Ono effective reason why the Hon. WADE
HAMPTON has been beaten was that he did not
vote the Democratic ticket at the last State
election In South Carolina A new set OF poll
ticians had arisen there with good deal Of
Farmers Alliance talk mixed In with their
counsels but they nominated their candidate
for Governor. T1LLMAN. on a straightout and
unblemished Democratic platform. Senator
HAMPTON. having been defeated In the Conven-
tion, was besought by tho Republicans
who nominated q HAMPTON Democrat named
HASKELL, to support their ticket. but the Sena-
tor refused and announced his continued adj
hsrence to tho Democrats. When election
time came, though, Gen. HAMPTON didn't vote.
and consequently the South Carolina Demo-
orats have replaced him. not with the candi-
date Of the Farmers Alliance. but with another
Democrat who had voted the party ticket

Facts To he Remem bersd.

In the late election, which resulted In vio-
tory for the Democracy, tho pivotal struR-
gle was here In the city and State Of New
York. II New York had been lost to the
Democrats, success elsewhere would have
been OF comparatively little value.
In that struggle here In the meerop-
oils, Mr.. CHARLES 3. FAmcHILD. Presi-
dent CLEvE1ANDs Secretary OF tho
Treasury, and still his most intimate
friend, with the three daily papers which
have supported and advocated Mr.. OnEvE-
LAND through thick and thin. namely.
the Net0 York Times, the Commercial Adver-
tiser. and the Eucnino Post. were oil strenu-
ously engaged in favor Of tho anti-Demo-
cratic, PLATT-Mugwump. mongrel ticket. or,
to speak more exactly. tho PnATT- CLEvE-
LAND ticket; and Mr.. CLEVELAND was un-
doubtedly In full sympathy with them.
although he had not the courage to avow
tho fact but skulked In the dark behind his
Secretary and his newspapers.
II that ticket had been successful. tho city
Of New York would have been turned over
to the Republicans as completely as Phila-
delphia has been turned over to them; and
the State OF New York would have been
turned over likewise.
But tho great old Democratic organization
OF Tammany Hall with the Democratic
masses behind It, was on tho other side; and
TEE SUN was with them.
Tho result was that tho ePnATr-CLEvR1AND
combine was beaten. and the Democracy
triumphed once more and still keeps possess
sion Of its ancient stronghold.
In that contest GRovKn CLEVELAND with
his friends and his influence was hostile to
tho Democracy: and he wss defeated at the
polla a ho deserved.
