STOKES; NOT SATISFIED.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Mar. 1G.ADr. |
}. William Stokes, tho populist
who was bcaton for Congress from
this district by judge Izlnr at the
election on Tuesday last, is in the
city with John Gary Evans, tho
candidate for governor, nosing
aa bsesnassls lsse pisysA sst sa or. ,'1
contest for judge Izlar's scat 1t
was not generally known that there
were tallyors at each Of the polls
during the day in tho interest Of
DR.. Stokes who notod down each
votor and tho total number who
voted. w. II. Schitloy, tallycr at
tho 4th ward poll, is said to claim
that thoro isa discrepancy Of &c
votes between his tally and the
number of votes in tho box as re-
ceived by tho commissioners.
Mr.. Schllloy was seen and asked
what wero tho fact of the Irregular
ities in precinct 2 ward 4. lie
said no was under plodgo of sccrcsy
for tho present concerning tho in
cidents Of tho election at this poll
but that thoy wore sufficient in his
opinion to throw out tho box. Tie
said that in addition to tho poll
list boing absent that tho box was
not scaled as required by law.
These reports and the appearance
OF John Gary Evans in this city
yesterday and certain consultations
which woro hold by him with w.
Gibbos Whaloy during tho day gavo
riso to rumors of a contest brewing.
1t sooms to bo certain that this in
cident and it's bearing on tho clcc-
ton was tho subject of tho several
consultations but whatever con-
clusions or purpose thoy have ar
rived at has not boen disclosed.
DR.. Stokes said that no had not
yet admitted his defoat or "thrown
up tho sponge" as had been stated
by somo of the papers. He, in fact,
thought there was still room for
doubt. He had simply refused to
say anything one way or tho othor
to the newspaper correspondents,
as.he did not propose to acknowl-
edge dofeat until ho know 1T to be
fact. The returns from Lexing-
ton as yot wore very meagre, he
said, amounting only to those re-
coived from four precincts which
gave him a majority of votes.
These precincts woro along the
lines of railroad whero judge Izlar
was strongest.
'eoge lzlar's majority in tho dis
trlct Is from 900 to 700. Il ;s
thought that scheme ia hoina

CoIvMnIN, March iG.--Sp2ciaI
I here is considerable stirrinw
about among politicians at the
Capital to-day. | suppose it's
all preliminary TO the campaign
meeting which is to be held in
\ CIV berry tomorrow. Thr
meeting doc& moi promise to l.,
one Of very great interest as
far as the events the re are con-
cerncd, but / have every rca-
son to believe that something
will transpirc there which will
throw somewhat q different t
light upon the race for Govern
or. | have knowledge Of some
thing that will be presented to
the public at this meeting which
will create. no doubt, considers
able surprise not only among
the people Of the State, but
among the politicians them,
selves. In q word, the idea OF
having these preliminary cam.
paign meetings is not pleasing
all OF the candidates by q great
deal, but then that will appear
at the meeting tomorrow.
From what | can ascertain
to day there will be at least three
of the leading candidates fer
Governor who will not attend
this meeting at all. One OF them
will doubtless be heard from in
another form. Another will be
at the Lexington mass meeting,
/ am told, and the other will be
somewhere else.
To-day John Gary Evans and
| w. ID. Evans arc in the city.
John Gary Evans was closctrd
with the Governor to-day, and
it is not natural to suppose that
he is getting some idea about
his campaign just as he did be-
fore he went to Nbbovillc TO at
tend that meeting. 1t has al
ready been shown that Mr..
Evans complied with the Gov
crnor's wishes in regard to the
tenor of the speech at Abbcvillc.
Whether he will do SO to-mor-
row or not remains to be seen.
1t looks like only he and Pope
and perhaps Zimmerman viii be
present at the Ncwbcrry meet
ing tomorrow,
w. ID. Evans is going to Lex
lngton, / am told, to attend tho
there. TO day he was

ALL METAL VS.. WOOD-BASE
CUTS.

The Press Association at it's meeting
last week adopted a resolution, offered
by Mr.. J. L Ramsey, of The PROGRESS
1--WE FARMER, requesting advertising
agents and all general advertisers, to
discard the use Of wood-base cuts and
to adopt in their stead solid metal or
sliding electrotypes, the object being
to do away with the trouble met with
in every printing Office arising from
the swelling and Wrapping of wood cuts,
thereby rendering an even, smooth
impression of the advertisement more
difficult, and consequently the service
to the advertiser less effective and
satisfactory. This we think a good
suggestion and one we are glad to see
is already being adopted by most Of
b big advertising concerns of the
country they readily recognizing that
1t Is to their interest not only to put
their advertisement in as attractive
form as possible, so far as display of
the matter is concerned, but that II
pays them to have it in such condition
as the publisher may be able to present
it to his readers in a clean and readable
