The Independent Ticket.
Various opinions exist us to the strength
of the Independent ticket, which now appeals
?1q the negro vote to defeat the Democratic
nominations in South Carolina.
For our own part, we believe that the Independent
ticket will receive fewer votes, than
would a regularly nominated Republican
ticket. Fewer white men, and fewer negroes, ,
will vote for an Independent ticket against
the Democracy than would vote for a Kepub""
Trv,?onniiilpnt
liean ticket?aamuung w iuC
ticket is Democratic to the back-bone.
The responsibility of the voter for the suitableness
of candidates ceased when the.Demo*
cratic party made nominations. The duty of
every Democrat, according to our way ?l
thinking, is to support the Democratic tick- ,
et.
If the nominees of the party were brought
outirregularly.it lsjcertain that the Bolters
__ who are appealing to the negro vote were no!
nominated in the usual way.
It occurred somewhat thus :
A Radical in Charleston " suggested " a
ticket.
A handful of dissatisfied Democrats after
wards met In Columbia and nominated the
before mentioned ticket.
After that a number of negroes met In con.
ventlon in Columbia, and j" endorsed " the
aforesaid Independent ticket, which had been
? " suggested" by the Charleston Radl.
cal.
_4 The people now have two tickets which
were "suggested.'' The Democratic ticket
was "suggested" by the .March convention
of Farmers. The State Democratic nomina
tiDg convention nominated that " sugges*
tlon,"
The Independent ticket was " suggested "
by a Charleston Radical. The Bolters "nominated"
it, and the negroes "endorsed';
It.
It remains for every citizen to do exactly
as he pleases. If he wants to vote the ticket
" suggested " by the Charleston Radical, and
which was afterwards nominated by the
~ Bolters, and "endorsed" by the negroes, it (
is his privilege to do so. Every man has a .
right to choose his leader.
i Ifany citizen chooses to prefer a "sugges- 1
k lion " by a Charleston Radical, to a " surgesI
lion " by his neighbors, kinsmen and friends !
I (the farmers,)?he can be his own judge and
choose bis own associates. i
H Let no voter from spite, or from any
.presumption that, ho is better than a ma; ,
Jority of the Democratic party, " scratch ' i
or refuse to vote the Democratic ticket in 01[
der to put Bolters, or Independents in
office.
We have nothing unkind to say or to think
of those who choose to vote for the defeat oi ,
the regularly nominated Democratic ticket.
We would say, however that we are sorrj 1
that this division of sentiment has arisen. (
(We are sorry that those who have ruled and I
held office in South Carolina, or those of their j
f-torwio irhn nnw unpk oflif.e. should turn theii ;
backs on the white Democrats of the country.
We are sorry that those to whom we have
S looked for fidelity to the white people should
now seek to divide us. We are sorry thai
the " best people" think so poorly of their
while neighbors.
The SlanJer Case.
We believe both the plaintiff and the dej
fendact, and their frlendsjare reasonably well
satisfied at the result.
The verdict for the defendant, Is as far as
we have heard, generally accepted is a vindication
of his character, and the amount of the
verdict is not sufilclently large to Injure the
financial oonditlon of the plaintiff.
The jury, evidently .were not Inclined to
hurt either. They gave the verdict In vindication
of the plaintiff,|and theaniount was placed
at sosmull a figure that the defendant was
^ not hurt.
While we believe there Is a growing sentiment
to settle and even up everything by dol
lars and cenis, yei in mis secnon 01 couniry
Juries have not been in the habit of awarding '
large verdict to persons seeking; mouey damages
for slandere d character. ,
^Y'hlle the Railroads are held to strict ac<*
countablllty for accidental Injury to tlie per- <j
& bod, It Is also true that the citizen may maK
" llcionsiy slay bis neighbor with almost abso- i
1 lute safety from suits for money datnagtsby
?; the relatives of the deceased. j
if a railroad may be sued and mnde to respond
in money damages for accidental Injury '
to the person, It would seem that tl>e citizen ?
should be at least held accountable for inten- t
tional Injury to the pers' n.
I, The finding of the Jury in such cases might
K insure the payment of a given amount in t
JL money, or else a certain term of service in I
" the penitentiary.
Compared to the Indolent or thriftless citl- c
zen who may be entirely independent of "
Sheriff's levies, the thrifty and industrious
citizen Is put at a disadvantage, without the J
alternative in sentences for reparation of dam.
age to a neighbor's life. ?

1 It has been often charged that there was an
e!ement;iu South Carolina which.would either
ruleorruln. Until recently we have not believed
a word of any such statement. Now,
' we are almost persuaded that there Is such a
spirit pervading that element, and which idea
Is still more thoroughly impressed upon their
satllltes, who, like their leaders, may be profoundly
impressed with the belief that they
are better and :purer than the great mass of
the people who compose the Democratic party.
Nobody doubts the sincerity and honesty
of tbelr belief.
? Dissensions and divislous among the people
of the Democratic party have occurred
from time immemorial aud we believe that
history has not recorded an instance where
by revolutionary action, bolters and independents
have accomplished any permanent
good for themselves, or where they have effected
any great harm to the Democratic
party. The Democratic parly will still live,
and the great mass of the while people will
oorniningle .and associate together politlF
cally.
I There never was a time when there were
not a few white men who thought they were
L better or wiser than the rest, and wanted the
| offices by the votes of the negroes and we
I suppose there never will be a time when such
F a condition will not be the ease, therefore, we .
| see no special reason why the people should
now be discouraged or cast down.
^ Individuals may quit the Democratic party
for any of the oonceivable motives which
may prompt them to do so, but the party
which has existed for a hundred years will
manage to gel along at any rate, and when
they have had time to reflect upou the error
of their way, they may return to the Democratic
household. Rut if they choose to stay
out of the ranks, the act will furnish additional
reasons for fidelity on the part of those
who have faith in the majority of the Democratic
party of South Carolina.

Independents.
If the Democratic party has not bf>en true:
to its pledges to the negro, Is anybody more j
to blame than the members of the Indepen- j
ilent ticket ?
I)itl anybody ever hear that tlicy pleaded
the cause of the negroes before they wanted
their votes as Independent candidates for
office ?
Doesn't It look very much like ttie Independents
thought the Democratic party was
good enough as long as they, or their friends,
were kept In ofllce, but now when a new set
of officers are to go Into ofliee, doesn't it seem
that they would deliver us over to the enemy ?
Even if the negroes should elect the Independents
in 1k:?>, will they not in elect
men of their own set next time?
The negroes would then have no more use
for Independent Democrats than the Demo
erats had for Indepcndeut Itepublh-a in ls7i!.
The Independents.
The independents in Abbeville are not a
numerous class. In the first place, the county
was largely in favor of nominating Tillman.
Of course this large majority will stand as
a unit for the Democratic nominees .
It may be a bitter pill for many to
have another and a new set of white men to
go into office, yet we hardly think that any
citizen of Abbeville who may have
any hope of Democratic preferment in the
future, will vote against the party in the hour
of its peril.
Independentism is tlie half way .station to
Radicalism, and when independents go back
on their party, the Supreme ruler of the universe
alone can tell where they will land.
Raising aSpeetrc.
Charleston Sun.
There Is a Spectre in the closet of the Democracy
of.South Carolina which will not down
it any man's bidding. It is the ghost 01 a
people's ballot slain, in the direst emergency
and by appeal to the highest and first law oi
nature, the right of self-preservation.
Gentlemen Democrats! White men ol
South Carolina! cling to the potltlcal anchor
as yon would to the cross for your soul's salvation.
For by It we are justified or damned
as certainly as there is any truth in the luw o.'
moral reason !
We do not clearly see?we think no man
clearly sees the end which the present course
of events Is working out. Thnt.it is to some
food purpose we trust as Implicitly jus we oe
liove that Hod is wise and just.
But, for the present, it seems to us that "men
have lost their reason."
Here is the position of Judge Haskell, according
to his letter to "Mr. Charles," publish
ed in the News and Courier this morning.
Havlug entered the lists as the champion
md vindicator of the Democratic regime since
187<?. against the majority voice and wisdom
f not alone his own faction, but of his own
party, lie appeals to the negro vote to aid In
assisting him to overthrow (he white supremacy
in the State established in that year.
md oilers them, t>y all the pledges of Wade
Hampton to them In 1876to sec that they have,
i tree vote and a lair count If they vote for
(lira against Tillman, who (without having
jvor been in power) has violated those
iledges.
By virtue, we suppose, of the control of the
election machinery, lie promises to give them
i free vote and ajfair count as an Inducement
*> vote for him.
He seals his promise with an oath taken on
,h? pledges to them of Wade Hampton iu
S7ti.
He wisely refrains from saying anything
ibout how those pledges were fulfilled,
And he asks them to sustain him in vlti.il;i*ting
the various administrat ions since lh"0
because of their truth and fidelity to the ne
jro's rights and Hampton's pledges in ISTii.
These overtures arc made to a people who
.hough in a numerical majority Iu the State
tave been rendered an absolute nullity as-a
lolitieal factor by the methods pursued by
,he administrations which they arc called
lpon to vindicate and sustain in Justice to
hemsel ves.
(Judge Haskell takes the negro for a bigger
'onI than we believe him to be if he thinks he
vf 11 swallow this bait.)
All this was done, we sny, upon the plea of
t higher law?that of self-preservation. Once
.hat ground is deserted, where, in the name of
iod, do we stand!
Justice and equal political rights to nil !
Yhat madness to assert it?
It Is true that Wade Hampton only pledged
limself in 1S7Gto "accept" the loth amendment
"in good faith."
Does Judge Haskell propose to carry out Its
:onditions "In good faith ?" He lordily
jrushes away the Imputation of fraud.
Does lie propose to sail into office, if he can
inder false colors?
The giving of the franchise to the negro
inder just and equitable conditions, we boldy
assert, would be the act of a statesman.
"If his p^rmi-sion to vote for a ruling class,
n the name of "the true Democracy," Is the
Ulljr CAVU&v, wo piuuwuiivv ?i ? iiiuiv
iry dodge which is unworthy of his accopance.
It is nothing more than \vc have always
contended. Political expedients are always
lerogatory. We shared the negro out of government,
without regard to political principle
under the pressure of necessity.)
The sin, if it was a sin, redounded upon us.
We, the majority of us, were. In turn praetlsally
shared out of participation in public
iffairs for fourteen years.
The negro is docile uuder domination.
The Anglo-Saxon is restless under the uuust
assumptions ot rulers
In the history olSouth Carolina no ruling
lass has survived a quarter of a century's
existence without mortification.
The suppression of the negro vote by the
uperlor Intelligence and tract of the white
ninority was In time further improved upon .
>y ttie suppression of the majority of that
vhite vote. The expedient which coulcl be 1
afely practiced upon the negro, however, (
vas quickly recognized and repudiated when
urned against the white man. He might
idnilt Its salutary character when exercised
igalnst the black, but he never could consent
o it as against himself.
Hence the appeal of Judge Haskell and his
lefeated clique from the majority decision'of
nen of his own race to the more uudescemng
and malleable masses, as he imagines, of
he colored people.
And he invites their support now not that
hey may share with him in political power
>ut that they may belt) rivet upon the white
nnjority the same political disabilities as
hose under which their vote has been renlered
"passive," to use Judge Haskell's own
vord In his first manifesto.
The recent Democratic contest, against the
locislen of whlch|Judge*Haskell revolted, had
no rciHuiiu iu nit- rigiu t?i me urgro 10 vcue
uid the question was never thought of until
ifter Judt;o Haskell's action In appealiing to
he negro against his par:y. It was not until
ifter he took this reckless step that Tillman
md any occasion to make the foolish utterinoes
he did.
But submit the question on Judge Haskell's
>\vn grouuile, as one which has altogether to
lo with the right of the negro to vote: Tillman
may have threatened to prevent the negro
.'otlng. but, for fully a decade, under the
eglme which Judne Haskell appeals to him
to vindicate, his vote has had no more effect
lpon the affairs of this State than a passing
jreatli of wind. What Tillman threatened
hey have carried out to the utmost possible
imit.
rrom Philip Drunli to lMillip Sober,
"I am shocked to see this thing. An Independent
movement in Charleston Is not only 1
xeachery to that city, but to the State, and if!

Haskell on the Hip.
'It cuts the ground from under his feet!"
'It demolishes every argument he has
advanced for his present position!"
"Hoist by his own petard!"
"The coropletest boomerang I ever saw!"
These are some of the many congratulatory
expressions which we have received concerning
the Haskell expose which appeared In
these columns Monday.
In 1887, when Judge Haskell and his present
associates were supposed to be firmly
fixed in the seat of power as political dictates
of the State, he denounced an attempt in tills
city to have a free expression ?)i the will of .
the people in an election for municipal oliicers
as notonly treachery to that city, but to tlie
state; and hedeciared th.it if it was successful
would be repudiated by the State." To-day
Judge Haskell Is leading an Independent .
movement In Columbia and stan Is convicted '
out of his own mouth of treachery to tlie
Stale. i
"If for the sake of personal dislike to leaders,''
he said, "the Independents ruin the par
ty * * * they will he condemned by all j
the people of the State, they will he condemtied
by ail the people of South Carolina as traitors."
Judge Haskell has pronounced sentence tip- I
on himself, and stands to-day a self-condemned
traitor lo the people of South Carolina. i
In 1>77 he said "this [Independent! movementis
leading book to the condition of af- j
fairs from which they were rescued in 1870.''
In accepting his nomination as the head of
an Independent ticket In 1890, he says: "1 to 1
night represent the same principles?the duty
of a man to his country and his God?which 1
were represented ill 1870 by Wade Hampton."
Yet Judge Haskell has himself said that an
Independent movement will lead back to the .
condition of adults from which Wade Hump- *
ton rescued the.State in 1870. View it in any
lightyou please, Judge Haskell cannot mainlain
his present position and escape convict- j
ing himself of being either a l'ool, a lunatic,
uruliar.
In 1877 Judge Haskell said : "In South Caro- 1
Una It Is not a matter of local issues or personal
preferences; It Is a matter of life and 13
death." Yet In IS'JO he involves us in "a matter
of life and death'' on a question of purely
"personal preferences."
' There is only one way by which we can 1
hope to maintain honest (rovernment,and every
true citizen is bound to adhere to that," _
said he In 1S77: "the way Is to obey the voice nf
the majority of the Democratic party." ,J
ludge Haskell has not only disobeyed the
voice of the majority of the Democratic party,
but he basset, at defiance the voice, repeatedly
pronounced, of the majority of ills own
lactlon of that parly. In his own words, "he
is u deserter nod should be so treated."

Tlie Resistor Right.
"Why we cannot Support Haskell," is the
snptlon of the Columbia Register's leader,!
lowering nearly four columns, this morning.
The Register argues from the premises 1118t I
rillrnnn was allowcil to conduct his campaign
is a .Democrat and whb not read out ol thn:y
jarty at the outset, and is therefore entitled
,o the support of the purty whose nomination
ic secured.
"It says: "If the Tillman men, by their acion
in putting np a candidate outside of the
vsrnlar method ami organizing for his supiort.
placed themselves outside the Democrat
o pale, it was our right and duty, as Demo rats,
to declare them out of the party nnd to
neetthem as much under the lead of the regilar
organized Democracy."
Haviog failed to "read him out ot tlie party"
it consequence ol the action of tlie March
Convention in nominating him the Register
lolds that the so-called "Straigtnour niciion
annot Justly oppose him now, since his
10ml nation has been confirmed by the rcgjlar
organization.
This Is all popycoek. There never was
in.e when Tillman and the large majority of
voters in sympathy with the movement lor a
!hange could have beeu either practically or
.heoreticully 'read out of the party' for choosng
their own candidate. There is no known
principle of Democracy that could have prevented
Tillman from appearing before the
Democratic nominating Convention any more
:han It could prevent Earle or Haskell from
>o doing. /
However, for the rest the Register's article
sastrongone. It reviews the entire campaign,
notes and comments on all the silent 1
incidents and finds the Unskcllles wrong on r
jvery count.
It winds up with an appeal to every one to
Mick bv the party, contends that there is no
'sp'lt, and c.in be no split, that We the people i
>fSouth Carolina, refuse to give our consent
Lo," and bravely says "If that grand old party
must go down In South Carolina, we will go
lown wlih it. with its tattered banners In our 3
traspandour trust in God unshaken. No.
fellow Caioliniaus. the party of Jefferson, the
party 01 Charles I'lnekney, the party of AnJrcw

Ualhouo cannot go down in South < arollna,

Hn^ood Won't Follow Haskell. t
Barnwell Pejple. (
In a conversation with General Hagood t
r>n Monday he expressed hlmsell substantial- t
ly as stated below. To those of our readers
who may entertainjthe purpose to sustain the
Haskell movement we counncud his briel
but logical and unanswerable definition ol
the situation. The issues are so plainly
put Unit, ihe most artful sodhlstry or words
and argument can not blind any but those
who will not see to the danger and duty of
the hour. General Hagood said:
"The convention of the 10th of September '
closed the campaign as far us Ihe Democratic
party is concerned. Mr. Tillman and his associates
were nominated by an overwhelming
majority of t he party after a lull canvass
of the state. That action cured, in my Judgment,
the Irregularities that had occurred before
and any fuithcr resistance, no matter
by what name it may be called, appears to
me to be>iuiple independentlsm. While Mi.
Tillman was not my preference and while 1
did not approve the methods of his campalgne
and while 1 resisted within the lines of the
party his nomination 1 have accepted the
result In good faith and shall give him ray
support. In so doing 1 retain my own convictions
but acquiesce In the decision of the
people with whom I have sought to serve
the State during a somewhat lengthened
lite.
"I appreciate the cause of complaint of
those who have put lorth the Haskell ticket,
1 know their high character and unselfish
patriotism but to my mind their action is to
be deplored. If it i* a mere pretext ugalnst
Tillman and his methods, is the game worth
the caudle.
' If the ticket 5s put up to win It can only
be in fact by a coalition with the Republican*
however speciously disguised, and thus the ,
ignorant negro vote of south Carolina is. accepted
as the arbiter of her destiny, not oilly
In this crisis but for the indefinite fuuir<V'\
