The Prohibition Convention of Illinois has passed a resoiulutiou in favor of the free coinage of sil ver at a ratio of i G to 1. Did you evor? Gen. Fi.zbugh Lee of Virginia has been appointed consul general to Cuba in place of Williamsjvho has resigned. Mr. Williams has; held the office for .twenty-two (^B^^ears. Rev. Diaz, the noted native Cu-1 ban Baptist evangelist has been arrested in Havana by the Span ish government and imprisoned. As he is a naturalized American citizen our government has de manded for him a fair trial, and the Baptists in the United States] are raising funds to secure able counsel to defend him. It is more than suspected that in Edgefieid county the conserva tives are clinging to their faotion, banded together as before. We have advised a broader brother hood, a breaking down of faction al lines. But if the conservatives won't have it be it so. We aro sorry that the calumet of peace has no charms for them. We be- | lieve there should be a mutual grounding of arms on both sides, but it must be genuine or weeds will choke and kill the flower of confidence. For the Presidential nomination at the Chicago convention on the 7th of July, Pennsylvania will present ex-Gov, Pattison ; Illinois, Col. William ll. Morrison; Indi ana, Gov. Claude Matthews, Ohio. ex-Gov. Campbell ; Iowa, ex-Gov. Boiie; Kentucky, Secretary Car ligle ; Massachusetts, either Sec retary Olney or ex-Gov. William E. Russell ; Wisconsin, Senator Vilas, and Michigan, ex-Poslmas ter-General Dickinson. It will be seen that theie is not likely to be a dearth of Democratic candidates at thc Chicago Convention. In addition to the above, South Carolina may present the name of Senator Tillman, if, in .the inte rim., be has not bolted and taken to ?he woods. ^^T?llman in thc West. Tillman has spoken during the past week in Denver, Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri, and always to large and demonstrative audi ences. In all of these speeches he reiterates again and again that he is a democrat. This does'nt look like a belt-the greater fool he if he should bolt, with a victory for free silver already in the clutches of the Democratic party. We do not believe Tillman will bolt. Have Given It Up. The-Nev. York gold-bug papers have practically admitted that the Chicago Democratic convection will be controlled by the silver el ement of the ;.jarty by probably a majority of one hundred. Even the News and Courier of this State says (italics ours) under the head "Silver Will Control" that, "if tho sound money men control the Convention they are are like ly to nominate Cleveland, no mat ter what kind of letters the Presl dent may write. All this talk however, of Cleveland and Car ?8e, Russell and Pattison, is bas ed on the contingency that the sound money men will have a ma jority of thc Convention. At prevent, it is the bitter truth to say, tJiis looks eztrenn I j doubtful." .The New Yolk world of Monday says: "It is daily becoming more evident that only the most vigor ous campaign from now on can prevent the silver men hom coa trolling the Democratic conven tion at Chicago. Of the eighty eight delegates already elected all exctpt five are for free silver. The first to be chosen were from the District of Columbia, of whom 4 are fer free silver and 2 doubtful. Missouri's 34, the S from Colorado^ from Oregon, and the 22 from Alabama will be solid for free silver. Will bc No Bolt. Hon. J. T. Aust.n of Greenville Was in the city yesterday. When asked by a Register reporter how the voters of Greenville Counly stood with reference to thc propos ed bolt, he said there would bc no bolt. "But," persisted the report er, "if there should be a bolt, what will they rjo?" "But," reiterated Mr. Austin, "there will be no bolt."-Register.

We clip the following editorial from the Denver, Col., Da ly News. Il shows what is thought of Till man in that Populist and Repub lican stronghold. "Denver extended a Avelcome to Senator Tillman lust hight, non partisan, spontareous and splen did in proportions. As Mayor Mc Murray gracefully said, it was be cause the senator had dared to stand for the right in the highest forum of ihe country that he, a Republican mayor in Colorado, extended a public greeting to a Democratic senator from South Carolina. It was for that reason that 'thousands of. Republicans, Populists and Democrats, men and women, stood shoulder to shoulder last evening. Senator Tillman has been a participant in many magnificent gatherings, and the central figure in not a few, but his heart must have swelled with just pride when he faced the multitude that came to bid him welcome to a state-in which he has never be fore set foot, and which honored him solely because of his advoca ! cy of those immortal principles on which alone the fabric of thc nation may securely rest. There is no narrow sectionalism in the breasts of the people of the West. The patriot, from wherever he may come, hers finds himself at boxe. In this broadness of feel ing, this recognition of the identi ty of interest of the people, wheth er they be of the North or the South, the East or the West, is as surance of the eari ?st American ism that is planted deep in tho great heart of the country, and which will in the end redeem and preserve the republic. Abbeville All Right. Mr. J. Townes Rober!son of Ab beville is au original Farmers' Movement Reformer. No man in South Carolina has been more loy al to the principles of the move ment, or more disinterested in his advocacy of them. It was such mon as he who first gave the move ment dignity, force and character. M;\ Robertson is in Columbia at tending the meeting of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Honor. A Register reporter asked him yesterday how Abbeville stood on thu bolt, question, and he said Ab beville was usually level-headed and conservative and to be de pended on to do tue right thing; tho present emergency offered no exception to the rule; Abbeville is go ng to stick to the Democratic party. He said there were some hot heads there as elsewhere, but cool counsel would prevail. The principles enunciated and defen-: ded by The Register, he remarked, found general acceptance in Abbe ville County.-Register. Standing to Their Colors. "he Yolk County Democratic executive committee met in the Court House cn Monday 13th in stant, pursuant to a call recently peut' out by Chairman J. S. Brice. Eleven of the twenty-one precincts were represented. A considerable amount of routine business was disposed of and among other th'iogs tho fixing of the time "for electing delegates to the county convention ard the. time for held' ing the latter. The delegates will be elected on May 2, and the con- i vent'on held on Monday, the 4th. ; Judging from Chairman Brice's remarks, after the time for bold ing the convention had been fixed, i ic would appear that he is a Thom as Jefferson and Andrew Jackson Democrat, and proposes to remain true to the party, regardless of its action either in the State or Na tional Convention. He spoke of the importance of the county con vention. Its principal object ho said, will be to elect delegates ti? the State Convention. This State Convention will elect delegates to ; the National Convention, and ii . has been suggested that an effort will be made to instruct those del egates to bolt the National Con vention in the event it fails to adopt a silver platform and nomi nate a free coinage man for Presi dent. "Speaking for myself," he said, "I will say that I am a free silverite. I believe it is the best thing for the whole country, and especially for the South. I shall work for free silver and shall lose no opportunity to do anything I can fer it; but before anythiug else I am a Democrat. I have al ways been a,Democrat and expect to remain one. Gentlemen, I for one will not bolt. Come what may, it is my intention to vote for tho nominees of the Democratic party whoever they may be. This, in my opinion, is the only way wo can have a Democratic party. If we vote as Democrats to send dele gates to the county convention sands delegates to the State Con vention, and the State Convention ?end delegates to the National Convention, it seen.s to me that whether we approve of such ac tion as the National Convention may take or not, we are morally bound by itali the same. But take the other side of the proposition. Suppose wo bolt at the National Convention, have we not the right to bolt the action of the State or county convention1' Theo how can we call ourselves Democrats? There will be a new par'y organi zation to take our place, and we will be down aud out. No, our fathers before us were Democrats. Their principles were right. We advocate the same principles, and though the majority of the parly may, for a'tim?, go wrong, we are not justified in bolting. Let us accept the resuU, whatever it may be, s:tick to thc party of our fath ers, and hope and work for a change of sentiment that will i ring the party back lo its pro por principles." "The Demoer icy." says the Chi cago Chronicle, "will take its chances in the Presidential el<>c tion of this year sustained by the consciousness of its own integrity. It will oppose McKinley and Mc Kinley ism as earnestly and sin cerely in 1S96 as it did in 1890. The parly will pay its way for j legitimate expanses, though it can fry no fat from tariff benefited corporations, lt may be beaten, but it is not di-?rna}-ed. In the comparatively brief history of the Republic it has seen parties rise and resign and fall. It will abide when a baffled and discredited op position will in desperation seek to repudiate McKinleyism as an excrescence. When schemes of I spoliation cf all the people by act of Congress for the benefit of some few of the people shall no longer be deemed even pseudo statesman ship the Democratic party will still have its mission, lt has al ways been, it always will be, the champion and guardian of person al and religious freedom, the peo ple's mighty fortress against the assaults of Socialism, Anarchism, and imperialism," and Republi canism-the hash of all other "isms." Discouraged Democrats in this part' di the country and in this Stete should derive fresh in spiration of faith and courage from tho loyal Western papnr's true aud timely reassertion of the party's principles and its prophet ic promise of their ultimate victo ry over all the evil policies array ed against them. Ko Democrat who is worthy of the. name, who knows what Democracy mean*, ever wavers in his allegiance to his party, or in his conviction of the righteousness of its political creed. None will waver this year. A "V" ?SALL 1T COSTS/ FOR SOLICITOR. MR. EDITOR: Please announce the name of Hon. .7. Wm. Thurmond as al candidate for Solicitor of the Fifth Circuit.
