The St Louis Globe-Democrat ■ays: ‘ < Tillman, the Alliance Demo- eiatic candidate for Governor of South Carolina, is one of the men who is responsible for all the Con gressional legislation against the South which has ever been proposed. In threatening, as he has often done recently, that all the negroes, who at tempt to vote this year in South Carolina will, be shot, he makes force bills seem statesmanlike and neces sary.” Nobody Frightened. The threads and denunciations made by Mr. Tillman and his sup porters are absurd and undignified and only serve-to show the weakness ef their cause. There is no reason why the election should not be per fectly peaceable and quiet and if it is otherw ise Mr. Tillman will be re sponsible for any violence or blood shed that may result. Rage and fume as they may, it will not deprive Judge Haskell of a single vote of those who are only contending for principle and striving to maintain the purity of the Democratic party; be lieving as they do that if Mr. Till man is elected without protest, the condition of the party will be infi- ■itely worse two years hence than it now is. His Eyes May Be Opened. Tillman, in an interview at Spar- lanbnrg the other day, q]aimed that he would get from 90 to 95 per cent •f the white vote of the State and that he would be elected by from 30,000 to 50,000 over Haskell. We wonder if the blunderer and slander er really believes any such nonsense. He ought to know that there are many men in the State who, although they were not in favor of running the Haskell ticket, will, now that the ticket is in the field, vote for it. These, in addition to the large num ber who are in favor of beating Till man at all hazards and a goodly number of men for whom Tillman has failed to provide places, will make up a great deal more than 5 or 10 per cent of the white voters of the State. It may be that the Cap- Lpn’* eyes will be somewhat opened an election day if they have have not already begun to see the light of the tidal wave that is sweeping the^State for Haskell. War Ties-Arc the Strongest. We heard on reliable authority the ether day that a Tillmanite at Doves- ville said he was going to vote for Haskell. He said that he had sup ported Tillman all along through the campaign, but now that Haskell was in the field he was going to vote for him as he had fonght in the war with him. This same war feeling has tremendous weight with many of the elder men in the State and they can not overcome it They will believe in the Farmers’ Movement and all that sort of thing, but war tics will he stronger and they will go to the polls and cash their ballots for A. O. Haskell, as noble and brave a man as the State ever produced. Tillman, en the other hand, pretends to de spise war records and points with pride to his record at Ellington. It is possible that he may, in the coarse of the next ten days, wish that he hud bod a war record along with a good many other qualities which would have enabled him to Iccomo Governor of South Carolina. Tillman’s adherents,Ahere is no man living- for^ yhom the people of South Car^ina cherifi as ; mnoh re spect and adnu ration’as tbby do for Wade Hampton; and he deserves all in this way that can possibly be given him. On almost every "battle field of Virginia he illustrated the valor and chivalry of South Carolina, and since the war has donejnore for the peace and prosperity of the State than any of her sons. It was the hope of many that after his outrageous treatment by Mr. Tillman’s half crazed follow ers, he would be silent for the rest of the campaign; and it is a matter of sincere regret that he has an nounced his determination to support Mr. Tillman, assuming thereby a position that is both unwise and untenable. He has, with a large number of onr most intelligent and most honorable citizens, fallen into the strange error that one may sup port Mr. Tillman and at the same time denounce the man and deny his slanders. A little reflection ought to show the fallacy of his position, for it may be safely asserted that whoever votes for him not only sus tains him bnt endorses his infamous charges. The homely truth, that a man is is judged by his acts and not By his belief, cannot be too often re peated and insisted upon at this juncture. Granting that Mr. Till man is the true nominee of the Dem ocratic party, even then he should not be supported unless it be that we must put party before principle and vote for a man that is utterly unworthy of the position to which he aspires. If Mr. Tillman’s charges against the leaders of the party in the State are true, then it is a party of corruption and should no longer have the support of those who think that there ought to be some honor and principle even in politics. , Mr. Tillman has done and is still doing more to furnish the Republi can party material for a crusade against the South than any other man in the country, and he could scarcely have done more in this way if he had set out with this deliberate purpose in view. If the the Repub licans havs a majority in the next Congress the Lodge bill M ill be pre sented and Mr. Tillman’s threats against the colored people will be cited as an argument in favor of the necessity for its passage. What will it avail for onr Senators and Repre sentatives to say that this is not the sentiment of our people toa-ard the negro, when they can be taunted with the fact that they voted for Mr. Tillman and if they really did not endorse his utterances they ought to have slioMn their opposition at the polls ? These are serious questions and well deserve the serious reflec tion of every good citizen, for it has certainly gone beyond the question of party and assumed one that must be settled by conscience. Mr. Tillman has seen fit to desig nate Judge Haskell and bis sup porters as rotton and corrupt, bnt they wont complain of this as it is bnt natural that he should judge the purity of other people’s motives by his own and it would be unreasona ble to expect him to credit another with the possession of something to n'hich he is an entire stranger. To M-hat a pass have wo come when our honored Senators ask us to vote for a man that they confess is a dema gogue and slanderer, and even the Nea-s and Courier, that is regarded by the outside M orld as the exponent of public opinion in South Carolina, after being smitten on one cheek must uceds meekly turn the other and ask Mr. Tillman to smite that also. It is well to remember that it is not the nation that declares n-ar that is responsible for the conflict, but the one that makes the declara tion necessary; and as Mr. Tillman, to gratify his personal ends, has tried to bring reproach upon our State, we have accepted the gage of battle and will struggle to the end for the purity and integrity of the Demo cratic party. Even if Mr. Tillman is elected he need not lay the flatter ing unction to his soul that he has broken the opposition. Under their chivalrous leader, Alexander C. Haskell, they Mill stand undismayed and unshaken, immovable as the rock of Gibralter, and as devoted to duty as the Roman sentinel who perished Amid the mins of Pompeii. They will continue the fight and never lay doMn their arms until they have driven Mr. Tillman into retirement and until there are none so poor as to do him reverence. Compare the two men, and see the contrast: Till man, the demagogue and slanderer, breathing words of venom and hate; Haskell, the patriot and Christian, pleading for peace and justice. The knightly soul of A. C. Haskell soars far above the foul and mnrky atmos phere in M'hich Tillman grovels, and when the present generation shall have passed away, when the dark clouds of discord and strife that now overshadow our horison shall be dis persed by the sunlight of truth, then the name of Haskell M ill be remem- liered with reverence and honor, while that of Tillman can only be re- ralled with the blnsh of shame.
