The telegraph misrepresented Ex-Governor
Orr's letter on the political situstiOn in South
Carolina The letter, which is candid and e1-
eeiingly sble production, was called forth BY
statements thst the writer had cast bis fortunes
with the " reform - party in that State. On
the contrary, Governor Orr writes that he sup
ports the regular republican ticket, and he shows
conclusiyely that all reform must come through /.
the republican party. He recites the reforms
already accomplished by its agency, and de-
monstrates that it is useless as it is unwise to
inaugurate an outside movement. He counses |
all who earnestly desire political reform to join
the republican party, in order that it may have /
ss strong and INTELLIGENT support as possible.
