MERE-MENTION..

A Havana dispatch of Sunday says
that about 80 of General Lees soldiers
are ill in the second division Hospital
with typhoid fever. The fever is at
tributable to the bad drainage of the
camp. .''""Emperor Nicholas, of Rus
sia, is said to be critically ill. ''''''The
appropriations of the present session
of congress will approximate $780,
O,0OO, of which about 250,O0O, 900
will 20 to naval aud military purposes.
General Gomez arrived in Havana
last week and was received with en-
thusiastic demonstrations. -. The SEN
ate has added to the sundry civil ap.

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-03-01

- There is more or less talk in the
papers about the probability of Con-
gresham Talbert becoming candid
ate for the United States senate against
Senator Tillman. Talbert has been
making capital congressman. There
is little question of that fact. But
Tillman has also been making a
good senator. We are not prepared
to endorse any and everything that
Senator Tillman might do. We do
not regard him as infallible. In fact
we think he is a long way from infali'
bility; but at the same time the sena.
is a man of unusual ability, and he
knows how to represent the best inter,
ests of his constituents. There used to
be good deal more unreasonable
prejudice in South Carolina politics
than there is now. The time has been
when the mere statement that a man
was "Conservative" or "Reform.
er" was sufficient to condemn him in
the estimation of the opposite faction.
But this does not 90 any more, we are
glad to say. Hereafter, for quite a
spell, men must either have merit or
be able to make believe they have it
before they can hope for considerable
advancement. Talbert has merit but
he has no more than Tillman. If he
should really become a candidate
against Tillman in the next election,
he would be smashed, and as we see it
from this distance, that would be the
fate of any other man who might have
the temerity to undertake such thing.
AS a matter of fact, however, we do
not believe that Talbert has ever Civ.
en- serious consideration to the idea oi
running against Tillman, and we would
suggest that others who may have such
an enterprise in view will do we'll to
leave the field to Talbert.
