der from Attorney General Taft, a pardon

600 Majority.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Congressman
Hoge telegraphs Chandler from Columbia,
S. c., as follows: The board of State
canvassers have finished the count.
Hayes and Wheelcr's majority is GOO.
This is official.
The Times Columbia special says the
for Presidential electors, and at one
O'Clock the announcement was made of
the result. The highest Republican Ell
ector receives 964 majority over the
highest Democratic Elector, and the low
est Republican Elector has 26J majority
over the highest Democratic Elector.
Ten representatives from each political
party were present during the count.
Two Republican and two Democratic
clerks verified the tally lists. The seven
votes of South Carolina are for Hayes in
spite of everything.
The Times special from Columbia s. c.
says the Democrats residing here appear
to be much better satisfied with the result
as announced by the board than the men
sent down from the North to count the
State in for Tilden. All South Carolina
Democrats here hoped for the election of
Hampton. 1t Is probable that this is Sc.
cured, provided the board shall not
he permitted to go back of the
face of the returns. The other State off,
GERS are in more doubt as we'll as the legis-
lature. If Edgeield county, where 1000
more votes were returned than there are
voters, should be thrown out of the
count or the returns corrected in accord
ance with the facts, the whole Republi-
can State Ticket will be elected with o
Republican majority in the legislature.
The decision of the court on the powers
of the board in this regard is expected on
Monday. Meantime they will proceed
with the count of the vote for State off,
GERS.
