. he Democratic Programme.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-At meeting of the
Tden Reform Club last night, Col. Ferry
made aspeech, closing as follows:
The Democrats, for the past 16 years, have
endured penury and want, and want them to
come to the front. The soldier, who during the
war fought for principle and stacked arms at
the close, should be rewarded; and the men
who have been trodden down in the Southern
states should be rewarded, even if they did
wear the gray.
Col. Love of Connecticut predicted the in
auguration of Samuel j. Tilden, and the ap-
pointment of David A. Wells as Secretary of
the Treasury.
The President Determined to Maintain
Order.
In military and naval circles it is believed
that orders will soon be issued, directing prepa-
ratons to be made for the concentration of a
sufficient force at Washington to quiet all ap-
prehensons felt IN the country of revolutionary
demonstrations occurring to interfere with the
counting of the electoral vote, Of with the in
| auguration of the legally chosen President. Il
may as well be known to all who imagine that
| lawlessness may install President whom the
laws do not elect, that any attempt in that di-
rection will be madness The President, mind
full of his oath, will see 10 it that the Constitu-
ton aud laws are enforced, and will have am
pie powers at his command to do so. No mob
will interfere with the orderly count of the vote
of the states by the two Houses of Congress, or
with the Inauguration of the successful candi-
date.
Gov. Hayes Threatened.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 1S.-The following
statement was made this morning by the State
journal:
Mr.. Amos Eberly needs an opportunity to
| set himself right before the public in a matter
of some importance to his reputation, and we
propose to give him that opportunity. 1t is
| reported TO us by some OF our most reputable
citizens, who are willing to vouch for their
statement, that Mr.. Eberly has repeatedly
| said, in the most public and significant man
ner, that 'if Hayes has 1856 votes in the cleo.
teral college, he will never leave Columbia
alive, by God, can raise 5000 men who will
see to that" and has uttered other similar
threats.
During the day Mr.. Eberly called on Gov.
Hayes and emphatically denied ever having
used such language. He also published card
to the same effect. Geo. f. O'Hara and others
are given as authority, and will make affidavit
that Eberly did make use of the language
above quoted. The affair creates considerable
| comment, all the paities being prominent BUSH

The Official Count Shows the Success of
The ReuuhIicaus

The Republicans.
COLUMBIA, Nov. 18-The result of tabulating
the returns of the county canvassers gives the
state to the Hayes electors by majorities
varying from 23O to 1133.
The counsel for the Democratic candidates
Immediately filed exceptions.
WASHINGTON, Nov 18.-Secretary Chandler
this afternoon received the following telegram
from Congressman S. L. Hage Of South Caro-
lima, dated at Columbia to-day:
The board of state canvassers have finished
the count Hayes and Wheeler's majority is
600. This is official.
Democratic Exceptions to ihe f.esuIt.
COLUMBIA, Nov. 18.-The counsel for the
Tilden candidates take exceptio rs to the aggre-
gates certified by the state canvassers, on ac-
count of alleged irregularities, errors and dis.
crepances between the returns Of the managers
at the various precincts and the statement of
the county canvassers. These errors, it is
claimed vitiate the result.
The court will next direct the board in its
duties as to the final count.
The Vote for State Officers.
The state board of canvassers today tabulated
the returns for all state officers except the Gov
ernor and Lieut.. Governor from the face re-
turns OF the county canvassers, which show
that the vote is close and the results are so
doubtful that it will take the CORRECTION of num-
erous clerical errors to determine the successful
candidates. The returns show that Hayne
Rep., is elected Secretary of State by 227 ma
jority; Elliot. Rep, is elected Attorney General
by votes; Hagood, Dem, Comptroller Gener-
al by 256 votes; Thompson. Dem, Superipten-
dent of Education by 442; Kennedy, Req, by
161 and Cardozo, Rep, by 2OS. Corrected re-
turns will change these results on Monday so
as to give the Attorney General to the Demo-
Gratis and the Superintendent of Education to
the Republicans. Hampton's majority is
about 1144 over Chamberlain.
Official Vote for Electors.
New YORK, Nov. ia Columbia desp atch
to the Times says that when the chairman of
the board of canvassers directed the clerk to
announce the result of the count, chairman
Haskell of the Democratic committee objected
to the reporter of the press being present to take
the vote as declared. Gen. Connor, Democrat
&c candidate for attorney general, also made
some objection. The result OF the electors was
then declared by the clerk as follows:

Gently been converted into theatre. The floor

ing of beams, and directly the entire audtorl-
um, carrying with it the gallery and stuge, was
precipitated into the stables beneath. The rear
portion was partly supported by stalls under
meath, and the audience was thrown forward
towards the stage. The lights were extinguish-
ed by the conclusion and scene of fearful con-
fusion ensued. The fire alarm was struck and
IN few minutes the firemen were on the

Where TiIden's Vote Comes From.

The great bulk of all the enterprising and &C
tive business communities of the country have
cast majority of their votes for Hayes and
Wheeler, and Tilden relies mainly for his vote
on the same section which gave Breckenridge
an overwhelming majority the year before the
war. Gov Tilden can take his stand on Wash
iDgton Heights to-day, and if it were physical
possibility for him to see the Pacific Ocean, his
eye would not rest on a single large community
that had given him majority of its votes; for
the electoral vote of Indiana was carried Tor
him by the preponderauce of an unprogIessiye,
untraveled and comparatively unenlighten9d
population, which has emigrated from IN ,t the
State. All the prosperous agricultural commu-
mites have cast their vote for him. Tilden's
strength lies in sections that have been Bour-
bonized-retroprogress sections inclined to
look back with admiration upon the good old
days of Jackson, Pierce, and Buchanan, and to
regret the decadence of the Republic The fol-
lowing table shows at glance the present
strongholds of the Democrats.
