4 The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. f?*Published every Wednesday at a year in advance. Wednesday, April 3, 1895. The "Forty." We publish full notes of the convention 01 the "Forty," to which is appended the re marks of Senator Tillman on the action <>l that body. Two things are notable: .vw- 1st. That it seemed difficult to keep the "Forty" from dividing or quarreling. 2d. That Tillman Is squareacralnst theaction of the "Forty." He seemed to see the shadow of a Trojan horse, lie thinks il the Forty succeed, that the convention may be turned over to the Antis, the poor white man disfranchised, and the old set restored to office, when the Keformers would be relegated to the rear, or words to that effect. senator Tillman is still ready to stump the Slate, in advocacy of the principles or plans which were formulated by the Peace Confer ence, of which he was the leading and iuspir ing spirit. Peace and harmony in the State is greatlj to be desired, but we do not see how any new plan is to be formulated that wonld be bettei than that which has been in vogue for tim( out of mind, namely: For the defeated fac tion, during the time being, to yield acquies cence to the rule ot the majority, when tfn leaders of the defeated faction could aligt themselves with the people, from whom al powers, all honors, and all preferments mus come. Or, if this plan is not acceptable t< the malcontents, why then let them alone and let them squirm and die hard, Ifthej aspire to be disturbing factors on the bodj politic, by ho doing they may in the end turr out to be public benefactors, and their effort) may result in much good, even if they nevei secure office for themselves. A little ajjita Hon purifies the waters, and anything is bet ter than stagnation. The Peace Conference may recommenc whatever they please, and then the peoph should, as they please, accept or reject theli suggestions. It the Peace Conference bad no met, does anybody doubt that the life anc death of the Forty would have already passec into ancient history.' Speaking for the Press and Hanner, we accept the plan of the Peace Conference wltl some degreeof misgiving. In the lirst.placc tue plan looks too much like bossism, tu< much like pressing down the throats of thi people a cut and dried dose, to swallow wind the people* must yield all independence o thought, while surrendering the primary ti the convention plan of nominations. I'nde that plan only men holding to particula principles would be eligible before the peopli to a candidacy for the convention. Allotb ers would be ruled oil the track, and as a con ucnnnnro thf> dfipfrntes to the State Conven tlon might not represent the sentiment of tin people. Free discussion and tree spealiinj Y would be at an end. The withholding from the people the ratifl cation of the new constitution appears to u to be a proposition of which the peopli should be afraid. J f that convention is madi up solely ol men who cau stand the measure mentof principles by the I'eace Conferenc yard stick, then it will be in the power c eighty-one men to fasten upon this State t constitution for the government of a millioi of people, and wulcb the million of pe?p! will have no power to endorse or rejecl ? Their hands will be tied. Their right to vot R will be denied, and they will be the veries subjects of a convention whose members it i ^ proposed to elect by nnheard-of and unprece dented methods. Who, in the history of thi country, has ever heard of a committee t gentlemen assembling at their own motioc within closed doors, aud secretly sigt ^ ing articles, going belore the people under th i-.-i" , name of peace, while presuming to tell ther to what principles their candidates must b pledged, aDd,as if to clinch the chains arouu their necks, tell the people that the must not question the right of a conventio *u ',0 ?V?/VL-a?* */-v H* thn /.nnct iflltinn nil t h state. The patriotism and wisdom of the membei of that Peace Conference is not to be que tioned. No man in the State of South Can lina could fairly claim to possess greater lov and fidelity to the honor and glory of thi Commonwealth than we yield to the indivh ual members of the Peace Conference. He for all that, we hold that they may be fallabl and that it is possible for them to make mistake. In the first place, Governor Tillman ha been elected to the I'nited States Senati This should retire him from State politic Or, at least, it retired Senator Hampton. 1 ltflW, when be spoke to our people on local po itics and local interests, it was held thatb was Intermeddling with allairs that did n< concern him. GovernorTillman having bee elevated to the exalted position of Unite States Senator, he is no longer a local polit cian. He should aspire to statesmanship. He has no divine right to dictate to this pei pie the qualification of members of theStai Convention. He has no right to assume I tell this people that they are untit to reject ( to ratify the constitution by which the should be governed. He has no right to expect the people of th iState to surrender their own judgment, the own preference, their own humble right I open their mouth in approval or.disapprove even of his own manifestos which have ltt?e drawn np behind closed doors. To show the utter and absolute absurdity i Governor Tillman's proposition to name tl qualification of delegates to.the convention would be only necessary to ask the peop what they would think of anybody attemp ing to fix the qualification of candidates 1< the House of Representatives. And if an; body would see, in all its hideous d formity, tlie monstrous fear of submi ting the constitution to the people, let hii see how the rule would apply to the electie of members to the Legislature. If he afraid of an election to raliry or reject tf constitution, why is he not opposed to su niittlug to the people the chances of electa of members to the Legislature? Wouldn't I be equally justifiable in proclaiming the da ger of having any more elections, and tin . ?. ,1 . 1. ? .,11 nii.l I .mrittlntn to suit liis own sweet will. One proposition just ns reasonable as the other. If the peop cau't be trusted to vote lor a coustitutio then they are unworthy to vote lor lawmal ers. There'lls no way out of this dilemm The facts are the same. The people are tt same. As for the "Forty," they literally aid not ing. as far as we can see. Tillman's actio will bring rebuke. The "Forty" will pro) > t he possibility of a quick breath and a sho life. Because or the deodorizing influem aristDK from the presence of the best of m tives, the carcass will hardly prove oftensiv even in the hot days of July. The membei of the "Forty," like the members of the Peat Conference, were patriotic, with as nob aims as everanimated the breasts of huma beings, but they have signally failed to si Tar river on lire. The people for a hundred years have bee freemen in South Carolina. Their good pra tlcal common sense bas brought them safel thus far. and we do not doubt their ability t take care of themselves in the future. Let the candidates come before thepeopli Let tliciu announce their principles,anil In i . ' the people, without personal dictation Iron anybody, vote for the men who most nearly represents their individual views. Let the people put the seal of their con demnation upon all candidates who seek ti stir up strife. I.et the people refuse to surrender thei , manhood to anybody. Let the self-respecting citizen demand i . pledge of all candidates that the constitutioi J will b>- submitted to the people for their rati I tication or rejection. j The public welfare is the great question fo the people, and there is none who will bette guard their own interests than tl>" masses c the people themselves.
