(jutfei {jkioiiel?, POBLlSHEIi^^VERY FRIDAY W. l.ttLLEPlfaTE. /CAifDKN, S. Feb. -24tt: 1893. Olifc correspondent, "Fair Flay,"" 'makes sQcb a labored effort this week with a mere yolfamlnous ef fusion of tfortfe that it is difficult to ftiacover anything further that has not ilready been controverted in ?these columns. 'However, to make a few observa tions: "Fair Play* persists in applying promiscuously the term ^Haskell ite" tt* those who did not ? 'support the dispensary bill and con tinues to endeavor to tsastreflec-j j tions upon its opponents. It isj /probably true that most ofj the six or eight thousand white men that voted for Has kell in 1890 opposed the bill, but| *,hat Was-^ nothing to "do with the! rpresent. In staling that in the Legislature "not a single Hnskell ?ite voted for it,' he, probi.b'v un intentionally. makes an assertion that is eminently correct, or very -?nearly so. for as far ^s we know, 'there are'" no Hask^llites in th** Legislature, certa:n!y only a very few, and consequently they could '-?neither oppose or support a bill be fore the Legislature. If "Fair Play" thinks that the 5 temperenee men and reformers are 'banded together, we respectfully ?refer him to the following passage from 'the address of Hon L. D. Cbilds. chairman of the state pro hibition executive committee, which -appeared in this paper in the. issue of Feb.. 1.0th : f "U us not fo-get that our prol.ibi , tion movement derives whatever of force j / it possesses from tfili moral principle that the manufac'ure and sale 'of iittoxi ? cants for beverage purposes, in view of '-the evils which flow therefrom, is w.-ong in the sight ot Go I, and fearfully demor alizing to man, and therefore any law which provides for such traffic must of ne^pssity be opposed to prohibition- It ?makes no difference whether tie State sanctions the sale by issuing license to the citizens te engage tberei.:. or, as in the case of this law. takes the sale into its own hands. When the Sta"*? does that it compromises a principle of right * ' and perverts the purposes of prohibitive legislation and both principle aad con sistency constrain me to condemn it. As to the charge of using gar >"/ bled extracts for criticism, we did quote only sncb extracts as were ?needed to explain, and did n< t leave ?-out any material point; if ?ve had <kFair Play's" article vrus' i ri plain ??print before the reader, for refer ence, just as received, and so the charge amounts to nothing. We. still fail" to See any material . .- difference between a faction "in a part}' and a factio*u '"of a party. If a faction is in a party ard paj .? ticipates in its actions, to ai prac tical purposes it is a part '?'of'1 thai ??party. If a party is not itiited, <;and Ihere is a contending, faction, '"there certainly must be another faction, or factions, to conteni witfT and all. as long as they are if; or of .the party, ar? factions of that party. Speaking of garbling, "Fail does a notable piece o' it in -quoting Welter's definition of "faction," thi-aking no doubt thai the dictionary would not be re -ferred to. The following is the de-| ^ Coition, without garbling or quaii-i rffeatio.: : F actios; -A pertjujn political society, | combine! or acting i:i U'non . in opposi- j tioa to the priaje, government or stace; i ?-usutfly ap to a mino.ity, but it may ; >be applied to a majority; a pariy of any :kind, acting unscrupulously f ?r their .private ends and fjr the destrucijnol" i.the*coaimon good. It will be seen that the latter part of the definition was studious My garbled by "Fair Play" and lu .gobbled and appropriated only such of it as he needed to assist him in his endeavor to get out of a cora ls plication. % "Fair Play's" denial that his ar ^ai guments were based upon the gov ernor's message does not heip his ?position any. Anyone *,hat read article could see that i: was' . .tacitly admitted. "Fair pfay" goes beyond the i hounds of reason in claiming thatj he has "pfovvif that if need be, ?the negro will be appealed to. He, JkO? auy other inau caa prove what will Jtap^eA in the future, and what Jie- state* is merely his individual "-^yinioa, or probably that of Gov. , Ttllm?n. We did nut atUmpt to -disprove the "alleged fAct," foc.il is not and no man dm sav of a certainty that it will be a fact. We merely expressed -our belief that the negro wouid not be appealed to and we still hold to it. ' Fair Piay" should stick a. little ' jnore doaely to in* facts of the | owe. His uluster about Haskell- i ?itea d?es?not alarm anybody ; they ' are a back number anjl if tliere are - siili any, they are without influence or organization and have no place iu the issues of the present day. Cleveland's selection of some of j the material for his cabinet gives rise to considerable adverse com ment. Gersham is fresh from the republican party, and seriously 1 considered acceptijg the third party Domination for president last year. The choice of Lainont, his ex-private secretary, and Bisseljj his ex-law partner has a flavor of favoritism. Smith however is a strong man, and a representative! of the South, and will preside over; the interior department satis- j factorily. Against Carlisle, noth ing can he said, and Morton i* comparatively speaking,. art obscure man, and it remains to he seen what his record will- be. Thl Chronicle will publish ar-! tides on any public question when of sufficent interest, and when not couched is abusive or improper lan guagf?. The editor wishes it dis tinctly understood however, that he is no wise responsible for the views, opinions or suggestions contained therein, and only for such as ap pear in the editorial columns of this paper. !n the death of Gen. fieanre gnavd. another name is added to liie already long list of great men of this country who have passed away this year. His military [ r-cord entitles him of a front place | iu the niche of fame. WASHINGTON LETTER. | fFrom our regular corr<-sjx,n<ient.j | Washington, Feb. 14, 1893. A specimen of disgruntled re j publican statesmanship is now be ing given the country by the ad | ministration in the manner in j which it is dallying with the criti cal financial si ta.it ion. Instead if | t.-iking some d.-cided step . towards | relief Mr Harrison and Secretary Foster are simply doing nolhirfg, being perfectly satisfied if they can, stave otF the crisis until they have turned the government over to th?j Democrats, thinking thus to escape responsibility for a By tiouble that may then come. * This is worse than cowardly; it sjV criminal, rhe people of this country are not idiots; they will know where to place the JesponsiblKv should the inaction of this administration re sult in anything like n financial panic, which heaven forbid. Presidf nt-elect Cleveland has j now announced all of the member., of his cabinet except the Attorney j General and the Secretary of tho Navy. He has not pleaded all of the Democrats in 'Congress? ne I resident ever did, or ever will please all of his party in making up a cabinet ? , hut if the dissatis faction is any greater than it has been in the dominant partv when every cabinet for twenty years past has been announced, your eorres j pondent has failed to locate it all. j it mr.st be remembered in consider ing this matter iliat Mr Cleveland j has introduced something entirely ; new in polities by announcing the members of his cabinet as fast as they are deter mined upon, thus giving the opposition a chance t?. appear much grater l'?an it really is, by reason of its being presented '?? thr pu !?li:t in sections, :is it were. The objection to Judge (J:eaham, which at first appeared to be Ver y formidable, is growing l.-ss, now that its authors have tnken time to of Hie justice of giving tin many thousand independent v<?tes that were cast for Mr Cleveland representation in the cabinet. There is no opposition to Caili.-de ns See. of the Treasury; Bissell as Postmaster General; Morton as Sec. of Agriculture, or Lam out as Sec. of War, and t ie little opposit tion that has been expressed to Hoke Smith for S.v. of the. Interior lias mostly come from Western men who think a Western man would have Im?u better than Georgian for that, position. And not, a single word has been uttered bv iir.ybody agin'st the fitness of the gentlemen named f >r these positions, and after all is not th;it t to principle object aimed at by every President, in s.leetina cabinet? If Mr Cleveland wilf (ill tire two remaining vacancies with old wbe. l horses of di'm^crae.y, your correspondent predicts that *jL\u> cabinet as a whole will he cnrdi.-dly approved by ninety-five per-cenl oi the democratic partv. i Vice-President elect Stevenson will he in Washin?ioa this werfc r *? remain until after ?.he Inaugura tion. One ma.i paid *.>00 for one hun dred seats in the stand whie/i f /?he reviewing stand from whi-h Mi ' Ievela nd will review the in.tugnrnll oarade, which premise* to he t!< . largest ever seen. The treaty annexing H-iwaii, sent to the sen ste last week, has "been favorably reported. It is prohuhle. tifat not certain that it will he rati fied ?at this session. The uncer tainty" arises from the belief of of the Senators on both side. that it should be left for the next sessi ?n. Not a single vote was cast aginst the confirmation of t'ie nomination if Judge Jackson lo the Supreme It is understood that demo cratic Senators, were assured the vacancy made by his promotion would not be filled by Mr Harrison. Senator .Vorhees is strongly in favor of the amendment to the Sun dry Civil Appropriation bill, au thorizing uhe S(t? fif ..the Treasury to issue 3 per cent>$ve vear bonds, up to #50,000,000, whenever in his judgment it may be desirable to do so, for the i urpose of addtng to the gold reserve. He thinks that, the authority wiil never need to be ex ercised, 1)ecause the mere fact that it exists will give stability and in spired confidence tl roughont the world in our finances. The Senator says there is no connection between t&is amendment and the Silver question, notwitlistandiug the effort* made bv some to make i- *uus appear. The amendment,! already adopted by the Senate, will, it is believed, get through the House unless the oppositioan shall conclude to talk it to death. c The Senate voted down the House amendment to the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, prohibit ing the payment of expenses ib cn red for warrants, arrests or pro-] executions un.1er the laws relating to the election of Members of Oon i gress. This matter will come up fi'jain when the bill gets in con ference, but it is not believed that the Democrats will be inclined to fight very stubbornly for the re fttoraitos of the amendment, be cause they believe to a man that the whol* system of federal su pervision of elections will be wiped out by i lie next1* Congress. There will be no Pension reform, at this sessior. The only result of I t.he Pension discussion was some bad language and an attempt to ex change blows by two members on l.he floor of the House.

A controversy with an editor initio own paper is truly a "one-sided' ' busi ness. If we would tike his false head lines , unsupported assertions and irre' avvct comments, based on garbled ex it;u:s. fgr argument*, his adversary would ??oon be JJors de Combat. J Chronicle's first criticism of "Fair Play" was a quasi denial of the allega tion that whiskey dealers, negroes and Ha-kellitea would be allied together in the light against the dispensary law He charged '-Fair Play" with trying to create that (impression, but furnished no evidence to prove the truth of the charge. This charge was based on the allegation "that whiskey dealers will appeal to the negro if need be." The Haskel^itcp were already the champions of whiskey dealers. The combination was :n a minority ; their only hope of success was an appeal to the negro, and as appeals had been made to the negro 1 before by both Haskellites and whiskey dealers, the charge of "frying to create the impression that they wouhl make al lies of the negr??" cannot be sustained. The impression hat! already been made by their previous acts. The Chronicle claims that such an "alliance is unde sirable." The 'negro is the or.lv party to theVjliance that wouW lia^e good cause t ? objfce^. He being used as a tool to re store the offices to the Haskell ites and 1 the liquor traffic to the whiskey dealers. ; while the nagc? would prostitute bis snf I frage and^gtt nothing f r it but the ill will of his best friends? the reformers. In criticising "Fair Play's*' reply, the Chronicle declines to discuss the charge of "originating" the impression that Haskellites, whiskey dealers and negroes would be allied to/ether etc., and says : "What we objected to was the evident effort to class all the opponents *f the bill together in, as w? stated, an unde sirable alliance." ff the alliance is "un desirable," the # blame rests with those that formed it.' If the Haskellites are ashamed o?_their allies (the whiskey dealers) let them cease to serve them 1 and quit the alliance. He (the Chronicle) says: "There was an effort on the part of. "Fair Play" to band temperance m?n and reformer.* together and cast an odious reflection on the opponents of the dispensary law." The temperance men and the reformers ire already banded together. It was rheir votes that enacted the dispensary !aw ; not a sin :le Haskellite voted for it. If the assertion of this undeniable fact casts an 0 lious reflection upon the op ponents of the law, it. Is their own fault, and not the fault of 4*Fair Play." TheChroni le then asserts that "Th > most sensible remark made by 'Fair Play' is what he says this week : ' 'It would be folly to ignore the fact that th ? whiskey dealers and the an is will ti/ht arc new fighliog the administration. ' He leaves out the words "and the re ' formers on this issue." He thus garbles | the extract and destroys its meaning. I He makes it nonsense and call it sensi ble. 1 he same mode of criticism and garbling tfihe sentence in Holy Writ, where itsavs: "The food hath said in his l.cart, there is 1:0 <iod " lly having olT :J1 but the last four words vol cf.iM prove vy the bible itself ih.it -'their is n<. I ? iod.' T.ic Chronicle's head lines to '"Fair! iP.ayY' second reply says, " 'Fair 1J1 iy* I acUn >wledges that the few arguments hi* I started out w ith were found in the Gov ernor's message." Anyone that re a 'Fair Play's" rep'v Mill fill t h it no* such acknowled remen' can b* found therein. Reference is m.id ? to the G >v crnor's message in corroboration of the fact that others were impressed with the heli. f that the negro would be appealed to by the opp nL'nts of tho dispensarv law. Ion * before '*Fair Play" made the su ion in the Chronicle. Conse quently. ''Fair Flay" did not originate the impression. As to whether "Fair Tlty" can mu k* .an original argument or not, will be leit to the readers of bis commnniea'i >ni. His adversary wanl.l hardlv bj consid -r?"l an impartial judge. Tli*' assertion that the negro would !<?* appalled t? '"'it need b and the result w.) :1 1 he an alliince ofwhiskev dealers, j negroes an 1 II iskellite?. w i< -i :,p'y a I fa t im-d in an argument and was not the arg iment itself. This alleged fact is not disproved by the editor, but on tne ?oiitrarv it has b :en proved by ''Fair I flay.-" -j " * The Chronicle seems to think tl*?^ facts originate with the debater and ,inn evidence that they existed and had been j used before the controversy began, showed i want of originality and convicts the nser of these fart* of plagarism. Can he discover no difference between facts and ar unients based on facts? ?? The Chronicie is entitled to the prize for ifs originality in criticising thp fol lowing extract from "F*ir Flay," to wit : "The only faction in the democratic par tes, of the state is the Haskell faction." He says '"Fair Play" looks np >11 the so called Haskellit^s as Democrats, eNt they could n ?t be said to compose a fac tion of the democratic party " ''Fair Play" did not say they were a faction of the pirty, but said th?y were a faction in tlve party. They are in by the grace of the dsmo^ratic party, who permitted them, on^certain conditions, to return, after they had bolted, and participate in the democratic primaries. ' 'Fair Pla\ " did not say they were of the party. Af ter exposing the fal?e premise# of the Chronicle its argument has nothing to rest on At the risk of again being accrued of a want of orrig'nalitv. **Fair flay" will g'.te Webster's definition of "faction, to wit: *'A party in political society, com bined or acting in anion ; in opposition to the prince, government or slate*, a junto." This definiiioji miy n it be "original" with Webster, but it fully de scries the Haskell ites and it describes no other pditical org miration or com bination in the state, unless a fusion ex ist* between them and the whiskey deal ers and their allies. The refornurs are surely not considered a faction according to Webster's definition of the term. No one is so ignorant as to accuse the re formers of opposition to tlx? government i of the State. With kind personal rega-d for the edi tor and best wishes for the success of the Chronicle, this reply is dictated in the j interest of justice and Fair Play , ? - I . 1. 1893 ^ /X/_i . ^ GILT EDGE STORE K .S. * I | A \ / \ i- ^ Wishes its many customers a HAPPY NEW YEAR, trusting that will ' bring t litem greater happiness ^nd pros perity than they have ever experienced in the past. ; yQO is gone, ana with it must go the biggest bargains IOvm offered in dry goods etc., as ftNrqrrotations be low will show : Beautiful line Juicy weave Henriettas, all shades, cheap at 40e., now 33 Jc. ?30 inch broken plaid, all wool serge Flannels, formerly sold at 75c now 35c, AH wool Henriettas. 39 inch, worth 75c, now 60c.. and col ored Henriettas, 44 inch, offered now at 45c.
