in Other States.


in Other States.
The election on the 2nd inst. resulted
in Democratic triumph i'll South Caro-
lima. There WAS no opposition except
i'll the counties of Berkeley ard Chester
field, where there was an IL dependent
ticket, and in the Seventh Con uessionr |
District, where the contest was between
Col. VIM. Elliott, the Democratic nomi-
nee, and Robert Smalls, the negro in
cumbent.
The Democratic ticket won in BerkC-
Icy, as also in Chesterfield. Latest re-
turns assume the election Of Col. Elliott
over Bob Smalls.
OTHER STATES.
Great interest all along ccntcrcd on the
city of New York, where there were three
candidates for mayor. Henry George,
the we'll known writer on political econ
omy was nominated by the Irving Hall
Democrats. The Tammany Democrats
nominated Abram S. Hewitt, whose ser
vices i'll the campaign of 1876, and for
some terms i'll Congress, have made him
prominent III the party. The Rcpubli-
cans nominated ThcO. Roosevelt, Il veal
thy young man who distinguished him
self III his three years service i'll the State
Legislature by active efforts and great
success III reforming long standing abu-
ses Ill the Government Of New York
City. Few persons seriously thought
that Henry George would be elected, but
that he might receive votes enough to
make the contest close between other
candidates. 1t was thought his votes
would be drawn principally from the
Democrats. Both Democrats and Re
pubicans were confident Of success.
The probabilities, however appeared to
be i'll favor Of Hcwitt'S election OF the
Mugwump papers, the Post has vigorous
ly supported Roosevelt. Eighteen out
OF twenty four aldermen elected are
Democrats The city complctc, with the
exception of one election district, shows
the following vote: Roosevelt GO,392,
Hewitt 90,29G, George 81, 500, Wardwcll
574.
In other States the chief notable re-
suits are the changes III the Virginia
delegation, which will stand six Rcpub-
leans, three Democrats, and one Labor
man. In the eighteenth district of Hi
nols Morrison is defeated by Jchu
Baker, Republican-owing, it is said, to
Morrisons frce-tradc views. 1t was at
first thought that Speaker Carlisle was
defeated by George II. Thoebc, n wood
carver and Knight of Labor; but the
last returns give Carlisle the victory by
a few hundred majority.
