lists elect their State Ticket and maior-
ity of the Legislature.

The national election on Tuesday
was most fattering and overwhelm-
ing endorsement Of President Nc
Kinley's administration. The people
of the country generally showed no
disposition to let go of a good thing.
The pleasant sunshine of prosperity
proved more potent with the voters
than windy talk of Imperialism.
The returns show 287 electoral
votes sure, with the probability that
Kentucky and Nebraska will add 2l
more. The largest electoral vote
received before was Cleveland's 277.
While McKinley's pluralities are re.
duced some places, tn. Bryan plu
ralities have withered like a blight
had struck them, and McKinley's
popular majority will also break the
record
Mckinley has carried every state
he carried in 1896, unless the Goebel
board counts Kentucky against him.
He has gained Kansas, Washington,
South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho,
Utah and probably Nebraska. He
mas broken into the Rocky Mountain
region and now with the silver issue
completely disposed of, there will be
rapid return to settled political
conditions.

900. The Legislature is fusion in
both branches, but the republicans
have made substantial gains. The
republican workers under the man
agement of Chairman q. d. Ford,
and with the splendid leadership of
Senator Wolcott and Hon. Frank G.
Cloudy, made grand fight and sue
ce eded in reducing the democratic
plurality over 100000. The fusion
lists have won a temporary victory,
but the roturns show that their
forces are breaking up, while the re-
publicans are united and gaining
steadily. The indications are that
no one party can organize the Iegis-
lature but if the fusionists can agree
they can easily run things.

The result in Prowers county is a
clean sweep for the republicans, and
this magnificent result is due to the
splendid organization and enthusias
tic work Of the republicans all over
the county. The party was working
mo in harmony than it ever has
before, and tho result is gratifying
in the highest degree.

The election in Prowers county
was quiet but was contested in a
spirited manner by both parties. The
vote was the heaviest ever polled IN
the county, over 1900, but was still
far short of the registration. The
republicans made clean sweep by
over 80 majority on everything but
representative, the democrats making
their whole fight for Traxler. Hon.
N. N Mclean, however, carried the
county by % and the district by

deserved both for the integrity they

OUR POSITION.

The Orangeburg Times and Dem
oerat devotes two. thirds of its edi-
torial space this week to pessimist-
ic grumhle over the political stand
made by The BAMBERG HERALD.
It can't understand how this paper
can support Bryan and applaud Nc
Laurin at the same time, and pite-
ously begs for enlightment. 1t
charges this paper with "dodging
the question" You are wrong,
Brother Sims. We never dodge, but
stand to the rack no matter what
the result.
We, living in salubrious climate,
and, toning our system daily by
copious draughts Of artesian water,
see things 'not darkly" nor, Gas in
looking glass" upside down. No one
has ever questioned cur Democracy.
But, the Democracy { fifty years
ago is not the Democracy of to-
day. We never stick in the ruts.
We are afraid that our esteemed con-
temporary does. We are not the
sort of Democrat that howls contin-
ually about jefferson, Jackson and
the constitution of our forefathers. :"
We believe in going ahead.
On many questions We agree with
Mr.. Bryan. He is an honorable
man, and we admire his steadfast-
ness to principle. But we are not a
cone string player" on the political
fiddle, and there is where We have
the advantage of Brother Sims. He
sticks to antiquated, archaic ideas,
and we believe in twentieth century
thought and work. That's our only
difference, and if he can't consistent
Iy assimilate and support the politi'
cal views of both McLaurin and
Bryan, and at the same time, main
tain his party fealty, then we advise
him to take week off, go out into
the boundless forests that surround
Orangeburg, get the "Constitution
of our Fathers" 'Political Works
of Jefferson and Jackson" 'The
Life and Letters of William Jen-
nings Bryan" and '"rhe Speeches of
John Lowndes McLaurin," study
each carefully and see if he can't
reconcile the diverse and sometimes
opposing views of these distinguish
ed gentlemen to fit an up-to date
Democracy that means progress.
Well pray for the misguided brother
and trust that eventually he will
see the error of his ways, adopt the
true faith and do penance.
