returned, and maintain that Davidson, in
the Eighth, has strong fighting chance.

GERS are to be voted for in Illinois next

,cratic delegation. The Democrats have
:ognizance of the move in the Ninth and
onight word was sent to the party members
n that district to turn out and re-elect
Tate, Democrat. No fear of defeat is felt,
Is the warning will reach the Ninth in the
The contest between Brantley,
Democrat and Wilkinson, Republican, in
,he Eleventh has been particularly spirited,
put Brantley's election is believed to be a
certainty.

ALABAMA.
Birmingham-The Democratic campaign
claim that Alabama will be repre-
'ented by solid delegation in the next
SOUTH CAROLINA
Charleston-Interest over the cleo
ton is lacking. There is no contest for
state officers against the nominees of the
recent Democratic primaries. The only fea-
ture of the election is the preparation for
the Republicans to make contests before the
next house for seats of congressional repre-
sentatives. They have candidates in all
districts and have arranged careful watch
ng system in the hope of securing evidence
Of fraud on the part of the Democrats, in
order to base contest.

oublicans, as the election will be under the
lpportionment OF districts as mapped out
by the Republicans under the last gerry
nander. The Republicans ought to elect 7
out OF the 10. and may get one or two more,
