The Spartanburg Journal does for Cougre ssman Latimer Just what The Observer intended to do for him and other public men?to ask fair play all around; a cessation of abuse and a thoughtful consideration of the opinions and the records of these men Here are the notes we had made In our memorandum book as to Mr. Latimer?"a man of much ?~?Kor? ho aotu orArilf. for?n iMnokt mure ocuno tuau uv bv? v.v^.? not cherish personal animosities;" " b an never rocked the boat." All these qualities ?o to explain bis political success and his ong continuance In office. It may be added that tie 18 watchful or the Interests of his constituents. Such a man cannot be summarlly dismissed with the title of "pretender." What we say for Mr. Latimer we say also for the man who Is looked upon just now as the other leading candidate In the race for the United States senate next year?Mr. McLaurin. The very grave charge Is made against him that be Is a traitor to bis party; that he is using his senatorial Influence to build up a republican party In the south. 11 this charge were true, or if there were sufli. cleat reason to believe it true, the condemua< Hon which be is receiving from some quar ters would not be too severe. But we do not believe It Is true. He appears to us as sincere and conscientious in the views that be holds; and as they relate to economic and admlulB trative questions more than political there can be no Just ground for accusing blm 01 abandoning the democratic party on thai score, even If these views ure at variance wltl those held by the party In the state? which, however, remains to be seen. We are fraub to say that we believe bis ideas on several o) these economic questions are correct and ii carried out would be for the best interest o: the southern people. ? --* uoiri trtp Mr. lyfitlmer and X1UU nutlb nouaivoaiM Mr. MoLauria we say lor all oiber candidates Treat tbem fairly. These are the two who are now receiving most attention. Later oc there will probably be others to enter tb? senatorial race, which now promises to be tht star performance of the 1902 campaign. D 8. Henderson ot Allien has declared that ht will rnu, aud the name oi George Johnston* of Newberry has been mentioned in severa quarters. .\il these are men of marked ablli ty ; it Is no presumption In auy ot tbem tc aspire to this ulgb office ; aud tbe best way tc elect tbe best man for tbe place Is to treai them all lalrly. f.Vv'.
