You shall not crucify mankind upon across of gold." DEMOCRTIC TICKET, FOR PRESIDENT. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, OF NEBRASKA. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, ARTHUR SEWALL, OF MAINE. Bryan's course through the "West was one grand triumph. A Free-silver daily newspaper will shortly be started in Chicago. Bryan and McKinh y aro both remarkable fine looking mon so that whether Democracy or Re publicanism triumph we shall have a handsome president in the White Houso. According to the New York Times Bryan made as big a "bust" in New York as Tillman did in Chi cago, and Tillman was there to en joy if, too. But you can't put any dependence in the statements of an!i papor3. If you want the troth you must 30 to a reform paper like the ADVERTISER. Tho Spartauburg Herald edito rially says: "A citizen of this Slate in New York recently Coat ing some bonds. There in a broker's office he chanced to meet Mr. Colin Rhind, of Augusta, Ga. At the ri?k of seeming impertinent the Sou til Carolinian asked Mr. Rhind how much Tillman and Evans did get. Rhind replied promptly that "Tillman didn't get a cent. John Gary Ev.aus'has already gotten TWELVE THOUSAND DOL LARS. He has not gotten all that he expects, but the exact amount yet to como has not been deter mined." ? The meeting of- tho State candi dates at Union Monday was a tame affair with one exception. Duncan was more severe and aggressive in his attracks on the pure and im maculate Evans, the man without any Bense of shame and without indignation when reproached. Dun can wrote ou a slip of paper words to thiB affect : uIf Mixon says that I told him that Tillman lined his pockett with rebate money, he is a liar." This paper he read to Ev ans and flaunted in his face and dared him to sign his name to it. Evans bad been denying it and saying he was a lie, but he was afraid to sign his name to the statement.-Ex. Mr. Mixson Should Explain. Editor Register : I have always .been a Reformer and I am ready to d") my dut/ in this line now. I am ready to vote for the man I think would represent my party best, but I am not willing to vote for any mari who has the least stain upon him, or the appearauce of it. I owe to my family and my country first duty, and a duty that calls forth my best manhood. We have plfnty of men in the Reform party who are the best men in the State, and who would lose their right arm before they would vote for a man who has a hurtful charge against him, and will not press parties who ara in possession of facts to come out with them. I am read}' to vote to-day for Gover nor Evans if he would force Mr. Mixson to say if all of the charges made by Mr. Duman are false ho owes this to himself, and he owes it to us. Mr. M?son, who is irom our country, owes us more. Ho is from among us; hellas no more right to hold evidence that belongs to the people than he has to hold money in public trust ; nei th?r has he any right to hold to his office and hide crime if there is any crime. He should either turn over to the peoplo the office that belongs to them or the evidence. I call upon him to set us right, and say if any of the charges made hy Mr. Duncan in reference to re bates are true. Mr. Mixson must come down with the facts. O. S. DUPOIS. Allendale, S.

A CHARGE MADE AGAINST GOV. EVANS WHICH HE DENIES, BUT INCIDENTALLY FURNISHES OTHER GROUND FOR BELIEVING THAT CHARLESTON'S VOTE IS FOR SALE TO A RESPONSIBLE BIDDER FILTHY POLITICS. Since the campaign began, news paper correspondents who have been going around with the aggre gation have heard a variety of more or less startling reports. In many instances they have been assured that some competent witness would present himself at an opportune moment to present facts in such shape as to exclude the possibility of successful denial or evasion. But this evidence, whether it did not exist, or because a dishrag was doing the part of a backbone for the witnesses, or that the disease known as moral cowardice has? be come alarmingly epidemic in Sou' h Carolina, these confiimatious have failed to materialize. The newspaper correspondents have bet-u furnished with the fol lowing statement of alleged facts. For one of the three causes given above I do not expect a confirma tion from the witnesses named it would be against precedent. Here is the statement : A DEAL ALLEGED. "On Saturday night of the Ma rion meeting, Governor Evans re turned home, arriving in Colum bia about 10, and wont directly to the mansion, where, at ll o'clock, he was joined by a delegation of five German citizens of Charleston , viz : vVehman, Kroeg, Roesler, sud Stelling-the fifth, don't know. This committee remained with him till 2 o'clock and took the early morning train back to Charleston. They went to Columbia on a writ ten invitation from the governor, who made this proposition : 'You organizo a German club in the city of Charleston of 500 mem bers who will vote for me for the United States Seuate. I will guar antee the Germans of Charleston private dispensaries. In evidence of this Stelling has been canvass ing the city in that interest, and none of these gentlemen will deny these facti?, as it is too well known in the city to admit of deu:al. Wehman, particularly, will admit itali." Gov. EVANS' DENIAL. Gov. Evans was given an op portunity to affirm or deny this report simultaneously with -its publication. He said: "That ie a lie: I have not seen those men since the opening of the campaign. They did come to see me some days before the campaign opened and met me at my office they never were at my house. They asked me what I was going to- do about Charleston.^ I told them as I said the time of put{iug orf the metropolitan police-that if by that method I was unable to en force the law, I would take it off and recommend to the legislature some special law for Charleston. It would be foolish to continue at tempting to enforce the law with present machinery if it is impossi ble to do so." If.he had desired to trade fer Charleston',* votes, said the gover nor, he would have done so long ago, with men who offered to de liver the goods and were able lo do so-and the governor named two old line Charleston ringsters who had made him a proposition to deal. NEEDS OVERHAULING. So it seems that wi her or not Charleston has been recently bought or sold, her votes have been on the market -offered by her bosses for a stated consideration, just as the suffrage of ignorant la borers, who can hardly make their wishes intelligible in English, are disposed of ty their foremen in the north, or as the votes of communi ties of negroes used to be soM by their loaders to the highest bidders in Radical days. Ic is certainly time for a new deal in, Charleston. W. E. GONZALES. Hansen's Farthest North. A MOST DARING OF EXPLOITS P^NDS IN SAFETY, I Vardo, Norway, Aug. 13-Dr. Nansen, the Artic explorer, arriv ed here to-day. He says that his expedition attained one of objects in traversing the polar sea to a point northward of the New Sibe rian Islands, named to latitude 86 degrees 14 minutes north. No land was sighted north of latitude 82 degrees. After reaching the par allel of SG.14 the expedition went south to Franz Joseph land, where it spent the winter, the members subsisting on bears' flesh and blubbers. Dr. Nansen arrived here on the steamer Windward, which is conveying provisions to the Jackson-Harmworth expedi tion. The explorer is'perfectly well. The Farm is expected to arrive at Vardo or Bergen in a short lime. A I was well aboard of her when Dr. Nansen left her. Cures Nervous Troubles and In digestion. Mr. Vv. T. Nelson, president of the Second National Bank, of Jackson, Tenn, says: "For indi gestion and nervous trouble, I would rather give up any remedy than King's Royal Germetucr. As a nerve tranquilizer and restora tive, it isall that can be desired. It is not a narcotic in any sense, but produce? the happiest effectR upon the disordered nervous S3Ts tem. I consider it an invaluable remedy, and have for several years recommended it to mv friends." CORRESPONDENCE Saluda County. i Rich Rare and Racy Sketch of Sal ud a County Candidates, 1>3' one Whom [Everybody Likes to Read After. While we see iii the prints/ ac ounts of gyrations of our State ampaigners from ex-school teach r, ex-farmer, ex-pelled representa nte Duncan to Walton Whitman, he kicked out divine, I will at empt to divert your readers minds >y telling the story of Saluda's ampaigu. The Senatorial aspiranls-Sud lath. Edwards, and Alleni-are laving so far a love feast. They ,re all fine, capable men-men of irinciple-men whose reputations dre already fixed and who can't ,fford to belittle and backbite. For the House, there ?3 not such , community of feeling. We see everal whose platforms are at wide ariance. Joe Caughman talks of otten dispensary liquor (wirb [ualifications of course), of Con ederate homes, of plenty gladden ng the land like the "voices of lirds in spring." Jack Edwards, he historian of Saluda county, ells of the good old days of yore, if our statesmen of years agone, of mr warriors and heroes who have written Saluda's military history n their blood. He also gives his riews on les3 sentimental ques ions, such as working convicts on oads and affairs of practical state iraft. Mr. Lester simply tells the >eople, he is a plain farmer and viii serve his people with the sam ; idelity that has always character zed his life as a citizen. Mr. Seigler, the finest looking nan in the field, also claims no iratorical honors, but points to a iiibstantial record ns acitizeu and rasiness man. Well of course ?anks Caughman is the same jolly ;ood fellow he hos always been md never fails to en ter tai u his radiance on issues, county, or na ional. As was prophesied in your ?olumns some time ago hy youl nimble servant, Ibo fight for ?Sn jerintendent of Education is tin ight. Instead ot Sh?rod Wight, nan and Sample being at logger, leads, it is bright, witty, entertain ng Olin Sawyerand Sample. Olir s a little hustler-a young mai ;hat always comes to tho point Vir. Sample likes to tea-e ambi ;ious young fellows, but the teas ing would'nt work on Olin, not ? bib of it. So Mr. Sample got : 3urrycomb and attempled tocurn trat he soon found ho was dealing with a "critter" that kicked lib thuiuleratiou. So they've beei baying it-Sample expatiating 01 the folly of youth and the "wis [loin" of "forty year old men, ' aur Olin has been meeting every thrus' svith a skillfulness of repartee tba would do credit to a trained law per, of course, I don't know wh( 3tartod this horse-pray but I d( know;-the crowd always gather ut. to the stand when they are speak ir?g. But I must'nt leave out Mr Wightman. He has'nt as yet hitch 3d with a man, but his earnest elo [puence is always heard and hil good humored canvass is appr?cia ted by all. Mr. Boozer also ii making speeches of a high orde] and his sound business views or iffairs al way's impress the people Mr. Bledsoe is a very fine youuf man and is making a campaigi that no man can except to. Mr. Henry Hare of suuny Del nar. a young mau of fine businesi japacity is the only one of th< ?audidates for Auditor that I hav< seen on the stump. Messrs. Rush :on,Crouch, Goi?and others are or thc alert foi voters also, and an latching 'era. For clerk, Mr. Henry Unger ii making some fine speeches. H< takes well with everybody. With jut disrespect to any man, I say that Ben Crouch is the best oratoi in Saluda county, all things con" ?idered. Ben is also a stirer whet it comes to getting votes. "Doc' [Iuiet is also pultiug in some sol id work. Mr. Josh Edwards, Mr Villard, and Judge Rfobley an men hard to pass by. This is a kind of rough and tum. nie sketch of the men who want jfiice, as they have appeared before :he people. Of course the mer rnnniug for sheriff and coronei :lo not speak, although Scratct Whittle did make an hour's speed it Watson's stori3. May Minerva >ive us the wisdom to select wisely md well from our forty-five. N. B.-I forgot to mention Hon D. B.

JOHN TERRY, of the "Pan Handle." OPPOSING GREENWOOD.' The New County Question Discussed in its Various Aspects. MR. EDITOR: However muc"h the candidates may try to down the new county question it is a live is sue to-day with our people. It is all bosh to attempt to stave it off by remarking that the constitu tion leaves the question with the voters of nev/ countie's when this ! very*fact arouses those people who really see and need the con.vini euces of smaller counties to be on guard against every effort that would disregard theircouvehier.ee and a proper geographical divi vision in making new counties in order to favor some city desiring to concentrate more of the wealth of the country sections. It is entirely against the farm communities lo aid in build ing very u-rge cities at. a. dis tance to the neglect or: patronizing and building more :owns in or near their own sections. Patriot ism and common sense demand that, all the peopre of old Edge-' field county -mould aid in deiuaud ' ing that no favoritism bo shown Greenwood or other city, but that [ such division of the old counties be made as will give convenience to the largest number of all their departing brethren ana new coun ty associated. These men no doubt iegret leaving past county associa tion, but liiey recognize the im portance of curtailing all exp?i?'8B8 1 made necessary by large com.ties. 1 they appreciate the many ad vari " tagos of smaller counties as giving greater convenience, greater exer cise of sn/ereigiity bi'the people, cloner connection with llieir offi cials, more charitable administra tion of laws against delinquents, ' an opportunity for better opera tion of public school laws and 1 general scrutiny of the operation 1 of road laws without expense and j other advantages not now necessa , ry,to mention. . Let any one take a good state map having th? townships ore., well defined and it-Will be'seen } that to give Greenwood the comfl^ } seat of a new county would be } nothing but favoritism totally dis regarding the convenience.to the ' people of West side of Edgefield "' and lower portion of Abbeville county. It will be seen that Mc 3 Cormick and Ninety-Six are well " located for county seats? of two 5 new countie?, being thirty miles r apart and each twenty-five miles 1 from Abbeville and thirty from ' Edgefield; while Greenwood ison ? ly thirteen or fourteen miles from 1 Abbeville nearly in a line from Abbeville to Niuety-Six and over " twenty miles from McCormick. 3 Again, Greenwood localed at the 3 crossings of two railroads and fa? 3 vored with many resources for a " fine city does not need the aid of 1 taxpayers establishing a county 3 government i:here. The motto of farmers in establishing new coun." ties should be first the conve nience of all, then the use of their taxes through county government where aid is to be given for aid to those towns nearest their homes, and leaving the old counties iii best possible shape relativo to the lowest taxation Sec. If Greenwood be given part of Edgefield instead of McCoiniick, tho taxes in Edge-* field will increase rather than di-J minish for the latter would divide the heavy bridge expense with Edgefield while Greenwood would take off a valuable section in which there is nat much of such expenses. Let the position on this ques tion of equitable division instead/ of any favoritism towards city in-j fluence and personal des re be con sidered along with other merits1 the candidato may possess. Let no one who proclaims himself an ene my to monopoly presume to mo nopolize legislative homrs, for the people would encourage at all vimes healthy ambitions and aspirations of the largest number of equally deserving men both young and old. If aman does not develop in to some distinguished legislator why should he ask for moro than two terms in tho same house of the State General Assembly, and thus be favored at the expense of other men's aspirations, especially as this preference gives him a greater standing in even business affairs-; Tho argument that, you mus., re elect because he has experience is extremely fallacious in this free country, for thal carried out would mean holding tho same office for life. Those having experience ad mit that not much additional law making is needed, ih m why not let others have an opportunity to fry their metal. Let those raclions destining to become parts ol' new counties have representation on the ticket this time but it is not good policy for Edgefield to permit then, ?end ing more logblator.^ than consis tent with the ambition an mate rial interests of her remaining sons, Again, let candidat?r^^^bovp.. the horizon of selfishness aoTNod the pooplo iii shaping nev? e.mVr liesto the ven best interest of all.'
