The race for senator has afforded surprise alter surprise for several months in entries and withdrawals, and ?11? uncertainly w as kept up until I he last minute today, when Col. latmpUiu put in his pledge shortly be I ore llie entries (dosed. That Mr. Grace would lie a candidate had been reported yesterday. Col. Lumpkin entered the race two years ago ngaiu>-l Senator Tillman hut withdrew nl'ler the campaign opened and alter he 11 :t * I cayva^sed several counties. He is a native of Ceorgia, but has lived in Columbia for lot years or more and is well known over the Slat*e as an accomplished orator and a favorite at reunions of tin* Confederate \ olenitis. He was himself a gallant soldier and is a member '?| a I'amilv distinguished in the history of his native Slate, lie is a titan of most lovable character and disposition. Mr. Crace i> a young lawyer of Charleston ami is regarded in that city as the leader ol the faction in oily polities opposed to (lie Klietl faction. Ills candidacy tor the senate. following close on the announcement o| Mr. Iilietl s candidacyv for llie senate, will perhaps have the effect o| making llie impression that Mr. Whet I has not the united support ol his home city, although In* was recently elected ntavor for a second term without opposition. The light between lite lilted and Crace tactions was evident in the recent Stale Democratic convention, when Mr. lilted and In-- Iriettds supported the candidacy ol Fdilor T. U. Waring for district delegate, and Mr. (irace, who at tirst aspired to be district delegate, then became a candidate for delegate at large, and subsequently for alternate at large, being elected to the hitter position. The other candidates for the United States senate have been in the (iold for some time, with the exception of Klietl. Grace and Lumpkin. That Col. Thompson would offer /or election as Adjutant General was also a surprise. He is one of the Ttcsf military men in the Slate and has been identified with the militia for a long time. Col. Ilenry T. Thompson is a son of the late Hugh S. Thompson, who was elected State superintendent of edeation onu the Hampton ticket, ami afterwards governor and | alter resigned that office to accept ? position in the treasury department muJer President Cleveland. Iienry T Thompson was born in Columbia Julv f>, 18.",9. He was educated at Union college, Schenectady, New York. lie was assistant professor in the South Carolina Military Academy for one U'nr and served as private secretary under his father when lie was governor. He was admitted to the bar in IS'vl and practiced at Darlington unI'd the outbreak of the \var with | Spain, when lie volunteered as cap'."ill of the Darlington Guards. He was promoted to major or the independent battalion and afterwards lieutenant colonel of the 2d South < Vrolina regiment. When ibis regim< nl wits mustered out of \ h-e Col. Thompson was appointed by I ievident McKinlcy a captain in the "f),h '"fan try, but he did not retain "ti. nosil ion vc v long, and resigned in order to enter business in his na-, jive State. Since that time he lias Hie position as agency director <>l the New York Life Insurance < onipany, with headquarters in Colnnibia. During his residenr,. iiere Col.
