Diss Moines, Iowa, Nov. 7. The
story of the election to-day can be
told in a few words. 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.

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.

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.

It is said that salt collects as a
crust oo the top of somo salt lakes, I11
as ice forms on fresit water in the "
winter, lkit certainly this is not so,'"
of the Great Salt Lake, which neith- '
or at the bottoui nor on its shores l'
gives any sign of its saline nature. .
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.
Iu other cases the salt water isjj,.,
pumped front the lake iuto flumes l?\*J ti

or gardens, as they are called, th?ie)|

| t
ic ponds, by solar evaporation, \\ her?^ (
pumping is done it is into a 1 COO-foot ,rs
flume by centrifugal pumps with di- :
rector transmitted power. It bo-[T
gins in the latter part of May, unless '
as was the case this year, the season ,,
is backward. One million gallons a n
day are distributed over the lands of f,
a single company, and this is continued
until the guldens are lillcd to j|
the depth of eight to twelve inches. 0
During the intensest heat of summer j,
extra quantities of Initio are added j
to supply what :s taken up by cvap- e
oration. p
Crystallization begins as soon as | ^,
the soda and lnagnesium are oliminu- 1 c
ted from the brine. These are al v
most the only adulterants. A stick (l
or straw placed in the salt water |,
will in two or three days bo coated (
With beautiful crystals shaped like j(
those of look candy. At the lake re- n
sorts and at certain stores of Salt ^
Lake City various crystalized forms j.
are exhibited for sale to tourists, (j
such as models of the temple, ca- p
ges, otc. f,

the same manner that fresh water j,
congeals ill winter. A f.cum collects f
on the surface, hut as salt is heavier j g
than water, the crystal naturally |,
precipitates to the bottom. The only 11)
ingredient in the water of"the Great u
Salt Lake which so precipitates is v
chloride of sodium, or salt, all the t
impurities remaining in solution.
This surprising fact very much simplities
the preparation of the com- |;
modity for imrket. v
in order to take up the salt crys v
tals which, in the course of a season, [}
form in almost solid mass to the c
thickness of four to six inches and k
sometimes more, the water covering c
them is drawn oil by gravitation. In ^
this drainage the concentrated im- j
purities are nearly all removed, some y
remaining on the upper surface us a ,,
slignt scum, visible under a magni- (
fyiug glass only. 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. When piled, the salt
is allowed to remain until orders are "
receivod for shipments. The winter
rains, instead of disaohing the salt, a
give it a hard, crust that sheds water.

Three For Tillman, Three For

Washington, Novembrr 3.?
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.

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.

Mr. Shell seems to have no dilli

acceptable to tho committees to he

recommendations have gone through
without question, and tho same is

The appointmmit of Mr. Waddill

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

aresouio grounds for the belief that

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

been disposed to interfere witb any
of the Congressmen in the patronage
of their districts, excopt in so far as

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.
Inasmuch as Ibis position of independence
between the two rival candidates
has given rise to reports that
Congressman Itrawley has some in
tent ion of becoming a candidate for
tlm United States Senate I have asked
him whether or not he had any
such intentions. 1ft? assures ine that

Messrs. I .at imer and Strait are for

The Governor roundly abused

They Were Stolen and the
Thieves Melted Them to
Bullion.
Memphis V oiniiu-n i ll.
Tho silver spurs which (Jen. N. B?
!?. Forrest woro through tho civil
war have been stolen and melted into
bullion.
Thcso spurs wore given C?cn. Forrest
by ladies of Mississippi. They
bore tho following inscription:
"Miulu by thimbles donated by tho
ladies of Mississippi and presented to
Gen. N. 11. Forrest."
A number of other valuable relics
of the great cavalry leader have also
been lost. (ion. Forrest was tho re
cipient of honors and compliments
from every source during tho struggle.
Many presents, valuable intrinsically,
and priceless by his possessing
them, were loft to his son,
Capt. William Forrost. Tho spurs
wero especially beautiful. They
were large, of solid silver, every
grain of which had encased some
dett lady's linger, and handsomely
engraved.
The spurs wero lost in transit to
St. I.ouis. Tho American Fx press
Company delivered them to the
wrong party. Tho family will, it is
stated, bring suit for $10,000 damages.
About a month ago Capt. William
Forrest, or his son in law, T. .1.
Bradley, shipped a box containing a
largo amount of the family plate,
including the spurs and other gifts
to (Jen. Forrest, to St. Louis. The
mltlrcss was T. .1. Bradley himself.
Mr. Bradley left immediately for
St. Louis. lie it ml Capt. Forrest
were removing to that cit.v
Calling at the ofliec of tho Amoriean
ftxprofl- Company. Mr. Bradley
was informed that tho !><?x had
already hecn delivered. It was then
ajiparcnt that somo mistake had been
made.
The goods had been delivered to
'i'h >s. .). Bradley, a barber, on North
Sixth streer, St. Louis. A receipt
from him was shown tho rightful
consignee.
A message was sent after the
barber. The latter was absent. Tho
police arrested him a few hours later.
The barber secured his release by
producing a receipt showing that tho
box had been returned to Memphis.
The police wore satisfied and Bradley,
the barber, \va released.
In a few day? the box was seat to
1820 Kennctt place, the homo of T.
J. Bradley, late of Memphis. On
examination all the valuables,
amounting to about ?500, were missing.
The police again sought the
barber. lie was again absent. Do
tectives McOraht and O'Connell of
St. Louis failed to find him out, but
arrested, Pierce Dolan, a barber,
and Gambotta Achord, sou
of the secretary of the American
Jewelry Company, at 415
North Kourth street. They were
held for trial under $1,000 bond
each. Dolan, Achord and Bradley
opened the box in Dolan's room; on
l'ine street, melted the silver and
sold the bullion to AchorJ's father.
Mr. Bradley employed Harry Hill,
formerly of Memphis,and a brother
of Napoleon Hill, to attend to the
matter. The e(press company wanted
hi u to prosecute the St. Louis
Biadley criminally and civilly. 1'his
the attornev declined to do. Tho
- J " " 1
family proposes to hold the express
company liable for the irreparable
loss. It is stilted that suit has been
brought in the United States Court
at St. Lotus by Uapt, William Forrest
for $10,000 damages. The suit,
if not already brought is contemplated.
