II consider the course which / took in
this matter to be for the best interest Of
the people of South Carolina and am
responsible to them alone for my action,
and Furthermore I still believe that my
course has met the approval of ma
jority Of the citizens of the state. Nor
do I consider them unthinking citizens,
but men who know and recognize as full
ly as any people on earth the rights and
duties and responsibilities OF citizenship
and who do not need the services of any
one to tell them their duty.

importuned to await the convenience of

sens to enter the contest brought on SO
unexpectedly and that for this reason
my action has taken the direction it has,
is unworthy of a man holding the high
commission which has been given you
by the people of South Carolina and
deserves no notice in this connection.
However, I may say for your bene-
fit that 1 alone am responsible for my
reply and will give account for the
course I have taken, to the people who
have honored me and not to any one in
dividual. In this matter I have done
what I thought best calculated to pro-
mote the present prosperity and con-
tentment of the people of my state and
shall continue to do so. regardless of
what any one man may say or thing
of my course. I did not think that

do any good, and acted according to my
belief.

A BREAK IN THE SOUTH.

The Nashville American sees trouble
ahead for its party in its section. 1t
speaks OF the probability of many
southern democrats. especially of the
younger element breaking away from
the party. because of It's latter-day poll
icies and dogmatisms, and aligning
themselves with the republican party,
which is, in GONE respects, and on the
enthusiastic mind" That paper re-
marks that there is a benighted and
bigoted element of the democracy who
refuse to "concede any such condition
or tendency In the south, but failure to
see it or refusal to acknowledge 1t does
not alter the fact that it exists. as any
intelligent observer who does not con-
fine his vision and knowledge to his
own door yard may discover for him
self"
Many othe. newspapers in the south
and in the north have seen evidences of
the coming break among the southern
democrats. There are hundreds of thou
sands of democrats. especially among
the younger ingredient OF the party, in
all the ex-slave states, who have been
awaiting for a fair opportunity to get
away from their party and to align
themselves with live. progressive and
powerful organization. The opportunity
to do this has come. The expansion is
