TAFT AND SHERMAN. • ft The standard bearers for the repub lican party this year will be lion Wm H Taft of Ohio, who was the almost unanimous choice of the Chicago convention for president, and James S. Sherman of New York for vice president Taft was Presi- t> dent Roosevelt’s choice, and his •election was a foregone conclusion, bat Sherman is another one of those rare political discoveries as Parker was four years ago when the demo- crats were hunting a candidate. We believe this a good pair to beat, and Bryan is the xnan to do it, despite the assertions and aspersions of the “Old Lady on Broad street” ^ DIFFERENCE OF OPIN ION. Possibly it is well that circum- foroed D C Heyward out of the race for the United States senate. We candidly believe that be would have been defeated badly, and bis palitioal record might have been die- by hisoppanents in a way not to his liking. Frankly, we consider Mr Heyward’s political career ended and not becauee of the condition of his health either. He is a moat delightful gentleman, and we trust he will soon recover.—Bamberg Herald. This it at variance with all other we have teen or heard, «oept as to the last sentence, bat the Bmaty asaalty has reasons for what RHETTAND BRACE. The entry of Mayor Rbett into tht* race for the U. S. Senate came as a surprise to everyone, but not more so than that of Jno I’ Grace. We huve puzzled over this matter no little and can hardly understand the why’s and wherefore’s. Mr Grace is an ambi tious young lawyer in Charleston and, it seems, has incurred the dis pleassure of the “Broad Street Gang” in some way. Consequently they nevei mu-e an opportunity to do all in their power to keep him down. There wa* some small politics in the recent State convention inuulgcd in by tne powers that be of Charleston in reference to the eketion of dele- gates to the Denver convention. Mayor Rbett was a member of the Charleston delegation and fought Mr Grace’s election as a delegate to Denver, and voted ^against his en dorsement by the Congressional district. This we thonght came with bad grace (no word play) from the Charleston delegation, and was frowned down by the other delegates. Now as soon as Mr Rbett an nounces his candidacy, Mr Grace comes out against him. We are of the opinion that he was induced U come out against Mr Rhett to “get even.” Two wrongs cannot make a right, and we doubt very senously'if either of these candidates has the entire consent of his conscience on these two points. Deliver us from such unstatesmanlike politics. can do in this matter necssary petition after it has been forwarded to him by his constituents. The Congressmen have nothing whatever to do with establishing these routes. It often happens the Congressman will accompany a route InsptWtor over a route, but that is only for political effect, he has no voice in it.
