fed and great man.
While ON the train he remarked to us 81

mca. | am glad to find such unprecedented
unity and zeal among my Alliance brethren
i'll South Carolina, they have never ceased
To work a single day from the time they
first organized at Florence. And can say
withou, any qualification that you brethren
in South Carolina have the best State Sccrc-
tary in the United States" t\nd hy way
Of rarcnthcsis am glad to tell my brethren
that MIR. hed was unanimously rc-elcctcd
again to the office of State Sccrcta1y.)
