Whex Cornell ran for governor of New York his party friends paid up all his debts amounting to $40,000. He is dodging the sheriff again. Cornell is evidently a bad egg, but a good republican. mM ? It is said bv those conversant with ?vrvK+ir.jl l>icfrwv fh??f i?r? nrpvions time has there been such a general tide of popular favor setting in for the Democrats as ha- been seen in the United States this year in the local elections. The Columbia Record reports that, the canning business, carried on in Columbia on a small scale has paid j handsomely, and recommends an enlargement of the enterprise. This is the way to do. Start on a small scale, i # then gradually increase the business. Tiik X?\v York World shows- that Matthew P. Quay, when treasurer of Pennsylvania, on two different occasions, took money from the treasury and gambled it away in speculation. Party friends each time made up the loss which reached half a milion dollars. Quay is the biggest man in the republican party to-day. Tiie Pan-Americans have abandoned i their Southern trip, and will now return home, after having been dined \ ' I ^ and wined by Northerners on numerous occasions. The Conference has. as far as we can see, accomplished nothing-. Certainly nothing'so far as the United States is concerned. !t has been in the hands of Mr. Blaine, and. of course, it was not suspected j that the Soutlfs interest, or advantages, would receive any attention at the hands of the Uonterenc . W k always welcome items ot new.-, i:i t'aci rti* r-t-etn s;:ch reports a- personal favors.

Alreadv some ln?ve gone jn-t a-Pitle too far, anil ue now give fair warning iii?t i-. circle has been drawn and no one must step outsidi of t!i:it circle. Stick :o the question at issue. If the Farmers' Alliance would unite in strong protest against the tariff it would accomplish a great deal of good. The failure of the Pan-American conferenc to attain anything that will result of good to the Union was in a larije measure <iue to the influence of protectionists. We believe that the Alliance has done good, and it is in a peculiar position to remedy evil caused bv an t xce*sivc tariff' on consumers of article? now n?e?l by farmers. In this respect the Alliance can *nrely be of great benefit to the South, if not to the whole country. The Greenville Xtws suggests that ?: . the cities and towns in and around Greenville adopt some plan cf afford iiig itinuseiUdiis uunnj; uic ^uiuuici season. Nothing is giving any excitement just now except Congress and ^ _ Tillman. The former, says the iVc/w, % is already a bore and the latter "will probably become a most frightful, yawning bore by the time we get through commencement season." The Xews is right. Vv'e ought to have something to keep us going during the summer. Let the towns of Chester, Lancaster, Yorkville, Rock Hill, Ridgeway aiul Blackstocks put theiv heads together and devise some plan of bringing the towns together in a pleasant way. A base ball league for instance, would help tilings considerably. If-. T 4.; >y t puimsu a cuiiiuuuiicuuuh aiuili "Go Slow" this morning. It contains some solid horse sense, which lias universal application. All the summer is before us. An opinion formed the day before election is just as valid as one made months in advance. "Go Slow"' reminds us that we have all perhaps at some time pledged ourselves to a candidate or a policy before surveying the whole tield, and have been sorry for it afterwards. There are some grave matters for us to think about. The charges made against j. ~ i * ! mi, ^ past ;i?muu?ir.iuuu> art* serious. mc platform proposed by tlic Tillman Convention embraces several fundamental changes of policy, some of which involve questions of great importance that do not appear on the surface. Are we ready for a constitutional convention with its expense ami uncertainties, is the plan proposed for managing' ihe phosphates the best? Should all the counties be compelled to have primaries on the same day? Should the Clemson College 1)0 an Agricultural College pure and simple, or should it have other departments as the University has been i criticised for having? Have our mom- ; bers of the Legislature been "b<iui-1 lmnrlprl nv ?lp}?:inrhod Tf reforms are needed who is the be*t man to make them? The raters ot the State, it is said, k have been making mistakes for twelve ' years. Shall they run into other hasty action after this warning? It is one thing to tear down and another to build up.. on? thing to make stump speeches, another to administer the I J. iU! ? government, une uuiig iu jjci uj< i hurrah, another to manifest and exer- j eise political wisdom. All these mutters at issue will be discussed freely before the primary. The people should keep their ears open, their minds free from passion aud prejudice, and their judgment 111 reserve, unti * all parties have had full time to advocate their cause. Then, and not till then, can an intelligent conclusion be i camtu. ^ Cleveland's "Interview ~ A reporter fixed np an infamous lie, and the X3w York World published the false report. The manufactured lie was an alleged interview with ex-President Cleveland in regard to what Dana, of the Stut, had so brutally said about Mr. Cleveland. The World has editorially confessed that Mr. Cleveland was grossly misrepresented, and does so in the following language: ! Alter a luorougn invest lguuuu we arc satisfied that all Mr. Cleveland said for publication of a persona! character was contained in the first fourteen lines of the remarks attributed to him, and that he did not use the coarse and intemperate personal expressions accredited tohim in a subsequent portion of the interview. The friends of Mr. Cleveland will scarcely need this assnr| ance, an tbev well know that ?uch lanyuaife is foreign to his temperauiont I 1 - ..>! ......rK:tr U(!U Hl?

If 1 the election were close at hand there , wculd be some necessity for us to , make up our minds at once. But it j losift come off till November, and } the Democratic Convention can't be i lield before the end of August or the ] beginning of September; so we have ^ it least four months for looking over : :hc whole field and making a choice. IIow many of us already hare been nad or sorry that we went and pledged >ur votes too soon; and how many tvonld have given anything for a :haucc to change with decency? What man ever goes to a sale stable md buys the first horse or mule that ( s trotted out? Hasn't he learned by t ixpericncc that tlie best stock isn't t wrought out in the beginning and that j f lie isn't too anxious, but waits, he i tvill either see a bolter horse after a ( .vhile, or will be ?ure that there isn:t j tny better one to be had. \ If a stable hasn't got but one horse j o bring out it isn't much of a stable. ?

Tri Weekly 1Yog* and Herald, April 20. Messrs. Editors: In your issue of 16tli inst., you publish an article taken from the Charleston Xeics ami Courier in which are given the names of the members of the Legislature voting for the railroad bill in the session 1882 and also of those voting for the amend? r ments thereto in the session 188:) in which my name corrcctly appears, as of tlioso voting affirmatively on both of these questions. The Js'eves and Courier, it appears, published the article as a caustic criticism of Capt. Shell's Manifesto wherein he, in eflect, charges j those who supported the legislaiou of 1882, and in 1888 voted for the amendments, as having been "either bamboozled or debauched." In your criticism of my article in the same issue, you allude to this matter and kindly express your belief that I was not "bamboozled or debauched." Please accept thanks. The peculiar connec tion or your anusion suggest a covert invitation for me to say something in my own defence, otherwise I should hesitate to ftsk the indulgence of a short space in your columns to do so. It will doubtless be remembered that during 1882 there were frequent and loud complaints of the arbitrary conduct of railroad official*, and a very general demand throughout the State for a law appointing three railroad commissioners with full powers to /?/\nfrrwl roilrnn/1 aflTflirfl. A mftinritv of the Legislature sympathized with the demand and the law of 1882 was their response. The arbitrary conduct of the railroad authorities had undoubtlv invited severe legislation, still I regarded some provisions of the bill as too vigorous, but the opposition was strong, and very ably lead. There was a heated debate lasting several days, and it was manifest that if any of those favoring severe legislation, 4 Kama ti'AiiM 1\a o "Pol 111 rft f A ? ilVClUU; I11C1C nvuiu yv, C4. XM11U1V WW enact any legislation that would admonish the railroad authorities that the State was in earnest in her efforts to arrest their arbitrary proceedings. Hence I reluctantly voted for the bill as the best we coulagetat the time. It may readily be seen, I trust, tb&t I had no difficulty in obtaining i*y consent to vote for the amendments submitted for consideration in the a-P 1 QQQ Tl?n?r nmr^omnc ciiflfi. OCO?1V/1I VI iwy. xiivii v * i^vnw cientlv strengthened, as I judged, the powers of the commissioners to give all needful protection to patrons of railroads, and releived the State from the reproach of being arbitrary in her dealings with corporations engaged in this important line of business. I may have been "bamboozled," for a clearer and more experienced brain than mine, might have had some difficulty in grasping the numerous and complex provisions of this railroad legislation, and in duly weighing their bearings and effects; but I am not pre- < Sared to admit that I was "bam- ; oozled"; 011 the contrary, I am persuaded that, under the same circum- ; ^ ? -1- r ji;j . stances, I would voie again, a? j. uiu then. I can say, with a clear conscience, I -was not "debauched". I have not the : remotest suspicion that any member "was, or even approached by any one with such a design. I regard the charge a baseless, gratuitous libel, and beg to add that 1 regret that Cap.t. i Shell and Capt. Tillman too are handicapping a good cause by this and ; other extravagancies. They are plac ing cudgels in the hands of the politicians to beat them with. Hayne McMikkix. ' Mouticello, S. C., April 22th, 1890. THK SITUATION Again DiitcuKaed by Mr. McMeekin. Iri- Weekly News and IUralcl. April 29. Messrs. Editors: In roar criticism of my article in your issue of the 16th inst., among some things that meet j my approval, you advert 10 cnarges j against the State officials made by Capt. Tillman in his addresse* and public correspondence and by Capt. Shell in his recent manifesto. These are matters outside of the issue that you and I are discussing. Captains Tillman and Shell are able to take care of themselves. I shall confine ray remarks strictly te the issue between u?, 1 to wit, whether or not tou satisfao- ] torily answer ?y question: "Why are j the proceedings of the late convention < ippalling?" You say, "the conren- ^ tion nominates a man for Governor, j rebukes the Democratic organization, ( md declares the candidate for Gover- i nor will be put in office for the pur- f ?ose of purifying the party, thu? j i..: ?? .Iiipiyiug uuiiUj-'UVU JII lhu paiuj. Granting this to "be a fair and full presentation of the proceedings of the , ;onv?ntion, which, however, I do not, is I shall endeavor to show further oh, [ fail to see that eith?r of these statenents considered neparate, or all com- j iined are of suck an alarming charac- c ;er as to warrant you in characterizing ;nem as appaumg. lsi. "me coMV*n- 1 ion nominates a man for Governor." Assuredly there is nothing- appalling n one democrat, or a thousand demounts declaring' the name of the nan they prefer for Governor. 1 rhe editorial management of your ' >aper hag more than once in th$ pant v impressed its choice for Governor, c .t is frequently done by other papers md individuals throughout the State. ' !t certainly has nev?r occurred to me hat there was anything- appalling, or iven wrong in their doing so. Has lot Capt. Tillman and his adherents ~ ,s much right to do this as others? nd. Rebukes the Democratic orgalization." Is there anytMng appalling ti this, unless, indeed the organization ias rendered itself worthy of rebuke? s the organization so sacred, or so , yrannical, that one mnet not dare to * riticize its actions? Is it imagined, I he good people of the State have at | ?ngth become such merit automata a*' nnBMBnnBiManaBiaiHpMBi 111ipf.lv in ftiilimit: tn f]?r* lieTioctc nf I the State Convention, which many beleive to be manipulated bv wirepullers and slate-makers, and make ao efforts to set such wrongs, right, or if the wrongs have no existence, take such steps as will make it difficult, if not impossible for thorn to exist. Whatgeuuine well wishers of the party and State can object to this? 3rd. The sandidate for Governor -will be put in 1 office for the purpose of purifying the J party, thus implying corruption in tbe party." This covers the same ground as your objection 'ast above noted and require mo other answer. You denounce as unwise, the ignoring of the regular Democratic machinery in , organizing campaign clubs. In this, ' I fu'ly concur with you. Such action I is not the legitimate result of the pro- 4 ceedings of the convention, and inani- J manifestly tends to divide and subvert [ the party supremacy. You complain r that the convention endorsed a paper j that advocates the plundering tariff, i mo convention meant, I presume, to * do nothing more than return thanks J for courteous treatment by the paper j referred to. It is scarcely conceivable : that a body of South Carolina Democrats collected as this was, would deliberately commit it9eif to an endorsement of the present tariff, or that greater iniquity that Mclvinely and hi? confreres in congress are pretending to amuse the plunderers with, for certainly tney Jiave not me xoiiy, or perhaps more correctly the audacity t?> enact it into a law. Indulge the J digression, while I say, the infamous k ropublican party could not retain power an instant, if the negro question j could be eliminated from politics, j Its great characteristic principles are < hatred and plunder, plainly disclosed through the thin veil of pretended Negrophilisna. You kindly express the opinion that the actors in th? Tillman movement will live and die loval democrats, but 1 -.1 ait: uiaiiiicu suyui me encui uu 111c i children contaminated by such an example. I might content myself with the admonition, let us not cross the bridge till we get to it: but will add for our mutual encouragement, what I deem a sufficient answer: J Race-allegiance will prove in their case, J as it does in ours, a guarantee of j party-loyalty. I note no other objec- 1 tions save that in general terms you * xprees your disapproval of Mr. Till- 1 man's methods of conducting the cam- ' paign, and muit repeat that I fail to see your juitiiication of the charge that the proceediags of the late convention are appalling, even according to vour --C iL wii presciusuou ujl me suujcuk. j_>ui, ia fact, have you stated it fairly? And certainly in the discussion of a subject ?f so grave a case as you have seen tit to gire this, tlie utmost candor is demanded. The proceedings of th# convention speak for themselves. I mentioned them in my first article, but at the risk of taxing the patience of the reading public, ] am constrained to restate them here, because of your failure, 1 as I think, properly to present them. ( Briefly they are as follows: The adoption of a platform, the declaration of ' the convention's choice for Governor < aad Lieutenant Governor, a pledge to 1 abido by the action of the State Demo- ] cratic Convention, and an invitation | to those dissenting from these pro; ceedings to take such action in contra- ] vention thereof as they prefer, and < both factions g? before the clubs of ' the State on the merits of their res pec- ' tive claims for support. The manifest | design and effect of the movement are , to precipitate a quasi-primary for dele- \ gates to the county convention. The press of the State, with few exceptions, are obscuring the issue in a cloud of < words. It is difficult tp beleive that such a areneral misception of so mani feet an issue can be otherwise than genuine, unless there be a general j purpose on the part of the press to ] mislead the people. I am loth to even suggest such an idea; but if such is the scheme, it is reassuring to perceive that their success has not been complete. ^ Capt. Tillman, however injudicious 111 some respects, his course is, has, in this movement, touched keys . that reach responsive chords in hearts i of the people. They welcome it as affording an opportunity of ascertain ing whether or not there is majority rule in our party, and if not, why not. They fail to perceive in what way it forestalls the action of the State Convention ; how it infringes Democratic methods, or in what "degree it more endangers the party-integrity and supremacy, than do the primaries for county offices. Xor is the cry "Till man ring ' causing dismay; our ratner evokes a smile at the aggressiveness of the press and politicians towards the alleged "Tillman ring" as contrasted ' with their acquiescing approval of the | methods of the alleged convontion manipulators. It is reflected that if Tillman heads a ring, it is at any rate, no more of a ring than that constituted by the wire-pullers and slate-makers uiider the "Old Guard," and affords this vast advantage: tliat the people hare an opportunity of electing which ring they will follow, and in the attritions* aad antagonisms of the two, make themselves both heard and felt. I beg to suggest, to Capt. Tillman and the leaders of the movement that it be made to embrace congressional nominations. If it were adopted in 5 very congressional district in the Union, there is reason to believe it tvould effect the formation of a third md dominant party in all the states where the negroes are not numerous inough to menace good government. Hie party of hate and sectionalism ivoulu thus be retired into igiiominiouis _ )bscurity; a congress secured, composed of members representing the r people; the hands of tne monopolists itayed from plundering. It is mani- P fest that the relief of the people from 11 )ppression? is hopeless under the 0 ^resent constitution of parties at the S'orth. To change it is doubtless a herculean task.
