AWAY WITH PEANUT POLITICS!
Ir Blease's Home Paper Gomes Out
For Ansel and Explains Wby.
For reasons that may or may not
be apparent, the Observer did not
intend to take any part in the race
for Governor. In the first place, it
never supposed for a moment, and
does not suppose now, that there is
the slightest probability of Governor
Ansel's defeat for re-election.
But attacks have been made on him
of such a character that we feel it
our duty to take some notice of
them?in justice to him as man and
Governor, not as candidate for reflection.
Let us say right here that, taken
all round?in the quiet, diligent,
business way in which he has discharged
his duties, in his fairness to
everybody and every interest, in bis
earnest, determined stand for the'
right, in his personal honesty and !
integrity, in the absolute freedom of j
his administration from even a taint j
of scandal?Governor Ansel has
made the beat Governor since Johnson
Hagood. He is eutitled by
faithful and efficient service to the :
full beuelit of the custom that prevails
in South Carolina that gives a
Governor a second term.
The Governor has been attacked '
for the ''extravagance" of his ad- '
ministration. The ' extravagance''
chat is harped upon most by legisla- 1
tive candidates consists in the large 1
appropriations to the higher institutions
of leainiug in the State. These
appropriations was made by the Leg* '
islature; the representatives in the
Senate and the House are solely re- ;
sponsible for them. If we remem
ber correctly there was do fight
made on any of these appropriiitions
in either the Senate or the House.
*If they are too high the Senators
'and Representatives are to blame?
not the Governor. He is not responsible
for any appropriation that
-was made by the Legislature,wheth- 1
^er high or low.
But he recommeuded an appro- 1
priation?which was not made, by
the way?for a new "Governor's i
.Mansion," So he did, and so did
his predecessors. The truth is. the j
present Governor's "mansion" is un- ;
worthy of the State. It is simply (
the remuaut, or unburut portion, of
the old Arsenal building. In a ,
stone's throw of it are a half dozen ,
or more private residences that are j
far superior to it in every particular,
except in the beauty and spaciousness
of the lot. It is a fine location
for a mansion but the mansion is not

Governor Ansel knew that if the
State should adopt his recommendation
and build a Goueruor's raansiou
he could not occupy it, for his
term of office?the second term as
well as the first?would expire before
it could possibly be completed.
But he felt that his successor, whoever
he might be, deserved something
better than the present one
and that State pride ought to furnish
it. One appropriation would be j
sufficient, and that, spread over the |
many years that such a mansion,
would last, would make the cost in- |

no authority whatever; he

quested to do so; it is simply a mat- <

am prompted to say a word in its
