Editor of LexingtonDispatch: You will please excuse me, but I would very much like to have you explain the following, which appeared in your editorial column last week: "Would it not be well for the friends of Tillman to select six candidates as delegates to the State Nominating Convention, and the followers of Sheppard do the same? Some plan must be adopted to select these delegates and what it will be is the question?'' Does not our constitution say how these delegates are to be chosen? XT' 1 T . T jlou surely do not advise a camping outside of the constitution or a disobedience of the rules and regulations of the party unless you find them oppressively unjust? Do you mean that "some plan must be adopted" other than that given us in our constitution? J. L. Shuler. Selwood, S. C. x [No, sir: you need have no fears of the Dispatch "camping outside of the constitution or of advising a disobedience of the rules and regulations." On the contrary the Dispatch advises a strict comoliance with the constitu JL ----- - ~ tion and a faithful observance of the rules and regulations as laid down by the State Democratic Executive Committee. The constitution pro vides how these delegates shall be "elected," but it does not provide how they shall be "selected."1 The point to which the Dispatch wishes to direct attention is, how are the six candidates to get before the people to be voted for in the primary as delegates to the State Nominating Convention, by a mass meeting or how? Under ordinary circumstances this question would be unnecessary, but in this campaign the party is divided into two factions, each faction will doubtless have candidates for delegates representing their views in the held. Now, suppose the Sheppard men center upon six men as candidates for delegates and the Tillman jripn divide tlieir omnnrt amz-nmr v ^ ^ thirty or forty men, the probability is-that the Sheppard delegates would be elected. Hence it is of the utmost importance that the Tillman men agree upon some plan to have only six candidates in the primary, the number to which this county is entitled to in the Convention, aud how this shall be done is the question. In their strength lies the danger for the Tillmanites, and the Dispatch only-4esired to warn them.?DisThe Coosatv Octopus. ah j?t.o ? xvia v:iiiz.cus wiji uuuouess rejoice that this much litigated case has been finally settled by a decision of the highest tribunal in the land sustaining the position of the State and completely vindicating the correstness of Gov. Tillman's judgment. This decision, coming as it does upon the eve of the fight against him, completely "knocks the wind out of the sailsv of bis opponents and places one more feather in the cap of the "'Farmer Governor." Gov. Tillman has been often harshly, and we thought unjustly, criticised about his conduct of this case, his enemies claiming that a compromise could have been effected and the Coosaw company allowed to mine on its own terms. But they % must remember that to all intents and purposes, the company was an enemy invading the rights of the State and Governor Tillman could not entertain the compromise proposed without lowering the dignity of the State, tarnishiug her honor and making her fair name a by word and a reproach. Another bubble of campaign thunder has bursted, and as the opposi tion will likely need something else, we suggest that Callie issue a second free pass and extend the franking privilege on hickory shad.

The representation of each subordinate club in said County Convention shall be one delegate for every twenty-five members and one delegate for each majority fraction thereof. and only such Democratic clubs as were in existence on the 13th day of August. 1890, will be recognized. The Presidents of the various clubs and the Democracy of the county generally will take due notice and will readily sec the importance of fully attending the meetings of their respestive clubs to be properly represented in toe County convention.

Latest Spring Soyies for Ladies. "Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy; rich, not gaudy." So advises Shakspeare, and his words still furnish the best possible rule in matters of dress. "Well-dressed women'' select such styles as combine neatness, and are at the same time in accordance with the prevailing fashion. The styles adopted in the Parisian Fashion Journals, published by A. McDowell A Co., 4 West 14th Street, New York, are always neat, rich and corrett. It is because of this fact that these publications have become so popular that they continue to make such rapid headway in the favor of American women. "La Mode de Paris'' contains the latest and best French styles. "Album des Modes" gives the styles which are most popular in Paris. Each is 35 cents per copy, or $3.50 per year. Yearly subscribers to either of these journals are entitled to a Jfreimum Book on ''Dressmaking Simplified," valued at ?5.00, which book is not sold, but is given away as here indicated.

His Speech Against the Bland Bill n-J e - Tt l A r 1 was a Jt'iea ior nones c, iuoney una in the Interest, of tli'o Cotton Planters of the South. From the New York Evening Post. The silver men in the House, it seems, are not going to give up the 5giit. Although they have received a severe repulse, they believe they onn rorwi-pr their ?round if thev can vv%~ - ? ??^ ?/ get a rule for closing debate and amendments at a fixed time, and if they can bring up all their forces. They say that the rote taken last Tuesday shows that if all the members of the House had been presentand voting they Would have had a majority of two, including the Speaker's vote. But it is impossible to get all the members tcgothei" at one time, and the question now is, which side can rally the largest number of its supporters? In other words, which side is most earnest in its purpose to win? AVe think that 4-l-irt on + i-cilvo* tnpti nrp rlir* mnrn LUt ?Alll-K5XXt Vi 4JUN.** -v ^-v- W earnest, courageous and confident. Yet the point of dangel* is not passed. The power of the Speaker is very great, and he has shown himself to be as mad a silverite as Bland him- j self. There are two factors in the problem whose value cannot be exactly determined. One of these is composed of Democrats who desire to eject the silver question out o? the the Presidential campaign, but who feel compelled by their constituencies to vote for the bill if it comes to a vote. Among these are some of the strongest men in the House, such as -_.i IL. A? T> 1.: iviuis ana me iayu xu'ccjuui luges m the South and Bynum and Springer in the North. Among the Southern Democrats was one brave man, whose lofty course recalls the example of Mr. Lamar in 1S7S. Mr. Lamar was then Senator from Mississippi. His Legislature had passed resolutions* instructing him to vote for the silver bill of that day; He said he could not conscientiously do so, nor could he conscientiously refrain from voting. He believed that casting his vote against the bill would be signing his own political death warrant, but he nevertheless did cast it as his conscience told him was right. His State not only forgave him, but took * 1? h - ? l. tlnr* aitav I j mm lllio IllgJUtU CU11UV.4C11CC kuau CIC4and promoted him by successive steps to the bench of the Supreme Court of the "United States, where lie now sits one of the most honored and useful of the nation's chiefs. In like manner Mr. Bradley has come j forward, and, after delivering one of ! the most convincing speeches against | the Bland bill, cast his vote against it at every stage. "There is something touching in the conclusion of Mr. Brawleyrs speech. He said: "If by my voice and vote upon this bill I have failed to satisfy the wishes of anv oortion of my con stituents, and if raj course herein puts an end to my public service, as yiany of my .friends warn me, that it will, I wish those of my peo$e who have honored me with their confidence to know that my conclusions have been reached after most careful consideration, moved by the most sympathetic regard for their interests. There has been the strongest and most subtle temptation to earn their approval by hypocritical conformity with what is represented to be their will; but my convictions as to the injurious effect of this bill have been so strong that such mendacious compliances have been impossible to me, ^ ? 1 Ka Slid dear as xiieir appiuxu. nuiuu to me, I hold my conscience higher than their praise. "My strongest sympathies are with the plain people of my State and I will willingly give to their service whatever I have of ability and experience. If it is their will that such service shall end, there will be no word of complaint or censure from me, but so long as that service continues I must retain my own respect without undue subservience; and preferring private station, will endeavor to live my life clear of injustice and, to adopt the words of an ancient philosophe, 'depart when my time comes, in mild and gracious mood, with fair hope.' " These are the words of a moral hero, and we cannot doubt they will i awaken a generous response ,in the i u - # breasts of the South Carolinians unless those men have become less chivalrous and high-minded than those of Mississippi when they honored Mr. Lamar for his courageous vote on a like occasion. j Now the question is whether Mr. j Brawley is to be the only true hero | in this fight. It is very easy to run with the unthinking and informed masses, but we look for a better ex- i ample from Mr. Mills, whose voice during the last campaign really made the defeat of the Bland bill in the present Congress possible. bkawley's great speech. To the Editor of the News and Courier: "Charleston"' must not be allowed to be alone in the praise of | Major Brawley's speeeh on the silver question, deliveaed in Congress and | published hi the News and Courier. I It is a great speech and makes plain a subject which is often obscured by purely partisan and heated discus sion. As our people are taking much interest in the subject it would be doing the public good service if all of our county papers would publish J the speech. It might be given the right of way for at least one week. It deserves circulation. It was intended for instruction. From every standpoint it is meritorious. It is consceientious and learned, and has the strength of all good argument, namely, simplicity. South Carolina. Abbeville, S. C., March 20. [FROM THE BROOKLYN EAGLE, MARCH 30.] It is very e isy for the representatives of Northeastern constituencies to vote i and speak against the free coinage J of silver, and, while rendering full I honor to the Congressmen from New ! York and New England who have ! made a gallant and skilful light j against that ruinous scheme, we feel i bound to give even greater credit to the few members who have risked i their whole political future, in obeui) once to their conviction, by opposing | the wishes of their own constituents. 1 ? --1-. j... 1\. ... J.l._ We print tocmy extracts man speech (>f Mr. William H. Brawley, of Charleston, justifying ami explaini ing his vote against the free j . ' " I j coinage of silver, to whieh we flsk | tile particular attention of our read- j ers. Mr. Brawley represents a con- ! stituency decidedly in favor of free silver, and when he we was elected his own opinions agreed with theirs. But, as the result of conscientious and thorough study* he has become fully convinced that these opinions were mistaken, and he has had the i:uui;ig? tu aui ?? u. 11 muepeuueui representative of tLe United States,and not as the mere delegate of ft district. Yet he gives sound reasons for believing that the real interests of his own constituents and neighbors are identical with those of t.he whole American people. "We know that Sir Brawley has judged correctly upon both points. The debasement of the currency Would Work especial harm to the cotton planters, whom he represents. Depending, as tney do* upon gold using countries for their entire market, the price of their product will always be fixed in gold rates, no matter what currency they may use. If they adopt an inferior currency, all tin; loss arising from its fluctuations and from the risks of uncertain exchanges must fall upon the cotton planters. And, as he points out, the real cause of the present depression in the price of cotton* which his con- 1 stituents are apt to impute to the demonetization of silver, is really due to the exclusion of- Kuropean products by McKinley laws since by far the greater part of the goods thus shut out of our markets would, if allowed to come in, be applied to the purchase of cotton, which T^ni'Ar*A li no/1 o in o 1 in ncf I iacvio, ILX Lhxmyjkj u ix 1111 LLII I/V^VA quantities, but which Europeans : cannot buy if we refuse to accept * the only things with which ] they can make payment. < Mr. Brawley is the only Represen- ! tative from the States of North Car- . olina, South Carolina, Georgia and ] Florida who had the courage to vote < for sound currency. He also enjoys 1 the honorable distinction of being the only member from those States who i voted for Roger Q. Mills for Speaker last December. That vote has been aboundantly justified by subsequent events, not only to the country at large, but also to Mr. Brawley's immediate constituents. We are con- ( fident that this second act of courage will, within a very short time, equally commend itself to the intelligent people of South Carolina, and that ] thev will return to his place a Repre- ' \ l 1 M T 1 ?

Editor Lexington Dispatch: The flight of time has brought upon us another campaign, and we find in the columns of your paper calls by citizens antagonistic to the present Ad- ( ministration, "Rally Democrats," and "Rally Republicans." So it ^ seems that both parties are preparing for battle, and also both factions of the one, viz., the Democratic party, mean to seek the nomination which, in the judgment of all thinking people in South Carolina, is vir- ' tually an election. It has been some- 1 time since the Republicans in Lex- 1 ington county have been called upon j w &jud ufttri Nutenjl-ver ?rill J be a longer time till they are 1 again summoned. Our trouble is not with that party, ?__ __ a I but it is in our own raiiKs; auu wuue the present Administration might have fallen short, grant that the Re- : formers have made some mistakes and ! | have not redeemed all the promises ] I made in the last campaign, no reas- 1 enable, conservative citizen in the 1 I State will gainsay that each Administration since 1876 has been characterized by the same grievous fault. I have been a candidate myself and I known the temptation is very strong to make fair promises to the "dear people" in order to get a fat salary in ] the shade. We get in and we find that the constitution and laws are 1 such that we cannot do all we promis- j ed, however honest we were when promising. Campaigns ought to be run on a | higher plane, and the high moral nature in man ought to be appealed to instead of the low depravity that , t has heretofore been practiced. Men ought to vote for and support men because of honesty and competency. Lot us remember that the country's interest is more than the interest of t individuals. It was Lord Bacon who ! said that the "duties of life are j greater than life." The duties of | office are greater than office. The [ country's interest should not be sacrificed to gratify any man or set of men. Unfortunately every enterprise is now more or less governed by politics. Our churches are swerved by politics, and, alas, politics have crept into our courts of justice and play a conspicious part. What does this electioneering mean that is going on each term time around our court houses ' Truly then may we say and ur??e that politics eret on a higher plane. Respectfully, Sigma. Lexington, S. C., April 4th, 1892. More Money. 1 am a Democrat and don't believe in a third party, but if the party that is now in power are determined to keep the people from having money enough to take care of themcolvee and their children, and are going to legislate for the rich and let the poor laboring man do the best he can, give me a third party and give me one to stay. The silver bill would give the people more money or the sub treasury bill would give us more money. If the United States would issue money at once and pay up all its bonds it would put money in circulation. These bondholders would have to hunt some place to invest their money. They would be compelled to build factories or lend their money to the people. Common sense teaches that they would not kck it up. T* ^ .f. T in J.
