THE MNNINGTIMES. Mann31 .g -. LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, September 5, 1S94. Stand by the Nominees! We often read in patent medicine advertisements "when you are troub led with that tired feeling" take the medicine advertised, but we can say to our readers if you do not wish to be troubled with that "tired feeling" do not pay any attention to the po litical twaddle our friends of the op position are indulging in. They give as a reason for not participating in the recent Democratic primary that they were 'disfranchised and not al lowed to have a voice in selecting the nominees of the party. Let us see if this is true or merely an excuse to disrupt the Democratic organiza tion as organized. Two years ago the Conservative faction in the coun ties throughout the State sent repre sentatives to Columbia and nomi nated a full State ticket, with Shep perd and Orr at its head. The Re formers were not consulted, nor were they expected to have a voice in that selection, because it was strictly a factional affair to be submitted to the voters at the Democratic primary. The representatives from the coun ties were selected by a few men in each county without the formality of a convention being called for the pur pose. This year the Reformers held a factional convention, but instead of selecting the delegates to said con vention by a few, the entire faction was called upon to assemble at their respective clubs and vote for the can didates of their choice with the dis tinct understanding that any white voter who would pledge himself to abide the result should be allowed to participate, and with the further un derstanding that whoever was select ed as the Reform standard-bearer would make his fight for the nomina tion of the Democratic party at the general primary, and if defeated to abide the result and support the suc cessful nominee. If the Conserva tive faction had wished to enter can didates there was nothing to prevent them. They could have repeated their action of two years ago, and pitted their men against -the.choice of the Reforme&in'The primary. W. ~it before it was not considered wrong, and the reason they did not repeat it is because past experience taught them it would be a useless task. The fear of defeat kept them back. It has been said the Conservatives are always doing the wrong thing at the right time, and their recent con duct proves it. They claim that great dissatisfaction exists in the Re form ranks and base that claim upon the light vote polled in the Reform primary. If they really believed in the dissatisfaction existing why did tlhey not take advantage of it by put ting out a ticket in the Democratic primary? No, they knew the feeling among the Reformers; they, knew that many refrained from voting in thie Reform primary because either of the Reform candidates would suit and the necessity for polling a full vote did not exist. To show the cry of dissatisfaction has no foundation' in fact, one has only to take the fig ures given in last Saturday's News and Courier. That paper shows the full vote in the primary of 1892, with the two factions fiercely contending against each other, .when the lame, the halt, and the blind was brought to the polls, to be 88,192, and in the recent primary, with no opposing ticket in the field, the vote was 58,413. Deduct the entire vote polled in the Conservative counties of Charleston, Beaufort, Sumter, Richland, and Georgetown, which was 7,598, and in some of these counties the Reformers polled a considerable vote. Sumter, for example, the Conservatives won by a bare majority, and it still shows that the Reformers, without any op position, and without anything to cause any excitement or exertion, polled 50,815 votes. What hope the~ Conservatives have of making a light in the general election without the aid of the negro vote, we fail to see, for the reason: if the Democratic vote of 1892 after a hot canvass and each faction spending its entire energies polled 88,192 votes, and this year the Reformers alone without counting the votes polled in the Conservative counties and without opposition brought out 50,815 votes, where is their hope of success ? for the figures show a Reform majority of nearly 30,000, which will surely turn out at the general election and stand square up to the nominees of the Democratic party as now organized. From our standpoint the Conserva tive faction is in an inconsistent po sition. First, they now condemn the Reformers for selecting a factional candidate before the primary, which the Conservatives themselves did two years ago. Second, they recognized the Democratic organization as now organized by putting candidates in the field and voting for them in the primary in those counties where they felt sure of winning. Third, in the counties of Sumter and Richland the Conservatives held preliminary con ventions and selected tickets to be voted for in the primary. Fourth, the Conservative clubs reorganized under the rules of the Democratic or g'anization, and have representatives on both the county and State execu tive committees. The Conservatives are a part and parcel of the Demo cratic organization of which J. L. M. Irby is the head, and they assisted in making the rules of the party. They assisted in making the pledge for the voter to take that he would abide the result and support the party's nomi nees. They will contend that those who did not vote in the primary are not pledged, but what will they do with the 7,598 that voted in the Con servative counties. They voted, and are certainly pledged, and pledged to the entire Democratic ticket as will be put forward in the general elec tion by what the Conservatives choose to call the "Irby committee." It does not take a Solomon to see a opposition to the regular Demo cratic ticket will be useless, that is, if there is to be no appeal to the negro vote, and if such an appeal is made it will only solidify the white vote and make successful opposition an im possibility. To oppose the regular Democratic ticket can only bring about bitterness and strife. It will widen the breach now existing, and it will have the effect of stifling busi ness to the detriment of those who have money invested and those de pendent for aid. The people are tired of this turmoil and strife. They want a better feeling to exist, and dc not want to be aggravated by meri who are seeking high position foi their own aggrandizement and thE gratification of their political ambi tions. The farmer knows that it is against his interests to be on un friendly terms with the merchant, be cause he realizes that the merchani is his dependence in the time of need and he knows, further, after the poli tician has gained his ends he heari no more of him until a vote is agair wanted. In other words the politi cian does not put any meat in the pot to boil the collards. The mer chant knows that when the countr3 is in an agitated condition his inter ests are suffering. The capital thai he has invested is endangered, ani his business generally is in a col lapsed conditon. He knows that h( can do busines3 more satisfactori with the farmer when good humo] prevails, and he, too, is anxious to b( let alone, as he finds that businest and polities is like oil and water won't mix. Then let us stop ivrangling among ourselves and go to work to brine about a better feeling than has ex isted in the past four years. The National Democratic executiv4 committee declines to interfere witi the present Democratic organizatioi in South Carolina. The present or ganization is recognized as the onl: Democracy in the State. The News & Courier of to-day is i journalistic gem, and the manage ment of the paper deserve high prais for the enterprise exhibited. It cer tainly makes a fine showing fo: Charleston and was done for Charles ton's good and should be appreciate< by her busines men. A Card from Mr. Hudgins. EDiTOn Masarc TmEs:-Please al low me space in your valuable pape: to return thanks to the general pub lic for the flattering-vote they gavi me for .supervisor on'-eeaday, th< 28tl-nit. I am a comparative strang er in some portions of the county and when you take into consideratioi the fine gentlemen I had as my op ponents, it was a high complemen to me and one which I shall alway: appreciate, and if elected to the of fiee of supervisor I shall endeavor t( so fill that office in such a manner a. to cause the people to never regrb1 the confidence placed in me. I hear there is some party or par ties trying to injure me by reporting that I am a yarkee, and others, thai I am an Anti. They are certainly pressed for capital. Allow me to dis abuse the mind of all doubts as tc either charge. I was born in U~nioE county, S. C. My father was a Vir ginian. My mother was a daughter of Perry Evans, of Union county, S. C., who fought through the whole ol the Revolutionary war, at the seige ol '96 in Abbeville county. The Ameri can commander finding the British would be successful and that he w'uld have to retreat, the night be fore called for volunteers to go into the ditch in front of the enemy's breast-works with hooks to pull down the sand bags of which their breaet works were made. Sixty went in; my grand father was one of them. Twelve came out, seven of them wounded. My grandfather was one of the wounded, having his thigh bone shattered. My great-grand father lived to be 103 years old, and I am after beating his record. I be long to the Foreston Reform club and was one of the organizers. I gave them a house to meet in, and they occupy it yet. I voted for B. R. Tillman for governor at both elec tions, and if I had a vote in the Leg islature would vote for him for sen ator. I hope this will satisfy those who have had to resort to a very low calling to find something against me. They dared not attack my character or qualifications for the office I seek These are too well known where I live, as my vote at home proves. Now I say to the voters of Claren don czunty if elected supervisor that I know the duties of the office and I will per-form them faithfully giving my whole time to it, and I will en deavor to make this the banner coun ty in the State according to the means at my command. Respectfully yours, R. R. HUDGI~s Foreston, S. C., Sep. 4, 1894. Silver- News. SILvER, Sep. 2.-Your correspond ent has such a cold this week that you w~ill have to excuse a short letter from Silver. News is something of the past. Since the election is over you don't hear anything. Senator Butler thinks he has done something smart by bolting the Dem ocratic party, but there are too many Reformers in South Carolina for any thing like that. We will beat him and give him all the negro votes, too. But we think the intelligent negro is not going to be bought as easily as they think for. Judge Owen has succeeded in land ing one of the fire bugs in jail that burned Mr. Briggs's store, and ex pects before October court he will have some more of them. Messrs. 3. H. Rigby and W. H.

TUDAL Talks of South Carolina Politics In the Charlotte Observer-A Division will C.use Strife and Cripple Business Wanted a Primary in the Reform Ranks. CLEVELAND SPRINGS, Aug. 18. Hon. J. E. Tindal, Secretary of State of South Carolina, is here. In a con versation with an Observer reporter, Mr. Tindal has made clear some points about the condition of South Carolina politics not generally well understood outside the State. The vote of the State, given by Mr. Tin dal, is, Reformers 55,000, Conserva tives 32,000. These are about the votes cast at the last election. The Total Democratic vote is estimated at between 90,000 and 100,000. The negro vote is between 130,000 and 140,000. The problem of the South Carolina white people is to have the white people control the State and yet not have a few people get posses sion of the political machinery cre ated for this purpose and run the State without a majority of the white voters as well as the negroes. Mr. Tindal was asked how the Re formers proyosed to accomplish the above end and he answered: "By a primary election, held un der a law passed in 1888 to secure fairness as in a regular election, in which every Democratic voter in the State can east his ballot for every officer from Governor down. I have made my campaign upon a platform which, while it would not further humiliate the opposition, would car ry out the real principles of the Re form faction and leave the more rea sonable of the Conservatives oppor tunity to unite with us. In fact, the whole people, as I believe, in State polities could have come to the Re formers. "Will you explain what was the object of the Reformers't". "Well the farmers of South Corolina organized what they call a farmer's movement. The object of that was to establish an agricultural college for boys; an industrial school for girls, and to improve the county public schools. Their petition was refused by the government and they went into polities to elect a Legisla ture which would grant their de mands. They found themselves overreached by the convention plan t of nomination, which practically disfranchised a majority of the farm ers. They then determined to over throw the convention plan, which in presence of our large negro majority (which prevents revolt) controlled the elections in the interest of the politicians. "The Reform party was formed by the farmers appealing to all classes to join them in an effort to secure self-government by electing all officers from Governor down by a primary election held under law like a regu lar election, to secure fairness. This, I believe, would secure the unity of our people, and at the same time give latitude for free discussion on free political action-and hence for prog ress and reform. "The colleges and schools have been established as desired, but the convention in 1890, compromised the primary proposed by ordering an election by primary-for electors to a convention to ehoose State officers, instead of allowing the voters to east their ballot direct for the State officers. To this I have been, and still am, opposed, and when the Re formers proposed a factional conven tion this year, I vigorously opposed it, as going back upon all we had con tended for. It disfranchises the op position (who, three times beaten and in a hopeless minority, had put up no candidate,) in a manner more pointed and unjust than the old con vention plan had disfranchised the farmers. "The Conservatives, who are now in minority, realized the correctness of our position at the beginning, and wvere anxious this year for a general primary, as it is the only protection to a minority. But the Reformers determined 'upon a convention against my advice." "Were not Governor Tillman' s views the same as yours?" - "Yes. It was for this primary that he had contended so vigorongly, and it was that which gave him such con trol over the State. But the com promise, which stopped at a primary for electors instead of for State officers direct, this year, confused the politicians, because there were four candidates, all Reformers, for Governor, which would necessitate four sets of electors in each county. This led to holding the factional convention, and Governor Tillman changed his vlews and advocated it." "Did you ask for a primary of Re formers?" "Yes, and I believe if it had been granted a full Reform vote would have been polled." "Do you think that in future so small a crowd can continue to hold and control the State government?" "No! The people will not long yield up their government. They must do so now, because they fear a division wvill bring strife and injure the business of the State. I appre hend no division now; we cant afford it." "But what will the 35,000 or 40,000 Reformers who did not take part in this preliminary convention, do to get politics in a shape which they can approve? "That will depend upon the action taken by the 32,000 Conservatives in the coming election." Mr. Tindal evidently thinks that the Gary Evans faction of the Re formers ~has used the machineito dis franchise, not only the Conservatives but a majority of the Reformers also. I infer that Mr. Tindal is looking forward to the time when the mod erate elements of both factions will unite on one candidate and refuse to follow blindly either extreme faction. He th'nks that the dispensary is favored by a majority of the people of the State but that it cannot be successful unless the different ele ments in the State can be brought to some degree of satisfaction with the manner of executing the dlispensary laws. Mr. Tindal does not say so, but I believe that lie feels that Governor Tillman has not dealt with him in good faith in the recent campaign. He seems to have had reason to ex pect the Governor's support, but he thinks his support went to Evans in spite of the statement of Tillman that he was entirely neutral. He thinks it may be that Evans got the benefit of an ide'a that Tillman fav ored him without Tillman's ever having done anything openly to war rant it, but this influence was a fac tor in the result.

In a telegram to D. H. Tompkins, secre tary of the State Democratic executive com mittee, dated Washington, August 27th, General M. C. Butler withdraws his pledge to abide the result of the primaries on the 28th instant, as a candidate for the United States Senate. In response to a telegram from the Columbia Register, asking for ar exp:anation of his course, General Butlei replied as follows: "I am following in the footsteps of distinguished Reformers wh< are unwilling to submit their claims to f primary where everything from coroner u has been cut and dried, packed and salted down by the ring; where the result is stated and known by the ring before a vote ha. been put in the ballot box." It is also giv. en out that there is to be an independent movement, vjhich is to take shape in th< next ten days, and that Congressman Shel: is likely to be the candidate for Governor This is the political situation on the ev< of the primary election. General Butler ii making the mistake of his. life. Hie ha been a consistent and uniform advocate foi the unity of the white voters in South Car olina. Ile has stood squarely against any di vision among them, and has at all times de precated any appeal to the negro element tc settle our political disputes. He went intt the recent campaign with his eyes open, and with a fall knowledge that the method and plans coM atted by others for the las1 four years would be applied to him in the race for the United States Senate. He firm, ly believed that by personal effort he could achieve success where others had failed, and that a different line of conduct would break up the combinations which are con. trolling the State. The result is mortifying and disappoint. ing. His opponent was evidently the fa, vorite of the voters who listeneti to thei speeches, or at least a large mijority oj them. The index of the campaign meet. ings pointed to the utter defeat of Get-era, Butler, if the white voters are to decide. Every fair, impartial observer drew thif conclusion, and they wondeied at th< claims set up by the filends of Genera: Butler that he wou!d carry the State. ' the purpose was to inaugurate an indeper. dent movement from the outset, then il was a mistake to enter the campaign at all, Such a movement would have had greatei strength by reason of the fact that it was known and understood, and might gathe3 elements from all sidles. To inaugurat such a movement now on the pait of Gen. eral Butler andl his friends, after partici. pating in the campaign to the fullest ex. tent, argues beyond question that they art chagrined and disappointed, and that de. feat is the cause for their present action. The only reason assianed by Genera Butler for his withdrawal is utte-rly unwor thy of his record as a public man. He ha been regarded always as self reliant and conragous in polities, but he acknowledge now that he is "following in the footstep: of distinguished Retormers," which lie put: forth as a reason to justify his condnet Who are these distinguished Reformers whose example Is so potent that M. C. But ler is obliged to follow? Let us have tho catalogne, and in almost every instance i can be demonstrated that they were fore most in originating and pursaing the "ring methods which prevailel in 1890) and 1,9: in which they were beneficiaries and par takers.

Mr. Stevens, in his journey through Russia made up his mind to travel one stage in a third class railway car riage. This plan would give him in. formation that might be. useful and would also save him a little money, which he could turn over to Count Tolstoi for the starving peasants. He found the experiment extremely un satisfactory. He says: "The third class carriages were so densely packed that there was hardly room for me, but after much scam bling I secured a seat near the door. I shall never forget that journey. It was an awful experience. I felt as if I were being frozen to death and roasted alive alternately. Outside the cars the temperature was 85 de grees below, zero. Inside the mer cury stood at 77, a difference of 112 degrees F. "Inside it was so hot that even the muzhiks, who are fond of roasting themselves, gave signs of discomfort. The heat came from a large iron stove, which the attendant kept feed ing with birch firewood. As for my self, I was melted. The perspiration poured out of every pore of my skin. My unfortunate fellow travelers gave vent to their feelings in groans or ejaculations. "Now and then tIhe door was openled by a new arrival, and instant ly the carriage would be filled with an intensely cold air. "'Hi, you there I' the muzhiks would call out. 'Shut the door i You are freezing us to death,' "A curious phenomenon sometimes occurred on such occasions. The cold gusts which forced themselves in when the door was opened immedi ately condensed and crystallized the vapor, so that we had a miniature shower of snow in the carriage. "A few of the passengers appeared really to enjoy this alternate freez ing and roasting. They crowded about the stove. One, a tall, sturdy soldier1 carrying a sword of tremen dous size, crept so close to the stove that the escaping gases made~him fall down in an unconscious state, from which he was aroused with dif ficulty. He was wearing his military overcoat. "At the first stoppage I bought a new ticket and went into a second class carriage."-London Chronicle. True Economr.
