I wylie a. comparison of my record
as a Demacrat and as oas' who faa?
always bain true to the Democratic
party with the record of any other
/ man in th? party.
It is true that Mr. Wilson, under oar
tain recommendations from our State,
against tho Democratic nom?nese,
I.hive uot complained, If my friends
has Been tit so far not to give ? singlo
ppblic office to ? "Ble?Mie," a? some
ca? Diem. Every Office that he baa
glyen in South Carolina has been to
men who were agaiast me and my
rriends, and ia some instances he has
given them to men who haw* voted
Have asked for anything, I do not know
lt, and most assuredly I have pot ask
ed .for anything for them, and 1 only
mention this to show that Mr. Wilson
'-Wm!*? himself or through his advls
ors'in thia State, has absolutely lg.
bored tile present Governor ot South
Carolina and his followers, and instead
of treating them with fairness and any j
consideration, he ha? turned RS diaf
'htffcu* to them aa. he could have turn
jmH*'.they had. been boilers. -. > ,
m ord^r ?how mor? full<j the kind
of peoph ho} are 'questioning my
Democracy, desire to call attention
not only to th? editor, but to the owa
ersjand m?nagera or thia daily news
paper in Columbia that ls holding it
self, up as the tho great guardian of
South Carel ina's Democracy and aa
tho censor pf. the Democratic party. I
bfnuoto from a statement In the imper

Later General Wade Hampton reitera
ted this m an article on.Go.vcrnor Till
man, which waa printed in this,news
waa headed, "Hampton Hits Him

are worse than Radicals"-and Hamp

If you would allow me further , to
suggest, I would make the following
Issues;
First." Competency.
Second. Honesty of Purpose.
Third. Education.
Fourth. Taxation.
Fifth. A measure that will prevent
white people from teaching negroes
In any school or coll ige In this State.
Sixth. A flat rato of two-cents a mlle

Let each candidato wh on he appears
before the votors.show himself cern?'

upon .pie issues which I name. Then;
after, he expresses himself. If the voter
finds b'm hourn potent and hon cot, tod

voter stahde. let the voter aupporthim.
If ho docs not. defeat bim. Asr for my
self. I wilt answer nov; while tier?

First. Competency. .

tain that'he favors thone thing? which
aro.for the heit interests bf the peo
ple-lhat he favors them at .heart and

As to my honesty, I submit the pub

thc result of bringing about a very

all the leading educators will admit
this fact, though, some of thom, or
course through narrow-mindedness:
and prejudice, will attempt to. tsko
some et. th*.m^adlt Crofp^me. Howev
