THE SOLID SOUTH.
Republicans have No Reason to HOPE o.
Breaking Here To- Day.

CHARLESTON. s. c., Nov. 1-Nhhe
there IS n perfect election fever in the
North. East and West. it IS as quiet here
as if there We're no elections ever known
in South Carolina. No ono seems 10 KNOW
care CT think anything about south Caro-
linl politics. and tho only interest helc
is the result in other states. There p
practically 10 fear of any other paIl,
slipping in and capturing the electoral
vote frcm the Democrats. The RepuDi
cans have been suspici0usly quiet, anu
may be reserving all Of their energies un-
til the election day with a view 10 "sNooP,
ing down" on the mapping Democrats anu
surprising them. The United States mar
shal has appointed deputy marshals ior
all the city polls. but this has been done
in every election since the reconstruc-
tion period, and il makes no sensation 10
speak Of.
The only element Of doubt that exists
in the election tomorrow is the prinilns
of the Democratic ballots. IL is said that
IL is only the presidential electors tickets
that are of illegal size. the state tickets
being of the regulation pattern, and TINS
would seem 70 give color 20 the runlois
OF bad faith on the part Of the Alliance
men who control the Democratic machine
Most Of the county chairmen, however
have been warned, and If they desire 10
do so, this fault can be rcmedied, but
then on the other hand most Of the
county chairrnen are Alliance men too,
and it is doubtful if they will correct the
mistake unless State Chairman lrby
orders them TO do so. According 20 the
best information obtainable, the vote OF
the State for President will stand about
this way: Cleveland, 10000; HARRISON
10000; Weaver from 1000 10 1000. Ihese
figures may vary, but they represent
about the voting strength Of the parles
i'm this State to-day. Indications point 10
the election OF five Alliance and two De-
mOcratic congressman.

SAVANNAH, GA. Nov. THE great
est interest in to-morrows election IN
Georgia is centered in the Tenth congress
sional district where Judge Black tDem)
Is pitted against Tom Watson. Up TO this
week the Democrats were confident on
account Of the heavy registration IN
Augusta that Watson, who Is the leader
of the Third party, would be defeated:
The decision of Judge Spec. Of the United
States court that the county regislTa-
ton laws are Illegal and void has
changed the status of affairs considera-
bly,. Large amounts Of money have been
sent into the districts to help each side
rrlo focfiuo- ie and trouble IS
feared.
