We congratulate South Carolina that her citizenship has given this expression of indorsement to ' your administration. We also congratulate your county, which gave you a vote practically ten to four. We consider this the greatest victory in the history of your State, not excepting that of 1876, and some of us were in that campaign. Your people are happy beyond expression, making joyful demonstration at every announcement of the vote putting you ahead. We hope this means an end to Bleaseism in our beloved State.
