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

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

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.

a condition for which he is
chiefly responsible. f-Ianily can
one conjure the courage to re-,
bake hint for the very laughable "
parade of his own pride. Rather
are we stirred to pity for him,
there is something so pitiable
aiui rep.Mitant about him.

of command is not struck, it is
the role of an advocate in which
he now appears. lie is a suppliant
no longer for the suffrage
of the people who have promoted
him to his present eminence.
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.
