a Democrat he is. The white Re
of state, who have

thirty-five years, except
the two Cleveland terms are doing
much growling, but those who

they come to Washington, that it
is necessary for them to have Sen-

they can get it. Not a little amuse-
was Washington
when the news of Senator
attempt to get
Wade Hampton to throw his in-
to the administration

office of post master at Columbia.
Gen. Hampton is a poor man, and
one of the reasons therefor is that
he could never be bought. That

understanding that if, after a
practical test by army, they
proved satisfactory, twenty thous-

brought a vigorous protest from a
well-known fire arm
company, which claims to have a
pistol of American design and
manufacture, in every way as good
as the German pistol ordered to be
purchased for army, and
which the Board or Ordnance and
Fortifications, which recommended
the purchase, did not even
The protest will not prevent

put a spoke in the scheme to
twenty thousand more of
