The Charleston News and Courier saws
and probably believes:
There seems to be disposition or
the part OF some of the new spapers ir
North Carolina to crowd Major Sted
man OIL the Senatorial course. They
publish loit eulogies of Ransom and
Jarvis, and talk about Ashe and Osborne
and Merrimon, and other men whose
names are not known outside of the little
communities in which they live, but they
trv to boycott Major Stedman and fail
or refuse to mention his name"
Our understanding of the matter is
different. We have not observed any
disposition on the part of some new 5.
papers in North Carolina to crowd
Maj ,r Stedman off he senatorial course. ="
We have It from close friends of Mai.
Stedman that he is not a candidate; that
he Is not on the course" in the sense of
pu 'hing his own candidacy. lie would

legislature elected not in any degree, in
whole or IN part. especially in his inter

that would do credit to North Caro-

IHE CITIZEN has reason, moreover. to
believe that Major Stcdman is growing

interesting figure in North Carolina pol |

interest will increase rather than dimin-

But i, is well for the Charleston News
and Courier to be informed that there
are other gentlemen from this part of
the State who have hardly been men,
toned that have their friends and their
strong claims, too, on public recognition

liif Dlk AND THE rLOrGHBOY.
The most violent opposer of Richmond
Pearson in his present preposterous
proposal to represent the Ninth Con.
gressional district in Congress, must ad. c
NIT that the Duke has shown, thus carly Il

tool, politically, that amounts almost to +
genius. b
Pearson makes statements in his Y
aoortive attempts at speaking, that are ,
proof that he knows no more u
about the feelings, the needs, the trials, p
the aspirations, the hopes or the amhi- d
tions OF the people of the Ninth Con. y;
