VIII Be Opposition to Capers.

There will undoubtedly be considerable
opposition to the confirmation of Mr..
Capers' appointment 1t is well known
that the republican organization in South
Carolina is united in urging the reap.
pointment of Mr.. Lathrop. Not onlv has
he satisfied the members of his own par
ty, but it is said that the legal profession
throughout the state without regard to
party has indorsed him for re-apnoint-
ment. In addition, it is said that Senator
Tlllman would rather see Mr.. Lathrop
appointed than any one whom Senator
McLaurin might name. 1t is therefore
probable that when the nomination OF
Mr.. Capers comes before the Senate for
confirmation there may be a battle royal
between the rival senators from South
Carolina. Senator McLaurin is said to be
prepared to stand by his present conVic-
tons in any emergency and having cast
his lot in favor of Mr.. Capers and a new
dispensation in South Carolina politics he
proposes to fight to the bitter end to sus-
tain the position he assumed in the Sen
ate last winter when he disregarded the
caucus dictation of the Democratic party
and supported the Republican admins
tration on all of the great issues of the
day
Another Step in the New Direction.

dations of Senator McLaurin and Mr..
Capers, contrary to the request of BOSS"
webster, who strongly urged a colored
man named Dickinson. Chafee was a Gold
democrat who recently entered the Re
publican fold. He was appointed with the
understanding that he will select Miss

when his term expires. 1t is also said
that he will have a hard road to travel
to retain his membership of the commit
tee' when the next campaign opens.
