treasury candidate for the United
States Senate was defeated along with
Wade Hampton, who led the people in
peace and in war and who has never
been accused of violating any of the
laws of his State.
That of the Legislatures prior to 1890
were bamboozed and debauched that
of 1890 underwent the same process as
