HE TALKS ABOUT THE OUTCOME.
Expresses His G atification ut tho
vory Handsome vote Given
Him In All Parts or
south Carolina.

Capt. ID. g. Hayward passed through
Charleston last Thursday, route to
Columbia. Capt. Hayward stated that
he could not be but intensely gratiiicd
at the handsome vote accorded him,
and while nc felt highly compllncntcd,
he accepted it as an evidence that the
great mass of voters IN South CAROLINA
approved ar his efforts to conduct his
campaign on high principles, and that
they were in accord with his platform
to administer tho laws OF the state
fairly and impartially and to he q gov
cnor Of the entire state, without re-
gard to factiOnal or sectional differ

II certainly appreciate the vote
given me by the people OF Charleston, !"
lie said II cannot possibly thank
them in person, but felt SO assured
Of their kind consideration that be-
fore tho recent primary devoted my
time elsewhere. feeling assured that
Charleston would stand by me, as she
has so loyalty done. hope 10 be back
here in Il few days and meet rs many
OF my Charleston supporters as posi-
BILE. Another gratifying feature Of
the recent vote was the very liberal
support given me by the mill districts.
l have always been q friend to tho la
boring men, us evidenced by the unani-
nous vote given me 10y every laboring
man who lives In my ncighbOrhood,
but have not been in public life be-
fore, and had no way heretofore
to prove it, ana therefore cannot but
feel that the loyal way in which the

'"They could scarcely be better and
not be certainty" replied Capt.
Hayward. u believe practically every
vote given me in the first primary will
be accorded me in the second race. In
my case you sec tho support was the
spontaneous expression OF people to

reason to count on the support Of the
| friends or tho defeated candidates. In
the campaign | treated every one OF
my opponents fairly and gave them
every possible consideration. l have
the good will Of DR.. Zimmerman,
Col. Tillman, Cnl. Talbcrt, and Mr..
Ansel. All OF them | count as friend
ly to me and in the second race
count on receiving the bulk Of the
votes Of each defeated candidate.
The total vote, you see, recorded
up to date, is about $4,000, and using
that simply as Il basis, 100000 Cdd
votes will be required to elect. My
vote is already about 32, 900, SO mere
ly have to get 5000 votes out OF the
$4,000 given to my opponents to give
inc the required 10000. These figures
are crude, but they are practically
about the way 1T will result and a
blind man can therefore see that my
chances arc excellent. Just let my
supporters remain true and then use
all fair and honorable methods Of In
duclng the supporters Of the defeated
candidates to join with them in their
support Of me-"
What about your movements,
Capt. Hcyward," inquired the ncwspa-
per man.
My movements, he replied, "will
be largely governed by circumstances.
My plan is, however to continue the
fair, upright, honorable and high
campaign which have heretofore con-

as do, that 1t meets the full approval
Of the State, my efforts will he to roll
up a large majority so that there will
be no question as to whether the pco-
pic OF South Carolina approve OF the
manner OF the campaign which just
has been concluded"
