A torchlight parade cf Democratic >

being in line. An old skating rim:, i
accommodating 2,000 people, in %vliich !
a mass meeting was held to-night ami j
which the Governor addressed, w;u- j
filled to overflowing.
When Governor Hill was introduced |
by Chairman Welly he v.-as rigorously j

tered. None more important has b?c:; j
held within a generation: This eon-;
test is not merely between men or par- j
ties, and not only between govern- i
mental policies. The question presented
to our voters is net whether tbi*
next House of Representatives v.-ill \ ?
Republican or Democratic, but whether
the nature.of our Federal Government
* - is to be radically modified and the integrity
of our institutions successfully j
threatened.

dean party in its brief control of Con-}
gress. 2So party lias more recklessly i
defied precedents, more flagrantly disiv- i
garded principles, more boastfully j
overturned traditions, more seriously j
invaded private rights, more arbitran- j
iy enroached upon the prerogatives of 1
the States or aore tyrannically ustu j
the power of a partisan majority.
The animating motive of its acts i
<eems to have been only the perpetun- j
tion of its own power, it nas cuicu ,
nothing for the Constitution, nothing j
for the treasury, nothing for the people.'
s Its chief desire has been to get such a
r lirm grip or control of the Government
that lor generations to come its politicians
may feed upon the spoils of
power.
To accomplish this the party has increased
its majority in the Iious? of
Representatives by arbitrarily ejecting
Democrats from their seats; has stolen
the representation of one State in the
Senate; has admitted to the Union
States whose only claim to admission j
-?? T1 f* ?Y\ .? !
is that they win swen liepuuuv-au u.?i-,
jorities; has denied representation ro j
Democratic Territories much better j
qualified for Statehood in point of!
population, and resources: has ignored !
the rights of the minority by tyran-!
nical methods and the ruling of'
Speaker of the House; has squandered
the treasury surplus by extravagant j
appropriations to conciliate particular ;
interests; has enacted a tariff bill which i
will supply corruption funds for elec- J
' > -3 I
tion; has conducted a eeusus, ucul-uhvc^
everywhere as worthless, and manipulated
for counting Republican populations
up and Democratic populations
down, and has threatened the enact- j
rnent of the force bill, which wili put j
an end to State authority in the certification
of Federal elections and make
Congress not a representative of the j
people, but tbe creature of whatever j
men Federal officials may choose to i
count in,
This is the record for an endorsement |
of which the leaders of the Republican j
party are now stumping the country.!
If ?u*4nstituti0ns are to be preserved j
<,^,3 ^t^f- PVprv patriotic citizen
ir*' QUU JLUbUV'1 ^ ? ?
must do his duty in rebuking thisj
grasping and tyranicai political o-i- j
garchy,
TC"hen the present Congress con- j
vened in December last the Kepubli-1
cans had a majority of three in the
House of Representatives, which was
scon increased to eight by the admission
of Representatives of new States.
Eighteen contested election cases wore ;
submitted to the committee on elee-1
tions,all but one brought by Republi-1
cans, and that one by a man who after- i
wards acted with the Keputuicans as a ;
condition of his being seated. In order !
to facilitate the process of counting i
Democrats out and Republicans in, no j
rules were adopted for the space of j
three months, and then only when the i
loud protest of the country made it i
impolitic to outrage public sentiment j
longer. The House proceedings were
conducted on what the Speaker called
-general parlimentary lav,*," but what
in fact was his own arbitary will. The
most sacred parliamentary rights guaranteed
to the minority during a century
of government were ignored. With j
the brute force of the majority and!
without anj show of reason nine Demo- j
eratic Congressmen, bearing official
credentials from their States that they
were legally and properly elected, were
turned out to make room for Republicans.
Four other Democratic members
are awaiting: decapitation at the hands
of these political assassins at the next
session of Congress.
Is it any wonder that having accomplished
this Czar-like purpose. Speaker
Reed exclaimed: "Thank God, the
House of Representatives is no longer
* deliberative body ?"
After discussinff the tariff, so far as!
it relates to the interests of farmers, I
xhe Governor continued as follows:
But not only has the Republican
Congress stooped to the sharper's tricks
to hoodwink the American farmer in
the matter of tariffs on his products,
Out it has made his living even more
expensive than it has hitherto been. It
has heavilv taxed nearly every article
of wear, many of his agricultural ?m1
pigments,hishullinj? materials and his
household furniture." Protection of the
MeKinley sort weans the taxation on
the great body of the consumers to onrich
a few manufacturers. Its burdens
will fall particularly upon the poor.
The people are to be taxed 600,000,0.1)
fer three years in order that a few
manufacturers may experiment in this
country with the tin-plate industry, if
you think this is a partisan statemen t
read what a member of Harrison's Cabinet
says about it in a recent advertisement:"
Tinware is advancing in cost, and
rery soon manufacturers will have
their war. and you and i will have to
pay very much more. In view of this
state of" things, we made some time
since a large purchase of kitchen tinware
at what was a low price then and
would be far lower now in the lace of
two advances m makers' price list.
Signed: "John "Wanamaker." j
All OTer the country the effect of
such legislation has already been to j
Increase the prices, of dry goods and j
other household necessities.' The MeKinley
bill has defined sharply the |
issue upon which the two parties artdivided.
The economic dotrine, which
the party in power now supports, is
one which it "would have repudiated
ten years ago. and which some of it*
great men?like Blaine?are evidently
desiring to repudiate now. The time
has come when the demands of the!
manufacturers and producers are for j
wider markets. Our foreign trad? last

?I-i; this cannot l;;1 acconiphshf'd by
a x v.l: jy xvhieh loads to retaliation.
The McXiuIcy bill is said to have produced
great excitement in Europe.
iJiit what- if Europe should retaliate
by (bee-kin? her imports or breadstuff;;
*tnd of cotton and oil and provisions
from the United states? What would

three-fourths of them were agricultural
products. Suppose, as the result
cf this Republican policy cf prohibits::,
Europe should be forced to draw
largely on Canad and Russia and India !
and Asia for their products, what j
would become of the American far- j
i:ii'is? What could recompense the,
country for loss of this vast market ?
What could alleviate the distress
anions: tril classes of our people?
A distinguished statesman has truly
said that our exports preserve us from
bankruptcy. 1 tell you. fellovr-citizens,
we are playing' with lire when we rcsor:
to such mischievous legislation.
Talk about reciprocitj ! This is retaliation,
embargo, prohibition. AV <-ll

Then, in conclusion, referring to the
contest in this (the 16th) district, urging
every Democrat to vote for John
G. Warwick, '..he Democratic candidate
he said:
For McKinley personally I have the
highest respect" He is a gen.leman of

Calient qualities as a citizen and nrigh'

.veil of him. He will not deny that he
is a liiost bitter partisan.ami was ne.ver
kn-i-.vn to support a Democrat for public
position. * !"Iis frirnds are now a?!tir:~
complimentary votes in his behalf.
1 wont you to refuse them. brc;v ;s:i he
represents principles in which you do
not believe. lie has no just claims
upon your suffrages as Democrats.
There has never been a partisan outrage
attempted against your party which
iic&inley has not supported, lie voted
to deprive nine honistly elected Democratic
Representatives or their seats in
Congress. lie sustained every arbitrary
ruling of the despotic Speaker, lie;
voted for the infamous force bill, by j
which he seeks to deprive your party
of every fair opportunity to regain control
of this Government. He has been
instrumental in foisting upon th^
country an unjust tariff measure,
which can properly be designated as
the sum of all viilanies. lie gives you
no assurance that he will pursue any
different course from that which he
has pursued in the past, lie is not entitled
to the vote of a singls true ard j
upright Democrat who resides in this
r;i<< rif?t, Hi* friends coinulain that his !
district has been "gerrymandered."!
liut _>Ielvinleys voice is "silent when !
his party friends in other States have
"gerrymandered" other districts against
the Democratic party.
Fellow-Democrats, the eyes of the
whole country are upon this district,
watching- the great contest in which
you are engaged with breathless interest.
Republican corruption money,
obtained from those who have received
Government favor, will be poured into
this district to debauch its electors
The integrity of the citizens of the district
are at stake. McKinley cannot
shut his eyes to the fact that the funds
for this campaign are being raised in
inffivcicfc: his hill
fi v >\ uwcv
has favored at the expense of the consumers
of the country. I ask you to
measure out to him the same consideration
which he extended to thoSe Democratic
Representatives who were ousted
i'rom their seats by his vot?.
The applause during the Governor's
remarks was Ion?: and hearty.

Sanders and Rev. \V. IT. Bowling were
arrested vesterdav by United States>
Constable "Williams of Allendale. on a
warrant issued b\ Commissioner Morgan
upon the affidavit of one Kilev,
chairman of the Kadical party for this
County, charging them with refusing to
discharge their duty as oncers under the
State laws. The whole ailair is trumped
up in the interest of cue S. E. Smith,
candidate for a seat in Congress. The
gentlemen above named were carried to
Vamassee this morning to have a hearing
before Commissioner Elliott.
It seems that Kilev brought one hundred
and fifty or two hundred ailidavits
! in a gripsack to Colonel McSweeney,
and demanded registration certificates
j in exchange. The affidavits were sworn
| to before a Charleston darkey, known to
I n<.) one in this County, and as they were
noc presented, by the parties who maae
tlieiii Colonel McSwec-ney declined to issue
certificates. The other gentlemen
are charged with refusing to administer
oaths to negroes desiring to make aiiidavits
that they hadlo>t tiieir eertilicates.
As registration days fell onsalesdays it
would have been very inconvenient i"? ?r
tiiese otlicers to neg!e:*t the duties of
their o-lices. and they consequently declined
to do so. iience this persecution.?

that two members of the British Iron

here they will never forget. They were
walking over a trestle, on.,the summit
of Lookout Mountain, and were caught
by an approaching train. On one side
was a rock wall 100 feet high, an C,e

wore too short to stand on without being

r<'C-;:l'jt..t.:on that visitors carried away .
in the h.-rrors of th;;t dismal place. A
lluk between the wretchedness v/ithin
the walls and the sjlad freedom outdoors,
the hvarty goo:!-i.?y from the
trainmen to the convict as the tn-iis i

those who heard it like a deathbed part- .

They all knew his story. Years aeo, |
when iirot ths new "trusty" appeared ;
at the depot, a single glance into his \
clear blue eyes was sufficient to make j
the trainmen his friends. That Ward-!

v.-as hoii'sl ii.s and the sympathies
??f his new associates went out
to him crm before the}' had learned
the lie-tails of his one offeree against
his country's laws. Visitors to the ;
prison who have left the building wit! 1 j
ttelliiigs strangely alternating between '
repugnance and pity for the miserable
occupants of the white-washed cells,;
have seldom failed to question the con-1
viet, guide who escorted them to the J
train huw it happened that he was in
such a pine-". And, indeed, it did ap- i
pear n:o. e than strange that a mart of ;
his unquestioned honesty should be ;
among the eondemneil. Without a^- <
tempting either t"> miniraize his offense I
or to appeal ior sympathv. (lick would ;
answer that he had killed a man and
h'^f! liPf"! frit" 1J ! < - :

hence he would in all probability b>*'
wearirg still another suit of s?rip:-s. j
ami so on from year io year until?j
"marbe when I'm" an old man I'll get!
cut of here."
To bear a. youny man full of vigor j
thus talking hopefully of the tian.-j
when he should be an old man and free '
on-.-e again to earn his daily bread was j
painfully sari. Curiosity and svmpa-!
thy demanded a fuller explanation, j
and the convict would not hesitate to |
give it. It was a very ordinary uunr-j
rel that had resulted in the loss* of* life !
to (lick's victim and the loss of liberty i
tr* fits*}' h'm? ? V. A??f ! ?*? i?-? !
the employ of ;t hurst* trader ir: .South- I
trn Illinois. Between his employer i
ana ;i neighboring dealer a bitter feed ;
had ion? existed, and whenever neces- i
sity arose for business negothitions I
between the two Gick always acted as i
representative of his employer. On
one of these occasions high words arose
between Gick and the rival horse dealer.
A light seemed imminent. According
to Gick's story his opponent
was on the point of drawing a knife
when a friend threst a revolver into
Gick's band. A second later the horse |
dealer wms dead, shot through the heart j
bv a bullet from Gick's cr;n. Then i
followed a long imprisonment and
trial. Popular opinion ran hi.irh that
the <ier<] luui been instigated by (lick's
cmpiover. Every inducement was offered
to Gick to confess that his em-j
plover had actuated the crime. 7'ut to
every appeal Gick replied that the kill-!
ing had been done in self-defense, and j
that if iie were placed in the same po-!
sition again?an angry opponent about
to draw a knife, and a revolver thrust
into his own hand at the instant when
his life seemed in most imminent rx-ril
?he \vot:id act just, as he had done. J
Sentenced to the penitentiary for |
life. Gick accepted hi::- fate as stoically j
as he had undergone the ordeal of trial;
and jail imprisonment. Ilis new life >
began m the harness shop, where his i
conduct was so exemplary that War-!
den XXlaughrcy singled hiin out as j
his "irusty"''or confidential servant. In
this capacity almost unlimited confidence
was reposed in the convict. The !
journey to and from the station, which j
is within a stone's throw o; the prison !
gates, was the least of the chances:
thrown in Gick's wav to escape had he !
so desired. As confidential servant to
the warden Gick was often sent, dressed
in civilian's clothes, into .the city of
Joliet. The fast horses in the warden's
stable were at the convict's disposal j
whenever, as often happened, his duties
took him to any considerable distance
iroti! the -prison. Thus it happened
that on the streets of Joliet the convict
la-came one of the best known iigurts.
IVople would stop to exchange goodday
with the honest-lookiri? fellow.
Acquaintances began to multiply, and
within a radius of a dozen miles ilnne
were lew w.'.o iiad not a good word to
say oil behalf of iiobert (jick, tin* war- j
den's "trusty."'
..or.,.int yen iiKe to <jel out of

r-j'iy y.tis, ' [ would give my ri^iit

bill I can stand that rather than fe-d
that. I am not hone.-t. I never dereiwd
a man who trusted me. and I don't propose
to begin now."
15u.t alas lor the poor fellow's sense of
honor. In a moment of madness, infatuated
bv a woman's glances and
mortily blinded by ihe- fumes of liquor,
ho decided to throw away his moral
obligation In Hope with a
ofSrill iheolUfeelingoi' friendjiness,
horn of honesty ;itnl trust, saved
Click at least l'roni the actual breach of
trust which lie had contemplated.
Amonjj his friends in the prison wore
many who, though wearing convicts'
tarb, were ret, in (/irks opinion,trustworthy.
To leave them without.?, word
was something he had not contemplated.
and in the moment when ids
plans for freedom seemed on the verge
nf rumniptinn !t<* f.ocviw.i'-hv
to those whom he and trusted. Then
came the catastrophe.
Milton's "Paradise Lost" contains no
sadder picture than that, presented by
i Sir unfortunate young i'ciJ<j>vr. torn
from the semi-freedom which a convict
alone could appreciate; torn from the
society of sympathizing friends in the
cily; lorn from the company of the

BURDENS OF THE TARIFF.
A St. Louis IlardauTM I)c::!or i'-.sts tho 1
Ciise Vcry^learly.
St Louis, Otobcr 2*J.?In the course 1
of an interview on t.iie elVect of the Mc i
Khilev bill this evening .Mr I. \V. IIor- 1
ton, vice president of tliu .Simmons Hard- :
were Company. said some interesting :
thiugs. Ills compauy controls the larg- ;
est single hardware concern in the country,
and he spoke hv ti;o card. j
"Several ditfereut items or lines of i
goods handled by our house." he said. <
"have been atl'ected. i. would say that <
the articles on which the effect has been <
most noticeable arc guns, cutlery, tin 1
plate and stamped tinware. There has i
already been a very radical advance In i
the prices of guns, in some cases amounting
to asmnchas 3(Jpercent.
"The items to which 1 would call per- !
licular attention, however, arc pocket i
and table cutlery. Everr manufacturer I
oi' pocked cutlery m the country has ad- i
vanmi prices lrom 10 to 20 per cent,
which I consider the lirst sstcp it an advance
that will reach 00 per cent, as it
is. of course, well known anions business
men that whe-n manufacturers advance
prices osi their troods thev do not .
put the prices up to the point they expect
to reach at one ji.nip. but reach the
desired result by gradual advances.
"Of course, the additional protection
iriven tliesy manufacturers by the new
Tariif .Vet. which enables them to advance
prices in ibis way. was totally unnorpssrirv.
:iud the Olilv result that L
can see. aside Irom allowing the manufacturers
to make more money, will be
the advance in cost, vi their articles to
the consumer. The m.'iStglaring injustice
oftiie law is seen in the advance in
the dut.\ on table cutlery. For the last
tlfi eon years not a dollar's worth of
table cutlery has been imported to- this
country that in any was competes with
thatol American manufacture. Understand
me. I do not say that no table
cutlery has been imported, but I do say
that it does not in any way compete
with the American manufacturers, being
ot an entirely different grade form that
made in tins country. The manufacturers
of tabic cutlery in tiiis country
have !>?r several years been in a po;>i,
which has prevented there lighting each
other toa harmful extent. Kvery one
of these table l Uilcry manufacturers has
made money and many oi them have become.

Chairman llice issued the following j
>troiiLr and rousing address to the Demo- j
racy of the County to-day:
r? the Democratic Voters oi Barnwell\
County:
Vv'e are confronted by a grave condi- i
tiou or' alla'.rs. unknown before in the j
;;oii'Lical history ofSouth Caroline. The '
iiii: of our party is threatened. Whito I
supremacy is in danger and the eivili/a-;
Lion of our people is ti;c issue involved. !
What was predicted by some, but unex- I
peeled by us. has happened. It was i
i t* . , i " \ _ t? i _ ,. ;
iiopeu ui;u me counsel 01 moderation
'.vouM j rovail after the meeting of your
Convention in September. These
'inpes have been blasted. An indepen-1
movement has been inaugurated j
rind an independent ticket lias been i
placed in the ;ield. and, for its success. ;
i coalition must be formed with the lie- j
publican party. Aid must not be <_'iven j
,L from t!ie ranks of the Democracy.
A meeting of citizens has been held,
styling themselves Straightouts, repre-1
-enting a defeated minority of the;
Democratic party of the .State, and in
ipposition to tiie regularly constituted
authorities of our party and m defiance
,>f the Democratic conventions held in
August and September have issued a
riroclamation of war against our Demo
;ratic nominees, and to load them in this j
uinatural undertaking they hare norailated
a lull State ticket wi'h Judge
iiaskell at its head. Their action has
n.-en such that they can be no longer
onsidered a part of the Democratic
part}* of South Carolina. They hare
abandoned the Democracy by calling on
the negro vote to aid them in tlieir infamous
scheme of overriding the vrill of
Liu; majority and placing South Carolina
igain in the hands of the alien oppressor
md the servile and ignorant negro.
'Virile mav ot them are men of high i
-ocial standing and once of great political
influence. men whom the State has
lionored with high political trust, it becomes
our dut}7 to use all the means in
:>t:r power to defeat and stamp out this
iva:iion act of independeutism which is
;ar worse than Radicalism. We owe it
;o ourselves and to our posterity never
igain to allow our State to be trampled ;
mder foot and iie prostrate at the feet |
jf those who will despoil her. We should i
;ake no risk and listen to no spccious
irgumciH that there is no danger, but
?e on the alert and use all our influence
:i bringing 10 the polls every Democratic j
coter and see that every ballot is prop- j
L-rly deposited.
It has been sought to deceive our peo- i
[)le by the unfounded argument that it is
ruin to say that the action of a political
[);uty exempts the voter from responsibility.
Such doctrine Is without foundation
and un-Detnocratic. If such menbe
rs of a party is a law unto himself |
then no party could exist. Party fealty j
:equires each member to rote for anil i
support the party nominees.
1 would urge you by the hops of te
'uture of our State and the future of our
[,'ounty that you meet this issue on the j
lay of election, and iet it be said at the

ghastly sight! Tliat is what met the

the perpetrator of the mine was is a
mystery, ami will doubtless remain so.
Xoone saw the hand that held the
knife with which the woman's throat
was cut from ear to ear. All is conjecture.
For the purpose of obtaining
some information, concerning the mar

and was told the story which is as
follows:
Mr. and Mrs. Morrell were sitting in
the piazza of their boarding house. when,!
a few minutes before 8 o'clock, the mur- j
dered woman rushed to llu* door holding j
her hand to her thsoat. from which the j
blood was Mowing piofusely. In a mo- j
ment they realized that the woman's j
throat was cut, and she was asked if
she did it. She shook her head negative-1
h. She was then asked who did it. She j
tried to say something, but was unable

made. She was in the dining room or
kitchen washing dishes when the attack
was made, and it is thought that the
murderer came up from the rear of the
house. Mantha Crosby was a white
woman, though a prostitute of low I
character. .

AN UGLY QUESTiCN ASKED.
A*i Open From 7'Ir. K. K. C^i ? r;v* J
t;> JU(l?r A. C. lili.HkeH.
Sir: You have recently exprcsseayour- j
self, in very strong terms, in oppo
siuoi: l<> \ ioieuec or iorce ill a ay ionu
at the approaching election. In the :
interest of the same peace that you invoke
and in th* name of thousands of your
personal friends, whose sentiments 1
know j. express, and. who esteem yon
personally as much as I do. although :
opposed t'.> your present poiitcal position,
allow me to ask you to answer publicly
tliis inquiry. Do you r<*sr. your prospect
of election solely on the white Democratic
"otc or do you and you friends
intend to supplement your present
following by an appeal to the Republican
negro vote and to the machinery
of the election law?
You are aware that the present complicated
machinery of elections was
adopted under a ureal exisencv. ami thac
that exigency having in a great measure
passed away rigid provisions of the law
have uot for years been enforced.
The letter of the law requires every :
voter to hold a registration ticket and to
exhibit it to the managers as a prerequisite
to voting, but for years this has been
practically a dead letter. If tnis provision
of the law is enforced aL the next !
election thousands will be disfranchised.
!Xow, remember that the supervisor oi
registration can exercise a very autocratic
discretion in issuing tickets after the tiimfor
renewals lias expired. So can t!
managers exercise the same kind
authority at the polls in requiring or not |
requiring the production of the ticket.
All of these officers arc appointed di- j
nr inrVrot-t 1 v liv finvrrnri!- T?.;rfc?
aivldon. who is in entire sympatay "a ith.
you and vour friends. and who has already
written himself down as a moet
extreme partisan in refusing to give the
other side the least representation.
Xow. if you with the assistance oi'Ll.e !
Administration, should put in operation
all this election machinery and at the
same time appeal to, or even tacitly accept.
the negro vote, there is no qeestion j
but that you can carry the election against
the ninetenths of the white vote who oppose
you. You know the people of this
Slate too well to suppose that this would
be neaceablvsubmitted to. or that a Gov- i
eminent so established could exist for u j
day without Federal bayonets to sustain
it
Such action would necessitate on the
part of the white people the very violence
that you so mucii deprecate, for the Tillman
faction" (if you choose so to call it)
by reason of its manifestly large widle
majority is not to be forced into retreat
or compromise. They would be dastards
if they listened under the circumstances
to a proposition of compromise.
If you rest your prospects of election

cumstances you.i defeat might be certain, i
but it would bring with it additional ad- j
miration for the man who could not u:i- i
der the most pressing circumstances be j
tempted to commit treason against his j
people and his State.
You hold in your hands a'grave res-;

would. You owe it to the people who j
have so much honored you m the past ;o

whose lifeless body (as we then suppos- !

It ill comports with your character to '
occupy an equivocal ^position. Assure our !

Charleston. Oct. 23.?11. K. Charles j
of Darlington County recently ad-1
dressed an open letter through the!
News and Courier to J udge Haskell,the j
anti-Tillman candidate for Governor, I
asking him to answer publicly this inquiry:
"Do you rest your prospect of
election solely on the white Democratic;
vote, or do you and your friends intend
t?> supplement your present following
by an appeal to the Republican or
iie^ro vote and to the machinery of the
election laws?"
The News and Courier will publish
to-morrow Colonel Haskell's answer, in
which lie says: "Yes. We ask for the
vote not only of every white Democrat,
hut of arery colored Democrat and
every white or colored Republican entitled
under the laws of this State to
vote. We ask them to vote for U3 because
we beiieve that our ticket is composed
of men who earnestly desire good
| government and who will, to the best
of their ability, administer for thejyood
of the whole people in obedience to the
pledges put forth in the platform and
I utterances of the Democratic party
established in 1ST6.
"On the other hand, we advise all
citizens, without regard to party and
j nice, to vote against tneTilitnan party,
which lias repudiated, orerttirown anci
trampled under foot those solemn
pledges which should bind ever? Demo{
