Three southern states-Texas, Tennes-
see and West Virginia-have defeated
constitutional prohibition amendments
within the past three years, Michigan
also voted down similar proposition two
gears ago. What the aggregate vote of
the Prohibition party, was IN the country
at the recent national contest is not yet
known, the Geographic returns from very
few places making any mention of it
whatever. 1t is claimed by thenational
organ that Fiske polled upwards of 300,-
coo votes, or fully double the number
cast for st. John, but the figures so far
as given do not justify this expectation.

Our opinion is that John J. Ingalls,
was the John the Baptist of our success
In the present campaign. He prepared
the way by crystalizing public sentiment
in favor of Republican institutions as
against southern and copperhead suprem-
acy in his favorite chastisement of D. w.
VOORHEES,, George Vest and 10 Black
burn. By this memorable and powerful
arraignment he cemented as one mighty
cohesive mass the soldiers, their sous and
their kinfolks besides the patriotic senti-
tlment of the country. We wish to give
Senator Ingalls, his credit, which is so
justly his due, and return 10 him, as
party, our thanks without stint. We
have not seen this thought before, and if
we have second we will call for the
question on its APPROPRIATENESS City
Gazette.

We endorse the sentiment. William. M
Stewart, United States Senator for the State
Of Nevada, seems to Us to be better informed
about the real and practical needs and wants
Of the people Of this country than any other
man in public life. This is true not only OF
matters which concern the Pacific Coast but
OF matters which concern every section Of the
Union. The Nevada Senator is showing
broad mind edness and extensive as we'll as
particularly accurate information in the de,
tails Of things. 1t is not often, not mere
than once in life time, that a broad man
and \ man Of details is found in the one man.
Moreover, Senator Stewart has worked out
and can show practical plans for carrying out
and realizing the grand measures he has
fsrned, or at least that he sees.

AMERICA is the name of a new weekly
magazine that has just been issued by the
American Publishing Company, Of Chicago,
with quintette Of editors. 1t states that
its object is to advance American ideas and
strengthen American institutions, and that
it is independent and free ftem party affilia-
tons. The magazine has a large and tai
ented list Of political contributors as well
as q choice number Of fiction writers. The
paper further states that it is in favor OF re-
modelling the tariff on a basis Of what it
terms "Fair Trade" This sounds good
deal like Free Trade, but as this question
will be ably discussed it may see the error
it would make in advocating such measures
The magazine is good one in many respects
and deserves success. 1t will doubtless ind
many readers on this Coast as anything
American strikes our people about right.

THE RACE EOR SOLICITOR.

The campaign for Solicitor on the 7th
Circuit is now fairly open and before
the people, with five candidates from
the four counties. II. l.. Farley and
Stanyarne Wilson, Spartanburg; David
Johnson, Union; r. G. Watts, Laurens,
and O. L. Schumpert, Ncwherry.
The primary majority plan has been
adopted, and September II fixed as the
time of the first primary. The Herald
& News will give its hearty support
and endorsement to Newberry's candi-
date, Col. O. 7. Schumpert, because we
believe him to be the man for the place,
and we say this without any disparagc-
ment of the claims Of any Of the other
gentlemen in the race. He is an able
lawyer, an eloquent advocate and an
excellent gentleman, and we believe
the people of this Judicial District vii!
select him as their next Solicitor. AS
suring and encouraging intelligence is
received from all the counties in the
Circuit. 1t Is important that the friends
of Col. Schumpert should keep the
matter agitated and be sure to turn out
on the day fixed for the primary. We
hope the campaign will be one free
from personalities and be conducted on
a friendly and pleasant basis, and let
the candidates stand or fall on their
merits as the verdict Of the people may
decide.
