It was a sweep ing Republican victory, giving to the party the (lovernor, State oOicers and the (leneral Assembly, with the power-to elect a United States Senator to succeed J. F. Wilson. The day was 'piiet throughout the State and the total vote was small. The first returns showed how the contest bad progressed, They told of Kopnbl 1 can gains of four to six t,o the precinct. This gain was kept, and added to the 22,000 plurality of last year, will make up the plurality of 30,000 or more for Jackson for Governor. govkunok oltkkn hai.gk if is. Boston, Nov. 7.?The returns so far received show clearly that Green bulge has boon elected Governor by more than 25,000 plurality. Boston, one precinct missing, gives Russell 38,752 and Greenhalge 29,005; Rem ooratic plurality, 0,7-17. In 332 towns of the State alone Greenhalge will have plurality enough to wipe out the Democratic plurality in Boston, with IS,000 votes to spare. In 1891 Governor Russell carried the 29 cities outside of Boston by 3,000. Up to this hour, there are few figures as yet from those cities, but the returns received indicate that they will be carried by Greenhalge strongly. Returns from 132 towns give Russell 34,988 and Greenhalge 52, 030. The same towns in 1891 gave Ru>seil 37,21 1 and Allen 43,763. The percentage of gain and lo.-e shows that Greenhalge will have in the towns alone 10,000 votes more than the plurality in Boston with nine outside cities to hear from. One of these, New Bedford, gives him 1,364 plurality, where in 1891 Russell and Allen woro about even. Ti.e indications are that the other outside cities will increase Green bulge's h ad by 25,000 or 30,000. Four wards of Newport show a net Republican gain of 54 per cent. A ward in Newton shows a net Republican gam of 32 percent. New Bedford complete shows a net Renubli can gain of 08 per cent. A STAND-OI F IN CHICAGO. Chicago, Nov. 7.?The election to-ilav seem8 to be about a stand off. At midnight the returns indicated that the Republicans had elected the entire judicial ticket and that the Democrats hud-secnrod the county commissioners inside the city The judicial tickot has heretofore been on a non-partisan basis, hut this year the Democrats broke away and nomi nated a ticket of their own, and the Republicans seem to have elected every judicial candidate. The great light has been over the election of Judge Gary, who presided at the trial of the anarchists. At the time Governor Aitgold pardoned the anarchists ho made a severe attack upon Gary, and the fight has been one of Gary against the State machine, with the result that Gary seems not only to have polled the full Republican strength, but to have drawn on the Democratic vote as well. In almost every precinct in the city and county he was from 5 to 10 per cent, ahead of the balance of the ticket. The general result shows decisive Republican gains over the Presidential olection ol' a year ago. mckinmcy's cniKvr victory. Cincinnati, Nov.?The returns from all over the State tiro coming in very slowly, In this county, with 256 precincts, returns have been received from 109, which give McKinley 17,311 and Neal 12,933. McKinlny's majority in Hamilton county tfill roach at least 10,000. Four hundred and fifty precincts out of a total of 2,805 in tho State give Mc. Kinley 75,028, Neal 54,875, People party 2,14.1^ > Prohibition .2,113. ^ c McKinley is running far ahead of the vote cast for Harrison in 1893, while Noal falls short of that east for Cleveland. Reliable returns from the outside counties will be very late reaching headquarters, but judging from those already in at this hour (11 o'clock), indications are that McKinley will have a majority of 50,000. The Republicans have elected the full county ticket, with every candidate for both upper and lower house. NKW .1KI1SEY UOKS WRONG. Tkkntox, N. J., Nov. 7.

Richmond, Va., Nov.?There is every indication this evening that Democratic State ticket has been elected by a large majority, and i.at they will have more than a two-thirds majority in the Legislature. Tho cities of Norfolk. Petersburg, Fredericsburg, Roanoke, Staunton and Lynchburg show good Democratic majorities, while scattering returna front various counties throughout the State tend to tho election of the 1 )omocraiic ticket.

The immense weight of its properties ' is carried entirely in solution, and 01 the question of squeezing the water . out of these ingredients is almost the only one connected with the produc- s tion of salt front t he heavy and beau- | tiful waves. On the eastern shore of ti e Great Salt Lake the recession of the water , during a long period of time has |ri left thousands of acres almost as level 11 as a tloor, and the sun has baked the i " alkaline bottom so that at a little (lis- I tnnee the ground looks like an i in - i ^ inense pond, contrasting with the | deep blue green of the sea beyond. |n There are scores of hundreds of acres !l' of such lields, whereon are harvested vast quantities of crude salt without T any other agency than the annual rise of the water of the lake and of 1 the western winds spreading the saline n iiquid out to dry. These particular \ lands were formerly a depression of 11 the lake. In winter time a light jot j ? tv work or dam is thrown up, which ; is removed when the salt-making ,\ season comes on; the sun and the M' wind do the rest.

B During September the harvest is | tl ready, and it is always greater by t hundreds of thousands of tons than ? the demand. At this time the water has nearly all evaporated, leaving white lields, which look as though covered with a heavy fall of snow, with some of it partially melted. ; ( Along the surface of the gardens j plunks are laid as a runway for the j wheelbarrow (into which the crude v. salt is scooped) front every part of | the field to the center, where cone- ^ shaped piles, thirty-seven feet square t at the base, and about seven feet ? high, are heaped, containing an aver : t ago of 250 tons each. These salt, piles on tho lield of 0110 of the com- > panics, if joined together, end to end would extend four and a half miles. lJeforo gathering with the wheelbarrows, which is .iono by a small army of men wearing colored geggles, a cutter, made of a gang of car wheuls j on a single axle and with sharpened llanges, is drawn by a team of liorBes ? over the Hats, breaking up the incrusted crystals.

Special: The first chapter in the history of the political oven Is in South Carolina, so f?n as they are affected by what has been done or is doing in Washington, ends with the the close of the extra session, and we can form some opinion now as to tho drift of events. It has been known for 801110 ( time that one of the most important factor's in the next political contest in tliat Stato would be the contest between (governor Tillman and Senator Hntler f<>r the United States Senate, and much that has been going on here has bad moro or less bearing upon that contest. IHTI.Hit's KAHI. HICOM GKACH. Senator Butler at the beginning of iliis Administration from bis long service here and personal popularity had a very potential influence in socuring cilices for bis friends, and these appointments wore made apparently without regard to any in iliicitee upon South Carolina's politics. Senator I rby does not seem to have succeeded in making any favor, able impression, and his late course Is practically nlhing Inmself with the most hitter opponents of the Ad, ministration has, of course, destroyed any possibility of his doing anything in the direction of getting ollices for his friends or partisans. Since Scn, tor Hut let* has cast in his fortunes with 1 In- enemies of the Adniinistra tion on the silver question he has , naturally weakened the claim which , otherwise he would have had upon it, and it is doubtful now whether he ! will urnr the appointments to ollieo of those whose principal claim lies in the f id that they are putisuus of his j ami thai their appointment won hi [ promote Irs re-election; and as thai 8oeim.il to he the principal ground ti poii which it was expected lm would secure the appointment of Mr. Terry as collector of internal revenue the ' chances <'f Mr. Terry's appointment seem to have very much diminished. i.an mi::: ami si unit kounkkd our. t The altitude of the different members of Congress from South ? Carolina towards the Administration is somewhat complicated. It will , be remombered that early in (lie . spring there were several interviews | between members of the delegation I and the Postmaster (leneral on the subject of the postollice appoint, incuts. All of the members of Congress from South Carolina partici* pated in tiiese interviews, except Mr. , Hrawloy and Mr. McLaurin, who p were not present thereat. The most I determined to light seemed to ho j against Mr. Latimer, who, as the an, thor of the May resolutions, seemed j to lie a good target. Of all that has , been said and done with respect to ^ the postoflicos in his district it would probably be impossible to toll j tbo story. It was found tbatanum. . her of the moil whom he had reoom! mended to officer wore charged with j being Populists, but it seems that the , question us to his right to control ( these appointments was never finally , settled against him until within the i i lust, few weeks, when the publication J of his letter in the Columbia Regis ter seems to luivo given him a coup ( tie grace. Air. Strait seems to bo pralically in the same boat, as both Sir. Latimer and himself seem to have taken occasion more than once while in j South Carolina to proclaim thoir hos p tility to tho Administration. f si i Mil., tai.llKKT and m'j.AU iii n ii a vic ^ had a pui.l so kak. Mr. Shell seems to have no dilli cully practically in securing the ap- ! pointmonts of such postmasters in 1 his district as ho has recommended, i r lie has adopted the policy generally! | of recommending parties who are acceptable to tho committees to he served, and in all such cases his recommendations have gone through without question, and tho same is true to a large extent with respect to Mr. Talberi; and lately it appears ' that Mr, McLaurin is in the same . boat with tho two last named Clou gressmcn. Senator I hitler has endorsed all * Iho recommendations of Messrs Shell, - 'l'? 1 I 1 ... I M I liiiueri iinii ,\ici .iuirin. ) i in: \va ddh.l s< a \ daL. The appointmmit of Mr. Waddill as postmaster of J Darlington has s caused a great deal of comment here as it seems to indicate some sort of an alliance between Senator Butler and Mol.aurin but it may be that it * luis not the significance which has ll been given to it, It is said that Waddill is now a Butler man though t originally a Tillmanito. As it appears to an outsider, howor, it would seem that in so far as the postofhee appointments a: j concerned there aresouio grounds for the belief that ^ there is some understanding of a friendly nature between Senator r?

Taking the ground, early in the Administration, that none but Democrats of unques-. tinned fidelity to the party shotnd be appointed to any public otliee in South Carolina, ho has not swerved front that position, but lie has not been disposed to interfere witb any of the Congressmen in the patronage of their districts, excopt in so far as bo has been compelled to protest against certain appointmants on tho ground that the person named woio more in sympathy with the I'opnlist party than with the Democratic party, and in all suehotses bo has presented to the departments stu li objections as the people affected desired to present.
