T'HE MANNING TIMER LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Weduesday, October 3, 1S94. They Petered out. The Conservatives did not nomi nate a State ticket as it was expected they would do, and for the peace and welfare of the State we are glad they did nct. Had a few hot-heads her allowed full swing in that conve- a our people to-day would '..atior state of ferment and stri*- oe in a nately the conservaF- .e, but fortu convention were ~ ve men in thal vent such aetermined to pre. when P a condition, ani after ...ey saw that county y* county was represented by .ts of elegations, and some coun ties noL represented at all, they man fully refused to become parties tc what they considered a suicidal pol icy, and when the majority under took to force a State ticket upon them, they withdrew, and this action brought the advocates of nominations to their senses. They found them selves without the desired backing so they threw up the sponge. It was our privilege to be in Columbia the night of the Conservative convention, and after remaining up all night ,ith the desire to be admitted as a spectator, we had to come back home disappointed. The gathering was not a public convention, but a secret caucus, and none but delegates were allowed inside. The Reformers have held caucuses, but whenever they did so the Conservatives held up their hands in holy horror at the out rage. It was simply outrageous for the Reformers to hold a caucus. It was undemocratic and unconstitu tional, but now since the Antis have held an eight-hour caucus and an eight minute convention to do abso lutely nothing but cuss each other for being cowards, we think the hue and cry about caucuses will cease. Knocking at the door for admission into the march-up-and-down-hill-con vention was a number of Democrats, but their knocks were unheeded, and when Edmund H. Deas was seen walking about on the inside, those outside sent up a howl of indignation. They naturally wanted to know why white Democrats were excluded from a meeting of white men and cspored RBepublicans admitted-. The only ex planation they received was that Deas Te door-keeper unnoticed. Imatters not how Deas got into the secret 'caucus, he was in there all the same, and it is said that he was seen to shake hands with some on the inside. Now, since the Conservatives have properly de cided to not plunge the State into 'strife by putting out an opposition ticket, the question comes up as to what will General Butler do ? Will he continue in the race for the Sena tomship ? or does the action of the Conservatives shelve him. Unless General Butler's friends expect to -capture enough Reform votes in the General Assembly to elect him, we cannot see the wisdom of his re mnaining in the field. In a few coun ties there will be county tickets run in opposition to the regular ticket, but even if they succeed in defeating the regular nominees, there will not be enough of them to elect General Butler with every Conservative vote in the General Assembly voting for him. The State Democratic Executive committee has awarded the printing of the election tickets this year to Mr. C. A. Calvo yr of the Columbia Reg ister. SWe see it stated in the newspapers that Attorney General Buchanan is likely to succeed Judge Fraser as Judge of the third circuit. We hope this is an idle rumor. Judge Fraser, if he desires a re-election should have it without opposition, because he is a conservative man and an upright ~judge. He has not used his position to gratify political spleen, but to the contrary he has held the scales of justice with an even hand. The bench should not be dragged into politics, especially when it is adorned with such men as T. B. Fraser. The Democracy of New York has .eailed upon David 3. Hill to lead its forces on to victory. In the Demo cratic convention last week he was unanimously made the nominee of the party, and the campaign cry is "Brains vs. Boodle." Levi P. Mor ton, ex-Vice-President, is the Repub lican standard-bearer. The fight in New York will be lively, as the Dem ocrats are not united. Already there is-an Independent Democratic ticket in the field led by that mugwump ele ment which fought Hill when he was a candidate for the Presidencv. There was a dispensary established at Bluiffon last Monday, this makes sixty eight now in the~State. So far sice the reopening of these institu tions the Counties and towns have received but little income and the cas of it is very apparent to the casl observer. There is hardly a tow2 in the State but what has open : -ooms running at full blast. . ia concerns are open early in the mx;aing to catch the man that wants a eye opener" and remain open u late at night for the soak to get h* ,ight cap''. As long as this con d-im exists just so long will the ey and town authorities be ved of an income from the sale uor. It is to be hoped that a ion settling this much vexed i 2on wvill be published soon, and ~ d the court declare the dispen erlaw constitutional, the town au - .ties ought in self defence see i 'lind tigers are driven from their ers. I however the court de 3 against the law, we hope im -:ite steps will be taken by the wr'r authorities to prevent liquor heie~ without legal restrictions. S:.es should be eliminated from th hiskey question, and the matter - 23 be treated- for the welfare of t& ammuty. Judge T. B. Fraser's term expires next month, and we hope the General Assembly will re-elect him. Cul. Joseph H, Earle is being prominently mentioned for the judgs, ship now held by Judge Norton. Superintendent of Edueation May field is after the school book concerns that have violated their contracts The necessary enth sheets for exhibits in the comin, sheets for be obtained fw , tate fair can Holloway, Po,'- . Mr. Thomas H1. _ ..aria, S. C. ur -,a the Republicans have taken . the secret caucus idea and yester day their executive committee had a meeting in Columbia with closed doors. The Congressional fight in the 7th district will be watched with great interest throughout the State, for the reason that Dr. J. W. Stokes has as his opponents two Republicans and Cal. Caughman. Dr. Sampson Pope will not poll fifty votes in this county unless a great change comes over the Con servatives. The Conservatives of this county, if they vote, will vote for the regular Democratic ticket. It has leaked out that the Repub lican caucus decided to put candidates in the field in every Cor-gressional district in the State. Joshua E. Wilson, colored, will be Congressman McLaurin's opponent. It is thought that Ellison S. Keitt will be a candidate for the United States Senate. When Irby defeated Hampton, Keitt was also defeated and has been as mad as a wet hen ever since. Keitt is another of New berry's political freaks. A shocking tragedy occured in Charleston last Sunday afternoon in one of the most crowded portions of King Street, Policeman Lewis Knox shot Messrs W. J. Carey and John Conroy. Carey was instantly killed and Conroy was dangerously wounded. Mr. Henry T. Breeden was last week canvicted of manslaughter in the Marlboro court, and sentened to three years in the penitentiary. The man killed was M'r. J. Douglas Moore, his brother-in-law. He is also a brother-in-law of Congressman Mc Laurin. The case goes up to the Surpreme Court on appeal. Dr. Sampson Pope has blown an other blast upon his political trumpet and is out with a manifesto in which he says he will give his word of hon or that he will remain in the guber natorial race to the finish. Dr. Pope has a perfect right to run in the gen eral election, and when he is beaten he will be well advertised to go back to Texas and resume his occupation of peddling in silver-plated spoons. TIRED, WEAK, NERVOUS, Means impure blood, and overwork or too much strain on brain and body. The only way to cure is to feed the nerves on pure blood. Thousan'ds of people certify that the .best blood purifier, the best nerve ton ic and strength builder is Hood's Sarsapa rilla. What it has done for others it will also do for you-Hood's Cures. Hood's Pills cure constipation by restoring peris taltic action of the alimentary canal. The Mobile Daily News gives the following information as to what was done by Congress: The Fifty-third Congress has wiped away the last vestige of mili tary despotism and federal control of State elections from the statute books. It has reduced the expenses of the government $30,000,000. It has passed a tariff bill that puts wool, lumber, salt, cotton bagging, cotton ties, binding twine and agricultural implements on the free list. It has reduced the taxes on woolen goods 50 per cent. and on cotton goons the same; it has reduced the duty on coal and iron ore 75 cents to 40 cents a ton; it has made a breach in the tariff wvall; it has broken the combina tion of the confederated monopolists; it has given the country a fair start on the road to free trade, and it has placed a tax on incomes so that those who have been growing rich on other people's taxes may know how it feels pay taxes themselves.
