T!ie Ides of August are past j and the choice of the people lias, been expressed as to w hu >ital! be j their next officials. There will he! a second primary fur the benefit j of those candidates who failed to j get a majority of votes and we! hope to see all staunch Derr. jcrats i come cut and vote. Especially do' 1 * 1 we want to see the aspirants for j i en I t iv .. 4 4 ; onice Wflo were leu out owe t" j the front an?l redeem their pledge* ! by working for the nominees. The j momentary sting ol defeat shouid j be but an incentive to quicken their patriotism, ami instead of drawing apart ami sulking, it is the duty of true manhood to abide i>y the will of the people grace i'ullv and cheerfullv. To be a defeated candidate is by no moans a matter to be ashamed of. As Addison happily expresses it: I "'Tin not in mortal* to commaed success, But we'll <lo more. Semi?hr??nius, we'll deserve ?t This should bo the sentiment of every defeated candidate, and aside from doing what U plainly his duty, he thereby iargeiv increases his chances tor success should he ever aspire to office again. Some of the greatest and wisest men of America have been defeated candidates, notably, Webster, Olay, Calhoun and Greeley. In fact, we believe it safe to say ^ that more good men in politics e have been defeated than elected. ? This reflection should be an emollient ointment for the wounds of those who have striven unsuccessfully, and no one has cause to re l ir ...1... i ,u. I proauii xiimsuii \> uu ena-rcu niu race with just and honorable motives and came out of ?t with un sullied honor. The voters at this election have had excellent notorial from which to choose, and we have heard aj great many say that with so many good men in thefielu they scarcely fcnew whom to support. The primary election is purely a Democratic institution; it is a; family affair, anil the content for honors should be characterized j throughout by a spirit of inend- i liness. Let Democracy rise above personal feeling and ambition,and stand up to the nominees: ' SENATOR M'LAMR'.N'S CANDOP Senator McLaurin'.i enemies andj pseudc friends, eage r to seize upon j KAtnAlliinir t tint writ iiirur.? t>-irt are raising a great imwi about hrs j I recent utterances concerning : ' ^President McKinlev's popularity, j ^ 1 Taking their cue from a few news ; papers, some have even said thai i he has always been a Republican. The cause of this complaint i> hi s I -.IV1!si? that U<< j>fe-nl"'.t since Andrew Jnckson lias been a- po.?ui:>r with the mns<es a- .Mck ;:.cy is, and that if tlie election came ofi JM)\\ f;t* would be it: ?; \?ir of re nominating thei'resnienl oy acclamation.

The junior Senator simply had more candor than many who believe as lie does. Alir? ill > Ul lli\ iVI4.lv 1 ~ 1^nomination by acclamation Mas a reckless sound, but in \lie cirouui stances it is djareciy sarpiising. A much desired favor had just hot-r. granted. and the Senator has not become *? cool and calculating js to wtijrli h:> words al ways in a momentary burst 01 enthusiasm.; Hetiides. the condition upon which he wouM favor Mclvinlev was purely bv hypothetical, and two years; hence he won in not dream of such a thing. South Carolina has every reason to he pio'.iu wt' Senator Me Lauri'i. Mo representative ir: eon gre.--.- since the war has striven I' so fiiiccessiulIy,or wielded -o much itdlucnce in her behalf. Always on the alert lor his constituent.-*' interests, ho has ahiy represented h:s State and (he occasion of the remark that has -riven offense, was when he wasdoinghis utmost lor the good of this State. Too proud ot tho reputation of South Carolina to poo the Second Hcgiment go by default, he obtained many concessions for it. and its completion is duo almost wholly to his influence and efforts Senator AKLaurin has always been exceptionally frank in ex pressing his opinions, and flu* rare quality in a politician should be commended rather than condemned. We believe he is us staunch a Democrat as anv of his colleagues, and that, iu spite ot his frankness of speech, ho is as near as ever to the hearts of the masses of the people. RUSSIA'S STEP FORWARD.
