PRESS COMMENTS ON THE LATE STATESMAN. Views of the Editors of State Papers Briefly Expressed. (Jen. Earlti was essentially a people's man." He believed in the people, and, quite tint irallv, J the people believed hi him. He, considered them always, and, a-; we well conceive, with earnest solicitude lor their welfare. To; those who did not annreeiato this it seemed strange that a man soj grave and outwardly so ci.ld, so J dignitied. so unlike the "good! fellow" of polities, could have, gained such favor as he did amongl the masses. lint they seemed to devine his sympathy, they respec-1 ttd him ihev believed in him, and on every occasion save one, i when he fought against a revolt!- j Hon, they rallied to him. Thej very gallantry of his battle against i a majority in 1S30 seemed to e idear him to that majority in following years. The public service of Gen. Earle, as Stale Semi tor, as attorney general and as circuit judge,! was service well performed. He was faithful to his trusts, and able: in ihoir rticroiarcrp Tillt fpW Of I his official acts were ever assailed. j As a citizen Gen. Earle was! progressive and public-spirited, j lis domestic lite wa? of the most ?ngaging character. In politics there were few men ,vho nad such poise, such coolness uid self-command as he. He was i superb fighter, yet contrary to he general impression, but an ndifferent planner. Ilis campaign lor senatorship last sumner gave a striking revelation ol i tins to those who had b?lreved turn a strategist. Volunteer friends did what they could for him in headquarters of their making; but he gave thein little aid, relying with the serenest confidence upon the favor of the people. The State. What a noble gentleman he was i is best understood by an insight into the reasons actuating him in! refusing to allow his name to be used before the Democratic eon-i vention in 1888 as that of a gu i bernatorial candidate. Had he' consented, he would have been nominated and elected. Of that there is no doubt; for even after; the positive announcement of his| declination, he received large number of votes. Why did he ?! Simply and solely because, as! Governor Richardson's personal friend, he was informed of his plans and purposes. That knowl- j edge made it impossible for bimj to become a candidate in opposi-j lion to Governor Richardson. The strongest kind of pressure wac I brought to bear upon him, it was; urged I hat it was his duty to his State to accept the nomination and lead the army of Reformers to tl e achievement of the govern- j mental reforms lor which they' were struggling, but 'ike the rock of'Gibraltar, he stood un-j yielding to his conviction, that honor would not permit his eandi-acy. In the heated passions of those troublous times, some condemned him, but to day there is not a man in South Carolina who does not commend and ad V . v - TtT'i T "*V * mire his course at thai lime.
