In ans vier to the question what would
barn been UM NStfM if lie bsd Leen BVSjIatasd
fully by the Legislature and the general gov
ernment, ChandWlair. gaya :
'Tho cont*'' * uow over and I d? not
caro to parr ' .t the blame for present
results or to aupwr to reflect upon particu
lar individuals or departments of govern
ment. This, however, I can say with con
fidence, that if I had been enabled to carry
ont the plans and purposes If expressed in
my inaugural message of D?o?mber 1.1874,
I should bare achieved all that Gen. Hamp
ton lias done. Probably bis full term of
office will be required to develop his plans.
Had I the same time, I should have effected
Uie same results. My primo object was tho
restoration of good goTcrnmsnt aud an hon
est administration, and I think it is general
ly admitted that what I proposed to this end
was sympathetic with tbs wishes of; tl va in
telligent community. 1 believe thai I pur
sued those plans consistently and with som?
degree of fi mi ness and courage. It Ss true
that I was not successful, but those who
have watched tho course of events iii the
State are perhaps better qualified than I am
to see who is responsible for the failure ; I
certainly do not feel that I am. I am still
of tlii opinion that a better condition of af
fairs would have been reached under my
administration than under that of General
Hampton, Lecture no man's civil or politi
cal rights would have been abridged or
denied. AsT have already inti matea, I re
ga?? the present supremacy of, thc Demo
artic party as due to methods which disre
garded the political rights of a great numbci
of the cltltens of a State. There was a largs
majority of the people of South Caroline
entitled to vote who desired a continuance
of the Republican administration, and I de
not think that General Hampton represent
tliia element. Still 1 believe ne will endeav
or to make a good and honest government
so far as its financial and practical depart
men ts are concerned.
I regarded the ignornncj and incxperlenci
of the masses of the Republican party ii
South Carolina os ono of the inherent ant
great difiicultias in th? political problem,
was under tho political necessity of makin]
political appointments to offices from a par
ty which as a rule, was not able to furnia!
competent o ill con to represent the govern
ment.
The majority of the Republicans in th
Legislature were noverbeartily Insympath;
with me during my first term of office
Nearly all the public meas*ires in which
took a deep interest were passed by minor
ties of Republicans and Democrats. Tb
reduction of taxes and a moro economics
expenditure cf public funds wera natara! 1
tho leading objects which I had in view; an
here it is but justico to eay that I met wit
almost ontiro opposition within tho ranks <
the Republican party. I had to extend tl
treater part Of my strength in resisting win
regarded as bod legislation, and I had vet
little time or strentah left to devote to tl
inauguration of better methods or the ei
actment of better laws. Of course my ide
of the way in which a reformation must I
brought about was through thc Republics
party, becauso I know that a majority of tl
i>eoplc ol tho State were attached to til
?arty, and that there was no hopes of ii
ucing them to join any other organizatio
even for local State purposes. But tl
habits of tho legislation w Inch had grow
up between 1808 and 1874 were too strong f
me. and the result was that I was overcor
and my policy only partially carried oi
A great deal or evil was prevented and sor
positive good was done, but only a smi
fraction of the results which were with
the pow* f of tho Repnb?csn -party, had
co-operated with m V was made evident,
feel bound to say tnat if I bad been hcarti
supported from 1874 to 1870 tho state of fe
ing which preceded tho nomiantion of Ge
eral Hampton would not havo existed,
brief, if my administration had been sc
ported by tho whole Republican party,
wonld have deprived the Democrats of th
grievances and made them acquiesce in f
eupiemacy of the Republican party fo:
long series of years."
He declares that, no change of circu
stances in political fortunes will ever lc
him to dany or depr?calo the generous a
hearty support which tho beat men of Soi
Carolina and tho Democratic party gave h
from l?Y-? down to tho nomination of Han
ton, and that no public man was ever ni
heartily or unselfishly supported by pol
cal opponents than he was during tl
period. As to the ability' of the colo
race to administer the affaira of governme
h5 caya :
' 'I. think the colored people B ?O just as cc
potent to legislate and conduct o governm
as any other people who have nod as li
education and oxperieuce. They only w
brains. It is idle to expect under any i
cums tan ces a good government withou
large preponderan co of intelligencn i
strength of every community in the Un
is measured by this fact. T: iiile, thor eh
I do not reflect on the colored race in say
that they were badly prepared for.the t
they assumed, I still contend that soeces;
self-government, under the law of unive
sufirago, requires education, intellect
training and a Large amount of accumule
political experience-in short, an um
standing of tho duties of citizenship. C
ce rn ing tho intention? of the r"?"*-*? of
colored peoplo of bouth Carolina, I th
they are lionest. Their misfortune has b
that they were not sure to anticipate or
low the effects of measures that were en ai
by their representatives until these messt
bad taken root and wrought their evil rest
And then they were too ready to be led
designing and unprincipled men,' who
came by fo^vi of superior o poor t uni tica |
leadens. aen ? say this, I d?sir? part
lnrly to cJd that I do not east more bli
upon the colored than upon tho white I
era of the Republican party in South C
lina. Upon the whole, I think my own:
has aa much to answer for any connec
with bad leadership in that State as the.
ored race. The result is the san'a,
leaders and ignorant followers could
work out tho problem of good governm
Thia has been the great obstacle and !
d ran co to tim success of tho Republican p
in the Soutl a States,', and it may b<
down .aa-IV. principal cause of. our c
throw.
"The difficulty was that a majority of t
who undertook to lead the Republican p
in South Carolina made a profession of
it ?es end lived .?c=&"Ungly. Now. Id
think any man. D Qualified to lead in pi
cal Ufo unless ho has such substantial u
esta in tho cenmuuity to which he bel
as will put him in complete sympathy -
the permanent institutions of that com
nity. It is not always necessary that a

that ho shall be a proper&iir?adfB bu
my judgment, it is necessary that ??e sh
have Something besides what ho m.w
by mere political, effort, to the end thi
may possess a spirit of conservatism o
disposition to do the fullest and most i
justice, and at the same time bo a safo c
eel as a public-spirited official or citizen
ConcerninR the resources of Sooth Con
and its nnancial ability, he speaks ai
lows:
.T have had political differences witl
people of South Carolina' that were
and deep, but upon- this. subject of th
sources of tho o?mmcdwealth I Have 3
entertained a doubt. Bouth Carolina i
