DIDN'T STICK TO HAMPTON
When Votes Counted. Blease Cast
His Vote For Irby, Record

SHOWS.
Columbia, Sept. 29.-Special: At
the Red Shirt" meeting in the Co
lumbia Theatre Wednesday night.
III his address to the followers of
Wade Hampton of 1876. Governor
Cole l.. Blease elected great ap-
plause by his declaration that as a
member CT the House Of Represen-
tatlVcs iii 1890 he had voted for
N2dc Hampton for Senator. An
examination Of the journal of The
house Of Representatives for that
year shows that while Mr. Bleasc
did vote for Hampton on the first
ballot, which was purely formal, he
voted ON all succeeding ballots for
John l.. NJ. Irby, who was elected
over Hampton on the seventh bal
lot.
The journal shows that in accord
ance with the Federal law, each
house balloted separately for Sen
ator on Tuesday, December 9, 1890.
The vote in the house stood: For
hampton, 81; for Irby, SO; for Don
aldson, 33; for j. ]. Hemphill, q;
for E. S. Keitt, 2; for G. ID. Till
nan, l; for Robert Smalls, 3. None
OF the candidates received a ma jor-
lty, either in the House or Senate,
and in accordance with the law, the
two houses met in joint assembly
the following day, when the first
joint ballot was taken.
The journal for Wednesday, De-
cember, 10, 1890. Pages 221 to
223, shows that on this, the sec
ond ballot, 1rby received 63 votes;
Donaldson As; Hampton AZ; Hemp
hill 3, and Smalls l. Those record
ed as voting for 1rby (Page 222)
are as follows: "Messrs Alder
man, Bissell, Blake, Browning, Buc-
hanan, Buist," etc.
The third ballot, on Thursday
December, 1890, pages 244 and 245
of the journal, show again that
Blease voted for Irby, as he did
on the other three ballots taken the
same day. On the fourth ballot of
that day, December IL, which was
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1911-10-12

the seventh ballot in all, Irby was
elected, the vote standing as fol-
lows: Try los: Donaldson 8; Hamp-
ton 43; necessary to a choice, 70.
The record, therefore, shows that
while Mr.. Blease did vote for Wade
Hampton on the first formal ballot,
in the House, he did not vote for
Hampton at all in the joint assem-
bly,, when the really decisive ballots
were taken, but voted for Irhy each
time, six in all.
1t is interesting to note that Mr..
Ira b. Jones, then also a member of
the house and now a candidate for
Governor against Mr.. Blease, voted
for Irby all the way through, hay-
ing been appointed chairman of the
ways and means committee by Irby,
who was then Speaker, and Jones
succeeded lrby as Speaker, when
lrby resigned to take Hampton's
place
