or less effect in certain communities;
but, after all, Mr.. Hull has nothing to
be ashamed of. Considering the fact
that he has been 25 years an editor, the
vote Of his township is gratifying, and
we are also gratified at the vote he re-
ceived in Yorkville. However, none Of
these suggestions offer us much conso-
lation. We entertained strong hopes
of the election of Mr.. Hull, and in the
fact that he was not elected we are
sorely disappointed.

THE ENQUIRER sincerely regrets the
defeat of Mr.. j. J. Huh for the legisla-
ture. We suggested his candidacy orig
inally because we felt that he would
make most creditable representative.
In his canvass Of the county he came
fully up to expectations, meeting all
issues fairly and squarely, refraining
from all trades and telling the people
exactly where he stood upon all issues.
His canvass was that Of an honest
journalist rather than of a politician.
He ran up against a number of lies-in-
cendiary lies-against which he could
not defend himself. For instance it was
reported that he wanted to go to the
legislature in the interest Of the Ca
tawba Power company, and it was
also claimed that if elected, he would
try to relieve Rock Hill Of the Win
throp college debt. There were other
stories equally absurd. Mr.. Hull cor
rected some of them in The Herald,
and we would have been pleased to cor
rect them in THE ENQUIRER; but it
was our judgment that it was better
to ignore such silly stuff. Possibly we
were mistaken. After all it may be a
fact that the unscrupulous inventors Of
such canards have more influence than
we think. Again, the factional issue
was used against Mr.. Hull with more

AS we ran our eye over the heading
knocked Out in the Fifth" yester-
day, in one of the daily papers, we as
sumed that the paragraph referred to

which It was Corbett who did the Fin

ONE of the mysteries Of Tuesdays
primary, not only in York county, but
throughout the state, was the big vote
that was received by J Il. Tilluan for
lieutenant-governor. We cannot ac-
count for it only on the ground Of the
work Of the First regiment boys, and
the possible influence of the name Till
man. Colonel Tillman will probably be
elected; but If he shall ever reflect
credit upon the state from his position,
we will be agreeably surprised.

OLD DR.. Zimmerman is capital man.
There is no doubt Of that fact. The
people Of the state generally realize it.
He was probably opposed not because of
any objection to him; but more be-
cause Of the desire Of the. majority to
take care of MANNED Confederate.
Had Mr.. Jennings not been the equal
of DR.. Zimmerman in all other respects,
however, he could not have gotten such
a handsome vote.

Conger and the American missionaries,

course there is politics in it. Secreta-
ry Root and Postmaster General Smith,
who are in close touch with the busl-

Hay favors continuing them there. He
is most determined, so much so, 1t is
said, that his pleasant relations with

That fact is explained by his illness;
but it is also known that he had seve-

to which he has been subjected by

HAWAIIAN ELECTION RESULT.
RoyaIist Candidate Elected Dele
gate to Congress
ON AN ANTl-WHiIE ISSUE.

Honolulu, via of San Francisco. Nov
I'D s Wilcox, the Royalist candi-
date. has been elected Hawaiian
delegate TO congress by small
jority over Samuel Parker, the Repub-
ncan candidate His strong vote
among the natives in outside districts
carried the day against the white and
intelligent native voters of the cities
The result of the election produced
much depression among all whites,
Wilcox was strongly opposed by Re
publicans and Democrats alike His
campaign was anti-vhite canvass,
with promises on the part of some of
his campaign workers that if he were
elected Queen Liliuolxalani would be
replaced on the throne The result of
the vote shows the native bitterness
over annexation to be still alive
The independent native party has
carried the house of represen tatives by
a large majority. They will have four
teen members of the house. with nine
Republicans and six Independents and
Democrats In the senate there will
be seven Republicans, eight indie
pendents and one Democrat. With the
independents in control a lively session
is anticipated they are against the
ruling regime. 1t is likely, as a result
of the election, that congress will be
asked to establish some limitations
upon the voting privilege. Many of
the whites want a property qualifica-
ton for voters. 1t is argued that, in
voting upon simple color line many
OF the natives have shown themselves
unfit for universal suffrage
It is said that Mr.. Parker will go to
Washington in any event and that,
though he will have no official title,
he will look after the interests of the

DENNIS FLYNN GIVES II Up.
Kiowa and Comanche Country Can
not be Opened Next Spring.
ALL HOPE FOR 1T is GONE.

Wichita, Nov. 20.--In an interview
here Delegate Dennis T. Flynn said
that all hope of opening the kiov7a and
Comanche country to settlement next
Spring is gone; adding: 81 have held
out from the first that the allotments
would be completed and the country
opened in the spring had not been
on the ground. I know now that this
will not be done. 1t is only through
that most of the present al1otments
been made-for he has given us the
bulk of the whole appropriation for
allotment in the nation
Now COMES a new danger into the
situation. Under the law it may be
held mandatory that all al1otments be
completed by December next They
now demand that the work of a1lotting
cease on and after that date. This
will be for the secretary to cOnstrue.
The chief trouble of all is the matter
OF surveyors marks Many are gone
It is almost impossible to locate them
1.-The country was surveyed twenty
seven years ago. 1t took $50 men to
survey it then, and as it is there are
four townships in the Wichita noun
tains which have never been surveyed
IF the al1otments to be made are
made before June THAT is, next year,
congress will have to pass immediate
ly at its next session appropriation
for S75, 900 for the work In my opin-
ion nothing else viii suffice.
Another difficulty which is up is
this: There are on the reservation at
this time, among the Indians, 800 cases
of smallpox.
1.-The whole outlook is greatly dis
oouraging. I had counted implicitly
on an opening in the early spring 1t
cannot be in the spring now. y

Escape From Lansing.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 19.-One of
the most daring and successful escapes
on record by three conviets at the
state penitentiary at Lansing occurred
last week The dash for liberty, for
one at least. was brief, as he fell with
bullet through his head from Deputy
Warden Thompson's revolver before
he could gain cover. The three con-
victs were Sam Smith, e. T. Esten and
Ben Cravens- They made a wooden
pistol and covered it with tin foil: with
this they frightened their guard in the
cool mine, compelling him to take
them up the shaft, and then scared
other guards until outside the walls
The outside guards used their guns
and, Swartz. of the guards
shot with a gun the convicts had taken
from another guard Deputy Warden
Thompson then placed the shot above
mentioned.
