A number of the students of ! said school appeared before the County Board of Examiners on the - 4th day of April, 1890, and stood a j "written examination, which written j examination is a part of tha record of 1 this?a public?office. The Board awarded the certificates according to the per cent, each made. Since the ^ result has been published of those who obtained certificates, leaving blank the number who utterly failed, it has been said that no one who at- i tends said school can obtain a certificate of first grade before me. 2nd.

As Democrats and fsflflj^HHfl no personal gain, but HhBB strong convictions as to^BB|^B^| our State, we desire to views to the Democratic State, and ask for these view^^BB and thoughtful consideration The Democratic party is indroH by some of its own members for Bl voritism; for relinquishing its funcl tions to an oligarchy of aristocrats; for betraying the confidence placed in it by the people; for wasteful extravagance?even for corruption. Our~-ja?AuxsdiQ?s had not alleged so much. Meywithin the party, daSung^r ^r^^cent of the their claims according to the usual methods uppn their merit and the judgement of a Democratic Conven tion, but upon fictitious pretexts have formed a party within the party, held a Convention, adopted a platform, practically nominated a candidate for Governor and by means of an ^original campaign committ ee propose to force their candidate upon the State Democratic Convention in the name of the farmers of South Carolina. In this departure from usual meth ods in our judgment there is an innovation pregnant with great dang'er to the unity and harmony of the Democratic party. Conscious of the fact that the purity and integrity of our institutions is dependent upon the solidarity of the party, we view with the greatest apprehension the deliberate declaration of the candidate, which, in our opinion, arrays caste against caste, and, dividing the white peo nl? on da r>cers Ando-Saxon su o ? ? premacy. Believing that upon the perpetuity of the Democratic party in South Carolina, as at present constituted, depend the peace and prosperity of the State and the general welfare of the people; believing that the methods of nominating State officers by that party in the past have been fair, honorable and just to all classes of our citizens, regardless of occupation or calling; believing that the administion of the State Government has been in the past and is at present able, pure, honest and free from corruption; believing that an attr.ck upon the party, under these circumstances, is a reflection upon the intelligence and integrity of the people; believing the party's motto in the future should be, as it has been in the past?"equal rights to all, special privileges to none''?we, the undersigned, farmers and Democrats, de sire to enter our solemn protest against the unusual, unprecedented and revolutionary action of the Shell Convention. As Democrats, we cannot witness without protest the control of our party by a faction. As agriculturalist's, we cannot permit our honorable occupation to be de graded info a spoilsman's machine. As citizens, we will not be silent under misrepresentation. We believe that in these declarations we voice the sober opinions of the majority of the Democratic farmers. * The success of the "Tillman Movement," would mean the discredit of the Democratic- party by itself. It would embroil the party, make local quiet impossible, and check the industrial development of the State. In the eyes of the country, it would be a verdict against the Democracy of South Carolina. We confidently appeal to that Democracy to arouse itself, and to support our protest against the aggrandizement of one man at such a cost to the State! ADOPTING THE ADDP.ES8. | Mr. Heyward of Beaufort moved ; that the report of the committee be i adopted, and the motion was promptlv seconded. Col. Youmans said ho wanted first to say something about the charges _ ^HnH ^ee saicH^HHH^^^^H^J Jbeeome the delay, and the SenlH^BH^^HjH were promptly agTeea^^HR^^^H House. The bill is now in^RBH^I of the President and will probabl^M be a law before this is printed. I ?i 2* i_MU Secretary YVindom Has got mm sen into the hottest kind of hot water by what several Republican Senators call his meddling with Congressional Legislation on the silver question, and he is getting abuse very freely from members of his party, and it will not be surprising if the feeling against him results in a Congressional investigation of his recent letting of the contract to take seals in Alaskan waters for twenty years, about which there are some ugly rumors. If such an investigation should be held and the right witnesses be summoned, Mr. Russell Harrison, the President's son, would not be in an enviable position. To return to the silver ques tion; the Republican caucus committee have at last reached an agreement upon a silver bill. Senatoi Teller, who was a member of the committee, has given notice that he will oppose the bill. Senator Mitchell devoted the /vf "Kia tmPAnh in favor oi CAbCI ^>(U V Vi. MAM - W. wthe election of Senators by the people, to criticism of the secret Executive session. The abolition of th< secret session and the election of the Senators by the people are both good ideas and will probably come in time but it will be a long time first. Speaker Reed's rule? shadow quorum and all, are to be imposed upon the Senate unless the Democrats ix that body can defeat a resolution, | provided for the change, which Sena tor Chandler has introduced." Th< introduction of this resolution is be lieved by many to be only the pre liminary step toward the passage o: a Federal election law and other ob noxious laws. Your corresponden' has not been inclined up to the pres ent time to believe that a Federa election law would be passed, bui this move makes it look very muci that way now. "We have got along for more thai a hundred years with plain minis ters at the courts of foreign coun tries, but now the Senate, at the re quest of Secretary Blaine, propose that the titlo of our principal Rep resentatives in Europe shall be "am bassador.v This country is too bij and too great to be adopting the mor ! archial customs of Europe, and i seems all the more absurd just a this time when every throne in En | rope is tottering.
