Norry Speclaclc.
Charleston Is making a sorry spectacle of!
herself In going to war In supi ott of 1 lie law- 11
less characters of the city, who would annul j |
the Statmes of the Slate. Charleston has so |
long rated this State by a wl-e and Judicious |i
coarse that she may now think she can do the j1
aame;tbing by force,but whena creat city like! |
Charleston aligns herself with the woist e!e- j
menl of the town as against the l<pal and | *
recognized civil authority of the State she j
will find the error of lt?-r way. If Churl -ston
la, however, seeking for TlllmuuV re-election '
fora third term, then she Is purbuln/ the]
proper course. The law will be enforced |
even if It take6 Tillman to enforce it. There
is just no u*eof talking about the Charleston
liquor mob ruling South Carolin:t. This newspaper
would sooner be ruled by any luwfu!
authority than by a liqnor mob, even If that
mob was supported by the dally m-wspsipers
of the State.
Tillman spoke foolishly and Indisoreilelj !
about the barkeepers and their associates of
Charleston, but It U to be hoped that therein
no dlsoouut on his determination to shut up
the blind tigers of that city.
????? ?
Tillman Is notour Ideal of a Governoi.but
we regard him Infinitely better tbau barkeepers
who attempt to defy the iuw.
