WEDNESDAY ? NOV. 16,1892. Tbe Sumter Watchman was founded in 18 W and the .True Southron 1866 The Jatchmau and Southron new has tbe combined circulation and iuBueooe of both of the old papers, an? Is mani festiy the best advertising medium in Samten EDITORAI, NOTES. Hampton still holds the first plaee io S um ter's heart. A telegram of congratulation from the Game Cook City was sent to Presi dent-elect Cleveland. If Su niter's Cleveland Celebration was oot a success, notwithstanding the rato, wha? is the reason why. The city dailies between breaths While claim trig to have elected Cleveland are engaged in his cabinet. ;Dtd;Sumter go for Harrison ? We are sorry Senator Irby was not here Monday night so as to be able to reply ."Sumter will go for Harrison when Harrison*s grandson is a candidate for toe Presidency, as a Democrat, on a Democratic platform, oot other wise. - The rain on Monday night was oot \re hear, an unmitigated ouisanee, as it provided the desired excise for many to indulge in several smiles. If tne rain had net come to cool off Ine celebration enthusiasm there in no telling when Sumter would have left off celebrating'. It might have been extended into a gaU week. Since last Tuesday night Sumter has been bubbling over with enthusiasm We got rid of a small portion of it by tbe grandest and most successful celebration fceld within the State. * Hon. Jottn J. Hem phi , is tbe man fa this State, most likely to be appoint ed toa high position ander Cleveland, fits services aod abillity merit such re cognition The question now agitating the minds , -of the South Carolina office hunters- is, who will control the patronage of this -State? Tillman Irby & Co., or the leaders of the Conservative faction ? It 11 '?b an important question to them. 0 Tbe crowd of post onice candidates ?growB space. There are now said to be ?bout a baker s dosen' of candidates in . the field. So far there is one candidate for tbe first assistant's position, Emmett .Beardon? who efficiently fills it now. In the hurry of getting to press on last Wednesday one thing was neglect .ed. We desired to compliment Mr. "Gen. Hammel, manager of the Western ~T7nion telegraph onice, and his assist ^a?W?dr^tlSe excellent manner in which they handled the election returns. ' ~ bwirerCleveland will select a cabi . net that will do tbe work required. He .may not be .able. to appoint all the d?stwgwahed men who are suggested, ?or may bo be able to satisfy every " ho?y, yet we believe the cabinet will be composed of men selected for their personal worth and ability, aod not as the Harrison cabinet was. -Wffl-HU! be the next President? .-or is be doomed to the same rate as ~ James . G. B?aine, who occupied tbe same position in tne Republican Party that Hill does in the Democratic?its ahrewdest^politi?ian. Kolb of Alabama seems determined to ruake trouble, and Weaver is aiding him. Kolb persists in claiming that te. was elected Governor of tfce.t State - 'and says he will take the oath of office -and fight the matter in the courts. J Weaver goes to Alabama in a few days . to consult with Kolb. Kolb will oot ' gain the governorship/ bat will make no .end of trouble aod bitterness. The office hunters of all sections ere . bustlers, but tbe Georgia variety is the -hustler par excellence. Several days ago ODe specimen: presented bimself at the Treasury Department with recom mendations, from Speaker Crisp, and others, and made application for a posi tion. He was courteously received and told that his application would be put on file for consideration by the new admin istration. There is nothing like being soon. fc b al ai Ci Ci a ni bi s? P' ei ef hi ir. ol ai It is said that the celebration oo Monday night was governed by a partisan sprit. This is a falsehood of the most pronounced aod groundless type. A? a member of the committee, the writer knows .that all the invited . speakers senators Hampton, B itter Irby and Yaoce, Gov Tillmao,aod Generals , Yuomans and Kennedy, were selected by the anani tu ms voice of the whole -Committee. Gov. Tillman was written aod telegraphed invirations to couie, as was also Senator irby, and their failure to be present was their own decision. The invitations extended t) Governor Tillman and Senator Irby were the same as those extended to the other distinguished men invited. Gov. Till man and Senators Vance, Butler aod Irby did not accept, Gen. Hampton, Gen. Yoamans, and Gen. Kenoedy did, and Sumter was proud to bave them as her, guests. If the committee had not desired tbe presence of any ot e, we can assure our readers that ao j g invitation would have never been extended to bim. Tbe committee was local, non-partisan and responsible for its acts to the individual citizeos of the I 6 eity alone, and not to any political party or faction. The effort was to j entirely divest the occasion >: local g political significance, and to make it tbe j grandest affair ever held in Sumter. It li is conceded by all that Sumter surpassed fc all rivals and outdid her former efforts, . and everybody is satisfied except a fl few kick-rs , b a tc ir a G !S u a 8< it le t< D< U G o THE ELECTION. It is settled beyond a doubt that the Democrats will not only elect the Pres ident but will have a majority of about 60 in the House of Representatives, and wilt have 44 Senators to the Re publicans-39 and the People's Party 5, thus giving the Democrats the control by the vote of the Vice President, even were the People's Party Senators to vote with the Republicans, which is not likely, as they are pledged to tariff re form." - Until the official returns are in it will be impossible to tell what the Demo cratic majority in the Electoral College will be. It is estimated from 260 to 303 Roth parties claim Ohio and California, aod io these States the vote is so colse that an official canvass will be. neoess&ry to deolare the result. Geo. Moise is elected by a majority of about 300 aod his elee tie is doe io a great messore to the falling off of the negro vote io the lower portioo of the j State. Io criticising the people of Som ter County for their apathy, it was. not our intern ion to discredit those Demo cratic workers who staid at the polls from early to late, working for Demo cratic saetees. These meo deserve all the more praise for the work they .did. Bat we stick to oar original assertion that Summer County has cause to be ashamed of the result of the election. In previous years the county has giveo more than 1,000 majority to Elliott and she should' have done eveo better for her own son, Moise. The Manning Times and the Somter Herald have seeo St to cast an odiom pon the Conservatives of Sam tor County for not turning out to vote, aod ?veo go so far as to accuse them of vio lating their pledges. It should be re membered that there is ooiy about 90 difference io the strength of the two 'actions to this ooooty, and unless it cao >e proved to the contrary, the responsi >iuty rests equally upon both factions. \od the facts of the case as we gather rom information received, are that at oost boxes the Conservatives turned >ot better, worked harder, and cast Dore votes thaa t?e Tili ma nites did. It s useless to try to fasten the odium tpoo eitbe* faction?both are guilty of leglect. IOW SUMTES CELEBRATED. When it was defioitel j knowo that the emocracy had won the most wonderful olitical triumph of the century, it was a regone conclusion that Somter wenld cele ra te the victory, that meant so much to us II, io a manner worthy of her past record ad future prospects. The question was not shall we celebrate ?" bat **bow shall we lebrate so great an occasion in a fitting anner?" The demonstration of Monday tght answered the question. That the cele" ratioF was a success is acknowledged on all des, and the secret of the success is the lie-spirited unify of the people, the rim and ?ergy with which they enpported every fort of the committee, the determination to ire a celebration tbit would serre as a usern to tbe rest of the State ; and 6naily, t a great degree, to the patriotic enthusiasm tbe women. The women were appealed to cd tbe result show* that it was not in rain. The victory being national, it was deter lined that no factional feeling: engendered F State politics, should bare a place in the M eb rat io ; therefore the committee decided > invite the prominent men of the State, respective of their factional affiliations. A srnmittee was sent to Colombia to invite ren. Wade Hampton, Governor Tillman and enator Irby. Telegrams were sent to Sena >r Vance, of North Carolina, Senator Butler od Gen. Jobo D. Kennedy. Governor illman waf absent from tbe city and conld ot be seeo, bat was telegraphed to at Clem >n College, where be was attending a meet ?g of the tfoard of Trustees, and a letter ft to await his return to Colombia. He ?plied that he was too busy to accept. Sena ?rlrby wire-d that he would accept if sick en in bis family did not prevent. At the l?t moment be wired that he could not come, b reply was received from Senator Butler, en. Hampton, Gen. You mans and Gen. ennedy accepted and were present with us Monday aigbt. Tbe decoration of tbe stores began on Sat rday, but it was on .Monday morning that je stores and private residences were swathed bunting. By noon Main Street presented spectacle that amply repaid those w'm> came >t?S distances to be present. Every store ont from parapet to parement was profusely raped with the national colors, and bung ito flags and Chinese lanterns The Court buse and City Hall were handsomely and istefully decorated. Moanghan Block would ave been a credit to any city daring any ;te. From this block to Altamont Moses' [ore was stretched art immense Cleveland and te^enson banner, ornamented in the center 'ith Sumt?f's Game Cock, tbe identical one int cre*t;d such a sensation in Columbia uring the Centennial. Levi's and Belitzer ; Spann** was as gaily attired as their etgbbors. In fact, nil the stcus were so andeomely decorated that to mention one is 3 mention them nil. A "People's Choice*' ; Cler^Und and Stevenson'' banner extended lone at least T5 feet ot the Liberty Street ra'l of J. Rvtteiiberg 4 Sjn'sstjre. S'retch d between the. trees in front >>f the Court louse Sq/iare whs the most unique and env estir? of a!l the banners. Ii wm$ inscribed : ce later cotton, Cleveland did if, God !1*3S Him." From Schwartz Bro3. to O "Don nel ? w*s a ed, white and blue banner ten feet wide and 5 feel Ion/, inscribed, Cleveland and Stevenson and Moise. Besides the larjre banners already men ion d there were others too numerous to mention nd all bore appropriate mottoes. Tbe residences of the city on, and oiF, the ine of march were profusely decorated with uoticg, ?-tgs and lanterns. Tbe public pirit of oar people was here more prom- 1 nently displayed than in any other instance, ar numbers of houses on. tbe outlying streets rere as handsonvly dressed and illuminated as those passed by tbe parade. Hundreds of our own citizens iu addition to the visitors w-ho crowded tbe streets, spent tbe afternoon in driving and walking over the city inspect ing tbe gala attire. THE PARADE. The speakers, Sumter's honored guests, Generals Hampton, Youmans and Kennedy, arrived on the 7.30 train from Columbia, and they were met and welcomed by tbe reception committee, and several thousand enthusiastic Democrats, each one of whom was a wel coming 00remittee of one. As tbe train roiled up tc the depot the artil lery corps, consisting of Col. D. J. Auld, D. Rosendorf, E. T. Windham, W. W. D. Chandler, W. J. McKagen J. D. Wilder, J, M. Wingate and-Hair began firing the salute of thirteen guns in honor of Ex Governor Wade Hampton, around whom there crowded a wildly cheering throng of bis old soldiers and followers of '76 The guests were at once takea in waiting carriages to the Jervey Bouse where luo?.b was in readines |for them. While lunch was bring served tbe procession was formed and put in motion by Chief Marshall R. A. Brand and assistants. As the procession reached the Jervey House the carriages containing tbe speakers fell in line at tbe proper place and moved up Main Street. The houses from one end of tbe street to the other were abl?se with lights, and the yards with Chinese lanterns, and the streets brilliantly lighted up by barrels of burning rosin, red lights, sky rockets and roman candles. The residences of Messrs. B. R. Nash, J. J. Laughrey, Dr. A. J China, C T. Mascan, D. Rosendorf aod C. E. Stubbs, on account of their size attracted general attention. Liberty Street was as brilliant as Main. Tbe houses of Messrs. Neil O'Donnell, and Mitchell Levi, and St. Joseph's Academy were brilliant with lights from cellar te garret. The procession, viewed as it passed tbe cor ner of Main and Liberty Streets, presented an impressive and brilliant spectacle of pa triotic enthusiasm. First came the Bicycle Club, each man bearing a lantern aod each wheel decorated with flags and bunting. Then the Chief Mar shall and Staff, followed by a division of mounted men, three or four hundred strong. Then the Fonrth Regiment Band, preced ing tbe carriages containing tbe speakers. Tbe A. C L. R. R. and C. S. k N. R. R. depot forces, followed in a wagon literally covered with flags aud transparencies. One banner inscribed "Moise goes to Congress? Murray goes back to his Plow," attracted at tention of all. Those on foot followed, eight hundred to one thousand strong, carrying torches and transparencies. The following are a few sam ples of tue inscriptions on the transparen cies: "Money vs. Manhood ; Money Knocked Out." "Rainbow Chasing?Alabama, North Car olina, West Virginia, Delaware. No Rain bow Chasing this?Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana." "Trusts We Bust." "3 H's? Hill Hoodoed Harrison." "3 C'e?Cleveland, Congress and the Conn try." "Hurrah for Stevenson, he turns the rogues Out." ? The Game Cock Crows," "Cleveland, Stevenson and Moise." "Tbe Game Cock County Always Leads." "Grover, Grover, Four Years More of Grover !" ' Baby Ruth will now be rocked in the White Hoase Cradle, and led with pap from tbe White House Ladle." "The next President must be a Democrat. Tbe next President is a Democrat."?N. Y. World. "No English cheap labor."?N. Y. Her ald Two cartoons were especially g' ??i ; The Burial of the G. O. P.?A coffin with Har rity, Whitney and Croker officiating as grave diggers. The Tammany Tiger?"Tammany was loyal. Hurrah for Croker 1" Providence was in the procession in full force, beaded by Capt. Charley Williamson, Representative-elect. The banner was suita bly inscribed. "Providence will provide." And the record of the club at every election since 183C. Providence did-herself proud this time, fora fact. Bishop ville was represented by a strong contingent and the Guards in full uniform The Guards were taken in charge by the S L. f., and after the parade were entertain ed at the Armory, coffee, sandwiches and other refreshments being served. The Stateburg colored Democrats, who were denied tbe right to vote at tbe primary, were on hand fifty strong, and they marched in the procession beaded by their band, and rejoiced with other true Democrats over the election of Cleveland and Moise. It can be truly said that the celebration was an affair in which tbe whole county took part, for every section of the county was represented. This city merely led the movement, and the Democrats of tbe county did the rest. Our famous old citizen and pedestrian Capt. Robt. W. Andrews, who was 104 years old on tbe Fourth of last July, filled tbe con spicuous position of color-bearer and carried a large U. S. flag in the procession. Capt. Andrews has seen every President of the Uni ted States?including Washington?except two, and hopes to see Cleveland inaugurated. Capt. Andrews it will be remembered drove tbe carriage, four-in-band, with Gen. Hamp ton in tbe procession on Sumter's Campaign Day iu 1876. He had not met the General since then unt 1 now, and it was a pleasant re-union to both. Tbe Captain occupied a seat on tbe speaker's stand. The procession followed the route laid out : dowo Liberty Street as far as tbe C. S. k N. R. R. and back to Main and up Main to War ren, through Warren and Washiugtbon to Calboun. Capt. Delgsr's, A. S. Brown's, General and Maj. Moise's and Col. Marion Sanders' resi dences were all pictures of beauty, brilliantly lighted from 'op to bottom. The Sumter Institute presented an imposing appearance, all the windows being illumi nated and the extended piaxzas bright nitb lanterns. Proceed log down Calhoun, Church, and into Liberty, all houses hrightly light ed and gaily decorated, the Monumental Square was reached and the procession dis persed. The speakers were escorted to the Staad through an immense crowd that filled tbe square. Every seat reserved for the ladies was filled and many ladies who eould not obtain seats were standing. The meeting was ca led to order by Chairman Abe Ily ttenherg, and Dr. N. W. Edmunds offered a fervent prayer of thanks giving to God for the Messing of victory which had crowned our<lf>rts. Hon. Altamont Moses, amidst clamorous cries of Hampton, Hampton, Hampton, in troduced the old hero, as he who, in '76, bad led the movement that redeemed from misrule, disgrace and destruction the State j be ioved so well and had served so faithfully. Gen. Hampton advanced to the front of the j stand und was ?reeted with cheers so hearty, enthusiastic, and sincere, that hie memory WhS irrestibly carried back to the days of'76, as he ?nid in his speech later on. It had been raining slightly for some time, n*l Gen Hampton ^pokf; while bis audience stood ?o a cold, driving rain to hear him, heedless of the discomfort they suffered. The following condensed report of his speech is taken from tbe Slate of yesterday. Mr. J. Wilson Gibbs, who made tbe report, was sent over from Colombia for that especial purpose : "I had determined," said Gen. Hampton, "never again to speak in South Carolina, nor ; would 1 bave done so on this occasion if any question of State politics was involved ; but when the true men of the Democracy all over tbe United States are celebrating this great > and important victory which has crowned at I last the Democracatic party, I could not resist ! the invitation of a town which merits what Burns said : "No town surpasses for honest men and bonnie lasses." I regret that so many of the latter were driven away by the inclement weather, unless they have chosen to stay here and be "reigning bells." Yon do well to celebraie the victory we have just achieved. That victory means to this coun try peace, prosperity and happiness. The workingman will not bave his hard-earned gains taken away to enrich the plutocrats of the North, and every man can rest in peace under bis own vine and fig tree. But in South Carolina that victory means more. It means tbe rescue of the United States from worse than death, for I tell you bad the Republican party achieved the victory you would not have been (pointing to a traos I parency just in front of bim) invited to tbe i funeral of tbe Force bill, but you would have been the victims of it." [Applause ] On account of the fierceness of the storm, t Gen. Hampton said be would stop, but the crowd wanted more, and he continued : "I want to tell you that this night has waked in my heart the memories of '76, and I think you that I have the opportunity of fac ing a Sooth Carolina audience?one which would at least give me a respectful bearing. I had never failed to get that in South Caro lina, and I did not believe, until recently, that any of the men in South Carolina, with whom I had stood shoulder to shoulder in battle, and who wore the red shirt with me, would have howled me down and not listened when I appealed for the peace and unity of Sonth Carolina. [Thunderous applause.] "My life's work is done?how it has been done is not for meto say. I came only to say to you, that in all the positions to which the State has called me, in every one I have bad but one guiding star: to hold tbe dignity, promote the prosperity and work with heart, soul and arm for the glory of South Caro lina." [Great applause ] Gen. Hampton said that when he died, if his heart could be examined, the word "South Carolina" would be found there in letters of blood. ("Great applause.J What ever might be in store for her, he implored the richest blessings of God on the State. God bless her for ever ! He trusted that the people would stand shoulder to shoulder for the glory, interest and welfare of tbe State. 1 Though the people bave honored me with various positions, I necer was a candidate, oor I never asked a .nan to vote for me." fGre.it applaufe.J Voice: "Let me lock in your face once more.'* "I ask from South Carolina but one thing. In tbe words of tbe old prelate, an old man, broken with tbe storms of State, is come to lay his weary bones among you. Give him a little earth, for charity."' A perfect hurricane of applause greeted the concluding sentence, and the vast crowd cheered tbe old warrior again and again. The driving rain cut short Gen. Hampton's speech and rendered it impossible to take a full report of it. This is greatly to be regret ted, as tbe writer regards it as one of the truest, siocerest, most unselfishly patriotic, and at the same time most pathetic speeches be has ever listened to. If Sumter had never done one thing to be proud of she could now ever after look back with pride to Monday night, for then by her treatment of Hampton, grateful memories of the stirring but happy days of '76 were renewed in his heart. Sum ter is proud to know that she was able to make Wade Hampton feel that the Game Cock County is as loyal to bim and the true Demo cracy as she was in 1876-78. At tbe conclusion of Gen. Hampton's speech, the most of the ladies and numbers of tbe men left on account of pouring rain ; but Col. R. D Lee introduced Gen. Leroy Youmane to a still large crowd as tbe man who filled the office of District Attorney with distinguished ability duriug the four years of Cleveland's administration, and went out of office at the end of the term, solely because he was not one of those w!:c "bend the preg nant hinges of the knee that thrift may fol low fawning," and Said that the new reform so happily begun by the glorious Democratic victory aod the election of Cleveland and Stevenson, woutd not be complete until Youmane agaio filled the office of District Attorney. Gen. Youmans spoke for a half hour in bis most eloquent manner, in the midst a down poor of rain that bad rapidly increased to a storm It. was remarkable to witness how be ?c?d bis audience under such un favorable conditions, and that he did so was a tribute, both to bis oratorical facination and the undampable enthusiasm of a Sumter celebration crowd. At the conclusion of his speech tbe meeting was adjourned. It was a cause of generai regret that the storm cut short the speeches, and'especially that it prevented Gen. Kennedy speaking at all. But we had Hampton and beard him speak once more, and Sumter is satisfied. Gen. Hampton, Gen. Youmans and Gen. Kennedy were the guests of Mr. J. E. Jervey, of the Jervey House, and they spent the night under bis hospitable care. Tbey were escorted to the depot next morning and seen safely on board the train for Columbia. Before leaving Gen. Hampton expressed himself to several of bis old frieeds as being highly pleased with Sumter, the celebration aod tbe reception given him by tbe people of the county.
