The Press and Banner By HUGH WILSON. Wednesday, June 4, 1890. . "Let it toe Instilled into the Hearts of Your Children that the Liberty of the Press is the Palladium of all Your Rights." For Governor. General Bratton announces himself as a candidate for Governor. Kxcept wherein he yields to the solicitation of his friends, the letter is a good one, and one which will commend its author to the public. During last week a circular letter was presented to some of our cit'zens asking Mr. Sheppard, of Edgcflcid, to become a candidate. The editor ot this paper did not sign it for the reason that he wants no inan to apologise for becoming a candidate by charging his friends with "bringing him out." As a rule, that is not the way gentlemen become candidates for office in South Carolina, though we believe the honor of becoming a candidate was mrceu upon -nr. unman oy a convcuuun of delegates who now seem very much opposed to the antl-Tlllman men even hinting , at the same thing. We believe that no man should run for any office that he doesn't want. If, Iherefore, ? candidate apologises for running for an otihe. by saying that he does so in deference to the wishes of friends?Instead of frankly saying that he Is running for It for the reason that he wants it?we think the public might very well excuse him. There are generally enough men ready to take office, without being begged to do so. We would be glad to see Mr. Sheppard become a caudldate, but if he does nol do so on his own motion, we would prefer that he re maiu out of the race. The office of Governor of South Carolina is an honorable one, and no citizen need seek the office from any sense ol duty to the State. We are sorry that Mr. Sheppard did come out promptly, and becuuse he himself desired the honorable office. The Xews and Courier's postal card election was enough to satisfy him of the high esteem in which he is held by the people. Although "(lie Heathen May Rage and the People Imagine a Vain Thing," Yet Jan. T. Bacon. Bravely Benin the Brunt. Not until the present campaign, lias any po liticai party been so intolerant as the secret organization which now seeks control of this state. By excluding the newspapers (rom the homes of the great mass of the "common" people the leaders may be bett? r enabled to control them, and we presume this is really the only reason that can be fairly urged in favor of the boycott. In Edgefield, Laurens, Aiken and other coi.nties, one of the two local papers have been boycotted, simply because tiie editors did uot favor the election of Mr. Tillman to the office of Governor. Such presumption auu iiituici uiiuu 13 uii^icltuviiiuu iij tin* uiimed States, and, as tar as we are Informed, no such effort to Keep the masses in Ignorance has ever been made In any country. In Edgefield, the people are striving to destroy tbe good old Chronicle, with that honest, fair-spoken, brave and courteous gentleman, James T. Bacon, at its head. HisnlTcuce is, that be doesn't want B. It. Tillman for (governor. One reason why the -boycotted newspapers need not fear, lies in the factTfiaTa generous, brave and true hearted public like that of Edgefield, will como to the relief of him , against whom an uulawlul, or unjust conspiracy may be made. The public likes fair piny, and any effort to ruin a newspaper because of its honesty of purpose and sincerity of speech will fall. Will Autl-Tilliunn \cw?pnp<'i>t be TolerHted t As the Alliance in many instances liavc declared a boycott against certain newspapers in this State, for the reason that the said newspapers do not favor Tillman's election, may not the Antl-Tillmanites have good reason to fear?if Tillman is successful?that he,, and his followers will forever ntn.ll speech in South Carolin!?J?gj*^3Siwfen Tree forbiddlugtbej-^ij^sSi-ga^Oyenaclmi: a law u?\ tlon of any but Tillman "r *""*h as endorse.him and the un democratic methods which the boycotters are now pursuing ? We have not seen that Mr. Stackhouse, tlie President ol the Alliance in this State, has made any utterance deprecating the boycott of legitimate business, and we take it for ^lauicu luatuc, ii&c uiv iiiiiuaii juvpcio, uu' not violently opposed to the destruction or such citizens as do not appreciate the beauties ol a secret political organization which would deny to the citizen the dearest right of the American citizen?that of reading whatever he pleases. And Still They Come. The popularity of the Press and Banner is attested by the accessions to our subscription list. Quite a number of additions were made this week, about half of whom were old friends who felt constrained to quit last Fall. All, both new and old, are gladly entered on our subscription list. It would seem that the farmers are beginning to realize that they, like all good men, have a friend lti the Press and Banner, and that a little honest difference of opinion Is of but little consequence anyhow. Let every citizen subscribe now, and get the news of the campaign. We will send the Preu and Banner for three months for fifty cents, containing mucli valuable current matter. Nearly everybody wants to keep up with the political circus, clowns, menagerie. and all, and every Issue ol the Press and Banner has matter of more or less value. How In Thin ? It is taid that the Alliance will probably make nominations on the 17th Instant, to lilt the entire county ticket. As the Alliance takes things very much their own way, there is no telling what they may do. The situation is becoming critical for candidates aud prospective candidates. We believe, if Tillman does not discourage the move, when he comes here on the day of the grand rally, that it Is a foregone conclusion that the managers of the party will present a ready uinde ticket for the voter. Wedon't know but that it would be a prime Idea. We will wait development. Iu Dancer of tbe Hoycoll. We copy an editorial from the Sumter h'atch" man and Southron, oil the situation. As that paper does not support Mr. Tilltuan, we shall now expect to hearof the "Shady Grove" and "Sleepy Hollow" clubs boycotting the Watchman and Southron. The Tillmanltes are veo sensitive, and have no patience with those who do not think as they think, and who do not see as they see. Never In the history oi the country, did the people make such war on newspapers?the disseminators of education. truth, t.nd civilization. ^ ? Propose* to Do u Little Boycotting. Tbe Clinton Gazette of last week makes the following announcement, for the benefit of candid tiles in Laurens count} : The editor of this paper will not vote for any candidate, who will not announce himself, or be announced by friends in these columns. This is bona Jide, and holds good till after the primary. Come now, let us reason together. Therearts three newspapers in l.au reus county, and two of us are lor (.'apt. 15. It. Tillman. There is no paper in South Carolina more solidly and earnestly for Tillman than la the Oasrlte,and we should have a lair showing. Send her lu P. O. Money Order, Registered Letter or Check on Bailey's Bank. :Jun GRACEFUL FIGURES IN THE COURT ROOM Handsome Men ami Prelly M omi'ii | Dance the German.

It is tiine to elect delegates to the Congressional convention, which convention will determine whether a Congressman shall be nominated by primary election or by aeonventionof delegates from tlie respective counties. The chair will be glad to hear from any de legate. W. C. McGowan?I move that we go into an election of delegates to the Congressional convention. Carried. Mr. McGowan?As there has been no call for the convention, I would move a reconsideration of my motion to elect delegates. R. E. Hill?I know of no reason why we should not elect delegates to-day. We all know that such a couvcntlon will be called. fOSSlDiy ue:uru u1u lie.Xk iciuiui im<;ciiii6 ml Ibis club. In that event an extra meeting would hnve to be called, to elect delegate.1). Capt. J. N. King?I agree with my friend Mr. Hill, and would oppose a reconsideration of the resolution to elect delegates. James Moore?I think It premature to elect delegates to a convention not yet ordered. The delegates to this meeting were not instructed as to Ibis matter. Our people did not know of it. T. A. Graham?I wish to act In fairness to ail parties, It is inoouvenlent to call an extra meeting. If our president would make proper presentment of facts to sister counties I have no doubt thut they would concur in any measure looking to the convenience of all. The Chair?There ought to be no unnecessary delay In settling the question. It is nothing but Justice to the candidates to lei them know as early us possible whether the nominations are to be made by priinury or by convention. Capt. King?Our people are In favor of primary election. W. C. McGowan?I am perfectly willing to elect delegates, if we can do so constitutionally. I would not like to have any misunderstanding in the matter. The Chair?That convention will not nominate a Congressman. It will only decide whether we Will elect by primary or by convention.

Bradley?I think it entirely proper t<> elect delegates to the Congressional convention. It. K. Hill?The people are overwhelmingly in favor ot primary election. The only qu?'S lion to be determined is, whether wo will elect delegates. Jus. Moore? We don't know that all the candidates are in the field. I have seen the name of only one announced In Ilie newspapers, except that of Mr. \V. K Calhoun. There may bo other candidates. I hear that there will be other candidates, but we have had no authoritative announcement of the fact. No man Is committed to the race until his name appears In the papers. The county newspapers arc (tie only register that we may go lo 11 ml out who are really candidates for office. If there are other candidates than Mr. Calhoun they are not yet lu the Held. The motion to reconsider Mr. McOowan's motion was then putund lost, James T. Buskin?I move that Congressmen be elected by primary. \V. C. MeUowan?On the majority plan. Mr. McGowan's amendment was accepted, and the resolution adopted. The Chair? Nominations for delegates to the Congressional convention are now In order. The following gentlemen were then placed in nomination, without any special pleading In behalf of any nominee : J. K. Todd, W. C. MeUowan, Capt. James Rogers, David Aiken, Capt. John K.

While the tellers were In the Jury room, ' couullng the votes, other business was taken up by the convention.

G. Graydon?I desire to call attention to o the fact that we have not adopted a constltu- t lion. I therefore move to adopt our old con- n dilution with the following amendment to o ArticleSection 8: t Provided, That tlie numcriml si rfYuf)Jl O&l eacn local club shall be .. w < t>e the number ofvxa?pR??^Teu and taken to ( the polled by such club at i general primary election, unless a I new club shall have been organized composed < In whole or In part of the members of such J club, In which case the member Joining such i 11 U \V LIIIU ollil11 uc auuuuucu IHH1I (lie IJIIIUUCI of votes polled at such general primary election, and the remainder shall be the voting strength. Amendment lost. And also the following amendment to Article 5, Section 11: The primary elections herein provided for shall be held in-accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed therefor by an act of the General Assembly of this State, passed December 22.1SS8, entitled "An Act to Protect Primary Klcctlons ancl Conventions of Political Parlies and to Punish Frauds committed thereat." Amendment lost. I. H. McCalla?Does the gentleman propose to adopt the old constitution as a whole, excepting the amendments, which he proposes? E. G. Graydon?Yes. sir. I. II. .McCalla?I do net see the propriety of fixing the constitutional vote according to the number of votes which the clubs cast at the last primary, and without reference to the actual number of n.mes Hint may be on any roil. I don't see any use for reducing the number. There may be some objection to the old constitution. Let It be read. Two years ago we adopted a constitutional amendment disfranchising negroes who voted with us in 1S7G. In that campaign 1 guaranteed these neonle the rlulit to vote with us in future elcc lions. I dul so under the advice of Judge Cothran. I tun willing to submit to the will of the majority, but my opluion is, the party is willing to give negroes their rights. O. N. Ni cities?I think Mr. Gruydon's resolution in reference to voting strength Is unjust. Long Cane has a larue number of members. but. on election days they generally vote lit Abbeville, Due West, or Hodges. If this plan should be adopted other clubs would get the benefit of our strength. We have two hundred names on our roll, but we sometimes vote not more than twenty-live or thirty. J. K. Oraves?I move to strike out that part ol Mr. Crnydon's amendments which refers to the voting strength of the clubs, and also that pnrt of the constitution which disfranchises the negroes. I as often vote at No. 1 club a* No. 2at Abbeville. It would not be fair to deprive No. 2 club of counting my vote in n constitutional vote. F. W. K. Nance?I move to lay Mr. Graydon's amendments on the table. E. U. Graydon?I aslt the gentlemen to withdraw his motion for a moment, so a? to give me an opportunity to make an explanation. F. W. It. Nance?Certainly. I withdraw my motion in order to uccommodate the gentleman. E. G. Graydon?We have tried from year to year to get the actual numerical strength of the clubs reported to this club. Various efforts have been made, and several motions have been adopted by this club requiring the the information, but the fncts have not been ascertained. Some townships have two clubs, and some have more, the names of the members composing new clubs are in many instances the same as are on the old clubs. Sometimes one name has been known to be on two or three club rolls at the same time, In I8ss the Democratic voting strength of this county was 2X92, being the biggest vote ever polled at ft primary In Abbeville county. At the last meeting of the County Democratic Club In May, and every session lately, we have cast in a constitutional vote from 3,700 to l.ouO votes. This resolution seeks to correct this erroneous way of voting. Each club ought to vote Its actual strength, and no more* It Is unjust to those clubs which conform their constitutionnI votes to their actunl strength, to let other clubs vote in some instances, two-thirds more than their actual voting strength. A. W. Jones?Abbeville Nos. 1 and 2 have not near as many bona fide names on the club lists as arc voted In the primary election. ami crowding urmind the rail, and some talk- i ing in uu animated way, tin; Chairman callcd < order. * K. W. R. Nance?Sorry to sny Unit the gen lleman lays down a plan which does not meet I the approval of nil of us. I call for my mo- | lion to lay on the table. Curried overwhelmingly. R. K. IIII1?I now move that we adopt the Constitution. Dr. J. A. Robertson?I move to take it up seriatim. 5 This resolution at that hour was a stunner. ( The member* were not prepared for It. To undertake the rending and discussion of the . whole document was fearful to contemplate. Finally, Nome one recovered from the shock, 1 and moved to lay Dr. Robertson's motion on 1 the table. Carried. ' \V. C. McUuwhu?I move that all delegates to the .State convention be elected by primary , election. The primary is the fairest and best way tor all ollleers,and as the primary election Is a! declared plank in the platform of the cnly | party with candidates already In the Held, I| presume there will be no obieetion to adopt-1, ing this resolution. . J. 11. MeAlla?I have heard no objection to 1 the old plan. It lias worked well In the past,11 and 1 have 110 doubt it will do so in the fu-'c lure. 1, therefore, move to Iny the motion in reference to primaries on the table. ' J. T. Jlasklu?I think dial part *?f the Constitution which excludes the colored Democratic voters from taking part in elections, a caaaMBag inmnaM? ? !! nwini 5rent wrong, and I move to change that part i of the Constitution. W. H. Parker?I would not allow any negro to vote who has attained tho age of'21 since 187G- I have always advocated, as a Just trib-| ute, that those who voted with us in ISTti.l should still be allowed to lake part in our prlmnry elections. Capt. J. N. Kiug?I hope tho resolution allowing Democratic negroes to vole In our primaries will prevail. We made pledges to the1 colored Democrats in 187(5, which we should fulfill. E. G. Graydon?I am In favor of that part of the Constitution, which refers to negroes, stand as it is. There is no such thing us an honest colored Democrat. Whenever a negro is a Democrat, he is so for revenue, and for revenue only. It Is humiliating to think that my vote may be killed by an Ignorant negro. l.'apt. J. E. Bradley?This Is a question which was sprung on the people in the darkest hour of their history. The negroes discarded their own party,|and came to us at a time when we most needed help. It is a debt of gratitude which wo-owe, that we allow them to still vote with us in our primaries. James M. Majors?We are on ticklish ground now, and the utmost caution should be practiced on our part. It is painful to ex elude those w|io helped us in our extremity, but I think we should exclude ngroes now and forever from our primaries. We are on ticklish grounds. I. H. McAlln?I came here in 1S70 to seek advise as to what we should do in this very matter. Judge Cothran, our County Chairman at that time, advised me to let the Democratic negroes take part in our deliberations. Three hundred of them Joined us, and three hundred of them voted the Democratic ticket In the General Election of 1S7C. The Chair?The motion Is on agreeing to the amendment allowing negroes to take part in the election. Thn (JonsUrnLion uriilor which the Countv Club worked In 18SS wus then adopted, excepting the amendment which was paused in 18K.S, which deprived all colored voters from taking part in tlie primary elections. As the Constitution now stand*, those colored voters who voted with us in 1876, and continuously since that time are entitled to all the privileges of voting in the primary that are accorded to other Democrat*!. E. G. Grnydon?I move that our rules for conducting the primary election conform to the law of the State, governing primary elections. I. H. McAlla?1 presume the law is all right, but I should like to hear it read, before we commit ourselves to it. D. H. MagiII?[tills delegate being neither tired nor hungry at. three o'clock, said :J I would like to have the Constitution of the party read. F. W. R. Nance?fit was evident that this delegate didn't want his mind stored with valuable political information at this hour, promptly said in great earnestness:] Mr. ijlinlrinau I move to lay that motion on the Uible. Carried instantly. A dele-gale here thought we ought at least to hear read the Act of the Legislature governing primary elections. A. W. Jonc*? Mr. Chairman, why tnkc up lilt; time of this Convention. It is the law of the Stale,and this convention has no authorty to change or alter it, even if we do not like t. At this point the reported become confused -It being evident that It would require about, liirteen short hand reporters to make full md complete holes. Finally, however, the eporter resumed consciousness, a revision ol slub rolls was talked of. Finally, on motion if I. II. McAlla, it was Itetolved, That each club in tlie County revise its club list, and furnish the County Sec ctar.v with the same, by the next meeting of liis club. The Chair?There is one important matter >et to bo attended to. Immediately after the idjournmentol this meeting the Executive Jommitlee will meet to make arrangements 'or a grand rally of the Democracy ut Abbeville 011 the 17th Instant. Presidents of local ilubs and officers of the County Club, compose that Committee. The meeting adjourned. SURRENDER BODY AND SOUL.

Then what Is thelogl;al application of Mr. Tillman's charges? His charge of corruption must be intended as ignlnst llie representatives of that class to whom tie now appeals, otherwise iMr. Tillman must be regarded as merely a cheap John politician seeking the advancement of his personal ambition. If Mr. Tillman's charges are true, then are ihe farmers not proper persons for official poiltions. Responsibility follows power as a shadow the substance, so llien If the larmers tvere In the numerical majority in the Leglsature theirs was the power and theirs the reiponsibllity and if In this view of the case, ;he census was not taken and the re-appor;ioninentof represeniallves over the JState not thereby made the farmers who had the power are to blame. This Ik notour position but It seems to he. when facts are logically considered, that of Mr. Tillman. Then If the farmers are responsible for the ?nly fault charguble to the (Government and Mr. Tillman is the champion voicing llie sen.Iment of his class In regard thereto, his <llsilbutes are directed against himself and his 'ollowers, hence following out this reasoning, Mr. Tillman is charging himself or his claxs A'ith corruption. We suppose that as fast as Sir. Tillman's bubbles are punctured by the iharp lance of truth in the hands of such rcloubtableantagonists as Col. Karle lias prov>11 himself to be, and his carefully stored gas s let out, he will find other and equally variolous charges to satisfy the malignant prejudices of his followers, who seem to have surendered body and soul to him. Perhaps the old war cry of "down with the irlstocracy" will be revived and w'll suflice or the practical results in view. The word irlstocracy, as used by the Tillmanltes in the ,vay of a party cry Is not a protest against in>quality in the distribution of public ollices jecause such Inequalities do not exist.

Perhaps the anticipated evils of Tillmanlsm ire greater than the real evils will prove, but :erluln It is, that its effects are beginning to ihow in a way that stamps it as an unwise ind deleterious agitation. We have been reliably informed by parties n Columbia that many Investments contemplated in that city by alien capital have been luspended and in many Instances "indefinitey postponed" on account of Tillmanlsm. We know of loans 011 property In this city where securities are ample withheld and anamioiii'd "till the clouds roll by." One loan company has withdrawn fromt lie State and another stopped while in the course of organizing a business here, for the same reason. Money is timid but naturally follows in the wake of "booms." The booms are not unJoubtcdly turning South and with nothing like Tillmanlsm to check it cheap money tvould soon flood our State.
