The following is a part of a speech
delivered by Senator Tillman at Manning
last Friday:
There is a matter of deep interest
which will come up for discussion and
settlement in the coming May convention,
and as I am the representative
of the Democracy of this State
upon the national committee it may
not la: Improper for mo to express my
views on it and to inform you as to
the sentiment and feel inn of the
Democrats in Washington on the subject.
The Democratic party in South
Carolina has occupied a peculiar position
for 25 years. The whites are in
the minority in this State and under
the reconstruction dispensation there
were some !t.r>,000 more negro voters
than whites. The consequence was
that after the overthrow of the earpet
bag government in 1 s 7 <? we
adopted a system of party government
and the white people of the State
were educated in the employment of
political methods that ohtianed hardly
anywhere else. We have had an "imperlum
In impcrio" or a government
within a government. Democracy lias
meant white supremacy, and Kcpuhlicanism
meant negro equality. Tlie
necessity for white unit y overshadowed
the other considerations and the Democrats
of the State were taught that
submission to the will of the majority
and loyal support of the nominees of
the party were paramount to all other
considerations.
The lamented Hampton taught us
that an "Independent was worse t han
a radical." Like all of his actions and
utterances in those trying days that
advice was the very essence of wisdom
and patriotism. His clear judgment
?his most distinguishing characteristic?saw
the danger to the State, of
a Democracy split, into factions and
appealing to the colored vote. And l
take this occasion to say that no other
living South Carolinian more willingly
or gladly pays tribute to his leadership
or has a better realization of t he
invaluable services to his people and
the State rendered by this great man
in '7(>.
II AOi: LM I VOiCl'Vlov-m

It was only after the revolution of
1890 that there was anything like freedom
of political utterance and action.
The convulsion which brought this
about also brought with it an attempt
on the part of those who were In the
minority to withstand the popular
will; and some of those who had been
most clamorous for party regularity
and submission to the dictates of a
convention In selecting candidates
l>oltcd and ran Judge llaskcll for governor.
The Haskell movement was
Iwvsed largely on personal opposition to
ine, and there was never any question
in regard to the loyalty of those who
supported Judge Haskell to the general
principles of Democracy in the nation.
Following the independent action
of the the llaskellltes came the
rebellion of those who voted against
Cleveland for Weaver in '92, amounting
to some 2,000 or more white vot es,
mainly in Pickens and Oconee counties.
Then in MM there was another
rebellion on account of the adoption
of the "Colleton plan." Dr. Pope ran
as an Independent candidate for governor
and received several thousand
white votes. So there have been
three attempts to resist the will of
the organized Democracy speaking
through regular channels. In each of
these instances those who had broken
foalty with their fellows and who
failed to support the nominee of the
party as they had pledged, at the primaries
to do were forgiven and admitted
back to fellowship without
any question. In each case those who
resisted tlie will of the party of course
felt justified In acting independently,
but they were private soldiers so to
speas and the desire of our people for
continued fellowship and good will
amnn^ the whites prevented their expulsion
from the party. Now
we arc confronted with a different
condition of atTairs. The
new constitution adopted in 1895 has
eliminated for the present the negro
majority. The number of negroes
eligible to vote docs not exceed 15,000,
but it is constantly increasing and
there may be a good many thousand
who are not registered who would be
eligible to registration. There have
!>een in the recent past evidences of
Republicanism cropping out in South
Carolina in various directions. There
Is no doubt wo shall soon have a white
Republican party appealing to these
negro voters. The action of one of
your United States senators in advocating
Republican doctrines and voting
with that party on all essential measures,
contending all the while that he
is a Democrat and that lie lias the
right to detlne what Democracy means
has brought things to a focus. The
l>emocratlc party In. South Carolina,
and It Ik well understood that the St ate
is overwhelmingly Democratic, has a
right to be honestly represented in the
senate and In the house and in fact I
do not believe t he Democrats of the
State would intentionally and willingly
elect any man to any olllcc whose
Democracy was unsound if they knew
it. Our present danger is Kepublicanlsm
in the disguise of Democracy.
Therefore the question has been raised
and It is now an issue and it must be
settled as to wliat constitutes Democracy
and who shall define it. It is contended
that wc should leave the primary
juntas it is and make no new
rules and regulations to prevent a recurrence
of the election of a man or
men whose Democracy does not tally
with that of the national party. We
are urged to permit every man to vote
who will take the pledge, and not to
require of the candidates any other
pledge than the one now in rorcc. To
the first proposition there can )>c
? ?
Icltous about the I'diik mid lllo, at i
east I do hoi think the time ha* yet n
nine when we musl drive out ??f the v
party Individuals who will pledge e
themselves t<? support the nominees, i
^tate and national, though they may |
be disloyal. It would be manifestly d
unfair to penult llcpuhlicuns to vote I
ina D unoeratie primary, thereby en- a
dangcrlng, if they were in suilleient v
nu in hers, t in Qelect ion of a genuine s
Deinociai as aya list some mugwump i
or traitor. I do not think, however, r
I here are enough avowed Itepublleans y
who will take the oath to make it nee- i
essary to trace their records back to i
the preceding Noveuiher election and \
see whether they voted as they pledged |
t hcmsclves or not. s
TO ltKOl'I..NTH CANOIDATK8. '
It may in time become necessary to '
use tlie regist ration lists at the legsil !
election to purify the clut) lists, but 1
we cannot well make the rules so ex- *
acting that we.will bar out men who
want to act independently in merely
local mat ters. The fact that our light ^
is in l.lie primary and not at the legal (
election and therefore hardly half of s
tlu* I >einocrat ic votes are ever polled '
at the legal election, would make it '
ditlicult to devise a scheme to prove '
who had or who had not supported the 1
"nominees of the party." I will not ]
therefore discuss that phase of the
subject, but it is a matter of vital ne- t
eesslty that we. should make eandi- !
dates dctine their attitude and give 1
explicit pledges as to their actions
while in otllce. Senator MeLaurin was
charged with Republicanism in 11is v
race in the primary of 't?7, hut he de- ,
nled it bitterly and I thought tie was j
honest.. 1 le denies it st ill, hut hisut- (
teranees now are all in endorsement of the
Republican policy, and his votes j
tally with 11is speeches. We must
have revision of the pledge given by [
candidates which will make it impossi- ,
tile for any honorable man not a l>emo- (
crat to secure t he nominal Ion if we are ,
to keep the party from being slabbed j
in the hack and not. have a repetition |
of the present disgraceful state of af- |
fairs. At tills time South Carolina ,
really has no voice In shaping public
matters in the senate, or if she has a |
voice the votes of the two senators sire (
nearly always on opposite sides of siny |
I^ivon proposition. This is something |
tliiit docs not obtain in any other
I lemocratic State and I know of no (
way l?y which we can guard against a s
recurrence of this condition, except to ,
re<iuire a 11 candidates for the senate, .
State oil leers, congressmen and other (
posit ions of honor and trust to pledge ,
faith iind loyalty to the doctrines and (
principles of tlie party as announced ,
In State and national conventions.
This will leave their status as far as
it can he devised in words absolutely
known. Senator MeLaurin is no longer (
a factor in dealing with tlds question. '
lie is simply an illustration of what '
might happen again under the present '
loose regulations. While his actions s
have shown the necessity for a revis- N
ion of tlie pledge to l>e given by candi- 1
dates, the party can act without con- '
sideling his case at all. It is even (le- 1
sirahlc t hat he Is; given an opport unity. 1
to go before, the people and let them ^
show Iiiin how they feel about his I
treachery. The revised pledge can he '
required of all other l>einoerats with- L
out any charge of persecution or nor- '
sonal applieat ion. 'This is important for j
the future welfare of the party, let him '
run if lie desires to face the people and 1
lie elected if he can get the votes, if
he can win in the primary after his
record is set before the people lie can 1
win much easier as an independent if *
lie is denied admission. We do not s
want to he unjust to him or to his fol- s
lowers. !
If the Democracy of South Carolina '
wants to put none but Democrats on s
guard it must decide the Democracy 1
of each candidate by rcquiringa pledge ?
in writing that will delineclcarly what
the candidates' opinions are and a solemn
pledge to stand by t hoseopinions. j
Of course men may sign a pledge and (
then deceive the people afterwards, ^
hut we owe it to our fellow Democrats ^
of the country to at least safe-guard
our Democratic primaries as far as '
possible.
TWO CAMPAIGN I'AKTIKH. t
There is one other subject connected 1
with party policy that demands serious
consideration. The large number of can- 1
didates who seek the various State c
olllces and congressional and senator- '
ial honors-render it impossible in one .
(lay for those candidates to have even
a respectful or decent hearing. Any s
man who is lit, to ho governor or sen- s
ator cannot discuss public questions in
any intelligent way if his time is (
limited. Some plan must be devised J
by which those candidates, who till
the really important offices and who
will shape and control affairs, must be
given sntlleicnt opportunity to make
the people understand whether or not
they are competent. Many of the positions
which are sought are largely
ministerial and the duties are well defined
and these officers cannot change
or shape public policy in any material
degree. There is no good excuse or
reason why seven or eight candidates
for railroad commissioner and lf> or 20
for the other State offices shall he given
time at a State campaign meeting
or so little time <ts to merely get up
and make their how. In the iasf State
i*!i nvawu il i'n,.nl,.n/l 4 '
............ iv iuniui live nours |
for the respective candidates to speak, ,.
allowing only thirty minutes for the
candidates for governor and ten minutes
for the others, not counting t he
candidates for United States senate <
who usually came last. The limita- |
tion on the time of the candidates for t
the important ofllees if it i>e continued |
will absolutely destroy all Interest in i
the State campaign meetings, and tin- (
ally destroy the primary system itself; \
and I am strongly of the opinion that ^
It would lie well, indeed necessary, to ]
have two campaign days in each connty,
say six weeks or two months apart |
at which certain specitied candidates t
shall address the people. The sug- e
gcstlon lias been made that there ought j
to lie a limitation on the number of ^
meetings to one in each congressional
district. This will never do, liecause
the people are ent itled to sec and hear
the men who seek their votes and if 1
such a system were adopted there K
would lie few, if any citizens at such s
meeting other than those who live in t
the county where the meeting is held. "

Ilirds Tliui Trap Snake*. \
lii the southern part of California ;J
there is a st range bird called the road
runner. Kew birds can lly better than |
Litis one. hut rarely does lie ever rise
front t he ground, and t hen only when q
hard pressed* lie prefers to escape
front man or beast by running, and as '|
lie can easily out run the swiftest horse I
11is speed saves him from all his cue- (i
niies. The male bird is not larger
than a commoq barnyard rooster, and I
his feathers are as gavly colored as
those of the peacock. The I ten is of
dark brown sagebrush color. The .
road runner lias one mortal enoim
r
the rat tesnake. This reptile is fond |.
ot devouring the road runner's eggs
whenever iI ironies across a nest in the
sageburush. I in t the road runners often
have opport unities of revenging
themselves. Whenever they come
across a sleeping rattlesnake, sunning; (.
himself on a warm rook, they immedt- (
ately prepare a trap lor his dest rue- u
tion. Prickly pears abound in those t
regions. 'The road runners, generally H
a pair, at once lie-in picking up the '
spiny covered leave of this plant and
piling t hem ahout t he sleeping snake ^
In a circle. When their work is com- (
I leted they give their enemy a few '
peeks toawaken him, and then retire v
to watch the result, in vain the rat- h
tlcsnakc tries to escape. The ring of
prickly leaves holds him a prisoner.
At every move he makes the spines
prick him, until at last in despair lie
turns, hites himself and dies. Travel- 1
ers often come across these circles ot ''
dried leaves, with the dead snake in ''
the centre. At lirst no white man 1
would believe the Indian tales of this ,l
strange method t he road runners cm- 1
ployed in killing their mortal enemy, K
but they have since heen oliserved in .'

ists. who have corohorated the stories '
