(i Monday, the*13thof Septem-
p, and to-morrow night a citizens’
Mating will be held at the Town
Hall, for the purpose of nominating
^suitable candidates to be voted for at
feaid •lection. It is to be hoped that
Ml tax-payers, and citizens generally,
Interested in the good name pf our
beautiful town, aud the rigid enforce-
leut of existing ordinances, will turh
oiH and express by tlieir votes the in
terest they have at stake. Aiken at
tracts annually thousands of visitors,
fend it is of great importance that
nothing shall be left undone that will
promote her prosperity and progress.
Attend therefore, tho citizens’ meet
ing, and vote for proper candidates to
berve as Inteudant and Wardens for
the ensuing year.
An Indefensible Proceeding',
On Wednesday last the State Dem
ocratic Executive Committee met
Jta Columbia and after nineteen
ballots nominated Capt. M. L. Bon-
ham, Jr. Editor of tho AbDeville Mes-
feenger, for the position of Adjutant
and -Inspector Ueneial made yacant
^^the d^atb of General Mauigault.
t. Bonham is about thirty years of
aud is a gentleman of (Inc ability
and most courteous deportment, and
will dqubt}ea{> fill the position with
Credit to himself and honor to the
Btat4; nevertheless, we think the
Committee has perpetrated » high
J landed outrage in coply ignoring tire
lahus of Capt. H. I* Farley, of Spar
tanburg, who came before the Com-
jniltoe as the second choice of a full
Convention, lacking only six votes of
that received oy General Mauigault
tbp successful candidate. Wo are
a loss to understand what higher en
dorsement any man could have
brought before that Committee, short
t>f an absolute nomination by the Con
vention. We consider that the Com
mittee has abpued the powers vested
in them by tlie Democratic party
and that they have wantonly
Ignored tho candidate, who came
before them with the be^t credentials.
■^Ve have no objection to Capt, Bon
ham, but we do object to the high
handed undemocratic proceeding
Which has inlliorvd u great wrong up-
bD a worthy gentleman without a
(tingle mitigating circumstance. Are
■w» not drifting from our moorings
rhen a Committed fAe creoiu^c of the
Convention, can treat with such con-
’’teroptuous Indiflerfence the will of
its Creator only twenty days after ad
journment? It is just such ill consid
ered, unjust and indefensible proceed
ings that produce discordant bicker
ings in the best regulated political
hutillies. ’ ‘ > ’ 1 •

Koli u Tliiel/’
Capt. B. R.Tillman Newberry
speeah advised tho faa.'ter lu
following manner inrefe ea
ing representati Vt s to the I ; j gi
uesai'l; “If you huvean law'?*^
Jionesiiy desirous of advancing your
interest, ou tbo nrincipla ofWiiet r.
thief to catch a thief,” I would advice
you to eonu him. Eut tiiey are^o
slippery that if you don’t Lind him up
f am afraid he would betray you after
he gets there.” This advice is certain
ly more unique than courteous,
more offensive than logical. The
lawyer must be able and honest ac
cording to Captain Tillman’s formula,
nevertheless he is to be employed ou
the bald principle that he is a thief
sent to catch a thief. Is it not time
for the farmers to resent su c “ unseem
ly and unjust vulgarity heaped upon
a worthy and respected class of their
fellow citizens, who have been guilty
of no offense and who are ever ready
to discharge their public duties with
alacrity and patrotism? Is it not a
shame and a disgrace that in this civ
ilized age and in this proud old State,
large audiences can be found to listen
to and applaud the silly ego: ism and
offensive tirades of a man whose sole
stock in trade seems to be that he is a
farmer, and if report be true an un
successful one at that? We have often

them to deal with every second man

is a thief. This is a false theory, de
structive of the very essence of Ctiris-
tianity and the best interests of socie
ty. The more humane, practical and
successful rule of life, is to treat your
fellowman whether, he be a lawyer
an editor, or a farmer, ns if ho was an
honest man, until you find him defi
cient iu moral principle. Don’t label
Irmas a thief beforehand, and charge
your friends that he is so slippery that
if not bound that he will betray
them! This is not reasonable, just
or decent Life is not worth living
if we are compelled to regard our
neighbors with perpetual suspicion.
Rather let us deal kindly with one an
other,always remembering the Divine
command “Love thy neighbor as thy
self.”

Democratic party has been uniformly

i the national election, in which South
! Carolina cast her elective vote for
I Grover Cleveland, the present Presi-

It was decided to open the campaign
! about the first of October. A larife
j mass meeting will be held in each
Congressional district at which the
eaiidida:es will speak, but the usual
canvass of every county in the State
will be dispensed with, ext-ept when
a county asks for a special meeting,
and iu that case the executive com
mittee will provide for such a meet
ing. The times aud places for holding
the mass meetings in the Congres

at the next meeting of the executive
committee.
The meeting adjourned at 11 o’clock
