J. Burdetle, Haskell's Folly. To thc Editor of tho Netos and Courier: Sinoo tho nomination of Mr. IB. R. Tillman by tho political body which assembled on tho 10th instant at tho Stato Hou60, under the title of the Stato Democratic Convention, my name has been some what freely, though generally with courtesy, handled by thc press in connection with tho ofllco of Gov ernor and opposition to thc Tillman party. I havo rccoived lottors from men whoso patriotic motives com manded my respect, and I have had tho assistance of nearly a column of deprecatory editorial advice by tho Atlanta Constitution. Diflicult as it has been to refrain from answering tho letters of my friends, I have kept silent for tho reason that, having presented my views to tho conferences held in July and September, and not having boon sustained, I deemed it unfitting to continue to press them on the public, novor mind how unchanged my judgment may remain. I disre garded the implications and tho advice and tho comments of tho pross because thoy wore without authority, but I am now forced to speak in answer to tho following publication becnuso it claims author ity : "WASHINGTON, Soptombor 27. Colonel John C. Haskell, in an inter view with a loonl paper hore, in speaking about his brothor receiving tho nomination for Governor, said : " 'I am certain that this move ment ?.'ill reccivo no aid or encour agement from my brothor and the other Democratic gentlemen on tho ticket. Though they dislike Tillman, they aro Domoorats. I had a talk with Judge Haskoll recently, and if ho had entertained any idea of allowing himself to be nominated by thc opposition ho would have taken me into Iiis confidence. " *This scheme will not work. Of courso tho Republicans may go ahead and vote for this ticket, but it will not avail thom. AB much ns I disliko Tillman and his methods, 1 proposo to voto for him. So doos Senator Hampton. I consider it tho houndon duty of all true Domoorats to cast their votes for Tillman. So far as my brothor is concerned you may state in tho strongest torms that his nomination by tho Republicans was unsought by bim, and that ho is averse to any snob coalition.' " I am sure that Colonol Haskoll would not havo used my nnmo or claimed to spoak for mo , unless ho was confidont it was my desire, or at least that I had no objection, and unless he folt suro that ho under stood my viows, but wo aro all Hablo to mistake and misapprehension. While ho bad been ontiroly sincero and bas not mado statements that ho did riot think oxaotly ropresontod mo, novortholess tho intorviow makes an entirely wrong. impression on tho public, so far as I am concornod, and while I would romain silont if I woro the only thing at stako, I have too many friends who havo stood by mo to lot my position for a moment bo misunderstood. It is this : . will not vote for Mr. Tillman, and I contend that no Domocrat should vote for him. For tho roasons : First. (A.) That his "manifesto" was falso and hostilo to our Demo cratic party; (B.) That his specohos throughout tho canvass woro slan derous and misrepresented tho Stato and its people; (C.) That ho charged our government sinoo control was acquired in ?870 by tho whito people with'dishonesty, corruption and per jury, all of whioh ho and his aBSO oiatos know to ho untrue. Second. (A.) That tho Demo cratic Convention in August will fully and wontonly violated tho written constitution und the 'spirit of tho party. That tho majority of that body by bold and opon violation of the constitution oxpollod tho duly olooted dolegntcs from Fairfield county, and finally forced, the dele gates from Cb ii vienten, Beaufort, Georgetown, Runtier and Rioblnnd to retir? to avoid participation in further illegal proceedings, whoroby this Convection was disaolvod and had no further powor to ropresent tho Domooraoy, certainly not tho Demooraoy of tho six counties that rotirod, for tho Democratic Conven tions of tho counties roprcsontod ratified their action, thoroby repudi ating tho subsequent proceedings of tho body. By tho unlawful body re maining, and in direct violation of tho written law a new constitution was adopted and tv new Exeoutivo Committee oleoted. |B.) Tho Con vention for tho 10tb?of September had been called by till lawful Execu tive Committoo and could not, under tho constitution, organized for business, oxcopt by tjlio Chairman of that Exccutivo Cotnmittoo. Tho now Exeoutivo Comfnittco assorted their power, ratified the u?U for the September Convention, and claimed tho right to organizo tho body. Tho legal Exeoutivo Comfnittco, instead of asserting and maintaining its rights, made terms with the usurping committee, and it was agreed that tho lawful Chairman should first oall tho body to order, but that it should not bo in order until tho usurping Chairman should also call it to order. Tho C?nvontion was thus surrendered to the illegal Chairman, who practi cally did convene tho .body and con trol its organization. Protest was made, but without avail, but that protest spoke for a free people, who should not submit to partisan tyranny and gag law, whatever tho strugglo may cost. This body, thus called tho Domooratio Convention, pro ceeded to business by thus expelling tho duly olooted Democratic dele gatos from Fairfield, and scating tho Tillman faction, and then expelled thq county of Sumter becauso tho duly elected delegates were from tho legal Democratic Convention, and tho Tillman delegates claiming tho scats bad not a shadow of a titlo. Tho Convention took up the question Cf nominations, and at that stage, already having appealed for our legal rights, having prcsontod a protest, but finding it void to call for truth and justice, myself, with some others, rotirod from tho body and washed our hands Of its proceedings. Technically, therefore, as a true Democrat, I oannot voto for Mr. Tillman. Legally I should not vote for Mr. Tillman. From solf-rcspeot I will not voto for him. Morally T cannot vote for him. Not only not j vote for him, but h ticket should h:\ run against him. Minds that aro ontanglcd by political office aro warped by the importance of suc cess. It is to tho people who disregard office and to tho people who aro broad onough and high onough in patriotism to work for tho whole peoplo and not for a class and section that wo should appoal in an issue liko this that involves all that is dear and snored to those who lovo truth and virtue and pioty, without which no people can bo noble and happy. A bold stand would at any time bavo cbeoked this down gvndo party. Tho fight is harder than in 1876, because we bavo waited too long. But it is never too lato to do what is right. There aro many good men who have boon for "tho chango," as it is called, who would have afltiliatcd under very difforont load ors and on sound principios if thc mon whom wo have honored and Mr. Tillman baa maligned-tho men who bavo represented us and conducted tho government sinco 1870, and tho men who rcdeomod tho Stato in 1870, could bavo thrown off the "rnco" terror and disregarded thc samo and vindicated tho principien of our truo Domooraoy. But tho same timidity, honest, but mistaken, which so nearly suppressed us in 1870, had too much powor ir tho rccont canvass, and though horoit efforts woro mado by a fow, thc many wero silent and rofuscd to gird on thoir armor bcoauso it scorned tc bo internecine war. Better thal than to surrendor principio anti endorso by a voto tho blackest an<: most unfounded oharges that have ovor been mado against tho State This brings moto tho lust point <faSo far ns my brothor is concornut you may stato in tho strongest tormi that his nomination by tho Bepubli oana wns unsought by bim, and thnj ?.;v"v*' V. '.. .', ho is avorso to any Biioh coalition." No such nomination has boon sought nor has it boon made. Tho sontonco takon by itsolf may bo oorrcot, but In. conj auction with tho proooding produces a wrong impres sion. Of course, I cannot seek or aocopt a nomination by tho Republi oan party, for I am not a Republican; 1 ?ic ?nero could I accept a nomination by tho Tillman party, because its platform is as anti-Donooratio as is tho Republican platform. < But I will not avoid tho issue, and j will speak tho truth as plainly as I j oan, No man moro than mysolf ' deplores tho oxorcise of suffrago, or 1 I should say tho right of suffrago, by ' the colored rnoo. It puts tho wonkor 1 in conflict with tho stronger. Tho \ inevitable result vvhoro tho Anglo- t Saxon race moots a weaker is subjuga- i tion. From 1868 to 1876 tho weaker, 1 !ed by white mon, backed by armed ] force, oppressed tho strongor. In 1876 tho position rovorscd, and tho i Stato assumed tho attitude held by J other Southern States-tho whito ] race dominant and tho colored raco 1 with tho suffrage majority passive. 1 This condition is anomalous and oan ( oniy bo continnod by tho presorva- 1 Lion of two factors whioh have prc- ? vailed, but have steadily diminished 1 from year to yoar until now. Tho t first is a govornmont whioh com- < mauds tho approval and consent of t tho. whole whito population. Tho ? other is such proteetion of person t md propo*. ty and all legal individual t rights of thc colored raco as roasona- c oly compensates their surrender of i mffrago and renders their condition < better than ono of antagonism. 1 This was tho apjieal made by our ' noblo loader in 1876, and this was 1 our platform. The eleotion was car- c ried by the aid of twelve or eighteen * thousand colored votes, and our Gov- } srnor was trusted by all and beloved 1 by most of both races. Eight years 1 of trial had strengthened tho patri otism of a devoted people, and had purged thoir reason. Tho nature of tho now gdvoriimont was then under stood and accopted by all. Conces sions wore made by representatives of all classes and all opinions woro recognized ai\d respected. In tho Stato ticket of 1876 tho loaders of tho opposition wero givon positions of rank and honor. Tho Stato was a united body. We will not tinco the history. Take tho results. Tho press denounces and the Representa tives of tho people r?sout what is called tho arbitrary and oppressive rulings of tho Speaker of the House of Representatives in Congress, and perhaps properly. Tako the conven tions held in this State tn August and Soptembor of this year and view tho conduct of tho Prosidoiit, sustained by his majority. Spoakor Reed's rulings are but as child's play compared with tho expulsion of delegations and tho passing of reso lutions by this Domooratio Presi dent. Thc unity is destroyed, and a party divided against itsoU is worse than no party. Therefore, though tho truth bo bitter, it is safer to re cognize it and act promptly. , I will not mako any personal com ment on tho Tillman loadors or their records, or tho claims thoy may have upon ' tho hearts and minds of tho people who have adopted thom as thoir guidos. I simply say that their principles and their practices aro alike inimical to tho notions and actions of tho idoal govornmont of 1876. That ideal govornmont was established, and its continuation has so far contributed to a period of unoxnmplcd prosperity throughout tho Stato. Tho party now seeking power denounces it in epithets that it is needless to ropcat, as they havo been heard in ovory county and cor ner in the State for six weary months. Tho issue is plainly beforo us. Shall wo try to preserve those prin ciples which have boon so dear to us and productivo of good to all, or shall wo abandon thom, for we know not what, with much to fear and lit tle to hope ? Wo havo a responsi bility, not of our own making, but it is on ns, and what an all-ruling Pro vidence has placed man,cannot ro movo. Wo have our own raco to preserve and we havo another race to protect. Our government is dual in its object, but singlo in its repr? sentation. Tho whito man is to govern, but tho black raco is to be protcotod. This is not only our moral duty, but tho violation of it is, and justly so, our temporal ruin. Wo ieoi no assurance that tho Till man government, an unrestrained, poworfid minority, will bo othor than rookies*, and oppressive in ita ovoou tion a? it'hns been in its inoiplonoy. ITlWBTniTrMriTtHrriTO I thoroforo unequivocally advooato an opposition ticket, to organize a minority if wo can do no more, but to control tho government if possi ble. With this Domooratio tiokot in the fiold wo should ask tho support and maintain tho rights of colored voters as wo did in 1870. I would not raistako tho colored people. Tho whito man controls the proporty and will control the government, but whon tho white race divides it is a' question with tho colored race whioh pkrty will host govern tho State. On this their voto rauat depend. Tho wrotohod spoctaole of - purchase and bribery is almost suro to follow, riioroforo I wish that tho raoo could bo disfranchised if wo could havo a guarantee of thoir protootion. Hut ihat is impossible. Their right of uiffrago is thoir nominal protootion; ibo dab's of whito peoplo thoy sup- i port is thoir roal protection. /. \ Friends may Valso a groat outcry igainst any allusion to colored voters. [ ask them is it without prCocdont? ? [ ask thom and some of tho most /ira.loni to name tho municipal oleo- i : ions, outside, perhaps, ?f Citarlos- ; ;on and Columbia, when this voto ? tad not boon oalled to the front. I j isk for tho returns on thc oloctions ?old to impose tho bonded debts for j ho construotion of railroads and \ )ther purposoB during tho past j .wolvo years.

To oiid it in a woi'd : It seems to .ny humble, judgment more impor tant at this day to opposo tho oloo :ion of Mr. Tillman than it was to >ppoBO tho eluotion of- Mr. J). H. Chamberlain in 1876. Friends loved ind esteemed charged mo then with folly and madness. I will now bo charged in like manner. The results vindicated my judgment then. God knows tho future; but my conscience is my law, and no party will or raoo terror shall strip mo of tho right to say or do what my sonso of duty ?ictates. A. C. 11 ASK i:i.i.. Advico to Boys. It is an old saying that if a young man savos his first ?1*1,000 ho will got rioh--that is BO often in''nine casos out of ton-yes, if he will save his first $1,000 ho will succeed and any young man can save that much in a year if ho will lot whiskoy and to bacco and society girls alono. So cioty will keep a poor young man poor. I am thinking now of a mar ried man who is bowed down with debt, while his family is trying to keop on tho ragged edge of sooioty. A milliner makes thoir clothes, and thoy aro obliged to ride in a carriage when thoy go visiting. Sttoh people aro tho talk of the town antUthey do not know lt. There aro nico young mon in evory town who havo beon olorking for years and have not laid up ? dollar. Thoy must tako tb every show that comes along, and spend $r? on evory dance, for those who danoo must pay tho fiddler. Capital is vory partioular thoso days. Whon oapital wants a youiig man it looks around for ono who does not smoke, drink or gamble-ono who saves his money and doos not run about every night. Family i nil nen co is not worth a cont now. A young man stands on his own merits, his habits, his associations. Young man, Ihoro is a blue book in ovory town and your namo is on it. But thoro is no excuse for a young mnn failing to got employment in this blessed country. If ho doo8, it is his own fault. If ho cannot, got rich fast ho can slow. If he hogan young and worked hard and behaved woll ho will accumulate plenty for his old ago. Old ago wants monoy. It wants rest and should havo it. "Otium oum digni tato" is tho Latin for dignified leisure But I heard Judge Underwood say it meant "rest opmos aftor digging." Dig first and rest afterwards.
