WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Patterson, of South Carolina, informed the
president yesterday that he thought he
1.-THE president) had made mistake in his
course toward that state. The president
replied that it was an experiment, but
from representations received and pledges
made by Gov. Hampton and subsequent
developments there was reason to believe
it would be successful.
The senator said he would as soon have
Hampton as Chamberlain for governor
provided his accession to that office should
bring prosperity to the state and Hampton
should treat all citizens alike, and provide
means for a fair election as he promised to
do.
ln conversation to-day Senator Patter-
son remarked that, not as Republi can,
but believing in the right of instructions.
ie the legislature of South Carolina should
instruct him to vote in favor of the admis
sion of Butler or any other Democrat to
the senate he would do so, aud, besides,
he would vote for the admission of Demo
cratic senators from Louisiana. This
would interfere with his Republicism, but
his action would be based on the grounC
that state ought to be represented &C
corCingly to the wishes of her people a
represented in their state government.
1t can be stated on authority that tn
president made no bargain whatever witt
or promise to Chamberlain as a condition
of his retiring from the governorship.
