The Lexington Dispatch Barned April 25th; rebuilt July 19,1894. G. M. HARM AN, Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 26. 1896. The Election. The returns as yet are very incomplete. They rather indicate that it will be neccessary for Evans and Earle to run a second race, but Evans' friends claim the boxes "which have not yet been heard from will swell his vote sufficiently to give him a few hundred votes more than I the combined opposition, it mere is a second primary, the vote in it will be much greater than in Tuesday's paimary, for many thousand Conservatives will turn out and vote then who did not do so, because they did not imagine Earle had a ghost of a chance of defeating Evans. According to the returns Evans lacks 2,212 of a majority. Full re turns will increase his vote as he is expected to get majorities in several counties from which no figures have been sent in. But full returns will also increase Earle's vote. No one can but guess as to whether or not a second Senatorial primary will be needed, it is likely however, that Evans will be elected. Ellerbe is elected Governor by many thousand votes majority. McSweeney has probably defeated Cooper for Lieut. Governor. The returns so far show Bichbourg and Watts to be doubtful, the friends of both claim their election. Mayfield will probably hold his Latimer appears to have defeated all bis opponents in tbe Third Congressional District, Wilson is unquestionably nominated in the Fourth, Strait appears victorious in tbe Fifth and it seems certain Stokes has won in tbe Seventh. Bellinger has beaten Simms in tbe Second Judicial Circuit; Thurmond appears nominated in the Fifth, though a second race between him and Nelson may be necessary; Ansel has defeated Prince in the Eighth; and Shumpert and Sease will have it to run over in the'Seventh. ? As far as some of the candidates are concerned, the county canvass is ended. Perhaps there never has heen a county primary election held in this county before in which so little bitterness was exhibited among the candidates as there was in this one. They worked like beavers in their own behalf, but generally, each one ran the race on his own merits and not on the demerits of his opponent. When the result of the primary was made known mere was of course, some disappointrnent among those who were defeated and much rejoicing among those who sucj ceeded in knocking down the plum which they were after. We trust that the defeated ones will bear their P defeat as becomes those who are determined to bring victory out of defeat, and that they will be found in the front ranks, doing valient service for the cause of pure Democracy. Just as good, pure and patriotic men have been defeated as those who have been elected; but the people have spoken and by their decision we cheerfully bow. The dispensary and other scandals, with which the names of several prominent Keformers are connected, have become a stench in the nostrils of all honest people regardless of factional affiliations. These scandals have been brought to the attention of the people in such a way that they can no longer be laughed off or put aside uncontradicted in the clearest and most unequivocal denial and the most unimpeacb* ? ?j aDie lesnmouj pruuuwu w their falsity. It is clearly the duty of the next General Assembly to appoint an investigation committee with f. power to send for persons and papers whose duty it will be to sift these matters to the very bottom. If Mixson is innocent; if he were not offered a bribe in the nature of rebates, then he has nothing to fear but everything to gain by being completely vidicated. If Govenor Evans is guiltless of receiving $12,000 as brides from Rhand in placing the State bonds and is in no way connected with the several other misdoings, with which his name is connected, then he should be the very first to demand a thorough and rigid investigation of all his official acts both while Senator from Aikin county and as Govenor of South Carolina. Hoke Smith, Secretary of the Interior, having determined to support Bryan and Sewall, the nominees of Democratic party for President and Yice President, tendered his resignation as such to President Cleveland, who is a mugwump of the strictest sect, and it has been accepted. ExGovernor Frances of Missouri, has received the appointment. Mr. Smith deserves many congratulations ; . at his escape from the hands of tie . . gold bugs. I i toi rffc! I?
