Time Brings Its Bevenge"-A
Prediction.
Greenville Democrat.
"Time brings its revenge," and
"politics" not only makes strange
^.bed fellows," but does a great
ff many other strange things. One
of the strange things, as well as
one of boldest piece Of. assumption,
' and presumption, to be found
among all the remarkable events
of the last -campaign, is to be
found in the appropriation of the
name of "Straightout Democrats"
by the Haskel 1-Ha mp ton faction,
or more properly speaking, the
"Independents" in this State. It
is but right and proper to call it
,_.ihe "HaskeU-Hampton faction,"
or Independents, for that is the
ijgpper name now unless we go
" back and give them the name that
neral Gary used to- call them
% and that was "the fusionists."
r General Gary waa the real leader
% of the Straightout Democracy in
?876, for" it watfhe who forced that
plan of campaign-first in Edge
field, and then in the State, and
but for his individual, heroic
efforts, the State would not have
been redeemed in 1876. He defined
"Straightout Democracy" as "a
white man's party fighting for
white supremacy" in South
Carolina.
It was in pursuance of this
* policy that he called the 12th of
August, 1876, meecing, at Edgefield
which decided the course of the
campaign ; for it not only decided
the action of the State Convention
in nominating a straight ticket,
but was followed up so vigorously
by . Geo. D. Tillman and others,
at Blackville and Newberry, that
Chamberlain was driven out of
the field before Hampton got into
it at Anderson and the fact is that
Hampton never had any real
fighting to do, but was carried
around on the shoulders of. our
> people, while General Gary
remained at Edgefield with seven
?- companies of United States troops
:' to contend with, but carried the
election after spending $3,000 of
his own money by such am j or i ty
as secured the election in the
State. After the election Hampton
. claimed that he had united the
whole people-white and black
|by his f'concilatory policy, and
that his election was due to 18,000
"negroes, whom he said has voted
for him, thought Straightouts like
. Boh Toomba and Mart Gary
thought that" bribery and intimi
dation, pure and simple," did the
work.
' After, the election Hampton
became the outspoken, advocate of
the "fusion policy," ?. e., of taking
all the negroes we could get into
the Democratic party, and allowing
them- to vote in our primaries,
conventions etc.. This is history,
as reference to the speeches of
Hampton, Hagood, Connor and
Dawson, at Blackville, in May,
1878, will show. General Butler
answered these speeches from
"Stonelands," in Edgefield county,
soon after, but erelong he had
reconciled his differences and
joined, the fusionists in their
campaign through the State, while
his old friend, .General Gary was
. soon given the cold, shoulder by
the executive committee, because
he asserted the principles of white
supremacy too strongly at Green
ville, and was forever left out in
the cold. They even violated all
fairness and party precedent and
principle in 1880 to secure the
election of Hagood and to prevent
Gary from having a chance before
the people. General Gary died in
1881 and was prevented from going
before the people in 1882, as he
had intended to demand a Straight
out primary election and time mov
ed along with Ned McCrady's eight
box law, until the old straightout
followers of General Gary found
another leader in B. R. Tillman,
who claims to be as he is, "the
political child of Gary."
The Tillman party had boldly
announced the principle of "White
gnpremacy," or gtraghtont De
mocracy" and as soon as it became
evident that he was about to carry
the State, the Haskells foolishly
brought Hampton down to "divide
time" with Tillman, and to dictate
tbeu politics of the State, though
he was no candidate. Haskell the
socalled Straightout was charging
around hurrahing for Hampton,
and insulting the invited guests of
Columbia and Richland, by groans
and hisses for "rotten Democracy,"
B R. Tillman was nominated
however, by the regular Democracy,
when, presto, change, the immacu
late^Haskell flies the Democratic
T?lMi" I "ii ll
track, bolts the whole party, ap
peals to the negro, votes for Ensor
and at last is thrown, very heavily
in the November races, although
he is a Straighout Democrat
Hampton could not, pr would not
condemn his jtpostacy, so down hf
goes, and the real "white supre
macy .w Straighout Democracy,ian
at last in possession of the part}
and State.
Shade of "Mart Gary," when
wert thou, when Alack Haskel'
waa calling himself a Straightou1
Democrat while running on ?ar
Independent ticket, appealing t<
the negro, and voting for Ensor
Surely thy spirit must have beer
abroad in the State, in 1890, whei
thy friends were contending for th?
principles to which you had giver
birth and life, but for which other!
reaped the reward. A derisive
smile must have passed over thj
face, when these men called them
selves "Straightout Democrats;'
and when Hampton fell, tell us
Oh! friend of former days! wh(
loved the State so well? who did e<
much, and received so little? Wai
it fate, the triumph of principles
a just retribution, or simply th<
voice of the people? One cac
easily recall that proud and gal lani
form as it waa seen, too often
alone, when everybody seemed U
worship only at the Hampton
Haskell shrine, and when, lik<
Eome undaunted gladiator, tha
clarion voice was heard in th<
Senate, battling against the Radi
cal fraudulent debt, which wai
saddled on the State, and contend
ing for principles which have sinc<
triumphed. '
They refused the recognition am
reward which you had fairly won
and all too soon, you were laid ii
the grave-though time ha
brought its revenge."
Looking to the future and re
Imembering that "history repeati
itself," and that the example o
Independentism has already beei
set, we may rest assured, fron
what we already see, that this fae
tionwill drift back to the oh
Hampton idea, and the negro wil
be appealed to to decide the con
flict between the regular Straught
out Democrats and these Inde
pendent "Fus ionists." The"Thir
teen" have already appealed an<
surrendered to the Independent
and they are preparing to ignor
the regular Executive Committe
and to run a separate schedule o
their own. Any excuse will b
goodenough for men who hay
already made up their minds tha
neither principles nor party shaj
govern their actions, unless th
nomination is made to suit then
It has more than once been hinte
that "the gentlemen would hav
I to use the negro to control th
' State"-a vile heresy to the whit
?race and the principles of whit
j supremacy.
Our people may as well look ouj
for the issue will soon be upon ut
and if as it seems probable, th
attempt ie made we must make thj
campaign for straightout Demoq
racy and white supremacy B<
memorable that it shall be th
lastef fort to negroLze the State. I

' wlhere the land of Nod was, whither
Cain went after he slew his broth jr
Abel. Where did Cain find a wife ?
' From some old records dis
covered in the city of Nineveh,

Nod means exile, or that Cain
went into exile. Tradition sayeth
I he went into the land of Eraz and

Tradition also saye th that Cain
1 was forgiven by God, and the mark
? set upon his forehead was the sign
of forgiveness. The curse was:
1 'A fugitive and a vagabond shalt

} repentance of his heart and. for?
? gave him ; bnt he did not allow
' him to live with his kindred, foi

him.

A DANGEROUS GAME OF BLUFF.
JfervjpDIsplayad br a Tnaatrtoal Manager
la ? Foolhardy v cat. .
?Sam T. Jack la a' splendid bluffer,"
said a gentleman from Kansas .yester
day. "I remember him best when he
was traveling through Kansas with a
burlesque road company. He once struck
Dodge, City with a big opera bouffe
troop. It was years ago, when. Dodge
City was. at the very verge of civiliza
tion-just hanging on to the edge, as it
were. There was no regular show
house, and no decent hotel. There
plenty of money, though, and that
brought Jack and his company. The
town was full of cowboys and roughs,
and they all determined to see the show
and incidentally have some sport with the
management.
"Mr. Jack learned this and realized the
necessity of impressing the natives with
a due sense of his awfulness as a fighter
before the show began. At that time
one Peter McCarthy was the deputy
sheriff of Dodge City, and was a reason
ably efficient officer. For this reason it
was that he felt in duty bound to warn
Mr. Jack of the awful possibilities of
exhibiting himself on the streets, of
Dodge City in a white ping hat and a
fancy vest. The well meaning deputy
sheriff affected to despise tenderfoot
bnt because of this feeling of official
responsibility - which sentiment was
doubtless more thoroughly aroused at
the thought of a possible free seat at
the show-he started in to give Jack
timely warning, and began his remarks
as follows:
M '.Bs yon the show bossf asked Pete,
.Vi am, sh*,' was the reply.
" Ton all allow to act ont in the town
hall tonight I reckon?
" Tes, sir.'
* 'You goin y'sel?
** Yes, sir/
" 'Be you goin to rustle around town
much in thet thar white stovepipe hat?
'Well,' said Mr. Jack, who had be*
eome tired of being catechised, *if yon
will submit your questions in writing
provided y on can write-I will lay off a
? day and frame my answers for you, but
let me ask a question. Why do yon want
to know whether I will rustie or no, and
why this pointed reference to my
Greeley hat?*
** 'Wall,' responded the sheriff, a tittie
hot himself, "canse I kern in hyer to
give yer a pointer; ef you do war thet
hat down town the boys are a-waitin
fer yer and they'll shoot it chock full o'
holes. They dont low no sech tiles In
Dodge.' Pete then looked at Sam as
much as to say that he thought the hat
would not be worn. But the sapient
I Sammy smiled serenely and said, 'That's
the trick, is it? Well, that's funny.
Now, if the boys in highfalutin hilarity
should miss the hat and hit the wearer
what would be the result/
'Yon joutstan your chancee, but 1
reckin y* wont do that-it's kinder
ticklish; not but thet the boys ar? good
shots, bat the likker is a kinder lively
an-an-wall, they m ought raise a little
ha'r, you know-see?'
*t 'Just 60,' said Sam as he continued
writing. When he had finished he
turned to Pete, and holding in his hand
a sheet of paper asked that genius if. he
could read it Pete could and did.' It
read as follows:
: I WILL STIOOT rna MAN WHO - ;
: Dxnta TO SHOOT THIS HA*. :
** ?Now,' said Mr. Jack, T will be going
to Wells, Fargo's & Co.'s office, near the
depot, in jest ten minutes-and I go
loaded always. I will wear this paper
thus'-and he pasted the sheet to tbs
front of his hat 'AH the boys can see
it Tell those who will dare to shoot-if
any-that they had better shoot for
blood.1 Pete's jaw dropped at the ulti
matum of the tenderfoot and the latte fe
display of nerve. The upshot was that
the manager wore his tall white Greeley
bat-and wore his cartridge belt and
guns. The boys were congregated out
side the House of Blazes, to care for their
hides-and a feeling of respect for the
nerve of the wearer prompted them to
applaud at his action instead of shooting
at his hat, and that night he hung out

Ships Wrecked In Fair Weather.
Very few persons know the number ol
ships that have never been heard from
after leaving port: In Great Britain
alone, in 1878-4, there were 80 vessels

careful investigation of causes of wreck
age shows many causes and unexpected
results. Among other general princi

one-half the wrecks occur when the

Benjamin Piper, an old pioneer! j of
Jefferson county, Wis., ned a thrilling
adventure with a pack of wolves. ? It
was one evening while he was matting
his way from Watertown, on foot Tl 1 ere
was snow on the ground, and it had List
ed long enough to make wolves unusu
ally fierce and savage with hun; ter.
Piper had been warned -by friendu in
Watertown not to attempt tiie trip; but
he told them that he had not the slight
est fear. Numerous large timber wolves
had been seen near these same forests
through which Piper had to pass, mit as
they had hot yet ventured to attack; any
one, little attention had been paM to
their presence. Bnt - now, in their des
perate hunger and while lurking ' about
for something to prey upon, some of
them had discovered Piper, and.1 at once
set np a howl for ihr companions. But
Piper was utterly indifferent to their
howls and walked boldly along.
Suddenly, jost as he turned a sharp
comer of the Roadway among thedense
timber, a large gray wolf walked across
the road slowly and deliberately about
two rbds ahead 'of him and then turned
and. leisurely recrossed to the sids from
where it came, swinging its tail aloft,
and with the hair raised on its neck. It
also howled in a dismal manner, at if to
harry ap itt companions, whose answers
now began to come from many direc
tions. Piper marched utraight aheacl ae
if nothing had happened, save thal; he
picked np a good sized dub, intending
to throw it at the animal should it ap
proach him again. A moment later the
same wolf trotted ont from the brush
! mnch nearer to him than before, and
Piper hurled the olnb at the animal with
amendons force. But quickly stepping
aside and dodging the weapon, the wolf
planted itself in tile middle of the road
and was not disposed to move any farther,
but showed its teeth savagely and uttered
more howls for its companions.
? T>ESTERATE SITUATION.
Piper now began to get frightened.
He gathered sticks and stones and hurled
j them at the wolf until it was glad to get
( ont of his way and lot him proceed. But
he knew from the sounds still coming
behind him that a pack of the animals
was on his trail and he would need to
make haste or they would soon overtake
him. He was a strong man and very
fleet bf foot.' bat ho had had no expecta
tion of winning against a lot of wolves
in a foot race-, should they determine to
pursue him. So be concluded that be
must at once bring all his wits into play
! and, if possible, deceive them. The for
est trees around him were rather small
to ' climb and be safe among their
branches, and he did not relish the ides
of being kept np in a tree all night in
spch cold weather.
The desperateness of the situation
called to his mind a singular cave con?
faining two narrow openings, and he
concluded that it might afford him pro
tection and give him a chance to defend
himself. So away he hurried for the
cave. It was now long af ter dusk, bat
the moon shone brightly, yet owing to
the shadows of the trees Piper experi
enced considerable difficulty in finding
the entrance to the cavern. Before
crawling into the narrow passageway
he secured a large, heavy club to use
should the wolves attempt to follow him
into his retreat. He. was scarcely habit
dozen feet inside ere he heard their hor
rible howls near the entrance, and saw
their eyes like balls af fire glaring on
him from the outside.
At first they seemed disinclined to
follow after him, apparently fearing a
trap, bat finally the boldest one started
inside, and then all squeezed themselves
into the opening until it was jammed
tight.
A BAD HALF HOCE.
As the forward wolf came within hfe
reach, Piper pounded it with his clut
until it was utterly disabled, but thc
1 great pressure of those from behind con
stantly brought the heads of others neara
and nearer. Piper never stopped fight
ing, bat whacked and beat and gouged
and disabled wolf after wolf as thej
came within reach. But at length thc
entrance became so perfectly filled wit!
wolves that they could neither get for
ward nor 'backward, while their savage
howls resounded in the narrow place
with such deafening effect that it made
Piper tremble, and his sole thought wai
to get out and away from them.
Groping around wita his hands hi
found soma good sized, loose stones, with
which he hastily filled into the opening
jost in front of the wolves as tightly ai
he could pack it, and then, with club ic
hand, he crawled along and sought exil
at the opposite entrance to the cavern
The dismal darkness prevented him from
seeing anything, and it was some tim?
before he found the way out The
wolves did not know, or else had forgot
ten, tins entrance, and Piper left them
still howling with fury crowded into th?
narrow month of the cave at least sixty
yards away from where he had emerged,
He now made his way to the road again,
and two hours later had reached home.
A few days later he visited the cavern,
bat found nothing save a few bones, th?
dead and wounded wolves having been,
as he supposed, eaten up by their raven
ous companions.--Cor. Chicago Intei
