He Atteirptis to Explain tihe snali Vote of the Party In Recent Electiot, by the Charge of Unfair Electi one. COLUMBIA, S. C., Oct. 19.--The fol lowing nddrces nominating candidates for PreEiden tial elector a on the People's party ticket was issued from the oflice of Mr. J, W. Bowden yesterday, and will.be printed in circular form for dis . tribution over the State: To the Voters of South Carolina: The closing years of the nineteenth century seem destined to be the most fateful of our country's history, we mightj;ay of the world, for the lowly and oppressed in every land have their eye fixed on America as the battle ground where the last great fight for human liberty is to take place, Fear ful forces of antagonistic elements are being centered here; but a just God has never yet mocked an'individual or a nation by imposing a task that cannot be performed if met in a proper spirit.! The old-time, nicely-balanced rela tions, and well-nigh even strength, that once existed between labor and capital are no more, for while one has shrunk to a pig-ny, the other has grown to a giant. Ahen autocratic kings granted ' monopolies to their favorites it, taxed their despotic authority to the utmost to defend them against the competition of surreptitious traders. While under our new commercial regime inighty monopolies are created that not only f crush ah rivalry 1with ease, but domi nate the government, where their sel ilsh interests are concerned. The curse of our land is partisan pol it Ics. 1. is time for us to vote for our best int rests. The wily politician, by v playing upon sectional and race preju dice, keops the solid North and the d solid South. Every year in Congress e the battles of the war are tought over t and over, while issues of the utmst importance to the welfare of our peo. ple are everlooked or lightly dealt with. e can..)t long remain indifferent to s the cond'tiorns that confront us. Thie volume i money has been contracted n until business is paralyzed and the price of she products of labor has been reduced below the cost of production. The conpiracy of foreign capitalists to * control .%me-ican labor by controlling G the voluane of meney has been success- e ful. Corporations, wielding the power of aggregated capital, control the gov ernment and so direct our flnan(cts that. u all save a bare existence is denied the d producers of all wealth. Both Demo cratic ar-d Republican parties, nution- * ally, are controlled by the sane inliu- P ence. The judiciary has become the u bulwark of this formidable and grow- c ing powir wich, unless checked, will c be the uestraction of the democratic 0 principle in government, a Thom is C-irlyle said many years ago C that we would have our period of trial b "when health is intact, crops abundant le and the magnificent land open. Then I so-called statesmen will cry over pro- l duction; and then the man of the bal- t lot, the Eelf-reliant, the self-pliant, will go to the ballot box, amidst hunger and destituti,)n, (but surrounded by the litter cf self-rule) and ratify by his 4 allot ti.e monstrous falsehood uttered . by mis-statesmen, and vindicate by the i same ballot the infamous lie thrown c upon tlie breezes by a senile editor e through a corrupt press, thus braoging iu ruin upon his country and serfdom 'I upon himself," This period is upon us, Jjeformers of I South Carolina. Will we ratify by our ballots a system that we know to be i wrong and that is bringing ruin upon y our cour>try and s'tridom upon us and our children ? Let us Iie our protest in the sacred form of a freemann's bal- ~ lot. Our demands have bee'n either ig.. r nored or shameh ssly trifled w it h by a both parties. Then fate of the silver c bill in a Democratic IIouse is the lastt act of treachery.a The day for sentimental politics is a past. Sentimental polit ics has cost this t country rivers of blood andl billions of treasure. The sentimental politician is a fraud, a snare and a delusion.g 1Practical politics and common sense is ~ the need of the hour. ' Why should we vote for Grover v Cleveland for a mere sentiment? Our r State convention in May declared that C the nmination of Grover Cleveland 'would be "a prostitution of t.he prm'in:i- c ples of Democracy, a repudiation of a the demands of the Alliance andl a sur- t, render of the rights of the people to t the financial kings of t he country." lIe t A ~ is not the choice of our people. Is the party lash to be again craoked to force us Into line ? Is seintimental or pract i cal polit.ics to govern ? Will we vote for a man whose policy is totally op. posed to our best interests ? Girovi r Clevelan, represenits W ail street a.id m1onopolis.ic power. Weaver aind Fields represent the farmer pnd laborer. The principles In Volved die the sam~e that our p)eople~ have cadorsed In State politick', andI their ar oport is the logical result of the deci.iion of the people as expressed in the 1m% ay conivention. WVe shall al)lde the veroict of the people as expre. sed In the mecent primary upon St:ate Is-I sues and Congressional candidates andI will give~ the nominees our cordial sup port, bi' we are in no manner bound ythat action to violate our obligation to only oupport men who are ini favor of our demnands. t,~ ie farmes,laborers, brethnren; Ve whr liebythswaofonsto; thpcv.ell, cast your ballotsa, freighted' with the destinies of generatlins yet unborn, for the man oi your choice. Let ti politician~s andl a pit.cratic pre.s rave, but carefully consider the question and vote for the ticket which best represents your interests. Thlis is due to your God, your country, )ounr children. Be not discouraged by the ampareint defeat of the people's cause In recent elections, as it Is well known that our political enemies having the election machinery In their hands, encouratgedi ~e ylle it corruption at the ballot box - t eet the Principles we advocate. canse that we maintain lives in the hearts of the tolling millions and when we force from our adversaries a free ballot and a fair count victory will perch n pon tbe banner o.f "Equal r ights to all and special privileges to none."

Tike8 the Stumi,. NiEw YoRK, Oct. 19.-The Hev. co.

Prompectm very Itrigilt for D1emocrattie Victory Next Monthl-1arriaon Lost Mauy VF;ends by Snubblug the People During li Trip to the Pacile Coast. SAN FRANCISCO, October 16.-Max 1'opper, chairman or the Democratic State's central committee, aid one of the Ehrew('est political observers on this coast, says that Gen. Weaver, the People's party candidate for the Presi dency, will receive at least 30,000 votes in Califortia at the cominug elc,ion. le bases the opinion on information re ceived from his associate c<mmittee members in the different counties, and on what hi personally learned by a tour in the farmin and fruit-raising districts of the south. Mr. Popper is satisfied with this pros tect from a Democratic point ot view, for, though conservative in predictinly loc"l success for his own forces, !-e de clares that such a number of votes for Weaver would alone throw the political balance on the side of Cleveland. The new converts to the People's party seem to be mostly from the Re publicans-men who despair o. having the obstacles to liusiness removed by their old party and who look for the remedy in a new organization rather completely to Cut, aside the pr njudices an:1 sentments that have held tiht-m it, lime so long. The Callf,ri ia rauchnien expect, no benefit fron a high Larill wall. Long iave they been educated on tei disad vantages of isolation by the Southern Pacific Railroad system. Ca:npaign orators are telling them i.Uat without protect,on against Euro,ean labor the Eastern mechanic could not afford to buy Californa fruit; but tie California growers know that England i, becom Ing one of their most pronish'g fruit maikete, an(] the argtment, therefore doesn't, hold. The prospect of havinw tin plate facto ries established in this State lias long eii (i.isiscd fro a the mind of tihe Calitornini, but still remainiti. is the( merory of ho - the dulusion lias until iccently been kept up for iolitical effelt in other prts of the country. A year ago iti was known that there was 0no tin worth loolhni lot at the Teniesca mines and the faQt wai printed in the Time. but still the asscrti-nis of wondertl pr ductions were madc. Even atier the workings had cntirely stopped, the lie publican organs throiiout tie SIC maitLined ihat the mines were payimu. It is now-a t1uestiot, whether somi. of the Temescal tin that was made into badges was not imported on the Pacific steamers. NobMdy ever ventures to tell the Canifornia ranchiian that a hli h tarill' helps h;ni by lowering the co4t of living, and this year there is a scarcity ot ilausi le artuments that might be used to hold votes for. the Republican ticket. The tin badges are the exclusive proper ty of the Demecrats, and "free-trade England" is found to be a good place to sell California fruit. 01 course the wine growers are protceted, but their product, is unsold, becauge Europeani retaliatory measures shut them out from c')mpeti. tion in the wine-driiking countries. Only high-priced winus are wanted in Amer ica, while t,he California prodiuct, manu I'actured on an enormous scale aod at the very l'owest expense, as is would be under less restricted conditions, would be best appreciated wvhere w i e is thie coimmon beverage. Andi so, with their possibiillesi- cut, away on every side0 andI with no resulting gain, tihe tillers of the irrigated soil a e wonderaing what they are protect,edl from. That, is why thiere is a great breaking away fromi Repujblican leadership,. Th~fousand(s of former lIcpuiblicans will vot.c for Weaver this year-, ailIndinny will go over t,o Clcyclaind andJ the tariff' issue. .Again, there is litt,le personal admira tion for President] Harris~on mn California - less, indeed, than tbere was four y e irs ago. The President,ial whirl t,brouh the State in 1891, when the hospitable, l)atriotic, andI costi.; eflorts ot various little towns were coldly met or Impat,i ently rejected, (lid no-, solidity tihe party vote for this yearis's camlpainlgn. Comn mnunit,y pride1 is strong in California, and t,o offend it is as disastrous for a poli ti cal mani in some dlistriets as it wouild b~e p)ersonailly fatal for himi to insult, the in dividual citizen. .zslaine was the favorit.e of thie Colifornia llepubhicans, and many at sole uni VOW was registeredl whien the pews camne of his deft at in the cilnyen tioni. T1he Democrats, on the other hand, wantedl Cleveland, and lie was: nomlca ted. They are ent,busiastic and ii a are eage. for t,he election. UndoubtedlIy many a Democratic farm, r will co o',er to the Weaver party,,but tile percaitage of the filliig awvay will lie tor less thian amon'g the liepublicnis There is not the dl1satitaraction to ' all tihe Democrats away and therp is the prospect of Vic tory to hold them, Four years ago Harrison carried Cali forunia by a plura!!27 * 7.111 votes, the higures being 124,782 for Hairrison and1( 117,671 for Cleveland. The plurality was mnade up in farming B -0lions. Al amuie(a County gave 2,501 vot,es over (levelandI, Los Angeles County 2,3-18.

NASIINNILLI.:, TENN, Oct. 14.-The venerable Bishop J.M. Brown, of the African Methodist Church, reached the city this morning on his way from his home in Washington to the annual ses sion of the Tennesse Conference at Punlaski, which opens to-morrow and contiiaes for about six days. A rep resentative of the American sought him to ask his views as to the duty of the negro voters in the present cai piigil. I it ainswer to a direct question Bishop lrown said that he did not believe it was in any sense to the interest of the colored people to vote solidly for any one political party. Such a course c dwarfed them intellectually and de- N stroyed their power and influence. So t long as a iparty was certain of their vote I that party would not respect them as a t political factor, nor consult their wishes in any sense. When the negro learned c to vote for that party from which he had the most to expect, then both par ties woild regard him as a factor to be consulted in the elections. "lut, in the presentcampaign," asked t.he A merican, "which party do you be lieve should receive thesupport of your e race. 1.1 in answer to this question the Bishop s read an open letter which lie had pre- A pared, entitled "Which shall we vote p) for?" in which, after stating that the ci Uepublican party had brokei its pled- tj ges to the negro, and instancing many r examples of this fact, lie goes on to show that Mr. Cleveland has always treated his race fairly. lie instances the case of Mr. Matthews, a colored man, whom Ar. Cleveland nomnina- 0 ted for recoider of deeds in Wash ington, and retained in the position n tiitil the Senate had a st-cond time Li refused to conirm him, when lie i imiuiiinated a klassachIIuset ts colored C mnm for the position, tht s enlisting a Nort hern in:eies!, and the %Nviiate con- "I lirmed him.

III nis letter in reply to 'eter M. Clark, U a colored mail, he spoke most kindly and expressed his deep interest in oura Coitis._ Have wo had such kind utter ances from amy other canuidate? It P is not s.cial etiality we ask for, for w thalt will take care of itself, but we (o G ask t hat %N o be treated Iairly. s 'I now appeal to you, dear brethern, al to 1hink betore you act, and dto not act e so t.s to engulf us in ot her and more lt ievere dilliculties.
