Col. Robert Aldrich, of Barnwell, S.
0-, has replied to the Hon Patrick
Walsh's letter in relation to the civil
service rofonc policy of President Ole ve- '
land- Pe thinks that the policy of the
President is in accordance with his
pledges made during the canvass, and
without which he would not have secur?
ed the support of the conservative ele?
ments which came to bim especially in
New York, where without them he
would have lost that State, and conse?
quently the election.
Col. Aldrich does not believe that
the election of President Cleveland was
a rebuke to the administration of the
Government by Republican methods
and officeholders, and says: "I think
the two parties about evenly divided,
with an independent vote sufficiently 1
strong to hold the balance, of .power,
this was cast for Cleveland (not
Democratic party,) because he was
sonally a more acceptable man
Blaine."
He does not think that the eta
means that the Republican officehol
were to be turned out and comp(
Democrats entrusted with the offic<
every department of the Govern rn
but, on the contrary, considers
Pendleton law as the first step that
dered Democratic suocess possible.
He believes that President Cl
land's Administration has met thc
expectations of Democrats in Si
Carolina, and thinks that his polit
calculated to strengthen the party
insure success in the coming eiectio
In concluding hts letter Col. Aid
says : "Lasry, I have always thot
that a party whose chief aim and oh
in acquiring power is to gain offices
its members deserve to be beaten,
in the long run, in this world, both i
and parties get about what they dose
If the Democratic party desires sue
in the next election, it should first
serve it by chowing to the people I
and not the personal welfare of its ii

Lee, in the latter part of the eighteeni
century, might be descried *the go(
stature and comely visage', which trad
tion gsves him wine .ascribing to hi
au 'enterprising genius, sonad bea<
and generous nature.' His son, Rici
ard Lee, was also a member of tl
King's Council ; and Thomas, a sen ?
the second Richard, was for a long tim*
President "of tbe Council. Virginia
history is, indeed, enriched with th
names of this family who have bee
distinguished in civil or military lift
Thomas Lee, in his capacity of presi
dent of the council, was governor of tb
colony in 1749, and at his princely sej
of 'Stratford/' called after the Englis
home in Essex, dispensed the liben
hospitality of the typical Virginia plac
ter. Marvelous accounts are given c
.StratfordY original splendor, its bun
dred rooms, a marj building and foo
offices, eaefa of the latter con tain io,
fifteen rooms, and its stables for a hun
dred horses. It was burned during th
life time of President: Lee, and th
Government rebuilt it, while Queel
Caroline contributed something fron
her own privy purse, sending also
complimentary letter io ta? esteeme<
colonial, magoate.
Four sons of Thomas Lee made thei
impress on the history of their couutr
during the Revolutionary era. Of rhos
the most distinguished uudoubtcdlj
iras Richard Henry Lee, the eminen
statesman. There was not wanting
however, at this momentous period, ;
soldier hero to mingle-military laurel
with 'the family's civic honors; anc
*Light:Horse Harry/ the yoa?g caval?
ry leader of the Revolution, was no
unworthy of his knightly race. H<
was also, later in his career, to b(
known in political life, being a meuibei
of the convention that ratified the Con?
stitution, and he was three times electee
Governor of Virgiuia.
General Henry Lee's graodfathei
was one of the several brothers of Presi?
dent Lee, and by the marriage of'Light
Horse Harry' with Matiida Lee, a
daughter of Presideot Lee's eldest son,
he came iuto possession of 'Stratford.5
When the young soldier courted his
beautiful cousin there tras still much

house, on a commanding situation, sur?
rounded by a grove of sugar waples,
presented the term of the letter li, a
spacious saloon connecting the two
wings where the gay company danced :
the owner of 'Stratford,' Philip Ludwcll
Lee, who was also of the King's Coun?
cil, keeping a band of musicians for
the delectation of his two fair daugb
ters and their guests. There was also
moonlight promonades on the flat roof
of the great house with its pavilions
and balustrade, and ruGre than one
romance doubtless sprang to life or
languished to soft death in the ^ay
halls of historic 'Stratford.' The heiress
passed away in her young matronhooJ,
and General Lee brought s. new bride
to thc old homestead. This was Annie
Carter, the mother of Robert Edward
Lee, the great soldier of the Southcru
Confederacy, whose fame was to over?
shadow his father's, his name bein? the
one next to Washington's, which Vir?
ginia bolds iu honor as that of her
