DEMOCRTIC TICKET,
FOR PRESIDENT.
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN,
OF NEBRASKA.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
ARTHUR SEWALL,
OF MAINE.
Bryan's course through the "West
was one grand triumph.
A Free-silver daily newspaper
will shortly be started in Chicago.
Bryan and McKinh y aro both
remarkable fine looking mon so
that whether Democracy or Re
publicanism triumph we shall
have a handsome president in the
White Houso.
According to the New York Times
Bryan made as big a "bust" in
New York as Tillman did in Chi
cago, and Tillman was there to en
joy if, too. But you can't put any
dependence in the statements of
an!i papor3. If you want the troth
you must 30 to a reform paper like
the ADVERTISER.
Tho Spartauburg Herald edito
rially says: "A citizen of this
Slate in New York recently Coat
ing some bonds. There in a broker's
office he chanced to meet Mr. Colin
Rhind, of Augusta, Ga. At the
ri?k of seeming impertinent the
Sou til Carolinian asked Mr. Rhind
how much Tillman and Evans did
get. Rhind replied promptly that
"Tillman didn't get a cent. John
Gary Ev.aus'has already gotten
TWELVE THOUSAND DOL
LARS. He has not gotten all that
he expects, but the exact amount
yet to como has not been deter
mined." ?
The meeting of- tho State candi
dates at Union Monday was a tame
affair with one exception. Duncan
was more severe and aggressive in
his attracks on the pure and im
maculate Evans, the man without
any Bense of shame and without
indignation when reproached. Dun
can wrote ou a slip of paper words
to thiB affect : uIf Mixon says that
I told him that Tillman lined his
pockett with rebate money, he is a
liar." This paper he read to Ev
ans and flaunted in his face and
dared him to sign his name to it.
Evans bad been denying it and
saying he was a lie, but he was
afraid to sign his name to the
statement.-Ex.
Mr. Mixson Should Explain.
Editor Register : I have always
.been a Reformer and I am ready to
d") my dut/ in this line now. I
am ready to vote for the man I
think would represent my party
best, but I am not willing to vote
for any mari who has the least
stain upon him, or the appearauce
of it. I owe to my family and my
country first duty, and a duty that
calls forth my best manhood. We
have plfnty of men in the Reform
party who are the best men in the
State, and who would lose their
right arm before they would vote
for a man who has a hurtful
charge against him, and will not
press parties who ara in possession
of facts to come out with them. I
am read}' to vote to-day for Gover
nor Evans if he would force Mr.
Mixson to say if all of the charges
made by Mr. Duman are false
ho owes this to himself, and he
owes it to us. Mr. M?son, who is
irom our country, owes us more.
Ho is from among us; hellas no
more right to hold evidence that
belongs to the people than he has
to hold money in public trust ; nei
th?r has he any right to hold to his
office and hide crime if there is
any crime. He should either turn
over to the peoplo the office that
belongs to them or the evidence. I
call upon him to set us right, and
say if any of the charges made hy
Mr. Duncan in reference to re
bates are true. Mr. Mixson must
come down with the facts.

? Startling
Disclosure.
A CHARGE MADE AGAINST
GOV. EVANS WHICH HE
DENIES,
BUT INCIDENTALLY FURNISHES
OTHER GROUND FOR BELIEVING
THAT CHARLESTON'S VOTE IS FOR
SALE TO A RESPONSIBLE BIDDER
FILTHY POLITICS.
Since the campaign began, news
paper correspondents who have
been going around with the aggre
gation have heard a variety of more
or less startling reports. In many
instances they have been assured
that some competent witness would
present himself at an opportune
moment to present facts in such
shape as to exclude the possibility
of successful denial or evasion.
But this evidence, whether it did
not exist, or because a dishrag was
doing the part of a backbone for
the witnesses, or that the disease
known as moral cowardice has? be
come alarmingly epidemic in Sou' h
Carolina, these confiimatious have
failed to materialize.
The newspaper correspondents
have bet-u furnished with the fol
lowing statement of alleged facts.
For one of the three causes given
above I do not expect a confirma
tion from the witnesses named
it would be against precedent.
Here is the statement :
A DEAL ALLEGED.
"On Saturday night of the Ma
rion meeting, Governor Evans re
turned home, arriving in Colum
bia about 10, and wont directly to
the mansion, where, at ll o'clock,
he was joined by a delegation of
five German citizens of Charleston ,
viz : vVehman, Kroeg, Roesler, sud
Stelling-the fifth, don't know.
This committee remained with him
till 2 o'clock and took the early
morning train back to Charleston.
They went to Columbia on a writ
ten invitation from the governor,
who made this proposition : 'You
organizo a German club in the
city of Charleston of 500 mem
bers who will vote for me for the
United States Seuate. I will guar
antee the Germans of Charleston
private dispensaries. In evidence
of this Stelling has been canvass
ing the city in that interest, and
none of these gentlemen will deny
these facti?, as it is too well known
in the city to admit of deu:al.
Wehman, particularly, will admit
itali."
Gov. EVANS' DENIAL.
Gov. Evans was given an op
portunity to affirm or deny this
report simultaneously with -its
publication. He said:
"That ie a lie: I have not seen
those men since the opening of the
campaign. They did come to see
me some days before the campaign
opened and met me at my office
they never were at my house. They
asked me what I was going to- do
about Charleston.^ I told them
as I said the time of put{iug orf
the metropolitan police-that if
by that method I was unable to en
force the law, I would take it off
and recommend to the legislature
some special law for Charleston.
It would be foolish to continue at
tempting to enforce the law with
present machinery if it is impossi
ble to do so."
If.he had desired to trade fer
Charleston',* votes, said the gover
nor, he would have done so long
ago, with men who offered to de
liver the goods and were able lo
do so-and the governor named
two old line Charleston ringsters
who had made him a proposition
to deal.
NEEDS OVERHAULING.
So it seems that wi her or not
Charleston has been recently
bought or sold, her votes have been
on the market -offered by her
bosses for a stated consideration,
just as the suffrage of ignorant la
borers, who can hardly make their
wishes intelligible in English, are
disposed of ty their foremen in the
north, or as the votes of communi
ties of negroes used to be soM by
their loaders to the highest bidders
in Radical days.
Ic is certainly time for a new
deal in, Charleston.

Hansen's Farthest North.
A MOST DARING OF EXPLOITS P^NDS
IN SAFETY, I
Vardo, Norway, Aug. 13-Dr.
Nansen, the Artic explorer, arriv
ed here to-day. He says that his
expedition attained one of objects
in traversing the polar sea to a
point northward of the New Sibe
rian Islands, named to latitude 86
degrees 14 minutes north. No land
was sighted north of latitude 82
degrees. After reaching the par
allel of SG.14 the expedition went
south to Franz Joseph land, where
it spent the winter, the members
subsisting on bears' flesh and
blubbers. Dr. Nansen arrived
here on the steamer Windward,
which is conveying provisions to
the Jackson-Harmworth expedi
tion. The explorer is'perfectly
well. The Farm is expected to
arrive at Vardo or Bergen in a
short lime. A I was well aboard
of her when Dr. Nansen left her.
Cures Nervous Troubles and In
digestion.
Mr. Vv. T. Nelson, president of
the Second National Bank, of
Jackson, Tenn, says: "For indi
gestion and nervous trouble, I
would rather give up any remedy
than King's Royal Germetucr. As
a nerve tranquilizer and restora
tive, it isall that can be desired.
It is not a narcotic in any sense,
but produce? the happiest effectR
upon the disordered nervous S3Ts
tem. I consider it an invaluable
remedy, and have for several years
recommended it to mv friends."
CORRESPONDENCE
Saluda County.
i Rich Rare and Racy Sketch of
Sal ud a County Candidates, 1>3'
one Whom [Everybody
Likes to Read
After.
While we see iii the prints/ ac
ounts of gyrations of our State
ampaigners from ex-school teach
r, ex-farmer, ex-pelled representa
nte Duncan to Walton Whitman,
he kicked out divine, I will at
empt to divert your readers minds
>y telling the story of Saluda's
ampaigu.
The Senatorial aspiranls-Sud
lath. Edwards, and Alleni-are
laving so far a love feast. They
,re all fine, capable men-men of
irinciple-men whose reputations
dre already fixed and who can't
,fford to belittle and backbite.
For the House, there ?3 not such
, community of feeling. We see
everal whose platforms are at wide
ariance. Joe Caughman talks of
otten dispensary liquor (wirb
[ualifications of course), of Con
ederate homes, of plenty gladden
ng the land like the "voices of
lirds in spring." Jack Edwards,
he historian of Saluda county,
ells of the good old days of yore,
if our statesmen of years agone, of
mr warriors and heroes who have
written Saluda's military history
n their blood. He also gives his
riews on les3 sentimental ques
ions, such as working convicts on
oads and affairs of practical state
iraft. Mr. Lester simply tells the
>eople, he is a plain farmer and
viii serve his people with the sam ;
idelity that has always character
zed his life as a citizen.
Mr. Seigler, the finest looking
nan in the field, also claims no
iratorical honors, but points to a
iiibstantial record ns acitizeu and
rasiness man. Well of course
?anks Caughman is the same jolly
;ood fellow he hos always been
md never fails to en ter tai u his
radiance on issues, county, or na
ional. As was prophesied in your
?olumns some time ago hy youl
nimble servant, Ibo fight for ?Sn
jerintendent of Education is tin
ight. Instead ot Sh?rod Wight,
nan and Sample being at logger,
leads, it is bright, witty, entertain
ng Olin Sawyerand Sample. Olir
s a little hustler-a young mai
;hat always comes to tho point
Vir. Sample likes to tea-e ambi
;ious young fellows, but the teas
ing would'nt work on Olin, not ?
bib of it. So Mr. Sample got :
3urrycomb and attempled tocurn
trat he soon found ho was dealing
with a "critter" that kicked lib
thuiuleratiou. So they've beei
baying it-Sample expatiating 01
the folly of youth and the "wis
[loin" of "forty year old men, ' aur
Olin has been meeting every thrus'
svith a skillfulness of repartee tba
would do credit to a trained law
per, of course, I don't know wh(
3tartod this horse-pray but I d(
know;-the crowd always gather ut.
to the stand when they are speak
ir?g. But I must'nt leave out Mr
Wightman. He has'nt as yet hitch
3d with a man, but his earnest elo
[puence is always heard and hil
good humored canvass is appr?cia
ted by all. Mr. Boozer also ii
making speeches of a high orde]
and his sound business views or
iffairs al way's impress the people
Mr. Bledsoe is a very fine youuf
man and is making a campaigi
that no man can except to.
Mr. Henry Hare of suuny Del
nar. a young mau of fine businesi
japacity is the only one of th<
?audidates for Auditor that I hav<
seen on the stump. Messrs. Rush
:on,Crouch, Goi?and others are or
thc alert foi voters also, and an
latching 'era.
For clerk, Mr. Henry Unger ii
making some fine speeches. H<
takes well with everybody. With
jut disrespect to any man, I say
that Ben Crouch is the best oratoi
in Saluda county, all things con"
?idered. Ben is also a stirer whet
it comes to getting votes. "Doc'
[Iuiet is also pultiug in some sol
id work. Mr. Josh Edwards, Mr
Villard, and Judge Rfobley an
men hard to pass by.
This is a kind of rough and tum.
nie sketch of the men who want
jfiice, as they have appeared before

OPPOSING GREENWOOD.'
The New County Question
Discussed in its Various
Aspects.
MR. EDITOR: However muc"h the
candidates may try to down the
new county question it is a live is
sue to-day with our people. It is
all bosh to attempt to stave it off
by remarking that the constitu
tion leaves the question with the
voters of nev/ countie's when this
! very*fact arouses those people who
really see and need the con.vini
euces of smaller counties to be on
guard against every effort that
would disregard theircouvehier.ee
and a proper geographical divi
vision in making new counties in
order to favor some city desiring
to concentrate more of the
wealth of the country sections.
It is entirely against the farm
communities lo aid in build
ing very u-rge cities at. a. dis
tance to the neglect or: patronizing
and building more :owns in or
near their own sections. Patriot
ism and common sense demand
that, all the peopre of old Edge-'
field county -mould aid in deiuaud
' ing that no favoritism bo shown
Greenwood or other city, but that
[ such division of the old counties
be made as will give convenience
to the largest number of all their
departing brethren ana new coun
ty associated. These men no doubt
iegret leaving past county associa
tion, but liiey recognize the im
portance of curtailing all exp?i?'8B8
1 made necessary by large com.ties.
1 they appreciate the many ad vari
" tagos of smaller counties as giving
greater convenience, greater exer
cise of sn/ereigiity bi'the people,
cloner connection with llieir offi
cials, more charitable administra
tion of laws against delinquents,
' an opportunity for better opera
tion of public school laws and
1 general scrutiny of the operation
1 of road laws without expense and
j other advantages not now necessa
, ry,to mention.
. Let any one take a good state
map having th? townships ore.,
well defined and it-Will be'seen
} that to give Greenwood the comfl^
} seat of a new county would be
} nothing but favoritism totally dis
regarding the convenience.to the
' people of West side of Edgefield
"' and lower portion of Abbeville
county. It will be seen that Mc
3 Cormick and Ninety-Six are well
" located for county seats? of two
5 new countie?, being thirty miles
r apart and each twenty-five miles
1 from Abbeville and thirty from
' Edgefield; while Greenwood ison
? ly thirteen or fourteen miles from
1 Abbeville nearly in a line from
Abbeville to Niuety-Six and over
" twenty miles from McCormick.
3 Again, Greenwood localed at the
3 crossings of two railroads and fa?
3 vored with many resources for a
" fine city does not need the aid of
1 taxpayers establishing a county
3 government i:here. The motto of
farmers in establishing new coun."
ties should be first the conve
nience of all, then the use of their
taxes through county government
where aid is to be given for aid to
those towns nearest their homes,
and leaving the old counties iii
best possible shape relativo to the
lowest taxation Sec. If Greenwood
be given part of Edgefield instead
of McCoiniick, tho taxes in Edge-*
field will increase rather than di-J
minish for the latter would divide
the heavy bridge expense with
Edgefield while Greenwood would
take off a valuable section in
which there is nat much of such
expenses.
Let the position on this ques
tion of equitable division instead/
of any favoritism towards city in-j
fluence and personal des re be con
sidered along with other merits1
the candidato may possess. Let no
one who proclaims himself an ene
my to monopoly presume to mo
nopolize legislative homrs, for the
people would encourage at all vimes
healthy ambitions and aspirations
of the largest number of equally
deserving men both young and
old. If aman does not develop in
to some distinguished legislator
why should he ask for moro than
two terms in tho same house of the
State General Assembly, and thus
be favored at the expense of other
men's aspirations, especially as
this preference gives him a greater
standing in even business affairs-;
Tho argument that, you mus., re
elect because he has experience is
extremely fallacious in this free
country, for thal carried out would
mean holding tho same office for
life. Those having experience ad
mit that not much additional law
making is needed, ih m why not
let others have an opportunity to
fry their metal.
Let those raclions destining to
become parts ol' new counties
have representation on the ticket
this time but it is not good policy
for Edgefield to permit then, ?end
ing more logblator.^ than consis
tent with the ambition an mate
rial interests of her remaining
sons,
Again, let candidat?r^^^bovp..
the horizon of selfishness aoTNod
the pooplo iii shaping nev? e.mVr
liesto the ven best interest of all.'
