THE MnNING .TX39E Mamimilig. S.C1. S. A.-NETTLES. Editor. WEDNESDAL JULY 16. 1890. NO SPUlT. The Fampton county News-Herald is sadly in need of political education. It tnes us to task for saying 'the Tilman faction of the Democratic party would do everything possible to prevent the other side from splitting away,' and tells us, amazing igno rance, that the Anti-Tillman faction is the party, the whole party, and none others are Democrats. The ar ticle is not worth notice, except sim ply to make a point we desired to make anyway. The charge has been falsely made time and again that Tillman is run Ming on a separate and independent platform, with a separate executive committee, and was nominated by a separate convention. We repeat that this charge is false, and .that those who make it ought to know that it is false. Tillman is as squarely in the Democratic party as Earle or Bratton. There is as vet no platform, and will not be till the State convention meets and adopts one. ' Tllman was nominated by a con v'ntion, but while every member of that convention was a Democrat, yet he was not nominated or named as by a Democratic conventiop, but simply b a large representative body of farmers who adopted a platform of principles and named a man as their choice for governor, both to be pre sented to the regular Democratic .Sate noIminating convention for ap prvla4adoption, and with the olea -Mid piedge tabide the ecision of tht convention. They are not to bolt even if defeated. ' T same thing on a smaller scale has been done in the Democratic party in this State thousands of times before, and tbre will be no change in the future. In fact it is an unusual thing for a club,'or county convention, or State conventip, to meet and not make some kind of nomination or en dorsement. The State convention two year ago endorsed Cleveland and * resolutions on the tarif etc.; was that undemocratic? Have not -the people, the Democrats, from the vy nature of the word, the right to doastheyplease? Did not the Dem 'ocratic farmers of this State this year have as much right to meet in con ention, and having adopted certain resotions, present them to all the ./ Democrats of the State in convention assmbled as represented by their and asc that they' be ac cepd and adopted as the resolutions of the whole Democratic party? Is .i that a treasonable offense? i .., the Democratic farmers have worked quietly and conservaitive to get their measures adopted, and 4ywil'succeed too by a big major ity. When, heretofore, the' few polit alDemocratic bosses around Colum a wh cariedthe whole State in .>their breehe pocke ""'edi"* ud always pushed it through, it was MHush! you'l split the party !' and Abn al ;was quiet; but now, when hus life-long, self-constitutd polit ical bosses find the fat offices, both of 'profit and honor, slipping from their -grasp they cry out, 'We are the Dem cat inbwom all wisdom is center ed:you are the bolters." And, finally, in a spirit of utter bnll-dozinig desper sto nconference assembled, with deetdpicted in every countenance, they cry out in a pitiful winority, "WE ue the Democratic party, and if you don't as heretofore submit to the paty lash of your former bosses WE el, we hope they will not split; we know hundreds that will not split: bt if a few of the most rabid ones dogoover and try to elect Brayton or any other Radical they will soon be -co so deathly sick of such an ac tion tat in the dark hours of midnight 'hey will slink back to the Democratic d, and beg tobe quietly let in at a aside gap. We have no fears of a split of the Democratic party in South Carolina. No better and truer men ever lived than our own native South Caroinian, and we have perfect con 'fdence in the outcome of this seething political cauldron. Tilman hinmself does talk too much, and has said some things he ought nnt to have said, but, nevertheless, in hs atterances there is a volume of truth. That he will be able to correct aatheeevils that eist we have grave doubts, but we believe he will use his very best efforts to attaini an approxi mate correction, and that he will make a governor worthy of the re spspct and admiration of evpry man in the State. il~man, we say, does talk too mch, but he does all the hard talking 'for the entire faction he a.epresents; while, on the other hand, nearly every body on the~ want-to-split side talks abuse at once, and says in one minute more hard things than Tillmian and all his supporters would say in a o sum up, Tillman will be nomi naed, will be elected, and will make a st-class governor; the other side wilield to the will of a very large maority, and there will be no split; two years hence Tillman will be re eleted by a practically unanimous Gen. Bratton's own club by an over wheming majority last Monday elect ed a solid Tillman delegation to the *county conveniion, and it is now con fdently claimed that Sumter county will elect Tillman delegates to the Stat convention. The campaign of education has put the people to thinking, and they are voting as they plase and not as the jbosses say. Democrats, Attention ! We again ask the attention of every Demcratic club in the county. We desire next week to publish as com pplete an account as we can of tne re arganinzations of the Democratic clubs. Wee want the names of the officers, siumber of members on the roll, num berroffzmembers present, any resolu ~tions that may be passed, and if the .eclub favor primary or convention for State andandcount oers Two weeks later we desire likewise doo publish promptly the namea of the .d-egte o the county convention, Sumter District Conference. Tte Sumter District Conference will meet inthe Methodist church in this place this evening at 8 o'clock, and will continue in session to and including next Sunday. Rev. J. S. Beasley.

UNMITIGATED MENDACITY. The Sumter Advance in its last issue has a great deal to say about the Sumter campaign meeting, but its glasses were so bedimmed with dust, we fear it saw nothing as- it really was. For instance read the two following paragraphs taken from the columns of that paper: Two gentlemen counted the crowd that pulled the Tzllman wagon through Main street, and they say that it was drawn by eighty-one persons, including boys and ne* groes. Fanatteism Rampant.- There-was a con exacou mple of fanaticism run mad on the streets of Sumter during -the meeting. A crowd, composed of 70 per cent, negroes who are attracted by anything that affords them amusement, 25 per cent. boys who did not know what it was for, and 5 per cent. white men dragged Tillmanr through the streets with a wii whoop and yell, and into a. place on Liberty street. In other words, according to the Sumter Adrwnce, the wagon in which Tillman rode was drawn by eighty-one persons, of whom 57 were negroes, 20 were boys, and only 4 were white men ! A greater untruth has not been uttered in this camopaign. We do not know how many drew the wagon, but reiable gentlemen, whd were there, say the rope was about two hundred yards long, and was fillcd up chiefly by white men, and that accompanying thc wagon, as an escort, were hundreds of others walking along the side walk and forming part of the procession. Sheriff Doar, editor of the Georgetown Tmes, was there and puts the number of people who had hold of the rope as two hundred and fifty. The News and Coucrer says he was drawn by Orangeburg friends, and if the negroes had been there in any large numbers that paper would not have lost the opportunity to have made capital of it. But this is the regular and systematic course the Antis pursue. They seldom give us facts. THE ANTIS WILL SPLIT. If Tillman is nominated the Republicans will put a full State ticket in the field, at least, E. M. Brayton, chairman of the Re publican State committee told a reporter of the Columbia Register so. The above from the Sumter Advcace shows exactly which way the polhtical straws are blowing. It simply means should Earle, Bratton, or any other man receive the nom ination of the State Democratic Convention then Tillman and his supporters will fall into line like true patriots, and support the regular ticket, but, on the other hand, should Tillman be the nominee, then, per instructions of the Anti conference, Earle and Bratton and their followers will split and unite on Brayton or some other Radical for governor. Bosh ! Disgusting ! Col. Earle and Gen. Bratton and thousands of their followers arc too noble and true to for a moment entertain such an idea. Though they may not personally like the man, yet when Tillman is nominated in September these gentlemen will fall into line and press to the front as boldly and fearlessly as ever, or we are most woefully mistaken in the men. A few of the Antis would love to split, but these wayfaring brothers will be flogged into line. THE SUMTER MEETING~. The most disgraceful meeting yet held in this campaign was that last Wednesday in Sumter. Too much hot-headed talk had been done on both sides nefore the meeting, and when the time for the meeting came pandemonium reigned supreme. General Bratton was allowed to speak in peace, but the moment Tillmian arose the work of bossism began. His friends nat urally cheered for him, and the Earle men being in a very large majority attempted to drown out their cheers and prevent Tillman from speaking. And it was not, as has been asserted, the Orangeburg and Claren. don roughis that did the devilry, for they did not arrive on the ground till Tillmian had been speaking for some time, but it was the Anti-Tillman bon tons from the Central railroad and from Darlington and from Sumte-r, together with what few Till man roughs had assembled up to that time. Place it in whatever light possible, and the Anti-Tillmanites were responsible for. tha dsgacfu meeting last Wednes day. Suppose some foolish Tilman man had said that it was intended that Earle should not speak, were the Sumter people sa foolih as to believe it expressed the sen timent of any considerable number. No. the first wrong was with the Antis, who at tempted to howl down Tillman. That was radically wrong. And then in the heat of the excitement the otber side naturally at tempted to correct it by doing another wrong. Had there been one or two arrests in the beginning, while Tillman was speak ing, it would have saved Sumter the dis grace of that meeting. We are told that there was secreted on the court house square a number of rifles. Is this possible ! Brouier in arms against brother! We are told that a company of little Loys was organized to howl Tillman down. Surely this cannot be true of our mother county. We are told that the Columbia brass band plaN ed twice while Tillman was speaking. We are not surprised at this. Well, when the candidates come to Man ning we shall endeavor to show our sister town how a political audience should be have. We give below three separate accounts of this meeting, and our readers may form their own ideas as to the fairness and truth fulness of each account. The Disgraceful Sumter Meeting. [From the Sumter Advance.] The campaign meeting in Sumter last Wednesday was one of the largest and liveli est of the campaign. Enthusiasm ran high and everybody seemed ready for the fray. A crowd of Tillmanites gathered at the C. S. & N. depot where Tillman met them and as soon as the excursion train came in the pro cession moved up town. Tillman was seat ed in a wagon decorated with corn stalks and drawn by a crowd of Tillmanites. By the time Tillman arrived at the stand the crowd was estimated at about 3,000 or 4,000. The stand was tastefully decorated, and Earle mottoes met the eye on every hand. As soon as comparative order was secured. Gen. Bratton was introduced and made a patriotic Democratic speech, and would to God the people would heed the words of advice, of warning, of soberness and truth uttered by this grand old hero, pure Demo crat and devoted son of South Carolina. There is no question that the straightouts outnumbered the Tillmanites at least three to one, despite'Ihe fact that a large crowd of Tillman henchmen were brought here from other counties to holler "Tillman" and to howl down Earle. When Tillman began to speak the Tillman ises opened their program, but they found out that they were outnumbered. and the shouts for Earle nearly drowned them out. This seemed to enrage them and for a while pandemonium reigned and the scene was disgraceful. The hurrahing of the Earle men was simply to off set the action of the Tillmanites. Col. Earle appealed to mis friends to give Tillman a hearing, but the feeling was so high ard the confusion so great that the "great bamboozler," the slan derer and traducer of his people, the be smircher of the good name of his State, proceeded under difficulties and his re marks were heard by very few people. His speech consisted of the same old false charges and insinuations without proof and without offering any measures of reform or relief. It was when Col. Earle was introduced that the Tillmanites who came here from abroad to howl Earle down and break up the meeting opened their game in earnest. They were reinforced by Tillmanites from this county. They made .a rush for the sta", and attempted to tear down the Earle banners and break up the meeting. They overestimated their strength, for the straight outs and the police were too much for them, and after several of them were put in the guard housi they quieted down somewhat. Thus the plot of this organized crowd was defeated, and after that the meeting pro ceeded without much difficulty. The ques tion has been asked why were only Tiliman men arrested? If that be true, the explana tion is that the Tillmanites were the ones who kicked up all the devilment here,.as Tillman himself admitted they did at Cam den and as they have been doing elsewhere. The result was that many Tillmanites de serted the fold here at the Sumter meeting. They turned away in disgust. After Col. Earle got through, better atten tion was paid to the other speakers, and it was very remarkable how the large crowd held together till the end. Anti-Tillman Bull Dozing at Sumter. [From the Georgetown Times.) We went to Sumter on Wednesday of this week to see and hear the speakers; we want ed to learn for ourselves exactly how this whole thing was being worked. Of course, we found it an Earle meeting, being at Gen. Earle's bome; we suppose two-thirds of the people present were in favor of Sumter's hono'red son for Governor. Tihe speaking commenced at about eleven o'clock in the morning, and continued with out any intermission until six in the after noon. Tillman was drawn through the streets of the town seated in a farm wagon, dressed with corn stalks, etc., about 250~ people pulling on the rope. Gen. Bratton spoke first for about twenty minutes, with out the least interruption. WVhen Capt. Tillman was announced, the yelling com menced and he was interrupted all during his two hours' speech. It was a shame ful state of affairs, and no one was arrested or molested. When Earle got up and tried to speak, the crowd attempted to do the same thing and yelled and whooped, some for Earle and some for Tillman. The po licemen, being urged thereto by the Earle men, and backed up by the "Columbia con tingent," soon' arrested eight or ten of the Tilman men-ordinary farmers; this forced the crowd to keep quiet, and Earle bad a complete walk over. No one else dared to whoop it up for Tillman. It was useless to lock up the Tillman men because it was all one way, anyhow. It was a complete case of "bull-dozing." The persons in control of the meeting ought not to have allowed Tillman to be interrupted and insulted and then they could have done the same thing for the Earle' men with equal propriety. Fair play is a jewel. The cry was that a lot of Tillmanites had gone there to capture the meeting for their favorites. This was the merest bosh. On the same train with us were a hundred or two people, and nine-tenths of them were Anti-Tilman. Just as we got to the depot a large contingent of the same Anti-Tillman crowd came in from Columbia. Undoubt edly some of Tillman's friends and support ers went to Sumter, but we unhesitatingly declare that a majority of all the visitors there were Anti-Tillman. Yet the impress ion is being conveyed that the Tillman men tried to capture the meeting. "Sumter Has Disgraced Herself." [LBishopLvie Eagle.] Yesterday was our co.mpaign day, we were there, what to say about it, is a puzzle, it was "confusion, worse confounded." Sumter county, the "game-cock" county has disgraced herself-must be the verdict that will go out to the world-and yet-we hardly think the riotous, disgraceful pro ceedings of yesterday, can be charged to us. It was the imported element, those tramn loads from abroad. But; there was some significant occur rences while Capt. Tillman was trying to speak, the howling, whooping, and yelling was funny-veryfmy, but when Gen. Earle got up to speak, the same thing, was a breach of the peace, a sia agyast the 1/oly Ghost, and several were arrested and put in the guard honse. Because they said "Hur ra for Trillnman !" and -'Tilhmaanismi was made stronger thereby. The qjuality of the blood depends much upon good or bad <digestion and assimila tion.

The action of the State Democratic Exec utive Committee in calling a convention to meet in Angust to decide as to whether the delegates to the September Democratic Con vention shall be elected by primary or con vention is being discussed pro and con all over the State. Many think that the action of the committee was unwise and that they should have stuck to the first position. they took on the question, while others think the committee did right in reconsidering their first action and in calling the convention. in our judgment the committee blundered when it called the August Convention.. If the State primary was a new thing and just sprung on the committee the case would be different. 'But it is not, and the commit tee has had plenty of time-to consider the1 matter. In every State Convention of the Democratic party for the past six years the matter has been brought up and discussed, and the Farmers' Convention which met in Columbia last March asked the State Demo-I cratic Executive Committee to call an early State Democratic Convention to consideri and decide the question, but the committeeI at its first meeting to reorganize for thei ca'mpaign by an almost unanimous vote de cided against a primary. So far the action of the conmmittee was all right, and no one would say a word about it if they had not reconsidered the matteri att a meeting in Jfune and called a State con-< vention to consider the primary election guestion, which the committee has already settled to the satisfacetion of a large majority of the people of the State. Early in the campaign Chairman Hoyt, in an interview, said the proposition to hold primary el-c tions for delegates on the sam day in all1 the counties was altogether ont of the ques tion, unless the counties agreed thereto. Yet nearly two months after that interv'iew' thet committee calls a convention to decide the luestion right in the midst of the most ex ::iting political campaign the State has everc known.t If that convention does not do more than. it is called to do, it will be a most renmarka ble body, as we are all prone to use power wyhen we have it. It would not surprise us if the con.vention does nominate a full State ticket from Governor down. State Conventions called for other purposes have lone such things before, and we see no reas an why this one should not do so if it felt so disposed. If it should nominate a ticket we would all be bound hv its action, and we think it would be well enough for the people to bear this in mind in electing delegates to it. We arc in favor of the primary for the nomiing~tuon of all candidates and delegates to the State convention, and had the exec utive committee early in the campaign call eda convention to consider the matter we would have fatvored it, but to bring the mat ter up now after several counties have al ready elected delegates to the September convention, which was called to nominate State onieers, we are opposed to it, and hope the convention will vote it down. Let us run the schcdule through on which we start ed. Whether we have primary or not the result will be the same, and we see no ne cessity for introducing a new element of liscord into the campaign.- rangebur'y Timoes 'ami Denwcrat. Midway Matters.

It would have hii to state what of ices he would abolish, what salaries he would red'uc, and just where the work of reform is to bein. The News goes on to sav that if Mr. Tillman knows tiow to save 310l0,000, hioiw to aibolish useles; oflices and .rdilri: let hiin tel it, h4 him Ih,-w upl oir sht ny )tn that maftter. We have no Llea tatL Mr. Tiflbaan i'; eo ing to sli ip, lit we knmow tli he has hown lp tile Tilng a11 Olig"rchyl that has p the people twnl brought them well ni-h to the verge of hanaruitey. ir. Tilhuan rests his case iupion thel solid roundationi of falcts and figures, and he has stablishedl bevond the domain of, contro %tersv that we are an overtaxed people. It would puzzle and lperple the most econo mical brain to tell jnst e:actlv where the 4tork of reform should begi n. In a govern ment like ours where thousanIs of d~lars tre annually swallowed up in the vortex of Waste and extravagan~e, where there are so Imany useless oIlices, it is ditlienit to say just where the largest leak is. What oflices should be abolished, what salaries shold be reduced. whatexpenses shonld be lopped f1, are questions that cannot be answe'red in a noient. It takes time and rellection, md an examination into all expenditures of .he State before the reinedy can be apphed. So we think the News. makes a most unrea ;onable and unjust demand upon Mr. Till man, an-1 one that coind not Ie compliedl ith. In 18RC the Daily News was a; earnest and is zealous an advocate of retrenelimient in -he State government as Mr. Tillman is to lay. It was a swifter witness against the ring and oligarchy than Mr. Tillman him ielf. In its editorial of Oct. 28th, 1886. en :itled "Some Figures of Taxation," it says: "There is no use for Col. Jobn P. Rich trdson to go '.round the State to'show- that we are a igiitly-taxed people. The thets tnd figures show thalt we are ::nore heavily axed than we were in Rtlical timues, when :axation was said to amoint to con liscation." Here the News bears terrible testimony to waste and extravagance, if not corruption, n the State government. Things are no )etter to-day than they were then, but, on he contrary, they are woise. If the News :mn sustain the charges it brought against he State government in ]SS0, we think it is :ime it should spike its gons and cease to all upon Mr. Tilhuan to coM down to de ails and particulars.- The News goes on to ay in this same editorial, "We have tried o answer the challenge of Small Taxpayer. Now we - ill make anotherassertion and see f he will challenge it. Here it is. The ex- I enses of our State government -can be cut lown to S150,00(i below what they were last ,ear, and State taxes can be reduced a mill Ind a fourth on the present assessment, ,ithout injury to the public interest" Now, according to the testimony of the ews, we are paying to-day $150,000 more han we ought to pay, and yet the News alls on Mr. Tillinan to deionstrate how 100,000 cau be saved. We fear the News has placed itself in an twkward and embarrassing position. If it s right to-day, it was wrong in 1886: if it vas right in 1886, it is wrong to-day.
