The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1894. G. M. HARMA*N, Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WEDKESDAY. MAY 13 1896. IEYPOCEACY, THY NAME IS REPUBLICANISM. Elsewhere in this issue will be found the labored apology of Col. D. J. Knotts for affiliating with the ' Black Republican" party, in which he attempts to justify his desertion from the party of his fathers and the only party representing AngloSaxon civilization, progress and supremacy. In his defence he advances reasons which are "as baseless as the fabrication of a dream," and as erroneous as they are baseless. T? - *1"* UIotAm? r\t m oT> I-1I1 IU1 Bjjes 1U IliC uioiiuxj vi uuuu) from the time when Father Adam ' sought to excuse his act of wrong doing in the Garden of Eden by tell ing Jehovah, that "the woman thou * gavest me to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat," down to the time when Col. Knottsgaveas his reason through the Lexington Dispatch, in justification of his political course, that the Democratic partyis one of incapacity and is non progressive, men have made excuses in justification of doing that wbich reason and their intelligence tells them is wrong. Whenever the conscience of man begins to prick him for doing a wrong act that moment he seeks to ease his mind by making excuses, and when he begins to do so it is a safe rule to conclude that he is not altogether satisfied with his act. To illus trate. Judas Iscariot,'sought to justify the betrayal of his Master by making excuses. Scarcely had the dagger of Brutus entered the body of his friend Ceasar than words of excuses for his cowardly deed began falling from his lips, but he was not justified in staining his hands with the life blood of his acknowledged friend. Benedict Arnold made excuses for his treachery to the American cause, but they availed him nothing. Not all the ex cases of Aaron Burr to j ustify himself fin his attempt to disrupt the government and set up another, did him no good, for that act made him an outcast and his reproach name a among men. So Col. Kaotts will find that no amount of excuses will justify his present political course in leaving th9 Democratic party. It would take more time and space than we have at our command to notice all of the excuses, or "reasons" as he styles them, to justify himself, therefore, we shall only briefly notice a few of them. As long as the white men are a unit in politics there is no danger of - negro domination, but the moment there is a division and one faction goes coqueting with the brother in black and makes of him their bed fellow in return for his vote to elevate that faction into power you place the balance of power in his hand and he would be a big fool inif ,,ap jfc Jjjg UCOU XX XXV v?*v% MV? ? vantage. But even in this emergency, Anglo-Saxon intelligence will exert itself as it did in the enactment of the registration and the eight ballot box law, but the remedy is worse than the disease. Then, how much more danger there is to white supremacy when white men teaches the negro his strength and joins him in his fight for supremacy. The Kepublic&n party stands for centralization, and in this respect it is opposed to a popular form of government. Under its doctrine of centralization the encroachment of the Federal judiciary upon the constitutional rights of the States is alarming in the extreme and if allowed to go unchecked will eventually overthrow American institutions and % lead to the establishment some other form of government repugnant to freedom loving Americans. The Republican, as now organized, is known as the "Black" party. It was form ally organized at Philadelphia, June 18, 1856, by the nomination of John ?. C. Fremont for the Presidency, and was composed largely of disgruntled politicians, Whigs, abolitionists and a very few patriotic men. It was conceived in dishonor and born in ha. tred toward the South and Southerns. Its whole career has been parked by the deepest enmity toward the South and Southern interests. It has upheld the North and has trodden down the South, leaving behind as whitened sepulchers to mark its progress stagnation and death. Its policy is to humiliate and degrade the South in every conceivable manner. For this mission it was conceived and for this mission it lives today. Col. Knotts told the truth when he said it was a party of progress, but he failed to state that in the South that progress consisted in placing black heels upon white necks; in subjugating free born I American citizens with Federal bayonets instigated by a devilish purpose to insult the South. It is progressive in '"force laws," fraud and hypoeracy. This is not sentiment, neither is it prejudice not yet theory, but it is dhe record of the foot prints of the "Republican party as they arc indelibly stamped upon the pages of - ja&aaaiu * im ? mamsmammsmHUBanmsm^-jg Southern history. God save South Carolina from such progression! His arraignment of the Democratic party cn the financial question j is amusing, and his charge that it is responsible for the financial depres- j sion through which this country has j passed, is simply preposterous. Thrt j depression was limited only by the \ bounds of civilization. Tho people | of every civilized government felt | the effects to a greater or less de- j gree. The history of panics in this j country is evidence that it is swept I , by one every few years and are gen- I j erally brought on by wild specula- I tions by the gamblers of Wall Street | aided by the Republican party. Tiie Democracy stands for honest money, consisting of gold, silver, and paper, ? A rt /I convei liUie lULU cum uu utruiauu, auu the country has prospered under the operations of these doctrines and it is only by a return to these time honored principles will peace and prosperity smile upon our "suffering country." Then, and not till then, will the "sunlight of prosperity again illumine our skies, and joy and gladness will drive sorrow and disappointment in exile from our homes." There is one remarkable incident which illuminates the darkness and gloom of the financial depression which has hung like a bird of evil omen over our "suffering country." It is a fact that in those States in TT.ki/,1. fVio Tiarrxioroti/* nnrfv is in ?b W UiVfU VJLAW X^VUi VV?MV*V wj *? ? ? solute control of the government that the effects of the panic were felt less than in those States which are under Republican administration. Under Democratic government the Southern States have made such rapid strides in every department of her industries as to excite the applause as well as the jealousies of other more unfortunate sections and at which the world has looked on with wonder and amazement. These are some of the blessings which Democracy has showered upon the Southern States, and if this i3 "non progression,'' then we want more of it. "We are inclined tpward the doctrine of protection. We are of the opinion that American industry and American labor should be fostered and protected by the Government. A protective tariff should be enacted that will prevent the degredation of labor, lowering the standard by bringing it in competition with the cheap pauper labor of Europe and Asia. But the Republican party, with its doctrine of hypocracv, deception and fraud, has given us a tariff which protects the rich manufacturer and miner and at the sametime under the workings of which it made it possible for these same men to throttle with a mailed hand the interest cf labor; it has kept up the price of manufactured goods in the interest of the manufacturer, while the wages of labor have steadily declined; it has increased the cost of living by permitting the formation of trusts, monopolies and combines under the so call tariff laws, to the injury of labor; under the plea of protecting American labor, it has enriched the capitalist, and opened our ports for the free, uninterrupted and unchecked tide of foreign pauper imigrats to supplant American labor at wages which the latter cannot live. This is the hollow mockery, the hideous phantom and the delusive snare that Col. Knotts has put up as his god and has fallen down and worshipped. The friendly relations between the government of the United States and that of Spain are becoming more and more strained and the probability of a war between this country and Spain is great. The crisis is grave and arises from the arrest of American citizens on the high seas and the summary manner in which their tnai was conducted ana me sentence of death passed upon them. Later.?This morning's statement is that Spain and the United States have arrived at an amicable understanding regarding the men captured on the Competitor. The prisoners will be tried again, this time by a civil court under the provisions of the existing treaties between the countries. As the opening of the present political campaign is now at hand it is timely for us to state that the Dispatch will under no circumstance advocate the claims of one candidate before the people in the county primary election oyer another. Communications of a personal nature in the interest of a candidate, or against the candidacy of another, if published at all, will b? charged for at double our regular advertising rates, strictly cash in advance and no deviation from this rule for anybody or linger any circumstance. As far as we are concerned, every candidate must stand or fall as he impresses the people. Candidates' cards are iim- j : ited to the simple announcement. Indications sLgv that Illinois Democrats favor the restoration of silver to its rightful and.constitutional place in the money of this country. We cannot see any logical reason why this should not be the case as it \ has had a place iu fhp ojoaej of this I country, and under it the country j has flourished and it may do so again. ) SEaa^-aBaaKmKsmmBmmwmasmmtmmmamKum A EIFT IN THE CLOUDS. Tko most hopeful sign that we have jet sec-u of the two wings of the i Democratic party coming together, | was the presence of quite a number I of auiis in attendance upon the late ! county convention. It shows, if it : shows anything, that many of them ! attended their club meeting and parf ticipated in the work of re organizaj lion, and we take this as an unmisj takabie harbinger of reconciliation, j At no time since 1890 up to our I last convention has the Conservative element shown any disposition to affiliate with the Reformers in poli[ tical measures and for them to assist I in the re-organization of tlie county f Democracy is a rift in the dark poli tical skies which have hang over our county and State so long and the approach of the time when we will be a re-united and happy family. It was wrong to divide in the first place *md it is greater wrong to remain estranged longer. Nothing can be accomplished by staying out of the party but some good will result to [ themselves, their party and their State by coming together and working in unison and harmony for their common good and their common interest. We were indeed glad to see them in the house of their fathers. They had a right to be there and in exercise of that right they broke away those barriers which divided them from their brother Democrats. Our only regret is that more of them did not turn out and participate in the club meetings. We believe that before the coming campaign is ended all factional lines will be obliterated and there will not longer be Antis or Reformers but all be found fighting under the banners of Democracy and be known simply as Democrats. Whv should they not do so? They / ' " _ " r have to live under the same government as the Reformers. It is as much to their interest to have good men in office who will economically administer the affairs cfgovernment as it i3 to the interest of any one. Then - let us come together. For this result we have been laboring for years, and we confidently believe that our labors will be crowned with success. It seems that the policy of the goldbugs, in order to control the national convention, is to have as many contested delegations from silver States as possible, and note from those in which the advocates of the single standard are in the majority. By this means, it is hoped to have a majority of uncontested delegates favorable to gold and with this majority unseat as many of the silver delegates as will give gold control of the convention. If this scheme is successfully worked to defeat the free coinage of silver, it may as well be known in advance of the meeting of the convention as after, that the action of the convention will have no binding force upon the friends of silver and that they will be releived of all moral obligations to support the nominess and would be justified in repudiating its action.

Please say to the readers of the Dispatch that the undersigned are in no way responsible, for the proceedings of the County Democratic Convention of May the 4th, 1896, as they appeared in your columns, other Viun fhA oAhifll work of the conven tion. D. F. Efird, Secretary. Saml. B. George, Asst. Lexington, S. C., May 9, 1896. [In compliance with request of Messrs. Efird and George, we take pleasure in stating that they are not either as individuals or in their official capacity responsible for any thing that appears in these columns, unless under or over their own signature, or nom-de-plume. There was one sentence at least, in the report, namelj: "having no ax to grind, no friend to reward nor enemy to punish, etc.," which was conclusive evidence to an intelligent public that they had nothing to do with writing the report. We will state further that they are not responsible for the report of even the actual work of that convention as the report as published was taken from notes made by a reporter bf this paper, and all that was gotten from them were the names of the committee on resolutions, the resolutions and the list of delegates. Editor Dispatch.] News irom Along tne wongaree. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Summer has set in in earnest. Rain is very much needed. The farmers arc busy planting and plowing corn. Cotton is being put in largely. The health of the neighborhood is very good at present except a few: Mrs. A. W. Geiger, Sr., has been quite sick but is improving: Mr. Webster Taylor and family have been sick but are better, their baby was very low but am glad to say, under the skillfull treatment of Dr. Kendal of Brookland, it is again convalesant. The people of this community are very much pleased with their pastor, the Rev. Mr. DuBose. I think him an excellent divine and will accomplish a great deal of good on this circuit. The girls are busy preparing their summer costumes, and I rather think they contemplate paying some leap year calls, so look out young men or you will have to say yes or give a horse and buggy. I have seen two riding out by themselves. One said she did not intend to be left by no means. Ask Miss Carrie Leaphart of Rocky Well, how she enjoyed her supper the night she stopped eating to listen at a joke that was being told at the table and when she looked down, her supper was gone. There is a young bachelor in the Rocky Well section raising a supply of cats. He expects to make a large crop of corn and he wants to get rid of the rats to save his corn. I would like to know if he has ever sung any sweet lulabys for li s kittens. I have been informed that two young gents of this section will visit the upper portion of Lexington this summer and a married lady advises the younger ones to sot their hooks and have them well baited to be sure to catch them. Ask Mr. J. B. Nunamalrer who was the beet looking Santa Claus seen last Christmas. Best wishes for the Dispatch and its readers. Axpha. ? > 9 - > Letter from Festus. To the Editor of the Dispatch: This correspondent, now convalescent, has lately had a very close call to pass over the mystic river and owes a drbt of gratitude to many kind, generous citizens of Swansea for ministering to his wants. To m?ntion names would be invidious. God's mercy is wonderful and in that unseen land of glorious rewards there is in store for them heaven's richest bless ngs. Our excellent friend, Dr. James L. Johnson has just returned from the Land of Flowers whither he went on a short brid >1 tour, having united in a life partnership of matrimor y with the charming Miss Pink Hoff! man, daughter of our worthy friend, Mr. Fred. Hoffman. That sturdy p ince of good man and good physicians, Dr. W. T. Brooker, is kept quite busy with dysentery patieuts. Our worthy Dr. Langford is busy too. The modest but consecrated pastor of the Methodist church, Rev. R. A. Few, is gaining golden opinions a: long all classes. Our solid merchant, Hon. W. H. F. Rast, the sprightly "W. L. K. Johnson, and several others were today chosen dulegates to the county convention to meet on Monday. Let us trust that a spirit of harmony may pervade the every actions of Democracy. Within the lines of that party, nourished in its infancy at the pur? ? fountains opened by the bands cf JeffersoD, is to be found the only hope of our country. Bolting means a short route to the enemy's camp, where the only success to be hoped for is in affiliation with negroes and all in all a menanco to white supremacy. Col. D. J. Knotts don't seem greatly changed since his political departure. The "Tali Pine' may find comfort and choice plums in the Republican ranks. "NYe venture to question no good man's honesty but cu iuuii tJ-io vuiuuwj AX his Southern taste are not sadly changed, may yet have to swallow some bitter pills on Jordan's political road, always so hard to travel.
