The Stewart Free Silver Bill, which passed the Senate, was deteated in the House on Wednesday. We be lieve that it is well for the country that the bill has met with defeat, as it is easy to see where much harm could come from free coinage of sil ver unless it is done in accordance with an inter-national agreement as to its value as compared with gold. There are many who are imbued with the idea that free silver coinage means more money and cheap money and higher prices for everything they have to sell in the way of cotton and grain and other farm products; but it is difficult to ifnderstand how this will come about save through the ap preciation of gold and its being prac tically run out of the country. However, the Democratic House has defeated the bill for the present at least, and those galvanized Demo crats who have been seeking offices through the machinery of the Demo cratic party can now show their hands. Doubtless there will be an impetus towaids the Third Party of some who “stand squarely on the Ocala platfdrm”; but those whose standard of Democracy is the plat form of the National Democratic Convention in Chicago, will go ahead and elect the representatives of true Democracy. Progress of the Campaign. The campaign meetings will be re sumed next Tuesday, when one will be held at Manning. The accounts from from all parts of the State are very encourageiug for the success oi the whole Conservative ticket. The News and Courier says: If the Con servatives continue with their very good luck they will go into Pied mont section in the happiest and most confident mood imaginable. They are already confident of success. The tone of the Administration sceeches delivered during the past week indicated that the leaders are not near so buoyant as they were a month ago. They are trying to in spire hope into their weak-kneed fol lowers, and are persistently claim ing everything in and out of sight. Quite at Homestead. The action of Gov. Pattisou, of Pennsylvania, in calling out a strong body of militia has restored quiet, at last, to the scene of the late bloody riots near the Carnegie Company’s works. On the 11th Gen. Snowden with about 2,000 mililiamen, accom panied by the County Sheriff, w r ent to Homestead and took charge of the town. The troops were welcomed by the men who were lately rioters, who recognized the lawfulness of their in terference. Everything there now is quiet, but all work is at a stand, while negotiations for a settlement are in progress. . Major J. Jonathan Lucas, of Socie ty Hill, has come out as a candidate for Congress to fill the seat of the late Congressman Stackhouse. Every county in that district now has out a candidate. Marlboro’s representative is Senator W. D. Evans, Florence has put forward Mr. Bigham; Horry, Senator Jeremiah Smith ; Darlington, Major Lucas himself, while Chief Clerk Horton is a candidate from Marion. Of these gentlemen three are Tillmanites and two are Conserva tives, Messrs. Evans, Bigham and Norton representing the former party, and Messrs. Lucas and Smith the latter. It was proved that in an alliance caucus at the time of the meeting of the County Convention of Newberry County, on 2d of May last Rev. J. A. Sligh. Col. J.L. Keitt, and Dr. Samp son Pope declared themselves in fa vor of the Third Party. While Col. Keitt wished to come out boldly for the Third Party, Messrs, Sligh and Pope claimed that the time had not yet come for them to make the avow al. Now Messrs. Sligh and Pope are both using the Democratic livery to serve independentism in. The for mer is a candidate for the State Sen ate, and the latter for Congress. Will Democrats vote for such men ? It is stated that about the last offK cial act of Mr. Blaine as Secretary of State was to transmit through Minis-- ter Lincoln to Lord Salisbury an earn est appeal for the pardon of Mrs. Florence Maybrick, sentenced by the British Court to penal servitude for life, for the murder of her husband. This appeal was signed by every member of the Cabinet, the Justices of the Supreme Court, the Generals and other high officers of the govern ment, and is now under considera tion by the home office in London. We publish on another page the suggestions from Mr. J. Perry Mur phy in reference to a true primary, which are worthy of the careful con sideration of our readers. The scheme Isa good om, and will prevent can didates for offices from swinging on to the coat-tails of the heads of the two tickets. The object is to let ev ery man stand on bis own merits. Col. John P. Thomas, of Columbia, has been appointed by Gov. Tillmau a member of the board of visitors of the Citadel Academy in the p:ace of the late Col. Edward Croft. This is ftp excellent appointment. Another of Tillman's False Charges, At the meeting at Holley’s Ferry on Tuesday, Gov. Tillman made the following assertion; “I represent genuine Democracy, and Sheppard is the exponent of Re publican principles. He is going to support the Democratic tickqf because a man can’t live in Edgefield unless he does. He is actually at heart a Republican.” Gov. Sheppard made a dignified re ply, saying: “I would not be here today in the position I am if there was one parti cle of justification for Gov. Tillman’s statements. If there was one drop of Republican blood in my heart or scintilla of Republican blood in my veins, I w'ould not come before the people of Edgefield as a candidate tor their suffrages. I was born a Demo crat, and as long as my heart beats or my brain continues to know the dif ference between right and wrong, I will be a Democrat and will die a Democrat. Gov. Tillmau has said a great many things; he has said a great many hard things; but he never committed a greater outrage than when he came before the people of Edgefield and talked of my being a Republican in disguise. What right would a white man have io come be fore the people of Edgefield as a can didate for office if he was in the slightest way imbued with Republi can principles? It was unkind, un just, unfounded, and I will never for get as long as my head is hot.” Some one asked, “How about Has kellism?” and he replied that he had no sympathy with it, and had fought against Haskell’s movement. He stated that there were more Republi cans in the convention that nomina ted Tillman than there were Haskell- ites in the convention that put him forward. In conversation at Batesburg that evening Governor Tillman said that his remarks about iSheppard applied to the Conservatives, and that he meant every word of it. At the meeting in Aiken Governor Tillman stated that he stood bn the Ocala platform. He said not a word about the Democratic platform, and yet he has the audacity to charge Re publicanism against the Conserva tives of the State. It is satisfactory to know, however, that such a glaring falsehood will surely rebound upon his own head. The Man Above the Polititian. No better evidence of how the poli- tition is subordinated to the honest man and citizen in Mr. Cleveland can be found than the following cor respondence, which explains itself: New York. June 2(3, 1892. Mrs. Grover Cleveland. Dear Madame: It gives us great pleasure as representatives of that great tody of women of Democratic sympathies to inform you that a Fran ces Cleveland Influence Club has been formed by the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of New York Demo crats. We have taken the liberty of using your name for the first of the many influence clubs which we trust will spring up throughout the coun try and which after Novembers will confirm the judgment of that Re publican leader regarding 1890, that “the women did it.” We feel that, this campaign is to lift the burden of taxation from the homes of the land, and we, as home defen ders, desire a part in the struggle. Yours respectfully, Mary Frost Ormsry. President Frances Cleveland Influ ence Club No. 1. Buzzard’s Bsy, Mass., July G, 1892. Mrs. Mary Frost Ormsby. My Dear Madame: Mrs. Cleve land has referred to me your letter in forming her of the organization of the “Frances Cleveland Influence Club.” It is by no means pleasant to dis sent from methods which sincere friends ade pt when their efTorts not only demonstrate their friendliness, but when they also seek to subserve the public good and are, therefore, engaged in patriotic service. It is, however, impossible for us to approve of the use of Mrs Cleveland’s name in the designation of clubs designed to do political work. We trust you will not undervalue our objection, because it rests upon the sentiment that the name now sacred in the home circle as a wife and mother may well be spared in the organization and operation of clubs certain to excite political influ ence. Yours very truly. Grover Cleveland. Slandering the Kailroads. Goy. Tillman slated in his speech at Aiken on the 6th inst., said that the S. C. Railroad Company had threatened to discharge those of it’s employees who voted for him. The agent here branded the statement as false. Re ceiver Chamberlain writes to the News and Courier the following let ter: New York, July 11, 1892. To the Editor of The News and Courier: I have just seen the report of Gov ernor Tillman’s speech at Edgefield in the Columbia Register of the 8th inst. where he says. “Orders have been given the em ployees of the South Carolina Railway that if they vote for me they will be discharged.” I make myself responsible for the orders to employees of the South Car olina Railway and I state now that I do not have the least reason to be lieve anyone, high or low, has given such orders to its employees or in deed any orders whatever of a p;.liti- cal nature. 1 make Governor Till man and all men of whatever party this ofler: That if he or they will show me any evidence of such orders or any orders or threats being given or hinted at by any official of the South Carolina Railway, I will dis charge such official instantly and fi nally. I am not in South Carolina poli tics, and no man w ill be permitted to use any position he holds under me to coerce or influence voters against or in favor of any candidate or polit ical party or faction. Respectfully, D. H. Chamberlain. Receiver South Carolina, Railway. Now Gov. Tillman has to give his authority for his statement, or stand convicted of deliberately slandering the corporation. As Was to be Expected. The Columbia Register publishes the following letter from Col. Irby, repudiating the agreement made by Governors Tillmau and Sheppard: Editor Register: Please say for me through the columns of your paper tnat 1 hope the County Executive Committees that have not acted upon the managers to the primary election will repudiate the agreement between Tillmau and Sheppard. There are others interested in the result of this primary election besides these geutle- tlemen, as for install tee, candidates for Congress, Solicitors, etc., ta h of whom have the same right to demand the same managers as Governors Till man and Sheppard. The Democracy of South Carolina have a right to ex pect that the elections will be con ducted fairly and honorably, and, so far as I am concerned, they shall be, but to agree to any such proposition from a faction of the Democratic par ty would be an acknowledgement on our part of incompetency. All fac tious should be satisfied by the ap ■ appointment of honorable and loyal Democrats as managers of the elec tion. If the agreement between Till mau and Sheppard is carried out it can .but result in confusion, contest and deadlocks. Jno. L. M. Irby. Chairman State Executive Com. Washington. July 13. Baby Kutli’s Picture*. Mr. and Mrs. Grover Cleveland will not consent to have their child’s picture printed in t.ie newspapers, as well appear by the following letter to the Atlanta Journal, in response to a request for a photograph. “Relying in behalf of Mrs. Cleve land to your letter of the 13th instant, I have to say that there has never been a photogi aph taken of our child and it is impossible for that reason to comply with your request. It is only frank to add that if they w’ere any of her pictures in existence we should not be willing to have one published in any newspaper. We are doing all we can to check the notoriety which would be increased by such publica tion. We would be glad Io please you and the paper with which you are connected, but we cannot bring ourselves to the point of giving our baby’s picture to be printed in a news paper. Yours truly, Grover Cleveland. Gov. Tillman’s followers who do not approve of the increase of the poll tax to $3, say that he will not have the power to make the increase. Does it not occur to them that to re elect him, after he has plainly and frequently declared for the $3 tax is to indorse and invite that tax—to tell the next Legislature that the people want it? If issues are of an}’ impor tance it is utterly illogical to support a man for office who advocates what the voter himself disapproves of. The Columbia Register of the 10th instant characterized the agreement in reference to the rranagers of elec tion, signed by Governors Tillman and Sheppard in Aiken, as “a fair compact.” What has it got to say now, when this compact is being re pudiated entirely in some Counties and only partially carried out in oth ers by Tillmanite executive commit tees. It is almost sure now, as a result of the Liberal victory in the English elections, that Mr. Gladstone will succeed Lord Salisbury as Prime Minister. But, nevertheless, it is very doubtful whether he can coerce the House of Lords, or even the Lib erals in the House of Commons, into Supporting his Irish Home Rule fad. The Public Printing Matter. The State last year accepted the bid of James H. Woodrow for certain public printing. The law requires that the public printer file a bond. Mr. Woodrow has died and made no bond. Now Governor Tillman decides that the work shall be advertised again and that bids be received as be fore. Col. F. W. McMaster, the father-in- law of Mr. Woodrow, says that Dr. Woodrow has applied for appoint ment as administrator of the estate, and the appointment would be made on the 27th. Col. McMaster says the printing of the Code goes with this contract. When asked if the effort to take it from the estate would be resisted, lie said: “Of course we will fight it to the end.” He thinks it a most extraordinary proceeding, “without any foundation in justice or equity.” He says the bond is only an incident to the contract, and not as the Attorney General would make it appear. The object of the Legisla ture was to get the printing done, and the bond is only to guard against ac cidents. There would be no necessity for its being filed before fall. He says the Attorney General’s opinion is all “moonshine.” The Crops in the State. The Stale department has issued the following report of the crops in the State, to the 12th inst: Cotton—The promising condition of the crop has been injured by exces sive rains, low temperature and lack of sunshine. For the last ten days the plant has taken on little or no fruit, and in many sections it has changed color and is shedding iis forms. Complaints come that farm work has been suspended for the last several days and that the crop is get ting very grassy. The unfavorable condition of the crop is not confined to any locality but is generally so throughout the State. Corn—The crop has been but little injured on uplands, but it has been materially damaged on creek bottoms by the floods. The rivers are now rising, and great and increasing dan ger is apprehended from floods. Rice—The crop has been to some extent injured by the frequent and excessive rains and lack of sunshine. Dave Shaw Hidden. The Third Party has been organized in Richmond County, Ga. A meet ing was held in Augusta on Wednes day evening, the Omaha platform en dorsed, and Messrs. W. J. Seago and 8. C. Read nominated as caudidates for the Legislature. Upon learning that Daye Shaw was in Greenville, Gov. Tillman instruct ed the Sheriff of Laurens County to go there and arrest him and carry him to the Laurens jail. But it seems that Dave has been again hidden, and is now in a secure place, where he will not be molested until the time ( comes for him to tell iu Court what he knows of the men who subjected , him to the ordeal be alleges ke went . through. His attorney ajai^keuds 1 refuse to tell where he is THE AIKEN INSTITUTE. Re-election of the Board of Trustees aud Arrangements for Another Year. The annual meeting of the stockhold ers ot the Aiken Institute was held in the Institute building on Thursday last. Mr. D. S. Henderson, as president of the board, made his annual report, which report shows the school to be in a very healthy condition financially. The number of scholars enrolled during the year was 205, and the average attend ance was 150. The school was almost self-sustaining—in fact if all the tuition bills had been collected it would have paid all its running expenses. The total expenses of the school including teach ers’ salaries, janitor, fuel, advertising, etc., was $3,064.80, of this amount about $753 was received from the public school fund, and the remainder was received from tuition fees. The treasurer in his report shows all debts paid up aud a balance of $506 in the treasury. On motion the old board of truetees was re-elected to serve the ensuing year, as follows: D. S Henderson. G. W. Croft, Dr. E. J.C. Wood, C. K. Hen derson, H. H. Wyman and Henry Busch. There being no further business the meeting adjourned. directors’ meeting. Immediately upon the adjournment of the stockholders, the directors held a meeting. Mr. D. S. Henderson was elected president. Dr. Wood secretary, and Mr. Busch treasurer of the Board. The Board after thoroughly discuss ing the subject decided to add a higher grade to the school to be known as the Tenth grade. With this addition young men and ladies can receive a first- class business education right here at home, and should they desire to go to college, will be prepared to enter the Sophomore class. VVe understand that book-keeping wiP be added also. Prof. J. F. McKinnon was re-elected principal. Miss Ora Rives was elected to succeed Miss Ethel Brown,who declined re-elec tion. Miss Rives comes highly recom mended as an accomplished and success ful teacher. She will have charge of the Third and Fourth grades. Mrs L. E. Norris was elected a teach er and will have charge of the Fifth and Sixth grades. These are the grades Prof. Mack Mack had the last term. Prof. Mack and Prof. McKinnon will have eiiarge of the high school depart ment, known as Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Ten grades. Miss Maria Edgerton will assist in these grades when not en gaged in teaching music. Miss Maria Edgeiton was elected music teacher, and Miss Lizzie Ravenel will have charge of the First and Sec ond grades. The school will open on the 2nd Mon day in September. We understand there were about fif teen applications for teachers' positions. Meeting of the County Executive Com mittee^ The County Executive Committee met in Aiken Monday and proceeded to business by electing Mr F. P. Wood ward chairman pro tem. The meeting was held with closed doors for the first time since the primary plan lias been in vogue in this County, and the news paper reporters and a few spectators who were present had to leave. We are indebted to Mr Geo. W. E. Thorpe, the accommodating secretary of the Committee, for the following in formation : A letter was read , from State Chair man Irby toMrTtirfrpe, relative to the Trial Justice election, in which he sus tains the action takej) by the County Executive Committed in leaving the ap pointment of Trial Justices as hereto fore. Tiie rules and regulations governing the primary election, as prepared by the secretary, were read over twice and adopted and ordered to be printed, to gether with the constitution and the necessary blanks for the primary elec tion. Mr Foss read a communication from the chairman of the Conservative Exe cutive Committee calling attention to the agreement entered into between Mr Tillmau and Mr Sheppard recommend ing that two managers from each faction be appointed to conduct the primary election, etc., and requested that this agreement be carried out by the Execu tive Committee of this County; also suggested the names of men the Con servatives would like to have appointed. Mr Cobb’s motion to this effect was re jected. The following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That the committee proceed to the election oi three managers of pri mary election, and that the clerk lected be selected by the hoard of each election precinct. Adopted. The committee then proceeded to the election of three managers of election, giving the Tillmanites two representa tives and the Conservatives one at each election precinct.

The carriage was overturned and the Senator and his companion thrown out and con siderably bruised.

The St. Louis Republic says: It does seem that Benjamin Harrison has less sense of common decency than any other American politician who ever rose to great eminence. His appointment as Postmaster at Charleston., S.

Try BLACK-DRAUGHT Ua for Dyapepua. Gov. Tillman has repeatedly de manded that the legislature give him the power to remove sheriffs who al low lynchings of prisoners to take place. He has also repeatedly stated that he, as governor, would head a party to lynch negroes for certain crimes. How can there be consisten cy between his latter statement, and former demand ?

A Baptist clergyman, who was pres ent at Florence, felt called upon to re buke the Governor publicly for his profanity. No other Governor of the State was ever treated so. No other Governor of the State ever furnished the occasion for such a rebuke. A timely article, which will appeal to lovers of the rod and line, is Char les Frederick Danforth’s “Black Bass Fishing in New England” in the New England Magazine for July. The fishing season opens on the 1st ot July. _ Mrs. L. R. Patton, Rockford, 111., writes: “From personal experience I can recommend Dewitt’s Sarsaparilla, acme for impure blood aud general debility.” W. J. Platt. •j#'WINE OF CARDUI. a Tonic for Women.
