The Lexington Dispatch! Burned April 25th; rebuilt Juiy 19,1891. G. M. HARMAN, Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDN33DAY, APRIL 22. ISho. WHY NOT ALL THE WAY? ^7e are glad that Hon. C. M. Eflrd has spoken with no uncertain sound on the subject he discusses elsewhere in this issue. Iiis reflections on the situation which confront the Deiuo?thia Sfflfn tnJnv icruLIVJ pin bj au ^ are in tbe main timely and bis position is well taken. His rea- | son3 for making the fight for silver within the party lines are un ! questionably strong and will be very bard for tbe advocates of a bolt to suece s Y'lly controvert. The}- are convincing in their logic and bis arguments glitter and sparkle with truths so patent that even be who runneth cannot faii to see and un derstand. As far as he went Senator Efird has placed himself upon record as being opposed to bolting tbe party, or at least until the nomi nation is made for President at Chicago, and even then, should the nomination be adverse to silver, he has doubts about the wisdom of bolting, for he says, in substance that, should foil <vf it IliC OU Y Cl iui)U(;ou At*** ~ ? 0 ~ will be tieae enough to consider what ? to do under the circumstances, and right here he breaks somewhat the p force of his argument and diverts from the plain and well trodden path of duty to his party. If a man participates in the ae[ . tion of a Democratic club, and assists by his influence and his vote, through [ party organizations, in sending delegates to Chicago, he is morally bound to suppoit the action of that convention whether his views are adopted or not. To do otherwise would be in plain unvarnished language, political treachery and nothing else can be made out of such action. In tins matter there never was nor never will be a time to "think about it" after action is taken by the National convention. Somewhere we have I :** read that he who hesitates is lost, and as the truths contained in the : sentence are so appropriate in this c mnection they convey an addi tional emphasis. Democrats, do not pause even to hesitate. The path of duty lays plain before you. It has been blazed out by your fathers and ( fathers farthers. Go into the paity organization with the purpose of committing the party to silver, aud having made the fight, be\ firm aEd i immovable iu your determination to suf^port the action of the convention. But what is the use of talking about a bolt when we have the cool, calm pnd deliberate opinion of Senator Bnrd ar.d other conspicious silver lights that free silver will control the National convention? If this be true, and we do net doubt the correctness ~ 1 * 4 of til? assertion, wny hoc come out fearlessly in urging Democrats to turn out to their club meetings and advisiDg them to be faithful in their j : allegiance to the party no matter what the result of its action might be at Chicago? This paper has never knowingly | misrepresented Senator Tillman on any position he has taken in reference j to public affairs. His positions are ! clearly defined and expressed in such unmistakable language that only his bitterest political enemies can misrepresent him. So when he advised his friends to bolt the party in the ?vent the Chicago convention refused a silver platform and a nominee in j sympathy with silver, we thought I he meant exactly what he said, and 1 not being in the inner circle of his confidence, our ignorance is, there- I fore pardonable. Being by education, inclination and principle opposed to his advice to bolt the party, we attacked his position as being untenable, unwise and fraught with grave daDger to the silver interest. The News and Courier editorily says. "The table of "comparative mill purchases is particularly interesting for us. South Carolina heads the list with plenty of margin to spare. The record, in the order of the number of bales purchased, is as follows: South Carolina, *220,078; Georgia, 143,386; North Carolina, 131,748; Alabama, 44'0S1: Tennessee, 16,464: I Virginia, 16,0S4; Mississippi, 11,66*2: Kentucky, 10,415: Louisiana, 7,439; Texas, 5,751; Arkansas, 1,570" Yet we are told by t'ue News and Courier, Columbia State. Greenville News and otherrabid anti papers tbat the rule of Tillman and the Reform wiDg cf the Democratic party had been injurious to the prosperity of ths State. In the language of a western* poet "Great God, what a wboppeil Sally, Democrats. ITo tbe .Editor of the Dispatch;, If you will be kind enough to give me a short space in your eolniuDS, I will say a word on our present political situation. The point .about which I will speak is, as to what action we should take in regard to the National Democratic contention. I have always found it the part of wisdom, in order to bring about any result through political chaunels, to adopt tho widest and best course to accomplish those results. We cau only be guided in human secular affairs by duty, reason and experience. "What is the experience of the Democrats in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Texas, who left the Democratic party iu 1S30 and made their light under a new party Hag? "What have they accomplished for the principles for which they fought ' How many Alliance Congressmen have they? Kow many have we? In North Carolina, by combining with the Kepub licans, they have secured some local victories. (How a free silver man can co-operate with a Southern or Eastern Republican, dear money people?I cannot comprehend.) Iu Georgia. Tom Watson, one among the brightest stamp speakers the South has produced, was elected to Congress so lo.ig as he made bis fight in the Democratic paity. So soon as he went out, he was beaten, and the country at large has lost his valuable services in the hall of Congress in favor of national legislation for the benefit of the agriculturist. He has seen his mistake, but it is now too late. In 18(J0 we made our fight within the Democratic party. To-day we have accomplished all we demanded in local legislation, and besides have maintained in the State, a party in which white men settle their own differences among themselves, and the majority govern. 1 his condition (the rule of the majority of white men) will continue if we maintain, our present organization. Why cant we make the same fight in the national Democratic party. Senator Tjllman is making a tour of the Western States. Many papers say he is launching a Presidential boom. I say his primary object, and I know what I am talking about, is to arouse in the Democrats and silver men in the West such enthu siasm as will enable them to capture the National Democratic convention i ?the same tactics as used in this State in 1890 to get control of the Democratic organization. If we have succeeded here in this way why try unknown paths in National politics until we find this method will not avail? If we are to have a silver President, he must be elected upon nomination by the Democratic party. It is not an assured fact that he can be thus elected?but I say this is the only hope.. J would gladly welcome a contest simple and pure between silver and gold, but in this country such cannot be had under present political conditions. Then I am of the opinion that the safest course for us to adopt is to attend the club meeting. Send good men to the county conventions; let these send good men to the State convention, let it inturn send good men to the Chicago convention, on an unequivocal silver platform, demanding a national silver platform, i and nominee. My present judge* | ment is that the silver rnfcn will control the National convention, j p but if wo should divide and have a contesting delegation, it may put a different face on the matter. Then I am in favor of every man doing his duty in our present organization and not crossing the bridge before j we get to it. Let us make an honest effort to get a silver man nominated ! by the Chicago convention, and if we fail it is time enough to decide what is best to do under the surrounding circumstances. No such strong effort has* been made. In 1892 many silver Democrats stayed at [ home in the North and West and allowed the convention to be run J by those not in sympathy with them. ! If you do likewise now by staying away from the clubs certain defeat \ must come to the silyer men. Dp ! | not follow this example but go into J | your clubs, and make their action ! you. Let whatever is done be done by the rank and file of the party and not by a few leaders. I think it j unwise to send a delegation to Chicago instructed to vote under certain circumstances. Cut if such course is to be adopted, let it be done by | the people. Tillman has been attacked ! and frequently misrepresented in his present position, but you pjust remember that he advises every man ! to attend his club meeting, and have j the whole people to act and s^nd j together in whatever is done on the 20th April, 1806. 0.

Oa Saturday, tlic second day of May, tho Democratic clubs are requested to meet for re-organization. No He form Democrat should fail to go to his club meeting. It will not do to break ranks this election year. To do so will be to disorganize the Itefonuers, and the farmers' government of South Carolina will forever be a thing of the past. Opposed to the Reformers are the 'Lily white' Republicans. This wing of the g. o. p. iu Soulh Carolii a is made up of sore head politicians, uncompromising "Straight outs/' antiquated Scott and Moses Republicans aud negroes, all clamoring for the spoils of office. The leaders of this moDgrel conglomeration mostly live in tho towns and cities and by easy methods eat, drink, and dress on the labor of the farmers. Reformers, this horde of carmorants are after you. Their purpose is to take control of the State government and, thus to more easily control you and get your hard earnings for nothing. Please stick a pin rigLt here: Republicanism iu South Carolina means negroism. Do you believe this? It is true. Do you wish to be ruled by negroes who will eventually kick out the "Lily white" renegades and take all the offices to themselves ? Reformers, will you submit to negro rule f You will have it to do unless you turn out in full force at your club meetings and keep in full foice your State Democratic organizations. This is Senator Tillman's advice to us and the more we study the true situation the more fully are we convinced that this is at this time the only true and safe course for us to pursue to retain the State government, where it of right prop; erty belongs. In 1890 Ben 8 advice was good and right, and it was through his lead that the Reformers wrecked the State government from the hands of the old regime, and every person who now holds an office under the Reform government of South Carolina from Congressman down through the State and county offices, owe their places and emoluments of office to the successful fight made by Ben Tillman in 1890. Yet some of these office holders now claim to know more than Tillman, and are even trying to advise him. Ben is not iufalliable but he may be as nearly, if not more so, than these aftermath wise acres. We want more money, and all the gold in the world is not of sufficient volume to do the business of the United States alone. How then, can we have it? Only as Tillman says, by the free coinage of gold and silver and the issuranco of treasury notes by the government only, with a banking system that will prevent the congestion and concentration of the currency in the cities to the detriment of the country. In the West, in the South and in the North the friends of free silver and a greater volume of currency are to be found, and they are found I among the Democrats, Itepublicans ! and Populists; indeed the West is on fire on this great issue, and our Ben is out there adding fuel and with his pitchfork is stirring the 1 o iring flames. God bless his efforts and crown them with success. Our State Executive Committee acted wisely by leaving it to the clubs to make known their wishes in i reference to the course our delegates to Chicago are to pur?ue in case a single gold standard platform is adopted, with Cleveland or some gold bug as our candidate for President. Can we rote for Cleveland or any gold dollartor? No, no. What then shaT we do? Why follow Ben Tillman, and with a union of friends from all the old pn ties for free silver and a greater volume of currency, we shall elect our President by an overwhelming majority. It is to be hoped that our dubs will be fcerrd^from for free silver and more money. These are my views and I would bo pleased to hear from others'on these issues. J. H. Koon.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: The program now says rush in cotton and plenty of it, and dos'tletany one fool you to plant peas when you have fixed for cotton.

The President, Sidney J. Derrick, being absent, Vice President S. S. Linder, called the meeting to order, which was opened with prayer by S. R. Bridges of the Leesville oollege. An address of welcome was made by Enoch Hite and this was responded to by S. S. Lindler. This meeting may be truly called a substitute affair, as there was not one present of those who were ap pointed on the program to lead in the disoussions. The program was adhered to and all members present manifested a lively interest in the discussion of the difierent' subjects. The President appointed the following to lead. Industrial Education-S.R.Bridges. Should our free school term be supplemented by a local tax levy ?? W. K. Black. Lexington County Schools?Miss Ellen Hendrix, Elocution in the school?C. J. Ramage.
