The representatives of the Democratic Party of the United States, in National Convention assembled, do re I affirm their allegiance to the principles of the party as formulated by Jefferson and I exemplified and illustrated by his suc? cessors in Democratic leadership from Madison to Cleveland. We believe that the public welfare de? mands that these principles be applied to the conduct pf the Federal Government through the accession to power of a party that advocates them; and we solemnly declare the need of a return to these fun damental principles of free, popular government, based on home rule and in? dividual liberty, was never more urgent than now, when the tendency to central? ize all power at the Federal Capital has become a menace to the reserved rights of the State that strikes at the very roots of our Government under the National Constitution as framed by the fathera of theRepublic. Section 2. We warn the people of our common country, jealous for the preser? vation of their free institutions, that (he policy of Federal control of elections, to which the Republican party has commit? ted itself, is fraught with the gravest danger, scarcely less momentous, that would result from a revolution establish? ing a monarchy on the ruins of the Re? public. It strikes at the North as well as the South and injures colored Citizens even more than the whites. It meanu a horde of deputy marshals at every polling place and armed with Federal authority, the outrages on the electoral rights of the jjpeopie in several States, the subjugation 'of the colored people in control of the party in power and the reviving of race antagonisms now happily abated, an ut? most per: 1 to the safety and happiness of all, a measure deliberately and justly de? scribed by a leading Republican Senator as "the most infamous bill that ever crow? ed the threshold of the Senate." Snch a policy, if sanctioned by law, would metn the dominance of a self-perpetuating cb ligarchy of office-holders, and the party first entrusted with its machinery could be dislodged from power only by an ap? peal to the reserved rights of the people to resist oppression, which is inherent in all self-governing communities, Two years ago this revolutionary policy was emphatically condemned by the people at the polls, but in contempt of-their verdict the Republican party has defiantly de? clared in its latest authoritative utterance ! that its success in the coming elections means an enactment of a force bill and the usurpation of a despotic control over the elections in all the States. Beliepng that the preservation of Republican Gov? ernment in the United States is dependent on the defeat of this policy of legalized force and fraud, we invite the support of all citizens who desire to see the Consti? tution maintained, with the laws pursu? ant thereof, which have given our conn try a hundred years of unexampled pros perity, and we pledge the Democratic party, if it be entrusted with the power, not only to the defeat of the force bill, but also to relentless opposition to the Republican policy of profligate expendi ture, which, in the short space of not quite three years, squandered an enor? mous surplus, emptied an over-flowing treasury, after piling newbnrdons of tax? ation on the already over-taxed labor of the country. , Section 3. We denounce the Republi? can protection ob a fraud on the labor of a great majority of the American people for the benefit of a few. We declare it to be the fundamental principle of the Dem ooratic party that the Government has no constitutional power to impose and collect tariff duties except for the purposes of revenue only, [applause and cheers,] and we demand that the collection of snch taxes shall be limited to the necessiites of the Government,when honestly and eco? nomically administered. We denounce the McKinley tariff law enacted by the 51st Congress as the cul? minating atrocity of class legislation; wo endorse the efforts of the Democrats of the present Congress to modify its most oppressive features in the direction of free raw materials and cheaper manufactured goods that enter into general consumption, and we promise its repeal as one of the beneficial results that will follow the ac? tion of the people in entrusting power to the Democratic party. Since the McKin? ley tariff went into operation there have been ten reductions of wages to laboring men to one increase. We deny that there has been any in? crease of prosperity to the country since that tariff reform went into operation, and we point to the dullness and distress, wuge reduction and strikes in the iron trade as the best possible evidence that no ?ach prosperity resulted from the Mc? Kinley Act. We call the attention of thoughtful Americans to the fact that af? ter thirty years of restrictive taxes against the importations of foreign wealth in ex? change for our agricultural supplies, the homes and farms of the country have be? come burdened with a real estate mort? gage debt of $2,500,000,000, exclusive of other forms of indebtedness ; that in one of the chief agricultural States of the West there appears a real estate mort? gage debt averaging $156 per capita of the total population, and that similar conditions and tendencies are shown to exist in other agriculture exporting States. We denounce a policy which fos? ters no industry so much as it does that of the sheriff. Section 4. Reciprocity is a time hon? ored doctrine of the Democratic faith, but we denounce the sham reciprocity which juggles with the people's desire for enlarged foreign markets and free ex? changes in pretending to establish closer trade relations of the country, whose ar? ticles of export are almost exclusively agric nltural products, with other coun tries that are also agricultural, while erecting custom house barriers of prohi? bitive tariff taxes against the richest countries of the world that stand ready to take our entire surplus of products and to exchange those for commodities, ne? cessaries and comforts of life among our people. Section 5. We recognize in the trusts and combinations which are designed to enable capital to secure more than its just share of the joint product oi capital and labor the natural consequence of the pro? hibitive taxes which prevent free compe tion, which is the life of honest trade, but we believe their worst evils can be abated by law, and wo demand the enforcement of laws made to prevent and control them with such further legislation in restraint of their abuses as exptrie ice may nh-.w to be necessary, j J ; Section 6. The Republican party, j while professing the policy of receiving public land for small holdings by actaal settlers, has given away the people's h m tsge till now a few railroads and non-res? ident aliens, individual and corporate, I possess a larger area than that of all oar farmers between the two seas. The last Democratic Administration reversed th? I improvident and unwise policy of the Re j pnblican party touching the public do I main, and reclaimed from corporations, and syndicates, alien and domestic, and restored to the people nearly one hundred, million acres of valuable land to be sa? credly held as homesteads for our citi? zens, and we pledge ourselves to continue this policy until every acre of land so un? lawfully held shall be reclaimed and re ? stored to the people. I Section 7. We denounce the Repub? lican legislation known as the Sherman. Act of 1890 as a cowardly make shift,, ! fraught with possibilities of danger in the future, which should make out all of its supporters as well as its author anxious for its speedy repeal. We hold to the* dbg of both gold and silver without dis? criminating against either metal or charge for mintage, but'the dollar unit for coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value or be adjusted through an international agreement or be such safeguards of legis? lation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals, and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the* market and in the payment of debts a.nd we demand that all paper cur? rency shall bept at pai: with,and redeem? able in sncn* coin. Wo insist on this pol? icy as especially necessary for the protec? tion of the farmers and laboring classes, the first and most defenceless victims of unstable money and fluctuating cur? rency. Section 8. We recommend that the prohibitory 10 per cent, tax on State bank issues be repealed. Section 9. Public: office is a public trust. We reaffirm the declaration of the Democratic National ?Convention of 1876 for the reform of the ci vil service, and we call for the hones enforcement of all laws regulating the same. The nomination for the President, as in the recent Republi? can Convention, by delegations composed largely of his appointees holding offices at his pleasnrej, is a scandalous satire on free popnlar institutions, and a startling illustration of the methods by which the President may gratify Mb ambition. We denounce the policy under which the Federal officeholders usurp the control of the party Conventions in the States, and we pledge the Democratic party :to a re form of these and all other abusai which threaten individual liberty and local self government. , . Section 10. The Democratic pirty is the only party that has ever giv en the country a foreign policy consistent and vigorous, compelling respect abroad and inspiring confidence at home. While avoiding entangling alliences, it has Aim? ed to cultivate friendly relations' with other nations, and especially with our neighbors on the American Continent, whose destiny is closely linked with out own, and we view with alarm the tenden? cy to a policy of irritation and bluster which is liable a t any time to confront us with the alternative of humiliation or war. We favor the maintenance of a navy strong enough for all purposes of na? tional defence and to properly maintain the honor and dignity of the country abroad. Section 11. This country has always been the refuge of the oppressed from every land, exiles for conscience sake; and in the spirit of the. founders of oui Government we condemn the oppression practiced by the Russian Government on its Russian and Jewish subjects, and we call upon our National Government, in the interest of justice and humanity, by all just and proper means, to use its prompt and best efforts to bring about, a cessation of these cruel persecutions in the domininions of the Czar and to secure to the oppressed equal rights. We tender our profound and earnest sympathy to those lovers of freedom who are strug? gling for home rule and the great oause of local self-government in Ireland, i Section 12. We heartily approve all legitimate efforts to prevent the United States from being used as a dumping ground for known criminals and profes? sional paupers of Europe and we demand the rigid enforcement of the laws against Chinese immigrants or the importation of foreign men under contract to degrade American labor and lessen its wages, but we condemn and denounce any and all attempts to restrict the immigration of the industrious and worthy of foreign lands. Section 12. This Convention hereby renews the expression of approbation of the patriotism of the soldiers and sailors of the Union in the war for its preserva? tion, and we favor just and liberal pen? sions for all disabled Union soldiers, their widows and dependents, but we demand the work of the pension office shall be done industriously, impartially and hon? estly. We denounce the present admin? istration of that office as incompetent, corrupt, disgraceful and dishonest. Section 14. The Federal Government should care for and improve the Missis sissippi River and other great waterways of the Republic so as to secure for the in? terior States easy and cheap transporta? tion to the tide water. When any water? way of the public iB of sufficient impor? tance to demand the aid of the Govern? ment, that such aid should be extended on a definite plan of continuous work until the permanent improvement is se? cured. Section 15. For the purposes of the National defences and the promotion of commerce between the States, we recog? nize the early construction of the Nica rauga canal and its protection against foreign control as of great importance to the United States. Section 14. Recognizing the World's Columbian Exposition as a national un? dertaking of vast importance in which the general Government has invited the co operation of all the powers of the world, and appreoiating the acceptance by many of such powers of the invitation extended, and the broadest liberal efforts being made by them to contribute to the grandeur of the undertaking, we are of the opinion that Congress should make such necsBsary financial provision as shall be requisite to the maintenance of the National honor and public faith, j Section 17. Popular education being ' the only safe basis of popular suffrage, I we recommend to the several States the 1 most liberal appropriations fur public schools. Free common schools are the nursery of good government and tbey have always received the fostering care of tin Democratic party, which favors every r.s of increasing intelligence. The ire**: <q of?. 'icatipu, being a a essential of civil and religions liberty, as well as a necessity for the development of intelli? gence, must not be interfered with under any pretext whatever. We are opposed to ; State interference with parental rights ; and the rights of conscience in the edu j cation of children as an infringement of I a fundamental Democratic doctrine that i the largest individual liberty, consistent ?' with the rights of others, insures the highest type of American citizenship and ? the best government. Section 18. We approve the action of : the present House of Representatives in ? passing bills for the admission into the I Union, as States, of the Territories of ? New Mexico and Arizona, and we favor the early admission of all Territories ! having the necessary population and re ' sonrces to admit them to Statehood, and ; while they remain Territories we hold :' that the officials appointed to admiuister I the Government of any Territory, togeth \ er with the Districts of Columbia and j Alaska, should be bona fide residents of ' the Territory or District in which their duties are performed. The Democratic party believes in home rule and the con? trol of their own affairs by the people of the vicinage. Section 19. We favor legislation by Congress and State Legislatures to protect the lives and limbs of railway employees and other hazardous transportation com? panies, and! denounce the inactivity of the Republican party, and particularly the Republican Senate,* for causing the defeat of measures beneficial and pro? tective to this class of, wage workers. Section 20. We are in favor of th e enactment by the State of laws abolishing the notorious sweating system, for abol? ishing the contract convict labor, and for prohibiting the employment in factories of children under fifteen years of age. Section 21. We are opposed to all sumptuary laws as an interference with the individual rights of the citizen. Sektion 22. Upon this statement of principles and policies the Democratic party asks the intelligent Jadgnmnt of the American people. It asks a change of Administration and a change of party in .order that there may be a change of sys* tern and a change of methods, thus assu? ring the maintenance unimpaired of the institutions under which the Republic has grown great and powerful. The Calendar Correct* On May 22, about I . m., a dispatch dated Melbourne, Australia, May 23, was received at the newspaper offices announcing that Deeming, the murderer, was hanged about 10 a. m. This was startling intelligence. Here, apparent? ly, was the information of the occurrence of an event fourteen hours before it could have happened. It was 'Sunday night with us, about an hour after sunset, when the news came; it was Monday forenoon, several hours after sunrise, when the news was sent, and the news had to go halfway around the globe be? fore reaching us. But how or why does this seeming" break in the orderly course of the calen? dar occur? This is all very simple when the causes are known. There was noth? ing the matter with the calendar. The affair occurred just as reported, and the variation or disagreement in time is doe merely to the differences in longitude be* tween the two places. By common consent of the nations longitude on the globe is reckoned from Greenwich, England. The prime merid? ian is considered to be at chat point. Melbourne is, is round figures, 145 de? grees east of Greenwich, and St. Louis is 90 degrees west of Greenwich. That is, in pasaing along the globe westward from Melbourne to St. Louis 285 degrees of longitude are traversed. Each 15 de? grees constitute an hour in time. The earth makes a complete revolution from West to East in 360 degrees in twenty four hours. In each hour, therefore, it turns 15 degrees. Places 15 degrees east of us see the sun an hour before we do. Places 90 degrees east of us see -it six hours before we do, and so on. The sunrise, noon, sunset and all other hours come to those places as a consequence, earlier than tbey do to us. The present hour of the day to the inhabitants of St. Louis, whatever the hour may be, came to the inhabitants of Melbourne about fifteen and two-thirds hours ago. To places west of ns this order of f hings, of course, is reversed, i But at what part of the globe does the j day begin ? This was a problem which once bothered the scientists. The sun is rising in some part or other of the globe every moment. In some part or other of the globe the sun is always setting or on the meridian. Therefore it is daylight always somewhere. Yet it was necessary to select a conventional starting point for the day. It was desirable, too, that the place of transition should be in the ocean. At last the chief countries of the world agreed that the change of the day should take place along a line drawn nearly north and south through the Pacific Ocean. This is called the date line. Under this arrangement the new day is considered to make its advent on Easter Island. This island is west of Chili, and about a third of the distance between that country and New Zealand. Then when it is Sunday on the American continent it is Monday on Easter Island. That island and the places to the west of it along the date line always keep ahead of us one day. This is why on Sunday night in St. Louis it was Monday forenoon in Melbourne at the same instant of absolute time.? St. Louis Globe Democrat. ? The Brooklyn boy who defined con? science as "something wot makes you sorry wen you get found out," dident strike a high ethical standpoint, but he came pretty close to the views of a good many people on the subject. ? The coffee crop of Brazil has been so large that the railroads of one of the provinces have for weeks been blocked, every available car boing in service, freight depots being crowded, and further receipts of coffee being declined. ? Mr. J. Edward Stone, who is now walking on a wager that he will walk from San Francisco to New York within 134 days, reached Port Jervis, New York, Saturday morning. He expected to be in New York on Tuesday afternoon when he will have covered 3,324 miles. He left San Francisco on February 22, ar.d had been on the road 124 days. He had worn out ten pair of shoes on his journey. ? In the suburbs of Mobile reside a number of negroes, the descendants and part of the last cargo of slaves brought into the United States in 1861. They have never associated with other negroes, are but partially civilized, still use their native language, and are ruled by a queen of their own choosing. They enjoy a good reputation for industry and honesty, and their colony is one of the curiosities most eagerly viewed, by uiglitseerB; Imitated GoTernorMTillman at Kings tree. Greenville News. Pelzer, S. C.| Jane 21.?A largo crowd assombled at the hall at Pelzer to-night to hoar some speeches which were prom? ised by the Tillman "coat tail swingers." J. Bolton Watson, W. G. Field, Josh Ashley and Morgan Pack were present and expected to speak. The watch word of tho Pelzer boys was "Remember Anderson." Tho crowd marched to the hall to the inspiring tunes of "Hang Josh Ashley on a sour apple tree." After seeing that they wero in a small minori? ty, the gentlemen who had come cooked and primed for a "walk over" concluded and very wisely that they had better hold a secret meeting. The boys decided that they would bo with tbem and, although the bulk of them had forgotten the "pass word," they got there all the same, and when tho olect arrived in the hall the "boys" were with them. The delegates then broke and most of tbem ran to cover, viz: Morgan Pack, W. G. Field, Ac. The crowd escorted Josh Ashley, Bel ton Watson and others back to tho hotel and saw them safe in thoir rooms and then tendered thorn an informal sere? nade. The gentlemen seemed overcome with that "tired feeling," and did not need much urging to keep out of sight. While in the hotel parlor "Rube" told their fortunes. Josh would get three votes?one from Judge, one from Mor? gan and one from Josh. Hi A. C. Latimer was like tho man who fell out of the balloon and possibly real? izing this fact did not show up. The boys wero sorry for thoy remembered Anderson, at which place he, although chairman of the convention, voted them down. Morgan, "the fortune toller," said, he would "kuwallop, kuwallop, kuwallop," but would not be in it unless somebody furnished him a suit of clothes. J. Belton Watson was introduced to the boys on his return to the betel. Ho seemed a little diffident about meeting the "rough factory folks," but the boys wanted to see him and struck matches and gazed upon bis countonance. He did not have as much to say as he had at Anderson. We can account for this, perhaps, as the "Pelzer boys" were in the gallery this time. In conclusion wo would beg to say that we Pelzer folks are satisfied with the meeting. It was a decided success, and as "Rube" said when he looked up at the sky: "Boys, the stars are all in a tumble and they say Sheppard and Orr." In the Anderson convention S. 0. Jackson was with us and will poll.a good vote at Pel? zer for county commissioner. P. ? The ? People's party Convention in Montana nominated a lady, Miss Emma Knowles, for Attorney General of the State. ? There are about'11,000,000 women in Italy, and some 2,000,000 of them are en? gaged in industrial occupations, while more than 3,000,000 labor in tho fields. ? There are now nearly 500 electric railways in the United States, with near? ly 4,000 miles of traok. Over 250,000,000 passengers are safely transported yearly. ? One of the richest brewers in Europe is Dreher, of Vienna, who is reported to be worth forty million dollars, to which the profits of his breweries add two mil? lions a year. Yet be spends no more than if his income amounted to only so many thousands and never gives a cent to oharlty. ? The national election this year will take place on November 8.. Members of the House of Representatives from all the States but three, Governors or other State officers in most of the States and Legis? latures in over half of the States will be elected on that day, in addition to the President and Vioe President. ? Among the other great things in this country the number of its high moun? tains is a remarkable feature. There are 360 mountains in the United States each exceeding 10,000 feet in height. The greatest number are found in Colorado and Utah. In Alaska there are five which exceed 15,000 feet, and Mount Elias, 19, 500 feet high, is the loftiest peak in the United States territory. ? The Abbeville Medium says: "We consider ourselves a pretty good judge of babies. In a long time we have not seen a brighter or handsomer baby than that of R. P. Davis, of Level Laud, who had it in town with him on Saturday. The child has the eyes of its father, but the face and smile of its mother." We take it for granted that R. P. Davis, of Level Land, is level-hoaded enough to observe that this is election year, and that it is his ballot more than bis baby that the editor of the Medium is after. ? Dr. Pierson, who has so acceptably filled Spurgeon's pulpit for several months, recently preached a sermon ask? ing for money. He inquired why some of his auditors would not give up smok? ing and devote the results of this economy to charity, and suggested that ladies like? wise make sacrifices by selling, or send? ing him to sell, some of their jewelry. The verv next evening? while he.was sitting with his deacons in council, a box was banded into the room, and, upon exami? nation, was found to be full of costly jew? els. ? It doesn't require an e^)ert to tell whether a diamond is genuine or not. The test is very simple and can be made in any -Mace and in a moment. All you need is a lead pencil and a piece of paper. With the former make a small dot on the paper, then look at it through the dia? mond. If you can see but one dot you can depend upon it that the stone is genu? ine but if the mark is scattered, or snows more than one, you will be perfectly safe in refusing to pay 10 cents for a stone that may be offered you at 8500. ? ? With the usual intelligent tact the Register says "Why don't the ring oi gans publish a list of the negroes lynohed under other administrations than Tin? man's? How about the Hamburg and Ellenton riots 1 They might tread upon the corns of their own leaders." Tho Hamburg and Ellenton riots occurred un? der Chamberlaiu's administration, and it has been generally understood that the principal campaign sorvice of B. R. Till? man in 1876 was done at Hamburg. It would probably be unfortunate just now to bring up his connection with that afj fair.?Greenville News. ' ? ?"Baby" Ruth Cleveland is in the cam? paign. She made her first appearance in the wigwam at Chicago on Wednesday last. Over the purple or crimson or yel? low of the garish badges on the breasts of many a delegate and boomer that; day there flattered a tiny strip of white silk ribbon on which appeared in gold letters "Baby Ruth." Whence the little em? blems crime no one seemed to know, but the big, brawny, bearded politicians wore the baby girl's insignia as proudly as they displayed the colors of her great statesman father. ? One of the novelties of the day is the "mirror glove." A woman has often need of as much looking-glass as she can see her face in. In the street, at a ball, at a theatre, in the shops, all sorts of disar? rangements may occur and to set them right a mirror is an absolute necessity. The want is one that really has been long felt, and some clumsy attempts have been made to meet it. But the very handiest form of portable mirror is the new "mir? ror glove." A little flap is buttoned up into tho palm of ono glove. When it is let down a small circular mirror is dis? closed. The advantage of this arrange? ment is said to be that tho wearer can look at herself without looking as if she wore looking. ? Tho Electoral College this year will have 444 votes, making 223 tho majority the winner in the Presidential race mu3t have. The solid South will give, it is be lievd, 159 of these votes. New Jersey will add 10 and Michigan at least four, bring? ing tho sure votes to 173. Connecticut will probably add 6 votes, Indiana 15 and Now York 30, making the welcome total of 230. If, therefore, the Democrats do as woll this year as they did in 187G and 1884 they will win. They think thoy have new chances in various Western States that thoy havo never had beforo. It is not at all unlikely that they will have onough new Western electoral votes to bo able to do without New York's 3(3. Still New York's 36 will bo "handy," and the chances uro that tho Democracy will get them. CHILD BIRTH ? ? ? ? ? ? MADE EASY!

A LONG FELT WANT! AFTER FIVE YEARS of patient and persevering endeavor I have at last succeeded in getting control of the best hand-made copper distilled Whiskey in the world. This Whiskey has been tested by the United States Chemist at Washington, D. C, and declared to be perfectly free from all poisonous chemicals generally present in the dis? tillation of all Whiskeys commonly used in the TJniteJ States. It is entirely free from the maddening effect, the nauseating of the stomach, and the immediate intoxication that is always the result of the use of an inferior article. It is pleasant to the palate, has not that burning effect so common in other goods, It is strengthening, invigora? ting and mild, giving the houyancy of youth to old age. It is stimulating to the over? worked and feeble j in cases pf consumption, heavy colds, weak lungs, debility and loss of appetite it is quickly recommended by the leading doctors and hospital physicians in the United States, and no sick room should he without it. All enfeebled, weak, old and infirm should take it daily as directed, and thereby regain that bouancy and strength that countless thousands stand so much in need of. This Celebrated Whiskey is sold as cheap as a very common article, and can be found for sale at JOHN O'DONNELL'S PALACE SALOON, SOUTH MAIN STREET, ANDERSON, S. C. BESSSSSSSEBSSBSSBi In addition to the above I have the different vintages of Europe, including the cele? brated bands of Wines from Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Also, Scotch and Irish Whiskeys, Dublin and London Porter, Bass Ale, and all other Liquors that go to complete a First Class Saloon.

F the average man turns with the fond? est recollections of childhood's days?those good old days?when our mothers used to make Preserves, Jams, Jellies, Ac, and put them up in large earthen Jars, from which it was impossible to keep the toys from eating their nil ever and anon. But that day has passed and gone?those big Jars are no more. They are being replaced by a neat glass article, which can be se? curely sealed, and thereby secure not only the Preserves, Jams, Ac, but all .manner of fruits and vegetables in their natural state. To those housekeepers who have tried them we would say use more and more, for they are cheaper /at our Store this season than ever before. To those who have not tried them we will say go at once and obtain the blessing. Your boys will grow up honest, and your Fruits and Preserves will be preserved, and peace and prosperity will attend you. Call and get a supply of Mason's Jars. A. N. TODD & CO.
