Governor Hampton is especially interested in tho
vote cast by the county which bears his name.
Early in the campaign there was some fear that it
would disgrace" him by going Republican, and
his Charleston organ published several stirring ap-
peals to the buldOzers the subject going so far
as to threaten that the beloved name would be
taken from the county in case the Republicans car

pretends to have any right to it, but because
the party majority in the House is small that be

Governor Mcclellan has created lively sense OF
gratitude IN the South by recommending in his
Thanksgiving proclamation that collections for the
benefit of the yellow fever sufferers be taken

Chairman Purcell's attempt to arouse the Demo
cratic party of this state to the necessity OF throw
ing Tiden and the coparceners overheard has been
a fiat failure. His brother editors have refused to
take up the cry and have pretty unanimously turned
on him for mentioning facts in such an open and I'M
Democratic way. One editor in Watertown, who
has long engineered The Dispatch of that place in the
interest of TIlden. charges Mr. Purcell with labor
ing TO disrupt and permanently destroy the Demo
cratic party" and declares his conduct not only
political bunder, but a political crime" This Is
interesting for 1t shows that the party is not dis
posed to unload, but Is determined 10 defend
attempts to buy a Presidency when they are made
by Democrats. Nothing could be more delightful
than this. There is more disruption IN II than IN
q ton of dynamite.
