Great Political Battle.
The political battle just brought to
a close, so far as the gubernatorial
raop ic concerned, has been probably
the most remarkable in the history
of the Democratic primaries in South
Carolina. When Hampt<5n and his
j followers redeemed South Carolina
from negro domination in 1876?
\ which was, of course, the greatest political
battle^-and.the- greatest political
victory in the history of the State?
that was the fight of a united Democracy,
against scalawag and negrcf
rule. The battle just fought was a
battle by opposing factions in the
Democratic party. There are tnose
?' - i'-? i-' ii?i. At? :
who unti-K uiai uie c^mpaigu <ji
was tiiore remarkable, and in some re-j,
spects it was. But Tillman did not
have such opposition as had Blease?
such united opposition. Even Tillman
himself had declared against Blease.
Returns Slow.
The returns were slow coming in,
owing to several reasons.
In the first place, the vote far surpassed
any vote recorded in a Democratic
primary, going some 15,000
and possibly more beyond the highwater
mark of the past.
in tne second piace, mere were
long county tickets, some of these
being counted first.
There was, in addition, a very slow
count in Charleston, owing to a num'ber
of local conditions. Other big
counties were very slow in the count.
The Charleston vote did not begin
to make itself appreciably known un Hl

the intensest excitement in Charleston
on the day of election, and tlie
News and Courier reported several
fights around and near the polls, and
a great deal of other disorde r.
There were a number of alarming
rumors in circulation on Wednesday
in regard to Charleston, ic being reported
that a riot had occurred a.d
that several people had been k?;ird.
This rumor seems to have gained circulation
based on nothing more than
the fights which occurred in the city
on election day, and the further fact
that the militia of Charleston had
been ordered to be held in readiness ;
in case necessity should arise for it j
to take a hand. There proved to be j

)* The Comity Races.
County returns from the various
counties have been slow in coming in,

definite idea of the f&suits in the va-!

day.
Tbe Herald and News on Tuesday
night issued extras giving the results
in Newberry county. In, the rush of
receiving reports over the telephone,
several errors have been discovered,
but it is hardly possible that the results
announced by The Herald and
News can be changed by the official
tabulation. Owing to two mistakes in
receiving reports, the totals for the
governor's race in Newberry county as
given by The Herald and News \wre
i
not exactly correct. In the reports [iSH
sent out by the News and Courier, B
however, these totals had been cor- I
rected, The Herald and News having I
carefully revised the figures in this I
race on account of the fact that the I
race in the State was so close. After I
a careful revision, on the unofficial a
returns received by The Herald and I
News, the following totals for tne
governor's race in Newberry county
are given:
Blease, i,6i3.
Duncan, 47.
Jones, 1,427.
As stated in the extra issued by
The Herald and News, Goggans and

returns received Dy tnis newspaper, H
