ELBERT H. AULL, EDIron. ELBERT Ii. AULL, 1 Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, i fEWBERRY. S. C. IE9IESDY, UY 1 1892. RATHER STRANGE. On another page may be found anl article from the Cotton Plant written by Mr. Jos. L. Keitt, lecturer of the Alliance for the third district. He is rather severe on both the old parties, and particularly the Demo cratic party. Among other things he says: "In it patriotism is dead-beyond resurrection. Party success and boodle is its motto." That is pretty severe for one to say about the party to which he belongs. Mr. Keitt is the Democratic State Senator from Newberry County, and was President of the Democratic Coun ty Convention held at Newberry only about ten days ago, and was elected a delegate to the Democratic State Con vention to be held in Columbia on the 18th of this month. It does seem a little strange to The Herald and News that a man would continue to belong to a party "in which patriotism was dead beyond resurrec tion", and which had for its motto "party success and boodle," unless he expected to get the "boodle," and then it is not often that one is found who is so honest as to admit that "boodle" was the object in view. But then Mr. Keitt claims that he is only speaking of the national Demo cratic party. Grant that, yet the con vention to which he is a delegate is called for the purpose of sending dele gates to the convention of this national Democratie- party. It is all very strange to The Herald and News. The county convention of which Mr. Keitt was president passed the follow ing resolutions: Resolved, By the Democracy of New berry County, in convention assembled, That we hereby reiterate and declare our faith in the Democratic party. Resolved, further, That the Democ racy of Newberry County, in conven tion assembled, do hereby pledge to abide the rcilt of the primary election and to supv:t, the Democratic nomi nees-National, State and County. There was no protest against these resolutions so far as we have heard. Mr. Keitt was present and in the chair and he never opened his mouth in op position so far as we have been in formed. He must have assented to a declara tion of faith in the Democratic party "National, State and County." There must be something wrong about all this. Surely Mr. Keitt would not pledge his faith in and willingness to support a party that he believed to be '-dead to patriotism," and only aftei "boodle," and be willing to take part in a convention to send delegates to a national convention. There is sonlething very strange about all this. If Mr. Keitt holds and believes what is written in the Cotton Plant he certainly should not, in jus tice to himself, take part in the State Convention to which he has been elected a delegate. THE PRELIMINARY PRI3IARY. In this day of ring smashing it is a little strange that efforts should be made by these same smashers to form bigger rings, but such is the case. We are to have a general primary in the Democratic party for the nomination of public officials, but the leaders are not satisfied to submit'their chances to the people along with other people, but want to have a little compact of: their own and bind their friends to combine for their own success. Two caucuses have already been held by the leaders to fix things up for the dear people, and, at the last one, it was decided to order a club primary of their faction and bind this minority to support the choice of this primary. The caucus worked for the convention and it worked beautifully. Whether the people will continue to be led around by the leaders is for the people them selves to say. The Herald and News does not be lieve they will submit to dictation in one set of men any more than they will in another, and as we have a gen eral primary in which each man can exercise his right and privilege to vote for the best men for the offices as his judgment may dictate, we believe the people will exercise this and spurn any efforts to bInd them before hand. Other wise what is the use of a general prim ary? Let each candidate come out for the office he desires and submit his case to the verdict of all the Democratic voters in the general primary. This other scheme is gotten up in the interest of a few men who want the offices and are afraid to risk their chances to all the Democratic voters in a free, fair, open and manly fight. We believe the peo lare competent to judge of the fit f the candidates without any such proposed dictation, and that they will demand and exercise that right. The two clubs that were to have met last 5-aturday we understand failed to have a quorum present. 9'he News and Courier published a few days ago reports from all the coun ties in the State on the reduction of the cotton acreage. The reports show that there has been a general redue tion of acreage in the whole State of about 2.5 per cent. If this has been general throughout the Cotton Belt it will be worth some thing, but if the reduction Is confined to South Carolina, it will not amount to anything much in reducing the p)ro duction. The thing needed in South Carolina is not so much a reduction in acreage as that every farm shall be self-sus taining outside of the cotton crop. If to produce thlI state of affairs a reduc tion in acreage wvas necessary, why then, by all means, we should have ai reduction of acreage. The thing above every other, for every farmer in South Caroli'ia, is to raise his own "hog and hominy" and then just a much cotton as he can. A QUESTION OF LAW, Governor Tillman appointed Ira B. Jones, Esq., to sit on th' Supreme Court in certain cases in which Justice Pope was disqualified by reason of having been counsel in them. Mr. Jones is a member of the Legisla ture. The attorneys in the cases, Mes srs. Caldwell, Culbreath & Sale, raised the point that Mr. Jones was disquali fied under Article 1, Section 26, of the Constitution. As soon as the matter was called to the attention of Mr. Jones he said the point was well taken, and addressed a letter to the Governor aii,g that his appointment b,, revok eu. Mr. Jones' letter is published in this issue. The Herald and News thinks Mr. Jones took the proper view of the matter, and we commend him for the course he took. No doubt the provision of the Constitution was over looked by Governor Tillman when the appointment was made. The law is as clear, it seems to us, as language can make it. The attorneys attached no blame to any one in the matter, but as the rights of their clients were involv ed it was their duty to use every pre caution to have a legal and valid ver dict or opinion. But it seems nothing can be done now, but an effort is made to make po litical capital out of it. Lieutenant-Governor Gary was also appointed to sit in place of Justice Mc Gowan for a similar reason in some Abbeville case. He seems anxious to occupy the bench, and will not act with the same becoming grace and mcdesty as did Mr. Jones, but proposes to force the issue. He first gets an opinion from Attorney-General Mc L.urin. This is in his favor. It is .published also. The Register has writ ten two long editorials in vindication arid, we presume, substantiation ex tenuation, and explanation of the opinion. Wj: do not propose to argue the point further than- to say that the reasoning of General McLaurin is, to our mind, entirely wroug, as we believe the Supreme Court will hold when the question conies up. The Article of the Consti tution in question reads as follows: "In the government of this Common wealth the Legislative, Executive and Judicial powers of the Government shall be forever separate and distinct from each other, and no person or per sons exercising the functions of one of said departments shall assume or dis charge the duties of any other." We regret that Mr. Gary is going to force the matter as far as he is, because there is nothing to be gained by it. It is a question of law, and we see noth ing Mr. Gary can gain by pushing the matter. When we carry politics into our courts and on the bench, the liber ties of our people will be getting in danger. Captain V. E. McBee has been offerec the Superintendency of the Vanderbilt system. If he accepts he will resign his present position as Superintendent of the Central ctout the first of June. We would regret very much to have Captain McBee leave the South, but congratulate him on this recognition of his ability as a railroad man. He stands now at the head of railroad men in the South. Our cotemporary talks about being an open daylight newspaper. The Herald and News would like to know if it means to insinuate that some othts in these parts are not open daylight newspapers, and which ones; if not, what. There is no use of dark insinuations by an open daylight newspaper. The Alliance leaders, who met at Bir mingham the other day for consulta tion refused to endorse the Third party and issued an address to their bretbren. The address together w ith the proceed ings is published this week. We ask our friends to give the pro. ceedings a careful reading. Thereis one paragraph to which we desire to direct attention. The "few localities" men tioned are ver.y numerous in these parts and if-the office "seeks the man" the man is very sure to get right in the way so that the office will not have much trouble in finding the man-the only difficulty being to choose between the great many who are getting in the The Greenville Democrat says it has enough o:f personalities and wants peace. Well, really, then you had bet ter practice what you preach. It will b-e interesting to see what the Alliance will do with Governor Till. man. The Register is faithful, and de fends Governor Tillman's position even against the Alliance brethren. THE REAsON. We can conceive of only one reason why Governor Tillmian should say he would rather go to hell with the Till manites than to heaven with the antis, and that is, the devil must have offered him a free pass.-Pickens Sentinel. Mr. Cleveland seems to be the spon taneous choice of the Democrats of the country for the nomination for the presidency, and the indicatins now are that he will be the nominee on the first ballot. Hill does not seem to be "in it" so to speak. Ifs man desires to join the Demo cric party he has a right to do so. If he desires to leave it, he has the same right. But a man should not belong to ne party and act and affiliate with an other at the same time. It is not in good taste to do so. The Cotton Plant gives Gov. Tillman a sort of half-hearted endorsement in its last issue. The Governor's opposi ion to the sub-Treasury does not set well with our cotemporary. It says "half-hearted support of Alliance mess res can scarcely fail to result in half hearted support of him by many earn st lliancemen." The Governor, you know, started out t wo years ago for measures, not men, but we presume he has kinder modified that position now, and would like to reverse it at least Governor Tillman is negotiating for another new boat for the use of Phose pate Inspector Jones. He ought to get one for Cally Caughman now, and South Carolina could have a young nvy very soon. .a1.J 1L L' 1 TVT 1JL LA I a . AL THIRD PARTY ORATORS. The Rev. Sam Jones has the follow ing to say about Third party orators: "I think the Third party orators on their hunt for votes ought to be served like the hunter accidentally served his painter dog. The dog was on a point, and his tail up, the hunter shot, missed the bird, but shot the dog's tail oft; the dog turned around, picked up his tail in his mouth and brought it to his master. I think the people ought to send the Third party hunters back honie . Yours, S. P. J.'' JOHNSTONE ON THEIR LIST. We see it stated that lawyer Blease and Dr. Pope, of Newberry, may be candidates for Congress against George Johnstone. We may as well inform these gentlemen that the people of Pickens have the name of George Johnstone down on their list, and they are going to keep it there and vote for him for the next six years to come. Let us say to you, gentlemen, it will be the boss job of either of your lives to turn George out of Congress short of at least three more terms, provided he be haves himself, and we have no fears but that he will.-Easley Democrat. President Stokesof the Alli. me, who is also a member of the State Conven tion as a delegate from Oraugeburg, has called a caucus of the Alliance del egates to the State Convention to meet beforehand and, A e presume, to adopt a policy and map out the work for the convention. That may be right and Democratic, but we hardly think so. Are trial justices to be voted for by the whole county, or by townships, or by any other territorial limits? Or are they to be voted for at all? Will our county chairman, Mr. Sligh, please en lighten us on this point? A good many people have asked the question. Another story is afloat that Editor Williams, of the Greenville News, con templates leaving the State. Some people seem very much interested in Mr. Williams and his private affairs. We suspect there are some people who would be delighted to see Editor Wil liams leave South Carolina, just now. We should regret it very much. The town council at ts meeting last Thursday night appoin wd a committee to get up some facts and figures in re gard to the cost and saving to the town of a system of water works. The Her ald and News hopes this committee will prosecute the inquiry with all promptness and thorough ness, and we are satisfied it can be demonstrated where it will not only be a great con venience to the people of Newberry, but also an actual saving to them to have a thorough system of water works. Newberry needs to get a move on her if she expects to keep pace with the other live towns of the State. WILL THE ALLIANCE BOSS THE DE MOCRACY? Cal for a Conference of Alliancemen who are Delegates to the State Conven tion .How the Delegates are Divided. [The News and Courier.1 COLUMBIA, May 6.--It might seem a little strange, but it would perhaps be an appropriate question to ask whether the convention on 1Sth instant is to be one of democrate or alliancemen3; w heth er the Democrats as alliancemen are going to run the the convention, or the alliance men as democrats are going to have charge of matters? Is the demo cracy of the convention to be secondary to alliance ideas, and is an alliance or democratic platform to be adopted? In the Cotton Plant of to-morrow the following call will be published. "All alliance men who are delegates to the State democratic convention, which meets in Columbia, May 18, are requested to meet at Agricultural hall on the 17th, at 5 o'clock p. in., for the purpose of holding a conference. "J. WMr. STOKES. "Delegate from Orangeburg County." No one can accurately anticipate the action of this conference, but there is no reason to believe that it will, be other than a caucus, at which, besides agreeing upon a platform, the delegates to be elected, the officers and every thing else will be decided upon. Man aging Editor Bowden was seen by me to-day, and he said that so far as he knew the conference had been called to "protect the interest of the alliance in national politics," He did not care to speculate on the official work that would be undertaken by the confer The alliance men will be in a very considerable majority in the May con vention, and can do practically what they want as alliancermen, without re gard to thbe other delegates, Mr. Bowden, who has been studying up the question and complexion of the delegates, assisted in making up the following ta.bulated statement, giving *the division of alliance men and non alliance men, the preference of all doubts being to the alliance: Dele- Non gates.

[News and Courier. I OLUBAa, May 9.-Lieutenant Gov ernor Gary is being advised by friends, poitical and otherwise, not to push his caim to the Supreme Court Bench in the now famous case in which he was appointed to sit by Governor Tillman. The personal relationship between th counsel in the case and Mr. Gary and the constitutional objectio.n to his quaification are being used .to pnrsuade "m, and it is not at all improbable h atm aferal thle taet will not be AS GOOD AS NOMJ -TED" Grover Cleveland Must Win at Chicago The Consensus ut Opinion Among Knowing Politieians in Washing ton. [Special to the News and Courier.] WASHINGTON,MayS.--\othing short of a political earthquake can now pre vent the nomination of Grover Cleve land for the Presidency by the Dem ocratic party. This is no mere idle as sertion. It is a prediction based on facts and figures and upon the univer sal sentiment expressed by those fa miliar with the political situation. Up to the present time 3(0 delegates to the Chicago Convention have been elected. This is almost one-half of the entire number to be chosen. What is the general expression of opinon regard ing Cleveland as shown by the action of the various conventions ? Is he he ing put to one side, ignored, or sugared over wi.h faint words of praise? Let the record speak for itself. Six States have instructed their dei egates to vote for Cleveland at Chicago. These States are: Kansas, with 20 votes; Michigan, with 28; Minnesota, with 18; North Dakota, with 6; Rhode Island, with 8, and Wisconsin, with 24. Michigan, Minnesota and Wiscon sin went so far as to direct that their delegates should vote as a unit. In addition to these 104 i::tructed dele gates 210 have been elected from other States, like Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Nebraska, Ver mont, etc., and who although not spe cifically instructed are known to be favorable to Cleveland and will vote for him on the first and succeed ing ballots. Consequently Cleveland has to-day, with the Convention still six weeks distant, 314 delegates out of the necessary 600 and this, too, with out any indecent scrambling upon his part. All these votes have come to him as the enthusiastic offering of Democrats who believe he can lead them to victory. In addition to these 314 Cleveland delegates there have been chosen just 78 other delegates. Of these, 72 from New York are, through the manipu lation of a machine which did not ex press the popular feeling, for David B. Hill. The other 6 are from Wyoming. They have been put in the Hill col umn, but Senator Warren, who used to be Governor of the State and knows the predilections of the Democrats as well as the Republicans, told me tc day that at least 3 of the delegates were for Cleveland. Whatever delegates Hill has thus far secured have been dragged into his camp by almost brute force and by the earnest exertions of political strikers. Directly contrary is the feeling which actuates those who are so ardent in their devotion toCleveland. Take for instance some expressions from prominent Dem ocratic Congressmen which I have taken the trouble to gather for the purpose of satisfying honest curiosity as to the extent of the Cleveland feel ing. I asked Representative Chipman, of Michigan, a leader on the floor and a distinguished member of the foreign affairs committee, whether the action of the Democratic Convention in his State represented the popular sense: "There is no doubt of it," he replied. "When you think for a moment that in Michigan we have no Democratic machine with which to manipulate the primaries, when you remember that these Democrats who are so anxious for Cleveland's nomination have come of their own free will to urge his selec tion, you must realize that it is a popu lar outpouring of feeling and not an exhibition of one-man power. I tell you, sir, that the Democrats in Mich igan will crawl to the polls to vote if Cleveland is nominated. You cannot keep them away." Representative Beltzhoover, of Penn sylvania, who was the chairman of the recent State Convention, told me that Cleveland was the first choice of all the Democrats in the State. He believes that Cleveland can undoubtedly be elected. In Massachusetts, Represen tative Andrew says, Cleveland can poll more votes than Governor Russell, while any other Democrat will run be hind the party ticket. "The nomina tion of Gormani or Flower," said he, "would be like a cold blanket to New England." As for Illinois,. Senator Palmer ad mitted to me, despite his own Presi dential aspirations, that the majority of the people of the State were for Cleve land. Representative Bynum, of In diana, says that his State, if Cleveland is nominated, can be carried by the Democracy as against H arrison or an.s - body else whom the Republicans may name. Postmaster Dalton,of the House, a veteran Indiana Democratic politi cian, says that if Harrison is nominated it will be harder for the Democrats to carry the State than otherwise; but if Harrison is not nojninated and Cleve land is, he says the State will go Demo cratic by 2.5,000. I could repeat by the column such opinions as these, gathered at random at the Capitol. I learn from close friends of Senator Hill that the growth of the Cleveland sentiment has made the New York man very despondent, nor have his spirits beep lighted by the rj mor that Tammaany may throw him over after all, if he does not begin to gain more strength. Just now Hill is making a desperate struggle to capture delegates in Virginia, but Representa tive Warner, who went down into the State to see what progress he was miak ing, returned a day or two ago with the report that the attempt to create a Hill boom in the Old Dominion was a lamentable failure. In New Jersey, where it is said that there is nothing but a Hill sentiment, a Clevelad rally of enormous proportions was held a few evenings ago. Repre sentative McKinney, who was present and made a speech, says that he heard the statement that if Cleveland is no'm inated New Jersey would go Democrat ic by 10,00Q to L5,00, but that the nom ination of any other Pemnocrat means the loss of the State. No wonder those Democrats who have the welfare of the party at heart say that it is not a mat ter now for Cleveland to determine whether or not he shall be a candidate. The party~is determined to iall t)pon him to lead them, and he oust put aside his personal wishes and accept the call of duty. Ordertug~ a Etate V~esseI. [The State, 0th.)1 A fter completing his business ini the ntional capital, Governor Tiliman went to New York, where he spent some days. He went there for the purpose of examining vessels with the I view of ordering a new coastwise ves sel for the use of the Phosphate Inspec tor in this State under the direction of the Phosphate Commissionl. It has been lately discovered that the vessel .a present~owned by the State is totally unfit for service required of her, being dangerous when o!Jt im a rough sea, and some time ago the vese1 was sent Nrt. The Governor held consulta tins wth several boat builders in ew York, and personally exained (e vessels, but so far has not ordered Wnhile in New York, and after the completion of the transaction of his. business, Governor Tillman spent somei time In seeing the Metropohis, and he hs much to say of the many things he saw in the city of cities. He stated yesterday afternoon that* he had seen none of the home papers while away, and conseouently did not now much about politics just now. He declines to talk on the prospects for the May convention.I ADVERTISED LETT~ERs. Pos-r OFFICE, NEwBERRI', s. C.
