House in M^sacKusets, the Presi dent sent the following letter to Idii. Thomas H. Daniel ccrresp-mdent of the Spartanbuv' He;hid: - My Dear Mr. Daidel: V \ *TtetIyteg to your tetter of August 12th. let mo say that I have perfect confidence that the people of South ( ;mdina wiU judge rightly in the senatorial contest, and I have ■ not the leant fear that they w ill believe that -Mr. Bleaae la or can be a r ricnd of the Ad ministration.'

He is now telling his followers that he is in favor of a third term for you, that, he will lovally support you if he is elected, and is rha^ir.j? other shnilar sta*©- r. ents that are At absolute Variance with his whole career and whole, record in and out or office.
