'RE NEWS AND l[ERALD. r W1NNSBORO, 8. C. P. ,4r. HJtrut, 1l J. Q. DAVIH, 1'I OrZtIITons. F, M. IltIOE, s : : : Editor Tuesday, May 15, : : ; 1888 For Congress. General John Irattonl has been nominated by Richland friends as a t candidatb for a seat in Congress. Ills nomination has been favorably spoken of by papers' outside of his district. The high character borne by Qon. Bratton and his unswerving dcvotion to the best4nterests of South Carolina are suflielont to show that should he bo.selected to represo.nt the district it would redound to the welfare of his district and the whole of South Caro lina. Gen. Brdt ton has never sought ,offlce, but has filled positions of honor and trust most acceptably to the State, and filled an unexpired term in Con gress. In thli Instance, indeed, his can'didacy is the spontaneous outburst of an admiring constituen cy, which prompted them to bring his name before the public for such a position. 'Fairfleld will, as .to a man, give him its most enthuslastic support and do all its power to further his nomination and secuto his election. There is no man in the district, with all duo re af cot to other candidates, who could better or more faithfully represent it. Gon. Bratton nceds no conilenda tion at our hands. He is known to the people of the whole Stato and dis trict as a mnatf who has faithfully served his State In war and poaco, and one who never expected nor asked for a .reward for his services. Ills fitnoes for any position ,to which the people may call him is unquestioned, and- It is but natural that they should call up1)on1 himu to represent thei in the councils- of the Nations. We doubt not, ttherofore, that his candidacy will receive the approval of .tho people of the district. 'The County Con1veuntion. 'T ho County Convention has met, performed Its work and ndjonrrned. The following Is it synopsis of its work: Delegates elected to the State Con vention ; opposed to nogliating State ofilcors at the forthcoming Conven tion; opposed to priuary In State, and the Congressional and Judicial districts; expressed the oplnibn that four offices which are now appolitivo shall be made elective; and, finally, t'he submlssion of an amnendthent to -the Constitution that all county offices shall be elective... This latter resolution will have to be adopted by two-thirds of the clubs of the county before it becomes law. If It is so -a'doptea elections will be -lheli for every oflice in the county, In cluding .trial justices, auditor, trOas ure r, jury commIssIoner and super visor of registration. Whoever is so chosen will be recommended to the Governor for appolntmnopt, astd being the choice of the people he wvill doubt less heed their desire. 'Governor" McLane. Prof. RI. Means Davis has written a letter to the Boston Transcript show ing up J1. Hendrlx McLane's history from the beginning to the' end, and showing at the same time the utter falsehood of all that lhe has written to the Transcrlpt about South Carolina politics. Prof. Davis' article is short, comparatively, but it is full of telling points-and damaging facts concerning the great apostle. Ev'ery word that lie wrote was true and much more could be told. J. ilendrix McLane answvers this artiqle in the TranIscript by reiterating the false statements he has made before and by saying that all the statements concerning him aro "charges, Indi vidually and collectIvely, most Infa mous lies, imd uno one but the basest Bourbon lickspittle would tell them, and no one but tIhe most consummate dastard would repeat thema after they were told." The "Honorable" J. Hiendrix McLauno thus gets on a high horse at the charge that lie wvas a fire eating, "nigger"-kilng D)emot:rat in 1876, and-that he only 'left the party because lie could not get aii office and lived some years upon money fur nishied by the Republican party. The Transcript also comes to lisa rescue wIth a bitter partisan editorial reflectinig upon Prof. Davis., We, whio live in his own county, know his ,record aund that of Prof. Davis. The latter sands as high, If we condescend to compare the'm, above the former as the heavens are above the earth'and ho- needh no defence at any mian's hands. But we want to tell the Transcript and J. ilendrir MoLano wvhat the peopio of his own cou1nty, who know him better than mmybody else, think of him. The opinion held of J. Hiendrix Mc Lane by his fellow-citizens of his own county is that he is an unconscionable liar. rennen,de an,1 hypocrte, ..as hi ocord has proven. We. would iiot ay so much attention to such A, despi able being as J. ~ Hendi:x McLane veroit not for the fact that his utter ,ncos recoive so much credouce from lorthern papers, and we shall be areful that both the Transcript and ho "Honorable" Mr. McLane shall eo a marked copy of what is thought if him in his own county.
