be disfranchised. Then the Inde-
pendents can run as many tickets
and put them out as Often as they
please. The returns received
Tuesday night made it look doubt.
full for the convention and the
advocates of it were somewhat
worried. Yesterday morning when
the kilograms began to roll into
Democratic headquarters they be-.
gan to change the aspect in ro-
gard to the convention, and Chair
man Irby: who had not been too
sanguine. stated for the first time
that tho convention would win by
few thousand votes. The Reg
lister gave table yesterday morn
ing, placing the vote of each coun-
tx in round numbers, and this
table gave the convention @ ma
jority.
The vote for Governor affords
little interest to the friends of
either candidate. The Popeites
knew their man mad been beaten,
and the Democrats knew that the
only thing in doubt about Eyapa'
vote would be the majority he
would have over his opponent:
Senator Evans was in the city eli
day and spent 8 good deal of time
at Democratic headquarters. While
he WAS glad that his friends were
sticking to him so we'll through
out the State there was nothing to
stir him out OF his usual temporal
ment. His interest in the result
of the Constitutional Convention
question was far greater than in
what kind of a vote he had gotten
in a certain county. He has all
along predicted that the conven.
ton would win and it was pleas
Ing to him yesterday to SEQ the
favorable turn the returns were
taking.
Senator Evans received num-
ber of congratulatory telegrams
yesterday. Some of them COM
tanned his majority over Pope in
some county or other.
DR.. Pope's feelings were far diff.
ferent to those of tho Game Cock
of Aiken. The doctor stayed il,
his room most of tho day and did
Il good deal of talking about
frauds and what he intended to
do. A telegraph boy about
o'clock in the afternoon reported
him to be lying in bed with his
head covered up. At night he sat
in the lobby of the Grand Central
and breathed maledictions on
those who had been guilty of what
he claimed were frauds. He de.
clared that he was going to have
Senator Irby arrested for praotic-
ing fraud in the election.

DIR. Pope proposes to make coh-
tests III every county. 1t IL uns
derstood that his plan, unless he
abandons it, will be to have his
representatives get up sfidavita
charging fraud. These will be
taken before the County Board,
of Canvassers. If they refuse te
give him the satisfaction he want,
he will take the contests before
the State Board Of Canvassors. 4
that board is against him he de-
clares that he will go to the State
Supreme Court and, if necessary
to the United States Supreme
Court. From there on he may go
to tho Emperor Of China or the
Shah of Persia. There is no toll"
ing how far he will go. He will
find all this costly and since no
has been beaten funds will not be
easily raised. Mon went down in:
to their pockets before because
they thought he had chance Of
winning. Nowit is different. ::
