Now York, whether ill tho crowded

- wherever an opportunity presen

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

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

have their preference ami ?I is
right and proper and In full accor

IllOSojndlvldual voters should ex

way lo do this is by ll primary (dec

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.
