SOUTH CAROLINA.
CRARLEsroN, November ll.-By the
latest corrected official returns, Hamp-
tons majority is ,4S4. The returns IN
dicate that Tilden has fallen much more
behind Hsmpton's vote than has been
supposed. In ten out OF thirty-two coun-
ties, Tilden's majority is 45S less than
Hsmpton's An equal ratio OF loss in the
remaining counties would leave Tllden
less than one hundred majority.
The official msjorities in all the coun.
ties compiled from the returns of tho pro.
cinct managers are given In an extra

counties out Of 81, Tilden's vote WAS 6s7
behind Hampton's. 1t is believed now
that the vote Tor electors will be- very

TO the Editor Of the Herald.
would gladly give you tho
statement you request, but tho official
returns have not been received from
moro than eight counties. The hgure,
given are therefore mostly estimated.
These estimates differ too greatly; 70 re.
peat them in detail would hardly be-
worth your while. You are familiar
with the Democratic claims. The
Republicans claim that after giving the
Democrats all they can plnusbly claim
and accepting their figures In great
majority of the counties, Hayes still has
n majority Of about 3, 200 and Chamber
lain OF sbout 2,lO0, but the Republicans
insist their best information from the
authentic sources, including all the ofiicisl
returns now received or authoritively
reported 10 our executive committee give
Hayes majority Of about 1909
and Chamberlain OF about $50. That
this state has gone for Hayes we have
not the shadow Of q doubt on either Dem
ocretic or Republican showing. On Re.
publican showing we are equally sure ot
the election Of the Republican state OIL
