the momentum of this campaign will be continued by the allied silver forces. "I believe this election will result in ' separating the gojd chaff from the silver wheat and force the traitors in the silver ranks to unite with the llepub licans, where they belong. It is worth all our effort to shake off these barna cles and start afresh with renewed hope. In order that all the elements ; constituting the movement?the silver 1 Republicans, the silver Democrats and the Populists may be satisGed, it may become necessary to merge all these 1 forces into one great army under a new name. It is rarely that a new great issue succeeds under an old par1 ty name. "We begin the congressional fight 1 of 1898 and the presidential fight of 1900 tomorrow. We shall have a conforanna nf ftni> nalinnal lpaflprs wit.hin a short time when the plans of the contest and the policy of the future may be determined upon. Let no one believe that silver is defeated. The movement is simply puriGed and regulated. In a new form, with new hope and vigor and with the gold bug traitors eliminated from the movement we emerge from this contest stronger than ever, to march forward .to the victory which awaita us." William to Mark. New York, Nov. 5.?The following telegram was received by Mark A. Hanna from Major McKinley tonight: lion. M. A. Hanna, New York: Canton, Ohio, Nov. 5, 1896. !

They were most generous and effective, and will receive the warm approbation of your i countrymen everywhere. I will be pleased to have you convey to your f^sociates of the national committee > iny high appreciation cf their efficient . services. The people in their majesty, ignoring party lines, have declared their destination of repudiation and i dishonor in whatever specious guise they may be presented. They have with the same mighty power affirmed their devotion to law and order and i their undeviating respect for justice and the courts. They have maintained ' their unfaltering determination to support and uphold the constituted aui thorities of the country, and have ' thereby given new vigor and strength to our free institutions. They have indeed consecrated themselves to country and baptized the cherished ordinances of free government with a new i and holy patriotism. The victory is not to party or section, but of and for the whole American people. Not the least of the triumphs of the election is > the obliteration of sectional lines in the republic. We have demonstrated to the world that we are a reunited i neople in purpose as in name. We have manifested in the great cause the spirit of fraternity and brotherhood that should always characterize our common and equal citizenship, and have proven conclusively that in a country of *qual privilege and equal opportunities the insidious doctrine oi hate or of class or sectional distinctions cannot prevail.
