OARoLINA's PATRONAGE.
The Reform Congressman eugges
q Men for Appointment.


WASHINGTON, March Sl.-The reform
congressman from South Carolina sent the
following letter to President Cleveland to-
night:
Mr.. PREsIDENr-You ars aware OF the un-
fortunate factional division OF the Democratic
party in South Carolina. Il did not arise by
reason of any national issue, but was the result
of an effort looking to the reformation OF the
local government in that state The factions
are known as reform and anti-reform The un-
dersigned members Of congress represent VIII st
is known in South Carolina as the reform ele-
ment In local politics We have
made every effort consonant with the
dignity Of the positions we hold in fairness and
justice TO equitably divide the patronage Of our
state in delegation meeting, but failed on &C
count of the minority refusing to cooperate
with us in a proposition in line with the custom
that has prevailed immemorially in congress
1t is now your province to settle this matter &C
cording 10 what to you seems good and proper.
l3At meeting OF the Undersigned, it was
unanimously agreed torecommend the Hon. S.
Pope Of Newberry. S. c., for the position Of
marshal; Hon. l. H. hcCalla Of Abbeville
county for the collector of internal revenue.
Hon. Joseph H. Earle Of Greenville, for United
States district attorney, and the Hon. A. NJ
Ioumans of Hampton, s. c.. for collector Of
the port of Beaufort.
All Of these names belong TO our faction ex-
cept the Hon J. H. Earle, who was the nomi-
nee for governor of the other faction against
Gov. B, r, Tillman in 1890 His attitude toward
our faction since that time has~been that of a
conservative, in the strict sense of the word,
and he occupied the peculiar and striking posi-
tlon of standing between the two factions en-
joying the confidence and respect of both. We
concede this position TO him because we know
that his appointment would give universal sat
isfaction and pleasure to both factions
We honestly believe that we are entitled to
three -fifths Of this patronage on account of the
numerical strength of our faction, it being 90 =,
900 out OF the 80, 900 white democratic voters of
the state. We hope that you will regard this
as our final appeal for the recognition Of the
democrats whom we have the honor TO repre-
sent in our state With the hope that this un-
fortunate division may be satisfactorily ad-
justed we beg leave to subscribe ourselves, very
respectfully, your obedient servants,
