Colombia Register 22d. A batch or two here and there 01 the streets yesterday of so calle< Straightouts of the irreconcilable rul or ruin genus led to the suspicioi that something was up. And then was. They had assembled here t* hold a caucus or a conference to de cide what to do, instead of accepting like true Democrats the will of th? majority of the people and abide b; the party rules. The editor of The State has fo % sometime been calling upon Mr. J K. Carson of Spartanburg to call i .meeting of the Executive Committer of the "Democratic'' party, whicl term they arrogated to themselve when they held a convention her* last fall and after an all night sessioi did nothing. The appeal for th< meeting was not in vain and th members began to gather in Coiuin bia during the day. Among those ii tho city who came to attend th< meeting were F. C. Fishburn, YY K. Steedman, John M. Kinloch, o Charleston: S. Forcner^mTTn^^ Berkeley; Altamonfc Moses and R. ] Manning, Sumter, J. K. Carson, an< J. C. Garlington of Spartan-burg: edi tor A. B. Williams of Greenville? B M. Prince, Anderson; Editor Aull, c Newberry, and Editor Langston o Anderson. b^man Frida; Fere bothering these irrepressible oalcontents. It didn't bother all of hem either for a clean cut from the egular Democracy, while others s'ere not prepared to go that far. Editor Gonzales was, of course, he leading spirit in it all. He was lot invited to the Tiliman-Hempbill2! vans conference and he got in a lit,le revenge. Editor Hemphill of Charleston was not in it. He wasn't nvitea and went back home yesterlay evening, though when he heard )f the meeting he didn't hesitate to say that it was a mistake for his side, the Couservatives. As they have the reputation, however, of doing the wrong thing at the right time, the Reformers were not worried. They won't say much but when it comes time to vote somebody will hear something drop with a sickening thud. A STRAIGHT FIGHT. The conference met last (Friday) night in the dining room of the Hotel Jerome and it must have been terribly hot with all the windows down and the blinds drawn tight. But notwithstanding this the Register is able to give something definite as to the proceedings. How the information was obtained is no matter, but it ought to be patent to every one now that it is almost impossible to hold any secret political ctnference in Columbia. The cat always gets out of the bag somehow. Ike members generally made themselves as comfortable as possible bj shucking off their coats, vests and even collars. They were in a hoi place and ihev had a hard summei job before them?devising schemes to beat the regular Democracy. Ad ditional delegates to those already T? r Sfor, mentioneu wwc j-juhvx j.?. v^. of the Florence Messenger; S. P "Wingard of LexiDgton; K. R. Mclve: of Darlington and A. G. Ivollock o Chesterfield. The first thing in older was reports from the counties. Mr. S. Porcher Smith responde* ; for Berkeley. He said that the Cor servatives of that county were read and willing for a stiaght fight. Mr. Fishburne reported for Charle: ton. He said that the county wa undobtedly Conservative. The men bers of the faction in that count would make a straight fight if tl other counties decided to do so. ???BM??CB??? ! others decided on a factional division \ j they wouid follow suit. j MONEY TO HE USED. Mr. A. B. Williams responded for Greenville. lie said that he didn't believe that a handful of the 2,000 f i I Conservative voters in that county ^ would go into the primary. They i e were somewhat in the position of j i Charleston Conservatives, however, i . . . . j If a general and satisfactory division \ could be made, Greenville Conservatives might go in it. Mr. Williams, H continuing, said that he thought i 1 7 | there was a good chance of winning j 8 if the 30,000 Conservative voters 2 would go to work with a will. They j 0 I would have to bring moral, political j 0 pecuniary, physical and other iDflu! ences to bring about the result. He j Y . j 3 thought that money might be used j advantageously. Some men might * be bought up outright while others were hampered with mortgages and r . j indebtedness of that kind which j could be lifted and the citizens would 1 j naturally feel grateful and vote all 8 right. These are not Mr. Williams' 1 exact words, but is the correct and j pnlr? ldnnded statement of his Dl'ODO- ! sition. a NO PEACE WANTED. e e A member from Hampton said that _ the Conservatives were ready for a 2 straight fight and were fairly well e organized. He didn't think they want\ j ed any coalition, and he didn't think f j there was much chance for one. f I Mr. S. P. "Wingard, in speaking for ! Lexington, said that the Conserva3 ' lives wanted no combination with ! the Tillmanites, but were read}' for a , i square fair fight. In reply to a I i question from Mr. N. G. Gonzales, ? he said that the registration during the ten days was short. The Cony servatives were not well organized. ti^mmissioner RWd of Dispensary : "fighting for youl H S?|| ' m^T?' hrAn orht. forth aoolause from his au- j C1 1 L ditors. S( Mr. Manning responded for Sum- ^ ter. She was in for the fight too. n Mr. Moses also spoke on the same ei subject and was in for the fight if a ^ general division could not be had. s' Repoits from Darlington and Ches- ^ terfield came in a little late, but it is ^ ! understood that the same old story ^ I was told. n j This appears to be the scheme i ** | then, whether it is denied or not to 1 make a straight fight, to organize u c every county and precinct with so?1 calling Democratic clubs and wage a desperate war with the Regulars. The conference adjourned at 2 o'clock this morning when it was ^ ! stated that there was nothing to be ! ! given out for publication. There j 0 j was a lot of discussion over some ; c j resolutions, the purport of which ! 1 | could not be learned, but it is proba- j 2 { ble that an address of some sort will j 1 i be issued today. j * < Nest to Nothing. : { j "H'm! Have you been taking any- j | thing for your troubl?'; inquired the j < | village doctor of a patient from out ] j beyond Squantum Corners, who ' ; | complained of being all run down. j j I "Well, no," was the reply. "I ! i ! have not taken anything worth j ; i speaking of during the last three | | months, except a couple o' bottles o' j j Tombs' tip top tonic, and a bottle or ! i j two o' Potter's peculiar pectoral and j j two or three bottles o' K.

Tillman Washes His Hands of the : Whole Affair. i His Reasons for His Course?The ! i Blame Placed I'pon the *'Treach- : ery of Those Conservatives Who j Applauded Judge GofFs Decision j and Made it the Basis of Threats Against the Reformers. t I The Tillman-Barnwell conference plan is dead beyond resurrection. Senator Tillman bas come out squarely and repudiates it because the Conservatives have not fulfilled their pait of the contract. The Senator returned from Mem- ! phis yesterday and is stopping at the Mansion. He was asked last night wha$ 'he thought would be the effect of the . reversal of Jujlge GcfF's injunction, and in reply he said: "It simplifies matters very and relieves us of what was daily becoming a more threatening situation. To illustrate: Those Conservatives who seemed to have the greatest fol lowing, instead of pleading as heretofore for an equal division of the delegates, were using a hectoring and threatening tone while nearly all of the Conservative papers were urg-~ ing their faction not to go into the Democratic primary. Generals Hampton and Butler had advised the same thing, and while the News and Courier did not counsel this course the recent demonstration in Charleston over Hampton left small doubt as to whose leadership they would follow, unless the Reformers surrender the control of the conven-. tion to them. All this is now changed never doubted that the HHpm Judge (ion was im- D orteahere, with his scandalous vde- ^ :ee already written, had the Con- j( jrvatbe editors and leaders acted ^ ke patriotic Carolinians and de- g ounced his unwarranted interfer- c ace and offered to join hands with le Reformers in maintaining white r npremacy it would have at once ob- ^ terated all factional lines and good ; ?eiing and confidence would have ^ een restored. The Reformers canot now forget, nor will they soon argive, those who plainly showed heir purpose to overthrow the white ^ majority by negro votes, least of all I an they trust them now, nor can I \ dvise our people to trust them. ( "I went into the agreement with j ( Tessrs. Barnwell and the orther gen- j i lemen in perfect good faith and had hat agreement been generally acepted by the Conservatives and en(orsed by their newspapers, it would nevitabiy have been carried out by ilmost every county. A golden op)oitunity was lost and the Conservaives have 'again', to use the words )f the Newberry Herald and News, done the wrong thing at tue right ime' for the good of the Reformers.'' "Do I understand that you now repudiate the agreement"?'' was asked. 'By no means, although by every rule of morals I could claim to be absolved from it. I would still like to see a non partisan convention composed of our best men, from both factions, and I take this opportunity to urge our people, and by that I mean those who have supported me, | to be generous and not treasure up ' in their hearts with too much bitter- j ness the recent taunts and threats i made by the 'aniis.' We have got ! to live here together, our interests \ are identical, the future prosperity of the State depends largely on a better state of feeling. I can see no harm and much good that will follow if the Reformers voluntarily select men of the best brains and character among the Conservatives to come to the convention. I would only give the cautiou that no man be allowed to come who during the dark davs that follwed GofTs tyrannical usurpation, showed any gratification or made any threats; such men cannot be trusted, and had better be left at home. ''There is one other point that I feel should be emphasized, and that is this: There must be some hidden or secret purpose in the almost insane desire, which has shown its Tf among the 'ants,' to control the constitutional convention. Hav'ng pcflaanEBBEBannMnHBCSflnflMvmEBSHKaBK voted almost solidly against it, I have never understood why they have been so anxious to have equal representation in it, when by all rules of fairness and all the principles of Democracy, they were not entitled to any representation at all, except in the counties where they control. ' When the Barnwell conference met there appeared to be no prospect of an agreement being reached, ,mainly because this demand for j half, aDd it was only accepted by the Reformers present after imposing conditions, which are familiar to the public. Those conditions are still vital and no Conservative should be voted for at the primary who does not discuss those questions before the people and satisfy them as to his attitude on them. "There is one other vital feature which our people must not overlook. It is the constitutional provisions for the control of corporations and the [-question of taxation. Corporatior attorneys, those known to be in ihe employ of corporations, had better ~?e left at home, whether Reformers or Conservatives, unless from llieii characters and general course of con duct as men it is believed they car be trusted. "I must believe that the strenuous efforts to pbtain half the delegates were inspired by the desire to pul -into the new constitution something that would have either hamperec | the Legislature or tied its lianas ir some way." ''What about the action in Edge field?" was asked. "I saw by the papers that that ae tion was credited to my influence. 1 had nothing to do with it an$ onh happened to be at the court hous< that day on private business." q "Do you think the plan of tb( Edgefield committee will be carriec out?" ^1^1 doubt it very imjcb.

The Goff ncident has raised the veil and shown :oo much of hatred and a fell pur- j lose to rule or ruin for me to ask the j Reformers to do more than I have indicated, and if I were to ask it and j stump the State, county by county, the people would go their own way.'' j !t May Do as Much for You j !

Judge Nathan Goff has sent the j following letter to the New Y'ork j . World: j ! U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, { 1 Nathan Goff, Fourth Circuit Judge. < Clarksburg, YvT. Va., June 14,1895. The World, New York: I write this * 1 . . l _ note, presuming tnat von uesire 10 i publish and comment upon the facts only, in connection with matters of public interest. In the editorial in : ; your issue of the 13th inst., under ! j 1 heading of "The South Carolina j ' Case,'' you proceed upon the theory that I had by my order entered in ' | said cause, enjoined the holding of an election in that State. Such is ' not the fact. I simply held?admit- . 1 ting- that the election would be held, ! as provided by law- -that by virtue ! ' of the provisions of the constitution 5 of the United States, all citizens of " South Carolina entitled under the > constitution of that State to vote, I were entitled to cast their ballots at 1 such election, and that the illegal re-1 quirements of the registration laws ' of said State should not be used to prevent them from so doing. At the time I granted the injunc^ tion you were misinformed as to its purpoit, and the error of the origi' nal statement, it seems, has never been corrected. The Couit of Appeals, in the de' cision to which you allude in the edi i torial mentioned, does net hold this - - - - , y.M. \ conclasioLt^je erroneous, aoss noc : hjS?^ .'vl &\ '*&? ^H^HSfiraftEic Bl^MK^y^^^wSrEpyfi^^SS3^!?W afford and will not permiMt^^i^P^B to be misled by misstatements, and it will, 1' doubt not, when properly ^ advised, correct an error into which jj it has been unintentionally led. Most truly, N. Goff. i . . ! so. On one point Judge Goff is abso lately right. The World desires "'to publish and comment upon the facts only.'' But we are unable to see that we have done anything else. To speak j with entire frankness, unless the pub- j lished reports of his decision are ut- j an terly wrong, he now seriously mis- j in stales the facts. co Stripped of legal technicalities j ni and written in a langaage "under- st standed of the people," the facts are ' e\ these: tL nrtl 11 n ^ T 4-ni*& /^r*_ or llie ?50Uiu ^aronuii jut- ^loiaiuio | dered an election to be held for a si constitutional convention to meet in 01 I September of this year. The regis- j tc | tration laws of South Carolina im- j oi | pose certain conditions. The enforce- p ! ment of these conditions would dis- j k: j franchise many blacks and some lc j whites. But the laws in question do j notdisfianchiseanv person on account b j of "race, color or previous condition ; of servitude" any more than do the n I reading and writing requirements of o ! Massachusetts law. It is only with j j such disfranchisement that the na- si tional government or its courts have j I anything whatever to do, as the Su- j tl | premt Couit has delinitely decided. But because the practical effect of w | the entirely constitutional laws of j s j South Carolina is to disfranchise ! j more blacks than whites, Judge Goff j a : issued an injunction which, in spite p of his contention in his present letter. ! t i seems to have forbidden the holding j p : an election ordered by law. His in- j k j junction, if correctly re^ o ted, for- | c j bade all peisons "charged under the L i laws of the said State with the bold- t incr or managing elections far dele- I I "?

It still remains law that every state may impose what condition it ffeases upon suffrage, so long as it J ioes not disfranchise any citizen "on j iccount of race, color or previous ;ondition of servitude."

Major Champion, in his book "On the Frontier,'" describes a deer hunt, in the course of which he finds his dog astride the body of the deer, while an Indian stood a litter way off, bow and arrow in hand. By sign he made the white man understand that j|l he had wounded the deer, and the dog pulled it down. Then he cut up ^ the dear, tied the forehead up in the skin, and placed it on one side. The other half be laid at Major Champion's feet delivering himself of a speech in the Ute language. The m white man understood his meaning, but not a word of his address^ Indian and the dog had killed the deer together, and the dog's owner was entitled to half the game. The Major was equal to the emergency. He rose and delivered in full the classical declamatiou, "My Name is Xorval," with appropriate gestures, just as he had many times given it at school. Nothing could have been better.
