The returns from the State election
show q complete Democratic victory.
The Hancock electors and our candi-
dates for State officers are certainly
chosen, and it is believed that all five
~t our congressman havo been re-
elected. The only district about which
there is any doubt is the Second (Mr.
O'Connor's) District, in which tho
result may depend upon the remote
precincts, not yet heard from. We
give accounts from tho different coun-
ties, condensed from the full tclc-
graphic reports Of the Ncws and
Courier:

CHESTER, November 81 a. M.-
Only partial returns have been received
from the precincts, but the lowest csti-
mate gives the entire Democratic ticket
1000 majority in this county. The
Republicans supported their Presi-
dental ticket, Blythe for Congress,
McAlilly, the Independent, for the
Legislature, Macoy, Radical, for the
clerk or court, and White for school
commissioner. Tho Grccnbackcrs
hatt out no ticket, and McLanc was
not heard of at this precinct. a large
NUMBER OF negroes voted with tho
democrats, Everything passed Off
quietly.
Only partial returns have been re-
ceivcd, and these indicate that the
Democrats have carried the county by
fair majority. The polls at Sum
merVillc and Dclemars precincts were
closed on account of the failure of the
managers to report for duty. The
closing Of these polls will result in
the loss Of about 1000 votes to each
party. W. Il. Meyers, the Radical
county chairman, sent the followin"
telegram to National Chairman Jewell:
"All the strongholds Of the Rcpub
!1can polls have Deon closed against us.
