The majority of the newspapers n South Carolina have express ed opinions adversely on the ac- f tion of the Democratic Com mittee, and even Tillman himself s beginning to hedge. He gives out an interview criticising the 1 action of the Ohio Democrats for taking action on the silver ques tion before the next national convention. According to Till man himself, although the inspi- t ration of the McLaurin resolu tions, conditions of the country . wll have so changed by the e assembling of the next national convention, that a new platform will have to be built. He rea lizes that the dead planks, such as silver, will have to be replaced with others covering live issues, and that those who favor the preparation of the people for live issues are the advance guards of what is coming. There is no man in the State more cognizant of the fact that some- 1 thing progressive must be taken 5 hold of by the Democracy than Tillman, and from now on we expect to see him trimming hisC sails to catch the progressive breeze. We do not mean that he I will change his attitude towards McLaurin, because his fight on t him is a personal one, but we do expect him to be advocating the i very measures and policies which he has been denouncing in Mc Laurin. Tillman is always on the look out for a winning card and when he sees, what he calls ! "Republicanism" in McLaurin j will be the policy of the Demo- y crats of the other States, he e will embrace them too. Did not u Tillman go out West to form an alliance with the Republicans therey What was it for, if not n to win. Did not Tillman endeav- ) or to make Teller of electoral commission fame the nominee of the Democratic party for Vice President? Teller was one of the commission which robbed the Democracy of the presidency in 1S76 when Samuel .J. Tilden ly elected. Is it to be y it that Tillman wanted v ith hating radical, be- e liked him? No. Teller ~ ted to give brilliancy to j s light in the West which a out. a s us a fatigued feeling ooliticians prate about S , 3, nine out of ten of a - no more for principles e * fidel cares for religion, uney harp on principle to catch the public ear, but if the public is will follow them it will be dis- o covered, that polhcy and not S principle, is the guiding star of i politicians. If this is not true, a why do they change their course o so frequently? Take Senator P Tillman from the issuance of the . Shell manifesto up to now, and a see how few of the things in t that manifesto he still stands by. ~ He started out by denouncing the State educational institutions, e but today he is commendably ii their friend. He denounced the a convention~ system, and only re cently undertook to convert the a General Assembly into a conven- r tion, and, failing, came down in 8j person and whipped the commit tee into a convention. He de- r nounced corporations, and now t we see his name as one of the di- e rectors of a big one. He de nounced free passes and was the i first to accept one. He denounc- I ed Hampton for meddling, and has been doing it whenever he felt so disposed..t Tillman said it was wrong in v McLaurin going out eighteen t months in advance to spread his views, when he went out four 14 years in advance. He denounces v McLaurin for mingling with Re publicans, and yet boasts of the friendship of Republicans. Till- a man kicks because McLaurin said McKinley should be nomi nated by acclamation, and yet he' ur-zed the election of Quay, the Pensylvania Republican who was a leader in trying to put the Force bill on us, and is regarded a corruptionist throughout the Union. We mention these few things just to corroborate our statement that politicians are more after the "main chance" than princi- a ple. Just look at those people ~ and newspapers who have been denouncing Tillman as a thief. a liar, and all kinds of a scoun dr-el, how they have flopped-over to him to give aid in cr-eating a v-acaner in an office, hoping one o1 their kind will catch the plum. These same papers have always conter~ded that Tillman was no Demnocrat, now they would paint him the father of Democracy, I and then some of the Editors were so bitter that they com par-ed us Refor-mer-s to negroes, now they are crawling on their bellies, trying to sneak into our ranks. Those of us who remem ber the days of 1S890 cannot help I being amazed at the slobbering these people are doing over Till man. is it sincere? No, and fu ture developments will show the WAS WILIE SCEARED OF BEN? Even in politics regretful con itions can arise. Colonel Wilie ones, State chairman of the )einocratic party, and a candi ate for a seat in the United ;tates Senate, who is laboring midelr a hallucination n the sh enator Till ings and basking in the unshine of Tillman's approval, as put himself in a very deplor bble and inconsistent condition. t will he remembered that it was i1 who, after "a talk with Till nan," was the first man to ap roach Governor McSweeney to nge him to return those famous -esignations, and after they were -eturned, he sat silent and per itted Senator McLaurin to be misrepresented by the charge hat it was McLaurin's friends ho urged the Governor's ac ion. Now, after all this, how could a man aspiring to the high )osition of United States Sena or be so in consistent as to vote or the resolution calling on Mc ,aurin to resign? Remember Vilie Jones advised the Gover tor to refuse to accept the resig Latioris. Jones' conduct, to say he least of it, was weak and in onsistent. He showed himself eady to "bend the pregnant tinges of the knee that thrift aay follow fawning."

"Democrat," in South Carolina, for Le past six or eight years has been a er'e elastic word, and has been stretch d and strained so as not only to em- 1 race and take in the entire populist arty, but every white republican as 'ell'who would consent to vote with us nd only agree to support the nominees fthe 'State or county election for h.ch he voted-leaving him free to apprt his national nominee if he saw rcuer. In Spartanburg county, I< n~w several hundred white republi es who regularly vote the State lemocratic ticket but cast their votes r their party's national nominees. Even when the populist party was the zenith of its power that political rganaizationl secured but a meagre Lpport in South Carolina, owing to ne fact that, by voting with the D)em rats, it could best secure its ends nd at the same time under the guise 1 f democracy, disarm and paralyse the ower of its enemies. In our own State the greatest latitude as been given to political dissentients nd all required of a candidate or vo er was that he would agree to abide y the verdict of the primary at which e voted. It was the desire of thei olitical leaders in our State to strength-i the reform ranks by drawing' there-1 as many white voters as possible so 1 s to keep the conservative a hopeless l iinority.< There was at one time, however, mong our reform leaders, who are ow setting themselves up as the sacred aidances of democracy, and are so ealous of the honor of their party, a trong inclination to join the populist anks: and they would have done s, x, but for the strenuous protest and 1 xertions of the late Hon. John L. M. rby, who was, at that time, State ha'irman, and South Carolina would ae been as strong a populist State as ansas. This is true, and I know thereof I speak. The introduction, by Ir. Latimer, of those resolutions bit- 1 erly denouncing Grover Cleveland in Le'State convention and which con ention, too, was tottering on the very rink of populism, gave the members a bone to gnaw" on and distracted heir attention from what w~as then nown as the "Third Party." And then those anti-Cleveland resolutions *ere first introduced Governor Tillmnan pposed them at the meeting that ight, but the next day, wher he found he convention determined to pass hem, he was silent.1 At that time the Alliance movement as very strong in South Carolina and he introduction of those resolutions v Mr. Latimer secured him the con ressional nomination is his district. ut before the election was held M~r. 2timer passed through McCormick nd while there had an interview, rhich was published in a news-paper, a which he (Latimer) stated that he rould refuse to go into any Democratic aucus on the sub-treasury bill. As oon as this interview appeared several >apers in our State raised a protest gainst the Democrats voting for any ndidate who would not abide his ,arty cacus. Mr. Latimer then came ut ith a second interview in which . argued that the sub-treasury bill as "an economic" and not a 'ipoliti al" question, and the members of con iess had no r'ight to hold any caucus herecon. 1 now understand that Mr. Latimer e~udiates the Alliance sub-treasury pill. the same plank upon which he ated io congress, and which showvs hat the gentleman's mind has under none a revolutionary change on what cas once the "livest wire" in South ;arolina politics, and which not only :nocked Senator Hampton, but every l congressman in South Carolina out f their jobs. We all remember that when Mr. Villiam J. Bryan was first nominated y the Chicago convention that "16 to "was the leading issue in our State, .d had plumped out the sub-treasury il1. When our State convention met very delegate elected to the national 'onvention had to swear to support senator Tillman's "16 to 1 or bust." roposition. The delegates from this right of naming their own national lelegate, elected Colonel Wylie Jones >f Columbia by a decided majority. When Colonel Jones' name was read >ut among the list of delegates to hicago, Senator Tillman arose in the convention and entered a protest igainst his election, expressing in his argument, a doubt of Colonel Jones thdrawing from the Democratic convention if that body refused to en :lorse the "16 to 1" proposition. The Friends of Colonel Jones, in defense. explained that he was a citizen of Columbia and had always been a staunch reformer and friend of Till man: that he was a national banker, and yet and avowed and outspoken free silver man. But that Colonel Jones was above all things a Democrat and would bow to any decree made by his party in convention assembled. By a small majority the convention defeated Colonel Jones, and thus denied the representatives of the Fourth district the long recognized right of naming their own delegate to a Democratic conventon, a privilege at that same time accorded every other district in :ur State. I simply refer to the above instance to show the great latitude that South Carolina has for the past eight or ten rears extended to Democrats, and how new issues are constantly springing up, urnishing a slogan for politicians, and hen permitted to lapse into a state of nocuous desuetude, to give place to ome other rallying cry for politicians. And it was not only in South Caro ina that the Democratic party per nitted its members and leaders the ?xercise of a very elastic political con cience, and regularly every few years tome new and untried issue has been rought forward to rack the minds of oters, and I believe that such vascil ations and constant shifting of positions -esponsible for the repeated defeat of yur party. To attain political success mad secure the confidence of the intelli ent voters of this great country the latform of any party must embrace road, liberal and progressive ideas ;hat will appeal to the justice and rca ;on of the voters and to be eternally ;rimming its sails to catch every pass .ng breeze, but a part must fix its ompass so as to keep a straight and onsistent course and not be tacking rom side to side. The policy so long pursued by our arty has been taken advantage of by nen of brain and influence to warp and wist its platform to suit theirown ends Ind the interests of their constituents. Congressman Randall of Pennsyl ania was a democratic leader in the ouse and his honesty was never ques :ioned. And yet Mr. Randall was an wvowed and outspoken protectionist. lways voting with the Republicans n that question, and at a time, too, ,hen opposition to protection was the eading is- 'e with the democracy. In our sistcr State of Georgia the )pponents of Alexander H. Stephens net in convention at Thomson and ominated Dr. Casey for congress. rhe news Vas instantly wired to Mr. Stephens at Washington, when he tele raphed back the five significant ords: "I will stand for congress." The Democrats of that district knew Dr. Stephens was stronger than his party, and the result was that they :ook down the name of Dr, Casey and ubstituted that of A. H. Stephens, thus making a great political organi .ation bend like a reed before the elo luent blast of an individual Democrat. Thomas Jefferson is recognized a ~he founder of Democratic principles, tnd the father of our p arty. The Democrats brought on the lat war be ,ween the States to maintain slavery: Lad yet, what is Mr. Jefferson's record )D the slavery question? In 180'7 Jef erson recommended to "prohibit a ~raffic of which the morality, honor tad dearest interest of the country had ong required the disappearances." The Democrats of South Carolina are ow told that unless they swear alliance o the late repudiated and defeated (ansas City platform-a platform dic ated and "forced upon our party by >opulists, anarchists,old green-backers, -enegade Republicans and the rakings nad scrapings of every political move neat started in This country. Mr. William J. Bryan has been twice ominated on that same platform, and t the second co:atest he not only met a rushing and withering c efeat, but he ost to our party control of both houses f Congress and every in'telligent Dem crat must see that. in the changed onditions of affairs, it would be politi al suicide for the Democ rats to again nter the campaign on such dead an~d ~epudiated issues. Here is a fair illustration of any such -uling: Suppose some land owner -ented a tenant a field antd had it plan ed in cotton. There came a long ummer's drought, and therefore his rop did not pay for the rertilizer used. 'he following winter was a mild one, Lad a few of the cotton stalks budded ut again in the spring. Thus encour ged, instead of plantinog fresh seed, e insisted on his tenant cultivating. hose same old weeds an:1, as a natural -esult, he lost his time and labor, and he failure was even more disasterous han the first year. But with his mule eaded stubborness, that foolish land wner insisted again, for a third time, n his tenant working and trying to esurrect those oid co :ton stalks, in tead of acknowledging that the case as hopeless and planting an entirely ew and fresh crop. Now, do you believe that there is a armer in the Souzh who would consent o waste a third year's labor on those ld cotton stalks? And yet this is just what some of our Democratic leaders in south Carolina insist on their party loing. They demand that the Demo :rats in our State continue to work tround those old dead political stalks, .hat the country has twice repudiated, tnd, who if they again succeed in do ninating our party and next national ~onvention, and in dictating the plat orm, means not only another crushing efeat~but a perpetuation of Republican ~ule and thae utter destruction of Demo ~racy. Our party, both in South Carolina Ld in other States, as I have shown Lbove, has been very liberal in the atitude given the opinion of individual nembers. In fact, I think we have >een too generous in this respect. But ,vhen it was necessary to loosen the ines s~nd draw again together our di ided membership, it is now, the Dem crats are, already a minority, and >y* adopting such contracted ideas, we ill reduce that minority to a mInimum. We must adopt a broad and liberal latform, which will command the re ~pect and coznfidence of the voters of ur great country-recognizing the ights and interests of every class-and tcept the changed conditions of af airs.

Editor The Manning Times: This section has recently been af flicted with a hail storm that did a great deal of destruction, especially to the tobacco farmers. The hail fell in tor rents and was the largest ever seen here. Miss Allie Boykin of Mayesville has been visiting relatives at this place. Mr. Luther Thompson is not so near sighted as his glasses indicate, if going the long distance to Spring Bank to see a girl is any sign. A large crowd attended the quarterly meeting at Midway on Tuly 27 and 28. Miss Lizzie Lavender, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Cooper at Scranton, has returned home. We all enjoy John Slab's "Rumina tions," and we hope he will continue in the line he has set out. I believe his letters will open the people's eyes to what is going on in the world of combi nations. Slab's comments on the cotton seed oil men are full of sound sense. A blow now and then at these fellows will go to show that our farmers are watching them and that they do not propose to be imposed upon. I imagine you editors have a tough time, you have to stand the hardships of criticism ani the conflicts of life, but I can say with sincerity that THE TIMES has manfully braved the conflict with a strong and an intelligent individuality. The editorial columns of THE TIMES are closely read because the people have an abiding confidence in the edi tor, and when he takes a position on a question they know that he has thor oughly investigated it; they also know that his editorial opinions are his own, regardless o- the effect they may hsave, and it is this that gives the paper such a high standing, not only in this section but everywhere I have been. Mr. Editor, your forceful comments on the recent action of the State Exec utive Committee meets with approval here. We are not ready to turn over our rights as men to a few partisan pol iticians who huddle together and act on the crack of the ringmaster's whip. We may differ with Senator McLaurin on some of the issues, but because Senator Tillman desires it, we are not going to condemn and gag him. This is a free country and every man should have the right to advocate what he earnestly be lieves is right, and if the politicians are not afraid to trust the people they will quit throwing obstacles in the way of free speech. We Reformers licked out the antis by demanding a primary, and our main argument was that all candidates from Governor down should go to the people and meet them face to face; this was the only way we could have a govern ment by the people and for the people Now, it looks like the very men who rose to the top by the political storm in 1890 are resorting to entrench them selves in control, by scheming all sorts of trickery to prevent the people from exercising an untrammeled and God given right of free thought. Mr. Editor, your contention for a free and open primary is right and I hope you will continue fighting for it. We may differ as to men or measures, but let us say so ourselves at the ballot box, and not let us permit a few politicians who have not even tried to get an ex pression of opinion from the people do our saying for us. I have no hesitancy in saying that the action of the com mittee was an outrage which I believe the people will rebuke. B. A Minister's Good Work.
