TOM DIXON VOTED FOR MORTON The Dint liigiil*hrd Southern Drvlnr in N>w York Support* the H publican. New Yoiik, November 7. ? Rev. Tom Dixon, of North Carolina, the distinguished younjr Rapt is t divine yesterday voted for Morton nml Strong, though he lias heretofore always supported the demoerats. In an interview he said: "My first idea of reform is the necessitv of Mr. Morton governor of the state. My second idea is the carrying of every eonstitntional amendment, rapid transmit and consolidation included. and the election of the ticket from top to bottom headed by Col. William L. NtrO"" * I''"'" ' -? means that we will have a governorship in keeping with the better aspirationx-of the puople. No reform laws could be passed in Albany for the relief of the city if the democratic candidate is elected. I voted for Morton beeau.se he represents the possibility for reforming this city.

William Lorrimer, republican candidate for congress from the second district, was thrown head over heels from the voting place in Lamont township yesterday afternoon. Twenty-five deputy sheriffs sent from Chicago to that township to preserve order were thrust into jail at Lamont. Justice of the peace Wimer refused to release them on bail. This proceeding was what precipitated the conflict that resulted in the chief of police of Lamont taking Lorrimcr into his arms and carrying him into the street. CHINA GIVES UP KOREA.

wns a cry "'let. a move yon" and tilings hucame more rustling. There was actual disfranchisement in hundreds of cases in varoiis parts of the city. I Tifortunatc fellows, who because of their illiteracy and who were allowed no guide posts behind the screens, were unable to make ballot ends meet legally and had to give up the job finally, were very many. I5ut they were not the only men who had gone to the "trouble" of being registered and lost their vote. The cause of it all was unquestionably the lack of booths. Two thousand one hundred and sixty-two districts outside of Xew York and llrooklyn give .Morton more than '.>7.000 over Mill and 07.000 more than l'assett in 1801. Total vote for governor of Xew York city: Mill I'M,0.10 : Morton 121,501 ; Wheeler *.7*7. (Jrnnt ran behind Hill and Strong ami ahead of Morton. There was an ominous silence as the returns were read at Tammany hall. "Tammany's beaten" was the erv that went round the hall. The strains of Hovne's band were insufficient to keep people in humor. Nicholas lion olio made an address. He said he eon 1<1 not believe that two such "thorough-souled" democrats as Senator Kill and ex-mayor < rant could be beaten in the state and eitv of Xew York. "You have heard me announce in t ho past years the victories of Tammany hall. I have now. I am sorry to say, to announce a defeat. We have lost tliu city hy 'j;t,ooo votes and the state by 100,000 votes. It luis licen a landslide?a tide that we could not stem. We have, at any rate, nailed our colors to the. mast anil fought to the last ditch." A wail went up from the crowd as Mr. Medoldrick gave out the official statement that victory deserted the ranks of the democratic parly and that Tammany hall was defeated. WISCONSIN ~ t'pulinw.

COM'MDIA, S. C., November 7.?The weather in South Carolina was rohl and clear yesterday. The election was the most exciting in years. In addition to the congressional rout-ists there was a hot fight between?the regular democratic candidates for governor, John Clary Evans, of Aiken, and Dr. Sapson l'ope. of Newberry, independent candidate supported by white men, who have left the democratic party because of their hitter feeling to the present state administration backed by the negroes of the cities and towns. In addition to all this, the state has been agitated over the question of holding a constitutional convention, which held, would disfranchise the negro and eliminate him from politics. This aroused the negroes and on this question they have been supported by independents, who wish to use the negro in the future. Keeling lias been bitter and the negroes have turned out in larger numbers than in years, that is. they have turned out in the cities and towns, but it is not likely they have turned out in the country precincts, where the democrats are in large majority, and where jthero orono iiHVvpendenla tv, * ?*. ? <*- negro encouragement and assistance. The calling of a constitutional convention, as stated, means that a new constitution will be made and the negro disfranchised. In about half the counties, independent tickets for the legislature were run in the hope of getting a sutlieient number of members in the legislature to re-elect Senator Uutler over (Sovernor Tillman, the democratic choice for the senate. These tickets fail of election in nearly every county. It was the last chance of Senator butler.
