CHARLEST0N'S COLLECTOR
A CHANCE THAT A DARK HORSE
May BE APPOINTED.

The Bitterness of the Fight Between
Mowry and Walker Making it Posi-
BILE that the President will Decide that
Neither Faction Shall be Recognized
Other Inside Pointers from Washing
ton.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-Representatiye
HemphNl, of South Carolina, in an inter-
view about the Charleston Colleetorship
fight, says that he thinks the chances of
both Walker and Mowly are endangered
by the bitterness of the struggle. He
adds: "It must be said that the conflict
on the part of Mr.. Walker has been waged
Tor rather than by him. Mayor Courtenay
has vigorously taken up the cudgel against
MI Mowry in behalf of Mr.. Walker, and
but few days ago filled he columns Of
the Ne,cS and Courier with an elaborate
attack upon his character. To my mind the
facts upon which the attack is based show
only that Mr.. N0wry was the victim OF
unfortunate concurrent circumstances,
and not that the least criminality at
taches to him."
DARK HORSES.
In the event of the President declining
to foster anything like q facti0nal divis-
ion in the State by the appointment of
either of these candidates. Gen. j. d.
Kennedy and h. r. RiOrdan. one of the
editors Of the NetCS and Courier, will
present themselves rs the foremost appli-
cants. The latter has long resided in the
State and has done the party potent SER
vice through the columns of his paper;
but he is noo asnatIve South Carolinian.
That fact. however, will not have a feath-
er's weight against him.
