Facefield Advertiser J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, APR. 1, 1896. Let Us Flop Together. We sincerely hope that parly lines will not he rigidly drawn in the Ec'ige?eld co:nly elections this j year, and in this we believe wo j voico the wishes of the best among the conservatives as we know we do ^tLe sentiment of the most infuen_ ti al reformers of the county. Let the two wings flop together in thP interest of all the people and to the confusion of demagogues and pesti ferous partisans. Our Next-President. It is getting to be the impression generally that our next president will be elected by the federal House of Represen at i ve?. This means, in all probaLilit}', a republican chie executive of. the nation for the next four years. What else it means we not know nor can we imagine, ours are troublous times, men have los their reason, our people* especially in the south, arc getting more and more Ishmaeliti^h as the days go by, m ni?cience alone can see the end of these tendencies and to human ken Omnipotence only can save the people, the natiou,-from tho machinations of ruthless and reckless politicians. This is the day of straddles. If you will show usa candidate for jRitborcatonal honors in South Carolina, who is'nt a straddler in tho "Ben Bolt" business, we wilj show you a roan who can make it . in two-forty. How docs Bob Wat 8 on ride ? The National Democratic con. vention will have 930 delegates. Of these 549 certain and possibly 5S0 will stand for the free and un limited coinage of silver 16 to 1. . A Good Thing-. VETER: NARY. DEPARTMENT OF CLEM SON WILL INVESTIGATE CONTA GIOUS DISEASES. Editor Register: Kindly- give publicity to the following: The Veterinary Department of the South Carolina Experiment Station at Clemson oilers its aid to the peo ple QT South Carolina, in the inves tigation aud%extirpation of conta I gious and infectious diseases among the domesticated animals; h~se, cow, swine, dog, fowls, etc. The College Veterinarian will take pleasure in corresponding'with the owners of diseased animals and will wherever possible give diag noses and advice free. In all cases of a contagious nature requiring personal inspection, ti e traveling expenses of the Veterinarian must be met by the owners of the dis eased animals. It is tho intention ofjho Veteri nary Department of Clemson Col lege to give to tho stock owners and others t. c this State who ma? wish it, a special course in Veteri nary Science. Any one of good moral character may avail himself of this course under tho head of the Veterinary Department, vor further information address Dr. W. E. A. Wyman, Veterinan to South Carolina Experiment Station and Clemson College. . Stand by the Democracy. There is general approval of the position taken by Senator Irby in favor of sticking to the Democrat ic party. The idea, in fact, is not Senator Irby's. It is the sentiment of the great body of Demcratic vo ters in South Carolina. We can not alford to experiment with a new organization. Sucha course would lead to demoralization, con fusion, disruption-all tending to the advantage of tho common ene my. Stand by the party that has al ways stood by the South. Senator Irby is only one among many thousands of Reformers who aro determined to stand by the Democratic party.-II a m p ton Guardian. Another most lovely scheme and which pr-.n ed a howling suc: ces3 in 1892-is that of Senator Tillman's to send delegates to the National Democratic Convention, which convention it is admitted by all represents no democratic prin ciple, and if they fail to declare for the money of the constitution, and should fail further to nominate a f: 'a silver man, then bolt and join the free silver party that is organ ized by Lombard ?nd Wall Stiee'.. A plan of that kjmd would end in the everlasting defeat of all le form movements ol any kind and character. Is Senator Tillman igno rant of the fact that the gold stand ard leaders in both th? Democratic and Republican parties are now prepared io adopt an unlimited, lS-to-1, free coin*:, i lal form, and that they will place a free silver candidato on it, for the express sind only purpose of ker ping the .discontented people out of the People's party? And by so doing make the succe.-.-.of the gold stan dard Republican,BUre? That will le the outcome cf .Mr. 't illman's } rilliant sch'.mej whether ho in tends it or not.-Cotton Plant. The News a KI Courier's caption writer, who by L.he way, has a good bead, calls Senator lin Tillman "3en Bolt." /.tis to be hoped, however, that 3ec will wisely conclude not tc 'bolt" for some yet to come. We 2an't afford to Jcs*- him from the democratic ranks ncr can we se e clear to bolt with "Ben Bolt" jus yet awhile.-Clinton Gazette. The hard horse sense and inlelli genoe of South Carolina can no follow Senator Tillman in his wil goose chase af ter the free coinag of silver at the 16 to 1 ratio. Tha there are grave abuses in our linar cial system is only too apparent t every one, but to follow Docto Tillman absolutely would be sim ply flopping from the frying pa: into the fire. But the Senator has cast the di and declares himself iinally pre pared to cross the Rubicon.-Chai leston Sun. I Hon. W. D. Mayfield, membe for South Caroliua of the Bimetal ic National Committee, issue through Tuesday's daily papers two column address urging strone ly that the fight for free silver mus be mado within the Democrati party if success is hoped for. GOA Evans said of the address that i was "all r'ght."-Barnwell Peoph Mr. W. D. Hayfield's address't the "bimetallic Democrats" c South Caroliua which appeared i Tuesday's papers, barring a fei unnecessary diversions, is alon the right lino and we agree wit him in toto that the fight shoul be made within the Democrati party, for therein lies silver's onl hope of success. An independen movement in this state would b suicidal aud would drive awa most of the white metal's most er thusiastio supporters.-Spartan burg Herald. This paper yields to none in it devotion to silver and has and wil exert all its power and ability t accomplish the financial reform i believes to be conducive to th best interests of this count rv Hov*ever, we firmly believe tha fhe relief we desire CEII be had on! through the democratic party am we propose to adhere to tha' part; and its principies so long as the; represent what, we consider th wisest and best course in nat iona politics. We believe that free sil ver will come in time and that i will be through the medium of th democratic pariy. It may not bi this year, but silver will in time b< accorded justice and at the bandi of the democratic party. Tho orin c?plee of the democratic party an too firmly imbedded in our natur1* its hiatory and traditions are toe dear to us for us aver to desert it? standard unlec all that endears i tous is prostrated and destroyed Whetaor it accepts or rejects sil ver, we shall remain in its rauki with unabiding hope that it wi) return to the faith of its fouuden which it seems to have forsaken foi thc time. Mr. Tillman in his letter to thc Register takes a position thorough ly inconsistent and untenable. He wishes; to be sent as a democrat tc a democratic convention with the avowed purpose of bolting that con vention if its action does not please hint. Ile arrogates to himself the light to define what national de mocracy means and whut consti tutes a democrat. He proposes to do exactly what the Haskel lites did when 'hey bolted the State conven tion in 1890, and after denouncing that faotion as bitterly aud ns per sistently as he did, it comes with poor grace for him to advocate bolting the national convention, and it will be hard to convince the people of South Carolina that his action is honest and that ambition to receive tho nomination for the presidency on the Silver ticket is not the ruling motive.-Sparian burg Herald. To show our intalligeut people that they can hope for nothing from I li 3 silveriies or populists, we have only to refer to the wrangling and strife now going on among those would-be bolters m our own State. Ser-ator Tillman advises remaining in Lhe democratic party, but bolting unless a free silver platform is adopted. Let South Cai olin f.. send a delegation to Chi cago under any such instructions, and the only way they will ever en ter tho convention hall would be to mob the sergeant-at-arms or climb down the chimney. * * * * We must go into the next democratic convention as dsmo crats, and send free and uninstruct ed delegates. Our people are for free silver, and we believe that a majority of country is with us. But if those in favor of bi-metalism divide and split up into warring factions, of course the gold bugs will take advantage of the situation to control matters ic their own in terest. But of one thing we do feel assured: If the county cannot se cure relief through the democratic party, then we had as well hang our harpon a willow troe, sing the Long Mecer Doxology, and dismiss the congregation. * " -J* . ? * Tho word "Democrat" in the South means more than any polit ical movement. It means the ruie ol'thc white majority-the politi cal supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon over the African. When tho whites divide, it simply gives into the hands of the colored voter the bal ance of power. It disturbs cmr la bor system, and degrades the poor white man to the political level of the black man. If any class of people in our State are \ tally in terested in upholding th?- demo cratic party, it is the poor and un educated rvhite voter. Financially, he is no batter off than the negro, but the power of his ballot, guar an Leed b}' our democratic party, places the while mau far above the African. But disband the demo cratic party and let there be a free tor-all raes, and you will see the negro com3 to the surface agai:i, ?'ind his vo e will be as much sought after as tho poor white man's vote. -Piedmont Headlight. "If we fail to get thc- National Con ventionto give us a platform ol' the character outlined and a loyal candi date on it we should withdraw."-Till man in Register. This is very strange, inconsistent counsel for a man calling himself a Democrat. After calling a Stale Convention, electing a delegation and going into the National Demo cratic convention, he would bolt that body, uu!f ss he, the sole judgM, should be pleased with its actiori ; and, as he says further on, unless so and so can be dono, "then we take the urinciples and seok new allies and a new uame." Is thisMr. Tillmau's present idea of "majori'y rule/' about which be used to talk so fluent ly, intermixed with more or less gall, whfn t>peak ing of the action of the IL skollites in 1S90? The Laurensville Horrid, nuder the editorship of this writer, was among the foremost, if not the first newspaper in the State to embrace Mr. Tillman's Reform measure'. How long and how faithfully it maintained that advocacy, the readers of this journal well know. But unies3 he recedes from the po sition he now holds, regarding his threatened bolt, we shall be reluc tantly conpelled lo part company with him. We will not follow Mr. Tillman, or any other man, out of the Democratic party.-Laurens ville Herald.. Stick to the Parry. Editor Register: Mr G. W. E. Thorpe, County chairman of Aiken County, is right. We need to coun sel together. All sorts of opinions are prevailing, and there is a se rious lack of unity among the Re formers. A large informal confer ence of the Reform party should be held before the May conven tion. I am a Democrat and have al ways been a Democrat, and I ex pect to die a Democrat. No new party in nine, if you please. Tho president of the Farmers Alliance end Industrial Union of South Carolina, Mr. Jcsej h L. Keilt, seems lo think we may play double. Wo must not take any such advice. Democracy may not bring relief but it is the only hope. W. N. MARCHANT. Minetta. S. C. Thc Indiana Task Performed.
