We uaw Ml to oppose l'.iin in his

head, and to-,I.iv we would do the
same thing Were we in a position to
make a similar choice between meit.
N?vt'rtholoss we congratulate .Mr.
Blonso on hi. success, and while we
fdncofcly regret his election, lhere is
no paper, no individual, in the Slate
of .South Carolina who ctn wish him
greater success or groa te i' achieve

If be sees Iii, he .-.in make of him
pell' not only a useful citizen, bul a
Governor of whom the whole poo?
pie, friend and foe alike, shall be
proud. ile has a w onder: ul oppor
tunity before him everything to
gail) and nothing to lo ?. Vet his I?
an lYnpleasant and unenviable posl
tion. By reason of his past record
ho will, for once at least, have to
desert his friends of the past In order
to do simple Justice to the people
who have chosen him to exercise the
highest official functions in tho gov
ern mont of tho State. It will take a
man to do all that .Mr. Moase will
have to do in order to "inane good"
in even tile most liberal acceptance
of the term. His is a hard task, and
WC feel sure that tile people of Hie
State as a whole will voice the same
honest wish timi we express when

rounded Governor (ti spite of these
roars and disappoint incuts w c wish

carry out thc determination he bas
expressed to make South Carolina
tho best Governor she bas over bad.
We certainly arc not; and we do
not believe lhere are a dozen citizens
ol' this State who are. so little as to
wisli disaster and disgrace lo follow
thc Blease administration simply lo
gratify that spirit of spite and ani
mosity thal glories most in being ?
able lo point out weakness and black
spots and say. "I told you so."
We opposed Mr. IMeasc and lost.
We opposed bim because we believ

Nothing short of proof by him to ,
the contrary will convince us thal we ?
w ere wrong. For i lu* nomi ol" the
State we hope be will prove that we
were in error. Having done our
duty as we saw it before the election, \
we are prepared lo do our duty as I
we see it now. Hi' will he our Gov- 1
