ELBERT II. AULL, EDITOR. ELBERT IL AULL, Propreto WM. P. HOUSEAL, NE WBERRY. S. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1888. THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. FOR PRESIDENT: GROVER CLEVELAND, OF NEW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: ALLEN G. THURMAN, OF OHIO. Several important matters that we desired very much to have in the Her ald and News this week are crowded out for want of space. The rules governing the Judicial pri mary election are published on the first page of this paper this week. The same managers will hold the election for So licitor in this county who serve for our county election. This is an important office and we should have a full vote. From the reports in the papers it looks as if the opposition to the renomi nation of Governor Richardson will be pretty strong in the State Convention to-day. It is difficult as yet to tell what will be the strength developed. The opposition may not be able to centre on a man. We think the resolution adopted by the convention on Saturday a good one,. or that part relating to primary elec tions being put under State control. Our Legislators should think of this and at the next session of the Legislature if we are to continue to have primary elections for nominating candidates, let us have a statute on the subject. The annual reports of the pres.dent and treasurer of the Building and Loan Association, show the association to be in good condition and a good institu tion for Newberry. The stock seems to be worth a little more than 40 per cent. its par value. It has been agreat institution for Newberry. We would be glad to see a little more building going on. Dr. Jas. McIntosh in his annual re port as president of the Building and Loan Association, states that of the 57 loans showing on the treasurer's books 45 are to stookholders secured by mort gage and pledge of stock, and 2 loans to stockholders with personal security. This is agood showing and proves that the association is doing good for its own members. The writer of the article published in the Register in regard to the County Convention, a portion of which is pub lished elsewhere,requests the following "statement made: "That portion of the article which says that all the opposi tion to Governor Richardson is among Sthe adherents ofJ. A. Sligh is incorrect. Tht many good men who supported Sligh are in favor of the renomination of Gov. Richardson. The article was written in haste and in this way the mistake was made." THE SECOND EIARY. .The second pimary election will be held in this county next Tuesday. It is. important that there should be a full vote polled at this time so as to get the will of the majority. Two of the most important offices in the county yet re main to be filled. The County Com-] missioners have the checking out of the funds and the treasurer is the custo dian of the same. But there is another race to be run and another candidate to be voted for at this time which makes it doubly in cumbent upon all the voters turning out. County pride should bring every: Democratic voter in the County to thei polls next Tuesday. The nomination of a Solicitor of this Judicial Circuit has been referred to the primary, and] Newberry has a candidate in that race -Col. Osborne L. Schumpert. He wasI a gallant soldier in the war though but a boy. For twenty years he has done noble service for the democracy, work ing with untiring energy and signal ability in whatever position he was placed. He is a true and tried son of Newberry. An able advocate, learned in the law, he would make a Solicitor of whom all New berry would be justly - proud. Then let us, every man, turn t out and cast a vote for 0. L. Schum-C pert for Solicitor. If we ever expect to have anything outside our county we must 1Im'l together, and now is oner time wye should do it. There are three other counties in this Circuit, Laurens, Spartanburg and Union. Laurens has t a candidate, a rtanburg has two can didates, and Union's candidate, Col. David Johnson, jr., has withdrawvnt from the race. Col. Schumnpert will t carry nearly all of Union, a ;:Ia vote in s Laurens and Spartanburg, and with a E solid vote in his own county, his chances are good for the nomination. j We hope our people will take interest t enough in this election to turn out,and ~ have county pride enough, if nothing more, to vote for their own home man, t especially when be is the peer,if not the t superior, of any candidate in the race, ~ so far as fitness and ability go. This miuch is said without disparagenment of e the claims of any other of the candi- c dates ini the race. They are all good men so far as we know. R. C. Watts, of Laurenis, H. L. Farley and Stanyarne o Wilson of Spartanburg. THE sTATE CONVENTION. The State Convention meets inColum bia to-day for the purpose of nomina- I ting State officers. .Governor Richard-. son is the only candidate for the place who has declared his candidacy. The r last State Convention passed a resolu- a tion, which we believe is now part of the Constitution of the D)emocraticC party, which was to the effect that can didates for the position of Governor y and Lieutenant-Governor would be ex-t pected to address the people of theState, ~ defining their position on the issues of t the day. Sonme construe that provision r of the Democratic party to confine ~ Pnominations only to such persons ase cut to k.lied with this action o hje last ~ -venion othrs hat t des not. The exact meaning of the Con vention is not clear in the resolution, The Executive Committee appointed a meeting in each Congressional District, ind Gov. Richardson has spoken at yach appointment. Col. B. W. Ed wards, who seems to be partly a candi late, we believe spoke at two of these ippointments. Capt. B. R. Tillman, who says he is not a candidate, spoke it several,if not all,of the appointments. We do not believe that provision neces arily binds the Convention to-day to Richardson, yet what was the sense of putting him or any other candidate to the trouble of making this canvass and then select a man from the field. The sentiment against Gov. Richardson's nomination seems to be in the majority in Newberry County, judging from the Convention on Saturday. We hear in >ur own county no fault to find with 3ov. Richardson or anything against linm. They seem to desire a change and a strong anti-Richardson delegation has een sent to the State Convention. We ave believed all along and still believe :hat Gov. Richardson will be renomi aated in Columbia to-day, along with :he whole of the present State ticket. several counties, however, have sent tnti-Richardson delegations and it is :ard to tell what strength they will de :elop. AT THE MERCY OF THE TRUST. [he Jute Manufa:turers have the Farmers by the Throat-No Help for Them. [Special to Register.] Just now the Cotton Bagging Trust .s a most fruitful theme of conversation )n 'Change. It may be as well for the readers of the Register who make cot :on to understand the situation. Some ,armers in their just indignation igainst this most outrageous imposi ion are resorting to all sorts of devices to do withoutjute bagging. There is, aowever, no help for them except in congress. They are obliged to use jute )agging or withhold their cotton from market. Of course, those who can sell their cotton to the local factories can ale it as they please, but cotton which s sent to any seaport must be baled in ute bagging. A case in point occurred here to-day. Eight bales of cotton baled in what is known as gunny bags were rejected by the shippers as unmerchantable. The man who shipped them will have to pay for their rebaling here, and so will every other farmer who ships his cot. ton to a port not baled injute bagging. [f any factor writes to a farmer to send bis cotton along in any kind of cover ing, the farmer, if he is wise, will not lo it. In order to be shipped, cotton must be baled in jute bagging, and the farmer need not be told that he has got to pay for the bagging, whether he knows it or not. The jute manufacturers have the Farmers by the throat and there is no help for him. The talk about pine straw bagging is purely ephemeral. A very good article of the kind is manu actured at Wilmington, but one fac ory can hardly supply material enough ror a county, let alone thirteen States. The farmers' only hope is in Congress. [f Congress would come to their help uickly by placing jute bagging on the ree list, there might be some hope of relief; but in order to afford any relief :he action must be prompt and quick. There does not seem to be any proba ility of it, however. This is the situation plainly stated, md it would be as well for farmers to tare it in the face. It is pretty hard ines that the whole ag,ricultural com runity of the South s'hould be at the nercy of a combination composed of a lozen manufacturers, but it is one of he inevitable results of the protective ariff. The squeeze, it will be remem ered, was not thought of until jute as put on the free list in the Mills bill. [hat frightened the manufacturers. [hey saw in it the possibility of new ~actoies springing up and of bagging oing down in price, and then they ~ombined. The only remedy is to ad nit jute bagging free, and until this is lone the farmers will have to submit :o the squeeze unless they can afford to iold their cotton. I HINT TO THE AIKEN CONVENTION. rhe Unique Way in Which a Deadlock Was Broken in Missouri. ST. Lous, August 30.-The represen atives of the voters of the Seventh ~Lissouri Congressional District decided he claims of two candidates for Con ;ress ina unique but not popular way' ast night. The District is known broughout the State as the Deadlock istrict. There is always a fight among he Democrats and always a "dead ock." The usual thing happened this ear. There were four candidates for he p lace now filled by Mr. Hutton. R. .orton of Troy and Ju'dge Robin on of Franklin were the strongest in he Convention, but neither had enough otes to secure the prize. One hundred allots were taken Tuesday arnd Wed esday. Then Nat. Dryden, a friehd of orton, and Sol. Hughlett, represent ug Robinson, decided on a plan to kiil he deadlock. Accompanied by the two andidates, they repaired to a rooni in he hotel at Warrington. Each candi late put up $1,000 in the hands of a takeholder. A silver dollar was pro luced. Dryden flipped it in the air and -ughlett took the $2,000 and Dryden ushed down the stairsand ordered the hairman to call the Convention to rder. It was called forthwith, and tobinson turned his votes over to Nor on and nominated him. The stories about the money differ. ome elaimn that when the agreement ras miade to "flip' for the nomination here was a supplenientary agreement hat the winner should pay the exp)en es of the loser's preliminary campaign, stimated tobe $1,000. Another version that the $1,000 put up by each side as in the nature of a forfeit to abide 'y the decision of the toss up, and to urn over delegates enough to nominate, nd a third version is that each side p)ut .p$,00 to make a pot betwveen which n the nomination the winner of the oss up was to take his choice. Some of he near friends of Norton and Robin on deny that there was any cash fea ure aout the affair. Anmong Norton's diediate friends there was great rejoi ing over the result. Among the other .elegates. as the facts caine out, there evelopod a feeling that the convention ad put before the voters a man heavily an dicapped by a nomination thus Not a Waterloo for the Trust. (Augusta Chronicle.] A bale of cotton packed between oards and adorned with such devices ainted on the boards as "Keep your agging ; we don't need it ;" "Down ith the trust," and "Let's beat the obber ring," attracted a great deal of ttention on cot ton row yesterday. The bale was sent by Mr. J. T. Norris, f Waterloo, S. C., and consigned to lessrs. P. & G. T. Sib)ley. Mr: Sibley was offered :1 of a cent er pound above the market price, less he weight of the boards, but he re ased it. The plan of packing the cotton in oards wvill not wvork for a great many ~asons. In the first place, it can only e sold to the factories, as the exporters ront't touch it. It. is hard to handle xceedingly so-and it is thought if it Tere comipressed the wood could never e searnated from the otton. A Caucus on the Late Primary. To the Editor of The Herald .an News: On Saturday, the first day < September, the Democratic convenu of Newberry county met to elect del, gates to the State coavention. Ju: four days previous to this the Nev berry primary election had been he] and the announcement had gone fort that Gen. Y. J. Pope had defeated h competitor, the hon. J. A. Sligh, i the Senatorial race by a majority < only (34) thirty-four votes. At 10 o'clock on Saturday morninl one hour before the county conventio met, about one hundred of Mr. Sligh friends and supporters met in Juds Blease's office to talk over the resuli of the election, and to take some actio in regard to the fraud and corruptio by which said election was carried i favor of Mr. Pope. Five hundred pe< ple could have been easily gathered t< gether on this occasion had the wor gone out that such a meeting would . held. There may be other meetin. similar to this one,as a feeling of unre: and indignation is wide-spread amon many of the people of the county. M Samuel Duncan was made chairman < the meeting; J. S. Wheeler, secretar) The resolutions below, introduced b Mr. W. A. Hill, after being duly coi sidered, were unanimously adopte( The meeting was not a noisy one-tli men composing it were sober and ten perate in their utterances, but a spir; of earnestness characterized alt tin was done and said. Those men are a true and tried Democrats, their denio racy has never been disputed, but then with hundreds of others, good ci izens and Democrats of the county, fe that a great wrong has been coinni ted, and they say to the few who at the main perpetrators of these unju proceedings: "Thus far have you gon and no further must you go." The believe fraud and corruption have bee practiced within the party in order t defeat those who have always been tru to the party, and they simply inten not to countenance such any longer nor allow it. After the adoption of the followiu resolutions the secretary was requeste to have the same publisned in the New and Courier and the three county p: pers, and to furnish along with thei statement ,expressing the feelings an sentiments of those conposing tb meeting: WHEREAS, At the recent primar election, held in the county of N e% berry, on the 28th day of August, A. I 1888, in the grossest and most willft violation of all the precedents, rules an regulations of the Democratic party < Newberry, persons of the negro rac4 with irresponsible vouchers, minor non-residents, drunken persons an other illegal voters were all ordered t vote, and .fraud and corruption wej practiced in the purchase of voters, an voting the ballots of voters, and hkt wise intimidation and force were exe cised in various ways, but especially i the free use of intoxicating liquors,tht accomplishing the complete destructio of all the sacred honor and former pt rity of the Deijocratic party, and tra ducing its good name in the county < .Newberry; therefore Resolved, That we denounce a sucn men or means, who were ac ively or dormantly engaged or en ployed in perpetrating such a wron upon the political rghits of the whii people of Newberry County. Resolved, That we emphatically an without reseive, pronounce that tli said election was illegal and invalic and that by reason of its illegality il result is not binding and of force upo any Democratic voter of Newberr County. Resolved, That in the adoption < these resolutions we declare it to be ot purpose to tenaciously adhere to tli D)emocratic party, and to act within i lines, and in all our efforts and worn under the same, our object is and sha be to effet the purification and purgi tion of the Democratic party of Nev berry County of the vicious influenet and practices used by the successft party at the late primary election. R~esolved, That we hereby deman and urge that the Hon. J1. A. Slig shall make a public exposition of a the actings and doings of those wh have been instrumental inl perpetrat in the fraud upon the party at the lat primary election. SAMUEL DUNCAN, Chairman. J. S. W HEELE R, Secret ary . A Letter from Hon. J. A. SUigh. To the People of Newberry Count.1 A great many of my supnorters in th recent Primary Election expected an even demanded me to contest sai electioni. Now, since the time has elapsed fc making such contest before the Exect. tive Committee, they demand of. m that I shall, in justice to myself an, them,state.my reasons for not appealin to said commit tee. I fully realize that the opportunit; before me for doing good to the who] County is a grand one, b)ut I also rt alize that the responsibility restin upon me is ind(eed great. In a short time I will give the reason why I did not refer this whole nmatte. to the Executive Committee for its de cision, and I will also give my views os the whole matter. Irregularities of the grossest kin< have been committed, and the Demc cratic party cannot remain still and allow fraud and corruption so glarin; to go unrebuked. There may have bee: some irregularities, some instances c fraud,comnmitted by my friends, but I d< not know nor have I heard of a sing]' instance. I know instances in whiel my friends discouraged the use of whis key and money in buying votes, a well as voting negroes, non-resident andl minors. If there are such cases o fraud on our side, I for one say let then be shown up. The party, the friend of good government, canniot wink a such, but should openly stamp thlei disapproval upon all such methods oi carrying an election within the D)emo cratic party. A contest between brothie Democrats should not be carried on b' the use of whiskey, illegal arid fraudu lent votes and by voters in a beastl' state of intoxication. I aml glad to give it as my opinior that but conmparatively few Democrat: of the count!y were guilty of such out rageous acts on the day of election, an< that the sober, good and patriotic pee pe onl both sides disapprove of sue] conduct. My appeal, therefore, shall be mad< to the people, and the p)rotest that] shall off'er in behalf of honest election: shall come before them; for thecy ari generally right in such matters. I with many others, firmly believi that, according to the righteous verdic of the people, the legal and <iualifie( voters of the county, I have been nomn inated for the Senate, and( this too afte: a heated contest in which every ad vatge was taken of ime by false re ports, by initinmidating voters, by.de nying mc in an indirect way the privil ege of speaking to many of thle peoli of the county, and by every false pre tense that could be practiced. Indeet the treatment I received from thos< who were determined at all hazards t< defeat me was the treatment at on' time given to the radical and corrupi leaders of the Republican party. The true, honest, decent and re spetable Democrats of tile county should not and will not countenanet such conduct towvards any respectahl< broter DJemocrat and allow the dis mberment of the p)arty for the grati fiation of a few menl. I wanit it di.stinctly understoodl thal Iamn not contending~for the nominatior which the Executive Committee in th< absence of any protest has seen fit tt give to Mr. Pope. That which I an others wish to accomplish is the purn fiation of our county- politics amnd t.h purgation of the party from politica corruption and fraud. Having received 926 of the 1887 vote cast for Senator, I have nothing to bE ashamed of; especially as these votes, coming from among the very best peo d ple of the county, were given without ,f resorting to fraud, without being car n ried by corrupt practices, without being influenced by the use of whiskey, ,t money or the employment of any un fair means. I shall ever be proud of this large and li honest vote given to me in the way s it was, not bought, not begged, not forced, but honestly and fairly given to mfe. I shall als) be proud of the good behavior of my friends shown on every occasion to my competitor; such is democratic, such is gentlemanly. All thi.-the large vote given to me under such peculiar circumstances, and the kindness and respect shown to my n competitor both by my friends and i myself-places us on high ground and confers upon mie a more distinguishing . honor than a mere noniuation to any r ofice. d May I have strength to perform my d whole duty and be instrumental in ae coiplishi:g great good to :il1 the I ask my friends to furnish me the names of all illegal vott rs and to give - mne any infornation they mi have conceini!ig irregularities in the recent elect ion. Itempect fully, J. A. SMi. i SL'i-txe 4, ISS. A Card from J). S. Pope. t io the Lditor of The Herald and t e--s: My attention has been called to a letter from Newberry in the Co lumbia Register of the 4th instant in which the writer has seen fit to misrepresent me. I distinctly stated to the convention that I had been nominated in some of the papers , of the State for the oflice of Lieuten 'at Governor, but that Iwas not a can e didate. The writer of the letter was Sp)resent and heard my declaration to " that effect. 0 1 was opposed to the noiniiiation of e Governor Richardson two years ago, and but for the sickness of my brother ~ would have been present in the con vention, and would have cast my vote b against him. I said iothiig in that S.violent speech" derogatory to Gov. Richardson either as Governor or as a ~ citizen, but I did insist and do now in a sist that there are hundreds of men in d this State just as competent and as de e serving as he is, and I mentioned the names of several of them. S I desire to state here, once for all, that - I was not invited to any caucus nor was I present at any caucus before or after the meeting of the convention; d that I acted in the convention upon my own motion; that after the second ' call of the ayes and nays I went over a to Mr. Seott and told him that the fight d was won, and that he had better get up 0 a ticket for delegates. A ticket was e prepared accordingly and my name d was placed at the head of it without consulting me, except that I suggested ~ the name of Dr. Carlisle, and when he declined Maj. DeWalt was substituted. s The defeated resolutions were intro duced by Col. Miller, a Sligh man in - the senatorial race. Mine were adopted, and I was a Pope mlan. Three of the ) delegates elected voted for Pope; five for Sligh. It was a fair fight and hon 1 estly won. The truth is and cannot be denied, -Newberry County is anti-Richardson. g "This is a governmnenht of the people. The offices belong to them, and not to d any particular man or set of men. dIf I am correctly informed as to the eC writer of tire article in tire Register, hre ,has received many acts of kindness at s my hands, not necessary to mrention, n anid this is the way he irepays them. Y Misrepresenitat ion is not the wveapon of a gentleman, and no fair-minided mnan will sustain One wiho mrisrepresents, r even if ire is on his own side. It has e been my mrisfortune often to have beenr s mnisrepreseinted, but I have survived it s all and am satisfied that I have the re ispect and confidence of the people of Lmy county. Those who are so ready to impute s evil miotives to others, themselves have i wicked, bad hearts and are constantly seeing in their mindl's eye frightful d things in others. b Respectfully, il S. Por':. wn~Vi.Vir Til: coi!iESP(oxJ):NT SAIO. e [Register, 4th.] There is a secret in the oppositionl ini this county to Governor Richardson. It has been~ foimented her'e by Rev. ..A. Slighr because Governor Richardson refus'ed to arppoint U. B. Whites Trial .Justice at Prsperity, and it is further said that Governor Richardson said he Shoped the people of Newvberry would not send S1igh back to the Senate. Newherry ha;s defeaited Sligh, but he r d'es hiaril. Dr. Pope's oppositiorn lies in the fact that if some oilier mrain is nominated, perhap)s he may get onr lhe ticket as Lieutenant Governor. The ~entire opposition is in thne ranks of the Slighr ad herents, andI they are very sore.
