The .fatchman and Southron now has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is mani festly the best advertising medium in Samter. Jno. T. Green, Esq., is the author ized soliciting and collecting agent for this paper. He wfti^take new sub scriptions, collect bills due and receipt for same. EDITOBAL NOTES. Senator Quay has the vertigo and ? says he don't koow anything about politics and can't prophesy whether Harrison will be elected or not. Montana is claimed for Cleveland. A poll of the State shows a Democratic majority of 7000. We hope this majority will materialize on election day. The Homestead workingmen are com ing over to the Democratic party in a body, it is said. There were three thousand of them in a democratic torchlight proeessien on the night of the 224. A young farmer of this conoty informs us that he cleared $20 per acre on his crop of pea-vine bay last year. This compares favorably with cotton, even at better prices than it is now bringing. If yon are sot a subscriber to the Watchman and Southron, now h the time to send in your subscription. If you are a subscriber, recommend it to your friends. It contains more reading matter than any other paper published in this section of the State. The News and Courier denies the charge of Gov. Tillman that certain Charleston financiers are in league with the New Yorkers who are agitating the fraudulent bend matter. It conclusive ly proves that no telegram was sent to the Associated Press from Charleston, as asserted, and in oar opinion refutes the whole charge. There is money for the farmers of Sum ter County in raising horses and moles to 8opply the local demand, if they will produce on the farm all the grain and forage needed, and have a few acres of good land sodded in Bermuda grass for a pasture. We bave c inspected a number of stock farms in other States and are confident that j Sooth Carolina farmers will find the j raising of a few colts each year profit- ; able. I Alfred B. Sheppersoo, the cotton expert, in a letter to the Angus ta j ' Chronicle of the 23d instant says : j 4*The present indications ^are that by the 1st of November the quantity of the crop brought into sight will probably be one million bales less than for the cor? responding time last year." This means an advance in the price of cotton at once, with a farther advance after November 1st, if the crop proves to be as short as predicted. Mrs. Harrison, the wife of President Harrison, died at the White Rouse on the night of Monday, the 24th instant. Her death was expected as she was in the last stage of consomption and bad been gradoally^sinking for more than a week. She is the second President's wife to die in the White House. Pres ident Harrison has the sympathies of the entire American people, who koow no politics when one whom they have honored by high position is so griev ously afflicted. Treasurer Bates admits that he has said that some provision for the pay ment of the non-faodable bonds should have been made. He was the first and only person to agitate the matter dur ing the campaign, at which time be attempted to attach odium to Sheppard and others who were members of the Legislature in 1879-80, wheo the Republican repudiation of 1873 was sanctioned. It is in order for Gov. Tillman to charge Treasurer Bates with being in league with the bond conspira tors. Dr. Chaoneey, Depew is not the winning card on the Republican list of ?v paign attractions that it waa thought ht wouid be. He has made the Irish mad by a gratuitous insult, having geoe oot of the way to sneer at the race ; aod now the Socialists, heretofore staunch Republicans, have passed reso lutions denouncing him fer "wilfully misrepresenting socialism. " D-epew is too fluent aod the g. o. p. managers may not find it out until too late to muzzle him. Oae sentence in BJaine's article in the North American Recitio is pecu liariy applicable to the Democratic party, so-called, of this Slate. He says: "It would surprise Jefferson if he could once more appear iu the fiesh to j learn that he is held as the endorser of all the principles advocated by the Dem ocratic party of today n The South Carolina Democracy, it will be remem bered is Democratic in name, Third Party iu platform, re iterates its alle giance to the principles enunciated by Jefferson," and has to swear its Presi dential electors to vote for the Demo cratic nominees before they cao be trusted. Did Biaine bave us in bis miod'8 eye when writing ihat sentence ? Biaine has written an article on the : political situation for the North Amcri- \ can Redete. He praises Harrison's j letter of acceptance as being perhaps the clearest aud most exhaustive pre- i seotation of the issues involved in the csmnaign vet made. Cleveland's let ter is severely criticised, lln charges Cleveland with departing from the plat form of the party and says that "Cleve land has made the platform upon which he is now before the people." The let ter makes the most of the situation for the Republican party. Reciprocity is magnified and great things claimed for it, and greater things predicted for the Tutore. The Force Bill issue is declared to be inconsistent with the spirit of Harrison's letter. Tht9 letter is prob ably the only contribution that Blaine will make to the campaign and be has canvassed the whole field in it. He af fords a striking example of party fealty in the face of bxfter disappointment and ongratified ambition. The Democratic leaders of Virginia say that that State is not in the doubtful column as claimed by New York calcu lators, but will go for Cleveland and Stevenson by a safe majority. The democratic are united, while the Republicans are quarreling among themselves. A remarkable game of base ball was played to Boston on the 18th and 19th instants. It was between the Boston and Cleveland, Ohio, clubs for the Championship of the World. On the 18th eleven innings were played and the game called oo account of darkness with oo runs to the credit of either olub. Ob the 19ih nine more innings were pUyed with the result of 3 runs to the credit of Boston and 2 to the credit of Cleveland. Boston made 9 base hits and 2 errors ; Cleveland 8 base hits and oo errors. A MORAL, KOT A PARTY QUES TION. Rev. George Raiosford, of St. George Episcopal Church, N?w York, has taken the stump for Cleveland and Stevenson. He declars that it, has now reached the point where it is mere- < ly a questioo of morals which ticket a mao votes. The principles of the Dem ocratic party he believes to be founded on justice and right, and that uoder the Democratic party the affairs of the government will be administered io the interests of the whole people. The laboring people will theo have the same chance tr better their condition that they .did before the Republican party fastened its coils around the govern ment, and destroyed the general pros perity of the people by the enactment of unjust laws, that favored the rich manufacturers and oppressed the poor and consumers. The Republican tariff laws are the most heinous examples of legislative injustice and disregard of the rights of the mass of the people that modern) his- < tory afford. These laws were enacted for the sole and plainly evident purpose of benefitring the manufacturers, a certain favored class, residing prin cipally iu the North, at the expense of the many, the consumers. The few who are made rich by the working of these laws, naturally make every effort to prevent their repeal, and - consequently they adhere to the Republican party. Dr. Rainsford shows ' how the tariff makes the issue a question of morals by reason of the venal practices 1 of those who are benefitted by its opera- ** tions. He sums up the whole matter as 1 follows. c "A tariff to fo>ter special industries is wrong and it needs the large fortunes c which furnish funds that can be used in t bribery to con tin oe its existence. There , are thousands of honest Republicans, but there are thousand of immigrants ignorant of any suffrage, and alas, many' venal Americans, and large campaign * funds furnish temptation to bribe, t which is immoral, aod I, as a clergy- ? man, most protest agaiost aoy system that can be built upon corruption funds.v 1 It is unusual for ao Episcopal clergy- 1 mao to, take aoy active part io politics, ' but Dr. Rainsford is notod for his free * aod independent habits of thought, as \ well as for learning and sound judg- c ment. When he arrived at the conclu- } sioo that the issue between the parties 1 was one that would morally degrade or J elevate the citzeas of the United States. ' it was natural for him to espouse the cause of the party he conceived to be in c the right. TL . it should be with us c all. It is not a party name that is doe ' our allegiance. It is not a party name 6 for which good citizens work. It is not ( for mere party success that they labor with all the talents they possess. But 1 it is the principles embodied ia and personified by that party. When a 1 party ceases to uphold those principles of right and equity that conserve the general good, that party no longer deserves the support of the intelligent aud honest voters. The Republican party baa ever been a sectional one aod now it has become the embodiment of political dishonesty aud injustice. It was conceived aud brought forth in enmity to the South, and its foremost aim has always been the op pression of the South. To this it has now added the oppression of all the laboring i and consuming casses, by means of the tariff for the direct benefit of the manu- 1 facturers. Aud, as Dr. Rainsford has ! said, those who have been enabled to i build up Urge fortuues by the tariff, 1 repay the Republican p-irty by furnishing a bribery fuod to continue it iu oower ( by the purchase of veual votes. In contrast to the Republican party stands the Democracy, which from its foundation, abtrugt contemporary with the foundation of the government ?itself, based upon the fundamental principles of Democracy?has known no section and do class. It is the party ' of justice and eq lity It. would have I all men equal! under the Uw It. would ' not take from one, by form of law, and give to another. It would not, however, Z , . .Ii nave the government f?t-?*ja nt loco > parent is to those engaged in one of the j ' productive industries, while denying j the paren-a! bon- fr- to all other?, as * would !? so-c*n?d p-eplA parry. : Id brief, the very essence of Democ racy is justice, and it is dependent for success upon the popular intelligence of the voters, which enables them to recognize the truth that exact justice carries with it more wide-spread and lasting benefits than they can hope for from any special favors. Consequently the Democracy is the true party of the people inasmuch as it guarantees Just laws, opposes oppression by tariff aod other legislation and encourages mor ality. Dr. Rainsford bas stated a trntb that all honest voters should pon der : To vote with the Democracy is to place oneself on the side of public and political morality ; to vote against it is to ally oneself with those who are unscrupu lously using the most powerful meaos to degrade and debauch the voters of the country. THB RESULT ON PAPER. The election is but fourteen days distant and the result predicted by those best informed is of interest. The campaign so far has been unusually quiet and apathetic. There is an almost entire absence of bitterness and personal antagonism, and the fight is being made on the platforms of prin ciples subscribed to by the two parties. The New York Herald, of a recent date, states that great uncertainty exists at both headquarters, aod that the managers of neither party are cer tain of their ground. In the same issue are published interviews with prominent members of both committees. The Democratic member gives an estimate that may be regarded as conservative, inasmuch as it claims only those States that are certainty, or probably. Democratic. It gives the entire South, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Wisconsin and and five electors from Michigan to the Democratic party z.nd leaves Indiana and Idaho doubtful. Colorado, Kansas Nebraska, and Nevada are conceded to the third party. The result would give the election to Cleveland with five votes to spare. Reducing it to a table of States you have the democratic expectation at a glance :? Alabama 11 Missouri 17 Arkansas S <sw Jersey 10 Connecticut 6 New York 36 Delaware 3 North Carolina 11 Florid* 3 South Carolina 9 Georgia 13 Tenoesseee 12 Kentucky 13 Texas 15 Louisiana 8 Virginia 12 Maryland 8 West Virginia 6 Michigan 5 Wisconsin 12 Mississippi 9 ? Total 228 The following table shows what would be left to Harrison : California 9 New Hampshire 4 Illinois 24 North Dakota 3 Iowa 13 South Dakota 4 Maine 6 Oregon 4 Massachusetts 15 Pennsylvania 32 Michigan 9 Rhode Island 4 Minnesota 9 Vermont 4 Montana 3 Washington 4 Total 145 If the Democrats carry Indiana aod [dado they can afford to do without Wisconsin and New Jersey, and still lave five votes to spare. The Herald says that there is not nuch possibility of the Republican vote ailing so low, as the People's Partv will probably not carry the States con ?ded to it. The Republican manager interviewed, ilaimed everything, and if bis calcula ion is accepted Cleveland had better raste no more time thinking about his in lugnral address. He claimed New York, ftrgiuia, West Virginnia and Connec tent as certain for Harrison. A num ber of Southern States, not named, are ilaimed to be doubtful. All the North rest, including Wisconsin and nine 'ores from Michigan are credited to larrisou ; also Kansas and Nebraska, Colorado aud Nevada are put down as jossibly doubtful. Indiana is put lowo as doubtful, but the "prominent Republican" giving the data says that t is certain to be carried by Harrison. Ch us the Republicans figure themselves rinners with forty-three votes to spare. They could win without Indiana, and in a pinch without New York. They :ould afford to lose New York, New Jersey, Indiana and Connecticut, and itill win. If they gained all the oth ers, they could afford to lose Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska, and West Virgi ns. This shows what the Republicans ;laim : California 9 New York 36 Connecticut 6 North Dakota 3 Illinois 24 Oregon 4 Iowa 13 Ohio 23 Idaho 3 Pennsylvania 32 Kansas 10 Rhode Island 4 Maine 6 South Dakota 4 Massachusetts 15 Vermont 4 Michigan 9 Virginia 12 Minnesota 9 Washington 4 Montana 3 West Virginia 6 Nebraska 8 Wisconsin 12 New Hampshire 4 Wyoming 3 Total 266 The Herald says : " An impartial observer will say that the republican claim is entire!y too high At the tame time the republican calculator is very Trank in abandoning the State of New Jersey ind tearing Indiana out of his calculation. He is prohad y ton sanguine in mnking a positive claim for all the new Northwestern States and for Kansas and Nebraska Astdp :rora that the estimate is as fair as is possible to obtain from a partisan Source at this doubl ai petiod of the campaign. The republican claim would leave the dem ocrats these States : Alabama 11 Mississippi L> Arkansas S Michigan 5 Delaware 3 Missouri 17 Florida 4 New Jersey 10 Georgia 13 North Carolina 11 Kentucky 13 South Carolina 'j Louisiana 8 Tennessee \2 Man laud 8 Texas 15 Total 156 "It \i ctmflv interesting as showing that hrough republican glasses; the democrats rill Im* compelled to make a most desperate iibt for sixty-seven electoral votes, for that * just h )w far the republican estimate puis hem from victory. It the people's party does half whnt its eaders expect neither parly will g?*l a majori ty of the Electoral College And the election vil! be thrown into the House of Represeuta ires. That would mean Cleveland. If Cleveland ar;d Harrison should run :tosely together the carrying of one State by . ? . ilists Mi throw * flection into the THE THIRD PARTY. Mr. Bowden has announced his t. p. electoral ticket, which, together with the t. p. address to the voters of South Carolina, is given in another column. The address is well written and gives evidence of careful and painstaking effort over iis composition. It maybe that the long delay in putting forth the electoral ticket was due to the t. p. committee's inability to satisfactorily polish off the periods and smooth out the rhetorical wrinkles in the address. At last they succeeded and turned out a very pretty bit of composition. This is about all they have succeeded in do ing, for the t. p. seems to be slow in taking a form unto itself. And it should be, if the white men iu South Carolina yet retain a regard for their oaths. They went to the polls on August 30th and pledged themselves to support the Democratic nominees of the State Convention, and if they vote for Mr. Bowden's electors at the Gen eral Election they will be guilty of perjury. This paper has not the slightest ob jection to Mr. Bowden organizing a third party or to any one else doing likewise. It is merely a question of individual opinion. If Mr. Bowden believes the third party the right one, well and good. If any one thinks the principles of the third party correct, all right. But what we do object to is. a man who claims to be a Democrat at the Democratic primary, and voting as one, pledges himself to support the nomi nees, and theo at the General Election votes the ticket of another party. Such a man is not honest, and the man who advises others that tbey are not bound by the primary pledge is an example of political dishonesty. Mr. Bowden is at liberty to go into the third party, the Republican party, or any other party, and vote for its electoral tioket, as be refused to vote at the primary and take the pledge ; but the man who voted and took the pledge is not free to do so, for be voluntarily pledged his faith to the Democratic party. If we must have a third party let us bave it distinct and separate from the Democracy. We don't care to have any third party ramifications of the Democratic party ; nor do we wish to have men in the Democratic party who are only so as far as State politics are concerned and who vote against our Dational ticket. THOSE FRAUDULENT BONDS. Gov. Tillman is right when he says that the State cannot be forced to re cognize the repudiated fraudulent bonds owned by interested capitalists, and will never do it, no matter what the cost may be. In this position he will find him self unanimously supported by the tax payers of the State. Those bonds were fraudulently issued by the gang of free booters, foisted upon the State by Fed eral power and kept there by the same means. The native white South Caro linians, the taxpayers of the State, had no voice in the matter, and made no promise, either direct or implied.to meet the obligations contracted by this alien white and native negro State govern ment. The bonds being fraudulent to start with, repudiation was but an act of justice to those up<>a whom the bur den of payment would have fallen ; therefore an attempt to force the State, at this late day, to recognise those bonds and make provision for their pay ment is both foolish and useless South Carolina can and must pay all her honest debts, but those bonds will not be paid so long as the white taxpay ers rule the State. W ATCHOUT. "A combination has been formed between a wing of the Conservatives and a few third part rites, asoit of Puritan Blackleg coalition, to defeat all of Governor Tillman'* measures of reform, to put him in the soup aod in tho suds on all occasions?to harass and defeat the management of the C'eniso?? College and Industrial School, and to manipulate and control the coming Legislature in the inter est of a deadly hate to Gov. Tillman and all he advocates."?Edgefield Advertiser. It strikes the writer as rather peculiar that a Tillmanite paper of such tried aud unthinking constancy should be warning the dear people against Third Partyites, who were cheek by jowl with the Tillroanites during the recent campaign, and who supported Tillman and his lientenants with such monotonous persistency. This warning is as peculiar as the state ment that the conservatives will form a coalition with Third Partyites. The Advertiser must make credible state ments if it wishes to find believers.

Wikk, in the 68th year of bis age. It is fit and proper that something more than this brief announcement, should be written of the life that has just closed on earth. It is due to him who for so many years strove faithfully to discharge bis every d?fy, and so to live as to be able to give a good account of his stewardship, and to re turn with increase the talents committed to bis care. It is due to those who succeed him "in the world's broad field*' of struggle, that a proper record should be made of a life steadily growing and advancing amid the privation* and difficulties attending its com mencement and overcoming all obstacles, developing into the round being which should stand as a monument to inspire to high en deavor and noble aims. "No life can he pure in its porpose and strong in its strife, And all life not be purer and stronger there by." Born tiear Bishopville, in Sumter County on the 17th day of January, 1825,be became aware even in boyhood, that the care of a widowed mother would devolve on him, and that he must be the architect of bis own fortunes. While yet a youth, he came to Sumter, and commenced that life of earnest, patient labor which culminated iu a good measure of worldly prosperity, and the esteem, confidence and love of the entire community. In 1848 be was married to Miss Caroline Elizabeth Britton, an onion destined to last for nearly fifty years, full of mutual love and confidence, and blessed with several children, only one of whom survives in the person of a son whose position in life is a living memorial of faithful training on the part of parents fully alive to their solemn responsibilities. In the family circle he was the affectionate husband la boring with chivalrous devotion for the comfort and happiness of her whose all had been com mitted to his keeping?the kind and judicious father, seeking by pleasant companionship to influence *br good rather than by dignified re serve to raise a barrier between parent and child ; the generous friend and kinsman, ever ready to lend material aid to all who came within the circle of bis influence, and few have passed away in this community, who have lett so many grateful hearts to rise up and call him blessed In the Church of which he was for nearly half a century, an earnest and devoted mem ber, he bas left a void that will be felt by his associates until they shall have passed on to re-unite with bim in worship in that temple "whose congregation ue'er break up, and sabbaths have no end." In the business world of which he was so long an honored and active member, he will be remembered while this generation lives, as a mac honest, guiltless and without reproach. Prevented by physical infirmity from tak ing an active part in the field during the ter rible war that desolated our Southern land, his efforts towards the support and comfort of those who filled the ranks of our armies, were constant and unremitting. And when after that fearful struggle had ended, aod the supreme effort was made in 1876, to recover the S'.a'e from the yet darker and deeper ruin that had settled upon her?no man in all our land felt deeper interest in the issue, or gave more freely and ungrudgingly of time, labor and substance to accomplish our pol:'ical re demption.. Earnestly, heriocally he labored, yet with so little of ostentation or outward show, that few even of his immediate asso ciates were aware of the extent of his sacri fices. With him has passed away one of the fen remaining links that connect the present generation with the early days of our city. May bis example and memory inspire the young men just entering on active life to take up the mantle of his virtues, and strive like him to leave a spotless record of lives well spent in the service of their country and their God.
