The Lexington Dispatch! Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1894. G. M. HARMAN, Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. JUNE 17. 1806. ? COL. ZNOLTS ANSWSR3D. Col. D. J. Knotts publishes a preE tended reply to our criticisms of, not his position, but the Republican party in reference to its Southern policy. Lik9 all writers who cannot meet argument with argument, he resorts to assertions and to a weak and foolish attempt at ridicule with a startling japidity that is both amusing andclownish. This paper has never personally aousea ^o1. xvnotts. >?e iuujr recognized his right to exercise his privilege of indepedent political action as his judgment dictated without having his motives impugn and we acted accordingly. But when he 90 severely arraigned the Democratic paity od charges which were erroneous, that we took him to task and questioned their correct . - ness. That we have succeded in our I( effort to show the fallacy of his charges is clearly shown in the temper of his reply, in his illogical reasonings and in the baseless assertions he makes. TVe are fully aware that personal abuse of latter day conveits to Republicanism is generally craved as the best political capital to be had to arouse the sympathies of their Northern allies as a stepping stoDe to the U. S. District Attorneyship or some other fat office for instance, hence we have been very guarded. So much for impugning motives. Had we desired to do so, however, Cbl. Knott's political record certainly offers an inviting and fruitful field in , which there are more than reasonable grounds to conclude that his recent tumble was caused not only from patriotic motives, to say the least of it. Let us see. For years he has been a prominent and conspicious light in the Democratic party, taking i j - -a:? 1 a leaamg ana acu\e pan in wuuij politic?, presiding over conventions and asking the suffrage of his fellow Democrats. Yet during all this time not a word fell from his lips against the principles of the party, as far as we have been able to ascertain, certainly no liue was penned by him. Oa the other hand, he defended them with ability, zeal and enthusiasm. In 1880 he was a candidate for Senator, having two strong opponents [Maj. H. A. Meetze and Dr. G. Muller] and made a very creditable run, having received 412 votes, but was defeated. Do our citizens remember one word that he uttered against the principles of Democracy? In 1892 he again appeared in the political arena. He entered the race for the House as a Tillmanite, was voted for as such and elected as one. He then found no fault with Democratic principles. In the campaign of '91 he was a candidate for re-election but declining to express himself as between Tillman and Butler, many of his warmest friends withdrew their support, and at Irmo he virtually gave up the race, although the public annoucement of his withdrawal was made only a few days before the primary, declaring himself an Independent candidate in the hands of the Conservatives and was de'eated at the general election. Was it not then that he firs>t began to find that the principles of Democracy were wrong? He could not go back to the Reformers and ask for office; the Conservatives were not strong enough to give him one and his only chance lay with the Republicans, **1 cir* f i n rr 4 m r WiiUBC piUOjJCWbO IVi ^tVVViu^ WUVA4 national ticket was then bright. From the above we could have logically reasoned that the desire for office was the motive for embracing the Republican doctrines, but we preferred to throw the cloak of charity around him. gave him the benefit of the doubt and did not impugn his motives. As between the principles of Democracy and Republicanism we are intensely partizan. But the publication of his articles is evidence that we take no unfair advantage of an opponent and give to all the right to express their views on public quest ons no matter how those views may conflict with ours. As to the "paucity of our materials and the helplessness of our position," it being a mere belief for which be dees not and cannot give an intelligent reason, he can bug the delusion if it gives him any satisfaction, while we have the pleasure of kowning that we have the approval of our conscience and the "commiseration of progressive think ers," neither of which has he. The claim that the registered negro rote will not exceed 20,000 is the merest speculation of the wild est kinu. As the books of registration are now open, there is absolutely no evdence upon which to base his claim. And right along this line has he fallen iDto the blunders that he has made. He has accepted his individual beliefs as indisputable facts and he is not liberal enough in bis views to see that those who dift'er with him are by far a il ii ^r'waTwwsgMg?EgMKBiw yufi?-? greater distance from the bordeis of political lunacy than he his. But | the Dispatch admitted that so loDg > | as the whites remained united on po- \ litical issues there was no daDger of c ; negro supremacy. But contended j ^ that as soon as designing and un- j g scrupulous white men, in order to i { u^e the negro as cat's paws to pull 1 i their political chestnuts out of the fire t and coach them ftr a political fight, that moment is white suprem- ] acy endanger, which danger is j increased by a division of the f whites, by awakening in the breast { of the ne^ro an ambition to seek i i ? political office. His ass?rtion that ] the white Republicans desire it no more than the most infuriated Demo- < crat, is flatly and most clearly contradicted by the policy of the party as ] carried out. When a white man con i sorts with the brother in black, i makes of a fiiend and an equal, as i sisted and aided by a party whose k< y >tone in the arch of principles is negro equality, thedanger is not such noasence as he would have us believe. When he asserts that the negro does not want supremacy, it is very effectively contradicted by Col. Knott's own experience. We do not for a moment question the correctness of his version of the St. Matthew incident, but he must remember that the facts remain that his name was put in nomination, that he was voted for and that he was defeated for a delegate to the St. Louis convention by a negro. We mention this with no unkind feeling toward Col. Knotts, but only in defense of our position that when the negro has the power he will use it to maintain his own supremacy. Col. Knotts certainly must have been considerably rattled when he charges us with straddling the tariff issue. We are in honest and respectable company, among whom are some of the profoundest thinkers of this and past generations, and we are contented to straddle. True, there was a Republican party prior to the "Black party" but that party has for years been known as the Democratic, and its founder was Thomas Jefferson and his compatriots, and was organized during the latter part of Washington's second term in opposition to the ungrateful policy of the Administration toward the French and other measures of au economic and political nature. That party sands today, as it has always stood, the "white man's party." The slavery question has been settled for all time to come and sealed with the life blood of. the patriotic sons of the South. The tears of the widow and orphan as they gush from bleeding hearts and streaming eyes and drop in woe and sorrow upon the sacred earth in the bosom of which their loved ones peacefully sleep; the maimed, the halt and blind, Confederate veteran with bended form and frosting brows struggling for the necessaries of life; the white shafts dotting our beautiful and glorious Southland, lifting their white heads I in the pure air of heaven, standing as j representees of woman's gratitude, j thoughtful and loving remembrance j of the heroes who died in defense \ l of right, their country, their homes and their property, are perpetual, everlasting and eternal barriers preventing patriotic and liberty loving men of the South from entering this "Black Republican paily." The "moral coward" cap, does not fit us, so we will not wear it. It ! would have been more consistent, j however, with true bravery to say j who are the "moral cowards'' than to ' have resorted to innuendoes. He contradicts himself for he ! I charges the Democratic party with I attempting to take away the right 1 of free speech and free action, and j then admits that this party, by j reducing the registered negro ' vo'e to 20,000, has brought ; about that time when it is ! possible for white men to divide with- i ! out fear or negro supremacy, and j proceeds with his fault finding again. It seems to us that gratitude would { cause him to fali upon his knees and thank his God that the Democratic party has made it possible for him to obtain the priceless boons which he | claims has been denied him. The measures of the Republican party were undoubtedly waronesand i j we thank Col. Ivnotts for conceding j | this. The war is claimed to have ended j ! thirty-one years ago, but these same measures are in force tcdav to the injury of the laborers of the country and to the benefit of the rich Republican bankers of the North. We have judged fairly, been just, I looked at matters as they really are, j and have given the public our coneluj sions. j We could have published severer j | criticisms of Col. Knotts' defeat than j j that tak^n from the Orangeburg j | Times and Democrat,but in deference ; to his feelings, we used our judgment and gave the unvarnished facts. The National Republican party at : St. Louis, in seating the Webster j faction, which represents the doctrine of hate and negro supremacy, has unqualifiedly set its seal of condemnation upon the contentions of Col. S Knotts, unmistakably repudiated bis ! assertion and fully sustained the I Dispatch in all claims and renders a continuation of thi3 controversy I unnecessary. SILVER HAS WON SHE DAY. ' The fight for the control of the S'aliooal Democratic convention has j >ecu made and the friends of the free :oiuage of silver have won a glorious victory. It is conceded now by the fold bugs that the silverites will have I i two thirds majority and thus nom ] n ite their candidates for President ( ind Vic President. The Republicans have nominated McKinley upon a siDgle standard platform. This action makes the result of the general election uncertain and make the chances for silver ] to win much more brighter than it , has been. ' The nrobabilitv is however, that L- ? the election will be thrown in the House, which being largely Republican, will elect Mclynley and the Senate will probably elect a Democrat as Vice President. All we can j do in the meantime is to marshal out forces, watch and wait and be pre ( paied for any emergency. I MAKINJ THEIR MARK. Lexington boys have covered them- 1 selves with distinction and glory at I the Newbe ry College. Among those i who spoke are the following with 1 their subjec s: James Calk, Lexing- < ton, S. C, Intelligence?A National I Safeguard. J. S. Derrick, Hilton, S. C, Social < Discontent. j P. D. Risinger, Leesville, S. C., Newberry College. i F. K. Roof, Brookland, S. C., Infi- ! delity or Christianity?Whi(h? i E U. Shealy, White Rock, S. C., A Demand of the Age. 1 The gold medal for the best oraton, ] regard being had to matter as well as delivery, was awarded to Mr. E. | U. Shealy of White Rock as the successful contestant for the prize, and the beautiful gold medal was presen- j ted by Col. John. F. Ficken, chair- , man of the committee. ( Mr. Sidney J. Derrick was elected President of the alumni association. , Lexington gracefully makes h<r. prettiest bow in recognition of the ( honor conferred upon her gifted sod, ( and feels satisfied that he will discharge the duties with honor to himself and county, credit to the alumni and to the best interest and prosperity of his beloved alma mater. The State campaign will open at Manning Monday next. The candidates who have so far sent in their pledges are: W. H. Ellerbe and Walt Whitman for Governor, Stanyarne Wilson and J. W. Stokes for Congress, General Watts and R. N. Richbourg for Adjutant General, Thomas Seaee for Solicitor of Seventh Circuit, P K. Nelson and J. William Thurmond, Solicitor Fifth Judicial Circuit, J. Kellough Henry, Solicitor Sixth Judicial Circuit; J. Duncan Bellinger, Solicitor Second Judical Circuit; H F. Ansel, Solicitor Eighth Judicial Circuit; J. H. Featherstone, Seventh Circuit? Dr. Timmerman for Lieutenant Governor. It is probable that Judge Earle and Congressman McLaurin will enter the race for United States Senator. This year will be noted for cyclones, tonadoes and other planetary disturbances but the one that will be longest remembered will be the silver storm which swept the gold bugs out of existence. Dr. Bates bas put a quietus on the boud deal so far as he is concerned and when the others sperk they will do the same- We have always believed that there was nothing but spite work in the charges. Free silver won in a primary election in Georgia last week, and Speaker Crisp has been nominated for United States Senator, which is equal to an election. Mrs, Anna Gap, wife of ExDeputy U, S.

Although I never used any secret remedies before, I prescribe St. Joseph's Sarsaparilla in my practice as I would any prescription of my 1 own compounding, and any physician who will do the same will be greatly pleased at the results achieved. In my opinion it is superior to all others and has been especially useful to me in Rheumatic and Scrofulous cases. i R. M. KITTREL, M. D. For further information call at Julian E.
