The general results we gather are that
the Governor Is holding his strength in

ton, Marion, ltichland and Union; that
ne has lost heavily in Newberry, Edge

Fairfield. Chester, Greenville. Laurens

the other counties he lost some ground.
1T IS a curious and significant fact
that III all these letters from Intelligent
and observing supporters of the GOV.
ernor there is no mention of act or acts
OF his which have won him popular
favor. One or two men say generally
he has made good governor; his Gin

enthusiastic citizen in Richland ap-
proves the sand in his old craH."
Most of his friends, however, declare
that the point in his favor is the abuse
OF him by the newspapers, or the belief

1t was time that the line should be

Mr.. Meredith inquired whether the
gentleman would not take the word of
the doorkccpcr that this appointment
was necessary.
MIR. Fithian replied that he would not.
The dSorkcepcr was anxious, like every
other man, TO get his pets in office.
MIR. Butler, OF Iowa, said that the
House was to determine today whether
its legislation was to be based on scnti-
ment or reason, whether its action
should be based on the judgment ofmcn
or on the sentiment of people who did
not know the difference between wind
and patriotism.
Mr.. Blount earnestly opposed the
resolution. No reason had been pre-
scntcd why this additional appointment
should be made. He trusted that the
House would put an end to these unnec-
cssary appointments.
Mr.. Simpson hoped that the Den o.
Gratis would understand that the time
had come Tor some legislation. He was
afraid yesterday that they had lost sight
ol this TACT and was about to establish
new system Of reciprocity. He saw
no need tor this appointment and
thought the time had come to call q halt.

FOOLISH FARMER FUNSTON.
Ills Silly objection to tho iInvestigatIon

tho present law for the collection of
revenues by means of duties upon i'm
ports, and explained briefly the purpose
OF the resolution, and SAID the commit
tee dld not propose to make junket-

MIR. Funston of Kansas said he would
not oppose the investigation, If it was
lalr and impartial, but it would be con-
Quoted upon partisan basis. There
were ten men against five, and the testi-
mony would he biased. The inference
TO be drawn was that the farmers were
opposed to the present Mckinley tariff
The investigation should be properly
conducted, and the farmers should come

10 the committee to send for persons and

be obtained for? TO introduce a bill
To reform the tariff and repeal the Nc.
klnlcy law? No; the Democrats were
afraid TO do that. Why not investigate
the Mckinley bill? Thcy were afraid
OF the tariff question. The only enemy

every over running OF the graSShopprrs,
every untoward circumstance that
affected the country, WAS attributed to
the Mckinley bill.
Mr. Lewis OF Mississippi regretted

of a farmer. lie was equally ignorant

Kansas was afraid of Justice. His

The committee was not given in good
faith lie could not deceive the farmers
OF Kansas. Everything that Il farmer
used had been increased by the McKin-

the difference between a sheep and a
voter. lie was ignorant of the price
OF corn, and entirely ignorant of eYery-
thing that pertained to agriculture,
and he has not yet hea ii from the last
election. LaAghtcr
Mr. Mckinney of New Hampshire
said MIR. Funston had 10 right to charge
that the investigation would be con
Quoted on Il partisan basis, or that the
country would be deceived by the re-
port preSantt It.
