Irby-My Dear Sii I wrote a personal note to yo tly my intention was to remai until I could give my views t more fully than was then don( since my return home so man ds have asked of me an expre of opinion on the condition < cal affairs that I gave a bri< ent to the press a few day This, perhaps, renders it ui y for me to address you agaii as various communications an ons to speak at public meel have reached me I take thJ of making my views know who have done me the honc Ior them. ther reason that induces me t this course is the fact that m n regarding political mattei and my conduct have been gros presented in some quarter: I desire that my fellow-citizer be fully iaformed as to both, s they may judge aright. en my old constituents of th: who had so ofter. trusted an ed me in the past, invited me t them in June last, I cam< but one object in view, an was to appeal to our people fc y for conciliation, for unity < I expressly disclaimed an on of interfering in any wa the canvass for governor, and advocated any candidate n< any. I said that the peop: the Sole and proper judges i _selection of their officials, an their verdict there shoul appeal. In order that thei be a full and free expression < Sof their wishes as to the s, of candidates, I urged that should be held, and had th been adopted the present deplo condition of affairs would n< existed. Other counsels pr and the result is a divide and a bitter Vontest betwee s, all of whom should I to maintain the supremacy < and to promote the welfa1 State. - one deplores the unhappy di in our party more than m; I would willingly make ar to heal them were it in n: to do so. But the only remed be applied must come fro: rvatism and the patriotis: :people themselves, and we es .hope that by the exercise of the! the dangers threatening i :be averted. was the conviction of my inabi ,tozreform our broken ranks no induced me to decline to tal in any public discussion on tI es. My judgment is clear th: mneetings at thisjuncture woul ; that they would only ter dnthe ~existing breach in 01 ~and perhaps to make it irrecoi We want no further excit< rwe-have had already too muc and of a pernicious characte: involved are fully unde: -by the people, who are entire! ut to decide them. a*inilst i shall not speak agai canvass, I shall support ti nominated by the Conventic riber; but in doing this I I endorse the grave charg< jhave .been made against ti jparty of the State. Hoi inenity have marked eve: which has governe ~since 1876, and we shall i2 rtunate if our officials shall be as able, as patrio hlonest as they have been fourteen years. ~mimpelled to support the Sei ticket because it was nomin; by the.Democratic Conventio: abecause the other ticket lacd >ndorsement. I regret deep] thislatter ticket has been broug] hlIhave the greatestr< for the gentlemen composingi ido not, for one moment, quel gentleman who is at il entertain the highest pcssib: and esteem. I cannot forgi t services to the State, and-in war. To him we wel indebted for the success whic our efforts in 1876, and them -,office ithe gift of the Statef< I would not earnestly and co: support hirn were he endorse Thhe recognized authority of ti 'c party. All denunciatic and of those whom he repr< is, in my opinion, unworthy< -who indulge in it, and it wi serve to prolong and embitt< unfortunate strife which now d our party. No one who knov Hakell can doubt his sincerit conscientiousness or his Demo . I certainly do not; and whi .?ikthat he has made a mistake:i Jing his name and his influencei ~emovement inaugurated by b ~ riends, I shall not denounce the me howas my comrade in the war, wI ~wsone of the ablest and bravest c fican my command, and who wi 'trusted- friend and adviser in '7 Ido not venture to offer advicei nyfellow-citizens, for my last hone ~~otto do so fell unheeded; but doappeal to them, by the glorior n-im'des of '76, by all our hopes f< ~enduring prosperity of the State,i tavoid all semblance of violence in ti ~onduct of the election. Any act< ~3hat sort would not only tarnish ti fair fame of the State, but it won] ~paein the hands of our political oj 3poents the most powerful weapon Ebeused against us, and it would ful ~ihthe strongest argument for tU ~enactment of the odious Federal ele< ~on bill now pending before Coi Set every man who holds the bon< fii our State dear constitute himself ealguardian of the peace, and 14 nus prove to those who traduce us thi b~atever differences may exist in or vpzt we can settle them at the ballo without resorting to intimidj ISn, to fraud, or to violence. The re may contidently cherish the hol: uit when the bitterness engendere out we shall see again a united party and a prosperous people-a return to the time "When none was for a party, When all were for the State, In the brave days of old." I am very respectfully yours, WADE H.XPTON. Vote for Stackhouse. (Ma~rio'n hdex.] Thomas M. Gilland, Esq., of King stree, has been nominated by the Haskellites of his county as a candi date for Congress in opposition to the regular nominee, Pol. Stackhouse. If the white people of this district de Isire to be represented in Congress by a colored man, let a part of them vote for Gilland and they will have their wish. Gilland has not the faintest shade of a shadow of a chance of be S ing elected and every vote cast for him is equivalent to one cast for Deas. Colonel Stackhouse is the party nom inee, the representative of the white people of the district and should have the solid support of the Democracy. 'Colonel Stackhouse will make a faith ful, efficient, and conscientious repre sebtative. The people of the district manifested their confidence in him by nominating him unanimously for the office for which he is a candidate and they should give him such a majority on the fourth of November that not even the partisan Republican House over which dictator Reed presides 0 would have the effrontery to count him out. It is the duty of every s Democrat in the district to work and 0 vote for the party nominee. Gilland cannot be seriously considered as a candidate and his candidacy is wholly in the interest of Deas. The latter is r in the field to stay and his purpose is to be elected if it can possibly be ac complished. How many white voters are there in the district who will help to elect him by throwing away their ,r votes on Gilland? Every man who e votes for Gilland votes to break up d the Democratic party, to destroy the d time honored organization which has e given this State as pure and honest and able a government as the people have ever had. It will be a vote to de a troy white supremacy in the district and State and it will be giving aid and encouragement and assistance in reviving the old Radical party under > whose wicked and malignant and dis honest rule the white people of South Carolina were forced to live so many years. Endorse and support inde Iendent candidates and you will help eto restore this party to power. You ehave a legal right to vote as you - please but with the fear and dread of black radicalism always present with us the only safe course is for the V wbite people to stand together in one solid, unbroken phalanx. Any other y:course is fraught with danger and must, sooner or later, insure the re ! storation to power of that political party which for more than a decade sgave this State the worst government the world ever saw. l-Haskellism Means Rule or Ruin. (Spartanburg Herald.] eOne of the editors of the Spartan t burgq .Uerald attended the Haskell con d vention only for the infor,mation of its d readers. trSpartanburg had a large delegation i--one of the largest present. They 3-went under the impression that it was h to be a conference to deliberate for c; the welfare of the State and adopt ethe conclusions found to be wisest. v When they reached Columbia thev i found that it was a convention, shu~t n up to one defined purpose-the non te inaition of an Anti-Tillman ticket. n Co. Walker, Mr. Calvert, MIr. Thback y son, Dr. Geo. Heinitsh, Mr. Liles, and s Mr. S. B. Jones, Jr., declined to go e into the convention on that basis. -1- They were willing to go into a con y ference for deliberation and to abide d by thre decision of the majority; but, I- s one of them expressed it, "they did n not propose to swallow ready made b- opinions, or to be lead by the nose n even by Judge Haskell." The convention was in striking con >- trast to the Straightout Conference of i- August. In that conference every r, county in the State was, we believe, :s represented; and there were few y prominent statesmen of South Caroli it na absent. In this conference ~only :- nineteen of the thirty-five counties t, were represented, and reference to s- the list of delegates will show that i- only three men of State prominence s- participated. One of the most prom s inent Anti-Tillmanite editors of the e- State reviewed it: "This convention t seems to be composed mostly of n young firebrands and dudes." -e Some of the more conservative men h were in favor of nominating a Gav e ernor only. They urged that this >r was to be a protest, 1st, against cau e- cus nomination, 2nd, against abuse of d Democi-atic leaders. But the Haskeil ie ites caucused (as the Tillmanites had n done) and selected a full State ticket, a- while Tillman 'was the only man on yf the regular Democratic ticket nomi 1 nated by caucus, and the only man who ir has abused the Democracy. Had i. they nominated only a candidate for is governor they could have scrached , Tillman, and voted the balance of the -ticket without being bolters, or caus le ing a split. When they vote against n Gary and Tindal and Pope and Bates : and Ellerbe and Farley and Mayfield, is regularly nominated in the Septem aber convention composed of Demo tcratic delegates regularly elected, f they cut the ground from under their is feet and cannot claim to be regular * Democrats. These are not strong omen, but they are unimpeached Demi st ocrats regularly nominated, and oppo I sition to them, at least, is without s legal or technical excuse. >r The treatment of Solicitor McDon o0 ald was significant and startling. e Haskell decae that this was "the f Democratic convention of South Car e olina." MIaj. McDonald is a Demo d crat-no one will dispute it-and yet -. he was told that he had no right to o be in this convention unless he would - bow the knee and obey the dictates eof Haskell and his lieutenants. ..Tillman ruled us out of the March - convention which nominated him, and Haskell says we ought not to support r him on account of it. Haskell rules a us out of the October convention, but I claims that we should still support Lt him. What is the difference ! Look ron this: look on that. They are as like as two black peas. - Capt. Edmund Bacon was placed a on the Haskell ticket. Many of his e friends will regret it, as it places him d in a position at once unfortunate and a embarrassing He went into the Sep tember convention and sought its I nomination, thereby acknowledgingi the legality of its organization and that it represented the Democratic, party. He did not fight Tillman be fore the nomination. We believe he was the only Anti-Tillmanite State candidate who did pot openly do so. He was so silent on the sbjet that many Tillmanites claimed th at he was one of them, and he went into the r coavention with the strong Tillmanite endorsement of this county. Since his defeat, he is the only candidate a before the September convention who ! has permitted his name to be used in opposition to its nominees. Gen. Bonham, and others, though strongly j urged, refused to do so. t Nobody was found who had the. faintest hope that Haskell could be elected without an overwhelming ne-; gro vote. But they urged that this negro vote was sought in '76. They: overlook the vital difference, that in '76 white men sought negro votes to I kill negro votes with, and to defeat t the nomination of the Republican convention. In 1890 the negro vote is sought to kill white votes with, and to defeat the nominee of the Demo- i cratic party. The negroes refused to I follow Haskell in '76 because they t knew he represented the Democracy.! If they follow him in '90 it will be be-1 a cause they believe he is opposed to I Democracy.

Joseph H. Earle, of Sumter, was in the city yesterday, having come to the city to attend the meeting of the state board of health of which he i is a member, and which met yesterday at the Roper hospital. t Col. Earle, in response to an enquiry i as to wnat he thought of the Haskell' 'movement, replied by stating that he had already spoken very plainly and without reserve in the matter. Person-I ally entertaining a warm regard and friendship for Judge Haskell, he cond sidered that the present movement was exceedingly unwise, and might result in injury to the unity of the Democratic party of this state. He could not, therefore, in any manner, approve of the movement. IIn discussing the mattter. which Col. Earle did with courtesy and frankness to the reporter, he ~remarked, that. when he had been invited to lead an Independent movement in the state, of a similar character to the one now( being made, he had promptly declinedI and for the reasons above stated. The question of white supremacy in this' state, Col. Earle intimated in conclu sion, was paramount to every other consideration, and any movement cal clated to endanger this condition of affairs would be both injurious and hurtful to the entire state.- Charleston World. A doctor in an institution with many children declares that nothing irritates a cough more than to cough. He bribed the children in one of the hospital wards to hold their breath when tempted to cough, and was him-1 self astonished at the speedy relief oft some of them. FACTS FOR THE SICK! A Letter from an Eminent Dicine in Regard to the Best Medicine in the Wo'rld. Read. WONDERFUL CURES. krI.AmT GA., Jan. 2, ]890.--Six months ag;, at the request of a friend who was in terested in the sale of King's Royal Gernme tuer, I made a written statement of the ben efits I had received from the use of that medicine. In that statement I expressed the belief that it would cure me entirely of ea tarrh Within the last two months I have received letters from every quarter of the nation calling on me for further informa tion in regard to my health. It has been impossible for me to write privately to each person who has made this request. and I aim therefore ninder the necessity of makin aot~ohr public statement.ig I am free fromi catarrh. I believe that I could get a certiheate to this effect fromi any competent physician. I have used no m"ed icine within the last six muonths e'xcept King's Royal Germietuer. Mv health is bet ter than it has been in thirty years. I am in possession of information which war rants me in saying that the relief wvhich I have experienced from the use of the medi ine is not more certain and radical than that which it has brought to hundreds of persons in Georgia and other States. I feel it to be may duty to say, also. that the effcts of this remedy upon my wife have been even more signal and wvonderful. t 'she has been almost a lifelong invalid from nervous headache, neuralgia, and rheumia tism. In a period of thirty years she has .1 sarcely had a day's exemption from pain. She has been using Germetuer about two months. A more complete transformation I have never witnessed. Every symptomo disease has disappeared, She appears to be e twenty years younger, and is as happy and playful as a healthy child. We have per. Isuaded many' of our friends to take the medicine, and the testimony of all of them' is that it is a great remedy. J. B. HAwTHORNE, Pastor First Baptist Church.
