Has GONE TOO FAB.
What a Friendly Paper Says About
Senator TcLaurin.

The trouble with Senator McLaurin
appears to Be that he lost his purpose
and permitted himself 10 be sWerved
from the path which be had msrked out
for himself. So soon as be made known
that be had thrown Of the yoke Of Till
manisn and would not take the Bryan
medicine offered him unless he liked it,
there began q systematic sfort to drive
him Gu. Of the Democratic party. The
6ce vas strong aid continuous, and
meantime he VAS the object Of Repub.
lican hattery sad made the dispenser
st Washington Of Republican patron
age in South Carolina. Lured by one
party in the same direction in which he
was being driven by the other, his
strength fsilsd and he everstepped the
bounds be had set for himself. Even
at the beginning Of his political devia.
tion-this word doesn't convey the ex.
| sct shade Of meaning but is employed
for lack of better-he stood for poll
cies which were at variance with the
Democratic ersed; ne do not mean this
new hybrid concern which maaquerades
under the name Of Democracy before it
became diseased; but heshas gone
bow.shot beyond his original purposes
ard has committed the fatal mistake Of
accepting Republican committee assign
ments and, if recent reports be true, Of
attending Senate Republican caueuses.
His friends and sympathizers outside
Of South Carolina had hoped that be
would declare his doctrines-With some
Of which they did not agree-and
chance his fortunes inside his party,
anxious, as they we're, to see what de-
gree Of tolerance there is in that State
sor a healthy Democratic independence.
rhey arc accordingly disappointed that
be has gone SO far RspuolicanWsrd, it
having been hoped by them that if, as
was forsssen, be was denied committee
assignments by the Democrats he would
decline those ofsred by the Republi-
cans and be content to take position
Of digniisd isolation. We thoroughly
believe that Senator McLaurin was en-
si1e!y patriotic and conscientious in
the positions adverse to those Ct his
party which he assumed year ago, for
70 bad OF self9h motives animating him
can be OWNED. He could not hope to
rise to higher rank than that Of 5sna-
tor, and Senator he was and could CON.
tinue to be 30 long IS he remained in
line With the dominant element" in
mis- State. He deliberately chose to
get cut Of line, certainly with no hope
OF promotion for he can not aspire to
anything higher than tae Ssnatorship;
but he has COTTON too far cut Of line
and We fear thas the good work which
he hao inaugurssed in South Carolina
will Enffsr nack,se IN con6squenoe.-
