We understand that it is the purpose of manny persons to elect delegates to tie State Convention, which mteets in ('olunbia on 'eptentber loth, at the county (onventio i to be held here on Saturday. There is no qu' stiont that hie 'Iillm:an mlen will onohtrol the (on veition: on Saturday by a very large majority. We are also satisfied that the eleetioti of delegates to the State Con vention was not contemplated in the rall issued for this County Convention. It has never been customary in this county to elect delegates to a State Convention .0 long before the Conven tion meets, and we do not see how they catn he elected on Saturday without to)tally disredarding tle coIstitUtionl of the Dernocratic party in this county, and why should they be elected so long before the meeting of th' State Con vention. Surely the Tillman men are not afraid of a teant ion of public senti ment in the county before the first of September. Now let its see what the constitution says on this point: ''he State ('onstitution of t he Demo e atic party says in regard to the elee tion of delegates: "Any county, if it see tit, may at the same time choose delegates to attend Iwo difleret't State 'onventions: P roridrdd, The same he heltd not more than four months apart: 1,Orie-d (d5o, That notie of the same be given in the cal! to elect such dete gates." This is an amnendInent passed September 6th, 1 The clause pre (edinlg this priii-es that each State Convent ion shall be (otpliosed (of new lV elected delegates. Te preSent Coun11tv Constitution, whieb~ has been in e:w sinice 1's, pro: vides that a County (-ivention "shall be called for a specilie purpose or pur p.)ses which shall be stated in the call, bat it may without previous notice act upon any matter of detail or any un toreseen exigency." Now we ask, is the election of delegates to the State Convention a mere ruatter of detail, or has any unforeseen exigency arisen 4 We (10 not believe the D)emnocrats of Newberry will go in the face of the cons5titutiti of the party, and con trary to all precedetnt ini the Democratic party, anid elect delegates this long be fore the meeting of the State nomina ting (Tonvention. What is to be gained by it ? If it is dotne the conclusion will be inevitable that the leaders of the Tillman men in the Convention will be afraid to risk the educating in tluences of this "campaign of educa tion." Otherwise why should they de sire to elect at this time ? But there is another phlase of this qluestiotn to which we desire to direct attention. Shall we elect (iur dele gattes bo primary election ? And if not, why ntot 'u Thi question will be left to the decision of the Tillman followers, who will largzely conitrol the Conven tiont on Saturday, andl the responsibili tv of its (decision will rest with them. Mfr. Tili man, in his public speech at Greenville, as we und erstood it, and at other points, said lie wanted the people to speak in this matter, and said this was the first time the people ever had had the opportunity to hear and see the catndidates for Governor before their election was assured, and lie urged the electioni of dleegates to the State Conventioni by primtary election. Whether his followecrs mean to carry oiut thle provWisionls of the 31arch Con venttionl platformt in this mtaaer, and the expressed preference of MIr. Tillmtan o:- niot, ntay depend ott circumstances. We observe that 24r. Tillmtan at Union refused to go into an agreement with Gen Eatle on thle sublject of a primiary. The D)emocrats oif No. S Township in this county have passed1 resoluutis in favor of a primary electiotn. The question is witat will the (ont ventiti onl Saturdiay do.

Sh1al1 we have the prim nary for the election of delegates to the State Con vention We can elect our delegates by pri mary without regard to what other counties may do in this tmatter. Each county has the right to adopt its own modes and methods in this matter. THE CAMPAIGN. The State Campaign for the first week closed at Newberry on the 13th. Last week meetings were held at Ab beville, Anderson, Walhalla, Pickens and Union. We endeavored to give a full report of the meeting at Newberry. The speeches at all the places are very much the same with varying incidents. Our space is not equal to anything like a report of the meetings. At Abbeville and Anderson the re port is that the crowd was tolerably equally divided between the Tillman and the anti-Tillman men. At Wal halla. and Pickens the Tillman men were in the majority, but a respectful hearing was given all sides. At Union the meeting was a decided Tillman meeting, a(. there was not much dis position to hear from the other side. The meetings opened this week at Columlia on Tuesday. At Anderson Capt. Tillman retracted and apologized publicly to Col. .1. J. I)argan for what he had said of him when there before. At Walhalla he said those Senators who voted against reapportionment were injudicious legislators. Senator Bieman was present. The meeting at Pickens was an orderly and quiet one. At Abbeville Capt. Tillman refused to agree to the appointment of an ex pert to examine the books of the ComI missioner of Agriculture, although Gen. Earle proposed to pay all the ex At Union lie refused to agree to Earle's propocsition to have a primary. The editor of this paper has under stood he was advocating that plan. The Columbia meeting was looked to with much interest. Senator Hamp ton was there and made a good speech and received quite an ovation. J. C. Haskell also spoke, and in reply to Tillman, but Tillman did not remain to hear him. There was a considerabe crowd pres ent. The World says Tillman had the day. The other papers, and gentlemen from Newberry who were there say it was a decidedly anti-Tilhnan meeting. G;en. Pope and Col. Farley who were to speak at night declined to remain and went on1 to Lexington. Tfhere was an accident at the Cjoluni bia meeting caused by the explosion of a cannon by which three young men were severely hurt: J. M. Stork, and W. H. Casson, Jr., of Columbia, and W. Olin Barre, of Lexington. Mr. Barre died. MIr. Stork had to have his right arm amnputated. 3Mr. Casson was not so badly hurt. The mass meeting yesterday was at Lexington, to-day at Edgefield and to morrow at Aiken. THE OLb AND THE NEW. We publish this week on the first page of The Herald and News the old Consttution of the Democratic party in this county as adopted in 1878, and the new cons-itution prepared by the Executive Conimittee under direction of the County ('onvention held in 188S, and to be proposed for adoption, aniend ment or rejection, at the Convention on Saturday. They are side by side ad convenient for comparison. The old one we take it is of force now, but there have been a few amend mets dutring the ten years of its ex istenic. The only amendiment that we have been able to find is the one adopted at a county convention on 12th of August, 18S2, increasing the memu brship to 222 delegates and making the apportionlimnt among the several town ships, as proposed in the new constitu t'n This apportionment ought to be chaiged now as sonie of the townships likelv have more and some less Decmo cratie voters thiain in] 1882. But this matter will come before the convention saturday. All that we desire to do is to direct attention to the old and the new constitution so that dlelegates may be preparedl to p)ropose such amend ments as they desire, and1 inl doing so Ihave both 'onistituitionis before them. The State Constitution of the party was puiblished ini The Herald and News a few weeks ago. We understamid that Capt. B. R. Till mani, candidate for Gbovernlor, and who "ight get into the U nited1 States Sea ate" as the successor of Wade Hiamp ton, is decidedly opposed to what is known as thle sub-treasury bill, and that lie and his brother Gleo. D). Till man, now a Congressman, are both "thoroughly satisfied that thle sub treasury idea is arrant nonsense." We are glad to agree with these gentlemen on this subject. Ini this connection we desire to call attention to certain qjues tions propounded to the candidates for ongress from this district, by the Alliance. lt is tehe platform referred to in The Herald and News several weks ago, as being adopted at the Belton convention held in February by delegates fromi the several county allilances in this d i5trict. Thle sub-treasury scheme, in our opinion, is a very wild one and imnprae ticable, not to speak of its constitution aitv. We do not b'elieve it will ever h~eomne a la~v. &)ID HE 5.4 YT' The following is reported as havin! been said by Capt. Tillman in hi: speech at Union. We would like t< know if he is correctly reported. \V tnake no comment: I have always said I didn't want of five, and I can say it, now, and I coult look I.;od in the eye, if He did not kil rue with His glance, and say it. I an a peculiar man. I speak truth, and care not who it hurts. A1 Congressional Convention for thi: District has been called to be held a Belton on July 5. That will iiake i necessary for the Convention here oI Saturday to elect delegates. This Con vention is called for the purpose of de termiinting whether Congressnen shal be noninated by Convention or pri mary election. We suppose it will be h primary. Mr. Tiihlnan'. Charge Against the So-Callet Aristocracy. To the Editor of The Herald and News Mr. Tillman urges with peculiar erierg the charge that the people of the Stat< have not hitherto had the goveroinent co the State. but that that government lia: been in the hands of an aristocracy. Ho has not, so far as I have heard him o1 read the reports of his speeches, under taken to define the term as applicable t( our affairs, but has contented himself witl saying in general words, that it is a gov ernment of the many by the few, an' with referring to two or three matter, which, he insists, show the applicatioi here. In his speech at Newberry, on the 13t1 instant, he dwelt earnestly upon the oli Parish System, as it is generally called by which certain sub-divisions of coun, ties (or districts as they were then called in the low-country, were allowed such representation as gave each one of thos districts a greater namber of senator: than was allowed up-country districts And he instanced the District of Charles ton as having ten Senators, and Beaufor1 District four senators, while Newberr) and Edgefield, and all the upper districts had each but one senator. That was quit true until soon after the close of the war But ever since 1868 there has been al. lowed but one senator to each county o the State except Charleston County which has two senators. I do not assert that Mr. Tillman in tended his audienee to believe tha1 Charleston has had more than two sena. tors, or Beaufort more than one senator within the last twenty years, but he should, in fairness, have gone on to sa} that that old system had been abolisheL more than twenty years ago. and should have stated, as I have just done, what it the representation in the Senate now Now whether Charleston ought to retair two senators is a point about which muel may bc said. I do not think it is any greal matt-r: but I. for one, freely admit thai I think that county ought to be broughi down to one senator, like the rest of the counties. And I think I go beyond Mr Tillman in this; for I have not under. stood that he wishes to cut down Charles ton to one senator. But he goes on to discourse about sc many officers being elected by the Legis lature, or nominated by conventions. The only officers elected by the Legislature, or that have been elected by the Legisla ture for the last twenty years, outside ofI its own officers, are the Judges of the State, 'United States Senators, Trustees of the 'University, six of the thirteen Trustees of Clemson College, two mem bers of the Board of Agriculture, the Penitentiary Board of Directors, and per haps some officers whose duties are con fined to the coast-country. Of all these officers there are but two sets. whose hon ors or salaries (some of them get no pay at all) would at all warrant a candidacy before the whole people of the State; which two are the Judges and the 'United States Senators. Now, does Mr. Tillmai wish these two kinds of officers to be elected directly by the people? If he does, why does he not say so? And if their election in this manner is important, why did he not put the matter into the platform which he wrote and carried in his pocket to Columbia in March? But this is not what Mr. Tillman de mands: and it is very doubtful whether he desires the people to have any sub stantial enlargement of their powers or franchises- In his platform in March he demanded a primary election of delegates to the State Nominating Convention. In his earlier campaign speeches he made this demand, but now it is univer sally understood that he seeks to be made Governor by a convention not itself elected by the people, but elected by delegates from clubs. His platform demands the nomination ol Railroad Commissioners by a convention elected by primaries : but as he has dropped all demand for that sort of con vention, this pretense of love for the peo ple's rights falls to the ground. His plat form demands primary elections for all others than State officers. Why not for State officers too? One would'imagine that this man who rants and raves be cause, as he says, the people are not al lowed to elect their officers, would consent for the people to hold primaries for the nomination of state officers. Mr. Till rnan is, therefore, no democrat, accord ing to his own definition, for he sayvs democracy implies the government of the people by the people, and the filling ol all offices by the vote of the people. Mr. T illman is not weilling to trust the peopl with the filling of all the offices. H e ic therefore, by his definition, in favor ol aristocratic government, at least to a cer tain extent. But it suits that gentleman to preaeb generalities; and lie has found that it in flames the people to tell them that they have not had their piroper share in the government: he therefore deals out an ient history liberally, and rants about the rights of the peop)le, without telling them wherein he proposes to improve their condition. He especially dwells upon the charge that the people of the low-country have for a great length ol time appropriated public offices, to the exclusion of up-countrymen. Now he ie either very ignorant of the history of his own State, or very indifferent about the truth. He ought to know that for more than fifty years-if not longer - up countrymen have held more State and Federal offices than low-countrymen have. During that period but three low countrymen have been in the Unite] States Senate. unless he calls Darlington low-country, and then there would be but four of them. Calhoun, McDuffie, Pres ton, Judge Butler, Chestnut, Hammond, Hampton, 31. C. Butler, who have been senators in that time, have all been up countrymen. Judge Huger was the only low-countryman elected in that time (un less Judge Evans be so classed), and he served but about two years.. Mr. Barnwell, the second low-country man, was appointed for an unexpired term, and served but a few months. A: thur P. Hlayne, the third low-countryman. was appointed by the Governor for the few months of an unexpired term. And against this DieSaussure and Elmore, boti: up-country-men, were appointed for simi lar unexpired terms. In the Confederate Senate there were Judge Orr from the up-country, and Mr Barnwell from the low country. For about fifty years a large majority of the Judges have been up-countrymen For about thirty years Newherry had twc Judges of the ten on the benchi-Judge O'Nealland Chancellor Johnstone--while all the coast-country put together. includ ing Georgetown, Charleston, Beaufori and Colleton had but two at any one time The Governors of the State down t< the war were taken from the t wo sectionm alternately. There never was but one office. in those days, confined to the low: countr-that of Attorney General-and that was because that officer had to ac1 as solicitor in (Charleston. Since the wai there has never been a low-country Gov ernor, unless we call Richardson a low -omntrvmnn. Orr. Hampton. Hatroooi Thompson. Jeter. Simpson and Sheppard. have all been from the up-country. What offices have been appropriated N by the low-country aristocracy? J. F. J. CALDwiLL. June 23. 1890. Error as to Mr. Sligh Corrected. I To the Editor of Tlte Herald and jil News: I have learned t hat J was in r. error in including Mr. .. A. Sligh (in re my article in your paper last week) tli anong the members of the Legislature pl who voted against the bill to provide tl for the enumeration of the inhabitants (; of this State for the purpose of re- nj apportioning representation in the m house of Representative-, origimating in in the House in 1s5. I had not the m Senate Journal for that year, and in I te iy article repeated what I had heard % fromt persons who, I then supposed, hal tr examined the journal, or had personal cc knowledge of the fact alleged. My at tention being called to the matter since, I have examined the journal, and found that my informant was mistaken. I take pleasure, therefore. in correcting the error, and in stating that Mr. Sligh voted against the Io- T 1 tion to strike out the exacting clause of T the bill, and thereby, so far as can be judged from the vote on such a miiotion, tI ildicated a feeling favorable to the enumnerationi. .1. F.J.. C hue isi:u.t re r ti D ~- .I'IIalin Isl iim nteCn To the Editor of The Herald and ti News : I have read Mr. ('aldwell's sy article published in The Herald and oi News of last week. We have no ob- in jection to his managing the campaign tl on his side, but when he attempts to n manage that of his opponents he reck- of ons without his host. Our reply to him in plain vernacular is "shinny on sl your own side." He says that he sees tu nothing on Mr. Tillman's side but "a ic compound of platitudes and personal- s ities with nothing of substantial im- se portance to the people." It seems that p the people see very diflerently from tf him. They are not looking through la his glasses ; they are for the first timie doing a little seeing and thinking for vc themselves ; they see that this is a campaign which looks to a more ceo- al nonical government ; a campaign that teaches them that they are the masters li and the office-holders are the servants ; tl that teaches them that a change in the h<4 office-holders will do good, if no other good will teach the office-holder that a: he mlust step dowi and out without fa saying harsh things about the repre- di rentatives of the people in this cani paign or without getting up to such a tr pitch of fury as to rend his gar"ients. of The "lawyer lieutenants" seen i.> be a. doing eftective work for the cus,, and this attempt on Mr. C.'s part to array fu the masses against then because they pl are lawyers is to do the very thing er that Mr. C. has claimed that Mr. Till- SI man has done. These gentlemen are A upon the ticket as citizens working for F the common good. Mr. Caldwell ought to be convinced that the county is strongly Tillman, and the people have made up their minds and cannot be So changed. Mr. Caldwell alludes to Mr. Sligh S and myself in connection with the vote on the census and reapportionment. He places Mr. Sligh on the wrong side, as lie voted all the way through for a census and reapportionnment. As for myself I voted in 1884 for a census Ti based oii the U. S. Census of 1880). I thought then that the Constitutiot: would admit of it. I think so yet. 'rThe Constitution then read as follows: "Section 4. The House of Represen tatives shall consist of one hundred cc and twenty-four members to be ap- E portioned among the several counties at according to the number of inhabitants is contained. An enumeration of the in- su habitants, for this purpose, shall be cc made in eighteen hundred and sixty nine, and again in eighteen hundred or and seventy-five, and shall be miade wv in course of every tenth year thereafter, or in suech mannerVJ a s shLa/ bc by law pr directed ** *"7 in Trhe italics are mine. I took the di: I osition in 1884, when a bill was intro- w. ducect to have the enumierationi made p1: and the apportionnment had fromi it on ot a basis of the U. S. Census of 188I), that it was proper to make it in this way, St and that the Legislature was made by Ia the Constitution the judge of the mat- th ter, and thereby the cost of a census av would be avoided. We were defeated in the House. In 1S85 (December), the census bill came before the House and I opposed it for two reasons-one wvas its cost, the other was that the Con- Ps stitution directed the Legislature to providle for the taking of the census at the session 1884, and this not havinig 1 been done, that under section 5 of the Constitution the right to take it [sad passed fronm the Legislature to the Governor. Section 5 reads as follows :"I f the i" enunerationi herein directed shall not be made in the course of thbe year ap- e.v pointed for the purpose, it shall lie the h duty of the Governor to have it ef f'ected ar as soon thereafter as shall be practical." on: That the Legislature could only be 1 called upon by the Governor to appro- sa priate the mioney neces.sary, and that a, the Legislature having failed to pa:ss a laxw taking the census, it was in eu the poxver of the Governor to do what a" the Legislature might have (lone, simu-' ply have a tabulation made from the w.i census of 1880, xvhich, xwhen transmit- tt ted by him to the Legislature xwould become the basis upon01 which to realp- I.] portion the House, or failing in this wi le could have a census taken ab~ initio, g" and call upon the Legislature for an s. apropriation1 sutlicient to defray the sa exenlse. I therefore voited against the "ii bill, it passed the House, but was w killed ini the Senate. Then the Consti- us tution was anmenided so as to allow the census to be taken in 1591 froni the United States census of 1590), and its I take it, sooner if the Legislature satw proper to do it. Enditer this change of Ti the Constitutiont another attempt wvas made to use the census of 1880) as the s basis of apportionment. The bill passed 1.n the House by a small nmjority, tu t was killed in the Senate. I supporteid it. i When the cenisus biil passed the 1House ih in 1885 it hiad but six oppoetnts, two of whom, MIr. Sebiumpert and mtyself, so were fronm N ew berry. ' S AwIsos l'oi-:E. hi Junie 19, 1590. Married Twice to the same (wrt. (Co sm.M I, S. ('., .Junie 19.-Tlwo ~ years and a half ago L.
