Realizing that it would be impossi ble to c mtlnue hia military education with such a handicap, Wilds consul ted with anura’ cr of eminent surgeons who finally told him that If he would submit to a very painful and unusual operation his leg might possibly be rs stored to Its proper' length.

Papers lay His Defeat Would Be a Great Loss to The Whole Country. — Ths New Orleans States says: The Northern newspapers have recently given much spaee to discussing the candidacy of one Col. W. W. Lump kin, who, from all accounts, has ap peared on the hustings in South Caro lina as an opponent to Hon. Benjamin Ryan Tillman for the United States Senate. Without stopping to Inquire aa to who is Lumpkin or ths strength or the prospects of his candidacy ths Baltimore Sun takes occasion to pay the following tribute to Senator Till man: - “But Senator Tillman is strongly Intrenched in the admiration of the people of South Carolina and it will be difficult to dislodge him. That South Carolina has long thought well of Mr. Tillman has been shown by his election for fifteen years to the high est offices the State lias Co bestow. But the country at large, which at first, feared the untamed fire eater with his pitdhfork, has come to real ize tbe sterling virtues of this rugged old Roman. His nnlmpeachable bon esty, his continual championship of the cause of tbe people, and bis un failing courage have won admlratloh and esteem even from his political enemies.

He Is a good man to keep in the Senate. The Senate and the country need men of his type now more than ever before.” In view of the faot that Ool. Lump kin Is muoh better known to the oor- the North to see the pitchfork” retired from the Senate than he is to tbe people of South Car olina there is not muoh reason to fear that Tillman is in any danger of losing his seat. For instance, the Charleston News and which has, never been accused of harboring muoh ad miration or affeotion for Senator Till man, regards tbe Lumpkin candidacy as little more than a bit of political by-play and is somewhat amused by tbe interest it has aroused in the North and the publioaMona there of the prominence and influence of tbe Lumpkin family in South Carolina Our Charlsstoa contemporary say?: “At things now stand, Col. W. W. Lumpkin, who is running for United States Senator from this Siafer, does nob appear to have much, if any, ebanoe of election; but he la A good citizen now, as he was a fine soldier in the war for Southern independence and be Is only doing what be had right to dd under tbs rules of the party. We do not know what his platform is nor do we care particular ly, except that he Is a Democrat of long standing and of good record. He probably agrees with the views ex pressed by Senator Tillman in his speech In Pennsylvania the other day t r at ’you cannot keep politics healthy when one party is always in control However, that may be, and whatever his reasons for making hts present oampaignj the colonel la entitled to .respectful consideration. He has not yet warmed up to hie work, but it is hoped that he will grow more cor tain of himseH as the campaign pro ceeds.” : ■ We do not believe it is too much to say that there will be universal re juicing over tbe faot that the activity of Lumpkin does not threaten td’ooat. Mr. Tillman his high and honorable position in tne Senate. We do not believe that tbe American people would regret anything more at this time than tbe defeat of the ruggedly hootst and fearless statesman from the Palmetto State.

When he had finished read ing bis letters he received a deputa tion of newspaper correspondents and dictated the following statement. “The dhst suggestion of a reception forme at New York came prior to the action of any of tbe State conventions and before there was any discussion of tbe next campaign.
