Comment is uni; ossary on tho fol lowing extract from the Register, It shows a deep-seated animosity .and,' to >v>at desnornto.extremities, tho opponents of tho present Dom ocratto administration are willing to.resort in order to keep tho far mers down. Tho extract reads: A drummer recently invaded a store in Edgcfiold county, and presuming that the proprietor was an anti, asked how Tillman stood in his section. Tho knight ot tho grip-suck was informed that tho farmers woro about solid for the Goyernor, aud tho only opposition to him was found in tho towns. At this information tho drummer swelled with indignation and remarked : "It's just the samo way wherever I havo been ovor tho State. But it is in the power of the hankers aud merchants to starve (hese d-d scoundrels into subjectiou, and you ought to unite and do it. Cut of their rations and you'll soon have thora cringing at your feet like dogs and begging you to "mu .?m.1' Then toll tho d-d skunks that yon will not let thom havo a peck of meal or a pound of bacon, if their families were starving, unless they sign an ob ligation and swear to vote for Shep? fard* A good many merchants that have seen intepd to do thia, and you all ought to join, in, If you can't argue sense into iheso d-d fools oiqd fanatics, >vhy cut ott their rations and starve thom into subjection. The hanks and corporations aro drawing the lines and you merchants ought to do the same," "If Tillman is not a friend to the poor man, why is it, that all the corporations are against him ?" is tho pertinent question of c(ur corre spondent fi om Otto. There is but ono answer to such a question. Tho corporations fight Tillman be cause jie is the friepd of the toiling massos and cannot bo bulldozed, flattered or seduced from defend ing popular rights. Tho copora tions are not*making war on him because of their love of the poor man. They have no love or syni pathy for honest poverty and never nave, Nb" grinding monopoly was ever actuated by sympathy for the working man and we are not liv ing in the millenial poriod-Abbe ville Medium, When tho Thirteen convention met in Columbia thoy made a great flourish about "poaco and unity" and that ufas tho cry of tho ollie o - seekers for a time. Tlioro was nothing in tho protohso. Have j'on hoard or read a'Svbrd or seen an act of tho opposition that looked at all like "peace and unity." They haVo vilified, insulted, and ' misrepresented the'oVgani^?d dem ocrats and have oven gone to blows.
