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

"To what do you attribute the re

"I think Mr. Duncan's mud-Hinging
and the jealousios and antagoniams
which h?vo grown up between the Gov
ernor and eonio prominent Reformers
have contributed moro largely than
anything olso. '%ii, the issues of the

For tho first time sinoo 1868, if over

Importance in its eftccts uttd upon tho

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

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

which WOllld bo III llrtt' under fl'ro j
ouiiiago? 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

There wm something of a surprise
iu Columbia Saturday of Inst week
when it wag announced that tho dia
ponsary in oharge of Mr. T. A. Soott
had been olosed to tako stock and ver
ify the aooounta of tho disponpary. It
in said that Mr, Soruggs, of the State
dispensary, stated to the county board
that from the returns to the State dia*
pensary there was a prima facie short
age of about $1,800, and that tho mat
ter oould only be settled by an exami
nation. The county board then ordered
the dispensary in charge of Mr. Scott
to be oloaed, and it was agreed to have
the stook taken and the aocounts aud
ited. Mr. Soott . ixislnta that there is
no real shortage, and that if thero is a
shortage sjiown 'it is on account of tho
book-kee?>ing, or thrqugh some mia
take. He' saya that there is no possiblo
way for him to havo a shortage. There
are three othor dispensaries in Colum
bia.
