THE MANNING TIMES. LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, June 19, 1S95. The Convention Can Be Non-Partisan. The constant appeals of the Con servative press to keep its constitu ency out of the Democratic primary has had the effect of bringing Sen ator Tillman out in an interview, in which he charges the Conservatives with not keeping faith with their agreement, and that he is not dis posed to trust them with an equal division of delegates in the Consti tutional Convention. We have all along thought Senator Tillman went too far in promising an equal division of the delegates because we did not believe that he could deliver the goods, no matter how much he tried or how sincere his efforts in that direction would be; but we do think the conference with the Conservative leaders had the ef fect of keeping down considerable bitterness, and had not Judge Goff come upon the scene, we are satis fied more Conservatives would be elected to the convention than will be because, as soon as Judge Goff is sued forth his edict declaring our registration laws invalid and there by forcing upon us a tremendous negro vote, most of the Conserva tive press, together with some of the most trusted leaders of that faction, ran upon the housetops and shouted therefrom: "Keep out of the prim aries; we are in a position now to make demands and not to ask for terms." In other words, that press and those leaders snapped their fingers in the faces of the Reformers and in effect gave them to understand the con vention would be controlled by the Conservatives and no Reformers need apply. Senator Tillman knew this and, being of flesh and blood the same as his fellows, he feels that the magna nimity displayed by him has not been appreciated, and that he no longer is bound by the agree ment. It will be remembered the editor of THE TDIEs advocated in the "Forty" conference an equitable division of the delegates instead of an equal division, which was the underlying principle of the "Forty" movement, and we still believe the matter will finally settle down to that sort of a division yet. We personally see no objections to a division because we are satisfied there are Conservatives who can be selected that will give satisfaction to Reformers, and from the Reform faction men can be selected who will be satisfactory to the Conserv ative side. There being no factional issue at stake, we see no reason why the people cannot select representa tives from each side, and it would be still better if the people will not allow the matter of faction to figure at all when they go to select their delegates for the convention and make their selections with a view to getting the best qualified men for the place. This is what we would like to see, and we believe the people prefer set ting aside factional differences in this matter, but when leaders of the Con servative side were making all kinds of unreasonable demands - backing them with darkly hinted threats to go the negro - the Reformers w: m not at all pleased, and whir the decision of Judge Goff was reversed retaliation would have set in were it not that the Re formers are disposed to be generous and give their friends of the Con servative side representation in the convention. The Reformers do not hold the en tire Conservative faction responsible for the threats and demands of some, because they know that there is a class of Conservatives who deplored the decision of Judge Goff as much so as did the Reformers, and they sincerely rejoiced when Attorney General Barber and General Mc Crady succeeded in lifting Goff's oppressive heel from our necks. It is this class of Conservatives the Reformers would like to have repre sentation, and it matters not what committees or conferences or conven tions may do, the people will settle this matter to suit themselves, and will make such selections as they see fit. Peace cannot be had by the major ity giving way to an intolerant mi nority, but peace can and will be had by treating a reasoning mhinori ity with fairness and justice. Sena tor Tillman is opposed to trusting those who felt secure with Goff's de cree and in the bargain made with the "Colored Ministerial Union," and who scorned the concessions offered by Reformers; and so are we. There are plenty of men in the Conservative faction who could not be persuaded away from their white brethren when a dark cloud was hanging over them, but on the con trary, these men, seeing their breth ren in distress, brushed 'iside the petty differences of the past and came manfully forward to render as sistance and to stand or fall by their own race. Reformers, those are the men you can trust; these are the men that are Conservatives in fact, not merely in name, and as for one, we will support and advocate for the people to support a division of the delegates w'ith such men. The peo ple do not care, nor should they, in th is matter, which faction a man is allied with; what they want to know and should know, is the man aspiring to a seat in the convention qualified for the place, is he in sympathy with the p~eople, is he in favor of making white supremacy an assured fact, will he see that no wvhite man is dis franchised, will he work to better our school facilities so the white chil dren can receive their just portion of the tax money ? These and other things that the they will consider, and not whether the candidate voted for Tillman or Earle, or Bratton, in 1890. An equal division of delegates we believe to be impracticable, except in counties where the factions are nearly equally divided; but where one fac tion largely predominates, the pre dominating faction will be sure to have a majority, and if men are se lected who will not let factional ad herance influence their actions, it will not matter which side has a ma jority in the convention, especially so when we take into consideration the fact that for the convention no factional issue is made, and the things advocated by Reformers are endorsed by the Conservatives who want the heavy black cloud no w hovering over us dispelled. We ad mit there are some Conservatives who prefer holding this cloud over us because they hope to gain by it in the future, but they compose a mi nority of their faction and are a con stant menace to the majority portion of that faction. Who Made the Break First 1 From an editorial commenting on Senator Tillman's interview in last Monday's News and Courier we clip the following paragraph : We shall take up the subject again, but we wish to urge upon the Conservatives to-day that there is not the least occasion for excitement. The primary elections will not be held for some weeks and the election of delegates will not take place until September. A good many Things can happen in a very short time, and we feel sure that something will happen of very great interest to the Conservatives be fore very long. The registration cases are not ended yet, and this is a point that Senator Tillman should not overlook in his rejoicing at Judge Goff's discomftare. Speaking of his decision in the Goff in junction matter in Chicago on Friday l.st Chief Justice Fuller said : "The merits of the law were not at issue in the case." We agree with our contemporary that "a good many things can hap pen in a very short time," and would recall to its attention that some "things" have already happened. A conference of prominent gentlemen was had and a certain unauthorized agreement was entered into, but the result of that conference, although evidently intended to forestall an other conference to be held later, did some good toward keeping down bitterness. After both conferences had been held and everybody seemed willing to shake hands a man who, it is said, commanded negro troops during the war was brought from West Vir ginia in the capacity of a United States judge, and he endeavored to place upon our necks the black heel of ignorance and vice which, a few years ago, brought so much misery to our people. When this judge delivered himself of his decree a certain element of the faction which the News and Courier represents thought the op portunity had arrived to dispossess the Reformers of the possession of the State government. A "Colored Ministerial Union" was taken into confidence and a bargain made to control the Constitutiornal convention, giving the friends of the "Colored Ministerial Union" minority representation for their support. Conservative newspapers and prom inent leaders came out boldly and advised ignoring the Democratic primary, and to put men forward in the general election who would allow minority representation to the friends of the "Colored Ministerial Union" and who would submit the ork of the convention back, so that the friends of the "Colored Minis terial Union" could assure themselves that the negro's franchise would be Among the other "things" that happened was an element of the Con servative faction, feeling assured of success with the backing of the "Col ored Ministerial Union," became very intolerant and told the Reformers they would not be satisfied with an equal division, but would take con These things wvere not very palat able to the Reformers and to the peace-desiring Conservatives, but nothing was said, as the hands of the Reformers were in the lion's mouth, and they concluded to leave the animal alone until the time came to strike. Another "thing" happened : A young man from the State House, whose name is Barber-whom the epublicans and their new allies will always remember-went before the Chief Justice of the United States and two other judges, and with a ampson-like blow smashed Judge Gff 's decision and the hopes of a certain element of the Conservatives, together with their friends - the "Colored Ministerial Union" - into ow our esteemed contemporary in its disappointment comes to the cnclusion that 'something will happen of great interest to the Con servatives before very long." Per haps so. The "something" cani not happen too soon; that is if that something" means the repudiation and cutting loose from that element of the Conservative faction which is a festering sore to its body politic. We say the sooner it happens the better, and w~e believe the Reformers would receive with open arms all oservatives having the courage of thir convictions that will repudiate and cut loose from that element that wa illing to make coalitions with the negro. The trouble with our friend is that its plan to play the "spider-and-fly" business might have worked were it not that its jealous friends gave the snap away. The Legislative committee having in charge the examination into the management of the State dispensary hav concluded their labors and theirreport shows the institution to be in excellent condition. It shows the dispensary under Col. Mixson's supervision to have been managed in a thoroughly business-like mannier, aiid that every dollar disbursed and received was accounted for wvith ex actness. Col. Mixson should feel proud of this report, for it is seldom that such an immense business makes Programmes are out for the tweii tv-fourth annual iueeting. of the State Teachers' Association, wlhiil will be held this year at Converse College, Spartanhurg, leiiiniig June 30 and continuing until .1 uly -1. The programme is a varied and in teresting one. The News and Courier is disposed to rob the Reformers of their glory in the recent victory over Judge Gioff and the hired enemies of the State. In last Saturday'; issue it la bored hard to prove the Victory was not due to the administration. but it was I that did it with my little edito rial hatchet. A(ccording to this great newspaper, Barber. Me(rady. and Mower were "not in it," but it was "1: I : Me: that told the Administra tion what to dci. Some people seem to think it terri ble for Senator Tillman to ask the people to see to it that "no inen bce allowed to come to the Constitutional convention, who, during the dark days following Judge -off's decree. showed any gratification or inade any threats." We do not think it was necessary for the Senator to send out this warning: the people had already made up their minds on that score, and the determination to keep such men out of that conven tion is not confined to the Reform faction eitheir. The conservative element of what is called the Conser vative faction is as much opposed to men of the Columbia State and Spar tanburg Herald school as is lie most orthodox Reformer. The peace ele ments of both factions realize that no peace can be had unless the disturb ing elements are sat down upon, and the only way to effectually do this is to gc into the primary and stand by the result. In response to the call of the chair man of what is known as the "forty" committee we went to Columbia last week. The committee issued an ad dress urging the people to put aside factional differences and to fall in line with those counties that have al ready declared in favor of an equal division of delegates to the Consti tutional Convention. The address is in another column and speaks for itself, but as some of the Conserv ative newspapers seemi to think the "Forty" are holding themselves in readiness to put forth a ticket in the general election in case an equal division will not be had, we will say that such an idea is false. The "Forty" have set out to bring about peace in the State, and they have al ready declared that all of their acts will be in subordination to the Democratic County and State Exee ative Committees. Therefore this talk of the extreme Conservatives that the " Forty" wc~ill not go into the prinmary is p)oppy-cock. The 'Forty" are not only going into the primary, but are going to assist in putting forward the best and wisest tnen-irrespective of faction-inl that primary, and then, when the result is announced, they are going to work to elect this ticket in the general eection. If such were not the oh-. jet of the "FPortv" wve would wash our hands of it at onee.

ATHENS, Ga., June IS.-There is a fight on at the state university, and it may result in the defeat of Chancellor Boggs for re-election. For some time there has been a feeling against Dr. Boggs, who, it is claimed, is not practi cal in his management. There have been animosities between him and some of the professors, and this has been ac cen uated by trouble between the board of visitors, who side with the chancel lor, and Dr. Riley. The visitors have made an attack on Dr. Riley's compe tency, and the trustees are strong for Riley. Dr. H. C. White, vice-chancellor, who was invited to take the presidency of the school of technology, has declined, and it is believed he has done this be cause of assurances of his election to the chancellorship. All of these gen tlemen are prominent educators. WHITE HOUSE AT GRAY GABLES. rhe President and His Private Secretary Take Up Their Summer Residence There WASJINGTON, June 18. - President Cleveland, accompanied by his private secretary, Henry T.

O'Reilly, of the United States army, who has so frequently acted as the confidential travelling physician of the president, left Washington yesterday to pass the rest of the summer at Gray Gables, Buzzard's Bay, Mass. The White house carriage containing the three gentlemen was driven from the south side of the executive man-i sion, which is rarely used for public purposes, at about 6:30 a. in., and, pass ing rapidly down unfrequented streets,1 reached the Pennsylvania railroad sta-1 tion, unobserved, about 6:45 a. m. It1 was driven to the baggage entrance and President Cleveland and his compan-4 ions entered the station by that means, passed through the open gateway, manned only by waiting railroad offi cials, and at once entered a very limit ed special train which had been pre pared for their accommodation. It consisted of vice-President Thompson's private ear, which was occupied by the distinguished guests, and Senator Cal in S. Brice's private car, which was simply thrown in as ballast. Mr. Brice's car was needed by the Ohio senator in New York, and it was conse quently attached next to the engine, to take off some of the smoke and to give1 extra weight to the presidential train.
