T1IE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DEFENDED. Messrs. Editors: It was a saying of i a great American statesman that the i presidency was a thing "neither to be I cmn-Vit >!/->? " Tf. i-nnnmniPS a rale of political ethics too high perhaps for our time?, but tue principle may be applied to other things Jian the presidency. It may for instance be ( flered as a. complete code fur a | ju?t quarrel, at all evenly it is a g.>od ! stone for a newspaper coniro: versy. I am reminded ot it just- now : by the unwarranted way in which our | Tillman friends are misrepresenting | the action of the County Executive I Committee, and as I am more than ! any other responsible for the "report" that has given so much trouble, and as the pop guns as well as the heavier artillery of the aggrieved party arc directed more especially at that, I may without presumption say a word or two for (he defence. Why then in the first place should it he supposed by any one who is him self above trickery that the action of Uhe committee in requiring the clubs their rolls was in pursuance \ s r* ' -JL M GRAND - MALE Determined that ouk udie: of triumphant success. FRIGHTFUL Balance of summer s<ock marked sacrifice. A big s-Iaughter this week in ! 1NG. A large stock of MEN'S and CH WILL CLOSE OUT B, This great sale commences io-day, but come and see for yourself. I P. S.? We arc now making prepa you here from ns later. of a fraudulent and dishonest purpose? The constitution requires the committee to control the operations of the clubs, representation in the Convention is based on membership, and if the rolls are not forthcoming in what | way is the just measure of representation to be determined? But if the committee may call for the rolls without any sinis'er designs what can be the objection to looking over them? And errors being uncovered why not r/mnrf- sjmo tn fhp. f.Onvfintioll ? [ Why should honesty shrink from the light of day? It is certain that in this way the committee on credentials would be enabled to do wors that otherwise it could not begin to do in the short time that it would have to consider the roll?. Bearing in mind then the distinction between.the temporary and permanent organization of a representative body and keeping in sight the fact that tlie main object of a temporary organization is to eliminate members whose seats have been called in question, and that the first business that it transacts is to vote on the rights of such members, the charge that the convention would be denied the right to judge of the election and qualification of its members certainly exceeds the comprehension of an ordinary man. Then it iiust be remembered that the facts of the case have been utterly ignored. This action of the committee nAn. .*rx 1U UCIUUIIUXU^ iug IVil? 13 live cv ^u- ; tirely without precedent as the Till- j marites seem to suppose. Two years | ago this same objectionable resolution j was passed and was respected by one : solitary club. Greenbrier alone sent! in its roll. The political weather, i however, not being so hot then as now i the matter was not pressed in the sub- j sequent convention. Arid as to this last resolution it must be said that it was passed without a dissenting vote from the Tillmanite members of the committee, several ot whom weue i present apd took part ia th disc??io? I With the work of the sub-committce the public aie &o familiar that it is hardly necessary to refer to it. That the rolls needed correction ^oes not admit of denial. That tue wcrk was j fairly done is attested by the fact that! there was a unanimous report, and by j the further fact that ot all the leading I Tillman meu present, protest was j heard from none. Mr. Vv\ J. Craw- j loru wuuse iiuemv iu iuc jLinwmi , ciuse will not be questioned, being j present, and under the impression thai j , iie was a member of the committee I was allowed to participate iu all of its i work, and so the committee stood I practically three to three. It is be- j yond question that it would have been J absolutely impossible-for a committee ; on credentials to have reviewed these ; rolls without detaining the couven-; tion severai days. The statement that the Tillman delegates from Ely the- j wood were thrown out by the com- j mittee is a strange misapprehension. An<l here the matter might be safely j left to the judgment of a candid public, i but a somewhat personal turn has been j giveu to the question and relevant to [ this issue, I desire, keeping as near as j may be to parliamentary language, to i -sa^-tliis^that the man who says that j the rcportaTTte commit tee" was a j "partisan scheme to defrau"htfee^-TfH? manites out of their rights" is a liar, without the benefit of the clergy. Being aware that one should not hastily impose on himself the thanki * V i ^ ~ T -~:n ! less iasK oi giving guou uimue, x nu> j nevertheless suggest to the sober and I discreet men of the Tillman party, that! as they would promote the public wel- J fare, they should at once put under ; lock and key, the pretentious ranter | who has foisted himself upon them a? j their leader.

Editors: Where does the 1 blame for the withdrawal of the Tilliuanites from the late County Conven- j tion belong? Naturally the members ; of the two factious, even those present; in and at the Convention, will answer | this question differently. Under these j circumstances, a plain recital of the j undisputed facts, is obviously jastiflable ' as tending to allay excitement, enable ! disputants to examine calmly, and I reach a just conclusion. mu r . ^4^ xu?5U arc tiie iu';ie. The County Executive Commiitee appointed a sub-committee, composed of five of its member8, to examine and ; compare the rolls of the different clubs in the county. This committee met in the Court House on the l>t inst., and with open doors performed the work assigned it. it declared that three Tillman clubs had <*ach circled one delegate in excess of i:s tr'.ie represen i tatioji. The County Convention assembled the next <'.ay, the 2nd inst., ' the County Chairman presiding. lie stated the objects of the meeting were j to reorganize the County Democracy I and elect delegates to the State Con- j vent ion called for the 13th, and declared the meeting ready to proceed to i .reorganization. Mr. Or. TV. Ilagsdale, j a member of the committee above re ferrcd to, immediately moved to sub- ! mit report of that coramittec. To j grasp the situation' thoroughly it is , necessary to have in mind that this ; committee had been appointed by a ; different body, and its very existence was not officially known by the Convention. and it therefore *ras entitled to no voice nor hearing in the Convention nntil dnly recognized aikj invited bv it.

"W rations to add a Millinery Department to the pending stage of the proceedings [j no vote could have been taken on this : i or any question, other than as in a : mass meeting. The Tillmanites pointed oat these difficulties and irregularities, i aud insisted that a committee on ere- h dentials should be appointed. The ' chair ruled the report of the commit- ; tee to be in order, and could be re- 1 ceived as. information. Uis attention 1 was directed to the fact that in the un- ] organized state of the Convention the dissidents could not even take an appeal i from the ruling, and were confronted < with the alternative of having to sub- < rait to the appointment of a committee : on credentials so composed as the chair i might interpret the committee's report < to authorize, and of losing, as a consequence, three of their delegates l without being able to raise a voice in i protest, or withdraw in a body from j-i the Court House. The irregularity oi this action of the committee, although < sustained by the chair, is brought into ; clcar light by the ju^t reflection that a ; report of a committee appointed by a i previous convention could not have been received by tliis uonvemion anoiganized as it was when this sub-committee attempted to submit its report. The i attempt was manifestly violative of all ' parliamentary rules, usnrpatory. The ! Tillmanites vainly protested and unanimously withdrew. So far I have given : uudisputed facts. They jastify or condemn the withdrawal. A candid and intelligent public is invited to pro- < nounce judgment. The Tillmanites only wish justice. - - ' Wfcat follows will be combated in ) nothnt it is fnnfirlpnHv can and will be sustained by overwhelming proof at the proper time. The Tiiltnanites, after withdrawal, having a bona jide majority of the Convention, assembled in another hall, i reorganized the Conntv Democracy j and elected delegates to the State Convention called to convene on the 13th. i That they have a majority is shown by tbe tabalated statement given Deiow: j Clabs. * Tillman.

HAY.SE MsMeekin. Monticello, S. C., Aug. 6,MS90. MR. G. IF. RAGSDALE REPLIES TO mit. jjlaxjxjs \ Tri- Weekly Neves and Herald, August If>. Messrs. Editors: Apparently we.have reached the crisis. From a divided hoase wc have come at length to two eniirelv separate and distinct houses, each claiming to do business on its own account, each claiming for itself complete and full recognition. The Tillmanites having bolted or withdrawn, as they prefer tophrase it, now ask with a cheek the like of which no *-> 1 1 ^r,V.yv muiiui ill id it uas cvt'i sccu uc iuir, tvuv is to blame for it? Mr. McMeekin, of Monticello, afterreciting what he chooses to denominate "the undisputed facts" in the last issue of your paper demands judgment ihat the Tillmar.ites be forever acquitted, and that they be permitted of course to march light on into the offices without further delay. Uutthe qaestiou c?.nnot be decided simply on Mr. McMeekin's statement; he seems to forget that asiong the really important facts of the case, disputed or "undisputed," are the follow ir.g: that we have a party constitution, that it can be changed ot:!y by the direct vote of the Democratic clubs of the county, that the County Convention is therefore not supreme, but on the contrary us much bound by the law of the party as the Executive Committee. Moreover, it is a matter within the knowledge of every well informed man that questions of general parliamentary practice must be subordinated to the constitution of every representative body. The question then is really a very narrow one. It is this: Article 4 of the constitution provides that "the clubs in this couuty shall be held together and shall operate under the control of the County Executive Committee." Is the election of delegates a part of the operation of the r.lnhs? If not. willlMr. McMeekin be N \ . ) ' . ^j ,-? -j- ~ Bsj^i \iJ!SCXr!?^^M . B INS OUT ;ss SHALL GO OUT IN AM lLL goods. ^1 ice.
