"What is your opinion of Mr..
Hayes and his administration 2"
"Mr. Hayes made mistake in
appointing Democrats to office, thus
making the party q hybrid organiza-
ton. 1t is not the idea on which
the government is based. It is tho
prevailing idea of our people that
the party is the highest manifesta-
tion of the will of the majority until
Improves failure, when it is supplant-
ed and another takes authority
and offices. Mr.. Hayes has under-
taken to run the office to which he
was elected by one party in the
interest of both parties, and in try
ing to please everybody he has
pleased nobody"
GRANT THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
"Who is likely to be tho next
president q
II have little doubt that Grant
will be. He has many good quail
ties-integrity, intellect, will, pa
triotisnl-and he was thoroughly
unselfsh. He has discarded the
old idea of State rights idea
that State should regulate it's own
affairs in any other way than as q
part of one great whole. Conkling
l also believe in thoroughly. I re-
gard him as a man of character and
Of a high order of intelligence. He
is we'll balanced, unselfsh, and if
elected would act for the interest of
the whole country, without party
prejudice. He represents the worry
highest order of American intellect.
If he were from Indiana, Illinois OF
Ohio he would be the nominee of
the Republicans without doubt.
The Republicans will elect the next
President and control both houses
OF Congress, and, further, the inter>
ests of the North and the great
West will soon override all section
alism. Among other possible candi-
dates ore John Sherman md
Blaine. The last I deem to be a
little too much of a partisan to have
serious chances of success"
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES..
"Who are likely to be the Demo-
cratic candidates ?"
''Tilden is out of the field. He
never can be President. Bayard is
a man of integrity and u good repre-
sentative Democrat. Thurman can
never be elected. He bids for the
Presidency, and no one who bids
for it ever can obtain it. Hendri cks
is an able Western man, who would
make, better Judge than President.
He is to all intents and purposes
younger than Thurman by at least
ten years. AS, however, there is
little prospect of electing Demo-
crat to the Presidency the task of
considering is an ungrateful labor.
FATALLY INJURED IN ATTEMPTING TO

leg rs to require amputation.
Monday night, having summoned

Chester, and DR.. Fewell, of Rock
Hill, the operation was performed,
but as WAS feared, it was too late,
and in q few moments the patient
