HAMPTON ON BRYAN.
What the Soldiers Statesman Saws
of the Leader.

In talk with a representative
of The News and Courier about
Bryan, Gen Wade Hampton SAID:
81 don't think it worth while
to raise the currency issue in the
coming campaign. There is 90
doubt about it that the great ma.
Jorlty of the people of the State
are with Bryan and his silver
views. Congress, in the end, has
to settle that question, and | think
tho currency should not be agi-
tated now. While | do not agree
with Bryan in his financial vic ns.
he Is most remarkable man and
he is Squarel y on an anti imperial
lstic platform which should be the
chief issue. Upon that issue
believe Bryan can win, and
shall vote for him. Upon that is
sue all Democrats can unite and
heal the differences in the last
campaign, which resulted in the
election of Mckinley. BRYAN
would certainly treat the south
with fairness, which cannot he ex~
pected from any Republican adj.
ministration. Bry an seems t" be
gaining strength in the north.
Pennsylvania Democrats have all
ready declared for him, and | be
lieve New York Democrats will
do the same thing. Imperialism,
If carried out, will be the death
knell Of this old republic, and
that issue is now of far greater
Importance than the financial
question. believe we should
send a strong delegation to the
convention pledged to an anti-im-
periaIistic policy. They will Ger.
tainly he for Brv.n, whose anti
imperialist views have made him
stronger than ever in the south,
and are increasing his strength in
the whole country"
