A nu m bel'of s peech or on tho tarin WCfC also delivered, which wore all well received, hut tho next gen eral ont bu ri followed the Introduc tion of lt.

[ti Now York, whether ill tho crowded through fares, trains, hotels or cafo - wherever an opportunity presen ted and nu object for an interview, Ibero was thc newspaper man. lt so happened however that fully eight outofton men whom we were able to draw out on politics, inclined to thc Republicans. OlCOUfSO they abused the President, denounced his civil service policy, and his veto of pension bills. Ile and his party were charged us froo-triulers-op posed to tho growing industries which had placed Ibis country so far iii advance of all others. The tariff was Ibo principle subject when politics was mentioned and several partisans gave it as their opinion that tho campaign would be free of abuse and would ho fought on ti higher plane than those of four and eight year- ago. It I.? their be lief ?Iso thal in New York slate many who bud voted willi tho Ito publicans would now ho villi Ino I Democrats, and c/ec fit t'su, [ti Washington the belief ls gen eral thu!

They do not re lish his triol adheranco lo civil ser vice law. Tho fact ?.-plain to ovo rv one Hint many of tho 10,000 Uo publlcans who still hohl positions, should bo removed, in rome ot* tho public buildings, notably tho Bureau of Engraving, even tho guides who show visitors through tin-department are offensive parti an itepiiulicuns. No sooner hud the writer entered this building than thc guide began tho work of showing tho short-comings ol'the j party in power and tho superior ex cellence of tue Republicans. It ls said that-of the 2000 employees in I this department, scarcely ado/en I aro democrats, lt is hoped that thc I Ad ni i ri ist rat i on will do better next : lorin, South Carolina has a goodly 1 nu nibo r representativos in Wash ington, who till important positions, and it is needless to say that like tho majority of citizens here, sus tain tho Administration on nil im portant issues. Those Carolinians i have formed a South Carolina 1 loni I ocratio Club, which now numbers nearly 70 strong. Stand by the Primary. A county convention will ho held boro noxtThursday to clod dele gates to the Congressional and .In dicia! Conventions. Prom tho prc liinlniimry skirmish it is evident that Laurens, tho bailie ground of the Congressional race, cannot bo depended on solidly for any candi date. In view of this division of -i ntiment and tho manifest desire to the voters to cast their ballots 'iir<edy for Representatives, it is hoped timi the conting county con vention will stand squarely by the primary mode. If anything may bo taKeii as certain it is that tho sentiment of Laurens is In this di rection. JTorotoforo tho friends of all the candidates h av o clamored for tho primary, and now it should bc ordered. No Congressional con test was ever conducted more fair ly and impartially; no three men ever entered a rilOO with Cloanoi hands, backed by superior ability, and while md hing can be ?aid in di ?> ira got ne it I of the (da i ni s of any candidatos, yet individual voters have their preference ami ?I is right and proper and In full accor dance with sound democracy that IllOSojndlvldual voters should ex press (heir preference. Tho best way lo do this is by ll primary (dec t ?on. The l?nsis of Representation. in tho township meeting on Sat urday .Mr Dial Introduced a resolu tion favoring an apportionment of tho representation in tho county Democratic Conventions according io (he membership of tho various Democratic clubs. Inasmuch ?ts this county is now in tho midst of ii campaign and thoroughly organized, a change so radical as (ho basis of representa tion in conventions, at this particu lar jucture, would be opposed by Tuc. ADVKKTISKK, without strong grounds therefor. At tho sumo time, there can certainly be noop pe-it ion to the proposed cITftngo if made ut (bo proper dine. H is sound democracy to allow each voter on equal volco tn tho councils of tho party, and thai reprosontatlon should be based on tim democratic strength, rather than tho geograph ical position of any section. Moro ovor, ls wo proposo to gtvo any weight whatever to tho organic law Of tin? party in this stat?', oat h v ?;ni ty should heed Article V of tho Constitution, whichsnys: "County Doiuocralic Convontlons shall ho composed of delegatos elec ted hy tho sovoral local clubs -ono delegate fos every club, und an ad ditional delegates for every twenty flvo (25) enrolled mombors-with tho light to ouch County Conven tion to onlargO or diminish tho rep resentations according to drouin stancos." Crom this ii is evident that Lau rena and Union, thc only oouutlos in the state which huso representa tion on townships rathol* than Club membership, uro clearly violating tho constitution ol' tho stale demo cracy. We buliOVC that when this matter is fully understood and a new constitution is made, the man ifest justlco of tho proposition will bu appreciated. Mt. Bethel v lui?.
