THE SON OF ITS FATHER. Editorial in Charlotte Chronicle. I Pathetic indeed are the plaintive appeals that are these days breaking l'rom the lips of Senator Tillman, in supplicating the people of South Carolina to save themselves from r.ho tvrnnnv <.f virile and red-blooded lighter, that haughty and- compelling politician, that self-willed and domineering ruler sending across his native State a clear call for the lK-ople to save themselves from the terrors of a false teaching for whose propagation he is responsible. His utterances have no other interpretation. lie knows what Tillmanism was and what Hleaseism is and he knows the child bears the father's image. Why should he seek at this belated moment to keep under cover or confuse the issue of the parentage of the blight that has overcast South Carolina? The people know. Those who survive the stirring days of Tillmanism and are now witnessing the undimmed and unchecked splendor of Bleaseism nm not oVi.nwiniv .w??. ?vi v uv/v v uui miiijk; fi^uaiu^v to the present Governor. He has continued to keep the lire burning on the altar. lie is kee; ing the faith. lie has not failed to give South C.iro ina a revivified presentment of the old dictatorship with all of its military and spectacular features, its sulphurous utterances, its defiance of the accepted laws ol' society, its open challenge against the dignity and saneity of government. The genius of Blease has been in his discernment that South Carolina h id been trained to the abs dutum established by Tillman and to this he combined the common sense and ambition to leap into the leadership and keep the banner lloating. And right well did he fit into the shoes of the now repining Senator. Bleaseism may be distinguished from Tillmanism in some slight particulars, but there is enough of the ring of the genuine and the original about it to keep its apostle at the head of the procession for some time yet, if we mistake not the temper of the people of South Carolina. Blease has done well with the platform upon which he based his claims for promotion. In some respects his genius is more scintillating than was that of his prototype. His rise to power and his continued dominion has not had about^it the constructive talent that characterized Tillman. He has not combined practical appeals with his demagogical attacks. He has not mingled honest and material reforms in his campaign of personality. Issues that had to do with the well-being of the people in finances, in education, or j in morals haVP not hpnn i nnrnrvrv ...v?.pv I rated in his methods as promis- ; cously as they were intertwined j in the ascendericy of Tillman, j He has been lacking, too, in a1 stage setting as favorable as that found by Tillman. He did not discover the people at such a plastic period in their many sided interests, the factors of j civilization so inclined to mould . and harmonize under the artful' * touch of a demagogue, but despite the absence of this essential and this notable asset of Tillman, Iilease has builded him a state of society that compares in all essential qualities with that sponsored by his predecessor.

It is for a redeemer from th?? condition of hysteria, whose momentum he started and cannot now fteat hack. Strange spectacle this, of that Tl prise, in combined capital, in educational enlightenment and in sectional distinctions, Blease has wrought out a kingdom that is as firmly builded as was that upon whose pedastal Tillman has been perched. What men see with their own eyes, they want none to deny. And the spectacle of government that is being presented to the men of South Carolina today is the same in all essentials identity as that their fathers saw yesterday.
