Un questionably what our distinguished rWite Chairman rolls upon his tonguo, the "organized democracy" in those united States was knocked completely out. As far as the East is from the West, and In the intervening and sur rounding territory the democrats and ! all its counterfeits woro oycloned und burled out of sight. Tho only consola tion left lies in tho reflection that tho democracy beaten was what a wool hat anti in this county describes vory grapically as a bastard domooracy.. Let us recur. Pour years ago wo had a solid South and that meant an un brokon phalanx of white mon standing' shoulder to shoulder. In 1890 the lltad of isms, began to oreop in and disin tegrate, but still in 1893 there was enough solidity \n the South to keep up an unbroken front and along with the Northern wing to break tho ro tr^hlioan linos and put Cleveland in ?Vlth a rush and fill tho Houso and tho Senate with a working majority of so oalled democrats. But.it proved a sad aggregation; the so-called democratic Congress, Senate and Houso, was a fraud, a monagorio of strange animals, wearing, as the ass who olothod him \o\l In the lion's skin, stolon polts. were only known in thoir truo ihaTacter, when thoy advortlsod thom plvoB by thoir braylngs. To illustrato, p. this Stato, Brawley (succeeded by \V.lar) was the only democrat not tinted with some ono or other tho dozen Isms of tho tainted In Georgia, only two of thoir 'ogotlon were simon pure democrats, t was. throughout tho South and V This itself ..as *, ~gh. to star o nation out of its propriety. The ~Io of a great section's roprcsen .,/ives, populists, republicans, cen trists and socialists, posing and pa rting as domocrats, sickened, dis puted and frightened tho groat body plitic. On tho hustings, at tho North a? Wost tho lion's skin was irrover onjly torn from tho backs of tho popu lisB and bogus Joffersonians, thoir tri) characters exposed and advertised to jho world. In the moanwhllo tho Sotth was shlvored into atoms. Un nunborcd isms took possession of tho poOllo under strange leaders- and Btrapge names. Hence we have Till mnrij Watson, and Kolb at tho South, with populism, third-party-ism, Till manlsm, Joffersoulanism, centralism, all mixed and adulterated with re publ.lcAnism and n small fraction of slmonqnire democrats, in this Stato, known as ant is and oonsorvatlvos This -x._JR?s tho condition and has been the condition over tho South und the West to which our Governor has boon look ing with anxious eyes. Now comes tho tug of war. At tho North aro forty millions of pooplo to twenty at tho South and beyond tho Mississippi. Forty millions cun boat twenty millions at any game. These forty became alarmed at tho Southern outlook and wo soo tho result. But the funny thing amidst all tho involution lies in tho fact thatl oven bleeding Kansas, to which Go1* jTUlinan was looking for light, has gono wrong, revolutionized horsolf and tui nc'i tho freo silvorltos and populist- . l into tho blizzard, horso foot and dragoons. We will hear *?*' Z/fgalls ogoTn, the "statesman out of ^a job," Tho cotton states statesmen havo gono and clone it and now will bo lonesome in ConVrcaa.

It never turned up be foro. We have not hoard of a single j registration certificate being declared spurious by the managors In all tho State. This is too weak for sucklings. ? It Is charged and believed that Evans, Tillmah, Irby and Elliott's Beaufort friends had a doal. This deal lost the "No's" several thousand votes. Col.

Popo may appoal from tho ma chine, but only to the inachino; ho may go to tho courts, but tho maohlno will welcome him; to tho higher court, but there ho will find his comrades of old in his anclont housohold; thero ho will got his death stroko from his former yoke follows; and thero will ho bo burlod.

A nalyst's and Testimonials of Most Prominent Physicians oj the Country Proves its Superiority over all Others, After a long and varied experience in the use of Mineral Water from many sources, both foreign ami domestic, I am fully persuaded that the Han is Lithia Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of alllictions of the Kidney and Bladder unequalled by any other Water of which I have made trial. This opinion is based upon observation of its effects upon my patients for the past three years, during which time I have prescribed it freely and almost uniformly with benefit in the medical maladies above men tioned. When failure to relieve has occurred, I have imputed it to insuffi cient use of the Water, for my experience teaches me that from one to two quarts daily should be taken from two to four weeks, to secure its full remedial effects. A. N. TALLEY, M. D. Columbia, S. C. ASHVILLB, N. C, April 24th, 1893. An extended clinical use of the Harris Lithia Water prompts me to the statement that I regard it as one of the best, if not the best, Lithia Water known to the profession. In the condition of Phosphatic Urine, its action is marvelous. Its use in the Rheumatic and Gouty Diathesis afford mc more comfort than either the Buffalo or Londonderry Waters.
