Til Lit AN AND T&LBERT WILL FIGHT 7 THE THIBD PARTY, AND WILL WORK FOR THE SUCCESS R OF CLEVELAND. OoT?rnor Ti liuen returned from Chicago ,V accompanied by Mr. Jer*ey, tho Cleveland hern, and one or two otlior de'egates. In ta king of the third party dinger in this State in connection with the nati nnl f, situation, florernor Tillman said that he for#s?w bctVre he lo'l here that there wis 0? almost a certainly of an elccto-al t ckct of the Third party being placed in the fiel I in j? this State. Continuing, he raid: "But whether we can keep it off or not I cannot p a teiupi to say. I cant say ytt whit is going v? nonr, urn irnr mm n? nn g'i"g i<> m have a Third pnrty nt'empt. I will fight it because 1 believe it means unlimited trouble r< and disaster to the people of the State."' He ca led attention to the editorial appearing! in the Cotton /'lant a few days ng < wh'ch waa Third ptriyism ail over and remarked that "Stokes is pledged to euppoit the ticket, as pi all the rest of us are." ll, When asked if I c thought the September . re m ention would endorse the noutination t-f Clevc'nnd, he sail: -1 > f course it wi 1?tha' is. that's the way it looks to me now. However it is entirely too early for mo to give ,y any opinion other than <ny own, which is; M thtl 1 will support ilie ticket. I can't ray j, anything c'se now, but lot mea'tend this "week's campaign meetings, and feel tlio public pulse, although the sccti m of tlie Siate t > which wo are going thi* work is not so much impregnate! with Third psrtyiam as the a other pottions, 1 can be'tvrbe ab.e to review T the situation." p In regard to his stand apnin.-t Cleveland, Governor Tillman said : "I fought O'evo- " land's nomination because I thought his G policy was wrong; because ho prejudiced several Southern Stat-s. ami because I believed that he could not c?iry*Now York. n llut now I givo up my opposi Ion as he is the ,.| nominee, and will fight fur his success " In regard to theTitii d party, he requests n that the stiitemciit ninde that he reiterated e all that lie lias ever sail concerning the p dangers involved in eucli a movement in this Sate. Governor Yillmnn s*d (bat bo ?li 1 m t helie*o I' ovelaud's nomiuatto't would hive any efleet upon South Carolina S ate iol>tics. s Whon asked whither, in Ids opinion at Cleveland woul I '?o electe I or not, ho raid n( there were too many coutiugoncics ahead for ^ him at this time to fee warranted in giving an opin'on. It would depend on the treat- a' rnent that would bo accorded the New York Democracy by Cleveland. wi When nskod how the delegation had been ni treated in Chicag >, Gove nor Til'inatt eaid : "We were treated wi'li a> much cousidcralion and courtesy a" we could h tvo expected, j^ AND T.C LtlKRT 11 STRONUKR HTIl.t.. .

Talking about C evoland. Col. Talbo t eiid : "The enthusiasm lor Cleveland was rim- 0> |)Sj wonderful. Every menti .n of the name catried the convention by storm. Why business had to be suspended for a lia'f hour at a time." Aa to hie position lie eaid : "I stand right where I did before the nomination, and W yon know where that i?. I take lliia occs- r( sion to 10derate my position as an Alliance (| man. which was that my tight as an Alliance man is nlways to be mado for State officers in the State primaries and for national offi- p cere in tlto Democratic National Convention, g I will there tight for iiion who stand on the (| Alliance platform, ntnl with tho assurance that whoever the nominee may be to support a him and abide by the result. s< THE DUTY or ALLIANCE MEN.

Tho plat- C( :'orin commits the nominees, as I understood it, to free silvor and financial reform and '' monetary relief demanded by the South and gi Nortnwest. Tlie repeal of the 10 per cont jf tax on State banks means a radical change in our national banking system. This is demanded by the Southern and Northwes- P tern Allivnco men, some advocating the 6' entire abolition of the national banking sys- -p| tem and a free system of banking, coupled with a repeal, as I have said, of the tax on State hinks. Oihors demand a sub-treasury c< or something better in its place. As I under- m stand it the sub-treasury plan is just simply a change in the monetary system of the L'oited States, which means that the Government should inorea?e the circulating medium to supp'y in sufficient quantities tl upon a sound basi?, tho legitimate do'tnands v of the country. This platform ctminits Mr. q Cleveland to the policy of financial relief in ? 01 eome shape. "The South Carolina delegation was c?m e< mitted to the Ocsl'a platform. They went ft to the National Convention us such. They were received and seated by the National Convention as such, without a dissenting ^ lone, meicijy i-nnmming uieinseives to tnai 1,1 extent to tLo principles demanded, end r? acknowledging t lia/ it was Jeffersonian democracy, a'though i' d Cered somewhat in n, the policy. Having got that much recognilion for South Carolina, we can afford and rj ought to work for the election of the nominee, and will do it and await the result. ' If we can ttucceel in electing Mr. Cleveland by giving him our most earnest and pi heaity support, but at the aatns time keep- j ing up our ATiance orgai.b&'ion while working, waiting and watching for financial 0 re ief, which is promised in this p atform, ? ive have reason to hope by four more years of houcst and earnest Alliance eduoition r among the people throughout the United States?in the North, Kist, South agel West 11 ?.to have incorporated in the next Demo- P cratic platform all of the great uod grand underlying principles of the Formers A!Ji- 0 nnee simplified so that the huniblost citizen . nay understand and see that this Govern- 01 liient is not a government for the few, but it s? .is a government intended for tito whole peo- ft p!e. r| ri'BTitr.r. u&asons < on at'CKi'Tixa.

I h re is n pernicious influence at Work among the peop'e of this Count}- to induce , a bolt from the regu'ar ut minces of the dtmocrat:c party. This iofluence comes mainly from pronounce 1 Third party advocates, who have never beon doraoornts at honrt, most of them having heretofore openly affiliated with the Republican or Greenback parties, while presuming to beloug ra| the democratio party, aad sbou'd Sot b?'n\-8 lowrd to vote for candidates at the damncralic primary elections But we regret to find the names of good ol,l time democrats among those who are now, as before, attempting to break up the domocrn'ic parly and turn the Stste over to the c >!o>cd r>ce and their subservient white f >'lo vers. We have a right to ask that the parly lino# he drawn. Two years ago we opposed the nomination of 11 U. Tillman, as we do now, wit inn tlie party noes, upon want we believe to be Irue democratic principle, but when the democratic convention nominated hitn we acquiesced in the nation of the majority, as represented by 'bat convention, and did nil we could to elect hitn. As then, eo we now stand in oppos'tiou to hd'ers from tho regular domocra ic parly nomination, and demand that the purly sanding of nil who nrc not in full ncord with (lie democratic party and its nominees shall be explicitly defined We c!aim to bs!ong to thy truo democratic, parly, and fight onr politicil battles for dent ora'ic men and mossures strictly within the patty lines, and when a majority of the true members of the parly decide against us, wc cease fighting, "close up" ntul stand sh ulder to shoulder with our fellow democrat i to fight all the enemies of the purly. Wc have never given any enoiuragement to bolters, and contend (hat when men openly denounce the action of a majority of the party and counsel opposition to it under another party organization, they put themselves outside the party lines, and it is a palpab'e as wall as dangerous abiiHo of p?r y interests and privileges to allow tbcin to partioipats in the oniooils of the party, or to elaim membership and have voice end veto in our party matters. They are not democrat* further than their person al interests and aims lie, and they ars as persistently beit on (ho destruction of the democratic parly as the moat rabid advocates of the repub ioau party can b?, therefore, they should be treated as suofa. This may be ra'led ' party tyranny" by party slraddlers and ehysters, but jn ilie eyes of al] faithful and truo democrat#, it is tlie essence of pnrly purity, parly unity and party saft ty. We accord to every rr.au the same right to hispoli ical opinions that we demand for oijrKelf. lteinc; a democrat we have no right to claim affiliation or to #oto with either the Republican or Third party, and ou the other hand ;hp advocates and members of Ihr.st psrliot shou'd not bjs allowed to put on democratic girnienls, to participate in democratic cotinci's and be received in full fellowship to all the secrets and privileges of the democratic parly. Let the lines be drnwo. The press dispa'ches state that one of the South Carolina dal*gatjon changed his vote to Cleveland, and two vole3 aro prjjditjed to Cleveland from Hps State. Since Mr. Jarvcy's stand for Cleveland has been made the subject of attack by the Tillman organ*, thistdaUgate's name shou'd be Amdokuown. Whoever he may be it is evident that he did not fear his delegation and that Tillmen could not lead him by a string.?The State.

Mr. Harris' vote was recorded in (lie convention proceedings for Cleveland, about |8 hours before Tillman and Talbcrt fell into the Cleveland fine. We learn that a little unpleasantness occur, red between Mr. Harris and two or three leaders of the South Carolina delegation, about Mr. Harris's ohanging his vote, the true inwardness of which is generally supposed to be in the fact that "Harris beat them to the Clevo'and lank."

L. M Irby, Chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee: Your etteution is horehy respectfully tireciedto an ed.torial article from the Cotton Plant, which claims to be the organ >f the Farmers' Alliance of this State, published in another column of this newspaper. The Cotton Plant has at the head of its editorial co'umns "J. Wm. Stokes, Editor." I. Wm. Stokes is the president of tho State Mliance. Ho was a delegate frem this State It the Democratic Convention at Chicago. He is a candidate before the damocra's of his district fur the nomination for congress. You are respect ful y asked to 'rule, in your official capacity as chairman of the demeevatio executive committee of tide State, on the queelion whether J. Win. Stokes can ho considered and voted for as a democrat unless he disavows responsibility for or endorsement of the editorial elsewhere quoted, printed under his name in a newspaper of which he is the known editor. That article, as you will discover by perusal, is a distinct and vioious denunciation of the inai chosen by the democratic national convention, of which you were a member, as its candtdste for preiidont. It is a direct appeal to the fanners of the State to vote against that man and for some other man. It is printed in the Cotton l'lant of date of Saurday, June 2oth. The nomina'ion of Qrover Cleveland as the caod.date of the democratic convention f-r president was annnniised in nil (In r) ailtr nawananaro nf ' "? J Mtna |?imn w. this 3taic Thursday morning, Juns 231. When yon have ruled, Chairman, Irby on the stnnding of Mr. Stokes as a democrat and candidate for n democratic nomination for congres*, you will further rule on this question : Is a mnn who intends to vote for a third party or a roputd can nominee for president a democrat iu the meaning of tho cons'itution of tlio State democratic party T Has he the right to vote at a primary o'ection of the democra'ic par y of tbie State for Sta'e and couuty offices? As we understand, the rules of the party say that men slrill vote at its primaries who are known democrats and who will swear to support the nominees of the democratic party. What is meant by a "democrat," and what "qotpiqpes" must he swear to support ? If it is meant that only such men :.s will swear to vote the full party ticket, Federal, Slate and county, are democrat* and ent tlod to vote at democratio primaries, plea?c stly so. If anything else is meant kindly inform the democrats of this Slate, of whom you are the official hesd. These are living and important questions. They confront us nt this moment and ought to be answered. Let us know who aro to bo considered as democrats, who are to vote at tho dsm -cta'io primaries for nominees of the democratic party. You are a party inan. You have time and again procaimel your a'legianco to the pat ty, your purpose to qbey the will of its n)ajoa)iy in tpy and all circumstances. A great many of us, under the s^me under: standing 01 panj iiq'y mai you pp.uess, votod two yea-? ago f?r B. B, Tillman for governor. Thosn who did not do so hat* boon publicly and fiequontly denounced by thoaa nstoc a'o 1 with you in politics as traitors to the people, no better than radical*. We now desire to know how those who may refuse to accept the decision of two-thirds of the representatives of the doniocratic party assembled at Chicago are to be considered and treated. Let the lines ht drawn plainly and promptly. When democrats go to the po!l< to vo'4 iu primaries ef their psrty they base the right to know who they1 are voting with. ? Grernvillt Knot. "P^RJT |>RXsr." ? Governor Ti>lman told the Cleveland umi'u'n m Chicago that if Cleveland was noiiiim ted lie did not bolieve that he could carry South Carolina on account of his financial views. The Governor never spoke a truer word. The very acme of tyranical party rule is cbtainod when the wshes of the democratic voters of States whose olect >rul vole has always been oast for democracy, are ignored and a candidate forced on them vtho opposes every principle held by tbem, nnd that action is adding insul^ )ij injfiry when we know that his nomination, if fore tdf by the specimen nn<} office seekers from States wh6' have nover given and never will give an electoral vote for the democratic nominee. There is yet a sp ill cf liberty left in the heart of the men Qf Car&Una that revolt against such unscrupulous bossisra. w No, the alliencemen of the South cannot support Cleveland, tcoause he is the embodiment of the plutocratic ideas that refuse to recogn:ze qur geeis eyen, and *re still farther from g'ving us any remedy. The nomination off Uvet&nd wilt mean, if he it elected, that monopoly will bo fostered, plutocracy protected, and a very few wblte men in the Sou h will get to feed at the public o ib. No re ief for the toiling masses; no promise of better times in ths future; you farmers and working men of all chases must submit, voir merchants must sav nnthimr foil 'And sweat andsiuk into the aegieuiuiou of serfdom, *bul you must' vote' the 'pfcrty ticket for fear of ^he force bill aod the evils ftf jjorpinfffion. And when you vote f?r Cleveland you VQte foj: a j#an who never raised his finger against the force hill, aad who openly encouraged miscagn ition. And you w>ll settle in your minds before you vote which il the greater evil. The shadowy possibility of negro domination or the coniinued rule of Hng'ishand Wall street raon?y that is certain and unavoidable. Cleveland means that tlio na'ional democracy slaps you in ihe face aod intends to whip you into line, The remit will show how much, 'ho spirit of freedom obiains among o^r people ?,r.d how far ti ey will submit to tl)o bQssism' of ijnsdrxjpulous politicians. ?

The delegates, however, held to- ^ gather and voted from first to last as they had planned.
