ELBER~T H. ATJLL, EDITor NEWBERRY. S. C. ELBERT H. AULL, Z Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, S WED.ESDIY, MlY 2-. 189. THE STATE CONVENTION. On the outer page of this week's issue of The Herald and News may be found a full report of the late State Conven tion held in Columbia last week. The editor of The Herald and News was in Columbia and saw part of the proceed ings. There was no need for the con vention to be in session half as long as it was. The caucus which met the night before the convention had virtu ally completed the work the conven tion was expected to do. The caucus was not altogether har monious. Th"re was a Third Party sentiment in the caucus, but that sen timent did not prevail. The Ocala platform prevailed in the caucus, and also in the convention. Gov. Tillman told the caucus that the South must continue to stand with the North and East. We had been of the opinion that the Alliance leaders had been ad vocating an alignment with the West as against the "gold bugs" of the East. But then you cannot always sometimes tell just what the politicians are after except that you can always be pretty certain that they want the offices. The report gives the list of delegates to the Chicago Convention. It has usually been customary for the dele gates from each Congressional District to meet and elect or rather suggest to the convention the delegates from their district. In the case of the fourth district, the delegates from Spartan burg and Richland were not notified of the meeting as they were known to be opposed to Tillman :.nd in favor of Cleveland. The anti-Cleveland and Tillman del egates were larg'ely in the majority and they carried things their own way. The convention pledged support to the nominees of the Chicago Convention, and also to the platform to be adopted at that time. This will rather knock out the Ocala platform and the Third party folks who were in the convention. The most unkind and uncalled for thing done by the convention was the adoption of resolutions denoucing Cleveland. He is undoubtedly to-day the most prominent man in the Demo cratic party in this country. He is the only Democratic president we have had in the past thirty years, and his public record and private character have stood the test, and now because he has the manhood to express his honest convictions and says he is op-. posed to the free coinage of silver he is to be denounced by the Democratic Convention of South Carolina as the tool of Wall Street. Well, we presume he can stand it. There are a lot more people who have not been able to see the great panacea to come from the free coinage of silver. What was the need of thbe convention to pass resolutions or pretend to adopt a platform any way? By our constitu tion its only business was to elect dele gates to the National convention and to elect a member of the National Com mittee. Besides this, it has adopted a platform and at the same time pledged itEelf to adlopt the platform of the National Convention, which means that at the next convention the resolu tions adopted last week will have to be rescinded. From one o'clock on Wednesday night until 3 a. in., the speotacle in the convention was not a pleasant one to look upon. It did not impress the un prejudiced spectator with the idea that it wvas composed of sentient beings in tent upon doing that which would re dound to the welfare of the people. It rather took on the habiliments of a mob. It was sad to behold. It all came about in the effort to pass resolu tions endorsing the State administra tion just as if it needed endorsement from the State Convention. The en dorsement was finally passed, but the pOTrts and the manner of those who engineered it rather worked injury to the administration. The burning elo quence of Jno. Gary Evans and Callie Caughman was a little too much for some of them. Col. Jno. C. Haskell made a speech -entering his protest against the resolu tions, giving his reasons for not favor ing the resolutions. Juo. Gary Evans undertook to reply, but instead entered into a bitter personal attack of Col. Haskeli .:h was disgusting in the extrena .ad entirely wanton and un called for. Coi. Hlaskell made a digni fied reply and made friends by it. It is proper in a Demnoeratic country. that the majority should rule. but it is also proper that the rights of the mi nority should be respected. The ni nority had little show in t he conven tion. The chairman ruled to suit his side. Well, it is all right so long as it is right, but the end will come by and by. Congressman Lieingston, of Georgia, says that Col. L. L. Polk has about concluded to abandon the Third Party idea. He believes it is hopeless and gives it up. Mr. Polk has recently been over to .North Carolina to attend the Democratic State convention, and he sees he has no chance of sucess in his own State. The Herald and News is glad that the State Campaign has been so arranged that it will be a long time before the meeting is held at New berry. We do not need to be stirred up yet. The mnore quiet we can have during the next few months the better it will be. Every man can vote to suit himsel.. The executive committee has side tracked the prohibition issue by giv ing a separate box to test the sentiment of the people. No one will be bound kb. that pln. n It is plain that the South Carolina delegates will go io Chicago as non conformists, having no objects in com mon with the Democratic party, but with a platform of so-called "princi ples" directly antagonistic to the old Democratic creed. Their proper mis sion would have been to Omaha.-At lanta Journal. Possibly so, in one sense. But then if you will read all the proceedings of our convention you will see that we have instructed our delegates and pledged our convention to stand by the nominees and platform of the National Democratic Convention. True, that is a little contradictory to the resolutions adopted by the convention, but then the convention had no right under the call and the constitution to do any thing towards adopting a platform. We will be alright, and South Carolina will cast her electoral vote for Grover Cleveland when the time comes. We do not believe the Third party has any considerable hold on the peo ple of South Carolina. She will stand solidly in the Democratic column, and shoulder to should:r with the Demo cratic nominees. In the death of Mr. 0. N. Flanders in Columbia last Saturday morning the press has lost a good and true man. We knew him well and we only knew him to respect and admire him. We sincerely regret his death, while yet in the prime of young manhood. Why did the Cotton Plant omit from its report of the State Conven tion the Fesolutions pledging allegiance to the Democratic party ? Possibly the Cotton Plant does not remember that such resolutions were adopted. The Georgia State Convention was decidedly for Cleveland. Mis. Jas. G. Blaine has consented to let her husband enter the race for the Presidency if the party needs his ser vices. We presume his health is im proving. Gov. Tillman has backed down in his opposition to the sub-treasury and in the caucus in Columbia last week said if he could not take the AllIance with him he was going with the Alli ance. Brave Ben no longer! Pity it is, isn't it? But then it is nothing like going with the crowd, especially if you can get a lit ;le ahead and get the crowd to shove you into office. The new railroad deal by which the Atlantic Coast Line gets charge of the Columbia, Newlerey and Laurens Railroad, is a good thing for Newberry. It puts us in touch with the three big railroad systems that co'i'e into South Carolina-the Richmond and Danville, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Sea Board Air Line. The Columbia, New berry and Laurens is a very important ink in the chain, and it is still owned y our own people. The damage by the overflow in the M1issouri and Mississippi rivers is esti ated at $50,000,000. Mr. Watson, of Georgia, has succeed d after repeated requests in getting he consent of Congress to have the Committee on Ways and Means to re ort the subtreasury bill. So it will now come up for consideration, and ot die in the hands of the committee. POLK FO:& PRESIDENT. The Third Party Finally Organized In Northt Carolina. BA LEIG H, N. C., May 22.-The peo l's party bere has organized by elect ng W. R. Lindsay, of Rockingham ounty, chairman of the State com mittee. M2etings have been ordered o be ha'. in every county in the State on the 11th of next month, to organize ommittees to elect delegates to Omaha and to nominate candidates for Con ress.

CH ARLOTTE, .N. C., May 2.-The Third party in North Carolina is regu arly organized. Seventy-five counties were represented in its convention to ay, W. L. Lindsay of Madison, pre sided, C. N. Jervis of Marshall was secretary. The following resolution wa uanimously adopted : "Resolt'ed, That this being the first regularly organized People's party con vention of the State of North Carolina, we cannot let this occasion pass with ot saying to the people of the United States that in the person of L. L. Polk ws have the patriot, statesman, the Cristian gentleman in whom we have very confidence. His ability, integri y and purity full qualifies him for any osition fn the gift of the American )eople, and at Omaha, Neb., in July we prapose to present our valued citi z,en as a candidate for the Presidency." Chairman Lindsay, as head of the executive committee, was directed to ake immiediate action in having each ongressional district represented at maha on July 2. This afternoon he issued an address to the people of the State in behalf of the People's party. n this, county canventions are ordered o held June 11, and Congressional con eetions June ]G, the former to choose elegates to thbe latter and to determine v et her they wi put a county ticket in the field. Various district conventions will elet four de!egates anid alternates to the Omaha convention. Death of Mr. 0. N. Fladers. (Special to News and Courier.] COLUMIA, M:ay 20.-Columbia has lost one of her best and most untirmg~ ewspaper men. Trhere was nowhere a ore conscientious, a more popular, md a maore generous mnan than Olin N. landers, who for years was connected with the Columbia Register. Mr. Flan iers was a native of Manchester, N. H., md poor health induced him to come ~outhI. He soon became a member of e staff of the Augusta Chronicle and ubseuent!v came to Columbia, wvhere e has lived for about five years. He ade a long and brave struggle against ~onsmflptioni, and not long ago he went o Colorado in search of a change for the better, but returned home to die. '. Flanders would not give up the tuggle and never went to bed, but Sas always as cheerful as possible. His work on the Register was eminenm y atisfactory. A bout a year ago he ?ntered the insurance business under sir. Edward L. Geruand. He leaves a wife and a bright little oy, seven years old. Te funeral services will be held to uorrow and the body will be sent to his old home in New Hampshire for TEE OPIP.ESSED AND TIE O~PP: ESS ORS. These Two Classes to Constitate the Two Great Parties of the Future-So the Sage of Euoree Says-An Ap peal to Carolinians to Ronse Thei selves. To the Editor of The Herald and News: The lirst and greatest care of every man is his wife and children. The first and greatest care of every commucity is good government, with laws judiciously and- impartially ad ministered. Let us calmly review and carefully analyze our condition. A great deal is said about a Third party. There never can be more than two great parties, the oppressed and the oppressors. Who constitute the oppressed? Th'le Democrats. Who are Democrats? Those who produce the wealth, bear the burdeis and fight the battles of the nation. These and these alone are Democrats. They are simon pure. They are of the first water. Who are the oppressors? Those who hold the gold bags, and who, when trouble comes. like their gold, hide out. In the two old parties, these are min gled. The time is at band for a new alignment of parties. Let the op pressed get under their banners, and the oppressors and!their hireli:: s under theirs. This is a necessity if our libea ties and free institutions are saved. The new alighnment can only take place by a change of name. If it occurs. it will be the third tirnin the history of the republic. The first was in 1796, under the lead of Jefferson, when the namae of the People's party was changed from anti-Federal to Republican. The second in 1S26, under Jackson, when the name was changed from Re publican to Democratic. Let it now be called plain People's. The same causes that made a new alignment of parties then, exist now only to a greater extent. Citizens of the State, think well on it and act wisely. The three National parties will soon meet severally in convention. The Republican at Mineapolis, the Demo cratic, so-called, at Chicago and the People's at Omaha. Let us pass by the Republican that will meet at Mineapo lis. It does not concern us in this anal ysis of our condition. On the 21st of June, the representa tives of the gold bags and bond holders will meet at Chicago. They are the oppressors. Mr. Cleveland is the best representative they have. He is a manly man. He is able, well-poised and heroic. He has declared by words and deeds where he stands. He is the defender and protector of the gold kings and bondholders, and says so. He ought to be nominated at Chicago by acclamation. 'The writer has great ad mration for Mr. Cleveland as he has for all money men. In 1884, he made forty speeches in New York and New Jersey gratis in advocacy of his elec tion. We are now antipodes on the financial question which is the supreme question. On its right - solution the writer believes the safety of our liberties and the perpetuity of our free institu tions depend. The sore need and im perative demand is more money and itd equitable distribution. To get it the financial system must be revolutionized and changed. 1776 representations of twenty-one organizations of those who prodnee the wealth, bear the burdens and fight the battles of the nation, will meet on the 4th day of July, at Omaha, and declare and promulgate the second Declaration f Independence. These are simon pure Denmocrats. They are of the first water. This is the true and loyal Democratic convention. We have under our banner near 6,000, 00 voters. If they p rove loyal to their plighted faith, and I b,elieve they will, victory will perch upon our banners in November next. Alliancemenl be loyal o our demands and true to our plighted faith. WVhen the time comes for bold and determined action, and it is near at hand, hesitate not to brush aside the ittle fellows who, to get into oflice and feather their nests, play the role of "Tickle me, Johnny; tickle me. do; You tickle me, and Pil tickle you.-' These little fellows are looking out, for themselves, they have no care for God or humanity. Alliancemen, if our efforts are crowned with success we must follow intelligent leaders, heroic and loyal to our demands from convic tion of their righteousness. The late convention held in Columbia was dominated by Tillman and Irby, two ignorant and selfish leaders who have no respect for God or care for their ontry. That body stifled the little intelligence and manhood that was in it, and followed them blindly. They had no more authority to frame and adopt a platform than they have to nact laws for the United States. Siuth Carolina has been put in a false position by these two men. Tillman and his gang will meet with no respect at Chicago. They are en titled to none. They will fail to miake a success ful trade for the patronage of the State. Mr. Cleveland will get the nommnationi. He is clean. He will have nothing to o with those who do dirty work. The writer sorely regrets he cannot support him as be did in 1884 because we are antiodes on the financial question. Of all the States of the Republic, the history of South Carolina is the most glorious. She has ever led in deeds of beroie virtue. She wvas the first of the bhirte:: colonie.s that declared her self a free and independent State. Hers was the first institution of government that was framed and adopted. Henry Middleton, a South Carolinian, pre sided over the Continental Conmgress that determined on war with Great Britain. The first time old Englaud's power on the high seas was roiled back from this continent, was by the inmmior tal Moultrie's guns onm Sullivans Islan d. Bancroft, the great historian, tells us the first tidal wave in that iighty coni test that eventuated in the establish mnt of the sovereignty of the States and the liberties of thle people, wv'i first rolled hack fromi King's mountain in South Carolina. In the late wvar, be tween the States, South Carolina led with a voting populattion of sixty thous and; she put sixty-five thousand sol diers into the field. The amnuals of the human race tell us of no such people. Of that vast number it would be curi ous to know how many of time Tlillman gang wvho are' pre-eminently "in for revenueony," were in the wvar. One, at least, who is loud in their counsels, the first fight his cormpa4ny was in, lie it out and left. lie lifted his feet so a a b,uliet could not cateh hinm. Hie made straight for the hospital and yel low lag, and never lessened his speed until he got safely within the walls of the one and under the folds of the other. He could never be induced to return to his comimandi. Th"e end of the war found him utier the yellow flag attending to the sick and rounded. A safe place, Hie is now in congenial company. The writer is as proud of his native Carolina and of the noble meni and women who enlmhed her in imper ishable glor'y as ever was, the A thenian, >ffthens,wen crownmed wit h her great est renowni. IHow long, 0 Carolinians, will you permit our graud(ly immiortal State to be ra"ishedi by a gang of spoi en who are "ini for revenue only." Rouse yourselves to deeds (of heroic vir tue, suh as your ancestors displayed in days gone 'by and show to the world tat von are sons worthy of their sub imest efforts. Know that when the sentiment of a people for heroic su' virtuous deeds is extinguished, iie. liberties are dead. T'he safety of ourj amilies and homes and the honor of the State demand that we should he aive and all aglow to the fact that only men of intelligence, virtue and loyal to principles should be elected to places of power and trust. Party and personal ity should count as nothing. Merit alone should be considered. in redeeming the State and saving her from being God-cursed and God-aban doned, by filling every place of power and trust with God-loving and capable men. Let there be no rest until cur people are made to see the truth and the State is in virtuous and safe hands. Respectfully, ELLISON S. KEITT. The Campaign Schedule. [Special to News and Courier.1 CoLUMBIA, May 17.-The State De mocratic executive committee met to night in the Carolina National Bank building. The session was very brief, as the committee wished to adjourn so as to allow the Alliance delegates to attend a caucus. Senator Irby submitted a schedule of meetings for the campaign. The mem ber from Marlboro stated that, as there was a Confederate celebration on the date assigned for the county meeting, he would ask that it be changed. A committee, consistig of Messrs Pope, Gray and Wilerby, was appointed to consider the matter and report to-mor row norning. The schedule as sub mitted, and which will be adopted with very little, if any changes is as follows: Barnwel1...........June 7 Suiter.

Nettles, of Darlington, ap peared before the committee on behalf of the Prohibition party in South Caro liua. He asked the committee to allow seperate boxes to be placed at each precinct at the primary, at which votere could vote for prohibition or license. The only question the Prohi bitionists would be asked would he whether they would carry out the will of the majority of the voters. Mr. Nettles proposes in this wvay to take the matter out of the Gubernato rial contest, and if posible to secure control of the Legislature. Mr. Nettles states that only two members opposed the plan and that was through a roisun derstanding. The committee decided it had no right to prepare such a box without authority, and if tie Conven ltion to-morrow authorized such a box it would be arranged. PROHI BITION IN THE PRIIM AR!ES. [Special to News and Courieir. l COLUMBIA, May 1.-The executive committee through Chairman Irby has issued the following reply to the applica tion of Mhr. C. S. Nettles, of Clareudon, with reference to placing Prohibition over Prohibition boxes at the Democra tic primary : Dear Sir: Replying to yourcotritnuni cation of same date in reference to tile action of the Democratic State execu tive committee last night on te prohi bition question, permit me to say the committee decided that if the placing of a seperate box at each club voting place in the State, in wlaiich the ques tion of prohibition or no prohibition could be voted on, would meet the wishes of the temperance element of the State, that the State executive committee whoud instrctth serbhal issunty eecutloinepl omttos the pia wStaterne to placngrohiitionatec clverPohbtin places ts pupoeocra reul tor eplyingated your anouned cte same ate intrervoesc o the bton quesitio,prit are tonfiayn the plaremrt in the State.ih h us tion. ol Dealriiin Dry Gods prohieitin could b votedgn,mwul mettb Poole, of lare dealerainc drygoos,no tions cloe,thgand hes taseedctve day.mN.tB.

[Special to News and Courier.1 COLtMBIA, May 21.-Rumor has it that the Alliance men are so n.uiri elated at their success at the recent Convention that they are going to as sert in county atairs the authority they suppose they hold. The leaders, it is claimed, argue: "If we can dic tate platforms and tickets in State poli ties, why not do so in county affltirs: Nothing is lost by the effort." It it known that at least in several counties, in which the Allian.-e has considerable { strength, there is talk of Alliance con ferences at which suurgestions will be made for Alliance suffrage in the rri inaries. It remains to be seen whethei the Alliance will (teal with the Non Alliance men, who are in reality oi supposedly in sympathy with their de mands. The Alliance men may not be able to elect their counaty officers wit) out the a_sistance of Non-Allianee nien, In case of the Alliance a?ting inde pendently, there is harily any chance of anticipating the many curious com binations that ma~ 'nsue. A stront Tillinanite, talking about the situation said that talking for his own county (Abbeville) the Alliance could not carry over 900 votes out of about 3,2X white votes in the county. To say the least, very niany of the now prtrniinnt Tillmanites, who went into the move ment in the hope of securing oflice, are somewhat disconcerted over the pos-i bility of the prospects of the Al!ianct taking suoh an i:tip:rtant role in the coniing fight. If the unadulterated Alliance cater-hism is to he put to many of the candidates, especially the law yers, there is liable to be some curiout acrobatic performances. Watch the Alliance in State, as well as State and Alliance, politics for interesting devc lopment! There is liable to be a funny and unexpected act in rehearsal behind the scenes. Which iR Which?
