________ ATTENTION. DEMOCRAT8. AN Al'DPEiS TO Till DEMOCRACY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. Id Accordance with the instructions cf the Deuiocrnic Conference which roei in Columbia on July 10th, the following address has boen issuei by the Advisory Cotnmi'tee : To the Democracy of South Carolina : All whito Caro'iuans woithy of the race fiomwh:ch they sprmg and of the name they bot.r, and entitled to shnre in I lie tradition of the past, the prosperity of the present and the hope of the future, are m Democrats. To such, and only such, we carina-ly and confidently appeal. All that Wo have and are, all that wc liore for and desire to transmit to our clii'dren, depends upon the cpntiuunnce of white supremacy in this State; and this supremacy depends upon our devotion and loyt'l y to Democratic principles, unity, barmony and organization within party lines, obedience to the rules and faith in the justice and success of Democratic aims, p irposes and im thods. To each sucoecding generation of our race is entrusted the ark of civilization, and upon each devolves the sacred duty of defending, preserving and transmitting our racial heritago of civil and religious liberty, the fruits of labor and of thought, the gar. nered stores of material and intellectual wculih?all that is gool of what our raco has won and held !>y hand or brain, by valor, industry or wisdom, throughout the ages. Is tins generation of Carolina Democrats equnl to the trust ? Judging the future by the past, we unhesitatingly answer, yes. It is however, true that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and tho least vigilant Miint in ???^pending .over us.**At ** tune when our State is prosperous beyond precedent, waxiog each day stronger in material wealth, leading in the race f >r mechanical and industrial supremacy, our people living and thriving under laws made hy legislators, interpreted by Judges and executed by officials of our own race and choice, with peace and security at home, respect and credit abroad, we are sud-iciCy confronted with such danger as has never bef-ro threatened tho Democracy of this S'ate ; ths danger of division in our own ranks. Infallibility and perfection are divine at tributes, and have never yet been granted to human wisdom or hum.n institutions. If injustice lias been done, crrois have been committed, or mistakes have been made, remember that to err is human ; aud remember also that the great party to which wc belong is broad enough, strong enough, wise enough and just enough to right all wrongs, correct all errors, rectify ail mist ikes and mete out equal an l impartial just co to all men. Remember that all true Carolinians are Democrats, ami as such entitled to a full, free and equal t-ha-e in the management, contiol and policy of the party, and that it requires the combined and earnest efforts of n 1 Democrats in the State to keep the Republican wolf from our door. As Democrats, we know 110 class. Brothers in blood and race, destined to stand or fall together, wo deprecn o all efforts, fr >m wha'evcr ( source, to destroy tho unity and integrity upon which tho strength and life of our , pa ty depend. In order to better undcrstind tho position wo uow occupy, let us rcoa'l the lii?tory of ' Cue movement which has leru'tei in the condition now?confronting u?, and take counsel togother on 'his extraordinary emergency * in our pnriy affairs. a :? 1 " ? wmcu iuu ouuiposeu ci iirmors rcpro- I seating not less than twenty six Counties in I the State, held in tlio city of Columbia on i December 1st, 1887, unanimously adopted the following resolutions: "Resolved, That it is not the puyiose of the Farmers of the to ?nab?[ their organization ^^y^noniicnu body hostile to othp?, classej^ yjiMHtS, ja'.-jt . their intention to atlack. (bp ^iflWnilxo^Sld ' latatoiafl&jw^ aor-tbeiispthtf iawfi dictate to the Legislature. "That we belieee i^ the thorough organisation oftfit^hrmers of the State with the 'object and firm purpose of developing its agricultural resou m \ These resolution * ^rioVtod by B. R. Ti 1man a^yrnjrmnn ot cominitteo on resoliftidU^irere adopte 1 without debate nt his tequhst, and expressed the purpose and scope of the movement inaugurated by him (aud the will of the people represented in that movement) In November, 1888, another convention of the association of tho association was held nt Columbia with small attendance, which elected a new Executive Committee, having G. W. Shc'l as president and chairman ex.oj/icio. I No meeting of the association was called or held in 1889 und tho Shell commit- ( tee held over, their successors not having been appointed. In November, 1889, this I committee met in secret w thout instructions fr mi or uotica to tho association, and authorized G. W. Shell, as chairman ex-officio, to issue a call for a convent on to meet iu Colurr- ( bin on the '27tli day of March, 1890. Perverting the authorl'y thus given and in willful disobedience of the expressed will and purpose of the association as set forth in the resolutions of 1887, 0. W. Shell, over liis signalure in his official capacity as president and ex-ojjlcio ohairman, and with the connivance of B. 11. Tillman himself declares issued the call now known ns the Shell Manifesto, in which lie says : "We will draw up the indictment against those who have been and arc mi ill governing tins State," thus seeking to array the farmers in a position of hostility to other c'a?scs of Democratic e tizens and to noieon llioir minds arm inn I tlia AfFiniata ?.? whom that party had entrusted the administration of I lis State government since 1870. For his own sc fish purposes, the farmers have been taught that to criticise Tillman is to abuse the Farmers' Movement, tlia' to oppose his methods of nomination is to oppose farmers themselves, and that to declare him unworthy of support is to say that the farmers huvo no right to meddio in politics or to suggest either men or measures to the party. We beg our brother Democrats to disabuse their minds of all such ileas and to listen to us ns friends who are equally interested with them in the true welfare of the State. Not one farmer in ten believes charges made in this campaign against tho Demosratic party or its officials.? Kvery fair-minded advocate of the Farmers' Movement sincerely regrets that such obarget have been made and rejoices that they have not been sustained. A majority of the Democrats who are embraced in this movement linve begun to realize the strength of organization and to recogoizo the fact that in llirir hinds rests the political power of the State under Democratic control. We beiieve that they endorse neither Tillman nor hit statements or methods as such, but tha? their ko!<j desire is to promote the success of their own movement. This brings us to common ground. A majority of the furmers in the movement csi-e not so much ?'or Tillnisn as for the success of the movement; the great majority of o'her Democrats do not object to tbo movement, tint do object to Tillman. We all agree that within Democratic lines the farmers of the State have a decided and available majority, and can, with the assistance of their Democ'ft'ic brethren of other avocations, so control the policy of the party as to secure to all c'osses their proper share of inflnenoe in the administration of the government. The attainment of this result require! the free and cordial c-operation of all elements of the Democratic party. To secure such cooperation it is essential thai the nominee of the party for the high office of Governor of thii proud old commonwealth should not be a mail who h s besmirched her fair fame, slandered her officials, distorted her history, outraged her diguity, betrayed the confidence if h 8 own supporters and endangered (he integrity of the Democratic party by rowing the reeds of dissension among rs numbers ; and there are grounds for apprehon-ion that in the eveut of a refusal by iho August Convention to crder a primary election, ail I of the nomination of B. It. Til'man by the September Convention, a large number of his opponents, while acquiescing in such a result on grounds of party feulty and politic?1 necessity, cannot be induced to give to him that active support which alone vrill insure the election of the Democratic nominees in case the Kepublkan pany puts a ticket in the field. In the eyes of all true Democra's, ,tbe maiutinieco of white supremacy in the State and the pioservation of the blessings of which that supremacy is the only guarantee, are paramount considerations, superior to the aspirations of any individual. The free and untrninineled expression of the popular fill within the Hues of the party organiiao > will constitute an authoritative declaration which must cornm tndready and willing obedience. But such au expression can only be obtained by iho a'o.tion of the primary plan. This plan has been demanded by the March Convention ; the demand has been reiterated by the Democratic Conference which assembled in Columbia on July 10th, and we express the confident hepc that it will bo further reinforced by the voice of a united Domocracy. From a verdict thus rendered there can bo no appesl. The crisis confionting us is the Rrivest thnt lias arisen in this State since 1870. Tho highest patriotism can alone prove equal to its exigencies. 1^ is time for demagogues to be sent to the rear and loyal and unselfish citizens brought to the front. It is wi'h this conviction nod in this ?p:*"it that inmo household of political faith shoulJ be nl cnated liom each other by iho avtiSces of anibit:ous.politicians is as dangerous as it is unnatural, and must redound to the lasting injury of the party and the State, unless the breach is healed.

There seems to be a kin ! of Union League organizat on among the Tillman fol. lowers 1 lie tame style of proceedings and resolutions, with slight changes in the wording to suit time and place, arc passed at each meeting with singular unanimity, as if thry came from headquarters of the b)ss, who says publicly, "I am running the Tillman Machine," and "I am the dog that wags the tail of the party," and any man that opposes these resolutions sent fiom these headquarters will be nad out of the party. Occasionally some one, fearing his fidelity to the Tillman cause may be doubted gets up oue or two extra resolutions, raoro denunciatory and bitter agninst the democratic party and its o'd members, and has them attached to the may-be authorized resolutions.

Some persons are eo completely wrapped up in Ti'lman that they accuse every man who does not endorse him and his methods, of being opposed to the Farmers Movement, and straightway go to abusing and threatening them for not opening their mouths and swallowing Tillman whole, without asking any questions, as they are doing. They have become so jealous and suspicious tlnii vmi t'innol fimoftlf f.ivnrAhlv nf o hswlu unti-Tillmanitcs, but they immediately think you are casting a slur at dclcgutcs to a Tillman convention or meeting, and hold up certain of ihein and ask if anything can be said against their democratic integrity when ootlitng of the 1 ind has been even hinted at.? When a man or party gets to begging the question so pitifully as that, we begin to think they arc getting scared. Don't get frightened gentlemen, Tillman is not defeated yet. . . ?

Tnis talk about ep'ilting the Demo- u cratic party, defeating Tillman with >' negro votes, and assassinating him, ia all 0 political clap-trap, and is altogether S too freely used in this catnuaign.

The factiv, we cannot afford S to either split the party or affiliate with the ncgroc, and as to assassination, that is too S revolting, tco dangerous to be thought of l'1 and Tillman knows it, If that was io occur, h r r if it was even atiompted, there is no know- ol ing whore the killing would end.

None, therefore, but a downright fool would willingly throw un obstacle in the way of'its success. If it was needful that any ooe industry should have the preference over another in our legislative > v enactment, with ooe consent all would say let it be the farming interest. But is it not manifest to every thoughtfhl mind that there can be no real prosperity or wb'te supremacy in South Carolina wiUiout^^jV^aK^ S happy blending aad mutual prot?MBBHH|^^MMMh all the avooations that oontributo oharacler or strength to the State gorornmeat? The exciiement that is now coovu sing the State seems to have been born of the idea that the worth of the farmers to the 8iate has not been fury aprreoiatod and consequently they are suffering from legis lative oppression. 11 mis is me uie germ from which sprang the agitation thot lias torn our peoplo asunder, ihen I submit that the blame lies at the uoor *>' the farmers themselves. Four years ago Congress was in the hands of the democrats and tbo country hold them responsible for tho laws they enacted, as the republicans in turn will be held responsible for the laws they are now "making. By parity of reason, sinco the farmers are in a majority in tho legislature they are responsible for the laws that appear on our Statute Books. And the accusation that tho farmers in tho house wero bamboozled does not shift the responsibility. Tho farmers pay threo-scvonths of tho taxes, have four-serein lis of tho population, and five-sevenths of the ropr oscntativcs. No oao objects to this inequality of representation. They Imvo had the ltoos eharo , in tbo law making department of tho 8tato since '76, and when their selfish desire for the whole carcas is realizod, we only hope that the wisdom of their enactments will bo equal to tbo greatness of their responsibility. But wo tremble for the honor of South Ca-olioa if the prevent class agitation is a forecast of jwhat tho fu'uve will bo. If it had been the deliberate and studied purpnso of the farmers in this movo to destroy tho unity of the while raco and disintegrate tho democratio party, they oould not have hit upon a plan that would havo been moro successful. Thoro is no objection to the farmers holding oonveu'ions and embodying their views in platforms. But tho friction ihat caused the blaze of opposition was tho man that they put forward as the exponent of thoso principles. It is well known that Capt. Tillman was an extremes! and inlmica' to a largo number of our oitinens. And tho very state of things that now exi-t in tho State was predicted beforo tho March convention met. If some ono of our able conservative farmers bad boon nominated the race would doubtless have boen made without opposition. Objection to Capt. Tillunn | aocs not mean upposttlun to tluj Tanners Movemont. I presume, however, that Copt. Tillman was put forward for guberaatioral hono-'s, because ho was the first patriotic watch-dog whose false bark led tho peoplo ^ , to suspect that the public crib was bsing plaulcrcd. His claim to exaltation rested in the presumption th?t he had detected wrong doings among the State officials, and that lie had the brain and the courage of his conviction to expose the corruption to public gize. Virtually, self nominated, watch itim, with his eye riveted on the goal of office, 88 he, step by step, proceeds to disintegrate the democratic party. His design must be kid from the farmers, and at the very outset he attempts to cover up the truth under the debris of such epithets as bamboozle, debauched, leprosy and the like. His first oharge was that the democratio government of South Carolina was permanf oH uiliK wa! !?!/*?! 1 ? . rvi.uvn ivprusjr. ine Donor |^I_the party, tho iatogrity cf tho Statu. ?n<l the honesty of her officials demanded thit this charge should be refuted. He was made publioly to admit tha'. his accusation had c.istcnce only in ihe unoie jn nf hta ItotSjflcHRh. ' ire dud Ms Tan of lawyers tbul he claims to wag, then tura around and say you are responsible for the oxcitomcnt in the State. If you bad not replied to our charges there would have been no cruse for excitement. Yon should have lot history construe your silence into guilt. To hang a man without a (rial is a specimen of reformation that stands badly in uoed of being , v v' reformed. His* Jnext thunderbolt is launched at the members of the lower house. From the stump ha t ho deo'ared tbnt they were debauched, bamboozled, etc. Now no honest man believes that McKissick, Sarrutt, Thomas, Fowler and Bcaty sold their vote for a bottle of whiskey or a bc<vuy-do. There are men who are not right themeelve", ever ready to tuspect better men of wrong doings, lie next empties the tial of wrath in the Senate chamber and declares that those honorablo men are guilty of perjury. The animus of that charge grew out of the fket that certain Senators refused to burden our people with sixty thousand dollars for taking an unner*"/* census. By waiting a few years the other Ma?A^Aiuipv4Ua4 U.??i Oaia? ^ plnr^ onu, but Capt. Tillman, believe * T field or the State has suffered di triment because of this delay? In the next p ace be turns his guns on the ladr iad commission. He declares that these men were tied up and tamed as a wild animal. Meaning that they were bribed. Stnnge enough he forgot to tell the farmers the immense benefit the commission hod been to thom. Before the commission cftme into ox stance, tho taxes or rate of freight oa the Columbia, Ch at lotto & August rond for 10 ton* each for 60 miles was as follows : Ferti Izers, $80, Cotton seed, $'21, Cotton seed moal, $60. See the difference to-day, nnd notice the mense saving to the farm rs: Freight on v ferti izers is $20 60, on seed, $0, anion ootton soed meal, $20 60 A saving of more than 60 per cent. Hut is the way these lamed men liolpi <1 the farmers. His next blame falls on the friends of the S'alo University and the Citadel. He charao erizes their graduates as dudes and aristoctals?Men who led ua gloriously to victory or 'he ensanguine field during the war and safely guidod us when the storm of human passion ran highest hi *70. If those men who fele the touch of our elbow in war and in peaoe are dudes and ari-tocrats, then give us more of the same caUber. One would now iman'.nA that hf Kail oinnliiul 1,.If nf nil liis pent up wrath. Nut to. His last blow ia a drive at tbo bard earned honor of our sold ers as they charged ioto the jaws of death. The men who followed Lee and Jackson and bore aloft and uosulliei the flag of the C nfederacy, he now tolls us have been honored enough. Did any Carobnan imagine that the time would over come, when we would be o?lled upon to repudiate the soldiers of the Lost Cause. And in ibis same cooneoiion lie points in glowing terms of self laudatiou to the part he took in the Kllenton riot, as though it was comparable to the battle fields of Va. The foregoing is a picture of the man who is posing before the people as the farmers fiieud. Hp has 40 head of Jersey ca . e, 20 head of mules, and owns 180O acres of land, and is independent of the 1 e<t law. Ho may be a friend to the landed fn'm-r, but what about the tenants f?the cliss that he wan s lo^boss as hirelings. To whpnt he fin say / go and they must g ?, or come and they must come. I ask the publication of the following letter that bis frl-ndhip for linants may do koowb. n me mriuers port at in trying to foroe Capt.
