A LANDSLIDE FROM EVANS.

ChnrIeston's Germans Withdraw
Their strong Vote from Him.
Charleston, S. c., Sept. 7.-Intense ex-
element prevails here over the Earle
Evans race for the United States senator
tomorrow.
A second primary is to be held for clerk
of the county court but that is lost sight
of in the important contest The city Of
Charleston will doubtless poll nearly her
full vote tomorrow, and Earle's majority
will be a large one. 1t is reported to-
night that the Germans, who all voted
for Evans last time, have deserted him,
almost to a man. This alone will change
some 300 or 400 votes.
The Earle men, who are working hard,
claim that they will give their candidate
1900 majority in the city. If full vote
is polled the figures are too small.
