THE DEMOCRACY WINS.
THE TILLMAN TICKET ELECTED BY
AT LEAST $4,000 MiJORITYs
Six Democratic Congressman Certainly
Elected Some Doubt as to Elliott,
Democratic Quiet Election
and Light Vote.

teach those who would bolt their party
nominations that no such action WILL
be iudorsed by the white men and
Democrats Of this State. And on the
other hand we trust it is small enough
to impress upon the minds of those
who are successful, that the minority
should be treated with proper regard
and that it has rights that should be
respected. The Democratic party IN
South Carolina has been given severe
test ard put through terrible ordeal
this year. It will not stand many
more such strains. But the regular
ticket is successful and for this we are
truely thankful. We voted the party
ticket and did all in our power after
its nomination for its success. From
our point of view we conceived this to
be our duty, and we feel that we have
only discharged our simple duty.
Others saw differently and did other
wise. We have no quarrel with them.
We want now to see a reunited party,
all working harmoniously together fer
the common good. Let all good men
apply themselves diligently to accom-
plish this result.
We give as full returns as we could
obtain yesterday of the result in this
State. The official count will not be
reached until next week.
The election was quiet and orderly
throughout the State and for this We
should also be thankful.
The vote was light aud it would
seem not many negroes voted.
In Newberry County the vote was
light. AT Newberry only 100 negroes
voted at the State box and about the
same number at the Federal box. Very
little interest was manifested. Most of
those voting at the State box only voted
for governor and Lieutenant Governor.
We give below the vote forGovernor and
for Congressman for this County in de-
tail with the exception of fGlymphville,
from which box we had received no
return yesterday. The vote there will
not exceed 60 almost solid for the regu-
lar nominees. Geo. Johnstone is elect
ed to Congress from this District by a
large majority. Shell, Tillman Hemp
hill, Brawley and Stackhouse are also
elected and possibly Elliott giving US
six Democratic Congressman and possi-
bly, seven.
Good news for the Democrats has
also been received from other States.
The next Congress will be Democratic.
We trust now that everything will
settle down to its normal condition
and we can get down to business
A QUIET ELECTION.
COLUMBIA, S. c., November 4.-2 P.
M.-Reports in from very few counties
indicate q small vote, and majority
up to y N. favors Tillman for Gov
ernor and Democratic nominees for
Congress. AT several precincts through
out the State already heard from ballot
boxes were stolen and no election held.
These polls were conspicuous as be-
ing in favor Of Haskell, who opposes
Tillnan for Governor. The negroes
are voting very slimly. It seems that
they are afraid to vote, but those voting
favor Haskell for Governor and the
regular Republican nominees for Con
gresS.
p. m.-Comparatively few counties
have been heard from, indications so
far give Tillman, his entire State ticket
and the Democratic Congressman a
majority throughout the State. The
vote has been remarkably small outside
Of Tillman's immediate supporters.
Few others have shown much interest
and the quiet vote has been mostly fo1
his opponent, Judge Haskell. The
negro has not shown the interest that
was expected, and the impression is
that the vote will prove the smallest
ever cast in the State.
$50 p. m.-Telegrams which are
coming in rapidly from different points
throughout the State do not change
the result as indicated in previous tele-
grams. Tillnaan and his entire State
ticket appear to have carried the State.
All Of the Democratic Congressmen,
with possible uncertainty Of one in the
Seventh District, are elected. There has
been no disturbance so far as heard
from.
THE NEGRO DIDN'T VOTE.
9 p. m.-Scattering returns from
every section of the State indicate the
election of Tillman and his entire State
ticket by large majority eXceptin the
coast counties, which have very large
negro majorities, and in a few Of the
cities. The negroes have failed to vote, al
though they have where voting favored
the Haskell ticket. It does not look as
100000 OF, the negroes in the State have
voted and the white vote is exceedingly
light. This is attributable largely to
the registration law and general apathy
on account of the split ir the Demo
cratic party. Fragmentary returns
from the various Congressional districts
indicate that the regular Democratic
candidates have had walk over except
in the Seventh district where the con-
test between Elliott (Dem.) and Miller
rep is thought to be uncomfortably
close. Impossible to give figures TO-
night.
II Midnight.-Up to this hour only
125 precincts out of 567 in the State
have reported officially giving figures
for governor, Tillman 1878; Haskell
5,9l3. These precincts usually poll
about one-third Of the vote of the State,
so it is likely that the total vote will
not exceed 10000 HaSkell's vote may
reach 25,LOO. AS the returns come III
is demonstrated the absolute failure of
the negroes to support the Haskell
ticket, and in various sections they
voted for Tillman. 1t is not likely the
further returns will alter this estimate
The returns for congressman show
that six out of seven districts are GER
tainly Democratic by large majorities.
The TIN district is in possible doubt,
with chances tavoring Elliott Dem
against Miller and Brayton, both Re,
publican candidates.
The election throughout the State
- has been the Quietest known so far as
heard from.
