Bryan's Plurality in South Caro-
Tina Over $4,000.
CANvASSED
Bryan and Kern Received 62,2s9
Votes; Taft and Sherman, s,s47;
Hisgen and Graves, 40; Debs and
snooks, 1O1-spartanburg County
Gave the Largest Democratic Vote.

Columbia, Nov. 26.-According to
the official returns as tabulated and
declared Monday by the State board
of canvassers, the total vote for the
Democratic electoral ticket at the
election of November 8, 1908, was
62,2s9; for the Republican ticket,
3,S47; for the independence League
ticket. 49,, and for the Socialist
ticket, 1Of. This is total vote Of
about $1,000, slightly more than
half the total number of votes cast
in the Democratic primary election
in August.
The largest Republican vote was
cast in Orangeburg county, 4O5, with
Charleston second, 347; Beaufort,
third, 272; Richland, fourth, 2S6;
Berkeley, fifth, 225. This shows
that the strength of the Republican
party in this State is now as always
since the war in the counties where
there is the largest negro population,
the main constituency Of the party
in this State being colored.
The largest Democratic vote was
cast by Spartanburg, 4.162; with
Greenvflle second, alta; Orange
burg third, 2,6S7; Lexington, fourth,
2,50S, and Anderson, Laurens and
Marion each castingl over two thous-
and votes for the Democratic ticket.
Here again the same thing Is illus
trated-the strength of the Demo-
cratic party lies principally in the
white counties of the Piedmont, the
same thing being proved by the prl-
mary returns of the primary elec-
Hon.
In the Congressional election, the
largest vote was cast in the 4th dis
trict and the second largest in the
3rd district, these two districts EN-
,bracing the heavy white counties
and the Democratic Congressional
nominees having no opposition.
