Boss Quay thinks that it is
veiy impolitic for Republican Congressmen
to speak out in meeting'
and say that the next 'Democratic
House will be Democratic. Even if
the Republican members honestly believe
that such will be the case, Mr.
Quaj* thinks they ought not to say so.
*v This illustrates how uneasy the Republicans
are and all their hope centers in
' the probability of passing a Federal
election law.
"We retuin thanks to those in charge
for an invitation to be present during
the North Carolina Music Festival, to

a chorus of two-hundred voices selected
aud cultivated, and artists of the
first order have been secured for the
grand festival, plenty of money
subscribed. So a brilliant and charm^
ing succe^ is guaranteed.
A lifelong Farmer and Democrat,

Feoji all parrs of the county come
the charming news that crops are
growing off nicely and in >plendid
condition, indeed the prospects are
compared to those of 1882, the year
that the tine erop was made. It is
true trtat the result of the year's cropping
cannot be estimated with anything
approaching certainty. A cwtton
crop is one thing that can't be
guessed at with certainty until it lias
been gathered, but it is always a good
thing to have present prospects bright
This time last year, as remarked by a
farmer, everybody was trying to get a
stand up. while now good s'ands are
growing every where. Altogether the
outlook is very encouraging tor a good

The habit of building' monuments to
commemorate great victories is perhaps
older than the written history of the
human race. Men in all ages have
manifested a disposition to transmit to
the distant ages fitting memorials of
the viJor which has saved them in
some natural crisis.
The custom is not without, practical
value, the example of heroism is an
inspiration to nobleness?the monument
to Leonidas and his valorous
little band on the moand of the last
resistance, is an object lesson of un- j
flinching fidelity.
In America to-day many splendid
monuments are reared. And against
the custom nothing can be said?only
let us see to it that the monument shall
speak the truth.
A bill is now pending in Congress
to make a large appropriation to mark
the positions of the Southern troops
during the three days fighting a
Gettysburg. A like work has already
been done for the Federal troops. A

Southern achievement may | rove too
strong for Yankee -viriue.
The Battle of Gettysburg was the
most desperate in the annals of war.
Never since the invention of gnu
powder and the improved implements
of war, had such mighty armies met
in deadly combat, and th? desperate
courage displayed upon either side is
worthy of all commemoration.

Now as a matter of fact, there ha*
been n? lobbyiti? whatever. I tunke
this statementof fact upon the authority
of Col. L. L. Polk, the national
president, who resides in the city of
Washington. Co!. Polk and Dr. C. W.

I none. Lobbying is not an Alliance i

But your corespondent goes further.
He charges that the Alliance is trting
to bargain with the Republican party.
Hear Mm: "The men who are representing
the Alliance at this end of the

go into any combination that will be

Bargaining with the Republicans!
The representatives of the Alliance in
Washington "a sorry lot!" Dudley,
the Boston missionary, treats with the
Alliauce authorities in souui uuroima; i
Terrible iudictiiteut. Now, 3lr. Editor,
1 submit that you owe it to your thousands
of Alliance readers i:i So*th Carolina
to investigate these charges and
insinuations and report the result of
your investigations.
1 believe R. M. L. is the accredited j
representative ol the Xexc.i and Courier j
in Washington city, tie makes the j
statement that the Alliance and the
Republicans are forming a combination
to divide the Democratic party in the

of Cungre^s." The members or tne
Allinnce in South Carolina tyare a riaht
to know who the''well-known member

They are entitled to the bottom
facts in reference to these charges. If
the\ are being deceived and betrayed
by theic leaders they s>honld know it.
If the enemies of the Alliance are trying
to ruin the organization by misrepresentation
they should know it. If

HE CAN TRUST THE FARMER.
(Niocs and Courier.)
But we must have agitation and organization.
As General Bratton, of
Fairfield County, expresses it in his
manly and patriotic letter consenting,
of tlia invitation nf n. Vinst. rvf fripuds.
to make the race for Governor, the
canvass of the State arranged for by
the Democratic authorities is "certainly
not to foment a family quarrel
or that partisan strife and personal
scramble for office which is alleged to
prevail in conventions of politicians,
but for the fair and square submission
of our differences, freely and frankly
stated, to the people themselves for
final adjudication and adjustment.'*
Gen. Bratton has faith in the people of
South Carolina. lie is willing to trust
them. A farmer himself, he knows
that the farmers can be relied upon to
cast their, ballots?, as they say their
prayers, for the cause of good government.
and the safety of the State. He
would scorn to do an ignoble thing;
he would scorn to take advantage ef
his calling as a fanner to attempt to
antagonize one class of citizens against
all other classes for the purpose of
achieving political position for hint
self: he would scorn to use anv separ
ate organization to break the power
of the regularly constituted Democracy.
In his canvass of the State he
will" direct his efforts "to the discussion
of the situation in its bearings
on the common interest in the hope
that he may contribute to that rational
agitation which will tend to throw the
light of truth upon it and enable us to
perform intelligently our duty as
sovereign citizens." Gen. Brat ton
holds that ;,tlie Democratic organization
is the ooly agency" through which
the best interest of the State and its
people can be guarded and promoted.
He does not depend upon the votes of
"tliA TiiiiA fflt-mpi's -frnm <<PlmvlAcfnr??'
| to suggest him for the high office of
Governor?lie is willing to serve the
whole people in that office if the Democratic
party, in the regular way and
fey regular methods, shall select him as
its leader.

WHAT OCONEE THINKS OF OUR
FAVORITE SON.
(Keoiac Courier.) j
* lly reason of tlje strong pressure i
brought to bear upon Geu. Bratton, {
of Fairfield lie has consented to become '
a candidate for Governor, and will
canvass the Slate. He will probably
meet the Oconee Democracy two weeks
hence, and tell from the hustings his j
convictions as t?the political necessities
of .the hour.
He has had considerable experience
in political affairs, having served;
several terms in our Legislature, and
was once a member of Congress. His
public service lias well qualilied him
for the proper discharge of the responsible
duties of chief executive of a .
great commonwealth.
He was a gallant soldier in the late
war, aiul bears the evidence of his
faithfulness to his country's cause in
the honorable scars upon his person.
In time of peace the discharge of
public duties has n-.ver found him
wanting; and taking the many earnest
solicitations of friends in every part
of the Stale as the voi?v of one summoning
him to duty, he has consented
to stand for the nomination before the
!)? . ocratic State Convention.
Jlu is a rannei* oy occupation, ami
makes his living from his farm. He
is said tQ be one of the best farmers iu
the State, and is thoroughly allied
with the agricultural interest of our
people.
HE HAS RISEN ABOVE THE TRICKERY
OF THE POLITICAL.
( York Enterprise.)
Gen. John Bratton, of Fairfield.-in
response to numerous letters from
different parts of the State has consented
to be a candidate for Governor.
In his letter, which will be found in
another column, he rises to the lieigtit
of true manhood, and counsels that
unity of action which will best preserve
intact the supremacy of the
Tip Isivs lin
charges at the door of anv man, but
proposes to take the stump and discuss
fairly and impartially the issues
before the people and let them decide
for themselves whom they will choose
for the Chief Executive of the Palmetto
State. A better, purer and
more conservative man than Join
Bratton does not walk the soil of Sonth
Carolina, and no man could go before
the people upon a broader, more
liberal platform than that announced
in his letter. The only reason that he i<
has heretofore been "slaughtered," as
some terra his defeats, is because he |
has risen above the trickery of the [
political!, a fact which is worthy of
the attention of the people.
