EDGEFIELD NEEDS HIM.
. * ?
The name of Tho?. H. Rainsford, of
Horns Creek, bas been frequently and
favorably mentioned in oar hearing
foe legislative honors. Many friends
of this gentleman would be glad to
sse him make the race for the House,
and we are sure he would have no
trouble in winning the prize. Edge
field will need just such a man in the
next Legislature as Tom Rainsford, a
man of intellect, character, and firm
ness.
CLEVELAND-STEVENSON.
These are the names to lead the
Democratic host to victory this
fall-Cleveland for President and
Stevenson for vice-President.
Cleveland is known and read of
all men, and, is unnecessary in
- these columns to give aught of his
antecedents or achievements.
. Stevenson is from the great State
of Illinois, and holds out the
promise of lifting that State out
of the mire of Republicanism in
the coming struggle.
Cleveland was not the choice of
a large number of South Carolina
Democrats, but he is the nominee,
and that settles the matter so far
as they are concerned. Cleveland
will get the electoral vote of this
State beyond peradventure.
The following editorial from the
New York Sun. hitherto an oppo
nent, gives the strongest reason
why, laying all differences aside,
Democrats all over this broad land
should support Cleveland :
, There is one question d epending
oh the election of the next Presi
dent which in its momentous im
vportance and vital imperativeness
must seem to every philosophical
observer to exceed every other
political question that the people
..are now called upon to determine.
All differences of opinion
respecting administrative reform,
or silver coinage, or free trade or
? protection, or personal qualities
or antecedents of candidates, in
short the whole ordinary array of
electoral controversias, are in
comparison inferior, indeed of
almost trivial moment. We mean
. the" question whether those
Southern States which have
inherited v a negro population
surpassing the number of their
white citizens shall, by Federal
law and Federal military force,
bo subjected to the political
domination of negroes; to negro
Legislatures^ negro ^ Governors
or'.i tether they shallj continu? toB
Sa governed kv white mr?". ?a n*^.

TT necess?^ot. enacting ana executing,
an; election law, whose purpose
. arid effect will be to put negroea
in control of fce Beveral Southern
States.Therew:l bes?me unwill
ingness on the part of a patriotic
, minority among Republicans, who
wiH revolt at th? consequences of
such a mesure, but their opposition
cannot avail. The necessity of tho
situation will suppress all such
resistance. A force bill is the first
and in vi table result of a sweeping
Republican victory in November,
On the other hand at?d by the
* nature and necessity of the .ideas
involved, the success of the Demo
cracy is death to the force bill
project. Killed in this election it
can never be revived,
"In this view of the contest what
conscientious ' Democrat can
.hesitate about his duty? Better
vote for the liberey and whith
government of the-Southern States,
even if the candidate were the
devil himself, rather than consent
to the election" of respectable
Benjamin Harrison with the force
bill in his pocket."
In an edi toral the Sun quotes
from the first two sections of the
platform down to the words "defeat
of force bill," and says : "This is
the esential part of the platform
on which Gover devland was
nominated at Chicago yesterday
morning, fairly, squarely, 'and
honorably, and by the votes of
more than two-thirds of the Demo
crtaic delegates."
Another editorial quotes the
fable of the fool at Philipi, who
gave advice to the Roman general,
Octavius, which was not. taken,
and commends the fable to the
attention of Wm C. Whitney with
the* suggestion that he keep his
.yes peeled.
Still another editorial Bays it is
. matter of great importance to
the Democracy of New "York that
Hill should continue at the head
of the army he has done so much
to organize, and says : "New York
De moerat? are with him in failure
?s in success, and he will be with
them as long as th are is political
principle to defend,-Republican
antagonists to outgeneral or an
.lection ? to carry for the Demo
cracy.
Tillman and Irby.
Ina telegran from Chicago dated
June 23, Thursday the special
correspondent of the Atlanta
Journal says :
"Governor Tillman speaking for
the South Caralina delegation, says
they will go home and support the
ticket and that the Palmetto State
will go for Cleveland.
Senator Irby says that, as chair
man of the State Democratic com
mittee, he is determined to make
the best effort of his life for Cleve
land, and that South Carolina
B^all remain with the solid South.
THE VIEW OF EUROPE.
Great Powers Congratulate the

Nomination.
London., June 24.-<-The Globe
say? : The two American parties
start on equal terms; each is
represented by its strongest
champions From an English
stand point the contest takes on
fresh interest by. the bold adoption
by the Chicago Convention of a
frank free trade programme.
Whether the new departure will
gain-or lose voteB remains to be
seen. The McKinley tariff law
seems to be considerably more
popular than it was when first in
troduced, the bountiful harvest
enabling the farmers to bear its
pressure without feeling squeezed.
The St James Gazette ?empares
the election issues in England and
the United States. It says that
neither the United Kingdom nor
the United States has advanced or
receded much since the last
electious. No politician has been
ingenious enough to invent an
effective new cry or to construct a
workable new platform. The fact
is that the great is&ues in these,
democratic countries ^are pretty
well settled. There is a bad out
look for the new rising politicians.
DESERVED PRAISE FOR CLEVELAND.
Lo?don, June 24-The Star
to-day contrasts the dignified
silence of Cleveland before and
during the Chicago. Convention
with the ostentatious wire-pulling
of Blaine and Harrison. Cleveland,
the Star says,-is the ^est type
of the American 'statesman. If he
daes not win in the election-it will
be because he is too sound a
reformer. A man proposing to
purify , the civil service naturally
makes enemies of the office-holders.
Formerly there were d?mocrate
who still clung to the Protectionist
id?as. The- effects, of the McKinley
traiff law won them aroundN and
all-sections of Democrats are now
united on the taiff reform pro
gramme. /
FRANCE CONGRATULATES THE DEMO
. CRATS.
Panis, June 25.-The press of
this city is delighted with the
n mii ation of Cleveland.
The Jonrnal D?bats says: '"Ehe
Democratic Convention ought to
be congratulated upon its choice.
Everything promises that Cleve
land will be elected. His opposition
to extreme protection makes us
hope that he will succeed."
The Gaulois-says : "The vote of
the Democratic Convention
promises victory at the polls."
THE FORMAL NOTIFICATIONS.
CHICAGO, June 24.-The committee
to notify Grover Cleveland of his
nomination will visit Buzzard Bay
to perform that duty ab?ut July

proceed to Bloomington, Ills, and

Governor Tillman on the Negro
- Vote.
Governor Tillman, of South
Carolina, does not hold the same
views as his colored fellow citizens,
although he is the farmers' can
didate. "Your correspondent
called on him at the capitol at
Columbia.
"Are you bidding for the negro
vote, Mr. Tillman?"
"No. I don't want it," was the
response, "The fact is the negro
vote is a frozen serpent, and I
mean to keep it so. There are
very few colored votes polled
nowadays, and I make no bid for
those."
"Are you imbued with the single
tax idea which seems to have taken
hold of the negroes?"
"No, sir, I don't know much
about it and there are not a hun
derd white men in the State who
do. The farmers want the tax taken
off land, not put on. My time is
taken up hunting out fellows who
don't return their stocks and
bonds. We tax them. Why, if I
advocate.a single tax I could not
walk across the street; the people
of Columbia would lock me up as
a lunatic."-New York World.
Senator Gordon of Georgia in a
recent public speech at- Gibson,
in that State, said: "Butg my
third party friends, you had as
well abandon at once the idea
that the government can make us
rich. If the government should
begin to-morrow distributing
greenbacks free of cost to the peo
ple, and in limitless, quantities,
it would not be long until your
money would would be worth no
more than your little third party
paper."

is thought that the gas generated
from the cargo of oil caused the
explosion.
