Col, Dargan quits the race for Senator and will devote himself to educational work. Old man Grover has been trotted out again to say he is a Democrat. The country does not need his brand of Democracy. The first judicial act of Judge De Vore was to grant bail to a negro who had killed another negro. This is a bad start for. the new judge. Senator Tillman's speech on the methods of Roosevelt will have wido circulation as a campaign document. It should be read by Democrats and studied by Assistant Republi cans. The Augusta Chronicle says "it is now said that ninety per cent of the Democrats in Congress are against Mr. Bryan." This sounds Eke one ?f the New York World's yarns. _ The Charleston Post thinks "that South Carolina will send to Denver an uninstructed delegation which will vote as a unit >!or Bryan on the first and only ballot taken in the con vention. A Kansas minister says he would rather diink a bottle of red ink than a bottle of beer. No doubt he is right. We have heard that they sell terrible stuff in prohibition Kansas for beer._ Onb hears a great deal about this | time as to the cost of the Easter bon nets of the ladies, but the sweet creat ures just can't get along without them, and the horrid men will just have to grin and bear it. The Greenville News says Grover j Cleveland is the greatest citizen of j the land. Will our esteemed cotem porary name just one .really great thing that its greatest citizen has done during his long life of seventy one years? "What is thir we hear?" exclaims the Augusta Chronicle. "Democrat ic congressmen to force a prohibi-1 tion plank into the national party platform!'' You can hear most any thing these days, but that does not | make it true. The presidential boomlet of Fair childs got quite a jolt in Indianna j recently. His private secretary was \ defeated for a congressional nomina tion on the seventh hundredth ballot in the Eleventh District Republican Convention of that State. A Republican Senator recently) made the statement that the corri dors of the capital at Washington are infected with slick anr! slimy individuals. We have no doubt but this is true, and the only way to get rid of them is to turn the rascals out. _ Senator Tillman's speech on Pres ident Roosevelt and his methods, extracts of which we published on Friday, as an oratorical effort will rank with Cicero's oration against Cataline and Phillippics of Demos thenes. The Washington Post and other papers says it was a great speech and was heard by a full Sen ate and packed galleries. It is said that Attorney-General Lyon, after serving his second term in his present office, expects to suc ceed Gov. Ansel, and, after serving two years as Governor, expects to run against Senator Till man a:id de feat him. The young man has some political ambition sure enough, but when he bucks B <n Ti1'mad he will have it all knockM our. .' nim. The News and Corn ier s ys it be lieves that the people of South Car o'fna (\o nit wisn Mr. Bryan nomi nated at Leaver, and is confident that a dek'Aratiun could be elected who would not vote for his nomina t n. If The News and Courier really believes this it must be su premely happy, because the w'U of, the people will be recorded when ,: the Democratic State Convention. Politicians and Newspapers. After "cussing" out the Demo cratic members of Congress as po litical cowards and sneaks The News and. Courier pays its respect to some politicians and newspapers in South Carolina. "In South Car olina" says The News and Courier, I "we have politicians and newspapers who despise and condemn Mr. Bry an with an intensity not rivalled by The News and Courier (for The News and Courier at least admires Mr. Bryan as a person of good mor als and intentions,) who months ago, pef ore the struggle in this State had begun, ran away from all endeavors to prevent his capture of the South Carolina delegation. Reason is plen tiful to ground the opinion that the Governor, half the Congresional delegation and a majority of the State's newspapers are opposed to the election of a delegation in favor of Mr. Bryan's nomination, but the opposition of some of them is of pale, white-livered and tremulous description that counts for naught in a contest." Wonder how the "Governor, half the Congressional delegation and a majority of the State's newspapers" relish this ter rible arraignment of their political sincerity. May be the "Governor, half the Congressional delegation and a majority of the State's news papers" have heard from the peo ple since they expressed themselves, and finding that the people are al most unanimously for Bryan, and feeling that it was useless to oppose their wishes, have fallen in line like sensible people ought to do and will help carry out the popular will. "Not Follow the Crowd." The News and Cyurier proposes to fight Bryan to the last ditch. It says: "But we confess if the oppos ers of Mr. Bryan must raise a white flag before hostilities commence be cause their inclination is to view the battle from afar, there is little inducement to persevere. Yet we do persevere. We concede nothing. We are hopeful that an uninstructed delegation composed of men of open minds may be sent to Denver from South Carolina, and so we urge that Charleston, a soundly Democratic community, aware of the reasons that support its faith, send to the State Convention in Columbia dele gates canable of expounding Dem ocracy, and who will not halt to in quire how the battle goes until it is over. This community has no sym pathy with the Bryan vagaries, and it should keep its record straight? not 'follow the crowd.' " The New6 and Courier is very wrong. The leaders of Charleston may have no sympathy for Bryan, but there are plenty of good true Democrats in Charleston who are anxious for the nomination and election of Bryan. Charleston has tried the experiment, "not follow the crowd" once already to her cost when many of the so-call ed Democrats down there voted for McKinley, the Republican, in pre ference to Bryan, the Democrat, and we had hoped she was done with such foolisness. But some people learn slowly. National Committeeman The News and Courier concedes the untruth but doubts the "absur dity" of the story from Washington that the State convention is to be packed, Senator Tillman ousted as national committeeman, and Col. J. C. Haskell elected. It wishes to know if Tillman is never going to turn loose a job, and names a number of persons that it considers capable of holding down the office of nation al committeeman. The "absurd" part of the yarn, as The State saw it, was the suggestion of a secret effort to reestablish factional lines. It is quite true that there are sev eral persons in South Carolina that could discharge the lady-like duties of the office of national committee man with universal satisfaction, al though we do not endorse all those our contemporary suggests, but it is also true that Senator Tillman is the most conspicuous representative of the party that South Carolina has, and that however he may have blundered in dealing with South Car olina matters, he has generally ac-1 ceptably represented the spirit of the rank and file of the people in nation al political affairs. He has, in fact, the highest claim to the job.?Col umbia State. Every paper in the United States, lfce the New York World and New York Sun, which are defenders of special privileges and trusts, are op posed to Bryan. There are a few such papers in the South and they too oppose Mr. Bryan. This shows plainly who the people should choose for President. The after effects of the panic is becoming more disasterous to Re publican -osperity, although the sacrod tana is still suppo: ?d to) guarantee good times according to the IdTt Republican national piat form.
