SOUTH cARoLHgA
Has three Republicans in her deleqation Of
.. The returns are not definite enoupb to
enable rs to reach definite conclusions
Wade Hampton and the present State Off
GERS are elected without opposition, and the
probability is that everything has gone
with them.
everything turns upon the election of Hi
ram Price, who was elected in October and
again now, with scrupulous regard to law.
But as there is a contest about alleged ir-
regularities, and there is Democratic ma
jority in The House, Price as Republican
will be probably counted out.
MISSOURI.
Returns indefinite and results doubtful.
But little to expect.
KENTUCKY.
The returns indicate the electioe of two
Republicans. The whole ten in the pres
ent Congress are solidly Democratic, so
that there is q prospect of so much gain.
