McMalian and Stevenson Defeated?Second Race for the Other Offices. The State 20th inat. After three days and nights of untiring and sleepless work on the part of newspapers and in. dividuals the returns from the State election, which have boen sc full of surprises from first to last, have been finally secured. The returns given today are official from every county except about e half dozen, which was reported "complete," and there are two boxes in Clarendon, one in Florence, two in Oconee and one in Saluda yet outstanding. The maximum vote was polled for governor 94.802, while that for senator was 93,773, being third in size. Latimei leads out the senatorial race by a good figure, big vote being 22,938, and John Gary Evans come*? second with 17,684, Elliott, Hemphill, Johnstone and Henderson following in the order given. Elliott's advance to third place was one of the surprises of last night. For governor Capt. lleyward has more than doubled the vote of his nearest competitor, Tali bert, who it appears is in the second race with 18,652. Tillman is in fourth place with 16,171 votes and Timmerman brings up the rear with 6,482 votes. Col. Sloan leads out the race for lieutenant governor by nearly 6,000 votes and will make the second race with Gary. Gantt and Wilson will run over for secretary of state, the latter leading out by nearly 3,000 rotes. Gunter has been nominated for attorney general by over 8,000 otes over Stevenson, and Superintendent of Education McMahac is beaten by Martin by 2,00C otes. Frost led the race for adjutant general by a handsome figure and will make the second race with Boyd. Jones and Walker will make the second race for comptroller general, the latter leading by nearly 4,000 votes. For railroad commissioner, Evans, whe is in first place, is doie nnnhftd hw f!?n(*Km?n ? ^ *'J vMugMuiau} mill whom he will rim the second heat. Mobley is in third place. Wilborn is badly beaten. don't agxee. The only other tabulation of the rote made in the State puts Ansel in the second ruce for governor with Heyward as is seen from the following press dispatch sent from Charleston this morning: Complete returns from 41 counties in the State with tho exception of one poll in Florence and two polls in Spartanburg county, which cannot affect the general result, show that Congressman t i? *L- IT-!. ? A^atiiuoi, cuuuHiaie iur me i nueci States senate, received 22,891, and ex Gov. John Gary Evans 18,521 votes, and they will therefore run in the second primary on September 9tb. "Capt. D. C. Hey ward, candidate for governor, has received more votes than any two of his competitors and leads his closest competitor, the Hon. M. F. Anael, with whom he will run in the aecond primary, by almost 19,000 rotes, the tabulating showing: Hey ward 36,598, Ansel 17,668. Congressman Talbert received 17,195 and Col. James H. Tillman 16,342." Hi TIIK SUMMARY. The summaries aro as follows: FOR SENATOR.
