THE MANNING TE. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, April 2,1890. THE FARIERS' CONVENTION. The much talked of Farmers' Con vention has been held, and B. RL Til man has been named, suggested, or nominated for governor, and J. C. Coit for lieutenant governor. We publish on our first page the proceed ings of the convention as given by the Greenville New, and on this page we publish editorial comments from the leading daily papers, thus giving our readers an opportunity of forming their own opinions. W. J. Talbert, State senator from Edgefield, was elected chairman of the convention. G. W. Shell, president of the State Farmers'A ssociation, and J. L. M. Irby, both of Laurens, appear to have been the moving spirits on the floor, both being in favor of nomina tions, and both in favor of Tillman for governor. Mr. J. . Tindal, of this county, was prominently spoken of for lieutenant governor, but both he and his friends were opposed to his accepting the position and prevented his name being brought before the convention. J. B. Tindal and D. W. Brailsford favored and voted for nominations, and C. S. Land, D. J. Bradham, J. E. Davis, and J. S. Evans were opposed to and voted against nominations. President Talbert in- his rulings was very arbitrary and dictatorial, at tempting to and succeeding in fore ing his designs upon the convention. It is very evident that a majority of the delegates were opposed to nomi nations, but by his unparliamentary rulings, and with the assistance of his active coadjutors, Shell and Irby, he succeeded in getting a sufficient num ber of weak-kneed delegates to change their votes, so as to declare in favor of nominations. His course as a pre siding officer is strongly condemned. But when the convention did finally - declare for nominations, the conven tion as a body acquiesced in the will be majority, and nominated Till man with regular Democratic enthu Siasm. Tillman is not our favorite for gov ernor, but, as we have before said, we blieve that he would make a good governor, and that if elected his rec ord as governor will compare favora bly with other governors. He is a good, strong, uncompromising Denm ocrat, a man of fine parts, and would we believe make a fair average gov -' But what does thliB noiriaion mean ? Does it insure Tillman's elec tion ? We do not so regard it. The convention has pledged itself to abide the decision of the Democratic con - vention; and to insure his election he Smust receive the endorsement of the Democratic convention. To elect bim, -the work must be done properly. -Clubs must elect Tillman delegates to the county conventions; county con ventions must elect Tillman delegates ' to the State convention; and the State convention must nominate Tillinan. the March convention could do noth ing more than suggest, and did do nothing more, and it is pledged to abide the result of the Democratic -State convention. But will they do it, -is the question we hear asked by the ~'opposition. Of course they will. Till 2nan and the other leaders are all Democrats, and while they will make >a strong fight, and we believe will succeed in their fight, yet should de feat~ blast their hopes, they will like true Democrats yield to the majority; and that is what they ask of their op ponents. We do not believe in this talk of a split in the party, nor do we propose to question the motives actuating the leaders. Probably they are sincere and honest in their demands for re Sform; possibly it is only a desire to get .-the "ins" out, and give the "outs" a chance at public pap. The simple question with us is, What is the will of the majority ? If a majority say Till man, theni let Tillmnan, be the man.. The leaders of the ma jority may in either case have ofile as the foundation for their zeal, but should a change be made, and should "the farmers" get in power, we do not anticipate any trouble. As we said above we are not spec ially in favor of Tillmnan for governor, and really would prefer seeing such a the way, we see that some one, in to - day's Ne~ and Courier, has nomi nated Col. Earle for governor), and we think Earle would give more gn era] satisfaction than Tillman, yet Tillman would, as we stated above, make a fair average governor. To sum up, the convention has been held; nominations have by a very small majority been made; T]illman is the nominee; and we do not believe any harm to the Democratic party or to the best interests of the State will result. The census enumerators will be around during the comning summer, sys an exchange, and will be likely to meet with individuals who will be averse to giving the information re quired by the census laws. It may be well for such people to know that they are liable to a fine of $30 for refusing to answer the questions which it is the duty of the enumerator to- put to them. The head of the family is the proper person to give this informa tion, and the law provides that in the absence of the head of the family or any of its adult member", "any agent of the family shall supply the required information." Don't sign the petition to congress requesting the passage o{ the com pound lard bill. It is a blow aimed at the Southern cotton grower and for the benefit of the Northern manufac turers "Wanting Office all 'he Time." Capt. Tillman struck the nail squarely on the head last night when, in accepting his nomination for Governor, he said: ".\Men, plenty of them, will preach from thehouse tops and say, 'There. I told you so: he has been wanting office all the time !"' How can Capt. Tillman exlpect plenty of inca to say or believe anything else in view of his own con fession which he made in his address to the convention last night ? "If you ask me to lead this tight," said Capt. Tilmuan, "yon call upon me to lead ai forlorn hope, but you will have at your head the ndq ma who has the brain and the nerve and the ability to organize the comnion peo plc against the aristocracy.'' "You have adopted a platform," continued Capt. Till man; "what is the use of putting out a plat toiu unless vou put a wan before the peo ple who knows it, endorses it, has slept over it, and can explain it to the people andti ght for it an-1 give it lite and force." Of course, men, plenty oi them, will preach from the housetops and say: "There, Itold you so; lie has been wanting office all the time !" What else can they Fav ? What would Capt. Tilhlan s-ty? Behold ! the reform movement has degenerated into a Tillman scramble for office. For Nominations. (Charleston Wiorld.] So the convention decided for nomina tions, and we catinot say that we are in the least surprised, for it was the most natural course which it could have adopted. Had not such a determined attack been made upon this section of the Democracy; had the motives of the leaders been lesb virulently assailed, it is quite possible that the result 'high' ave been different, for men can often be induced and persuaded into the abandonment of their ideas for the sake of harmonizing differences with their friends, but bullying methods when resorted to in dealing with the indepe.ndent manhood of this State and country, only results in w.ld ing them into a compact and deter:nined mass. The nominees of the March convention have the advantage of being first in the field, and they will stand or fall upon their merits. Their friends should, therefore, rally to their support, and knowing now exactly what del egates to choose, see to it that from every county delegates representing their views attend the regular convention. Opposed to them they have, it is true, the organized forces of the regular Democracy, but it will be a fair, square fight within the party, aad we think that the nominees of the March convention will be the nominees of the party. Whatever else may be said about the plat form of the March convention, it cannot be ridiculed, for it represe-its the expressions of opinion of men who are thoroughly in earnest, and who have ptositive ideas of re form. Whether we agree, therefore, with all of the planks, or no, we must remember that we all, as Democrats, have an invitation in it, to show up its defects where we find them, to the people, and that this can best be done by temperately worded argument. They Want Office. (Colmba Rajister.] President Shell Limself tells us, "the Ex ecutive Committee of the Farmers' Associa tion, composed of one from each county," calls this convention, which he tells us "is a convention of those who sympathize with the views and purposes set forth in the ad dress of the Executive Committee, and if there be any delegates here who are opposed to the Farmers' Movement or the reforms demanded by it, they are here either under misapprehension or they have conie as ob structionists or marplots," and then it was very plainly intimated that the convention should not allow such delegates to sit as, members of the body. It is not enough that these delegates are members of the Farmers' Association, they must toe the mark that has been laid down for them, or be set aside. Here isautocracy with a vengeance. It is not enough that such a deleg~ate has been s:nt here as a Dm ocrat, as a farmer, as a go)od citizer ie is told: You must do its we cahdgeTr~to do or stand aside. And vet these are the ve--y men, as Farmer Shell tells us w de trying to "redeem the Sta* n'fi rm'~ e, and moke the Demo crtcprycarry out its pledges to the peo ple. The arenot acting outside of the par ty, not they. They are not dictating to the IDemocratic party, not they. They are men of a splendid record, they are all patriots, as are not others, and they come here to stop this "favoritism in dispensing the ofiices," to check that policy by which "a man must belong to a certain 'set' before he can expect to gain preferment." They have come to put a stop to that condition of things, as Presi dent Shell expresses it, when "men once elected to offdee are kept there, often to the public injury, provided their social and famn lily relations are aristocratic." It does not matter, of course, if Farmer Shell himself has held office for six years. 'le has been the choice of the people. Hie iis a favorte, it is true, according to his own showing; but he is no aristocrat, not he. Hie has deserved the office, and the people have said so. Other men, however, who like him have continued to enjoy popular confidence, must come to taw. The Shell Executive Commit tee have said so, and if any delegates of the people come here to say anything for these favorites, and aristocrats, and these legisla tors, who have "created a suspicion of sin ister influiences" in the min ds of President Shell and his reformers, they must stand aside, that's all. They are not going to put up with this sort of thing any longer. They are not to "be cajoled o? intimidated" any longer. "They have got it," as the so-called "ring" think, and President Shell says to his con freres, "in nll earnestness": "If we have got it, let us keep it, and when the Demo cratic Convention meets next August we. will give these gentlemen a rest.' T1hat's the milk in the cocoanut, is it ? They have not come here to dictate to the Democratic par ty, not they. Trhey' just want to 'give these gentlemen a rest" and wialk in and hang up their own hats. TIhey have been forcedi to (d0 this thing against their owna tender na tures. When they "give these gentlemen a rest" and come in theiselv,-s, it does not matter then how long those uof i'el shall stay in. T1hat will he all rght. They will come in as the faivorites of the peole and stay in as such. Th'iey won't chiimny "ar istocratic fanmily rehations," not they. They: will only' continue to stay in unt'l some new baud of reformners comes in and gives them art.Tillmnan for Governor. Capt. She-li's convention nominated Capt. Trilimian for G~overnor. It was camlledh for this purpose and this purpose only. It would have been remarkable if the convention had done otherwi~se. It will be still more re marimble if the Democratic party of South Carolina does not repudate the action of the cot and dried caucus which met at Columbilia yesterday. Capt. Shell's convention did not represent anybody or anything but the Edgeiield ag itator and the p'eculiai views which lie holas.I It was held for the purpose of '-booming" Capt. Tillinan for Governor. It was through his inilnence and for his personal promotion that the convention was called. The convention was a convention of a faction of the party. It (lid not represent thej; peop~le of the State. It was held and' engineered in the interest of the self-ap pointed leader of politicad malcontents. At least seven of the c'outieis in the State wvere not represetnted in the convention. A major ity of the delegates were selected by a very small minority of the people of their respee tive counties. The convention wats not in any true sense of the term a represenitattiveC body, nor should its work have any effect i controlhing the action of the Democratie, party. Inideed, the Demiocratic State Con vention cdanot recognize the work thatwa done in Columbia yesterday without sel. stulti~titon, the call foi' Capt. Shell's con vention havming expressly stated that its ob ject was to "purify and reform the Demio eratic paity," not by working within thel paity, but by organizing an independent mov emenit subject to "ratification or rejec tion by the~ next Democratic State Coreven tion. The. blow aimed at the Democratic party will iebound upon those who have plo'tted agairst the party, not fori the benit of tuheam, but, as tie~ result eleatly shows, Ior the political pro':aotion of a single indi vidual. It was not a Democratic Convention, be cause it is well known that delegates were sent to Colunibia who have openly affiliated that sene men sat in the convention who have voted the regular Republican ticket. But, after all, it is well that the cony tion was held. It will serve to pirify the politi cal atiosphere. It will Show the Dinjoerats of the State who are the l)liticials L tile back of this movement a:d where they stanl. It will unitv the Demxiocrats :. they could not have been umited in any oth.-r way. it will colpel tl next Ik.mocratie State Convention to nominate a full State ticket without regard to the candidates pro po.sed to be foisted on the party. The ln:0ty is stronger than any personal faction or it ought to go to pieces. HOUSEHOLD NOTES. MIS S. A. NETTLES. We have noticed several articles of late on the subject of sitting room1S and the parlors of the iniddle class, the writers urging that the children should have free access to the parlor, bringing their toys and books with them. "Then indeed will you have a best room worthy the nmne, and for children and father as well as the stranger within your gates." That sounds weli, but in the pres ent state of domestic economy, em phatically it cannot be done. The great majority of women are depend eut for household work on very inef ficient servants, or often on their own hands, and this witth little children clinging to a mother's skirts precludes the delightful possibility of always "taking the new comer into one's home life" as some have put the par lor question. For the housewife, I verily believe there are many tired mothers who find comforts like to that in a religious belief, in the conscious ness when the sharp clang of the door bell strikes in upon her and her noisy brood, that there is one spot in the house fit for whosoever may enter, be he book agent or clergyman going his rounds, and free from chairs harness ed together, headless dolls, and mo lasses candy-ready, always ready. Not long ago I noticed sonewhere directions how to make very pretty mats of white cotton wadding. Cut a piece of the wadding the size you desire the mat to be, and then cut a strip about two or three inches wide and edge with colored zephyr, pink or green I think would look best. Plait this in trippie box-plaits aloundl the mat. This is certainly a very simple way of making mats, and I think very pretty when finished. Onions are much nicer if boiled in milk; if water is used for boiling them it should be changed when they are half-cooked. Boil until tender, and serve whole, seasoning with butter, salt, and pepper. How To CooK BEF Livrr.--t it in thin slices, pour over them boiling water, let stand for an instant, then drain off; have ready some fiuely roll ed bread or cracker crumnbs, dip the slices in these, then fry in hot fat, beef drippings, lard or butter. Place the s'ices in the hot fat, seasoning with pepper and salt to taste, put on the cover, and let cock slowly, turning once, until both sides are dark-brown and the liver tender, which will be in about three-fourths of an liour. WmnrE~ Lus~ PEN WPER-Cut. of dark .greeir iafaimFftve leaves, about two and one-half inches wide art the top, arid sloped gradually toward the bot tomn. Work a few veins in crewel worlk with green a little lighter than the cloth. Tack the five leaves on to a circle of cloth, so that they sit r'ound it leaving a small circle in tire centre. Cut five petals of white silk, satin, or canton flannel, about two inches long, rounded at the top and plaited at thec bottom, so that they will fall much in the shape of a petal. Tack these on to the cloth, leaves all meeting in the small space left in the centre, which should then be concealed with a small piece of yellow silk puckered u13. Cir cles of difterent colored flannel or of black are sewed underneath to wipe the pen with. ____ Justice Aga.in1 Disgraced. RALrmor. N. C., March 20.-The second trial of Father Boyle., the Catholic priest3 entded to-night in his acquittal. Ju'he McCrae instructed the jury that they couidl bring in a verdict of guilty of rape, or as sault with intent to commit rape: but a ver diet of not guilty was reached at 11.-15 to night. Boyle was at once aischarged. Hie has beeni in jail hero for ten muonths. Peculiar To itself in many important particulars, Hood's Sarsaparilia Is different from and superior to any other medicine. Peculiar in combination, proportion and prep aration of ingredients, Hood's Sarsaparilla pos sesses the full curative value of the best known remedies of the vegetable kingdom. Peculiar in Its medicinal merit, Hood's Sarsapa rilla accomplishes cures hitherto unknown. Peculiar in strength and economy-Hood's Sar saparilla is the only medicine of which can truly be said," 100 doses one dollar." Medicines in larger and smaller bottles require larger doses, and do not produce as good results as Hood's Sarsaparl11a. Peculiar In its "good namo at home "- there is more of Hood's Sarsaparilla soldin Lowell, where it is made, than of all other blood purifiers.
