Governor Thompson Declines.

Washington special to the News and
Courier: The secret Of Governor
Thompson's unexpected visit to Wash
ington is out, as appears from a state
ment made to-day by gentleman who
was instrumental in his coming. Said
the letter: 'Governor Thompson las
been here on little visit to some Of his
friends. who desired him to. become per-
,sonally known to the President. He
made most favorable impression at
the white house when he called with
Senator Hampton, and was given to
understand that an important Federal
appointment would be offered him if he
would consider its acceptance. The
proposed appointment would have been
highly complimentary to Governor
Thompson personally, as well as to the
State of South Carolina. but he said
promptly that he was unwilling to re-
sign the Office Of governor merely to pro-
mote his own interests.n
