somewhat fewer. Mr. Hewitt, however, II was said,

II was evident that the gentleman charge Of these

at from 200 2 900 votes. Their for

ceiyed were uniform, and with little dscrep-

Carolina very meagre and indefinite; but about
that all the counties, excepting four, LOUISIANA
gave majority tor Tiiden OF 1000, and the four not
reported gave democratic majority In 1874 The
thusiasm displayed when this news reached tho
anxious crowd great, and graduation by word

strengthened and before Ave O'Clock several persons
