that his defeat was the result of hla
tariff views and that he knew that
his defeat was a foregone conclusion,
and yet he did not hesitate to go
down in defeat deliberately sacrific
ing himself on the altar of principle,
and thus the seal of greatness was
forever graven on his brow. That his
greatness wag recognized by the
American people was fulJy demon
strated when he was triumphantly
elected a second time in 1892. Since
the retirement of Mr. Cleveland the
Democratic party has never succeed
ed in electing its candidate. The
statesmen of the party have looked
to Mr. Cleveland for advice on all the
great questions of the hour, and it is
a matter of history that in many
cases where they failed to follow his
advice the result has been disaster-
ous to the party. As was to be ex
pected, Mr. Cleveland made numbers
of enemies who did not hesitate to
slander and traduce him, but they
never succeeded in detracting from
his greatness, and he will go down
in history as one of the greatest men
whom America has ever produced.
GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT.
JUDGE HYDRICK.
Judge Daniel E. Hydricb, who is
presiding over the present term of
this court, for the first time since he
was elevated to the bench, has de
monstrated that he is one of the best
judges ii the State. He let the fact
be known in n 0 uncertain terms upon
the convening of court Monday morn
ing that he expected to run the court,
and that delay due to the carelessness
of the officers of the court or witness
es would not be tolerated. That his
words were heeded, is evidenced by
the fact that there has been no de
lay on this account since, and conse
quently the business of the court is
being conducted with system and dis
patched. In his rulings Judge Hy-
drick shows a profound knowledge of
the law. and a desire to admisinster
justice in its higest and noblest sense.
While it is evident that he does not
look upon juries (as some of the
foreign nations do) as the represen
tatives of popular justice, yet his in
structions to them are to find their
verdict in accordance with the facts
advanced and to always, in every
case, give the accused the benefit of
any reasonable doubt which they
may have of his'guilt. We are of the
opinion that when the general as
sembly elected Judge Hydrick to the
judgeship they builded wisely and
well, and if all the judges were as
good as he, there would be less criti
cism of the conduct of the courts in
South Carolina.

GROVER CLEVELAND.
Grover Cleveland is dead! and in
hi s death America has lost the great
est man who has lived for the last
one hundred years. In the fall of
1884, Mr. Cleveland was elected presi

cupy the presidential chair since
Jameg Buchannan’s time, a period of
twenty-four years. After serving four
years Mr. Cleveland was defeated in
1888. and it is a matter of history

Recommendation* Made at the T«rm
Just Closed-
To His Honor, Judge D. E. Hydrick,
Presiding Judge:
Having completed our duties for
this term of the court of general ses
sions, we desire to submit the fol
lowing:
1. We tbanl: your honor for the
courtesy and consideration shown to
us. and for the clear, able and in
structive charge delivered to us on
the first day of the term. Your in
structions have enlightened us as to
ou r duties, and given us, as well as
all others who heard them, a high
conception of the duties and respon
sibilities resting upon all persons
who have an interest in the enforce
ment of and obedience to law.
2. At the last term of court, under
the instruction of the presiding judge,
the special report of the committee
appointed by the governor to investi
gate the county offices was submitted
to us to investigate and to take such
action upon as we found proper. The
matter was referred by us to a sub
committee composed of A. X. Wood.
Thompson Robbs and Wnv Phillips,
who have reported to us the result
of their inquiries. This report aas
been read and examined by us and
our report thereon is submitted
separately. We had not then before
us the report of J. P. Derham on the
eonditimi of the treasurer’s office, and
we recommended strongly that 'some
steps be taken to require Mr. Derham
to file his report or if this fails, then
that our representatives take such
action in the general assembly as
will result in a thorough investigation
of the condition of that office.
3. The report of W. W. Gaffney,
treasurer, submitted by him to the
court, shows the county’s finances to
be in good condition. The report is
nicely arranged from a mechanical
point of view and appears to be ac
curate.
4. The condition of the county poor
house and farm is good. The super
intendent has been faithful in his du
ties. The unfortunate poor are well
cared for and fed. and seem to be as
well satisfied with their condition as
their circumstances permit.
5. The county jail is kept in good
condition. There is no cause of com
plaint in its management.
G. The county chaingang is in good
shape. We find no ground for criti
cism except that we recommend that
the convicts he kept together, and not
allowed to leave or to go home on
Saturdays. If such privileges are
permitted, then the punishment In
tended by law fails.. The law is not
properly • administered when convicts
are allowed to go free. We recom
mend that no man be employed as
guard of the chaingang unless a man
of good character and sobriety.
7. It has been reported to us that
dead animals are hauled out of the
town of Gaffney and deposited near
the public road leading from Gaffney
to the Old Post road, just outside of
the corporate limits of the town. The
stench caused thereby, and the danger
of disease, and inconvenience to the
public occasioned thereby, makes
this practice a nuisance. We recom
mend that the town of Gaffney dis
continue the same, and provide a
crematory or burial ground for such
carcases.
In conclusion, we thank the officials
of the court and county who have as
sisted us in any way in the discharge
of our duties.
Respectfully submitted,
A. N. Wood,
Foreman.

Discussing Currency Plans.
(News and Courier, June 23"T™
The discussion of the currency
question by the candidates for United
States Senator is an excellent sign
of the timeg for the obvious reason
that the currency is not. a partisan
question and contributions to it are
welcome in congress, whether they
come from Republicans or Democrats.
While a South Carolina Democratic
Senator qmst be soundly informed on
the tariff and other party issues, it is
plain that he can accomplish no great
things in regard to them unless the
Democrats he in the majority. A De
mocrat informed about the tariff
would be able to strengthen his party
in debate, but he would not be able
to offe r a suggestion likely to be
favorably received by a Republican
majority, when the tariff is mention
ed in congress, Democrats and Repub
licans instantly draw their weapons.
On the financial or currency ques
tion, the division on party lines is not
so clear and sharp. When the Al-
drick-Vreeland bill was under discus
sion two or three weeks ago, Mr.
Bryan telegraphed Democratic Sen
ators advising them to support the
contention of Senator LaFollette, a
Republican. Republicans in the house,
under the leadership of Representa
tive Fowler, differed widely from Re
publicans in the senate, and Gen.
Sherwood, a Democrat from Ohio, an
nounced early in the session that he
would vote for any measure offering
relief, regardless of the party pro
posing it.
It follows that the senator about to
be elected from South Carolina, who-1
