THE ELECTION! !
4 COMPLETE TRIUMPH!
WHITE And BLACK VOTING TOGETHER

! The election Tuesday, 2nd. passed of
qnietly, with one exception. The tick.
cts in the field were CD the straight
Democratic ticket, and (2) a Republican
Presidential and Congressional ticket,
and the following persons for County
officers: For the S"nate. Ellison S.
keitt; for the House of Representatives,
Jno. G. Wilson. JAS. A. Crotwell and
David B. Lyles. Mr.. Wilson was a
regular nominee on the Democratic
ticket. The Clerk, Sheriff, Probate
Judge and School Commissioner on
this ticket were the regular Democratic
nominees. The County Commissioners
on this ticket were, J. d. S. Livingston,
Saml W. Cannon and Lewis Duckett,
col.
By whom this latter ticket was got
ten up We do not know. Mr.. Living
ston knew nothing of it till the morn
ing of the election. Neither did Mr..
Crotwell. The names of the other Dem
eerats on the ticket were very probably
used without their knowledge OF con-
sent; but this we do not know.
There was also a third ticket contain
ing the Republican Presidential Elec-
tors, the Republican candidate for Con-
gress, and the balance the regular
Democratic nominees, State and Coun-
ty.
The colored people were very much
at sea, and their feelings were expressed
by one who said that he was a Repub-
lican and wanted to vote a Republican
ticket, but couldn't find one, and there
fore he would as lief vote one of the
tickets rs the other. The Democrats
worked hard all day, and whites and
blacks voted together very generally:
At all the boxes good order prevailed
and only one incident happened to mar
the harmony Of the day. While the
whites and blacks were voting quietly
and peaceably at Cromer's Store party
of twenty-five or thirty young men,
said tc be from Laurens County, charged
in on horses without any warning and
attacked the negroes with clubs and
pistols. One negro was killed. The
whites at the polls banded together and
protected the negroes from further
harm. The negroes speak in the high
est terms of the conduct of the New
berry whites, who came promptly to
their rescue. Great Indignation is felt
by the whites as we'll as blacks Of that
community over the occurrence, and
efforts will be made to bring the guilty
parties to Justice. The negro who was
killed, Warren Williams, was a good
negro. With this exception the day
passed off pleasantly, and, as will be
seen by the returns, the regular Demo
cratic ticket received a large majority.
Our report of the vote is not claimed
to be correct; but is as nearly SO as we
can get it at this time. The vote for
Electors and for Congressmen is very
nearly correct; but the other is princ!-
pallY by estimate on the basis Of the
electoral vote. The Newberry box is
accurate; in the others there are some
mistakes-the general result, however,
is about correct.
The State goes Democratic by large
maiority-25 or $4,000.
