BSPAY, JAN. 13,'92. ^ ngs of the State Ex ecutive Committee. campaign of 1392 has opened ! ?ng bugle was sounded winch, to say Ihe least, was suggestive. vlt was dark, dreary and raif*?-^ Bfit,h\ the president's office of the Carolina National Bank, the Irby executive ? committee met and considered^ whether th? Demo crat8 who voted for Judge Haskell last year will be allowed to vote iu the coming primaries arranged for by the cynirmitt?e. ; It ended just like Senator Chai rm ali Irby said it would in a recent iuterview published in The State. The committee met at 8 o'clock and the following members were pres ent: A?>evife, A. W. Jones, 0 C. Jordar^inderaon, WV ? Neal; Barn? well, N. H. SfanseTl ; Berkeley, T. W. Stanland ; Charleston, D.

At the opening of the meeting things went Very quiet for a while, and there was no friction whatever, bat later there was no end to speech *8v agdjbe political feeling of a year ago>W?$lo?a certain degree displayed, without any show of bitterness. A Ftrange feature was that there were butanew -.of the heretofore rampant inenfchp had not a conciliatory spirit. Acts?nVw*s without great trouble? until the Sumter matters were con? sidered. - Then there were long and vigorous discussions and arguments The Sumter matter took a particular? ly long time to be settled, and left not much tnn? "for anything else. TffB SCilTER CONTEST. When the Sumter case was reached the -credentials of the contestants from the two fractions known respect? ively as the 8traightout8 and Tiliman ?etfL Paresen ted. Thomas representing the TiUmanites, and W. H. Ingram the 8traightout8. The contest came np on a motion to seat Mr Ingram, and this precipitated a very acrimonious debate/ led by Col. John 0. Haskell, on behalt* of Ingram, supported by Messrs Jones of Lancaster and Jor? dan ofcy^i&ei). The other aide, was reprinted 4>y Dr. Samson Pope ol dewberry and Mr. Waddle of Dar? lington. At this stage and before any vote was fciken. Gol. Haskell, acting for Mr. Ingham, presented the following resolutions, which bad been prepared by Mrriugraui, and urged their adop? tion AS a final and peaceful settlement of the Sumter trouble. Whereas two bodies claim to be the executive committee of the Dem? ocratic party for Sumter county, and it is important, that tirs matter of difference should be adjusted as soon as possible. "Kesoliied, That the State execu? tive committee recommend that that body or committee recognizing D E. Keels as its bead and as county chair? man of die Democratic party for Suni ter c<>*u<y, and that body or commit? tee oco^jizmg John S. Hughsoti as its-head, ?iri? as such county chair? man, each select one man, a Demo? cratic voter of Sumter comity, aud the. twrvoters so selected select a third v&ter -of the county, and that the three so appointed constitute commissioners of election for a pri jaaV^etection in said Sumter county', formas/-executive' committee for the Democratic party for the county ; that; said' .commissioners have full power to name three managers for every voting precinct in Sumter county, at each of which precincts there shall be one and only one box. That- elections be held on a day named after-:-days public notice, for an executive committee and that the persons receiving the highest number of rotes at such election shall t>ev declared by such commissioners of *ere?tf?n to be the Executive Com? mittee of the Democratic party for Somier county until another election is beld aud declared under the consti? tution of the Democratic party. Each of the said committees now claiming to be a regular body, may nominate a ticket of sixteen, one from each township, to be voted for at the election here in recommended. The executive committee so elected eh all chose one of their number chair man. ' The election so ordered shall be" under the requirements and re? strictions of the act of the Legislature ofibis State regulating primary eiec tions. * That the executive committee &o elected shall at once proceed to or? ganize the county Democracy by au? thorizing the oi gan iza ti on of two clubs and no more in each township in-said county. That after the clubs so, authorized are organized, then rolls of membership shall be sent in to the executive committee for europa rison with other rolls for revision and correction at least two weeks before th? meeting of any convention of the party in said county. ! That the roll, so revised, shall form the basis of representation in the con? vention! for. the clubs respectively in tho proportion required by ?>Tovis"on .?J me constitution of the Democratic party of the State. "That should thia suggestion be a: opt ed, the or "anizatim peifected through the melin.d herein suggested, shall be taken and'Somdderod by this commit tee *s the true and legal oigauization of the Democratic party for Sumter county and the present organization in ?aid county shall be dist amh'd *' On motion of den. J. Walter Gray tj*e whole matter of the Sumter con -'trst was referred to a committee of thrre, of which Gen. Gary wan made chai man. The committee after au hours' deliberation reported that they foo'id that prior to the meeting of the September conveutim there was no Democratic organization in Sumter comity and that thereupon Col. Lby had instructed P P. Gail lard, the funner county chairman, to [ proceed lo oigan'z? the county. This Mr Gaillard rt fused to do on the ground th?'! lu? v a-? no longer comity chapman, having been succeed jd bv Dr. John S. Hughson. Further t no effort having been made by w' is known as the Straightout fact to organize under Irby's order, I Tillmanites theu came together 8 ordered a primary of their faction pit aga i i is t the corresponding noi n?es of the other fraction previou nominated by a primary. This primary of the Tillmanites, the opinion of thc committee dei oped the fact that the Tillmanites t a majority cf the Democrats of l county and for this reason they r omraended that Mr. Thomas who r resented that faction should be se ed which was accordingly done. Those who voted against the rep of the committee were John C. ll kell, Ira B. Joues, Jordan, Fiudl and Sullivan. The debate was character throughout on the part of some of t Tillmanites by rank partisartiprejudit aud they laid great stress upon the fi that the Tillmani te primaries sho ed a larger vote than that of 1 Straightouts, but this apparent maj ity can be easily accounted for by t fact that the Straightouts held th? primary first aud the Tillmanites km just what they bad to overcon And this is proven by the significa fact that although their primary sho ed a poll of one thousand two hundr 'and six votes where there was opposition, yet in the general electi when the same officers were to voted for and there was the mc serious kind of opposition, and th< would naturally pol their votii strength, their highest candidate i ceived only six hundred andsevent one votes, or a little more than 50 p cent, of the primary vote. The official report given out by tl committee is as follows :* "The Sumter contest was referr* to the following committee. Messt Gray, Montgomery and Neal, wi reported ia favor of seating Mr. II. 1 Thomas a? the member of the ex cutive committee from Sumter, whit report was adopted." The official report of the speci committee is as follows : "We the special committee a pointed to investigate the Samt contest and resolutions offered I Mr Haskell in reference to same, ix leave respectfully to report : "That we have carefully, considere the same and said : "First, That up to the 10th of Sej tember, 1890, there was no legall organized Democracy in Sumt< county as decided by the Septembt convention. "Second, That said State convei tion recommended the [reorganizatic of the democracy in Sumter count under the new constitution by tli said September convention. "Third, That the Gaillard fectio took no steps to reorganize under tb new constitution. "Fourth, thal the Keels factio made an effort to carry out the recon rnendation of the State couventio which was ratified by the peop'e at Democratic primary. Therefore your committee recon mend the seating of Mr I!. ? Thomas, as the member of thc Stat Executive Committee from Sumte county. . . BITS OP SUMTER ARGUMENT. The argument on the Sumter eas was very interesting. One membe would tay "gentlemen you don* know what you are dealing willi You are treading on dangerou ground." Then Col. Haskell woul say, "yon have form pd a great gal which may never be bridged over." Ail along the argument was rapii and many spoke against the action One wanted the convention wheu i met in May to decide it. REORGANIZATION ARRANGED FOR. The following was furnished by tin secretary : "Mr. Haskell moved that tin chairman of the Democratic executive committee issue an immediate cal for the reoganization of the parly am for the May convention. Adopted.' "Mr. Willoughby introduced th< following resolution, which Wai adopted : "Resolved, That a committee o three be appointed by the chair, om of whom shall be the chairman of tin executive committee, to prepare rulei and regulations to govern thc'reor? ganization of the Democratic part} and to recommend rules of the pri mary elections to be submitted to tin county conventions for adoption.*' "Messrs. lt by, Jones and Pop? were appointed on this committee They will meet in a few days, very likely at Laurens, to take action. THE NEXT CONVENTION'S DELEGATES. Th is was also given : "Mr Haskell moved that the repre? sentation in the next Democratic con? vention be double the members of the General Assemby and that the rep resen fat ion based upon the House ol Representatives be upon the appor? tionment under the act of last Legis? lature." Adopted. THE ALL IMPORTANT QUESTION. When the Sumter matter was corn pleted, the all important question, that as to whether the men who voted for Judge Haskell would be allowed to vote or not, wa? taken up and, as expected, the fun here occurred. The following resolutions were at once offered by Mr. Jordan, they having been dictated by Senator Chairman Irby himself. Resolved, That it is the sense of this committee that all white Dem ocrat8 who shall present themselves for membership to any subordinate Democratic CIUDR, orjwho shall off-r t<> vote at any primary election to be held by the Demociatic party, shall first take the following oath, to wit : That he is a Democrat and will sup po t the nominees of the Democratic party nominated at said election. Resolved, further, That all candi? dates for any office in the Democratic primary elections shall pledge them? selves to abide the result of the Democratic primaries, candidates for State offices lo the State executive committee, candidates for county I offices to the county executive com? mittee, respectively. These?dui wot seem to go far enough however to suit the Senator chairman, and Speaker Ira B. Jones at his suggestion offered the follow? ing amendments : * Resolved, further, That it is the sense of this committee that in the interest of peaee and united Demo craey no Democrat shall be excluded from participation in said primary h*M-an.*e of difference duiiug the last State election.' Thc debate ou these resolutions aud ameudment was spicy and interest One member cried when opposition appeared, "Mr Chairman, in the name of God Almighty this won't do. This is the maddest move you have ever attempted. I have been with you all along, but I can't stand this thing I won't have it." it sounded like the vofce of Ban Sullivan, the Charleston f$llmanite leader. An? other T?llrrian?te member in speaking of the resolutions, said that they were dealing witli fellow citizens. They were working for the rule of the white people and if conciliation was not worked for it would be the sad? dest mistake of their lives, lie would not have anything to do with it, and be voiced the sentiment of his people. "Let us for God Almighty's sake," fie cried, ' come together. If we don't come together right now I tell you we are doomed " Still another said he believed ad? verse action was wrong, lie thought the white people should be kept together and thought the matter would be settled, satisfactorily settled -by the passage of the resolutions. They should go back and reorganize. And another said he thought that he had better "get out of there." He bated to do it, but he saw nothing else. Col Haskell in speaking on the resolutions without the amendment said that it was a serious question if any one had d plored more than he the action of his brother last year and be had done all he could to prevent it, but those who went out had done it conscientiously and it was a state of things none could prevent. It existed and concilation was a neces? sity. A Tillmauite member complained that there was no difference made in the resolutions between them >and those who had left them All were placed upon the same footing. An? other said that the entire resolutions breathed of a brotherly feeling. Lie hoped the actiou would be in ac? cord. Then there was another conciliato? ry speech, in which the statement was made that the committee was there to bring tho white people of South Carolina back together as they ought to be. Ile wanted them to come back, and would not oppose the re? solutions, NOT BEGGING TO COME BACK. y. Col. Haskell at this point made a strong speech. Ile said he was not opposed to the resolution bnt was strongly opposed to the amendment. Ile said that there were many who went away strongly belieMng they were right and had never changed their opinions. It looked like they were asking to be taken back-asking pat don for their wrong doing. They were accordingly not in a state of mind to comply with the demand of the amendment "It simply means when boiled down," he said, "that these men are not to be punished for their wrong-doings, if there were any such.7' More he said could be ac? complished by using them gently, lu conclusion he said, "It is the amendment only that I think un? wise. A Tillman man announced his disapproval, as it would carry away a large proportion of the white men and among them were many of his own relatives. Another one said in an excited man? ner, that if the Haskell men were brought back it would cause great trouble in his county. Chairman Irby 6aid he would han? dle that and assume the responsi? bility. "Will you and the com? mittee take it ali ?" he excitedly asked, and Col. Irby said : "I will assume all responsibility for waving the olive branch " Just here some one, the fur of whose coat seemed to be rubbed the wrong way, uttered this : "I warn you all that you are dealing with S re I ' This was very dramatic. The amendment was then adopted. An attempt to lay it on the table failed. The resolutions with the amendment were then put to a vote and adopted, one single "no" being echoed in solemn tones. The committee adjourned a short time before midnight, and the chair? man, Messrs Pope, Gray, Stansell, Jones, Caughman, Sitanlaud and two others repaired to au oyster supper, where they doubtless respond to the toast, "We are on top, boys, and will try to 6tay there." When Baby was sick, we gare her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria.
