In our humble opinion, at no time in the history of South Carolina has such a Jgtave crisis presented itself as now con? fronts the people of this State. Two ; tickets, for the first time since 1876, are ? presented to the white people for State. officers?one nominated by delegates con? stitutionally elected according to the rules and regulations of the Democratic party, and headed by Capt. Tiliman, and the other put forward by a conference? "self elected and representing, as we con? scientiously believe, a small minority of white people, and headed by Judge Has kell. . We believe it is thesolemn duty of every Democrat in the State to vote for ticket regularly nominated, with Capt. Tiliman at its head. We also be? lieve/ that the ticket headed by Judge Haskell to be an Independent ticket, and - as such should be defeated, as its success would endanger all we hold dear. Such being the case, every Democrat-in the County' should look up his registration ^certificate, and be prepared to vote against it." '_ - BE TRUE TO THE DEMOCRACY. .:<Last week we said, "We prefer Till man with a solid Democracy to Haskell ^with~a-divided party." This we repeat this week, and with even more emphasis. ' WJe have repeatedly said that we do not favor Tiliman on Tillmau's account, but .we favor the Democracy. We are Dem? ocrats, and one of the rules of Democracy is that the majority shall rule, and since Tiliman has been chosen by a majority ftOf the Democracy of South Carolina, and ; will unquestionably receive a majority? ?and . a big majority, too?of the Demo? cratic votes of this State, we support him and look.upon the Haskell ticket as an Independent move. Our idea of a politi? cal? Independent -is one who refuses to submit'to the rules of the party to which he belongs, and votes or runs as a candi? date not subject to those roles. This, we -believe, that ticket has done, or those putting it in the field. Consequently, we ..look upon them as Independents, and hope to see them completely snowed under by . the white snow of Democracy, notwithstanding any foolish remarks or speeches or' "declarations- that may be made by Tiliman or his followers. Tili? man cannot drive us away from Democ? racy, even by a speech advising blood? shed or by threatening it, for we are not supporting Tiliman on Tillmau's account, but for the sake of Democracy. Bacon, who is on the Haskell ticket, is tai7ited lacon, and will not season our beans and turnips well this fall, for be sought a place on the ticket put out by the Sep? tember Gnoventiec, but failing, bolted the ticket and nor runs on this Indepen? dent ticket. We like bacon, but it must be Bound and free from taint or we will discard it. . Now, we call on our readers, and every Democrat in South Carolina, to look away from the men who compose the Democratic ticket to the Democratic party represented by that ticket; and in : the interest of that party talk for it, : work for it, and vote for it. This we ^purpose doing with all our heart. r ? ~ THE DEED IS DONE. An Independent Ticket by tno Haskell Conference. Special to the Greenville News. ' Columbia, S. C, Oct. 9.?The conven? tion called to nominate a State Ticket in opposition to Tiliman was in session to? night one hour and twenty minutes. A full State ticket was nominated, an address to the people issued, and com J mittee - appointed to conduct the State canvass. ?j Nineteen Counties were represented by l(54delegates. They were called to order pj Chancellor Johnson and Gen. W. W. Harllee was made chairman. J. D. Blandiog, of Sumter, introduced resolutions to go into nominations. J. E. MacDouald, of Fairfield, spoke against it, but it passed, and the follow? ing ticket was unanimously nominated : For Governor, A. C. Haskell, Eich land. Lieutenant Governor, W. D. Johnson, Marion. Secretary of State, Edwin Harper, of "Williamsburg. Attorney General, Joseph W. Barn well, Charleston. Comptroller General, Edmund Bacon, Spartauburg. State Treasurer, W. A. Anorura, Ker shaw. Adjutant and Inspector General, B. N. Bichbourg, of Bicbland. Superintendent of Education, E. B. Ragsdale. ; The following address, offered by Chan? cellor Johnson, was adopted: " To the People of South Carolina : - "We as citizens true to the principles we believe to be right and as Democrats loyal to the pledges of our parly, faithful to the national democratic party and adhering to the doctrines upon which our government was established in 1876, state briefly the reasons which have led us to present to you a ticket for State officers in opposition to the Tiliman ticket. The first principle of the democracy is a government of the people by the people and for the people. The Tiliman ticket will array class against class. The nom? ination of that ticket was not by the people, but proceeded for the most part, from secret caucus, the people being de? prived of. the right to choose their dele? gations by primary election. Noise, turbulence and threats of violence char? acterized the public meetings and con? verted them into riotous assemblies where public issues could not be decently and gravely discussed, by which many of our best citizens were practically excluded and where, contrary to all precedent of our history, the women of this State, who have been the guides of truth and the emblems of purity and accustomed to exercise their influence at ah times of moment, hesitated to appear; that in ??????? addition to these bad methods, the ntter ances of Mr. Tillman had been wrong to the State and all onr people. His speeches have been a tissue of false char? ges which every man who respects truth or religion should condemn, not in words alone, but by the power entrusted to his care?his vote at the ballot box. "The right to vote is not only a power, but a trust, and when the vote is cast it is the assertion on the part of the voter that he believes the man fur whom he votes competent and fit to fill the office. It is vain to say that the action of a polit? ical party exempts the voter from res? ponsibility. His vote affects not only his own rights, but the rights, the safety and the happiness of thousands who are dependent on these votes for the charac? ter of the government under which they live. The ignorant and the reckless may cast their voters flippantly, but he who claims intelligence enough to know the rights and duties of a citizen is responsi? ble to his country and his God. He who votes for one whom he knows to be unfit and unworthy makes himself accessory to all the wrongs committed by the officer voted for. "We further solemnly allege that B. R. Tillman and his associates, by divid? ing the people, by inflaming the lowest passions, by severing family ties, putting father, son and brother against each other, have done more harm and brought greater sorrow on the State than the sword or fire or hand of man in any other shape haye ever before affected. They should not be honored and reward? ed for this terrible wrong, nor should power be put in their hand3 to perpetu? ate the wrong. It is a terrible mistake to think that such wrong doers ever stop of their own will. We do not declare hostility against our fellow citizens whatever may be their votes, but we do unhesitatingly pledge ourselves as men and citizens, true to principle and right, to unceasingly war against such unworthy men and methods as have thus ruthlessly torn the heart of the State in twain to feed upon it for their personal gain. We will constantly oppose secret organiza? tions if used for a political purpose, and all that leads to class divisions and ring rule, aud, on the other hand, will con tend to the end for a government which j will administer true and equal justice to all people, guaranteeing safety and secur? ity of their, rights alike to all who live under its protecting care." From the Columbia' Register, October 11. The State Executive Committee's Address to the State Democracy. As was intimated in yesterday's Regis' ter, the State Executive Committee met again yesterday, and, after lengthy consultation, issued the following ad? dress : . To the Democratic Voters of South Carolina: A grave crisis in the history of our State confronts as; the life of our Sarty is threatened; white supremacy in outh Carolina is endangered. What was predicted, bot hardly expected, has hap? pened; an Independent movement has been inaugurated, an Independent ticket has been nominated, and for its success in 'the impending election a coalition has bean effected between the Republican party and the deserters from the ranks of the Democracy. ? A email gathering of citizens calling themselves Straightouts, representing at best only a defeated minority of a defeat? ed minority of the Democrats of the State, has held a conference in Columbia, in defiance of the regularly constituted au? thorities of our party, have set at naught the action of the regular Democratic /Conventions held in August and Septem? ber, have proclaimed war against our Democratic leaders and nominees, and to lead them in their internecine strife tbey have nominated a full State ticket-with Judge Haskell at its head as their nomi? nee tor Governor. By this action on their part, in opposi? tion to the action of an overwhelming majority of the Democrats of South Car? olina, they have read themselves out of the ranks of the Democracy by calling upon the negro vote to aid them in their fratricidal war against their white breth? ren ; they have declared themselves ready to join hands with the black man in pull ing down and destroying the white man's government, and ready and willing to see South Carolina again under the heel of the alien tyrant and the ignorant negro. They are a few.of them men of high .social standing and of great political in? fluence and experience; some of them men whom the State has delighted to hon? or and who have filled high positions as a reward for their distinguished services as patriots and Democrats. It is, there? fore, with feelings of regret and disap? pointment that we see them voluntarily departing from our Democratic ranks and subjecting themselves to the censure so well expressed by Governor Hampton when be said "that an Independent was worse than a Radical." But our duty is clear. The Democratic party of South Carolina must defeat the Independent movement, (no loyal Dem? ocrat can conscientiously vote for the In? dependent ticket,) and we call upon the 'men of the State, as patriots and as Dem? ocrats, to be true to your country, true to your party and true to your race. By all that you hold dear?by your lives and liberties, by your homes and families, by your white civilization and pride of race, we appeal to you to "quit yourselves like men," like Democrats, like Carolinians. If you would prevent the restoration of the ruinous rule under which our State lay helpless and prostrate from 1868 to 1876?if you would spare your wives and children the re enactment of the scenes of those dark and terrible days?if you would enjoy prosperous days and peaceful nights you will not cast your ballots for the In? dependent ticket; and though you may admire and esteem Judge Haskell and his co-nominees, you will, as faithful Dem? ocrats and patriotic Democrats, vote the ticket which was nominated by the Dem? ocratic Convention on the 10th day of September. . Be not deceived by the "Addre3s to the People of South Carolina" which was adopted by the Independent Conference. Among other specious argumentation, it is sought therein to induce good Dem ocrats to be disloyal to the party by tell? ing them "that it is vain to say that the action of a political party exempts the voter from responsibility." This is a trap for the unwary, a prop for the unsteady. Such doctrine is utterly un-Democratic No party could exist if each member was to be a law unto himself. Party fealty compels each true Democrat to support the regular party nomination. It is un Democratic in any man or any minority of men to rebel against the action of the majority of their party, Democrats of South Carolina, the 4th of November is near at hand. On your action that day the fate of your country depends. By your ballots it will be deci? ded whether Democracy or Republicanism is to control the government of this State; whether South Carolina is to be ruled by the white man or by the negro. By order of the State Executive Corc mitter. John L. M. Irby, Chairman. Chairman Irby, on behalf of the com? mittee, waited on Governor Richardson during the morning and presented the following resolutions, which the Governor promised to take under consideration : Whereas the Democratic party of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, on the 10th day of September, 1890, made its nomination of State officers; and where? as an Independent movement has been inaugurated for the purpose of defeating the nominees of said Democratic party ; and whereas at a Conference of the sup? porters of said Independent movement held in Columbia on the 9th day of Oc? tober, 1890, nominations for State officers were made in opposition to the nominees of the Democratic party; and whereas, it appears that certain parties, heretofore appointed by his Excellency Governor Richardson, as commissioners of election, have taken part in 6aid Conference and are supporters of said Independent move? ment; and whereas it is of vital impor? tance to the Democratic party and essen? tial to the preservation of white suprema? cy in this State that the commissioners of election should be Democratic, therefore, be it Resolved, By the campaign committee of the Democratic party, in view of this unforeseen emergency and grave crisis, that,'relying upon Governor Richardson b fidelity to the Democratic party and his well known and consistent advocacy, of white supremacy in South Carolina, bis excellency be respectfully and earnestly requested to remove Buch commissioners of election as shall be shown to him to be in sympathy with said Independent movement, and to appoint Democrats in their stead. The Committee also passed a resolution calling upon the County Chairman of ev? ery County in the State to issue a call for the holding of mass campaign meetings in each County in the State. Every meeting is to be held at the same time, on the same day, the 27th of October. The only exceptions are the Richland and Charleston meetings. The former will be held in this city on the 2Sth and the Char? leston meeting will take place on the 29th. The Democrats of all the Counties are to be invited to Bpeak at these meetings, and the nominees for State offices aud Senators Hampton and Butler are invited to speak at the Columbia and Charleston meetings. A Talk With Capt. Tiliman. From ehe Columbia Record, Oct, 10. Capt Tiliman is still in Columbia, and will not leave for his home until to-night. As stated elsewhere he has been in steady conference with the State Executive Committee. During the reces3 for din? ner this afternoon Capt. Tiliman was seen by a Record representative, iu regard to the following Laurens dispatch in the Greenville News of yesterday in regard to what he (Tiliman) is reported as saying in a speech at Laurens: "He said he came to Laurens to Lave a confab, hearing of the proposed meeting in Columbia to night. He said that if any body of men undertook to break up the Democracy we would treat tbem worse than we did the Radicals in 76." He said after reading the paragraph that he did not say the above, but did say, as far as he could recollect, that "the Straightouts who would support the Independent ticket would have to go straight out of the party and be classed as Independents. They must either give submission to the will of the majority or appeal to the negro vote." In the interview yesterday Captain Tiliman stated that there was only one error and it was slight, but he wished it corrected. It was in regard to the negroes and Edgefield County. He said that his words were: ''That any white man who attempted to lead the negroes iu Edgefield and make them vote this Independent ticket would run a great personal risk." Continuing, he said that he regarded this to be the case throughout the Stale, and there would certainly be trouble. In the course of the talk Colonel Irby, lying on the side of the bed, remarked that he intended the election in Novem? ber to be a bloodless victory for Captain Tiliman and his ticket. Captain Tillmau quickly looked up and remarked; "Yes, it will be bloodless, if possible, but if the victory cannot be gained with? out bloodshed, theo we will have to have it by that means or any other, if it is necessary. I tell you white supremacy is what we are to fight for now, and white supremacy we must aud will have at all hazards." In giving utterance to this, Captain Tiliman displayed stromr feeling and the words were measured. An Interview YFIth Haskell. From the Sunday News. Columbia, October 11,- Judge Haskell was visited at this office this afternoon by a representative of the News and Courier, who sought an interview in reference to the conduct of his campaign. In regard to a recent interview with Capt. Tiilman and his allusion to possible trouble at the polls Judge Haskell said: "I have no apprehension of bloodshed, and do not think that our people will listen with tolerance to a suggestion which, even in its utterance, has done inexpressible barm to the name of our State. Personally, I could not better ex ; press my sentiments ou the subject than by quoting the language of Major Theo? dore G. Baker in an address to the people of Charlestonlduring the canvass of1876." Judge Haskell had an old file of the News and Courier before him as he spoke and read this quotation : "I am radically and uncompromisingly opposed, and expect to live to the very end of life opposed to violence. I am opposed to it for the in? humanity of it. I am opposed to it for the brutality of it. I am opposed to it above all for the almost invariable ele? ment of cowardice which is involved in violence, and I stand ready now and for? ever to stamp my foot on tbe dastardly spirit of violence, when the force and protection of numbers encourages individual baseness to wear the livery of courage." "What do you consider, Judge, to have been Capt. TilJman's motive in making this BUggeation 7" "I prefer to make no personal com? ments/' was the reply. "In the event that Capt. Tillman's threat is carried out, what will be the course of yourself and your party ?" "Individually, I have no power in the matter. I look to the law to protect tbe citizens in the exercise of their rights, aud the people of South Carolina have never failed to support the duly appoint? ed officers of the Government in the pre? servation of peace and the safety of per? sons. "Do you consider that this threat will have the effect of intimidating those who are associated with you in this move? ment ?" "The well known character of the men and the character of the movement, "'^aid Judge Haskell, "give a sufficient guaran? tee that they will not be influenced by any threats which may be made, but that they will be the more determined to as? sert and maintain their legal rights." "I understand you, then, to say that you and your friends will do nothing to provoke violence, but will insist on maintaining your freedom of speech and action ?" "Certainly. We apprehend no violence, will do nothing to provoke violence, and I have no doubt that thorough measures will be adopted to prevent violence." "What manner of campaign do you propose to conduct?" "The Executive Committee," Judge Haskell replied, "have not yet assembled, but my impression is that no public meetings will be held, and no speeches made, for tbe people understand the whole question, and we appeal simply to their calm reason and their patriotism." ? Mr. 0. P. Hayden, of the Fork, while out fox hunting one night last week had a narrow escape of being choked to death by a snake. The snake ran up the pants legs of Mr. Hayden, and in less time than it takes to tell it that gentleman was almost devoid of clothes, for he got out of them in a hurry. The snake|immediately twined around Mr. Hayden's neck, but was as quickly torn from there by the young man. He had to be "lightning" with it, however, or the slippery serpent would have choked him probably to death in a little while.?Orangcburg Enterprise. Happy Hooslers. Win. Timmons, Postmaster of Idaville, Ind., writes: "ElectricBitters lias done more lor me than all other medicines com? bined, for that bad feeling arising from Kidney and Liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place says : "Find E'.ectric Bitters to be thebest Kidney and Liver medicine, made me feel like a new man." J. W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town says: Electric Bitters is just tbe thing for a man who is all run down and don't care whether he lives or dies; he found new strength, good appetite and felt just like he had a new lease on life.
