guished South Carolina gentleman vas nr...,,

In the Charleston Courier. The following 4,
an extract therefrom:
"I enjoyed yesterday afternoon the high
satisfaction Of hearing Ex-Governor Floyd Of
Virginia, make q noble, patriotic, conservs-
tive and Union-loving speech from the steps Of
the Merchants Exchange in Wall street to
the Democracy, the constitutional Democracy
OF New York, gathered in dense and inspiring
throngs to hear words Of "truth and sober
ness" from worthy SON Of the Old Dominion.
dovernor Floyd is a native Of Virginia, but q
graduate Of South Carolins College Of the year
ioLs' ana, take il must be somewhere about
I'D 10 a. years Of age He bears a consider
able resemblance to his father. who bore the
same given name as his son, and gave him
ancestral claims to the office of 0overnor of
virginia Gov. Floyd, the father, was not
only OF Indian descent, but exhibited strongly
marked Indian features, and indicated his
aboriginal extraction By his hair also. rec.
Slieet meeting him andOenry Clay at the Hot
Springs Of Virginia in 1926, and stood by. one
day, in the piazza Of the hotel highly amused
at hearing the gallant Kentuckian run the
firginisn on the subject Of internal improve
IneDts, and also on the corduroy roads of the
Old Dominion, and advise him TO let Uncle
Sam build better highways for her This was,
of course, before Virginia had constructed her
now ncble turnpikes. through valleys and over
mountains, to her Hygeian fountains Gov.
Floyd, the son, also has traces Of the Indian
both in complexion and hair, but is, as is
quite natural, much less Indian than his i'm
mediate progenitor Gov. Floyd, the elder,
was great fsvorite with our State; so much
so, that in 1882 she gave him her electoral
vote Tor the Presidency. Gov. Floyd, the
younger, has inherited his fathers popularity
with Us, and / trust we will not refuse TO be
guided by his wise and patriotic counsels.
His speech was an admirable one: bold.
fearless, even chivalrous, but wholly free from
bomhast or bluster. His clarion voice rang
truth into the ear, and planted it in the mind,
while his contagious patriotism and enthusi-
asm took captive the heart 1t was O speech
that will tell in the coming election. He
firmly upheld the constitutional and sacred
rights of the South, and the co-equsl SOW.
ereignty Of the several States Of our confeder-
ate republic and national Union, and ably and
cCnclusively vindicated the constitutionality,
