VOL. XXI, NO. 38 DARLINGTON, S. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20,1894 WHOLE NUMBER 1,024 EVANSHASTHE LEAD Democratic State Convention on In South Carolina. THE OCALA PLATFORM PROBABLE. Disposition of the Conditional Holt Made in the Antl-Tillman Convention Re mains to be Seen—The Fight on to the Finish. COLUMBIA, S. C., September 19.—The democratic state convention meets at noon today. This morning’ arrivals complete the list of delegates, and the convention shows every evidence of being one of the largest, and perhaps loudest ever held in the Palmetto. John Garry Evans will be the nominee for governor. There is a quiet scram ble among reformers for the other places. The convention, will, in all probability, again adopt the Ocala plat form, though there are some who are willing to meet the conservatives half way. That there will be two tickets both claiming to be democratic is almost certain and a short, but excit ing campaign will result. What the republicans will do remains to be seen. It is rumored that they will revive and take a hand in the fracus. One of the principal features of the convention will be the disposition made of the feeling brought out in the anti- Tillman convention yesterday. This convention adopted a series of resolutions in which it was demanded of the state convention which meets to day that they adopt the Chicago plat form and explicitly declare true and loyal allegiance to the national demo cratic party ; that it, at the same time repudiate and rescind the action of the state convention of 1872 which adopted the Ocala platform as the principles of the democratic party of the state ; that the state convention nominate no one not in full accord with the principles of the national democratic party or no one who acknowledge allegiance to the Ocala platform or to the principles of the populist party. An executive committee of one mem ber from each county was appointed which shall call the convention again should the state convention fail to car ry out these demands. OFFICERS ARREST OFFICERS. Bloody Klot In Chlcnxo Among ConstablM, Detective, and Oamblera. Chicago, September 19.—Shortly af ter 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a squad of detectives from Matt Pinker ton’s agency attempted to raid the gam bling house of Harry Varnell, ex-coun- ty boodler, at 119 Clark street. The inmates of the establishment had been advised of the intended raid and made a stubborn resistenoe. Several black eyes and hldbdy noses were inflicted and the row continued until Varnell secured warrants for the arrest of the Hnkertons from a near by magistrate on a charge of disorderly conduct. A squad of special constables descended upon the detectives and took them to the Harrison street station and the gambles went to work to repair damages. Varnell was open as usual last night. It is thought that the raid was the work of the civic federation. Another story is that it is a phase of war between the “Trust” gamblers and those who are carrying on business on their own hook.

St. Locig, Mo., SepUmber IT.—At a meeting of the ex-confederate histori cal and benevolent association last aight. Rev. Dr. R. C.-Cave, of this city, was invited to speak. He made an ad dress on the southern question, of which the following is a part: “We have held our peace for thirty years, while the northern people have represented us as an ignorant horde of rebels and traitors, battling only to hold human beings in the bonds of slavery: If it U true that the confederates were traitors and fought only for slavery, the best thing we can do is not to build monuments, but to tear those down that now stand, neg lect the graves of the southern dead, until the beating rain smoothes the little mounds to the level of the plain, and nature covers the place with ita broad mantle of green and with it tha shame of the southland. But if the men who followed Lee, Jackson and Mis souri’s I’rice were not rebels and trait ors, but true hearted patriots, battling for their homes and native land, we owe it to them and to ourselves to boldly aflirm and to fearlessly assert the fact.” CHARGED WITH HERESY.

But the opposition to the junior senator and which is based upon hie anti-administration course in the recent tariff contest, is compact, ag- gresive and under good leadership, ami because it is out numbered it does not follow that it will accept the peace and harmony programme of the Brice fol- lowera without putting itself on record.

Rev. It. D. Cobbs, Tsatlflsz That Psopls of Ills Race Are Fairly Treated. Buena Vista, Va., September 18.— The following statement has been given a oorrespomient by the Reverend R. D. Cobbs, colored, who, as an ex- slave and freedman, has had a lifetime experience among his race in the south: “I was born and brought up in slave times, have lived in the south since the war. mixing largely among my own people, and am therefore in a position to emphatically deny the reports which have been circulated abroad that the south is s bad place for the negro to live, or that he Is denied his civil rights in this country. "As for the white people of the south, there are no more liberal and kind- hearted anywhere. Exceptions can be found, of course, in all communitits; but the leading white people of the south want everybody to do right, whether he is white or black, and when they see a man trying to do right they are ever ready to help him. When, on the other hand, they know any one to run with willing feet after evil, they discountenance him, of course. The south is my home and I do not want to see her misrepresented. “The question has been asked, 'Why are negroes lynched in the south sines the war?’ I reply that nearly every case of such lynching was for brutal outrage on the wives ami daughters of white people. The scoundrel who com mits such crimes deserves to die. I am opposed to lynch law. not that I think it cruel for such guilty villians, but be cause it is opposed to civilization and good government. Miss Ida Wells ought to make these things known In England, and tell why the lynching is done in the south. Let her make known the devlish cause. “England knows little about the southern negro, and probably cures less. Not one word spoken there or in any other foreign country will help ths cause of the negro here; but if we go to work, teach our people and pray to God to make them what they ought to be, He will bless such labor. He will answer such prayer, and the lynching of negroes in the south will bo no more.” To Roaume Oporstloo.
