Now, if we have a free fight the
ants will throw their support to
the weakest-kneed reformer on the

a convention, for we will then get

Brawley and Hampton, who have
now the swing with the president
are backing Johnstone, I learn but
it is riddle with me for I can
only surmise, not being in Mr..
Clevaland's confdened. I have no
idea that MI. Perry will be ap-
pointed, but he may be given some
other office. Colonel Donaldson
worked so faithfully III Chicago
for Cleveland's nomination that
I think he will get his reward.
And by the way, I see it was
published that I fought the con-
frmation of Harris as postmaster
at Union. There is not word of
truth in this. I strenuously op-
posed his appointment, but when
it was made, simply contented N.Y.
self with refusing to vote for his
confirmation in committee. I was
at that time cunning for larger

very economical in Washington tc
live on such a salary. But 1 learn
that Caughman still counts on
holding his dual positions under
the Reform administration as

know what views the Governor

what do you think Of General
Hampton's letter."
eff you will remember, several
months ago 1 predicted that his
policy would be on the outcome of
the campaign next year, and
another attempt made to overthrow
the power of our white farmers
with the votes of sea island ne
groes. Ten days before this letter
appeared I wrote prominent re-
former in Columbia to look out
for it, as I had positive assurance
that such a document would
shortly appear. I believe that the
scheme is far more deepseated
than a hasty glance over
General Hampton's letter to The
State shows, and that underlying
it is plan concocted to not only
turn the government of South
Hfspadiaeed En61n6riey, fbif e cap
ture our congressional representa-
tiyes in the interest of Mr.. Cleve.
land and the gold kings. The
president has given up all hope OF
our State SO long as the reformers
dominate, and he believes that
through tho assistance of General
Hampton be can come upon our
intelligent white farmers the
same tactics that the democrats
used to overthrow the Negroes and
republicans in 1876. Every pos
sible plea will be made to the
Neglo to get him to vote the in
dependent ticket, and it matters
not what be the result, charges of
fraud will be setup by the ants,
and who will proceed forthwith to
organize a separate government
in Columbia independent of the
reformers. This, of course, will
bring about a conflict of authority
and the president will be called
upon to preserve peace. He will
send troops to our State, and wind
up by recognizing the Hampton
government, and have the senator
and representatives that they may
name seated in Washington.
General Hampton we'll knows,
from the experience of John c.
Haskellin 1890, that there is no
hope for his faction ever carrying
the State with Negro votes, and it
is plain to me that it is his design
to set up dual government at
Columbia and take forcible pos
session of all Office with the aid
of federal troops.

I am thoroughly convinced that
President Clevelandis at the back
of Senator Hampton, and will use
the government patronage in our

truly a horrible design to contemp-

will find that I am correct. 1t is

be generated by the shock to transform
both of the colliding bodies into gigan-
tic balls of vapor many times their
present circumference. Some have
thought that in case the center of the
earth is composed of solid and colder
matter than is the generally accepted
belief this might not be the case, but

ties must admit that | can not find a
more appropriate "inis" than the fol
