KIMPTON writes from Montreal
that he is an honest man. Why does
he not come to Columbia and repeat
that? I
Counbia.
Columbia redeemed herself on
Monday, the Democratic municipal
ticket being elected without opposi..
tion. This is most gratifying, not
only to the city, but to the Stato at
large. During all the days of Re
construction Columbia was a den of
political infamy. The carcass was
there, and the vultures gathered
together. Big thieves and little
thieves, white thieves and black
thieves and ginger-broad thieves,
flocked thither in swarms, and their
crimes ranged in degree from the
subtle manipulation of the Stato
credit to barefaced, unblushing high
way robbery. It was the paradise
of political pariahs and beastly bui.
mers. These miscreants, not con,
tent with plundering the State, fell
afoul of Columbia itsel', and gutted
the city. The taxpayers and Demo
crats were crushed to the earth, and
saw their property stolen while
powerless to defend themselves.
Two years ago a desperate effort
was made to stein the tide, but it
was only partially successful. Now,
however, Columbia is again sitting
clothed and in her right mind. Her
new mayor, Capt. W. B. Stanley,
needs no encomium. His sterling
integrity, inflexible patriotism and
personal popularity are known
throughout the State. Columbia
can well be congratulated on her
good fortune. The alderinanic
ticket is a representative one, and
will consult the interests of the city
and the pooplo. Thus is the last
vestige of Radicalism disappearing
from South Carolina.
The- County Democracy.
The convention held on last
Saturday was most gratifying, both
in numbers and personnel, and in
the business that was transacted.
The County Executive Committee
had paved the waiy for this by sub
mitting a well digested report; and
the circumstance that the constitu
t'oni proposed was5 adop ted wvithout
a single amendment, wh'Iilo the
sobeme for the p)rimuary election was
altered by merely supplying one or
two slight omissions, speaks well
for the fidelity and ability with
which the delicate task had been
performed. The harmony charac
terizing the proceedings is due
largely to the wisdom of the p)arty
in perfecting its organization be
fore an opportunity offers for
diverse interests to cause a clash in
matters of general legislation.
Later in the campaign, after can
didates had come into the field, it
would have been impossible to
frame a constitution that would not
have evoked opposition, because
t hwartin g some personal scheme.
This was demonstrated last summer.
By previously prescribing rules,
howeover, under which all must
comne, and by leaving no loophole
for a reasonable objection to the
nomination, the party has practi
cally rendered itself invincible.
Every p)recaution has been taken to
secure the unmistakable voice of
the majority, and that accomplish.
ed, any eaviling will be correctly.
ascribed to sore .headedness or
disappointed ambition on the part
of defeat,ed aspirants.
The adoption of the primary
system was a long stop towards
victory. Its advantages appear
more conspicuous as its workings
are better known. Briefly, the
plan adopted in F~airfleid is as fol
lows: At some time before the gen
oral election, the County Committee
will order an election to nominate
candidates, to be held at each club.I
Thbree managers are appointed, one
by the Execu ive Committee, one by
the club itself, and one by its presi
dent, thus securing a diversity of
interests in the broad. -On the dav.
appointed the polls will be opened,
in each clhib, from twelve to
four o'clock, when each member,
pledging himsolf to abide by the
nomination, votes directly for his
choice for every office to be filled.
No candidate shall be voted for
who does not pledge himself to
abide by the nomination. The
votes are counted at each club, and.
the result is. aggregated by the
County Executivo Committee.
Those who receive a majority of
the votes cast are declared candi
dates. When no one has received
a majority, the two highest on the
list for each oflico will be voted for
by the clubs on the following
Saturday, and whichever of the two
receives a majority is declared the
candidate. There is no chance for
swapping off, or log -rolling. Who
over really has the support of a
majority of the members of tho
party becomes the nominee. If any
one fails, it is because he cannot
command a majority. No new man
can be sprung upon the peoplO.
They will know for weeks ahead all
the possible candidatos, and can
deliberately make their selection.
This gives every candid-ito an equal
showing, and the defeated aspirants
can only grieve that they had not
enough votes to put tliei in. No
unfairness can be justly charged.
The preliminaries havinig been ar
rangod, the political ball is now open
ed. It only remains for the subordci
nato clubs to perfect their organi
z-ttion. This done, the candidates
c.m b brought out, and their
woild-bo doar constituents can
give thom a critical examination
before deciding upon their respec
tive merits.
TH E MUNICIIPA, ELE11CTIO\.
Jlessrs. Editors :--Permit me
through your columns to state, for
the information of the public, that
the ofiicial announcement of the
result of the municipal election held
on the 1st instant is hereby with

day been served with a protest

YOUTH 'S. OLD AGE.
.Mesrs. Editors :-The subject
of this communication suggests a
multitude of thoughts and ideas,
mad to be treated abstractly wvould
3:11 forth all the reoureces of a deep
b'ainker. 1)r tihe purp1oses of t'he
writer it is only deomed necessalry
to handle it practically. In these
peculiar times it so happens that
gray hairs have come to be regarded
1s synonomous with wisdom, wvhile
the title of young nu n is rather one
of reproalch. And it also0 ha1ppensl,
MIessrs. Editors, that in Winnsboro
we have a small cicele o f "patriarchis"
who enni so0 no0 goodl thing in young
maon, b)ut rather look upon them as
the pests .) society, and also as
reratod espe.cially to annoy0 and
worry tihe "old folks." Thoe same
"patriarchs' seem to take great um
brage at any young mani who has the
mnmhood and independence to get
up~ ini public assemblies and expre:s5
his op)inions . Such an one, say
they, is an upstart, and must be put
dlown, and thley characterize it as a
very great outrage if tihe views of
younlg meni moect with p)opular favor.
The idea of two or thlroo "upstarts,'
they also say, trying to mould
public sentiment and give direction
to poli,tics, is perfectly horrible, and
beyond endurance. They cry aloud
for deliverance from suich tyranny,
and literally foam at the mouth in
dleclaimuing against an invaLsionl of
thoiri prerogatives, so..cal led. If
t'aese men only know how pitiable a
figuro they cut, how ridiculous they
make themselves, and how much
amusement they afford( the young
"upstarts," they would doubtless
take a difforent view of the subject.
It is a matter for congratulation,
Messrs. Editors, that the number
of old men, to whom special refer
ence is made, is exceedingly limited
in our comnuniniby. They will1
doubtless be recognized without
calling their names. Seriously, they
appear to consider it presuinptuous
in young mon to have opinions of
their own, muel) less-expre~ss them,
and in order not to give ofTanso,
young mon should, from their stand
point of roasoning, be only figure
heads in society and politics. Such
notions do not comport with the
progress of modern times. It is
neither a crime nor a reproach to
be a young man. Old fogyisn has
"played out," and is beyond rosusci
tation. Self-constituted oracles
among men are universally regarded
as hu,abugs, and notably so in
Winnsboro. Old ago will always
recoive the rcipect duo to it, but it
must assume the place assigno.l to
it by an inexorable fate. Old men
frequently are very loath to surreu
dor their stations in public life, and
hold on to them with a tenacity
both surprising and unreasonable.
When young men step upon the
stage in the great drama of life,
these old "codgers" (no disrespect
intended) shake their heads and
whisper evil forebodings. And
when young men, led on by youthful
enthusiasm and ardor, assort their
opinions, and throw themselves
actively into the arona of public
afltirs, t.ey re wo i oly censure
and condemnation, an-1, as is the
caso in Winnsboro, are characterized
as "upstarts." Unfortunately for
the community, there are men in
it who have allowed themselves to
think that they are the community,
and that in them is found all man
nor of wisdom : that they alono are
capable of di: ccting the grave
tfitirs of state, and that unless
their peculiar notions prevail, the
country is irretrievably lost. While
it is unfortunate that we have such
lmong us, and while recognizing
their claims upon our sympathy, we
leem it equally fortunate for the
'om1mnunity that the shallow preton
tions of such are so glaring and so
)alpable, and that their "true in
wvardness" is not concealed from
)ulblic gaze.
It is a well established fact that
outh is aggressive, and that ordi
>ary obstacles do not impede its
)rogress. It is a wise provision of
mture that such is the case. There
bhould not be any collision or con
iiet between youth and old age, and
,here will not be, provided one
dces not encroach upon the domain
:f the other. The indiscretions
)F youth are probably no m.re rep
:ehensible than the follies of old
ige, and both are the fruits of man's
lepravity. The young and tho 2hd
tre mutually dependent upon one
mother, and both should be mutual
y forbearing. .The experience of
)ld men serves as a good check
flpon the thoughtless enthusiasm of
~outhi.
Lastly. Messrs. Editors, it is a
~reat mistake for a young man to
n ppose an old1 man to be a fool,
mud vice versa. JuvENs.

thoulght then, and I think now that
he (lid violence i.. ia m'.diments
of straightout Democracy, and went
beyond any pledges which I hoard

ho aLppoitedO Gleavos, the vile,

infernally infamous, Chamberlain

justice, I said thon, and say now,
that lie temporarily lowered the
standard of Democracy by depart
ing from one of the bedt max ins
inscribed npon its folds, -which
teaches, "That hones~ men, andc
honest men only, shall. be selected
to fill official positiont." When the
Lagislature, through. what I now
believe to have beer. the influence
of Governor Hampton-and that in
the face of a palpale article of the
constitution to .the contrary
seated the dirty.. thievish black
guards of the 1M.fokey -House, I
atsked, "In God's amo are these
the fruiits of D ocratie victory,

and meagro resources of our op
presed and poverty stricken poo
pe '?" When again, Mr. Chairman,
the good citizens of this county by
means of memorial, protest, contest,
an alleged bigamy case, and in
every other way possible, prayed a
Democratic Legislature not to. seat
the member, Prince Martin, who
was known to be the most corrupt
and scoundrolly Radical in the
State, and found themselves check
mated, as I believe, by Governor
Hampton, I cried aloud then, and
I repeat it to-day, that a flagrant
outrago was perpetrated upon
Demnocracy, generally, and a duep
indignity thrust upon the people of
this county especially.
But, sir, despite all this, and
more that can be alleged, I honor
and love this man I know, per -
sonally, that he possesses those
magnetic attributes head and
heart which will overrndeAr hin
to this poople, and which will keep
the honor of the old Palmetto State
and the welfare of its citizens
upperllmost in his mind. Having
said this iuch, which consistency
re(uired that I should say, I shall
vote heartily for the resolutions,
and shall stand prepared to go
forth, at any moment, in the new
campaign, as of old, in obedience to
orders from headqu.rters.
