fisels that a statement is due to the
public. Those who prefer another
candidate are entitled to know his
position and those who favor his
nomination have a right to demand
an answer to the question so o'
put, 'Will you accept the nomi
tkm?" His refusal to answer the
queetien has led to the circulation of
many false reports and unfriendly
newspapers have taken advantage df
his rnlMice to misrepresent his atti

seek a nomination and he will not
assume to decide the question of his
availability. He has been

deavored to do that he cannot claim
a nomination as a reward; neither
sibuld his ambition be considered,
for he has had honor enough from
h» party to satisfy any reasonable
ambition. The only question that
ought to weigh with the party is
whether the party can be strength
ened and aided more by his nomina
tion than by the nomination of
one elae. If he can serve the par{;y
by being its candidate he will accept
the commission and make the best
fight he can. If, however, the choice

appointed or disgruntled. His av&i
ability is a question to be decided
not by him, not by a few leaders, not
even by the leading newspaper that

they are in all matters concerning

lieve that Mr. Bryan’s nomination
will help the party, its principles and
its policies, he will accept the nomi

to defeat or victory. A defeat can
bring no disgrace where the cause is
a just one, but cowardice would be
disgraceful, especially in one who is
as deeply indebted to his part of Mr.

"The next campaign will be ah ap
peal to the public conscience. The in-
vestigations have shown not only the
corrupt use of large campaign funds,
but the only source from which they
can be drawn, namely—the corpora
tions that seek to convert the Gov
ernment into a business asset. The
Democratic party stands for the doe-
trine of equal rights to all and spec
ial privileges to none, and therefore
cannot promise favors to favor-seek-
ing corporations. If it made such
promises to the corporations it would
be-guilty of duplicity, for it would
have to betray the votets as the Re
publican party has done, in order to
reward these corporations as the Re
publican party has rewarded them.
"The Democratic campaign must
be carried oft by volunteers who will
work because they desire the triumph
of Democratic ideas. We cannot
hope to appeal to the sordid or to
buy the purchable. even if such a
course would contribute toward
Democratic success. No one should
favor Mr. Bryan’s nomination-unless
the party is willing to open it books
and show where its contributions
come from and for what the money
is expended. The"Republican party
ought to be challenged to conduct its
campaign in this open and honest
way, and if the Republican leaders
refuse to accept the challenge the
Democrats can well afford to leave
the issue with the public.

The Efforts of the People of Klloree
to (Jet Rid of the Dispensary for
Past Thre*' Years Recalled.
■ r ...... ' - -
- At_a. meeting of ttre-Oraffgeburg
county dispensary board, held on
Wednesday, it was agreed to reopen
the dispensary at Elloree. Mr. John
W. Berry, for several years a well
known merchant of Orangeburg and
now doing business at Elloree, 4jp«
been elected dispenser and is dispos
ing of his mercantile business so as
to devote all of his time fft maw
agement pf the dispensary. „
We have seen no statement from
the tjoard as to why the dispensary
will be re-established, but we do noi
believe the board would force the
dispnsary on the town unless a ma
jority .had. asked for it. JWe* have
heard that the boar had numerous
requests to reopen the Elloree dls
pensary so sent a representative
there to ascertain the-wtshea of the
people and-ftis report showed a ma
jority df the citizens of the town as
desiring to see the. dispensary re.-ett •
tabllshed.
It s, a,Iso stated on authority that
the well known fact of there being
several blind tigers in the Elloree
section, had nothing to do wiih tlH
decision of the board to reestablish
the dispensary. They say they wort
is greeted with applause, and it
looks as if a stand is going to be
made for the. principles of the fath
ers of the republic. But just as the
figltt begins to take shape the chief
shouters go up to the White House
to make terms and the President
takes a new lease of power.”
Now, according to the Post, "that
is just what has been happening re
cently. Mr. Morgan, it is said in
Washington, has been visiting the
WhiteiHoyse by night for conference
with Mr. Roosevelt, and Mr. Gary
and Mr. Frick have gone up boldly PB . --- .. . .

ie New York World reports that
the President is a changed man even
in appearance, as thoie who saw him
as he passed through New York on
election day are prepared to testify
The events of the past two weeks in
the financial world,” says The World,
"have had remarkable effect upon
Mr. Roosevelt. The crash of banks,
the cry of strangled business, the
frightened hoarding of money have
deeply impressed him. If final argu-
f meat were needed to complete the
remarkable change in the nation’s
chief executive, it was furnished by
the sight of Manhattan’s besieged
sky scrapers of finance as his tugboat
passed by the foot of Wall street and
skirted the Battery.”
"No doubt,” says the Post, that
is a true depiction. Mr. Roosevelt is
an emotional man, and he would
very likely look upon the frightened
herds of New York’s speculators as
typefying panic in all the land, and
think thatwas locking upon the
ruins of aft’empire wrought by his all
powerful word. That is the idea that
the financiers are trying to cultivate
in him, and they are succeeding, no
doubt. It is.said that Mr. Root has
the President’s ear again, and we
know from what sources Mr. Root
This hascome - It would even be possible

attacks upon wealth were becoming
unpopular, and if that could be done
there would be an end of them.”

New York, New Jersey, Connecti
cut, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and
California. Ohio divided her elec
toral vote and Massachusetts elect
ed a Democratic governor. The
Democrats elected a large majority
of the House of- Representative
and the Senate was also Democratic
This all happened m the election o
1892, when Cleveland was electee
the second time, t
Cleveland was inaugurated March
4, 1893, and for the first time since
the war the Democrats were in com
olete control of the legislative am
executive departments of the gov
ernment. What did Cleveland do
with this grand victory. He was
elected on a tariff reform platform
but instead of carrying out his
pledges to the people, he cal let
Congress in extra session and fas
tened thq gold standard upon the
country^! payment to Wall Street
for the mdney it had freely contri
buted to his campaign fund,
was in direct violation of the plat
form upon which he was elected as
it declared for bi-metalism and tar
iff reform. This base betrayal of
the people by Cleveland was' what
wrecked the Democratic party.
ThTS94 the biennial elections came
on and the people were called on to
endorse or repudiate Cleveland, who
was then in the middle of his sec
ond term. Did the people endorse
Cleveland and his administration?
No, They repudiated him and his
people
and they rebuked him in the severest
manner. The States qf New York,
New Jersey. Connecticut, Mas^|-
chusetts. Indianna, Wisconsin and
California, aH of which had been
carried by the Democrats in 1892,
were carried by the Republicans ill
1894 by large majorities. Even the
Southern States of Delaware. Mary
land, West Virginia and Kentucky
repudiated Cleveland and his admin
istration by going Republican.
It must be remembered, that all
these States were carried by the
Democrats in 1892. The Republi
cans also carried the Hbuse, the
Democrats elected fewer members
in 1894 than they had elected in
many years. The Post tries to cre
ate the impression that these States
were lost to the Democratic party
by reason of Bryan’s leadership,
when as a matter of fact they were
lost to the Democrats two years be
fore Bryan’s leadership began, and
when Cleveland had only served two
y a ftw voices calling out in the
wilderness. He seems to be practi
cally certain of the nomination of his
party for President, because no in

has the courage of his convictions,
however uncertain his convictions
may be. and he is unhampered by

administration as no president had actual obligation to the great mon-

and that their sole reason fpr reopen
ing the dispensary was the expressed
trust without interj^renee by the *dali of a majority of the-Elloree eft
government, and they are all saying
smooth things about him, as they
come away satisfied that they may
have their way for a while.
"Mr. Roosevelt is considerably
tamed. He doesn’t like to be point
ed to as the destroyer of prosperity,
and the captains of finance have
al>out persuaded him that the specu
ators’ panic is a genuine chill of na
tional industry. They have moved
the President to revise his message
to Congress and it is said that the
dooumept will be very mild in its re
commendations of legislation rela
tive to the corporations. Further
more it is promised that the cam-
izens that they do so.
It can hardly lie true-that over the

in Elloree. the county dispensary
board has decided to place the dis
pensary back in that town, as stated
by.the CSolumbia State. We are sat
isfied that if a majority of the peo
ple of Elloree do not want the dis
pensary that the "dispensary board
will not force it on them. Possibly
the board has been deceived about
the matter. If that is the case the
matter can easily be arranged as
soon as the trite facts are brought to

decided to order the place closed.
However, the dispenser, J. M
Weeks, brought action before the su

reopen on the ground that the Brie*
law had been violated and that under
that law the board had no right to
close any dispensary, where the coun
ty retained the institution as a whole,

close ali dispensaries when, under thr

Roosevelt would shout most lustily
: 'or him to save them from Mr. Bry
an if there should appear even a pos

ence.
"So. it will depend upon whether
the appetite of the people for radi
calism has been appeased as to
whether or not Mr. Roosevelt and
Mr. Bryart are to pass from the stage
next year and make way for more
quiet performers. If jt be reaspn-
abiy certain that the Democrats will
nominate Mr. Bryan at the time the

leadership of the Democratic party
began in 1896, two years after Cleve
land had wrecked the party almost
beyond resurrsection. The fact that
Bryan revived the party and brought
out under KIs leadership the largest
vote it ever polled in a presendential
.election proves that he is a match
less leader, and worthy of the con
fidence and support of the people.—

sighs point to the gathering of a for
midable following after him, the
Morgans and the Garys and the
Frick, and the Harrimans, who are
practical men, and even the Harveys,
perhaps, who can be persuaded to
reasonably practical views, may lead
the cry for Mr. Roosevelt to take the

of the majority, a petition, signed by
nearly every taxpayer An the tnwnahlp
In y^hich the town is located, was
presented to the l>oard.
Since then, however, according
Rev. John -A. Brunson, one of the
leaders in the fight to keep the dispen
sary away, others have been at work
for the dispensary and the decision
of the Orangeburg- board means that
soirie legal steps will be taken to
keep it closed and—should there be
no section in the present law war
ranting this—that an amendment
will be introduced at the next session
of the general assembly making- it
possible.
The contention that a county board
has no right to close any plac# open
at the time of the passage of the
Garey-Cothran act is easily overcome
by the paragraph giving county
boards authbrity to fix the salaries
of dispensers. A salary of $1 per
year would rhake it impossible to se
cure a dispenser. This advice was
given by a State official once, unoffi
cially.
We are very , certain that the'dis
pensary board have no disposition to
force the dispensary on Elloree, if a
majority of the people there Sre not
In favor of It. Let the niattef be
thoroughly canvassed for and against
and then let a vote be taken of the
qualified voters on the subject and
see how the matter stands. Take a
vote, so as each man can vote his
opinion. In that way the wishes of
the people can be had, and in no
other way. Somq men may be in
favor of the dispensary but do not
care to herald their request to the
world by-signing a petition to rees
tablish it, and the same may be said
of some-who oppose its reestablish
ment.
