turns of the vote of this city show most ex-
traordinary and altogether surprising
results. Harrison's majority is over 5000.
Kimball, rep, for governor, has over 10, 900
majority, and tie republican city ticket
will range from $500 majority for sheriff
to 5000 for other candidates. In
the Eighth Congressional district John

is beaten by Henry F. Niedringhaus,
rep, by 1856, and in the Ninth district,

years ago by John NJ. Glover. is now elected
over Castlelnan. dem, by 2,10O. In the
Tenth district, which is composed of several
of the southern wards of the city and nine
outlying counties, sufficient returns are re-
ceived to indicate the election of Kinscy,

incumbent, by handsome majority.

CHARLESTON BEARS UP BRAvELY.
The Democrats Wish They Had Cast
More Votes.

More Votes.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. 7.-Charleston
is not exactly whooping up things just now,
ut least in a political sense, but she las be-
come too used to disasters and disappoint-
ments-political, social and material-to go
into the dumps for a little thing like defeat
in presidential election The democrats
are taking their defeat as cheerfully as the
situation will permit, but good many of
them are kicking themselves very indus
triously because they didn't go to the polls
and vote-at least for congressman. They
begin to realize now that democratic con-
gressmen from this state who go to the
fifty-first congress with anything less than
very solid majority are liable to be ousted
by the possible republican majority
of the Hjuse. Congressman >Dibble
gets majority of about 1890
in this county, when he could just as easily
have had one of 5000, if every democrat
had done his duty. The -Charlestonian
wears a smiling face, and dreams of re-
turn OF the old carpet-bag days. The
financiers and business men, generally, re.
view the situation with undisturbed counte-
nances. Most of the Charleston millionaires
deprecate the result of the election, SO far
as it affects the political condition of the
south, but they do not apprehend any vio-
lent disturbance of the financial affairs of
the nation. Cleveland's pro able defeat is
variously attributed by the leading political
lights here to the tariff question, and to the
treachery of the New York County Democ-
racy and Tammany. The republican poll
ticians are already picking out their places
in the postofiice and custom house and reve-
nue. department, and the democrats are
preparing to retire. A prominent democrat
said to-day that he would bet $500 that
there would not be democrat in a federal
office within three months after Harrison's
inauguration.

MICHIGAN'S MAJOhITIBS.
r. Gain of Three Congressman Claimed
By the Republicans.

DETROIT, MICH. Nov. Z, 2 P. M.-The
election of Wheeler, rep, i'll the Tenth dis
trict over Fisher, the present incumbent, is
conceded This leaves but onSdistri ct, the
Seventh, in doubt, and is republican gain
of three. Should Whiting, dem, be re-
elected in the Seventh which now seems
probable, the delegation will stand Q repub-
icans and democrats. Additional returns
received up to noon do not materially change
the vote for governor. The plurality for
Luce, rep, will exceed 10000.
MCHIGAN's CONGRESSMAN.
DETROIT, MICH, Nov. Z, 10 P. M-Suffi-
Gent returns have been received from all
the congressional districts in Michigan,
with one exception, to insure the election of
eight republicans and two democrats. This
Is a republican gain of two. The result in
the Tenth (Fisher's) district is in doubt, and
may require the official count to
determine. J. Logan Chapman,
dem, is returned from the First
district; Edward Allen, rep, from the Sec
ond, James O'Donnell, rep, from the

CLEVELAND CALM AND CHEERFUL
He Says the People Will Ultimately

he says the People VIII Ultimately
Vote for Tariff Reform.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE President
ard Mrs. Cleveland are calm and cheerful
under the unfavorable news which has been
coming to the white house for the past
twenty -four hours. The salute fired by
some over enthusiastic person just south of
the white house porch this evening shook
all the windows, but did not disturb the
President or his wifi. They saw callers
to-day and conversed freely with them
about the returns. The President
had confidently expected New York and In
diana, as well as New Jersey and Connect
cut, to go democratic, and Mrs. Cleveland
had shared this expectation, but they &C
cepted the intimations of defeat very cour-
ageously. The President said this afternoon
that he was satisfied that Gov. Hill and all
the other democrats of New York had done
their best to elect the national as well as the
sta g ticket, and if the national ticket was
defeated in New Y ork state, il was chiefly
due, he thought, to the ma oralty contest
IN New York city, and to the fact that time
had not served TO fully educate the people
on the tariff question. Behind these stood
the improper use of money by republican
managers and the influence by repub lican
monopolists employing large numbers of
workingmen. He said very emphatically
that tins election would not, even if it
finally resulted in the election OF Harrison,
seriously retard the progress of tariff re-
form. The people, ne said, "have begun
TO think about that question as they have
not done before since the war, and they
will not rest until they effect the desired re.
form. IL cannot be stopped now" The
President will make his tariff message TO
congress next month all the more vigorous
or course congress will do nothing in the
matter this winter

The Presidents message, while it was honest

does not mean the dissolution of the Democratic
party. -Four years from last Tuesday our party
will march to victory under the leadership of
David b. Hill or some other democrat who
is the nominee for the presidency. As loyal
citizens of the government the people of the
south will gvs proper support to the admins
