Jt la now apparont that thoro will bo ro Democratic tlckots In the field?a >ld Bug ticket in Opposition to the fryun and Watson?Bryan and Sowall; toKlutey and tho other half do/on tokets now on and fast coming on tho ipls. Each ticket will claim that telr's is tho only true and genuino. fom Watson was groatly potted in State some four years ago?but it >nds now entirely on whothor Till lot him drop, as a hot potato. As 'illman stood it out in Chicago and >inod In tho nomination of an East ?n Gold Bug, it Is probable that ho 111 let Watson alono and abide by tho Itlon of tho Chicago braves. It all [spends on tho Tillraan cuo. Yes tero will bo two socallod Democratic jiokota. Every man in theso times sots )p his own ntandard of Democracy. It tho samo thing with tho Ropubll fans. Toller pulled out from tho Re publicans followed by a large aggre gation of stockholders in tho Colorado ?pother silver mining industries.? 'Illman doolarod his intention to pull tut unless he got tho platform ho vantod. So tho theory of ovory man n the country sotting up a party of tie own with standards and tests of' lis own is authoritatively established, 'ho weather remains torrid, it is a food thing to cultivate the shade, a loket made to hand saves trouble and io The Advertiser is content to swallow Bryan and that gold bug down I Castor from Maine with all his sins iipon his head. This mullpllclty of tickets shall not confuse us. Tom Wat I ion we walvo asido as a piece of im mrtlnonco and Wall Stroot might as well go to the bow wows. To toll tho Inmost straight truth about It: The Advertiser and Its roadors aro mighty Indepondont these days and not so full of patriotism; wo have suf fered; have stood a doal; It is clear that we aro to wait for prosperity; wo arc a small oloment in the mighty aggrega tion making up tho glorious union; and I are loyal to tho Idoa of not assuming itoo much responsibility to hold back the country from entering into the jaws of destruction. Make up your minds, gontlo roadors, to voto for tho Bryan collection and wait rosults. Of course Wo will all bo happy still? for wo havo a glorious collection to choose from in the grand array ?presenting themselves for our sut fragoB?vote as wo ploase wo can't make a mistake ? tho State is '.bound to be prosporous-?" we'll bo gay and happy still." The President, the Cabinet, tho Senate, tho House, the Army, tho,Navy, tho Monroe Doctrine, Cuba and all tho rest. We aro safo in old Carolina. A Stato is hard to defino?and what is called State pride is a foolish sug gestion. A Stato if mado up of its popu lation is not a thing of longer than a moment?as tho inhabitants aro not for a moment Identical. The present occu pants of tho Stato arc cortainly not to be held responsible for tho sins and .Short comings of a contary back? although it is noi, infroquont to brag or 'cluster about ancestral achieve ments. Thoso barbarians that Caezar found in Britain little ubovo brutish beasts and unablo to protect them selves against Invasion, woro our an cestors. Wo aro led to these reflec tions by tho tone of comment of our press upon tho alleged low tone of the campaign now progressing in our State. No man can be hold responsible for their short coming. Fifty yoars from this and you will not be part of It. So let us all tako a philosopical viow and resolve to bo happy. How much of tho glory of Hayno, Calhoun, McDufllo and the rest of tho good and grcnt esch one of us can claim, amounts to little. We are in a philosopical mood this morning. Wo aro only hinting to thoso people who think that tho planetary system will got out of joint If tholr men aro not choson Govornors and Senators. **? It is announcod that Hanna will raise his millions for campaign pur poses out Of tho fat manufacturers, .without troublo. It is further announced that tho Democrats will havo a hard timo to get the raonoy to brlbo the necessary number of votors.

We think thi? well?as it will take votes from McKinley. Orangoburg. It wo* a record breaking mooting at that groat stronghold of reform, Orangeburg. Indeed it was. Volun teers to manage the mooting laid down laws to govern the debate, to tho ef fect that np personalitlos should bo used by tho speakers. This capsized the whole thine?thoro was nothing left?you have heard of Hamlet with out tho Prince. All the same the managers got there?they wore mostly Whitman's "pap-suckers" and there was much fun. As each speaker closod, theso gentlemen took tho mat ter of "personalities" in hand and pro pounded sundry questions involving only tho character, record and hon esty of tho aspirants. Every mothers son except their favorites wore put on tho dofonsivo by a line of thumb screw ing interrogatories. Thoy did and they didn't?they wanted all clean? thoy loaded down tho mooting with filth. Indood, this is an ago of educa tion, but tho ages to come will stand amazod when thoy read backwards upon the Orangoburg record of last Tuesday. May wo not tako unto our paralizod souls the flattoring unctioh that tho mouthy spokesmen for Orangoburg In her groat assemblies are a bakors dozen of solf-constitutod loaders, and wo trust that wo can.? Sampson was shearod of his locks.? Eliminate tho indictments of tho can didates themsolvos and tho debato is tho vacuum which nature, abhors. We entortain a dreary hopo that tho Snells and Jonos will not run tho thing for ever. But we are not hopeful. Hero is a sample of the Orangoburg debato from tho report by the "Stato" now tho leading Frco Silver organ of South Carolina. Hpre, hero, hero, and with .many misgivings: "Thoro wcro many interruptions, in which Bill Snell and Jim Jones were leaders. Snell disliked so much talk about papsuckcrs. Ho was no pap sucker, ho never had boon but bo would considor a conversation ubout liquor much more Interesting. Jones having harassed Whitman further, the candidato told him his brains woro in his heels. When tho chairman mildly romonstratcd with Jones tho lattor retorted: "God?d d-n him, ho has been abusing our men all over tho State, but ho can't do any thing in Orangoburg." Thcro woro frcquont erl?s for Ellcr bo, and Whitman said: "I havo never said that Tillman was a liar as Ellorbo has said when ho wont about the Stato crying because Tillman gavo tho gub ernatorial applo to Johnnio in 1804. Snoll?What about this dlsponsary? Whitman?I. think it tho biggost humbug God Almighty's sun over shone on. At thoso campaign meet ings thoy claim to bo closod, but the back doors are open to your howlers. Whon Whitman repeated his saying about his having a "littlo bread and a plonty of butter; that his bread was time and his butter truth, but it was a Goshcn butter and did not go rancid," Jim Jones remrked, "You smell rancid." Ho also asked Whitman who was paying his expensos. The candidate replied ho was paying thorn himself and had tho brains to mako money. Jones advised him to go home and savo his money. Whitman said Ellorbo was supported by only one paper in the State?The News and Courier. A Voice?Knock him oil tho stand, Mr. Chairman." ? The Hon. George D. Tillman has beon chosen Chairman of the Board of Trust ees for Clemson College. Ho favors a Professor of dancing and teaching tho boys to "trip it on the light fantastic,' as John Milton puts It. If so then Winthrop should havo a like attach ment as tho boys will need partners.? This is a campaign of education. We aro not quarreling with "Uncle Georges" ideas.

Broad "Street, Atlanta, Ga. WOMAN'S MEN, who hold the purse strings, often deprive women of articles of inestimable value. The wife pleads with her husband for a Piano or an Organ, which is tenfold more essential than the cigar and other luxuries in which he indulges. The daughter asks father, or guardian, to buy an Instrument to enable her to cultivate that beautiful talent, music. Does any sane man not rclize this a reasonable right to plead and ask for? Reilect a minute'. Think of the means expended for instruction, and the many tedious hours employed in practice by wife and daughter, and of their glowing anticipations subsequently to be realized. Now, father, husband, or guardian, are you going to blast all these bright anticipations by denying them of thismeri nd right?simply the gift of a Piano or an Orgap ? Give your wives and daughters their merited rights in the home, which is "Woman's Kingdom," then she will cease to clamor for politi cal suffrage. Don't plead inability when such liberal terms and prices are available. My prices are right, terms easy, and quality of Instruments im- I surpassed.
