r 7 jp / i. a M <? ? THEORIES A3 TO THIS SUMMER'S POLITICS. Some Bad Guesses as to Who Will Land the Minor State Offices. Columbia, S. 0., March 12.?In my letter of last week I promisQd to say something about the body of the state ticket. As mentioned last week Hon. J. A. McCollough of Greenville may cut no little ice ? iu the race for lieutenant governor, if put in the proposed prohibition local-optiou-combi nation ticket. The incumbent, Hon. M B S)c Sweeny, will make the race again. Being a newsoaper man contributed in no small degree to his success in the last race, but the same thing may be said of him that was said of Governor Ellerbe last week. There is a silent vote of magnificent propotions to be considered when summing up his strength. It is impossible toestimate the vote that he would receive. These two gentlemen are the only candidates so tar in the race for that position. For secretary of state, M R Cooper, tf Colleton, is out. If D H Thompkins, the incumbent, does not take up the bedragged cloak that fell from the shoulders of his friend John Gary Evans, he will in all probability, be a candidate for re-election. He is a popular man and has made a good officer and will, unless combinations against him are too strong, make a good run. Attorney General Barber will not offer for re-election. He has carried a heavy load f<jx a young man and carried it well>^nd he now wants rest in the la willing department ?of the nation. lNm his shoes there are several candidates,among them, men of no little strength, G. Duncan Bellinger, nf Raronrpll H H Flrnnc r\f \' p tr. - berry, W P bollock, of ChesterfieM, CL Winkler, of Kershaw, and ex-Judge C P Townseud, now assistant in the office. For Snperintendant of Education, Hon. W. D. Mayfield,the in rumbent, has decided that he will not olTor for re election. He lias made a good officer and his triends are loath to have him leave if. This position is soueht by T C J obinson, of Pickens, who has for years been editor of the People's Journal, T G White, of Beaufort, who is also known through his newspaper work in the columns of the News and Courier, and W A Brown, senator from Marion. For adjutant and inspector general. though the least remunera tive office on the ticket, there are more candidates than for any other. The incumbent, Jno Gary Watts would like to serve again, and his assistant, Col. Bruce would like promotion. Henry T Thonip son, of Darlington, has been urged by his fnends to run, and Gen. R N Richbourg, of Columbia, is also prominently mentioned. The vet eran sergant-at arms of the senate, Col. J W Floyd, of Kershw, will also ask the suffrages ot the peopleThere is no opposition so far, and probably will not be, to Treasurer Timmerman. Thus you see four and may be five of the present ticket will ask for re-election, three positively will nr?t. Tt is a significant fart that there is no "sink or swim" together" sentiment on the ticket. Each officer is rowing his own boat,' and while there is no distrust of each otherwhere is no overwhelm ing confidence. This is a "new method?new men year" in politics. A sort of ring smashing sen timent is abroad in the air, and every candidate while paddling as hard towards the goal as he can, wishes to avoid even all appearance of evil. Nearly all of the congressmen will also have opposition, though in some of the districts the opposition has not yet announced itself. A report comes from Washington to the oftect that the Republicans ( . J will put out tickets iti every dis11 rittt and fire the woo ls in earnest, j this voar, but this report has so often proved to he "much cry and little wooP'that very little faith is , to be put in it. The effort to reorganize the old alliances being made just now, looks to many like a political move, but the farmer is not so easily caught by chaff every time and they want to see tlie nigger in the ... ?-4 -> !-? <i/\ I'mr I Unt* ! WUUU pile ueiuic tiiej luiuiui. It is said to be a sequel to Hie effort to organize the cotton growers, which was reported to a short while ago, as a new and probably more captivating plan, but which also fell flat. It is a very significant fact that these plans believed, as they are bv many to be political schemes, have fallen flat. It looks like the loadstone has los? its magnetic power, and the name which erstwhile claimed the multitudes is but sounding brass and tinkling cymbols. This seems to I be a political emancipation which calls tor the long metre doxology. However we need not congratulate ourselves too soon that tjie Greeks are gone, for we can not tell yet but what we may land the Trojan i horse in some form another before we are quite through. In fact, a certain Achilles has more than once hinted that he may return to (he storm in open fight, since things in South Carolina seem to have to be in such a mess, but there are more Archers to-day who know of-Achilles' vulnerable heel than once there were and a stray shaft may strike it.

There have recently been some inquires as to whether the reward offerered tor the Lake City mur derers by the governor applied to acofiviction in the United States court.'
