| 10, OOO-this includes Sumter and Green
counties, where colored Democrats were in
Inundated It overcomes the Republican
majority of 1872, anc leaves the Democrats
1900 ahead. Thirty-seven counties to hear
from will increase the Democratic majority to
5000 or 5000, ono of the largest votes ever
cast in the State. HARRISON, colored Repub-
lican, in the First, Brandford, Democrat, in
the Third, Hays, Republican, in the Fourth,
Caldwell, Democrat, in the Fifth; Hewitt,
Democrat, in the Sixth; and Lewis and For
ney, Democrats, for the State at large, are
undoubtedly elected to Congress.
Williams, Democrat, in the Second District,
is probably elected over Rapier by GOO or 700.
All of Rapier's strongholds have been heard
from, and he loses in these 5000; this leaves
Williams still 800 behind with his strongholds
to hear from. Seven counties yet behind will
average 2 0 each gain for Williams. This
gives Democratic gain of 3 Congressman.
