The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1894-11-13

will be reelected by small plurality.
Qfficiai and unofficial returns from 54
counties out of SO give him a plurali-
ty of about 5000. This will be mate
rally reduced, however, as q large
number OF Republican counties are
among those not heard from.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. S.--Ten-
nessee cannot be counted in the Re-
publican column yet. II. Clay Evans
doubts his election and left for Nash
vile this morning. Private kilograms
from Chairman Carroll to prominent
Democrats state that Governor Turney
and majority. The solid South will
not be broken by Tennessee. The
News prints Governor Turney's picture
this afternoon and claims his election
by 5000.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, November o.
That 81. Clay Evans, the Republican
nominee, has been elected Governor of
Tennessee Is made more apparent as
fuller returns are received. A care
full estimate of the 81 counties gives
him majority of 3,1O0. These figures,
it is thought, will be further increased
to 5000 when the full returns are in.
The report that McMillin had been
defeated for Congress in the fourth
district by Benton, Populist, is un-
founded. The figures are not obtaina-
BILE at present, but McMillin is return
ed by majority of at least 200.
The next general assembly of Ten
nessee will stand:
Senate-Democrats, Q; Republicans,
8; Populists, 8. One district missing
will certainly return a Republican.
House-Democrats, 81 Republicans.
"a; Populists, Z. There is dis trict
missing which is expected to return a
Democrat.
MISSOURI MAKES A BREAK.
ST. LOUIS, November Tt seems
likely that Missouri has Joined the
Republican ranks, Governor Stone
comedies that the next Legislature will
be Republican. Everything indicates
eight congressman, and that Hatch,
Bland and Dockery are among the de.
feated. Van Horne, Republican, at
Kansas City, admits that he is beaten
by TarSney on the face of the returns,
but says he will contest in the House.
Three counties which had been De-
mocratic for twenty years elected the
full Republican ticket by indisputable
pluralities.
Congressman Dockery acknowledged
his defeat on the face of the unofficial
returns.
Hatch is defeated by @. M. Clark,
Republican, but Chairman Cook does
not concede Hatch's defeat.
ST. LOUIS, November 8.-Returns
being received at Democratic head
quarters show that the Republican VIC
tory in Missouri is even greater than
last nights report Indicated.
Chairman Cook, of the Democratic
or, 4 c~ll
the latest returns On the Congressional
delegation: First district, G. M. Clark,
Republican; second, c.. III. Loomis,
Republican; third, A. M. Dockery, De-
mocrat; fourth, G. G. Crowthe", Re-
publican; fifth, j. G. Tarsney. Demo-
crat sixth, ID. A. Darmand, Democrat |:
seventh, j. p. Tracey, Republican !;
eighth, r. p. Bland, Democrat; ninth,

Il. Bartholdt, Republican; eleventh,
Charles r. Joy, Republican; twelfth,
S. w. Cobb, Democrat; thirteenth, j.
ii. Raney, Republican; fourteenth, N.
G. Burton, Republican.
This gives the Republicans 10 repre-
sentatives in Congress from Missouri,
and as Bland, Democrat, is only nine
teen votes ahead with several unfavor-
able precincts to hear from, his defeat
is almost certain.
LOUISIANA SOLIDLY DEMOCRATIC.
NEW ORLEANS, November 8.-Full
returns confirm previous dispatches Of
the election of all the Democratic can
didates for Congress in Louisiana. The
Republicans announce that they will
make a contest, when the Fifty-Fourth
Congress meets. Attorneys have been
engaged to handle the cases and the
evidence. The sugar planters are un-
derstood to have spoilers in all the su-
gar districts. The Republicans are
hopeful of getting Beatty, Coleman
and Kcrnochan seated.
TEXAS GOES PoPULIsTIC.
New ORLEANS, Nov. S.--The Times
Democrats special from Abilene, Tex,
says: Texas, too, was caught in the
slide Of Republican victory, but by
Populists instead of Republicans The
time worn plurality of one hundred
and eighty thousand for Democracy is
thing of the past. Today's returns
from that OF yesterday, when the
Democrats were confident of plurali-
ty of eighty thousand, while tonight
they will be satisfied if barely ahead.
Every return throughout the State to-
day shows phenomenal Populist gains
and may possibly indicate the election
of Nugent, the Populist nominee Tor
Governor. The State tonight is claim
ed by both parties. The Populists
claim aplurality of $4,000 for Nugent,
while the Democrats only claim the
State for Culberson by 10000. The
Democratic strongholds have been
heard from, whilc the Populists are
yet to receive returns from the coun-
try districts.
DALLAS, Tex, Nov. 8.-The Judges
are still counting the ballots. Mayor
kearby, (Pop) so far as returns are
in from Dallas County, leads ABBOTT,
(Dem.) by about 600. If Kearby counts
out as strongly In the city as his friends
Z expect he WILL the race in the Sixth
district will be an exceedingly close
one. Despite dispatches, the election
OF Gilland (Pop.) over Bell (Dem.) in
the Thirteenth district is assured.
Even the rock-ribbeo Democratic
State Of Texas has parted from the
faith and gone partially over to the
enemy. The Democrats certainly lost
two and possibly four Congressman.
Nugent Pop. for Governor, is running
like scared hound. The Populists
here are actually claiming his cleo
tion.
While many leading Democrats are
dumbfounded at the cyclone which has
well-nigh swept the par ty out of exist
enee, others are not at all astonished /;
| they say that Cleveland and Congress
