GENERAL WADE HAMPTON.

In answer to one Of his old soldiers,
who asked permission to bring his name
again before the people of South Caro-
lima for public office, General Hampton
recently wrote the following letter:
columbia. s. c.. Dec. 13, 1892
Dear Tanner,-I am obliged to you for
your kind letter. which reached me a few
days ago. Under no possible circum-
Stances or persuasion would I take any
place offered me by South Carolina. I was
Iprged to become candidate for Governor
AT the last election, but l refused. Nor
would l accept the position If every man
in the State desired me to do So have
Settled my accounts between the State
and myself and 1 am perfectly satisfied
with the result.
\ Il am rejoiced only to know that the
Affection of my old soldiers for me re-
pains mistaken in storm as in calm.
. Thanking you for your kind interest,
yours truly. WADE HAMPTON"
There is a tinge Of sadness-perhaps Of
this letter that is deeply
pathetic, and If the bitterness is really
tn General Hampton's mind 1t is not to
be wondered at, for surely no man de-
serving so we'll has ever been treated so
I'll by his native State.
General Hampton may well say that the
accounts between himself and South Caro-
lima have been settled and that he has a
right to be satisfied with the result From
boyhood up he has offered his life and all
that he possessed without stint or hesita-
ton, for South Cardinals good, and it is
not very creditable TO the State that, in
his old age the great services Of his rast
life are wholly ignored. and he veteran
war horse that he is, is turned out upon
the commons to find a living as best he
may.

would bring the bimetallic congressman at
