Senator Hampton did not vote tol
anybody In the November general

ground that he had left bis registra.

by refused to vote for the Democratic
nominee and had endorsed the inde.
pendent ticket. The result was that
when the legislature met with about
120 OF my friends in the senate and
house the reformers divided between
M. L. Donaldson of Greenville and J.
L. M. Irby OF Laurens, a few Of my

who only received 40 odd votes. On

1T comes in bad grace from The

leaving Hampton alone, about not
naming him. Every well informed
man In South Carolina knows that In
'76 that newspaper exerted all OF Its
influence in behalf Of Chamberlain 3

inpudence for it now to declare il

can never know and that l have no

as any other one man in South Caro-

great soldier and did tine state an in.
estimable service in helping rid us Of
the horde OF carpet-bag thieves and
TO throw off negro domination. The
men who howled him down at Aiken
for the insult he offered them were
the men who had been most active at
Hamberg and at Ellenton, where the
two riots occurred that broke the

Carolina.

caused his defeat by persuading him
to do what he did. But all South

The News and Courier and none
Of its kind have right to conjure
