NEXT WEEK.
We are crowded out again this
week, to our regret. We will, how
ever, next week pay our respects to
teb intolerant persecution of our Anti
aiondsin reference to church matters.
Wshall, also, likewise, devote a small
amount of space to the wanton mis
statements made by the News and
Courier about our campaign meeting,
y in its headlines. The
nn World gave a true but im
pereot acoount of the meeting. In
eparting the speeches the News and
Courier reports fairly, but in express
ing opin s and in descriptions it
largely deals in imaginative fiction.

OLY FOUR OUT OF TEN.
The Sumter county convention met
last Thursday. It was evident that
the Tiaman delegates were in a clear
=so* over both Earle and Bratton
delegates and in consequence one of
the stormiest meetings ever known in
Sumter was held. The Earle and
Bstion dt determined not to
be comr y undone, asked for a
owmpromm' as the two sides were
y ally divided, and the Till
a - delgates gracefully and magnan
Incy yielded. Five Tillman and
five Anti-Tillnan delegates were then
elected. Of these five Anti delegates
foer were for Earle and ofie for Brat
to. It is thought that had not this
omapromise been effected, there would
have been a serious row with proba
ble les of life. The whole thing
nust have been in a fearfully turbu
lent state. The convention was not
even organized, and immediately after
the were selected the con
vention was adjourned, without at
Iding to other important business.
These delegates Pre elected for the
August convention only, and the fight
for the September convention w1
probably beas hot as this, unless it
should happen that by that time the
Antis get a majority. yf the Anti
shond-hasve a recognized majority,
the Tillmanite will of course yield,
and there will then probably be a1
quiet meeting.

CONSERVATIVE CLARENDON.
NO BOGUS DEMOCRACY IN
CLARENDON COUNTY.
A Large and Enthusiastic Tihiman Meet
ing in Manning, Which Is Pronounced
the Most Orderly Campaign Meeting of
the State-Roughs and Ruffianism Not
Indigenous to Clarendon Soil.
The long expected July 26th came
at last, and with it the largest crowd
that probably ever gathered in Man
ning at one time. A heavy rain the
day before laid the dust and made
everything pleasant. Col. Earle and
his wife came in :om Sumter the
night before and stopped at the Cen
tral hotel. Mr. James E. Tindal, al
so, came in the afternoon before, and
stopped at the Benbow house. Capt.
Tiilman, Gen. Bratton, and the other
speakers came in on the morning's
train, and were taken to the Central
hotel, except Capt. Tillman and Col.
Pope, who were the invited guests of
M. Clinton Galluchat, Esq.
ATI MOTTo.s.
The speakers' stand had been erect
ed in the southwest part of the court
house square, and early Saturday
morning the Antis began putting up
their mottoes, such as "Bratton in
War and Bratton in Peace," "Hamp
ton '76 Democracy Good Enough,"
etc., more than a dozen being placed
on and near the stand. A large ban
ner in honor of Gen. Earle especially,
reaching across the street, was placed
near Solicitor John S. Wilson's resi
dence, and later in the day was sus
pended between Levi's and Loyns's
stores. One of the prettiest mottoes
was a shield made of ferns, which
was arr-anged in the shape of a pal
metto tree and surmounted by the
words Eer!le and Bratton. A fighting
cock was woven on one side of a silk
banner, on the reverse side of which
was the name Joseph H. Earle. An
other motto in the shape of a banner
was hung in front of the speakers'
stand early in the morning, but it
raised such a howl of indignation
from the Tillman men and of condem
nation from the Antis, that in a short
time the sheriff, by direction of Coun
ty Chairman Davis, pulled the offen
sive thing down. This insulting mot
to had on one side, "Mahone started
out a Democrat," and on the other,
"Down with the Great Bamboozler."
Had not this been taken down, the
crowd would in a short time have at
least pulled it down and trampled it
in the dust.
The Antis had no club banners,
while the Tillmanites had all club i
banners, there being one from each i
Af the following clubs: Cross Roads,
3ilver, Summerton, Panola, Manning
Fr-'mers' Platform, and Midway. i
Each of these banners was for Till- i
nan end reform.
BADG~ .
Fully he'* of the people wore
:adges. Many of them had been got
en at other campaign meetings, andi
f50 were printed at the MANiJG 1
E s office. We piinted 500 for Till-'
nan, 200 for Earle, and 5>0 for Brat
on. The badges printed at the t
Ei's office were much complimented 1
is the prettiest seen in the entire
:ampaign. The Talman badges were
listributed from our office, which was
he most popular place in town. A
~rowd was in 2ront of it for hours.
he MAnse Tim- ' is certainly the
nost popular paper ever printed in
3arendon County.
-rBE PEOCuSSION.
By nine o'clock about five hundred '
>ersens were at the depot to meet the
andidates, and at least nine tenths t
>f them were for the reform move- is
nent. As Capt. Tillmnan got off the
rain the crowd gave three cheers for 1
111man, in their regular old rebel
tyle. When the candidates got into L
he carriages the party divided, the a
'ilman faction coming up the new '
ilroad street, and Col Earle and r1
en. Bratton going around the old e
treet. Almost the entire crowd, Il
owever, fell into line after the Till- '
"
nan procession, while a few boys 2
iearing a baviner, "No Bolters at the e
law Mill," followed the other side, a
ith an occasiona1 weak cheer. About t~
ifteen or twenty ladies were at the
N'esbyterian chprch to see Col. Etrle p
ass by. An Earle banner was sus- d
ended ."om the lamp in --ont of the 0:
esbyterian church.
BET cAYP; -GN M9?TANG Lar. ii
No one had worked ha-der for
ood order on this day than the Ma- b
ING L.29, both publicly and privately,
d no one was more gratified than b
re were to heer en? the campaign par
y speak of this meeting, as, all things it
onidered, the most orderly of the as
rtire campaign. The News and Cou
ar and a few others had made des
erate efforts to have this a rowdy I
aeeting, but thanks to the good sense sa
I most of the leading men in this d4
anty on both sides, and of the rank io
nd fle, there was no disturbance D
uring the entire day. One man, an h4
ti k'om Foreston, wasla little too IV
eep in his cups, and becoming bois- i
~rous was gently remonstrated with T
y a Ti'lmarite and quieted, but be- er
i'ning another little racket ner" -- e a
ti and disturbing him, the Ansti at a
ace called an Anti policeman, andp
ad him arrested, but as the Anti dis-. ca
irber promised to be quiet, he was o~
med loose. This same party that in
ght got into a serious trouble in of
oreston. Praise is due to the whole ce
mnty for this model meeting. Clar- ch
adon hes, shown that her citizens are
t roughs, even though so character

se Sumter to pattera a',,er us in be
iteme"'y conduct. Y~
There were about a hu'ndred ladies ti
and nert the grounds, and we sup- all
se they were about equal'y divided P~
tween the two candidates. There ,s
~re probably one hundred and fifty w
'groes present, about twelve of whom th4
~re Democrats, about equally divid- co
between Earle and T'lma.
OnDER. ruj
he meeting was called to order about tru
f past ten o'clock by County Chairman ele
nes E. Davis, who requested Rev. James che
:Dowell to open the exercises with prayer. tha
mediately the audience beerne silent, ma
: reverently listened to the devout im- mio
rations for divine benedictions. At the rec
se of the prayer, Mr. McDowell exhorted ren
people to have a quiet and orderly meet- chai
.one that would not bring contempt and kel
honor to the fair name of our county. no
.Davis then asked the crowd to respect. seel
y listes to each speaker, not to interfere eve
i questions, and to remembe; thet each the;
tker was a guest of the county, to be vot<
that he would certainly quell any disturb
ance by having offenders promptly arrested.
He asserted chat no purer Democracy exist
ed in the State than in Clarendon, and that
our county contained no boogn Democrats.
He introduced G" Bcrairatton as the first
snener~:.
GENERAL BRrTTON
was received with moderate applause. He
appeared to be somewhat indisposed, and
spoke for only a short while. The News
and Courier has this to say of his speech:
"Gen. Bratton, as in his previous speeches,
attributed the cause of depression in South
Carolina, if such existed, not to State legis.
lation, but to the Federal authorities. If
there be any cause for complaint look not
to Columbia but to Washington. The full
est and fairest consideration has been sho'wr
the farmers by the State legislators and of
ficials. We could not have asked for any
thing more. The political excitement of to
day is not attributable to the corruption o
any of our legislators, but entirely to a
spirit of personal and partisan gain, which
can never be of any good. Such a spirit is
a departure from our Democratic rules. I1
is what may properly be termed a political
trust, in which certain agitators are to be
rewarded with office. The organization of
this party, he said, was based upon a con
flict between the numerically strongest class
and the minority. Such things have beer
seen in South Carolina before, and too wel
do we remember it. For who of you does
not remember the days when this fair State
was under the rule of the Republicans ani
their bayonets? We, as Anglo-Saxons
united our strength and regained our liber
ties,. which, I am thankful to say, we have
maintained since the day of our liberatior
from Republican thraldom. We then de
feated a perverted government and in its
place enjoy a pure and honest government
We must steer our ship of State clear of its
impending danger, or we will be wrecked.
"Yes, men of Clarendon. do you want t<
know the cause of your trouble? [Voices
'Tell us all about it.'] Well, it is the Fed
eral Legislature, which is g.owing more and
more iniquitous every day. Not only are
they burdening us with an outrageous tax,
but now they propose to bind us with even
more violent Ia--s. While these federal
dangers are threatening us we have a repe
tition of the ideas and methods adopted by
these Radicals to secure posession of our
grand old State. The appeal now is to those
of our own fesh and blood, and when this
is done we aze in greeter danger than if the
negro majority were appe-le to. A divis
ion caused by such dissension within the
ranks of our own party would be undoubted
political suicide. We should look very
carefully and see if we are not placing our
organization beyond our control. The ma
terial is at hand and the temptation is of
fered for sejious trouble. Bewaie that it is
not used! If we p,.rt from our reliance in
the bonds of principle that bind us together
and rely on these combinations we will be
cut up into bands of civilized savages, the
strongest to take all while he has the power,
which is to be taken away from him as soon
as another clique has grown stronger. Such
a state of affairs will result in a battle among
our own people for supremacy, which will
be gained by the strongest. I beg of you to
be cautious of your action and not to act
iastily."
At the close of his address he received
iome applause and a number of handsome
bouquets. The crowd now began calling for
'illman, but Mr. Davis introduced
COLONEL Pun.E.
As Col. Earle arose he received a large
;hare of applause from his supporters, a
aumber of Tillman men, through courtesy
o one for whom all Clarendon has a high
espect, joining in. But as the applause
:ontinued for some time, counter cheers for
'illman could be heard, and for a moment
t looked as if the conduct of so-me of the
'ormer meetings would be repeated. Almost
nqtantly, however, both side-, seemed t-)
-ealize the responsibility resting on Claren
Ion for an orderly meeting, and the cheer
ng ceased. We again quote from the News
.nid Courier:
"Col. Earle, with trub chivalry, addressed
tis first remarks to the ladies of Clarendon.
Iis kind but deserved words were greeted
>y the la~'ies, who were in the carriages,
Lot by hurrahs, but by their smiles of en
ouragement.
"Addressing himself to the discussion of
he day, Col. Earle said: I was sorry that
efore I came to Clarendon I had heard
ertain repor ts. I heard that I should not
peak in Clarendon county. I don't believe
bat the men of Clarendon county could
ave said or meant such a thing. [Voices:
l'hey couldn't do it. Hurrah for Earle !'] If
was said it was not said by a brave man,
aid a coward could not do it. [Deafening
pplause for Earle.]
"You men of Clarendon know me. Many
f you know me in person, and others by
eputation. You know that whatever I say
rmes from my heart, and I mean every
'ord regardless of the consequences. I am
ere to-day as a Democrat, one who has
uiith in the integrity of the Democratic par
r', and one who is here to meet those who
ave made charges against the government
'hich they cannot prove. In South Caro.
na we have a Democratic government,
hich is synonymous with a white govern
kent. When we remember that we were
uxed by corrupt men for corrupt purposes
ud are now recovering from that misrule,
pains me to> see one who fought with usu
ow charging us with corruption and mis
2le. Especially painful is it when these
iarges are made and they cannot be proven.
is not the rank and file of the Democracy
hich is denounced, it is its representative-s1
rid leaders. Tillman has said more unjust
uings of you than either Scott or Moses, or
ren Whittemore. If these charges are
uade by a man, is it other than right that
uey should be proven ? I can safely say
iat no Republican has ever said more bit
*r or violent things against the Democratic1
arty than Capt. Tillman. Col. Earle theni
iscussed the false arraignment of the Dem
:racy made by Capt. Tillman and conclu
vely showed their fallacy. If I believed
uese charges true I would be ashamed to be
the Democratic party. [Applause for 2
illman and counter applause for Earle.]
"For a few moments there was considera
Le confusion.
"Col. Earle continued t y dissect the ram
ing talk of Tillmnan as to political leprosy,
leged corruption and political perjury.
".T, as Capt. Tillman says, the Democrat
legislators can be bribed with $25,000, we
e indeed in a pitiable condition, and it ]
Duld be almost preferable to have the Re
iblicans return to power, for then we[
auld know what to expect.
"Capt. Tillman and his committee have e
id that your Representatives have been(
~bauched. Is that proper talk for a Dem- 1
'rat? Is it right ? Is it just ? J there is
ue man here who can possibly charge the a
emocratic party with corruption or dis- t
mnesty I dare him to raise his hands. Time r
s given for a response, but it was not I
rthcoming. None of you dare make a s
arge. Yet some of you endorse Capt. [
llman and what he has said. How differ
tly would you think were anyone to circu- i
'. a report that you had stolen a horse 1
d then did not attempt to prove it.
"Col. Earle then discussed the charges of a
litical peijury and their provocation. t4
pt. Tillman has gone so far as to charge y
.e of our noblest sons, one who has led us
war and in peace, with securing office by t~
shonorable means. Can you believe this h
that noble patriot, James F. Izlar ? If
*pt. Tillman cannot squarely say that this c
arge is true, if he cannot prove it, then o
as an honorable man ought to apologize. sj
:urrah for Earle ! Hurrah for Tillman !] o'
"After another outburst of conflicting en
asiasm. Col. Earle continued: 'Let us all tI
quiet,' he said. 'I will give you my views. si
u may accept them if you want to. There []
no use of getting mad.' Just about this
ae two men in the audienc were unusu-! tc
y noisy and seemed to be on the war
th. Col. Earle pointed to the men and I a
d: 'See those men. Thcy are not going
do anything; if they wanted to fight they i i
uld not talk so much.' Several men in
crowd called for peace, and the speaking
utinued.
'Bra~ion, said Col. Earle, has never ac
ied the Democratic party of being cor- p
>t. He knew such charges would be uin-! h<
e. He has accused us of manipulating I I
etions, but he has never thought of fo
rging us with dishonesty-, for he knew.
t he could not prove it. Capt. Tillman or
kes these charges, and they have the
re power to huit us, as Capt. Tillman is Al
>gnized as a Democrat. Then aain, you er
tember that at Lancaster Capt. Tilmnan
rged that the Democratic party has not , pr
t its pledges. Then he says you have;
self-government and that you have netver' or
a a live candidate for governor. Did you ca
e see Capt. Tillman or Mr. Gary before he
r were named and selected for you to ed
for? You will have to swallow them th,
then amusingly illustrated how Col. Gary
and Col. Pope divided the spoils on the
farmers' ticket. He ridiculed the idea of
I the Tillmanites asking for farmers as a re
form and ending up by making a ticket on
which it would be impossible to find but
two farmers. Capt. Tillman, I want you to
know, is no clodhopper, as he calls himself,
but a well-to-do farmer, who owns two
farms. Yes, they have a place for Mr. Tin
dal also. I believe Mr. Tindal is a lawyer.
At this the aspiring Secretary of State shook
his head, whereupon Col. Earle said: 'Well,
if you are not one you have always tried to
be a lawyer.'
"Is it not ridiculous for you to cry for
self-government and yet have a ticket named
in a room at the Mansion House?
"He then related the various stands of the
Tailmanites on the primary question. Do
you not know.that it Tillman wants a pri
mary his following will give it? The only
thing to save the Democratic party, if it is
saved at all from serious division, is the pri
mary.
"If the August convention should nomi
nate Capt. Tillman, or even if the Septem
ber convention nominates him, there will
be thousands who will not vote for him, and
there is a good chance for the State to fall an
easy prey to the Republican party. Why
should the primary plan become wrong so
soon ? [A voice: 'The rain makes the change
necessary.'] A reformer always does what
is right. Capt. Tillman told me at George
town that he would advocate the primary
plan at the convention. Turning to Capt.
Tillman: 'Did I understand you correctly?'
"Tillman: 'I'll do it.'
"Earle: 'It the primary election is or
dered, you will see some people get left, and
I think Capt. Tillman will be among them.'
[Voices: 'Never.' 'Yes, he will.') T you are
not afraid of the primary, then why do you
object to it? [Voice: 'There's a trick in it.']
Answering the author of the suggestion of
trickery Col. Earle said: 'Those who suspect
others of trickery are not beyond suspicion
themselves. I can't see why the people of
South Carolina should defraud each other.
If the two factions of the State can be
brought together it is far. more important
than the election of any one man. I'll fight
Capt. Tillman as long as I can and if de
feated will vote for him.' [Deafening hp
plause for Earle.]
"Col. Earle then discussed the March
convention. He asked it' the State did not
already have a Democratic organization.
Some one answered it was run by the ring,
but refused to name any one connected with
the ring.
"He explained his connection with the
farmers' nomination to the satisfaction of
all. Col. Earle at this juncture asked for
his time, and the chairman announced that
he had spoken an hour. He then hurriedly
e efended the board of agriculture, the pen
itentiary, the railroad commission, and the
legislature from the charges made against
them.
"In ending his admirable and complete
argument in vindication of the State, the
Democracy, and its representatives, he ap
pealed to the audience to do all it could to
secure a primary, the only salvation of the
party."
At the close of his speech Col. Earle re
ceived an armful of bouquets and consider
able applause. He had made one of his
best efforts during the campaign, but the
people had already read or heard his argu
ments, their opinions were already formed,
and they saw no reason, from anything he
had said, to change their minds; so, impa
tient to hear their gallant leader, the great
bamboozler, as he is styled by his political
haters, the shout went up for Tillman.
TILLMAN WAS LNTRODUCED,
and a mighty shout, loud and prolonged,
rose from every part of the crowd. They
had quietly and orderly listened to Gens.
Bratton and Earle, and now their time for
applause had come. Tillman and every one
of his supporters were delighted and elec
trified by the almost unanimous enthusiasm.
Fully three-fourths of the crowd was with
him. The News and Courier thus reports
his speech:
"Capt. Tillman did not make a speech on
the issues of the day. He saw that most of
is followers did not want argument, they
wanted to see him. The Democratic circus
has been on the road for seven weeks, and
t was surprising to see so many people out
to see the performance to-day.1
"Voices: 'We come to see Tillman !'
"Tillman: 'Well, it does look so, for when 1
I wasn't in Charleston they didn't have any-1
one at the meeting.' [Hurrah for Tillman!J
"'f I am to speak to you then bottle upi
our enthusiasm. So far as I can see, the
campaign speeches have done no good.' ]
"He told of the difference of his reception
o-day and four years ago when he visited
danning to make a speech. Then he had
b walk up town unescorted. Here theret
sas an unprovoked outburst of Tillmania.i
rhe leader turned to his underlhngs and
aid: 'You are hollering for Tillman and
nany of you don't kmnow why.'1
"Voice: 'We want you for Governor.'
"Tillman: 'Those of you who haven't
easoned out that desire know it by intui
ion. You have smelled it out.'
"He asked his auditors what they wanted
liscussed, whether it should be 'Peter's
ife's mother.' or the issues of the day.
h? crcwd cried back that he should me'':e e
is own selection. Thea the new-fangled E
teformer discussed the necessity for his'i
farch convention and how Col. Gar'y hap
~ened to be named on his ticket. He reit- i
rated his charges about the nouentity of' a c
rovernor, aristocracy, the Jerry Smith r
ligarchy,' and the needlessness of attrib
ting our troubles to federal legislation.
"Then he relapsed into his talk abont
ings and concentric rings. Tillman thena
omplimented the Farmers' Association fora
s work and said that they had given up
:e study of principles and were now tsking ~
a the methodq. The other side don't want e
LS to handle the methods, and 'that's what's t
e matter with Hannah.'
"Here the crowd yelled, and Capt. Tillman ~
shed them to 'shet up.'
"If you ask me what's the matter with il
outh Carolina, I simply say that you have n
~eglected your duties as citizens and our ex- p
ting affairs are due to your continued re- b
isal to cast your ballots for the right man
t the right time. When I am Governor we 8
:1 have a Government of the people, by
e people, and for the people, instead of a
overnment of the people, by the poli
cians, for the office-holders.
"I beg you to send good legislators to the
~egislature. and I beg you, for God's sake, 0

"Capt. Tillman then rehashed the oft-told hi
ory of the Farmers' Association, and its at- p
~mpts to elect Govesnors. 'WVhy didn't T
u come out in 1888,' asked some one.
"Tillman: 'Simply because I didn't want
,and because if I had every one would -
~ve said I was only an office-seeker.'
"Col. Earle: 'In speaking of my candida
by the farmers, I want you to explain
e thing. What did you mean when you
d you selected the man with the least tar lI
him?' a
"Tilhman: 'I meant you had sonic sympa- r
y for the old things. I meant no slur or
spicion upon your character or record.' C
[rrahs for Earle and Tillman.] 0
"'Tillman: 'Earlc saiys hc wants a primary

primary unanimous, but there was no re
sponse.
"Then Tillman paid his usual compli
nent to the News and Courier, referring to
it as the lrlot which has dominated in the
politics of South1 Carolina. This was pro
vocation for loud and pronounced applause
for the News and Courier. To the crowd
which cheered the News and Courier and
its representative Tillman said: 'If you peo
ple read any other paper you wouldn't be
so besotted. You only read one side.' The
only reply was applause for the -News and
Courier.
"He said that the only counties where
there was a chance fo, a split were Charles
ton, Richland, Sumter, and Fairiield. We
will take the white men and negroes of
these counties by the throat and beat them
into line. [Hurrah for Tillman.)
"A Voice: 'Did you say you would abolish
the lien law?'
"Tilhuan: 'I can't do that. The Legisla.
ture only can decide.'
"Earle: 'I suppose he means if you favor
the lien law, and would recommend its re
peal.'
"Tillman: 'The lien law has teen our
-greatest curse. The Alliance will give all
the credit needed. I want the lien law re
pealed. I am not afraid to say this.'
"Then Tillman talked in his stereotyped
language about the board of agriculture and
the itslicized frauds, and the italicized rich
man, and the poor man who goes to the
penitentiary.
"Col. Earle asked him if the juries were
not responsible for this.
'A Voice: 'I want to know if you ever
tok back anything you ever said.'
"Tillman: 'Where did you come from?
I want to say that anyone who says I ever
retracted anything siiuply lies. Of course
I except the apology I made to Col. Dargan.'
Capt. Tiliman continued for some time,
covering the old ground."
At the close of his speech Capt. Tillman
received a number of handsome bouquets
and a long and wild burst of applause. A
horseshoe made of choice flowers was sent
him by a lady admirer, and called forth
froi him a little speech to the ladies.
Capt. Tillman was followed by four other
speakers in the order named: Col. Y. J.
Pope, candidate for attorney general; Col.
H. L. Farley, candidate for adjutant and
inspector general; Mr. W. D. Maytield. can
didate for superintendent of education; and
Mr. James E. Tindal, candidate for secre
tary of Sf:te, each of whom is running on
the Tillman ticket. We would like to
give a syLopsis of each of these gentle
men's speeches, but we have taken up so
much space with the first three that we
have not space. There were none of the
Anti Tillman candidates here except the
two for Governor. The day was cloudy,
and two or three showers of rain fell during
the speaking, but the crowd held together
well. The meeting was adjourned about
three o'clock.

The readers of the Tnms will be pleased
to learn gat there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall's
catarrh cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires con
stitutional treatment. Hall's catarrh cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer one hundred dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of

To Tell the Day of the Week.
Take the last two figures of the year, add
a quarter of this, disregarding the fraction:
add the date of the month and to this add
the figure in the following list, one figure
stan ding for each month: 3-6-6-24-0-2.5-1-3
6-1. Divide the sum by seven and the re
mainder will give the number of the day in
the week, and when there is no remainder
the day will be Saturday. As an example
take March 19, 1890. Take 90, add 22, add
19, add 6. This gives 137, which divided
by 7 leaves a remainder of 4, which is the
number of the day, or Wednesday.
