po,r,.xn Sent 12-The full proportions OF
enc MAGNIFICENT Republican victory won III uhS
State on last Monday are only now becoming l"ILy
Known. Returns have been received from 4'
towns and plantations which swell Robe MAJOR
,ty over Redman to 20, l5l. There are only seven
teen small towns and plantations yet to near iloih'
md as their total vote amounts TO only a lew nun
dred. it is absolutely certain that the Republican
majority over the Democratic candidate VIII tx
coed 20 600 if IT does not reach 81 00o. The to-
tal vote cast exceeds 142,0 600. The ~" towns
heard from give Robe -, O13, and Rcdman 3e'eoZ
,ith a scattering vote for the Prohibition and
Greenback candidates Some interesting develop
rnents are uromlscd which will so to show the en-
traordiuary efforts of the Democrats to save tu'm-
selves from the terrible defeat when mas o'en
bropobt mon them by Mr.. Blaine's nomination.
