Wk believe that the farmers who were
in the March Convention made a mistake
in coupling their demands for legislation
with the candidacv of an indif-~;
v *
vidual. On several of the planks of
' 0 that platform a very large number of
persons can stand, and would be
willing to stand. But it is an entirely
different thing to say "you cannot
advocate our measures without advo
eating our man, nor our man wimoui
our measures." Leaving out the individuality
of their candidate, we may
say that the nomination of any other
man would have beet? obnoxious to
the same objection. Four years ago,
for instance, Hon. John C. Shepperd j
was tne candidate of the leaders of
the present movement. Yet persons
who agreed with, their principles
might not have thought Mr. Shepperd
their best embodiment. Two years
ago Hon. Joseph II. Earle wa? run in
spite of liis declination. Yet lie might
not have been satisfactory to the
fanners. So at the preseut time she
Hon. "VV. A. Courtenar while posessing
the attributes requisite for a most
' ' * >
admirable puonc omciai was p?uiuv
not the choice of the farmers -who
met in Columbia. Yet he might be
the choice of manr who did not attend.
It is therefore perfectly proper for
those who sympathize with the platform
of the March Convention to seek
to secure their ends by selecting some
other person as their standard hearer
just as others may desire to support
the candidate while not accepting the
platform.
It must be remembered that the
candidate and the platform are de
clared to be both simple suggestions
that bind no one. Those who indivitftially
desire the success of both
should support them. Those who do
not prefer either one, need not feel
called upon to yield a support to
either.

Mr. Dibble "Withdrew*.

It will bp generally regretted that
duties to hi* family require Mr. Dibble
to withdraw from Congress at the ex'
*r?
piratiot: of hi< present term ot office.
That he ha* discharged his public
duties watufactoritv 1* borne out by
the repeated compliment* paid him by
his c*U4iitnsn;?j, having been elected
by ttie Fir?t District five successive
times, He will retire, therefore,
contciouH ef having the respect of,
those who have honored him so often
and with the a*?ured confidence, on the
part ?f the people, that he lays aside
bis robes of public office unspoiled.

organized free from dogma, to r membership
of 140,000 in three yearf, it
proof that the human heart has progressed
far enough to move along a

the narrow line* of creed or dogma. ;
I
Creed* and dogmas are responsible for .
more bigotry and suffering than anything
else the world has ever known,
but now the closing years of the nine- i
teenth century witness a reconstruc
tion of ideas both religious aud philo- .
sophical. It was uatural to expect an
ffort to be made to circumscribe the
King's Daughters by some of the old
creeds or doctrincs, and the sisterhood

Pi. boen done by them, are to be con?ratulated
that the attempt has failed.

and sound judgment, will recede cut, ;
of sight, and true Democrats will ;
point to the times when the part) had
but little strength, and wa? lead out
of the gulf of dispair by the invincible
Congressman from Pennsylvania.
It is a truth that faults in man's ]
character ?ften do good. Mr. Ran
da.ll was fixed in hi* convictions to :i
f&tilt; when his judgment on a question
was once settled i:i his own mind he
was immovable, and this fault, for .
indeed in ?ne sense 'tis a fauil, conjoined
with hi# fixed purpose of executing
what he advocated tna.dc him a
most formidable adversary and a ^
natnral leader of men. With his :
brilliancy of miud, his mastery of de- '
tails, his decided purpose, he was indeed
the man to add strength to weak
1
nno thincr that non
JL V 4 V**v ... ,
tributed more than anything el*e to
make Mr. Randall a most useful man
in the Ht?use was the great confidence
placed in him br his constituents
shown by keeping hiui in office so
long. He wa? a very quiet tat mber
during his first term, and spent a great
deal of time studying his new surrounding*,
and t lis stndy afterwards
uiaue him jl, moit powerful reformer.
We cannot go into a history of his
life, for that requires a review of the
work of Congress (hiring his long continued
period of active service. His
was a remarkable career, and he leaves
much for generations to come lor
which to be thankful.
C?t?nel Xloyt TalksThe
platform of the March Convention
bears upon several points that
come within the province of th? State
Democratic Executive Committee, and
the public has watched with interest
what the committee will do about it.
Col. Ja?. A. Hoyt has been interviewed
bv reporters for the Xetcs and Courier
and the Greenville Xetcs, and some
of the demands, he says, are impracticable.
for instance, the clause relating \
to the reapportionment of representation
in the Democi'atic Convention
upon a basis of the census of 188?,
and that it go into ell' ct this year.
' Colonel Iloyt .speaks as follows on this
' point.
"Xo other authority than the State
Executire Committee can issue a call
for the Democratic Convention, and it
must be guided solely by the constitution
of the party which directs as
follows:
' 'The State Convention shall b(; comj
posed of delegates from each county
in the numerical proportion to which
| that county is entitled in both branches
KKAPPORTIOXMEKT IMPOSSIBLE.
"The eommittee has 110 discretion
whatever as to the basis of representation,
aud it is surprising that a gentleman
aspiring to the high office of
Governor should deliberately make
such a demand, which a slight investigation
shows cannot be complied with.
I am in full sympathy with the idea
of reapportionment, when it can be
done lawfully, but the Legislature
refused te change the basis and we
are bound to observe the law as it is
laid down i?: the constitution ot tlie
f>artv. Any other coarse is demoraizing
and suicidal.
As to the primary plan of nominating
a governor, according to the
party constitution, the committee has
no authority to regulate it Each
county must adopt its own system of
selecting delegates to the State Convention.
C?I. Hort points out th? most serious
aspect of the situation, when he
J alludes to the conflicts likely to occur
I 1- -i. 4.1^ TCIKmam fVilYl.
UCl W tJCH liiC JLlillliau v.wupmg w vvmmittee
and the Democratic Executive
Committee. He hits the nail square i
on the head when he says. "Assuredly
the authority of the Democratic
Party cannot be made subservient to
any faction, and so far as I am concerned
I will urge most strenuously
that the arrangements of the party,
as adopted by the State Convention,
J shall take precedencc of all other
j plans for a preliminary canvass of the
| State."
j The test of a man's patriotism is
j very tersely put by Col. Iloyt. ''The
! thinking men of all classes will readily
j gauge the patriotism of every one
! by the willingness to obey the behest
of his party through the accustomed
channels."

In liis History of the Revolution in

gays: "The majesty of the people
! took the place that hau formerly been

was easiiy and almost * insensibly
effected. The respect which, for time
immemorial had been attached to kings

tributed to the support of their power,
was transferred to those who by pub- '
lie suffrages were brought forward as
substitutes of the people. Each indi- [

office he honored himself as an unit in

in the people" and this is the underlying
theory of our government to-day. *
The words of Dr. Ramsey so eloquently
put, and so full of patriotism
and sound political philosophy arc
ivell worth the sober consideration of i
our people to-day. Some of whom i
seem to be forgetting that this govern- s
inent is theirs, that these officers are I
theirs, that all official acts are theirs, 1
and that any abuse of public officials c

the State who have put them in
positions a* their agents. V*"hen the a
Tarentines threw* mud and filth upon ^
the tooras of the Roman ambassadors, i
\
;hev roused a just and righteous in- t
lignation in the people of Rome, *
nrho felt that they, and not their
representatives, had been insulted, ^
and this feeling was appeased only by
he overthrow of Tarentum. When the 1
nimblest English citizen is oppressed
jy some foreign nation, the majesty i
>f England is called forth to redress J
lie wrong. When Commodore In- <
graham cleared his ship for action 1
4
igainst the Austrian government, ui | <
behalf of an obscure foreigner who 1
had taken American citizenship, he
received the plaudits of the United
States, whose majesty he had vindicated.
In the same way the people ,
of South Carolina demand respect for
their majesty whether in their own .
persons, or delegated to certain agents.
When those whom they have invested
with high and important trusts are
denounced as being permeated with
political lepresy, or with having been
bamboozled or debauched or baring
been tamed by the railroads, it is but
natural that the guod. law-abiding
citizens of South Carolina should feel
si natural indignation and should express
it plainly. Those who indulge
in vituperation of this kind cannot
hope to raise the cry of persecution
when they hear the protest of the
sovereign people.
Again we heartily commend to the
careful consideration of our readers

COLUMBIA XElVS.
Columbia, April 14.-The new
Council is regularly at work and Mayor
McMastcr calls out the dollars or days
to the mourners 011 the bench six
mornings in the week. The only alterations
to be noticed that the new
administration has made are that the
mayor is 110 longer ex-officio chairman
of all the committees of the Council,
but each committee has its own chairman
and the number of days given
fnv Ihlc 1 iff 11 increased while
the fines are the same as hitherto.
Both of these changes seem to meet
the approval of the Council.
The phonograph-graphophonc ha*
made its appearance in Columbia and
the prospects are that it will soon be
in general use. There are three in
use in the city now, and to those who
used an amanuesis the machine will
be very valuable. Any number of
letters can be dictated to the machine
and as rapidly as we can talk, then
the clerk can hang- the remitters in
his ears and grind out the words of
hie oimilnvAi- sif Ins leisure, nuttine*
, X- O
thein on paper by means of his typewriter
meanwhile. Tlie machine rents
for $40 a year and the wax like cylinders
on which the word impressions
are made cost three and ouc-third
cents apiece. It is a very simple looking
contrivance and 'reminds one
more of a try turning lathe than any
thing else.
Brayton is showing his head. He
has instituted charges against Major
Meighan, supei*visor of registration
in Kicliland county, for not having
his books open for registration on the
first Monday in April, as Mr. Brayton
claims * should be done. Major
Meighan has legal advice to the eft'ect
that it is only necessary for the books
to be open on the first Mondays in Mav

The Mosely-Regi?ter libel suit
ended, as very generally predicted,
in furor of the defendant. There was
no indication of malice and the facts
Df the case were such as to warrant
ilie verdict rendered.
The only other case that attracted
much attention was that of Cooper
the Richmond and Danvilie Rail
road Company. The jury gave the
plaintiff $S00 damages, but a motion
for a new trial has been made. This
:ase was caused by the ejectment of .
Mr. II. T. Cooper of Killians, from
i train of the C. C. & A. road about
:wo years ago. Mr. Cooper boarded
:he train at the Charlotte, Columbia
md Augusta freight depot where
;here was no ticket office, and upon

aiming point of the case was that
Mr. Cooper claimed that the conductor
lad never returned the legal fare
jiven him and had put him off the
rain after he had tendered twenty- j
ive cents more. The conductor
slaimed that he had returned the first
"are given and that Mr. Cooper did {

the removal from Lexington jail of

Leaphart has been taken back to Lex

was to have been hung on Friday but
afterwards discovered evidence induced
the governor to grant a respite.
This so maddened the Lexingtonians
that lynching was feared and Leaphart
was brought to Columbia for
safe keeping.
In speaking of Murrell recalls the
fact ihut a party of men, who represent
themselves to be reporters for
the News and Courier, tried to inter
view this prisoner late Thursday night,
but were denied admittance into the
jail. It is surmised that they were
a party intent on liberating him.

A CALL TO DISCUSS THE SITU A TIOX
Columbia, S. C., April 12, 1890.
Dear Sir?The action of the recent
Shell convention, in attempting to
forestall the regular Democratic convention
by placing before the people
candidates alleged to represent ihe
fanners of South Carolina and a plat
form purporting' to express me wisnus
and sentiments of the farmers on certain
public questions, in our opinion
forces upon those farmers who do not
endorse either the candidates or the
platform the necessity for some action
that will show to all other elates in i
the State that the Shell convention did ;
not represent the views of a lar^e
body of farmers. .

following statement of facU tiiii' \?u!
may know the great benefit that has!
resulted from the u?e of your Spcuific:
in the ca?e of my iitlle daughter, now |
ten jcars of ago. The child, when {
two years of age, had a severe attack!
of scarlet fever, which left her with a ;
shattered constitutor. Among other j
evidences of impaired nutrition was j
what the doctor* called softening of i
Iijv. oones. In her fifth year t-he hap- \
pened to a flight accident which re-1
suited in the dislocation of the hip
joint, and, from ihe irritation thus aet
up, terrible abscesses of the hip ensued.
The abscesses, despite the best medical
treatmenttbat*cou!d be obtained,
remained for three years, discharging
continuously. At this time, through
the influence of friends, 1 pnt her on
yourS. S. S. When this treat men t
was commenced the ab*cr<s wa.i xcry
IHi ^r, Having pviiwiauvu^) |
discharging through (hem all. Dur-1
ing this treatment several spicule o{ J
boue came out, ami by the time she
had finished her fifth bottle the abscess
had entirely healed, her appetite and
general health had been restored; in
short, she was well and happy, au>i so
continues.
