The South Carolina Vote.

The State board of canvassels s
has not yet gotten at the official re.
suits Of the recent elections in this
State. Approximately the figures
are about as follows for the several
electoral tickets: Bryan, $4,000;
Palmer Buckner, 825; Webster Re-
publican, 4,400; Melton Republican,
1926. 1t is thus seen that the State
went even pore overwhelmingly than
was expected for free silver. and that
the Re.organized Union Republican
party is on top in the factional fight.
The total anti.Bryan vote was only

little larger than was estimated. The
