Criticism of tlie Press niul itiuiiicr
?The Press ?nd Itauner in Reply.
Bradley, S. C., July 11,1S1KJ.
Editor Press and Banner:
Will you please publish some of my objections
to your "oriel notes of the meeting on
Sale Day," which you claim to have made
"without notes."
Mr. Editor, your account seems to be very
one-sided and partisan, elevating and painting
one side, and disconnecting und thereby
misrepresenting the other.
This seems to be in striking contrast with
your able, courteous and impartial reports of
former meetings 011 Sale Days.
There must be something wrong with the
Press and Banner. Jt has so long had the
reputatiou of reporting public meetings fully
and fairly. "Equal rights to all and special
privileges to none." Why did it make so Illnatured
and partisan account of the meeting
on Sale Day ?
Its custom has been to give the words of a
speaxer and leave Its readers to torm their
own opiniou.
But on this occasion it confesses that it does
not give the words, but gives its recollection
of the ideas "without notes." Tills would not
be so bad if it treated both sides fairly. But
its words are smooth as oil when referring to
the anti speakers, and as fiery as vitriol when
referring especially to Mr. Benet.
You say editorially, that Mr. lienct delivered
an inflammatory speech, whose purpose
seemed to be the incitement of bad feeling
between our citizen*. This was startling
news to the hundreds who heard his speech,
and who had commended him for his moderation
and good humor under the irritating and
personal remarks and fliugs of the ami 1
speakers.
What inflammatory language did Mr. Benet ,
use?
It was the subject of general remark that
Mr. Benet spoke in the best of temper, and in
sharp contrast with the heat and bitter ieelinc
manifested by the amis.
Mr. Benet was asked alter the meeting why
he had let his opponents oil" so light, especially
when he could have reminded two of
tiieru, the Messrs. Graydon, that they were I
Haskeilites and bolters. And his answer was
that he dl.l not believe it right in a pHblic
speaker to make any personal references to
bis adversaries.
You are very much mistaken if you think
as you say, that tin- "Tilltnanitesof this coun- *
ty do not approve of the manner, the tone
and the temper of Mr. Benet's speech." <
I do not believe any speaker ever received
warmer compliments or stronger approval. ,
The TilJmauites have faith in Mr. Benet's
iairness anu luunuunii. jmj ??...?? i,v
not seeking popularity for be lias liaii tlmt for f
years. They know be Is the last man in the
county to think of "casting a tire brand"
' among our people.
And they are at a loss to account for the bitter
attack you have made on him, and the in- ,
creasing zeal with which you seem to pounce '
down with all your ability on the Reform
Movement and its supporters. Was it fair to
say in your very brief account that General
Hampton was scathingly relerred to, and
some of the old hero's recent utterances were
bitterly criticised? Mr. Benet said nothing
unkind of Hampton. He did criticise his remarks
in Washington recently, but without
bitterness.
But why did you suppress Hampton's recent
utterances? Did you not remember even
"without notes" that Mr. Beuet read an interview
of Hampton's in which he spoke of our
Democratic .State Convention as one of "socalled
Democrats," and that he spoke of our
Chicago delegation as one that misrepresented
the State?
Mr. Editor, can you conscientiously say you
gave a fair and impartial account of the meeting
on Sale Day ?
You quote Mr. \V. N. Graydon as saying,
"He thought the resolution condemning the
Joiniugof the names of the Presidential and
State candidates was unwise, unjust and impolitic;
that the humblest citizen had the
right to express his opinion as to the State
licsei, wane ik was everj i/cuiuvrais iraui'Hic
duty to support the nominees of the party."
Good Democracy, Mr. Editor, and I do hope
that every voter in South Carolina, especially
in Abbeville county, will vote for the nominees,
and that Mr. Gray don may stick close
to his text and practice what he preaches, for
General Hampton, whom he was defending,
says that an Iudependant is worse than a Hepublican.
So let's all stick to the ticket and
vote for the nomiuees. It matters not who
they are.
Mr.Edltor.it seems to me that the great
evil, the prime cause of all this wrangling
and hankering after ollicc (each side claiming
that the oflice is all the other wants,) might. .
be removed by the people, simply by voting
for prohibition and pledging our Representatives
to respect tiie will o! the people ia this
particular, and that they begin with the Governor
and reduce the salary of that office to
two thousand dollars; then take the whole
llwt. from (inveronr to Coroner and reduce (
them accordingly, abolishing some useless {
and unnecessary offices; then give us a tax of <
one dollar on every dog. Then, Mr. Editor, |
neither side would have to be salted down to (
keep them from lighting over State and coun- ,
ty offices. For if the Reformers are righting j
to hold the offices, what is the matter with j
the Conservatives? What do they want?
It is because they are out and they want in.
and are fighting to push the reformers off, if
possible, so they can get on, and if there were
no large salaries to get on the factions in this
State would not tight half so hard and things
would soon quiet down. I
Now, let's get the salaries down,and we will
have no trouble to keep things quiet.
Yours very respectfully, E. W. Watson. |
Tbe Press and Banner in Reply.
No reply Is needed to the above letter, in so
far as the Press and Banner is concerned.
We are ready to go to the jury on the facts.
In Mr. Watson's zeal to defend Mr. Benet,
he seems to forget that Mr. Benet made tbe
attack, aud went outside of the call of the
meeting to vent his spleen and spite while repeating
an oft-told tale of Hampton s sins
and Iniquities.
The meeting was called to ratify the nomi- |
nation of Cleveland, and he himself called
the meeting.
The similarity of a portion or our resolutions
and of the resolutions adopted at Chick
Springs are suggestive.
.4 t this meetiug wo suggest that personalities
were out of order, and the chairman
should have, In our opinion, called Mr. Benet
to order. It was no place for any one to vent
his personal dislike for anybody, and Mr.
Beuet's lugging General Hampton's name into
a Presidential ratification meeting was an
offence to good manners.
His criticisms 01 Cleveland and the recita
of his alleged errors was contrary to the usages
and practices of people who endorse
their nominees.
His criticisms of the faction of the Democratic
party from which he has so lately renounced
his allegiance was unjust and unworthy
of any man of Mr. Beuet's intelligence.
If Mr. Benet had not made his speech, the
resolutions would have passed, without the
excitement of any bad feeling.
If he had not made his speech neither McGowan
nor the Gray dons would have spoken.
They spoke only in reply to Mr. Bend's assault,
and there would have been no necessity
for their speeches if Mr. Benet hud kept I
within the call of the meeting.
The resolution which ratilled the nomination
of Cleveland was all right, and theadop- '
tion of that resolution was all that the meet
ing was called for. The tacking on of otaer resl
olutions with the writing of which it is presumed
Mr. Benet had something to do, and
his assault on Cleveland In support of them,
and his kindness in pointing out the errors
and mistakes of those upon whom lie has so
lately turned his back were out of place, and
the passage of those extra resolutions were of
course iutouded to detract from one faction of
the Democratic party, while it might give a
corresponding advantage to the oilier faction
We leave it for others to say whether or not
it was taking unfair advantage of nelghbois
to call an alleged ratilleation meeting, and
then take charge of it for factional purposesj
and turn it into something entirely diflerent
from the call.
We repeat, if Mr. Benet had remained silent
sion, without abusing Hampton, without
maligning Kheppard anil Orr, witiiout arraigning
Cleveland, and witiiout giving advice
to those who had not asked tor it,
the resolutions would have been passed
without the excitement of any bad feeling.
He threw a tire brand into the meeting, and
he alone is rcspooslbio for any bad l'ccling.
Old chestuuts about Hampton and the intermeddling
with the actions and business of
the faction that honored him in the past, will
not be an effective means of holding his old
friends up to public ridicule.
As to the temperance dodge, whereby it is
proposed to distract attention from the Tillman
and autl-TllIman business, we tried
Mr. Benet once on that line, and it is possible
that some of our people recollect what he did I
