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

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.
