cedes that there is also much 20 do on

but thinks that the South is especially In

The reason for speaking especially of
the South is that, In respect to its public

the contrast between it's politicians OF to-
Guiding even some Of its representatives OF
yesterday, Is disheartening South Caro-
lima can not contemplate with pride the
men who now contend for its political
honors. Tillman and Irby are the success
sors of the giants Of the days before the
healthy public sentiment which has driv-
en- men like Wade Hampton out OF poll
tics and which destroyed the manliness OF
Butler. 1t Is unnecessary to call the roll
OF Southern senators of the present The
few whose names are likely TO occur to
the average reader will likely enough pic
turc the contrast OF which we speak. Since
the hrst article on this subject appeared.
one Southern senator, Gallery OF Louisi-
ana, has demonstrated that he is worthy
OF the honorable place which he holds,
while Chiffon OF Texas has manifested
courage that recalls the honest gallantry
OF his colleague In his better day. As for
the rest they follow where Tillman and
MoEnery lead In the vulgar scramble for
share in the spoils OF the protective pol.
