CRAWFISH!NG ALREADY.
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 ~

will follow them it will be dis- o

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

t will he remembered that it was

ARTICLE U:.
"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.

In our sistcr State of Georgia the

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

crat must see that. in the changed

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

,vhen it was necessary to loosen the
ines s~nd draw again together our di

>y* adopting such contracted ideas, we

We must adopt a broad and liberal
latform, which will command the re

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

Miss Lizzie Lavender, who has been

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.

TUSKEGEE. ALA.. July ss, 1878.
Dr. C. J. MorrETT-Mv Dear Sir: Justice to
you demands that I should give you my experi
ence with your excellent medicine. TEETHINA.
Our little girl, just thirteen months old, has had
much trouble teething. Every remedy was ex
hausted in the shape of prescriptions from fam-*
ily physicians. Her bowels continued to pass
off pure blood and burning f'ever continued for
days at a time. Her life was almost despaired
of. Her mother determined to try TEETHINA,
and in a day or two there was a great chance
new life had returned-the bowels were regular.
and, thanks to '"EETHINA, the little babe is
now doing well. Yours. etc. W cVR
