Columbia, Oct. 23d, 1890. Z&Myh&ecp Sir?When, I. wrote a.perso.n ^al no'te.to yon recently, my intention was j^remain idlent until I could give my ?viewa-to'yon morefoilyvthan was then done, bnt since my return home so many' - friends have asked of mean expression "of opinion on' the conditions of" political fisflkira, that I gave a brief statement to the pres3 a few days since. This perhaps '^renders it necessary for me to address yon again, but as various communications and invitations to.speak at public meet? ings have reached me, I take this method ^bf making; my views known to those who ? hare done me the honor to ask for them. .' Another reason that induces me to take tbifl course is the fact that my position ing political matters here and my conduct have been grossly misrepresent? ed in some quarters, and I desire that , joy-fellow-citizens may be fully, informed as^toibotbr; so that tbey may. judge aright. When my old constituents of -this County who have so often trusted aud honored ? rae in the past, invited me to address them in Jnne last, I came having but one object in view, and that was to appeal toi our people for harmony, for - conciliation, for unity of action, i ex? pressly disclaimed any intention of inter? fering in any way with the canvass for Governor, and I neither advocated any candidate hqr opposed any. I said that-] /the people were the sole and proper judges in the selection of their officials, and that from their.verdict there should be no appeal. In order that there might ^Beta fnH and free . expression of their wishes as to the selection of candidates I orged that a primary should beheld, and ad this plan been adopted the present leplorable condition of affairs would not have existed. Other counsels prevailed 'and the result is a divided party and a . bitter contest between Democrats, all of .whom should be/ united to maintain the supremacy of our party and to promote ' the welfare of our State. No one deplores pUue .unhappy dissentions in onr party ?1bwe than myself,Nand I. would willingly 'make any sacrifice to heal them, were it in my power to do so. But the only remedy that can be applied must come -from the conservatism and the patriot ; Ism of the people themselves, and we rcan only hope that by the exercise of - these virtues the d&Dgers that threaten ftwjnay be aTerted. It was the convio ' tion of my inability to reform our broken ranks now that induced me to decline to take part in any public discussion on the hustings. My judgment is clear that public meetings at this juncture would be unwise; that thoy would only tend to widen the existing breach in our party perhaps to make it irreconcilable, w?nt no further excitement; we have had already too much of that and of ,a pernicious character, the issues iuv^lv ed ara fally understood by the people who are entirely competent to decide thecL ?< v : Bat. whilst I shall not speak again Fa' this canvass I -shall mltfffifa ticket .nominated in Septemttjfc ^Qt in doing this I by-- no mefcoa endorse the grave charges whicsi have been made against the Democraiio parly of the State. Honesty and integrity have marked every administration which has governed the State since 1876, and we Bhall indeed be fortunate, if our officials in the future shall be as able, as patriotic and as hon? est as they have been in the past four? teen years I am impelled to support tharSeptember tickBt because it was nominated by the Democratic Conven? tion and - because tbe other ticket lacks that endorsement. I regret deeply that this' latter ticket has been brought out, though I have the greatest respect for .the. gentlemen composing it, and I do not for one moment question the motives ;bf those who nominated it. For the . . gallant and distinguished gentleman who is at its bead I entertain the highest possible regard and esteem. I cannot forget his eminent services to the State in peace sod in war. To him we were largely indebted for the success which crowned our efforts in 4876, and there is no office in the gift of the State for which I would not earnestly and cordially support him were he endorsed by the recognized authority of the Democratic party. All denunciations of him and of those whom he represents is, in my opin? ion, unworthy of those who indulge in it, and it will only serve to prolong and em? bitter the unfortunate strife which now divides" our party. No one who knows Col. Haskell can doubt his sincerity, his conscientiousness or his Democracy. I certainly, do not; and whilst I think that he,has.made.a mistake, in lending his Dame and "his influence to the move? ment inaugurated by his friends, I shall not denounce-the man who was my com? rade in the. war, who was one of the ablest and bravest officers in my com? mand, and who -was my trusted friend and adviser in'76. .1 do not venture to offer advice to my fellow-citizens, for my last honest effort to do bo fell unheeded, but I do appeal t? them by the glorious memories or'76, by all our hopes for the enduring prosperity of our State to avoid all semblance of violence in the conduct of the election. 'Any act of that sort would not only tarnish the fair fame of the' State,.: but it would place in the hands of our - political opponents the most powerful weapon to be used against us, and it" would furnish.the strongest .argument for the enactment of the odious Federal ? election bill, now pending ibefore Congress.; Let .everjr man who holds the Honor of our State dear'consti? tute, himself a special guardian of the peace, and let us prove to those who -traduceus that whatever-differences may .exist in our party we can settle them at the ballot box without resorting to intim? idation; to fraud or to violence., .Then we may confidently cherish the hope that when the bitterness engendered by . the present unhappy strife haa died out we shall see again a united party and a prosperous people. A return to the time - '.TVhen none was for a party, TVhen all were for the State In the bravVdays of old." .1 am very respectfully yours, ? Wade Hampton. ?. .". ' ? " ?"', . ? Haskell Commended, The long expected address of the Com? mittee on address of the Republican State Executive Committee war given to the press yesterday, and is given below. The address claims that the Democratic perty has, by the. partisan . execution of the .laws, defeated the will of the voters, and urges, or commends, that all Republicans consider favorably the Haskell ticket. The address is as follows:. - Headquaetebs. of. the Republican ' . State Executive Committee, ' - ? Columbia,' S. C' Oct. 24,1890. To the Republicans of Sp?th Carolina: Your Executive-Com naittee, to which was referred by the last State Convention the advisability of nominating. a State ticket, have, after careful' deliberation, reached the unanimous conclusion that it would be nnwise'and inexpedient to place ?^Republican State ticket'in the field at this election. ? ^With a majority of . over 80,000 of the legal voters- of this State, the Republicans have made ho nomination for State offi? cers since the. memorable campaign of -1876.' Since theo, by the partisan execu? tion of the registration and election laws designed to defeat the will of the majori? ty of the voters of this State,' thousands -of^Republicans have been disfranchised, and, against their earnest protests and .active' efforts, denied a voice .and partici? pation, in the- government under which they live. Those'laws, in the hands of the - Democratic officials, have been enforced only as against Republicans, and' the so-called, regular election has become -a farce,, supplanted by a Democratic pri -mary"or nominating Convention. ? For years there has been on the part of i .the Democratic masses a feeling of dis? content and suspicious dissatisfaction with the administration of the State gov? ernment, the natural and inevitable re? sult of the demoralizing means and meth? ods by which it has been perpetuated. This result has at last culminated in one of the most remarkable campaigns in the political history of the State. - Charges of political and official perjury .extravagance and corruption have been openly and defiantly made by Tillman and his fol? lowers against the administration of the State government. We did not suppose, that the Democrats would so far stultifv themselves as to place the seal of their official' condemnation upon their own State government by rewarding the author of these charges with the control of their ' party organization and the future admin? istration of the State. But such is the. unique condition of ?affairs. Tillman and his lieutenants con? trol the organization and claim to be the regular nominees of the Democratic party. In opposition to Tillman and his methods, a large and influential element, -beaded by Judge A. C. Haskell, of Co? lumbia, have placed a ticket in the field, and appeal for its support to the people of the State without regard to party affiliation. The most important question that has been presented for the consideration of your committee has been the propriety and expediency of endorsing the Haskell ticket. - While we have grave doubts as to the propriety of your committee giving to this ticket the sanction of its partisan endorsement, we have no hesitation in declaring our belief that as between the . two tickets the best interests of all classes would be the better subserved by the success of the Haskell ticket. ? Certainly no Republican who has heard or read Tillman's utterances dur? ing this campaign could conscientiously vote the Tillman ticket. Tbe succeas of this ticket without a vigorous protest at the polls will, in the judgment of your committee, result in the enactment of . class legislation and the paasage of laws to discriminate against and oppress the Republicans of the Statu. The Tillman faction stand pledged to the calling of a constitutional convention, the evident purpose of which is to. restrict the suf? frage as to forever deprive a large num? ber of Republicans of tbe right to vote. The Haskell faction declare in favor of a free ballot and a fair count, and promise if elected to give the people of this State a government that will protect and main? tain the rights of all its citizens. A conference of colored men recently held at Columbia passed tbe following resolution: "Resolved, That we recommend the negroes, for the betterment of their con? dition, to vote the Haskell ticket." With these facta before us, your com? mittee have concluded that in the pres? ent crisis you could consistently vote tbe Haskell ticket without violating your allegiance to tbe Republican party ; and while not urging this course as a party measure, we commend the ticket to your favorable consideration. By order of the Executive Committee. E. A. Webster, Chairman. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, a Re? publican paper of intelligence and dis? cretion, frankly admits that it would be useless, as well as criminal, to deny that the situation throughout the country is far from being encouraging to the Repub? licans. In all the elections held within the past few weeks, it says, the party lost ground. Tillman at Gaffncy. Spartanburg, Oct. 24.?There was a large crowd present at Gaffoey to hear the speech of Captain B, R. Tillman, at the Alliance meeting held there to day. Captain Tillman was introduced by Mr. John R. Jeffries, of Union. .Bespoke in a calm and dispassionate manner. He sajd that when he was in Spartanburg* County before, the farmers were in grass, but he hoped they were now picking cot ten. Continuing, he said : When your iuvitation was first received I doubted whether I ought to come, as I did not think the Alliance ought to go into poli tics. I supposed it was strictly an Alli? ance meeting. I want it distinctly understood that I was not a candidate of the Alliance, but of the Democratic party of South Caroli na. I stand before you the nominee of the regular Democracy of South Carolina, and I am ready to forgive and forget all differences of the campaign. The press of the State who fought me eo bitterly are now supporting me patriotically since my Domination. The Mews and Courier seems to be running both sides somewhat ?one Bide Democratic and the other In? dependent, the latter marked "advertise? ment." It looks like running one side for policy and the other for pay. I consider the election of our Congress-' men of more importance than my own. One vote of Congress might turn the tide of affairs against us. If the Lodge bill becomes a law it would result in Republican control for the next twenty-five years. We quarrel, and the Republicans come in and steal the bone we are contending for. I -am willing to give the negro hia rights, but I want good government and white supremacy maintained. Talk about eating crow I Why some men in the State have fixed a buzzard pie with a little white crust on top of it marked 'Haskell, and ask us to eat it. I have examined Haskell's record since he insulted me in Columbia. He hates me personally, and will ruin us and sink the ship rather than see me Governor after I have been nomi? nated by an overwhelming majority. The devil took Haskell up on a high mountain and Bhowed him a negro majority and said: "Get this, and you can be Gover? nor of the State." When in the Supreme Court, Judge Haskell tried to fix millions of green bonds made by the Radicals up? on the State against the decision of the other Judges. Receiver Chamberlain, of the South Carolina Railway now demands the payment of these bonds by presenting them in payment of taxes due the State by the road. Haskell then went from the bench to accept the presidency of a rail? road monopoly, and is now the president of a bank. Continuing, he said: do your duty or you may wake up on the 5th of Novem? ber and find the electibh lost. I am the nominee'for Governor, and if elected Governor, will be Governor or there will be no Governor in South Carolina. [Great applause.] A Neat Train Bobbery, Sorocco, New Mexico, October 24.? Thursday morning, as. the. South bound train on the Santa Fe Railroad polled out of Sorocco, three men were seen to step oo board. After the train had passed Sao Antonio, these strangers had entered the Pullman sleeper and locked the door, then they drew their guns on the porter and conductor and relieved them of their surplus cash. They theo introduced themselves to the passengers, going through most of them and making quite a haul. They jumped from the train on the Basque De Apache grant, taking to the hills. It is estimated that they got $1,500. The. thing was done so neatly and quietly that very few on the train '"knew what had happened. '.Che robbers 'were ; dressed as cowboys, whose caps were intended to disguise them as much as possible. The officers of the road have offered a reward of $1,000 for their ar? rest.' - . A Novel Bridal Tour. .Birmingham,. Ala., October 24.? There was a thrilling balloon ascension at the State fair to-day. Thomas J. Mims and Miss Gertrude Pittman, of Brewtoo, Ala., were married in froot of the grand Stand in the presence of 10,000 people. Rev. S. M. Adams, president of the State Alliance, performed the ceremony. The young couple theo stepped into the car of a~monster gas balloon, and with aeronaut Baldwin sailed off oh a bridal tour. The balloon took a Southerly direction and at the height of a mile and a half went over Red Mountain. It was last seen this af ternodn.-at 2.30 o'clock passing over Ax more, seven miles South of Birmingham, and still beading for the mountainous region of Shelby County. The State fair management gave the young couple a purae of $250, and a large number of presents were given to them. The groom is 20, and the bride 18. Erskine College May he Removed. Due West, October 21.?Scarce had the tears been dried upon the cheeks of the A. R. P. congregation because of the resignation of their pastor, Dr. Pressly, been relieved, when fresher and more painful lacerations were made io this body of Christians by the sudden prospect of the removal of Erskioe College from their midst. In the regret of Dr. Press ly's resignation the entire community participates, but to avert the impending danger that threatens a laodmark of our County ia a matter that seriously concerns upper Oarolioa. The College may be re? moved to Rock Hill, although several have made fine offers for the honor. The question will be settled at the A. R. P. Synod, which meets in Kentucky this week.?Greenville News. The Baltimore Records reports show the organization in the Southern States, dur? ing the last month, of upwards of 3,000 new enterprises, including almost every line of industry, from the Bin all saw mills to great steel and iron works ; and it says the last quarter of the year bids fair to be the most active ever Been in the South.

I claim it is untrue, and I consequently brand it as false. Of course a man can sell bis goods for hair what they cost, cr give them away if he wants to. But it appears to me this town is not very well stocked with tbe half-cost or giving away kind of merchants. Goods disposed of in thin manner are hard to find., : Ever eifice the Indian warrior roamed at will through the ancient forests of Carolina the trader's and merchant's object was always to get as much as he could" for his goods, But now, at the closing of tbe nineteenth century, during which science and art have made such wondrous strides, all these old fogy systems have been gradually crowded out, and in a few years will permanently disappear from the mercantile records of this generation. Now, the perplexing question of the hour with me is, How low can I sell and live? When this will be accomplished I know I will commence rapidly to tscend the ladder that leads to success. People ioay iioid buck and be a little cautinm for a time, but my sledge hammer prices will wurk \ha magic iu tue end, and my Store being strictly a? ft ONE-PR6GE STORE," It is gaining ground as rapidly on the others an an Express train on an old Btage coach.
