chances of cairying those States
are about as good as MoKinley'a,
' and. The II era hi put them in the ;
Mclvinley column because it hoots ,
that ho will carry thorn. Election :
day, howev* r, is apt to develop a
resnli altogether ditToivnt to that
anticipated by The Herald. There ;
ia ft lot of brag and blaster in the ;
columns of Lift Huunn papers then
days which one is safe in discounting.
The fact is, the Democrat; 1
have got the Uopublioans on tie
run; the "strenuous iilfc-" wliieh '
the latter have inj cted into the
campaign proves it, and if it were
not true l!;K?V"lt would nol have

like a jockass in the interest ol the 1
party of infamy nnd corruption.

Speaking of the "decencies of
journalism" we would like to unit
The State what it thick-) of a grt t
self-respecting daily that would
copy into its columns a scurrilous!
personal attack on the editor of a
semi-weekly paper, the attack c ailing
from a weekly journal with
which The Stale newspaper has no !
connection? Such an attack has!
been made with wantonness, and it !
was copied into the editorial page j
of The State, presuiuabl> n en-I
dorsement of what was said. This
publicationappeared in The State
during the ''ab.once of the editor"
it is true, but this fact does not
lessen the offense, if offense it was,
and we want to ask the editor his i
opinion of that, kind of journalism,
whelhor c?r not it accords with the
editor's hiirh ideas of the elhie??
journalism?whctherer an nrtiole I
offensive to a brother editor should
bo given a place in the columns of
Ilia paper, when his jmpor was in I
no wny concerned??Rock Hill i
Herald.
We aupposo the article referred
to is one from the Fort Mill Times
accusing the editor of the Rock
Hill ilernld of being alHicted with
n "case of aonr grapes.*' So far as
we nro able to see, that is the only
personal reference to the editor in |
the article. It. contains a refer- j
enco to "mangy place-hunters," an
expression used by the Roclc ilill
Herald itself in conned ion with
those who had thrown mud at. its
editor, and a mention of other i
sects and beauts whit h may have
been intended to apply to those
who allocked the ptiiuory syutorn, I
hut wo did not nndcratntid tho
reference to l.o personal; hod nut
ConaiiN'Tetl it jn tiir.t until the
llock Ilill lWuhl held up i. 'oco

riages will be dor-orated, and Spar- j
tanburg will be ablaze with beauty j
and chivalry and electricity all
next week. Music, dancing, fun,
merriment, Mini iuus freedom will
be the order 'f everyday. It is;
expected that bOO Confederate vet- '

The tip has boon passed in the
McKinley inner c ircle that Hum
na'a agents have got 'lie thing rdl j
fixed and that a irnijoiity of the;
electoral college is to bo soccml
by tlso same methods that were
successful b>ur years ueo? the
wholesale use of money. Ae u con
s quouce. the Republicans have |
exchanged their fright for conli- j
deuce. Domocrnlic advices do not i
coincide with that tip. Banna's
agents are plentifully supplied with 1
cash in all the doubtful States and
are trying hard, but they haven't1
got tilings fixed 3 ot, and they won't i
U'-t theni fixed if vigilance on the ;
part of Democratic leaders can
prevent it. The Democrats know j
the game that, the Republicans ore
trying to play and hope to spring
some surprises on thetn before it is
ended.
