The defense therefore summoned them.
Their testimony was not especially
important. Marshal HilliArd testified to

hindered in making the examination and
that Emma Borden gave him the keys to
everything.
John Donnelly, the hackman, said he
went to the Borden house on the afternoon
OF the day of the murder. He went into the
barn. The bay looked as though somebody
had been lying on the northwest part of it,
toward the window. When oross-exam-
ined he could not say whether the impression
was that OF man or dog. He never re-
ported the fact to an officer.

THE oNK-aALLus REGIME.

THE oNR-GALLUs REGIME.
CHARLESTON, 8. c., Aug. 3l.-The great
battle between the opposing factions OK the
South Carolina democracy is over aud the
Tilman, or one-gallus-boy regime, will be
continued for two years. The fight was q
very hot one, although no blood was spilled.
Illlmen's popular majority will probably
exceed 10 900 in total vote of 10000. As
far as heard from the conservatives have
carried out OF IS counties, giving them a
representation of GA delegates In the con-
vension. The Tillmanites have certainly
carried 20-176 delegates. There are Q

10 abide by the result of the primary, and
there will be but one state ticket in the
field in the election In November unless the
Oczla platform party in the democratic
convention, which meets on Sept. 26, nomi-
accord with the democratic national plat
form.
THE CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT.
The conservatives are almost entirely
successful in the congressional nominations.
The result may be summed up as follows
In the First district w. II. Brawley (con-
servative) is re-slected by handsome ma-
iorlty over William ]. Stokes. president OF
che farmers alliance. This is due to great
extent to the heavy vote polled for Brawley
in Charleston.
In the Second district Congressman @. ID.
Tlllman, who had three alliance opponents,
has the lead but may have TO enter a second
primary. The congressman is brother of
Gov. Tillman, but receives the full strength
OF the conservative vote.
In the Third district Congressman George

conservatives, beat A. @. Latimer, the Till
mantle, who introduced the platform in the
democratic state convention in June de-
nonncing ex-President Cleveland.
