Especial News and Courior.
Is Washington, Juno 2S.--One Of
the most interesting topics Of dis.
cussion in the South Carolina colony
today was the report that Repre-
sentative Jasper Talbert has boon
selected to make the raco against
Senator McLuurin. Tho subject
was freely discussed by some Of the
South Caroline Congressman, and
they Indicate that tho movement is
we'll under way. 1t was said that
the opposition to Senator M&I.aur,n's
election comes from that class of
"Reformors" who fear that the young
Senator has strayed too far away
from the "Roform' camp. 1t was
said further that Nh. ~Tulbort is
about tho on4y man who is able to
go upon the stump and "talk out'
LcLaurin. Representative Stan
yarne Wilson was full Of The Talbert
movement, and he seems to think that
Senator McLaurin has a rongh road
to travel before he secures an elect
ion at the hands Of tho people.
Representative Strait is uncertain in
his> opinion as to whether McLaurln
can win. Representative Stokes
and Latimer are non -comuiLtal on
the subject, but thoy would not
weep if McLuurin should mcet de-
feat in the coming election.
Representative Talbert evidently
does not propose to JUMP the Con-
gressional track and ,pursue the
Senatorial will o'the wisp. When
spoken to on the subject he said he
is very we'll satisfied with lis posi-
ton in the House Of Representatives.,
and, y ,rciorc, he does not intend to
enter the Senatorial race "[n tho
first place" said he, "wo have one
Senator from Engciield already, and
I know full we'll the people Of the
State do not intend to send two mon
to the Senate from the same county.
l like the life / am now loading, and
| will be ccntont if they will let mo
remain here. [ appreciate tho fact
that seat in tho Senate in tho
United States is very tempting, but
i only ask to be let alone. l do not
Tntend TO enter the race against Sen
utor McLaurin.
Later in tho day Mr.. TaIhort won't
pvor to the senate chamber and had
long talk with Senators Tillman
and Mci,aurin, and he took occasion
torwss~4e Senator McLaurin that he
would not oppose his (McLaurin's)
election to the Senate.
1t ia understood that Senator Nc
Laurin is preparing to open his cam
paign, and he will make thorough
canvass Of the State.
1t is pretty we'll understood that
the Republicans intend to pass
the tariff bill substantially as it pass
ed the House, and all Democratic
opposition to it cannot avail much
moro than has already been accom-
plishcd. The leading Democrats of
the Senate have advised Senator
McLuurin that his political interests
will be amply protected by his peer,
Senator Pritchard, Of North Caro-
lima, and he can be spared from tho
Senate as soon as he is ready to go
upon tho stump. Several Of the
leading Democratic Senators have
volunteered to go into South Caro-
lima and help him with his cam
paign Senator McLaurin says he
is willing to abide the decision Of tho
people in the State, and he will not
require any outside aid to present
his 9ause.
Two fourth class postmastrrs were
appointed in South Carolina to-day,
as follows: j. G. Walker, at Ninety
six, Abboville, vico A. Men Turner,
removed, and John BampGeld, at
Demassee, Hampton County, vice A..
E. Owen, removed.
