The State Demooratlo Exeoufcive Oomwitt^a triat in Columbia Briday to deolare the result of last Tuesday b primary, but owing to inoomplote ro tnrns and ory of fraud at Charleston, tho committee adjourned until batur .day, when they deolared the final oonnt, as follows: Total yote cast, 78, 581; for John Gary Evans 88,802; for Joe. H. JSnrle 31,092; for John T. puncau 8,337. As Governor Evavs received 027 votos less than a major ity,-^ oommitteo, aB required by the <parfy constitution, ordered a sooond State primary to dccide between Evana and Earle, which primary will be held Tuesday, September 8th. lhore had been a movo by eomo of Governor Evans' friends to have an adverso ma jority in the city of Charloston thrown ?out on account of fraud, but it was abandoned as uujubtifled by tho facts. The primary was tho fairest evor held and no contests were made. Mr. Brice, of York, moved that those candidate * who had roceived a major ity of the votos be declared tho nomi nees of tho party aud that those who received tho highest number of votes, hut not a majority, bo doolared oaudi :latcsin the secoud primary. This was ul opted without dissent. Mr. Efird movod that the nomina tion of Presidential electors be post poned until tho next meeting, whipb would Rive tho committeo obundant Mr. Owens, of Laurens, aBked that tho committeo interpret Seotion 6 of tho Constitution as t5 club rolls. Mr. Brico th.ught it ought to ?o out offloi nlly, that no now names bo added to tho club rolls previous to the second 1 'iSr'.'Wadham of Clarendon referred to conditions in his county, where some names had been left off without any fault of the voter himself, and he thought it would be unjust not to allow them to enroll their namesr Mr. Efird thought that those con ditions wero exceptions to tho general r?l p., but that the committee should certainly promulgate the law on the subject, Jt appearars that tho rules are not as explicit as the Constitution, and hence tho question arose. Mr. Stanland thought that clerical errorB should be corrected. It was thus settled that the original club rolls must be used in the second primary and no new names can be added to them. Mi. W. D. Evans called attention to the fact that in bis oounty a number of county tickets wore placed in State boxes or vice versa and they had beon counted. But he said that a man j might vots for United States Senator in two boxes purposely and he wanted to know what should be done about hi oh tickets. Mr. Eflrd hold that the rulos required that certain tickets are required to be placed in a oertain box and if they wero not properly placed they ought not to be counted. . Mr, Barnwell held that no definite resolution could be passed. If it was an undoubted oase of mistake, it should he left to tho disoretion of the managers. He thought the whole thing should be left as it is. This ?was done and the committee adjourned, after intruding the ohairman to fur uisb the nocesa*ry( tiokets for the primary. Tho committeo will meet agatu on Triday after tho next primary. TIIiLJIAN HANDS OFF. Just beforo Sonator Tillman left Columbia for hia home at Trenton, a Btate's reporter had the following in terview with h>mr-.>. "I don't consider tho people so lacking in common sense and the re alization of 1heir duty to themselves and thorNioy have honored to m>od any fcdvice or dictation from me. 2 have had nothing to do with the fight up tothis-time, and expect to take no hand in it now.

Wo must not now prove falao to our government, nor unmindful of the noble oxample and wise prooopts of our fathers or of tho confidence and trust which our conduct in tho paut has always in spired. For tho first time sinoo 1868, if over beforo, tnore is preHontod to the Amer- j loan people this year a cloar and diroci issue aa to our monetary system, of vast Importance in its eftccts uttd upon tho right settlement of which rests largely tho financial honor and prosperity of the country. It is proposed by one win# of the Democratic party and ite allies, tho Poople'a end Siivor parties, to inaugurate the free and unlimited coinage of silver by independent action on tho part of tho United States at u raiio of 16 ounce* of Bilvor to 1 ounnn of gold. Tho moro declaration of this purpose is a mouaco to onr financial and industrial interests and has already created univorsal alarm. It involves groat peril to the ^roalt and business of tho country, a peril *o grave that conservative men everywhere are breaking away from^tbeir old party ae .'ociationei and united with other patri otic oitizensin emphatic pry test againat tho platform of tno Democratic nation al convention lj an assault upou the faith and honor of tho government and ?Tolfaro of tho peoblo-*' Wo have had /ew questions in the lifetime of the re public moro serious than the one which j thus pre. ented.

We must not bo misled by phrasoa nor deluded by falao theories. Free silver Tould not mean that silver dollars were to be freely had, without, oost or labor. It would mean tho free use of tho mints of tbo United StatcK for tho few who aro owners of silver bullion, but would make silver coin no frcor to the many who are engaged in other enterprise* It would not mak? labor easier, the hours of labor shorter or' the pay better, {t^ould not mak< farming less laborious or mora profita bio.

Thoy mo to ho ol the name weight and tinenus&;thcy are to hear tho : bhiho stamp of i ttho government. Why would thfv lui^lbo of tho sumo vniuo? ; I answer: Tlio nilvoi' dollars now in ! Ubo woro ooinod on account of tho gov* ernmont and not for private account or gain nnd tho govornmont hn* solemnly ftgro^d to keep thorn an bulliou at its market value nnd coined it Into ailvet j dollars. Having exclusive control of tho mint Ago, it only coins what it can hold at a purity withhold. Theprollt, roproRonting the difference between tho oommcroi al value of tlio silvui i hullion and tho faco value of tin* j nilvor dollar, goes to tho government \ for the benefit of tho people. Tho | government bought tlio silver bullion contained in tho nilvor dollar at very much lcsH than its coinage value. It paid it out to its creditors and put it In circulation among tho peoplo at its ! face vidue of ouo hundred oeulb or a i full dollar. It required the people to ! aooopt it as a logal tender and is thus morally bound to maintain it at ft pari- j ty with gold, whioh wa? tlion, as now, i tho rocognizod Rtandard with itt ftiid ] tho moat enlightened nations in, tho j world. Tho government having issued | ftnd eiroulatod tho silver dollar, it rnuvt honor ftnd protect tho holder from loss. ' This obligation it haa so far snoredly kept. Not only is these a moral obli gation hut thoro is a legal obligation, expressed in public Btatuo to inuintain the parity. These dollars in tho particulars T hnve named are not the samo as the dollars whioh would o<> issued under lrt>e oolmufo,, They would be the name in form, i mi t diileront in vaJuo. The government would h&vo no part in the transaction, except to coin tho si Ivor I bullion into dollars. Il would Bharo in no j part of the prolit. It would take upon itself no obligation. It would not put tho dollar into olroulation. It oould Dot only get them as any citizen would get thorn by giving something for thorn. It would deliver them to those who deposited the silver and ?ts con nection with the transaction thoro ond. Such are the sljver dollars which would bo issued under 5rco colnn/'o of silver nt a ratio of 10 to 1. AVho would then maintain tlio parity? What would lcocp them at par with gold? There would be no obligation resting upon the government to do it, and (f thoro wero, It would bo powerless to do It. The simple truth is wo would bo driven to a silver basis, to silver monometallism. TIicbo dollar.", theroforo, would stand upon their real value. If tbo fro? and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of sixteen ouncos of Rilvor to ono ounce of fold would, aa somoof its advocates assert, mako Ofty-throo cents In silver worth one hundred centsand tbe silver dollar equal to the gol4 dollar, then we would bavo uo cheaper money than now, and It would bo no oasier to got. But that such would bo tho ro sult Is against reason and is contradicted by experience in all times and all lands. It mcaus the debasement of our curroncy to an amount of the difference between commercial and ooln value of the silver dollar, which Is over obanging and the eflo'". would be to ro dueo nroporty values, en'.all untold financial loss, destroy confldonco, impair the ohllKa tions of existing contracts, further Impover ish tho laborer and producers of tho country, create a panlo of unparalleled severity, and Inflict upon trado and commerce a deadly blow. Against any suob policy, I am unalter ably opposed. Bimetallism cannot bo socurod by indepen dent action on our part. It cannot be ob tiilncd by opening our mints to tbo unlimited coinage of tho silver of tho world, at a ratio of sixteen ounces of silver to one ouncd of gold, whon the commercial ratio Is more than thirty onces of sllvor to ono ounce of gold. Mexico and China have tried the experi ment. Mexico has frt-e'colnnge of silver and jgold at u ratio slightly In excess of sixteen And a hall ounces of nilvor to one ouuee of jgold, and while her mints are freely open to Ifooth metals at that ratio, not only a single (dollar In gold bullion is coined and circu lated as money. Goldi has been driven out >of circulation In these, Icon ntrics and they are pn a silvor basis alonb. Until International agreement is bad, it fa the plain duty of the United States to maintain the gold standard.. It In tho rocognizcd and sole standard of th<; greet commercial nations of the world, with which we trado more largely than any other. Eighty-four percent, of our foreign trado for the fiscal year 1895 was with gold stand ard countries and our trade with other coun ? tries was settled on trold basis. | After pointing out that the United States has now more silver than gold In circulation, JJaJ or MoKinloy continues: i On the 22d of August, 1891, in a public ad dress, I said; "It wo could have an inter national ratio, which all the leading nations o t the world would adopt, and the true re lation be fixed between the two metals and ill agree upon the quality of silver whioh should ooitstitute a dollar, then silvor would l>o as free and unlimited in its privileges of 'coinage as gold is today. But that we have not been able to seonre, and with the free and unlimited coinage of sliver adopted in .> ' the United State* at the preeent ratio, we .would be stilt further removed from any In ternational agreement. We may never be Able toseoure It If we enter upon the isolated coinage of tllver. The double standard im plies e<hiality at a ratio, and that equality oan only be established by tbe concurrent law of nations that made the double stand - fwdi It will require the concurrent law of nations to reinstate and sustain it" | The Repnbllcan party has not been, and ls; not bow, opposed to the use of silver money, : as its reoora abundantly show*- ' It has done (all that eould be done for Its Increased use Ire* ether government*, There are those who think- that it ha# already gone beyond ibe limit qt inanotal prudence.
