OF NEW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: n ALLEN G. THURMAN, C OF OHIO. THE PRIMAItY ELECTION. r The Primary in Newberry County on s Tuesday passed of ''very quietly and pleasantly so far as we have been able to judge. The Herald and News issued an extra edition on Wednesday morn ing giving full returns from aIl the boxes. This table is published in The Herald and News this morning and we think will be found correct. The i contest in the Senate race was strongly fought by both of the candidates and their friends and the ditlbren]c is very small. The ticket for the House is a good one and will refect ercdit on the coun ty they represent. r There is no nomination for County e f Commissioners and Treasurer. The second Primar- will be held on Tues day, September 1i. We hope enough I interest will be taken in this race to = call out a full vote. It is important not only on account of the county officers to be elected, but because at this time will also be held the elec tion for the nomination of a solicitor a for the seventh circuit. Newberry is d part of this circuit and has a prominent candidate in the field for the nomina- . tion. We should remember this and 1 turn out in full force and give Os- r borne L. Schumpert even a larger vote than was polled on the 2Sth for the Senate. The following are nominated: For the Senate, Y. J. Pope; House, J. M. Johnstone,. Geo. S. Mower, R. T. C. l Hunter; Sheriff, W. W. Riser; School Commissioner, Arthur Kibler; Probate , Judge, J; B. Fellers; Clerk of Court, Ii John M. Finard; Coroner. C. B. Buist; a Auditor, W. W. Houseal. There are no nominations for County Commis- I sioners and Treasurer. The following will run over for County Commission ers: J. H. Smith, Os. Wells, Silas Walk er, J. C. Perry, S. B. Aull, Jacob Ep ting, and for Treasurer: J. D. Smith, .1 A. H. Wheeler. c fi Mr. Cleveland's message on the fish- d eries treaty was rather a bomb into the t Republican Senate.

He was met at the depot by ai committee headed by Mr. WV. P. Rus-' sell, the great Ring-Smasher of Char leston, and escorted to the Charlesion Hotel. The committee were ia four carriages, and the iJ roat Reformer was driven rapidly to the lPotel. where a I * small but select circie of the lesser ring -sashers received him and welcomned the reception. t After changi:rg their lans a half f, dozen times, t. a commiitce fina'dy v Spitched upon the Cit;.

The funny part of Mr. Russel's ad , vertisement was that he ca:led his meeting a Democratic meeting, wbgn t as a matter of fact, the D)emoc'a le t Executive Conunittee and its Chair- j man absolutely decPned to have any thing to do with it. it niay be propPer g to explain just here th at Capta'a Till- r~ man was ivited to the recit Demo cratic mass meetinlg by Chairman iEry- e an, under the istaken idiea that he It was a candidate for Gubernatoriai honors. There is .somethiing ve -y fun ny, g too, in Mr. Ruseell '>eing at tue hiead of the Democratic p)a iy, in the face of the fact th-it lie has been in almosti every movement ev'er attemipted in ; this city to disorgan=ze the Demoe .tic u party-except, pernaps, in the Radical b party. In other wo ds, bis lire l'as been h spent in smashing the rings since 1876;. c; Mr. Russell is a great speaker.

The Tillman meeting to-night was a a big and exciting affair. Tne crowd p numbered about 2,.500 or 3,000U persons, 1 white and black, and was evidently v -about half and I alf divided between a Tillman and Dawson sy, p. hizers. n Tillman's spec i didn't to mcch upon ft KStatepolities to any coais'de -:: Jexted L. si It was confined principa 'y to a vigo- C rous attack upon Editor Dawson and r< the News and Courier, and denncia- e: :tions of ring rule in South C'arolhna and si Charleston. Trhe crowd was at first good-humored, and laughed frequen tly (1 at his points during the p)rogress of his r: .speeh. Captain Dawson appeared upon o the platfornm and d emian ded to be heard. si This was agreed to, and Tiilmian, v amid much confusion, finished his si speech. U -While Tillman was speaking, Captain t. Dawson appeared on the platformi and C then the fan ber~n. ThIe 1meting was a: packed with Ti'nmanites, and things d looked squally. There was no bass p drum earthquake, but w 'ile Dawson ft was speaking tbe mai wagoa tried to get through ibe crowd. Somebody shouted, "Shoot the mule!' and one or two men staried to run. The negroes on the outsk;rts of the crowd bo!ted, it *andfor a time a stampede was Inh (at- ' ened.

No one present, however, had any lea that matters would take the turn hey did. Captain Dawson had evi ently been iuformed that Mr. Till ian was handling his name rather romliscuously, and he therefore re aired to the City Hall steps to "vin icate" himself. This naturally made the affair all he more interesting-to the audience. No one can deny, that-if numbers ud enthusiasm are test of success, the iceting last night was a colossal suc ess for Mr. Tillman. There was but one untoward occur ence, and that took place just as Cap aii Dawson was about to conclude hi. enly to Cata*Ia Tillman.

Yesterday afternoon and all I this morning the streets presented a z decidedly lively throng. The Edge- a field and Hampton delegations were ii quartered at Park Avenue Hotel, Barn- a well and Colletou spent the night at v the Ashley Housa.
