Persons or dele wbo expect- to be present at the onventlon, will please communicate i|^Mr. Roddey, at 80 Broadway, New York-City. ^ Iu the elections of 18S0 and again in ? 1892the Democratic party was tuccessiuil :? to an unprecedented and glorious degree. v?inr 1804 the Republicans rode the tidal ? wave and have carried the National , ; Houseof Representatives by an over . , whelming majority, amonntintc to a ma t jorlty of nearly 2?0 out of ithe 826 mem . bers composing tfiat body. Senator Hill A was badly beaten for the Governorship . in New York. In other States the'Re % publicans made gams where .the Demo? crats had usually .been successful. Of irse ltis an uniortunate thing for the j bole country, bit It will eerve to put the Democratic party on n otic a to stand firm by its principles and work with zeal and wisdom for a great victory in 1800. If we were called upon to account for le defeat of the Democracy in theeleo m we would attributo it to Democrat? ic folly. This folly has been manifested In a multitude of ways?in constant and /unreasonable hostility to the administra? tion, by the lack of Democratic solidarity on tariff legislation to satisfy the people with" its work, by divisions among the national leaders, by the votes of the four or five traitors in tho United States Sen-^ ate, and by bitter divisions in the party in.many of ^he. States. But there is no use of crying: over spilt milk. Get aboard the grand old Democratic ship, hoist the sails to'the breeze "and two years from now by a long pull, a strong pall and a poll altogether we will land her safely in - the harbor, with peace, happiness and prosperity, aboard. The exact figures of the State election are not yet obtainable, but returns from all the Counties, some complete and oth? ers not, give Evans 29,857, and Pope 16,631 votes, and for the Convention 24,619, and against the same 23,950 votes. These figures will likely-undergo some i changes, but it seem 3 that about the same ratio will prevail. The vote on the Convention question was very close, and charges of fraud are freely made by both sides, and especially so by Dr. Pope and bis friends. Dr. }\>pe declares that he will expose some outrageous frauds. If there were frauds, all good citizens will be glad to have them exposed, no matter who tt harts. The A'ws and Courier h sensibly suggests that John Gary Evans ask for a committee from the Legislature to Investigate^ these charges before he ...takes the oath of office. Honest people would like to have an honest inveatiga . tlon which wonld declare the charges in? famous or send the perpetrators to the . penitentiary. So far as we know the elections were conducted fairly in this ' County, though there were complaints that while some were not required to : show their registration certificates others were. ;_ The various County Boards met yes? terday to canvass the returns from the late election?. The State Board will meet next week in Columbia to receive the returns and declare the result. The vote in this County, as announced officially, stood thus: For Governor, Evans 1402 ; - ?Pope 872. For Constitutional Conven % tlon, yeas 1274; nays 546. For Congress, Latimer 1459; Moorman 171; H. H. Evans l. There was no opposition to the v other State and County candidates, and they received the full vote cast. The Federal Board of Canvassers received the following telegram yesterday from .Robert Moorman, late Republican can? didate for the 54th Congress: "Ne wher? ry, S. C, Nov. 13, 1894.?I demand of J yonr Board to throw out Latimer's tick f eta for Congress because they do not say 54th Congress. If refused, I give notice of appeal to State Board of Canvassers. Robert Moorman." Of course there is in ?'ict no real ground for a contest in this vnisHi .d, but a Republican House may trinke a mountain out of a mo'e hill and <i ve Moorman the seat. It seems proba >le that the Republicans will contest <?arlv all the Congressional elections in this State. Democracy can pass through numerous 8 <>rms like that of the 6th inst. and not be hurt. A few m?n don't like it, hut tb* great heat t of Democracy beats just the same. In a national sense the Re? publicans have gamed nothing by their victory. They have secured no office, they have not made themselves an.v B'rong-r, but have probably weakened themselves, for the people will expect some relief and they can give none. If the tidal wave could have been delayed two years it would have proved a great help to the Republicans, but as it is the victory is barren. The Republican party baa greater responsibilities on its shoul? ders, has the control of one branch of Congress confided to it. bnt it is unable to do anything for the people or for itself. It is merely the beneficiary of an accu? mulation of troubles which it was the chief instrument in producing, and which yet bore against a party which succeeded it in responsibility at the moment when tbe burden fell upon the nation. It has conducted a, cowardly and impotent cam? paign. Unable to defend their record and barren of healing ideas, its orators have moved about, monotonously repeating the falsehood that the Democratic party bad caused the financial troubles. And in this falsehood they have been aided by so-called Democrats in various sections of the country demanding unconditional free coinage of silver and abusing the Democratic party for not granting it. < be Republicans may crow as long and as loud as they please. It can do no barm. It is beyond their power to enact a force bill, to rehabilitate the McKinley law, or to distribute .'.be revenues in subsidies. Graver Cleveland ia still at the helm and will be there, du ring the entire life of tbe next Congress, and in him is vested tbe power to place an emphatic and effective veto on -all pernicious legislation. Tbe Democracy Will learn wisdom by its defeat and will bo all tba stronger for the great fight of 1896. THt; Tli>AX. WAVE. American history hau no record of so sudden and complete a political reverse as the Democratic party has suffered thIb year, says the Colombia State. A Con? gressional majority of nearly a hundred .baa been changed to a minori ty of more than a hundred. States which went heavily Democratic in 1892 have given Republican majorities unexampled even in' war times. It is a most signal and sweeping defeat for tbe party which bot . two years ago received tbe overwhelming endorsement of the people. Where shall we find the cause of this revolution ? To what acts of omission or commission shall we attribute it? Tbe vote has been very great everywhere, so the result cannot be attributed to Demo? cratic indifference. The Republicans have developed no new policy and have done nothing to_ attract anew the confi? dence of the people, so their success now is not to be taken as evidence of tbe growth of Republican ideas. It is dear that the vote which defeated tbe Democ? racy on Tuesday was cast by Democrats; men disgusted with their party and wish? ing to rebuke it by the most direct and simple method.- The majorities given tbe Republican candidates go far beyond the numbers of the recognized indepen? dent vote. The factor which contributed most to the defeat of the party wax, unquestiona? bly, ? tbe hard li-ses. Men' ont of work and impoverished, men earning reduced wages, men selling tbeir products for diminished prices, testified to their dis? satisfaction by voting blindly against tbe party In power. The dominant -party in times of public distress always gfts hurt. It is instinctive among unthinking peo? ple to "hit something1" when they suffer. ' Cut a yet larger class of voters had reasons for their action, and.we think we can surmise them. They saw the Demo? crats^ pledged to a radical reduction of tariff taxation, attain full control of tbe government and waste eighteen months before they, agreed to pass even a com? promise protective tariff measure. They saw tbe House, pledged by the Demo? cratic platform to the repeal of the State bank tax, deliberately violate its faitb. They saw the Senate controlled by a handful of selfish men levying tribute on the people to enrich tbe trusts. They saw the President compel the perfor? mance of one party pledge?the repeal of tbe Sherman law?and then stop short, ' rafusintr to make even a nnggestion for the fulfilment of other pledges coupled with that one. They saw tbe leaders at war with each other on issues which the plntfor m had made distinct,; and unable j to agree on a clear'oat policy of financial reform. We cannot blame tbem for being dis? gusted with such ?el?shuess, indifference to- the public welfare and imbecility of conduct. They bad not bad time to feel the benefits of the tariff change, while they bad experienced all its hardships and had passed through an unexampled financial stringency which nothing was done to relieve. They have elected to make the Repub? lican rather than the Populist party their beneficiary?not that they love a high tariff and a contracted currency, for they repudiated 'hese policies in 1892, but be? cause they deemed the Republican party the safer to vote for. They were not yet ripe for communism. If this defeat shall teach tbe represen? tatives of the Democratic party in office that it is the best policy to keep pledges made in platforms, and shall make Con? gress ana President unite next month in a plan for tbe settlement of the currency question upon liberal lines, it will prove a blessing to the par;y and the country. We earnestly hope that out of de.'eat and disgrace this good may come. Total Taxable Property In the State. The following table shows by counties the correct figures .for the total taxable property?personal, real and railroad?in this State as assessed for taxation for the fiscal year 1893-4? As will be seen tbe figures are a little different from the un corrected figures published last week. The total foots up$178,508,269, an increase of about three million over last year's figures. Here Is tbe table: Abbeville.$ 7,344,916 ' Aiken. 6?187,390 Anderson. 6,499,137 Barn well. 6,626,084 Beaufort. 3,432,582 Berkeley. 5,309,781 Charleston../. 20,686.003 Chester. 3.971,810 Chesterfield. 1,663,370 Clarendon..:. 2,612,040 Colleton. 4,567,334 Darlington. 3,865,365 Edgefield.? 6,682,426 Fairfield. 3,796.828 Florence. 3,397,614 Georgetown. 2,066,490 Greenville. 7,067,455 Hampton. 2,331,464 i Horry. 1,608,859 Kershaw. 2,889,750 Lancaster. 2,099.926 Laurens. 4,813,864 Lexington. 3,546,573 Marion. 4,586,148 Marlboro. 2,690,705 Newberry. 4,836,978 Oconee. 2,658,713 Orangebarg. 6 875,50?

Many cotton mills in tbe South are increasing their capacity and a number of new ones are to be established. The South raises the cotton, and she will man? ufacture most all of it before a great while. ?Many people, whan a little constipat? ed, make tbe mistake of using saline or other drastic purgatives. All that is need? ed is a mild dose of Ayer's Pills to restore tbe regular movement of tbe bowels, and nature will do the rest. They keep tbe system in perfect order. ? A surgeon of the English army has been court-martialled for soliciting a kiss i from a pretty woman to whom be snbse- I qaently apologized. And now comes an I appeal to all those who have ever com- f mit ted a like offence to chip in something | for bis defense. This ought to make up a very large and handsome relief1 fund. I Dr. Pope Trill Contest. Dr. Pope said the night of the election, wbeu the first returns begun to come in indicating that there bad be in fraud prac ti ed in the State election, that be intend? ed to make a full investigation and would pe'baps land some people ia ttie peniten? tiary. He stated emphatically that be in? tended to go before the'Stato board of canvassers ana* contest every inch of the arouud. He now comes to the front strain, howover, with the following address whi :h bears the date of Saturday last: To 'he People of South Carolina: "The little man" who nope-* to be bene? fited by tbe ballot box rohberie* in this state, may Rive out o hi* newspaper pals that I am crazy?bis friends, tbe Rtng sters, m y burii and bang rue in effigy? but all of this add'ng insult to injury will not take the public mind off the fact that In tbe late election in this State the Ring perpetrated tbe most unblushing and gigantic frauds thut have ever been perpetrated in South Carolina, not ex? cepting tbe elections from 1868 to 1876. Not satisfied with driving off hundreds, with having their supervisors to put false numbers and misplaced names on the registration tickets, thereby depriving thousands of voters of their vote; with purposely consuming time in order to leave thousands at the polls at their close who could not vote?five hundred of these at Darlington C. H.?with having in some cases military companies with their arms near tbe polls and ammunition in their pockets; not Biitinfied with all this, tbe ballot boxe? in many instances were rob? bed and stuped. If the robbers can gloat over this, it only shows how low in the scale of humanity they have sunk. I am at work. I have ferreted out a great deal and will continue to work. The evidence against the leaders I nm saving for the United States Senate in? vestigating committee, ?hieb will come after awhile and will open the sealad mouths of a good many persons. With a fair election and count I was elected ; even as it is. I am allowed over twenty thousand votes, unless tbe boards on Tuesday next take these from me. I started with over seven hundred in one of the counties on Wednesday last. By Thursday I had been robbed of five bnn dred of these. How runny I have now I cannot tell. Are the people of South Carolina going to submit quiet y to these things? I a n satisfied that they will,not. It will take work, hon ever, in each coun? ty to unearth the frauds. In a county in the upper p irt of tbe State, I got sixteen votes at one of tbe polls; tbe managers did not count a single one for me; one of them carried the box home with bim Tuesday night unsealed, and sealed it on Wednesday morning. At a poll on the coast twenty-one white men voted for me; I was allowed fifteen vote, by the managers At nearly every poll in the State robberies of this kind have been perpetrated; in some instances more than a hundred votes were taken from a box from me and given to "the little man." Friends of good government, of honest government based upon a fair election, I call upon you to give me all of the aid in this matter that you can ; it is your fight as weil as mine. Remember that a Con? stitutional Convention has been called through fraud of tbe blackest character ; let us join hands and expose this as well as my election and bring the perpetrators to justice. Tu rn your backs upon every man who baa assisted in tbe devilish work; force bim out of society; let bim have for his associates those who have assisted in perpetrating these frauds ; make him to feel that tbe hand of every honest man.is against him?when, you do this you can have some hope for the fu? ture. As for myself, I can stand all of the in? dignities that an infuriated and conscience stricken Riug can heap upon me. I am battling for tbe rights of every honest man in South Carolina. I am after the Ring and intend to keep after them whilst there Is law and justice in the land, and sooner or later I will convict tbem, if not elsewhere, in the minds of an indignant people. I may not get the office, but I will win the fight against the Ring. Sampson Pope. Fifty Pounds of Dynamite, Huntington, Ind., Nov. 9.?A fright? ful explosion oceurred here at 9.30 this morning, and resulted in tbe death of three men and tbe injury of many more. Tbe dead are John Hartman, Norton Eeefer and John Flvnn, all married, j The explosion occurred at the Flint Creek sewer, which crosses the entire oity from northeast to southwest. The contractors are Henry Keefer, of this oity, and Henry S. Hallwood, of Colum? bus, Ohio. The employees were just going to work. Probably 100 men were in and around the ditch in 1st street. Some of them hod built a fire on tbe bt nk and were thawing out a fifty pound box of dynamite. There was a thunder? ous crash and tbe entire city was shaken. Eeefer, Hartman and Flynn were nearest the fire. Hartman was literally torn to pieces. His body was lifted In tbe air three hundred feet and fell on Market street sidewalk, a square away. 'His legs were blown off near tbe hips, both arms torn off, bis head half torn away and tbe body completely disem? bowelled. One of Hartman's feet,was shot through the weather boarding of Frank Wlndley's residence. Keefer was not killed outright. His body dropped into the sewer. After he was taken out he recovered consciousness for a mo? ment, but died on the way home in tbe ambulance. His death was oaused by shock, no bones being broken. Flynn's legs were both broken, bis arms were broken in several places and his bead crushed. He lived several hours. Every house within two squares was damaged. The residence of Marion Wilbur wat totally destroyed. The building was blown to pieces. Mrs. Wilbur wa? in bod and thrown out upon the floor, but escaped without injury. Tlllman-Jrby Slandered, Washington, Nov. 8.?Nearly all of the leading newspaper* In speculating as to tbe political complexion of tbe United States Senate after March 4 next place Senator Irby and Senator-to-be Till man in tbe Populist column. The Baltimore Sun to-day, in taking stock of the politi? cal wreok, says: "The Democrats also lose South Caro? lina which will send Tillman, Populist, to the Senate." Tbe same paper then goes on to say: "The loss of Kansas, New Jersey and South Carolina reduces tbe present Democratic total in tbe Senate from 44 to 41. Tbe reports from West Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky do not yet indicate with certainty that the Legisla? tures will be Democratic, and if there should be changes in any one of them tbe Democratic total in the Senate would be still further reduced. The present Republican strength in tbe Senate of 38 promises to be increased by Senators from New Jersev, Kansas, Montana, Washington and Wyoming, the last three being vacancies in which there is s*ill some doubt as to tbe returns. The Re ?ublicans are likely to lose Nebraska, bis makes a gain of five and a loss of one, or a net gain of four, raising the Re* publican total to 42. The Populist now have three Senators. The returns indi? cate a gain for them in South Carolina and Nebraska, making their total five Senators. Jones and Stewart, of Nevada, have of late affiliated with tbe Populists so that the Populist strength may be increased and the Republican decreased by two." This statement does not agree with Senator Irby's telegram to Senator Faulkner announcing that South Caro? lina will aend a solid Democratic delega? tion to the next Congress. It is in order for Messrs. Irby and Tillman to declare themselves.?Special to News and Cou? rier. -??.< m A Slick Trick. The Greenville News published the fol? lowing story of a scheme used by a liquor dealer to get ahead of the dispensary law and the constables: "Yesterday they went over to West Greenville and searched J. E. Payne's old place, now kept by William Godfrey. They found "signs" a plenty but no li? quor. One of the constables had soiled his hands and went to the wat?r faucet bebind the bar to wash them. Constable Workman turned the cock and the other constable washed his hands and then suddenly discovered, to his amazement, that he was washing them in pure corn whiskey running copiously from tbe faucet. After a long investigation it was found that there was a keg of liquor on top of the house. A pipe from it passed through the roof, down tbe walls, under tbe floor and into tbe end of the water pipe, where it was shut off with a separ? ate cock. Turning one handle would bring pure water, while tbe other would evoke corn juice both from tbe Bame fau? cet. "The liquor and apparatus were confis? cated and Godfrey was arrested. He gave bail." ?"Turn the rascals out"?the famili?r party-cry?may be applied to microbes as well as to men.

Nothing More than Poetic Justice. Editors Intelligencer: The "light in tbe West" seems to have been swal? lowed-, up in unprecedented Republican victory. Democracy has been adminis tered a chastising for dereliction. This overwhelmingdefeat, though humiliating to the true'and faithful representatives of tbe principles of the partv, is nothing more than poetic justice. We have a few William Wilsons lying dead on the field, but arouud such unselfish, sacrificing patriots, whose names are emblazoned upon the scroll of American glory, we find those unfaithful servants who gave nur opponents the bat .Ie. If platforms are to be deserted, and tbe pledges con? tained therein tossed to the winds at tbe first intimation of local interest?if they are designed for drawing cards, rather, than instruments containing the princi? ples and promises of tho party, tbe sooner the masses for whom they are intended come into possession of such intelligence the better for tbe party pursuing this deceptive policy. Tbe stringency of financial conditions with no hope of legislative relief, it is claimed, enters as an excuse for the Re? publican victory. It matters very little where the causes for this signal revolu? tion are found if the party so completely whipped cannot master the situation. They should gather political sagacity trom a fair and impartial diagnosis of the cue to at least restore themselves to a respectable position before tbe country in the next election. Adversity and disappointment is noth? ing new to Democracy? she has stood four years of the bloodiests war the world nas ever known?but when those com? missioned with her life and fortune stub? bornly refuse to withhold the Brutus dag? ger, bringing such disaster and ruin as was evidenced by the recent returns, it is a reverse without excuse and those res* ponsible should be relegated to the rear and forever buried in the political abyss of oblivion The plurality majorities show the desertion sustained by tbe Democratic party because of its faithless servants The object of this article, however, is not to assign reasons for the treat landsideof Republicanism on last Tuesday, but to touch upon the possible influence of Democratic defeats in the South. In 1892 the National Democratic party won a magnificent victory?gaining con? trol of every department of the govern? ment from President down. We have had two years of Democratic administra? tion since that time. Daring this inte? rim a great change has taken place in the political situation. On last Tuesday we saw tbe grand Democratic majority of 192 turned over to the Republican ticket with an increased plurality. We saw some of tbe 'Old Guard" fall in line and forsake tbe Solid South?with marked dissatisfaction written upon the face of others all along the line from the Star State to "My Maryland." We ?iee our sister State?North Carolina?in the pos sissi'in of Fusionist?Tennessee scarred and worn and divided, and Texas with her mixed delegation l.n Congress. We remember the three hcmdred that swore vengeance against the administration be? cause tbey felt their sugar interest decline by virtue of national legislation. We see the Democracy of Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina almost hopelessly divided. In the face of this tidal wave of dissatisfaction and unrest we have a Democratic President with his hands tied?unable to give that legislation so loudly called for and for which be will be unjustly held responsible. Out of this muddle the negro will likely attain a prominence in , politic? not at all dealred by tbe better element of whites in the South. The fact that the negro has always allied himself with tbe Republi? can party has been tbe greatest incentive in keeping Southern Democracy a unit The color line seems to be losing its force, and once it has been oast aside the Republicans will be successful in the establishment of a reupectable parly in the South. Present indications promise quite a different condition of things, and without the services of pure, honest and able men to direct the "old ship of State" through this new order there will be bit? terness and trouble without end. The South has always stood amid the storms of adversity with enduring gallantry, her long suffering and endurance under the pressure of wrong and injustice has won for her a sweet admiration, but there are other battles to be woa that will again test those virtues of Southern gen? eralship, and when thB fight is on "give us Bluoher or give us night." Conservative. ? The emperor of C hina has had two astronomers put to death for getting drunk on the night of an eclipse. ? A correspondent of the Chicago Re? cord has this interesting item about Sen? ator David Bennett Hill: "It is not gen? erally known that Senator Hill has risen from humble origin, and that be was the original train boy on the New York Central Railroad?the first urchin, I be? lieve, that ever sold newspapers, cigars aud chewing gum on the railroad cars In this State. He secured the privilege from Dean Richmond, then manager of the section of what is now the New York Ceotral system between Syracuse and Rochester, and finally operated the whole line between Buffalo and Albany, having a number of other boys to assist him. He might have been s millionaire also had be not gone baok to school when he was 17 years old, with an ambition to study law and allowed himself to drift into politics as soon as he was admitted to the bar," Now try This.
