. A9DXXM n* rrrtmvumxrrris. 7b /A? Struightout Democrat* ty" South Carolina : The approach of the contest of 1892 baa summoned jour committee to its post of duty. A brief survey (bows the faction that usurped power in 1890 standing amid the ruins of the Democracy cf 1870 upon a prostrate Slits and ruttag r ver a suffering pe pit. Instead of relaxing, the oil of party rule has been tightened and freedom of election at tht pr ui?rii? '" l rir::; f,vi?n ? as oeen deetroyed by requi'cments ml oaths which will exclude men who have sclf-rcs pect and love of liberty. The promises put f.rth by the faction deuvHvawt ipJ890 hare not hen fulfilled. The evils and the wrongs winch the Straightout Democrats foresaw in 1890, and nguioM ?l wbioh we warned our fellow-Democrats, have qome to pas*. On the other hand, the fblre charges and ories of teachery raised agtiinni us have fallen to iho ground. i iii1 goou bdu minimi ?mrr? miu nuic coii.. oiled by technical patty rules ami forced 10 Tote for the nominee of tlio usurping faotion against the r wil1, or to refrain from voting against him, have had time to learn how valueless is party when not controlled by principle and represented by worthy men, We appeal to those wlio face I the fire uud bore the brunt in 18'.?U to stand firm to their bigh principles in 1K'J2, and wo call upon all good Democrats tojoiu in the fight again si wrong and oppression. We urge the Straightout Democrats and all who are ready to aei with tbem to cling to their colors ami stand firm. Do not misled, by the blandishments of power or the bribes of otlice, to surrender your independence, lnil standing true to principle, loyal to the grand Democracy of lKTfl, and earnest in the stiugglc for the welfare of our State, continue the light against the faetian which has robbed the people of their sovereign right of self-government, and brought nothing but disaster and evil repute upon the State. Tboro is difference of opinion on (lie part of many good men. We say nothing against those who are sincere, but, much as we may respect ilium personally wo urge upon our parly (o disregard any allurements to join tJio dominant faction in order In defeat it, and not in submit lo tyrannical rule to wliichlio allegiance is due, nor lo do evil tliat good may con e of i'. Your coinroiUee urges you It lie patient and remain steadfast, awaiting the time when your service can render g' oil to your comra >a country. And bo BBSurred that when (lie time for netiou comes, those to whom you have entrust!) i the standards of yo ir party will huiiinion y u to duty and, peril ips to victory, but alwaye for the rigbt. Wo appeal to our tollow-DciiMicnils of all fuctiw 3 und all classes to hear the truth and to do us justice. We sick tlie good of the whole people. Wo recogrnzo llio great interest of our St tie t? bo agricultural, nod wliiie we refuse 1 to be subservient to secret ciucusev or cl iss legislation, we nre vainest in our de-ire to prom <ie that interest, upon which the welfare of our Statu is largely dependent. We seek no ollice, we ask i.o reward saw tlie coneciousno-s of having d'Ute our duty. Wc will battle in tlic lanlts for any go id in ill or men put forwaid by tier Democracy, provided we cm vole as Democrats, governed by the principles of 1H7U, and be freed from ilie tyrniny of the existing rules and constitution nftlic faction uow in power, lly order of the Committee : Wm. il I,vt.a*, Cliairmau A. li.

I desire, for the information of the pubic, to gt*e few facts in relation to the ropo<t 0 Governor Tillman made by Can* r *1; iTii, account-int who iovestigac<l the books and papers of the office^^m? 'outtjr Auditor and Treasurer of bounty. If jou will indu'ge me jual a litilo . think 1 maj b? able to show that Cnpt. Wiliams has committed au error io that part if us rcptrt which charges that there is a leficit in the Treasurer's ofhee oo nulla lona executions and non t?l polls, amounttig in the eggregate to $183.10 la his eport lie elates that for the jear 1880- 7 . 1 he County Auditor allowed the Treasurer on lulla bona cxecutious and non ttt po .-rrdit* amounting to $|84d>3, and that thi^B^, iJB ;reJitn were rigidly scrutinized bj Mid that $47.73 of I hem were disallowe 1 In in ; r.lio. that iho Auditor allowed the l'tensurer nulla bona and non est ere Jits for liie H-cat year 1887-8, amounting to $300.!)!. and that lie, after close examination of tnose crcli:s, rejected and di-n'hnvol !o the umount of $15.21," which is all true, mul *o far so good. Bui for the fiscal ycais lt>88--'J slid lM89--'.>0 he says I hat I ho Trcisurer was given credit by the Auditor for a'l 'he executions in the bunds of the Sheriff, and that ho aggregated the credits of those two years. '1 hose executions, I examined for ihcscptrnt* years, and f.<uud iu the aggregate of bjtli years a deficit of $120.22. That is, he says, disapp o?ed, on account of receipts founil by iheftlierin to tlint auiouut. Ju-I ut this poiut Capt. Williams jumps the track, ami runs into a grave mistake, which 1 endeavored to convince hint of at the time of the investigaiioo, and suggested to kim that such a mistake going up in his report to the Govcraor would be detrimental tome. Me refused to hear tno. The mistake by Capt. Williams, as 1 will endeavor to show, is ae follows: t In the first place, lie shotfd not have consolidated those two years, from the fact that ttie executions for the fiscal year 1888? Imd been turned over by the Sheriff and accounts I for lu the list annual settlement J of the Treasurer, while those for the liscil year 1889-1)0 are yet in the hands of the Sheriff, and a portion of which have not beeu collected, and which the Sheriff admits that he can and will collect yet. Hence lie should, after his examination of the nulla bona and non est executions of the fiscal year 188?U, subtracted his nulla bona and non c-t credits, ns allowed, from those a lowed by the Auditor, just ns he did in the t wo previous years, which should liavo been ns follows: Nulla bona nnd non est oredits allowed by Auditor lor fiscal year 188?D, was $324.80, and these allowed by Capt. Williams for the same year was $318,10 makiug a difference between the nul a bona and non est credi'R ailjwed by the Auditor and himself for this fiscal year, of llencc we sec that, according to Capt. liutns' owu estimate, when correctly apgrff^ g'tcd, wi l not make $183.10 deficit on nulla bona and non est executions, us repotted by him ; but there eau only be a 'deficit of$00.70, admitting that all the credits which he rejected and disallowed for each of the three years as bt-iug correct. The ob ject Capt. Williams liud in examining the nulla bona executions was to determine whether the Auditor had allowed me ere ins on nulla bona executions that 1 was not entitled to. Tims he went at it, and the rcau t was and should he, in his repjrt, as follow, which 1 defy any one to prove otherwise: Nulla bona and nou est c edits allowed by Auditor fiscal year 1880-7 $484.03. Allowed by Williams " " 430.90. Total n. b. and n. c. disallowed by Williams " ' ?47.73. Nu la boua and non est credits allowed by Auditor fiscal year 1887-3. ?300.1)4. Allowed by Williams 331.73. Total disallowed $15.21, Nulla bona and uou est credits ill owe i by Auditor fiscal year 1888-9. ?324.80. Allowed by Wiliiauis " " 313.IU. 1 Total disallowed " ? 0.70. Nulla boua and nou est disallowed by Williams fiscal year 1886 7 $17.73. 1887 8 13.21. ? " ' 18889 0.70. Total disallowed 1 y Willi nns. $09,70. As to the executions for the fiscal year 1889-90, as 1 have already stn'cd, were, at the time of the investigation, in the Inuds of the .Sheriff for collection, aud are yet in his hands; and us they have never been turned over to me by the .Sheriff, as a mutter of course, I have never received credit for a [ single dollar of those executions, as nulla bma or non ests. by tho Auditor or any one else. Thus it will he seen that there can be no deficit on nulla bona or non est executions ivr that fiscal year, as they ate to be accounted for and disposed of in the next animal settlement With ilic Auditor an 1 Comptroller General. And as to the nulla bona and tun est credits rejected and disallowed bv Cant. Wil liams, f?r I lie years of 18815-7?(8*7 8 and 1888-U i cia'm is Altogether unjust, which 1 could show, if space would permit.
