certainty TINT some OF the slender Re.
publican majority will refuse to support
Allison for reelection ia causing the

it is intimated tnat the farmers alliance

workirgnen and farmers are not satisfied
with Allison ard his position on the tariff,
and that they want q man who represents
the interests of the state rather than one

names of two members OF the house,

the one Republican above ell others
whom the Democrats of the state should
defeat. While they may not succeed in

IT WAS TEE PREsIDENr's FAULT.
WASHINGTON, d O., Nov. 14.-Presi-
dent Harrison ia responsible for Senator
Hsmpton's indignation at Postmaster
general Wanamaker. Wannmaker did
promise Hampton when Hampton WAS
here that he would not diqturb Hamp-
toms relative, Postmaster Gibbs OF 90
lumbia, until February. at about the
came time he said that he would not dis
tlnb tine postmaster at Anderson Court
House, 3. o., until February, both terms
expiring at about the same time. He
also promised the South Carolina Repub-
licans that Colonel Russell should be ap-
pointed postmaster at Colombia, and that
Mrs. Ooohrane, widow o. Senator Ooch-
rane, Of reconstruction days, should have
the Anderson postotlice.
Within short time after those prom
ises were made w. w. Russell, the I'M
tllal son OF Colonel Russell, whom
Wanamaker was to have made postmaster
at Columbia, came to Washington, and
going TO the President (who knew nothing
OF Wanameker's promises apparently,
persuaded him, on the ground that he,
w. W. Russell, would titus be helped in
bis efforts to build up white Republican
party in South Carolina, appointed w.
w. Russell himself postmaster at Ander-
SON Court House, and bis friend Virgil
Clayton postmaster at Columbia, being
obliged to make removals to do it. When
this news got out the South Carolina Re
publicans in town rushed down to see
Wauamaksr. They did not care about
Hampton's relative, ths postmaster AZ
Columbia, hut they did not want Wanna
makers other promises carried out.
~ did not know that W. w. Russell
and Clayton had been appointed" said
Wanamaker, until you told me. will
see the President about it,"
When be described his awkward situa
ton TO the President and st pealed to him
to help him to keep his promises the
President expressed his regret, and
authorized O suspension OF action
Wanamgker thereupon hung the Presi
dents appointments up, and it is pretty
aAfs TO pay that they will never be taken
of the hooks. Toe pcstmasters at 20
lumbia and at Anderson will probably
rernain until February, when Colone
Russell will succeed at Columbia and
Mrs. Cochrsne at Anderson.
