' Tho Hottatorial elootion hold August
81st was a quiot ono all over tho State.
In no county was thoro any oxcitomont
80 fat (m tho reports received go. Thoro
was .m^troublo onyw hero. Evory whore
tho votoi'H quietly wont to tho polls and
Ihoy showed by thoir votoa that thoy
had thoir minds pretty woll mado upas
to how thoy would voto in advanco of
tho olcction. Walt Whitman dijl hot
fthtonish nnybody by his run. Hp ro
coivod about 15 votes so far as roportod.
In ono plnco thoy wero not countod.but
Bont to him marked "original paolc
agos. " In Charleston, whilo the total
vote oast was not what it has been in
previous elections, it wont almost
unanimously to Sonator MoLaurin.
Walt Whitman got his biggost vote at
Jonesville, his homo; thoro ho roeeived
eight vatps.
Tho greater portion of tho votes in
the State has been roportod. The ro
turi)8 from missing boxes continue to
como in, and thoy but served to in
crease McLaurin'smajoyity ovorall and
mako his election doubly sure. Most
of the votes yet to bo heard from aro
thought? to bo cast in MoLtiurin's favor.
A caroful tabulation of all tho figures
deceived iiliowa that ,out of a total voto
of something oyer ' 38,001, MoLaurin
?haB received 35,428, 3'Jvans 8,825 and
Irby 4,738. This giyeB MoLaurin a
> olear majority of 11,8&5 vovob over all.
Thb total givon abovo reprosonts a to
t^l voto of something ovor 89,000, inas
much as tho McLaurin actual majority
over all in Beaufort county was usod in
tho 'calculation instead, of tho actual
figures.
Tho voto is practically comploto from
tho eoiinties of . Abbeville, Aikon, An
derson, Beaufort, Charleston, Ohoster,
Clarondon, Edgettold, Fairfiold, Green
ville, Greenwood, Horry, Lancastor,
Laurens. Marion, Marlboro, Nowborry,
Orungeburg, Piekpns, Bichland, Sa

a total of 24 counties. Of these Mc
Laurin irets majority over all in all but
Aiken, Laurens and Spartanburg,
JOllN 1). m'imukin.
Oreonvillo and Newberry may -givo the
opposition a slijfht majority. MoLaurin.
has in fact c/mied nearly oVery county
in the Stnto, certainly .82 or #8 out of
the 40, no matter what the outstanding
vote may bo. lrby has carried Laurens
county by a small majority, aud Evans
has carried his homo county by a ma
jority of 270.

asked as to an expression of opinion
abont the gonoral result, ho said;
"I onterod this raco reluctantly after

inspection of the voto shows that nyt' V.*>
per cent-, of the farmers of thp -wtato

this was the disgust on tho part of tho
reformers with tho present State admin
istration and its deals and dickoriugs

A correspondent of. The Stato at

quotes him as follows: "1 have nothing
to say except that Tillman, pretending
to bo hauds off, has sneakingly come
into tho State and knifed me to tho fat.
I mftdo Tillman what ho is today. I
never asked his support; I did not ex
poct it; I gdvo him crodit for being
truthful when he said ho was handa off.
When he attacked mo in his interview
I called him down by telegrams, in
his answers ho lied liko~a~ do# , but T
was estopped. I made this fight to
protect tho poor people of this' State
against tho ravages of the North. I
expected Tillman \yould help becauso
the poor people in the State made us
what we are. As to MoLaurin, I havo
nothing to say. Ab to Tillmau, ILnut

may expert trouble. All that I ask is
that he give the sattlesnekes notice be

have nothing to eay. "

"Thoro is ono/eaturo of this campaign

Gov. Ellerbo. I felt that ho was mado
the victim merely bebuuso of his rt p
pointinont of mo. I defended him as
best as I could, and my opponents soon
found that Ellorbo needed no dofonso.
I novcr witnessed a handsomer tiling
than the robulco given Colonel Jrby at
Walhalla for his attack upon Ellorbo.
Thoso attacks make my triutei bant
electiou a vindication of Ellorbo as
much no as of mo, and 1 rojoico in it,
because t believe ho hps made a con

At Albany, N. V., Aug. HOth, Senator
Benjamin K. Tillman, ?- 1 ????? k ? ?ijr at a

dwelt caustically upon Htato politics.
Some of tho remarks woro as follows:
"Notwithstanding tlio fact that t ho

his machine, and it was tho most per
fect one over Known in American poli
tics, but ho weiyhod it down so much
that tho plan!; Ilow up nnd on tho other
end camo up another boss, Thomas

'l'ho senator discussed the money
question at some length, and said:
"Thoro is whero we split, mid 11 groat
many democrats' wont. oil'. ?Soino of
them climbed up in a roosting place. "
This allusion to Senator Mill created
loud laughter and applause.

The St. Iionis I'ost -Dispideh printed
a lottor from W. .1. Mryan on the 4th,
tho ) rs ultoiaiieo after tluoo nionlt|H of
travel and observation during the re
turn of prosperity. A in on i^lhor things
he says:
Wheat has risen because the foreign
crop hau been exceedingly abort. The
fact that idlvor and wheat liavo parted
company will cause no dismay to those
who understand that tho law of sup
ply and demand regulates tho price of
both.
Nothing can hotter disclose the woak
m ss of tho Kepublican position than
the joy manifolded by .ilfoJtopublicaiiH
over the events for \Vbieh their admin
istration and their politics are in no
wise responsible.
If the Hopublieans desire to olaim
credit for tho high price of wheat, they
must assume tho responsibility for the
famino in India. A great rise in price
should bo followed in a rise of wages.
Mr, Bryan says that tho joy ovor tho
incroaso of money ? from w heat is evi
dence that wo liavo too little money;
that if the farmers are bonellted by tho
rise in ono of their products, how much
better would it bo if tho riso was uni
versal; that tho price of wheat will fall
when tho foroign doniand becomes
nominal and that the present spasmodio |
riso will aid rathor than injuro the |
cause of bimetallism.
