K. S. MrlVER, Editor. ” I’aratiot Columns. Tho Senatorial Muddle. It would lie well for Mr. Tillman’s reputation, if he has any in a polit ical sense, if his friends could devise some way to prevent him from either writing or speaking during his in- Wednesday, December 3, 1890. cumbency, for everything that he says furnishes additional proof of the contempt that all decent men ! should feel for his character. His article, published in the News and Courier, concerning the senatorial election is without donbt, taking all (lie circumstances into consideration, the most contemptible thing that he has ever written, and if it does not open the eyes of his deluded follow- : ers to the true character of the man, . , . then they are intentionally blind and Robert P. Porter, Superintendent: J 1 merit no more consideration than he himself receives. It is a sad and disgraceful condition of affairs when the Bayard of South Carolina, who has shed undying lustre on the name of his State, and whose name is hon ored and revered throughout the MARCO A LEWENTHAL, WOODS & WOODS GIANTS AND .

Missed Its Mark. The proclamation by the Charles ton M’orld in double leaded editorial that M'adeHampton would not here- elected by this Legislature, it mat tered not whether lie had acted pa triotically or not during the recent campaign&c., didn’t meet with theap- probation of the Tillman members of the Legislature. On the contrary the assumption and arrogance dis played in the editorial served rather to disgust the men whom it was in tended to please, and instead of hurt ing Hampton’s chances it had more the effect of strengthening him for the encounter. Everybody knows that the World has no special policy except opposition to the News and Courier, and whatever it says conse quently has very little weight with most people. ever known. We Think He Did. The Greenville News says: “A correspondent of Spartanburg asks us to decide a bet made there just before the election that the editor of the Greenville News would not vote for Tillman. The editor of the Greenville News did not vote for Tillman. He voted the straight Democratic ticket from top to bot tom, as he always has done since he has been a voter and hopes to do al ways. The ticket, wb have been in formed, had on it the name of B. R. Tillman for Governor. That, how ever, was not the fault of that par ticular voter and was not important, by coni pari son with the principle and precedent involved. It was merely an incident of a process.” What Mr. Crisp Says. Hon. Charles F. Crisp was inter viewed at Americas, Ga., a few days to M’ashiugton matter stands. and sees how the i lie attributes the!
