The Lily Whites and Black aud Tar Re.
pubiicans to oAmalgamate.


CHARLESTON. S C, Oct. THE
two factions of the Republican party
are about to amalgamate and one
straight ticket for Governor and State
officers is to De named The executive
committee Of the Webster faction and
of the Lily Whites will moeta at Colum
bia on Wednesday, the 7lh instant,
and an attempt will be made to heal
the differences which have been exist
ing between the factions for some
time. Senator Quay Of Pennsylvania
has been delegated by the national
Republican executive committee to be
present at the meeting and assist in
the amalgamation.
This step the leaders OF the factions
have been looking forward to for
sometime. Each faction wanted to
take the initiative but each was fearful
Of offering compromise. The lead
ers foresee that no possible success can
befall them as long as they remain
divided, and that as soon as they
amalgamate their strength. their hope
of success will improve For this rea-
son they have been anxious to come
together. They only wanted little
encouragement and this encourage
ment has come from the head OF the
party. Some correspondence has TAX
en- place and as result, the effort will
be made to amalgamats, under the
direction and assistance OF the national
executive committee.
Col. r. NJ. Wallace, Of Sumter, it is
understood, will be the unanimous
choice of the party for Governor. As
regards the other State officers, they
will be selected from the two tickets
nominated by the rival convictions at
Columbia few weeks ago. The tick.

DR.. Pope stood no show and even
could not poll the full strength of his

support from those outside OF the par
ty.
On the other hand Colonel Wallace
is very popular throughout the State.
He is highly esteemed in Sumter,
where he is the president OF the Sum
ter National Bank. He is also inter
ested in one of the largest uanks IN
this city. In addition to his personal
popularity, he has the STUFF" whlch

that they will now have an opportu-
