The election on the 2nd inst. resulted
in Democratic triumph in South Caro-
lima. There was 10 opposition excep'
in the counties of Berkeley and Chester
field, where there was ali Independent
ticket, and in the Seventh Congresslont
District, where the contest was between
Col. VIM. Elliott, the Democratic noml'
nee, and Robert Smalls, the negro IN
cumbent.
The Democratic ticket won in Berke,
ley, as also in Chesterfield. --latest re-
turns assume the election Of Col. Elliott
over Bob Smalls.
OTHER STATES.
Great Interest all along centered on the
city of New York. where there were three
candidates for mayor. Henry George,
the well known writer on political econ
omy, was nominated by the Irving Hall
Democrats. The Tammany Democrats
nominated Abram S. Hewitt, whose ser.
vices in the campaign Of 1876. and for
some terms in Congress, have made hlnl
prominent in the party The Republi-
cans nominated Thco. Roosevelt, a veal
thy Young man who distinguished HIM
self in his three years service in the State
Legislature by active efforts and great
success in reforming long-stanGlnS abu-
ses in 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
publicans were confident of success.
The probabilities, however appeared to
be in favor Of Hewitts election. OF the
Mugwump papers, the Post has vigorous
ly supported Roosevelt. Eighteen out
of twcnty-four aldermen elected are
Democrats The city complete, with the
exception of one election district, shows
tie following vote: Roosevelt 60,392,
Hewitt 80, 296, George 81, ,699. Wardwell
574.
In other States the chief notable re-
suits are the changes in the Virginia
delegation, which will stand six Repub-
icans, three Democrats, and one Labor
man. In the eighteenth district OF Hi
nois Morrison is defeated by Jehu
Baker, Republican--owing, It is said, to
Morrison's free-tradc views. 1t was at
first thought that Speaker Carlisle was
defeated by George H. Thoebe, a wood
carver and Knight of Labor; but the
last returns give Carlisle the victory by
a few hundred majority.

Mr.. Mcpherson says The attitude OF the
Democracy toward the present! administers
toni similar to that OF the Republicans to.
ward the administration of President Hayes,
