For constitutional convention, "No." NOT INCONSISTENT. It has been remarked that the Dispatch is somewhat inconsistent in opposing the call for a constitutional convention and advocating the election of John Gary Evans, the recognized champion of such a conven4 tr\n 11VU* The position of the Dispatch is en- j tirely consistent nor does one position ! in the least conflict with the other. Mr. j Evans is the nominee of the Democratic party for Governor, having received his nomination after complying with all the rules and regulations made and required by the party of which he is the head and only legitimate representative for the office for ; which he has been nominated. No i matter how bitterly we may oppose | him or how warmly advocate him, he | is the nominee of the organized De- ! moeracy in the State and as such he j holds aloft the banner of white supremacy and is the sentinel which guards white necks from negro heels. Under these circumstance to oppose I his election we would be acting the | part of a traitor and draw down i upon ourselves the just and righteous j indignation of all liberty loving peo- j Ko oeVir>ni?>^ fr? OUr wife I JJJ.C liUll lyv/ U^IVIUUIVV. aud helpless little ones. We have j never supported, advocated nor r voted for an Independent candidate, that is one who opposes the regular Democratic nomineee and may God j forget us if we ever do as long as i the Democratic party is true to its | past traditions and principles and is j faithful to them in the future. This j paper has never abused other men ' for holding contrary opinions, and ; for this reason it is contented to ! leave Dr. Pope to his conscience and to his strange "bed fellows." The constitutional convention has never been a party measure, and in- J deed it should never be made one. It is a question in which every person is interested and in the framing of which every one should have a voice. The views of the fathers i of the scheme are too vague and in- j definite? their purposes are shrouded i in too much mystery; they declare ; I that the people are not to be trusted j 1 . with* the elective franchise and deny them the right to vote upon the adoption of the constitution, and by this refusal, were it even a party measure, they have gone back on the bed rock principle of the Reform Movement, which guarantees a primary for all political measures, thereby relieving Reformers from its support? because it is intended to make the dispensary and other questions a part of the organic law of the State: because the election of Mr. Evans does not mean that a convention will be called. Under ^ these circumstance we can consistentlv advocate the election of the one and advise the defeat of the other. It is peculiarly strange that Lexington, Spartanburg and Lancaster should have a Reform press opposed to the holding of a Constitution Convention. The three counties have clear white majorities and possibly such papers pander to what they imagine a popular thing in their counties, in their imaginary appeals in half of the "poor white men."? Cotton Plant. The Dispatch opposes a convention because it is contrary to the spirit and principles of the Reform party, in thai the party is pledged to the primary system. The elec- j tive franchise is too sacred to be delegated to other persons with unlimi- J ted and sovereign powers to frame the organic law of the State. "When the j Cotton Plant or any other paper by in- ! timation or otherwise savs that the Dis - j . I patch panders to what it imagine a i * popular thing, it says something which j it should know to be false, and without even the appearance of truth. The only hope of the Republicans i is in the indifference of our people. I If our people fail to do their duty, j they hope to furnish some excuse to ! an unscupulous Republican Congress j to unseat the Democrats, should the Republican party, the party of plunder, of Force Bills and negro domin ation, chance to have a majority in ; the next Congress. There is little ; prospect of this, since the odious [ Federal Supervisors will no longer be at the polls to bulldoze the igno- I i jant voter. Constitution Convention.?NO. 1 The pretense that a cons.itutional j lonvention would rob the poor man >f auy of his rights is pure bosh. Aou't the poor man have his say in electing the delegates? And ain't .he poor people in a majority??IV :riot. True, friend; "poor man will have bis way in electing delegates"' but as it is the avowed purpose of that conven tion to disfrachise the poor white man and negro, by making an educational and property qualilication to vote, it will be the last political "way" he will ever have. Ail issues in this, the Seventh District have narrowed down to one, v* l^CriiOtTUUV VtiMiO JLIU^,'U This one issue is whether the intelligence and wealth, comprising the white people of the District shall be represented in Congress, or whether a few white Republicans shall accomplish their selfish ends by placing "black heels on white necks." That is the burning question before which all others sink into insignificance. Democrats of the 7th Congressional District shake off your lethargy! A great victory is within your grasp! "Will you seize it? The utterances of Western Democrats give great hope of relief by the next Congress. Will you falter in the fight when relief is in sight? Let every Democrat do his duty. Go to the polls early on November 6th: be sure you vote in the Congressional Box; and be sure you carry your Registration Certificate with you. The time is short, and there is * but a little time for us to work. The election comes off on Tuesday, November Gth and Dr. Stokes must be elected to Congress from this District by an overwhelming majority and the Constitutional convention defeated. Let the full Democrat strength of the county be polled on that day. Let: ach club appoint at lest two responsible men at each Congressional Box to keep tally of all negroes who are refused. Let these two men make affidavit to the correctness of their tally and forward same to me forthwith, or else turn it over to our county chairman to be forwarded. This is the most important safe guard of all?indeed it is absolutely essential. At the last minute Butler's final and desperate scheme to retain his seat in the United States Senate has been exposed. It is said by the Columbia Register that at the last minute Independent tickets will be brought out in half the counties in the State. This is desperate but fruitless game and one which cannot succeed. Let each member of the club furnish to the challenging committee a list of all negroes who have changed residence within the past two years or who for any reason are disqualified to vote. Challenge every one of these if they offer to vote. The Republicans have shown their hand and it remains for the Democrats to defeat them. Look up your registration certificate, go to the polls on the 6th of November and vote the entire Democratic ticket. If the people are to be trusted, why are the advocates of the Constitutional Convention, afraid to refer the constitution back to them for ratification'? Let each club appoint a challenging committee to stay on duty from the opening of the Congressional box to the closing thereof. Let every effort be made to get out our full vote. Those who do not vote by 12 o'clock should be sent for. Five cents cotton, and 8100,000 Constitutional Convention are gloomy issues for our people. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market.. It is . i ^ ji? .i in taKen miernajiy in uuses iium xu drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly 011 the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J.

Editor Watchman aK(l SontLron: It would not become me to reply to yo-lr sarcasm against "the Great Png a-Wug of High Hill or to your spiteful fl.ngs against j the lielormers oi Sumter county. We will | just keep our tight over past issues in abeyance until the mxt primary. You have again pledged yourself and j taken an oath to support the nominees of j the Democratic party. The individual vote j of a newspaper dots not mean supj ort, it j io expected, that 3on will cc&se to antago- | j u'ze and say what )Oi can to induce others [ I to support the ticket. I am told by some j of the Conservative taction (and they would do their taction no wrong) and by some of j the liepublican leaders that Mr. Johnson j will get many ot the Conservative votes of I this county. I till you this in no spiteful I spirit, but tell you in < r e- .hit you might I give Mr. Stokes, the LCujOCratio nominee j lor Congress, the influence and support of | your paper in accordance with your pledge ; and your oath, I beg you earnestly 'o do this. Mr. T. I>. Johnson seen s to be. person1 ally, a very nice and respectable gentleman, but we are concerned about him politically Mr. Johnson was introduced to the people ol this county by the negro; his political ' association is with the negro, and he is the j negroes' candidate. If he was elected to ' Congress his associates would be among j the Republicans of the North, the very peo! pie w ho hate, curse, abuse atid oppress the j people ol the South. I can't understand bow any thinking I man can tolerate indej e ideutism, but v e i have seen it. I can't understand how any { Southern white man could be so forgettul I of the past it-dignities heaped upon our peo pie, wlieu Republicans appealed to the U. j S. Government to aid them with bayonets j in trampling oar people, women and childI rea, under the heel of the negro and car pet-bagger, one ol whom was Mr. T. if. Johnson. God grant that we may never see a Fumter county white man vote tor ! him as one of the surprises of the politic. 1 j drama. Again. Mr. Johnson has accumulated j mouey and is a money lender. Every inI terest of his is with the bondholders and ! money leuders who are opposing us and j giving us five cents cottou lor our hire, j Every interest of his is diametrically opj pos-;d to the negro whom he seeks to represent. Mr. Bray ton wLo was the regular ; Republican lion inee but who report says j was bought by Mr, Johnson was j more nearly identified with both whites j and negroes and like Murray would have voted against a contraction of the currency which is fast robbing our white people of their homes and the negroes of all chances of profitable employment. No sensible white man could vote for Mr. Johnson and no negro who cares for his starving race j will do it. The Democratic nominee, Dr. J. Win. Stokes, is a gentleman ot refined, polished manners, a deep thinker and a convincing talker. He is thoroughly identified with the people, both white aDd black. His bread and meat like ours depends upon the ! products of the soil aud upon the prosper1 itv ot the neonle. He knows that the less j woiie.v there is per capita, the more mast j people borrow to do business, lie knows, lor be is one of us, the scarcer money be! comes the more of the products of the peo! pie's labor it takes to obtain it. Therefore j we can safely count on every act and every | word ol his, being in the interest of the business men and products of Sumter county. His political associations in Con gross would be with the men of the South, producers like ourselves. Dr. Stokes would aid and strengthen his brother Coc| gressruen from other States, struggling like ! we are against oppression, which looks like ! wholesale bankruptcy and ruin, i I therefore raise my feeble voice against { any division at the general election, which I will tend to separate and disintegrate the united white strength of Sumter county, against scratching a tingle name off the Democratic ticket, and against staying at home when every vote is needed. I appeal to all with whom I might have influence, ! to turn out on election day and cast your { solid vote for every man whom the Democratic party has placed in nomination, be he Tilimanite, or Straigh'ont.
