VOL. XXII, NO. 34 DARLINGTON, S. U., THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1895 WHOLE NUMBER 1,072 TUESDAY’S ELECTION. THE REPORTS NOT ALL IN, BUT WAS A TAME AFFAIR. The Straight Irby Primary Ticket Thought to be Elected in Mott of the Counties. IT Columbia, S. C., Aug. 91.—The gener al election for delegates to the consti tutional ^invention which it to held on September 10, waa held in South Caro lina yesterday. As a general thing the tickets nominated In the sereral coun ties by the democratic primaries held two weeks ago, were voted for in this election by the white people. In Are or six counties the negroes put out tickets, some of them solid black, oth ers with some white republicans on them and still others with part anti- Tillman democrats. The strongest showing they made In any county was in Richland of which this city is the county seat. Here the straight-outs or anti-Tillman democrats did not vote generally and the result is close, al though the white ticket will win. In Sumter county, the anti-Tillmanites and conservatives reformers ran a tick et in opposition to the Tillmanitea nom inated at the primary and snowed them under. In several other counties the anti-Tillmanites put out tickets at the eleventh hour and being unorganized the indications are that none of them have been successful. In many coun ties in the state, the reformers and con servatives were both represented on the regular ticket and there was no op position. The results of yesterday’s election will be that about two-thirds of the convention will be composed of reformers, or Tillmaultes, and that from Georgetown and Beaufort coun ties there will be two or three republi cans. So far as heard from, the elec tion was one of the quietest ever held in the state and the vote cast was very light The anti-Tillmanites, who made no fight against the primary nominees generally refrained from voting.

The bull fight was to have come off in the Mexican village quite e large concession in the exposition trrounda The exposition management had nothing to do with the fight and knew nothing of the proposition until after it was being talked of by the papers of the country. The matter has brought tha exposition into such disagreeable notoriety and has caused so much unmerited censure that President Collier decided that eo far aa the exposition waa concerned tha bnll fight would be disposed of yester day. At the meeting of the board yes terday afternoon he called the atten tion of the directors to the great amount of talk that waa being indulged in concerning the fight end said he favored the exclusion of the fight fronf the grounds. “It la not our matter,” said he, “It ie an enterprise with which we have nothing to do, save granting the con cession, and the bull fight has been confused with the exposition. I was told thst the fight was to be nothing but an attempted reproduction of a Mexican bull fight without bloodshed or hurt to man or boast. I believed it wonld be nothing more. Since investi gating the matter, I find it will be im possible to give such a representation without cruelty to animals The horses may not be hurt but they will be frightened elmoat to death. I do not wish the public to get the impres sion that the exposition is fostering or furthering any sueh scheme as a bull fight. Such an idea wonld be greatly injurions to us Having a real bull fight would be the last thing I would think of sanctioning in connection of the exposition and how such sn ides could have gained such a general cur rency I cannot understand." A resolution was adopted instructing the president to notify tha concession aire that the bull fi/ht will not be per mitted on the grounds There will be a lively kick from the cbnoeasioniare. ae bis arene is almost complete and the bulla are ready for shipment to Atlan ta. The graduate of the bail fighting school at Seville, Spain, was among those who hod been engaged to come. VALKYRIE ARRIVES.
