WEDIESDAY, JXNE 1.. 1-S2.
"THE ADDRESS."
The address issued by the caucus is
"rich, rare and racy," and long. It is a
matchless address. We do not re
member ever to have seen one its qual.
We presume it is meant as a rallying
cry. The "reformers," as they call
themselves, must think the situation is
dangerous indeed. The pastious must
be stirred and the predjudiets aroused,
otherwise the offices they want can't
be obtained.
What argument is used to convince
the voter that he must support Till
manites for office simply because they
say they are Tillmanites, without any
other qualification?
The address says we must 'elect a
Legislature in sympathy withGovernor
Tillman so that he can redeem his
promises. He had a Legislature in
sympathy with him two years and he
himself says they were "driftwood,"
as an explanation for a failure to carry
into execution his promises. What
good will another Legislature in sym
patby with him do? No, if Gov. Till
man were iade the Legislature him
self, as well as the Executive, he would
never carry out his proniiFes-the,
were not made to be carried out.
What we want to 'do in Newberry,
as good and true and manly men com
petent and fit to exercise the right of
suffrage, is to vote for and elect to the
Legislature the best men for the place,
regardless of whether they are tackted
on to the coat-tail of Gov. Tillman or
anybody else. That is the object and
purpose of our primary, and every man
ought to fevi irtee to go to the p-lls
when the primaries come and vote as
a free white citizen, as his individual
judgment may dictate, for the best
men.
The address speaks of the voters of
this county as sheep and goats. That
is, in our judgment, very undignitied,
and is only intended to appeal to the
passions and prejudices of the people,
and not to the ir reason or judgment.
We are really *Urprised at such expres
sions emanating from such a source.
We have read the address very care
fully and really we have not been able
to see one argument in it which should
or could appeal to the reason of any
man. Only two hundred and fifty votes
out of the nineteen hundred in the
county were represented in the caucus,
yet they are the people, according to
the address.
We are again surprised that the ad
dress should try to arouse that old plea
of the town against thbe country. There
is absolutely nothing in it. The town
people have nothing but the kindest of
feelings towards the people who live in
the country, and rejoice at their suc
cess, but they know, and the peopleC
themselves will by and by know, tha
the election of a few individuals to of
fice can never bring prosperity to the
people. This movement has had the
offices for two years and how much bet
ter off are the people from it?
A lot of promises were made during
the campaign two years ago, and we
all have to work just as hard for a liv
ing as ever before and wvill have to con
tinue to do so. We will never get re
lief from politics and electing men to
office. Of course it is the duty of every
citizen to take an active part in secur
ing good government, and1 the only
and best way to do that is by putting
the best men in office.
The Register got a "scoop" on the
other papers in the case of A itorney
General McLaurin's speech at Hamp
ton, and printed it in full next mor:
ing in addition to a Pynospis of it, also.
Mr. McLaurin muat have furnished
"advanced sheets" o:' the same before
he left Columbia. "The youngest A t
torney General," etc., should not be so
p:e.'.ial in the distribution of his favors,
etc.
The campaign in this State opened
last Tuesday at Barnwell. We pub
lish a condensed report of the meeting
at Hampton. The Speeches at all of
these places were about the samie. At
Barnwell, Hampton and Beau fort the
attendance was small, the order good
and very little en thusiasmn manifested.
At Walterboro the meeting wvas not
large but exceedingly disorderly. The
howling down process was tried on
Col. Youmans, but without avail.
Both sides are satisfied withb the re
sults and the impressions made. The
Herald and News hopes that feeling of
satisfaction will continue, even on and
until after the August primary. There
is no reason why it should be oether'
wvise.
Gov. Gary said in his speech at
Hampton the other day that this wa
a campaign of men and not of mecas
ures. WVe thought the motto of the
"reformers" was measures, not men.
But it may be interesting to many to
hear from one as high up in t he coun
cils of the "reformers" as Gjoy. Gary,
that it is men and not meastures or
principles that we arc having all this
furore and excitement about. It is re
ally' refreshing. We have heard seve
ral strong "reformers" say lhat they
pereferr'ed Sheppard to Tillmnani, but it
was the "measures" ther' wanted. It
is grand and praiseworthy' to~ maIke
battle for p)rin1ciles, but--"vou know
the rest."
(Cl. Younmaus poured sonie hot shut
into Gjov. TIilhinan at H lam it! n,i but it
was all in good humor as we judge
from the reports. Gov. TIilhnan striki.
hard himself and mnust expect .some
blows in return. Hie must at times at
least expect to tbe judged bey his on n
yard stieX'.
The "adldress" execses the hohling of
a caucus on the groundl that the otht. r
fellows are having their little caucuses.
There is no use of this. Every one can
meet with every one else in this free
country just so often as he pleases. But
then every one can vote just s hie
THlE A%ol,.K AT 31NNEAl'OLIS~.
H rrisn andI eidi--nt 'Tom Reed,
but Whitelaw Iteid-is the outcome of
the Minneapolis convention. A good
ticket for the Democrats to beat.
This ticket ihould unite the South in
its defeat. Harrison is pledged to the;
Force bill. The tepublicans are not a
happy family, although Mfr. Blaine
s-ys all true Republicans will forget
their difirences and unite to elect the
ticket.
Mr. Reid will hardly add strength to
the ticket. le i- editor of the New
York Tribune, the paper once e:1ited hy
Horace Greely, wIo was :lso a canli
date for the Pre.sidency.
It will be 1n all probability, Cleve
land against Harrison. The sigus of
the times at present look as if Cleveland
could easily defeat Harrison this year.
There are miany prominent Itepubli
cans who are not satisfied with the
work at minueapolis.
The platformi says nothing about free
coinage of silver, but intimates very
strongly the passage of a Force bill,
and denmaus the use of both gold and
silv,r as standard money and that all
money i sued by the governilent have
the same debt paying power.
The Harrison forces were well organ
ized, and theni he had the advautage of
an army of ollice holders who of course
gave their influence to Harri.ou. The
small vote received by Blaine and the
large vote givei McKinley was perhaps
due to the fact that the Blaine men
saw their weakness and thought to
wake a stampede to McKinley, perferr
ing him to 1laine, but the Harrison
men (lid not stampede. They knew
their strength and held their
ground, and Harrison was nominated
oi the first ballot. Reid w.s nomi
nated by acclamation and the w hole
was made unaunimous.
'The Democrats will hold i heir coil
vention next week at Chicago.
The vote for President was as fol
lows: Harrison, 5:51; 11laiue, IS21: 'Mc
Kiuley, 1s2; Lincoln, 4; Reed, T. B., 1.
The South Carolina delegatiou voted 1:1
for Harrison, :3 f r laine and 2 for M
Kinlev.
The Republicans in Congress are said
not to be enthusiastic over the result
while the Democrats are we'l pleased.
The death of Mr. L. L. Polk is not
only a severe blow to the Third party
people, but is also a loss to tl:e Alliance
of which he was the Natioual )resi
dent. There is little doubt that if Mr.
Polk had lived he would have been
the candidate of the Third party at
Omaha. Jui- 4, for the presidency,
with Mr. Weaver for vice-president.
Mr. Weaver will very likely receive
the first place on the ticket now with
Tom Watson probably for the second
Ulace.
We had the pleasure of hearing Mr.
Polk speak last Suinmer at Spartau
burg, and of meeting hini, and we
were very favorably impressed. HIe
was a gJood speaker.
If as claimed by opposit:oni papers
the recent State Conventioni tran
scnded its powers in adopting a plat
form; if as claimed by them the con
vetion had no power to (do ought else
than elect delegates, then it had no
pover to bind anybody to the support
Iof Clevelan d in case he is nominated
see?-Cotton Plant.
No, the cnvention should be bound
without any resolutions on the subject
at all-"seer A con venti'en of Demo
crats to send delegates to the national
convention should be bound by the ac
tion of that convention or. they should
not particip)ate.
Does the Cotton Plant propose to p)ut
itself in position not to be bound by that
resolution, or the action of the national
coinvenit ionI.
"A sheep may be stopped. fromijump
ing and become a good and useful sheep,
but there is no redemption for a jump
ug goat." That is what the address
issued by the catucus of last Saturday
has to say. TIhis we presume is in
tended for wit or argument, or both;
which is it? This entire ad dress should
be preserved in the archives of State as
a literary gem and a pearl of statesman
ship for I he delectation of future ages.
Several citizens of Sullivan's To.4u
ship, in Laurens County. have written
to Gov. Tillmnan informing him that
Dave Shaw, the negro wh-lo was sup
poed to have been lynched. Is not
dead.
They say he was given ai severe beat
ing and that lhe is niow in the WVest.
The eeunty carrpaign will not open
yet for some time. So much the better.
It is ent rel too sooni to distract o"r
farmers from their work with ollice
hunting andl political sp)eaking.

In the recent chapter of deplorable
phy.l a dsturbances that have ailict
ed huianity, none have been inore
frightful in suldenness and relentles
fury than that on Sunday morning, the
5th instant, when two cloud-bursts pre
cipitated a volhmne of water between
Oil Citv antd Titusville which quickly
chan.ed ihe peaceful valley into a vale
of death. The Iloed of water caused the
breaking of a dain and the escape of
pent-up waters, which in the mad rush
overturned il and beizine tanks.
The i_scap>ing oil soon covered the
surface of the swelling stream, and
either from the lightning or from brn
ing coal fron a.i engine passing the
bridge, the oil was ignited and the wa
ter soon b(came a seething, surging
flood of flame, carrying death and de
struction for eighteen miles: for two
niles of which railroads, factories, re
fineries and residences were all de
stroved. Terrific explosions of oil Nvells
were heard, the lurid flames and smoke
filling the air. The telegraphic report
fur'ber stated that .niany were pros
t,.Led by the shock never to rist-, while
those who could escaped to the highest
points. The dreadful alternative of
burning to death in their houses or
drowning in a sea of fire was before the
doomed inhabitants, and many rushed
into the water. Some barely escaped
with clothing and hair burned off and
with sight ess eves.
OVer a hundred lives are known to
be lost and many others are missing,
of which a number are children. The
loss to this Pennsylvania valloy in
property it is estimated will reach up
wards of $2,0001)o.

In convention assembled on the 11th
day of June. 18!2. we, the authorized rep
resentatives and friends of the Reformed
Democratic Clubs of this county, do ad
opt the following as a true explanation of
our views, aims and designs touching the
political questions now at issue before the
great Democratic party of the country:
1st. We are true Democrats of the Jef
fersonian ty+e, believing that the offices
belong to the peopleC, and that the goverr
meat should ibe of the people, by the peo
I le, and for tne people, condemning any
and all efforts made by any and every
person to deceive and mislead the people
in anv way to support for office persons
not i full sympathy with their demands.
We hereby adopt the platform of princi
pes that wras adopted by the Democratic
State Convention, and stand squarely
thereon. believing, as we do, that all con
taine-1 therein is strictly in accord with
the teachings of the distinguished founder
of the Democratic party.
2nd. We believe that any number of
Democrats. or persons belonging to any
other political p,arty. have the right, and
that it is proper for them to do so, to meet
either with open or closed doors and dis
cuss meastures which look to the accom
plishmentt of their aims and desires and
the cartving of the same into practical
operation. so long as they deport them
selves in a respectful and becoming man
nr and are obedient to the laws of the
land, having due respect for the rights of
others. And when thus meeting and act
ing. "'iny 'ecntyq.one .years of age and
frirJar,"i, it is simp)ly nobody else's bus
itesS.
0(d. We ma.... in e-mucus to-day as free cit
izens, at our own county seat (being twen
tvone v'ears old and free-born), not as of
ie seekers and demagogues to dictate to
the people how they should vote; not as
poor, ignorant farmers who have to get
other p)eople to tell us what we should do;
not with a view or even with a desire .to
deprive any voter of the right to cast his
allot for 'whom he pleases; not as the
bosses of the pec1ne (for our people call
no man or set of men master), for we our
selves are part and parcel of the people
and the authorized representatives of
those people who sent us here to do their
work: but we meet to-day, as we have
heretofore met. with an honest and sincere
desire to benetit ourselves and all the peo
pe and to devise plans by which the peo
pe, and not the would-be bosses, will be
enabled to carry this county in the com
ing election overwhelmingly in favor of
the reforms that the people are so earn
estly demanding and which are so greatly
needed. recognizing, as we do, that the
laws of any country or nation have much
to do with the morality, virtue, education,
prosperity and happiness of the people
who are to be governed by the same.
Hence we have asked that all Democratic
Clubs of t his county favoring thle farmers'
movement meet and take a vote for those
whom they believe should rep:.esent
them in the next Legislature. And
ence we agree with the majority of the
members of the Coun+y Executive Com
mittee in recommending that the two fac
tions withiin the Democratic party meet
and each nominate or suggest a set of
dek gates to the September State Conven
tion, oue favorinig Sheppard and the other
Tillman for Governor. In our judgment
and humble opinion, it does make a great
deal of ditierence who fills the positions of
IStte otlicers and those of the General As
Iseblv. The faction electing these is the
faction (the p)e>ple) who are recognized
throughout the State and entire country
as those who are in authority. And all
this has a strontg bearing on every ap
pointment to be made and every election
to bce held.
We fully -applreciate this. and as farm
er, mechanics and laborers, the real pro
ders of wealth and the bone and1 sinew
of he countrv. we can see no rejief from
the evils tfhat' oppress us and the dangers
that threaten us without we have at court
iany true friends and sympathizers.
H ence it is that we desire, and greatly de
sire. the election of the Legislature, Gov
ernor. and other State officers, and a ma
jority v f the United States Congress and
other officials, both State and Federal,
who are our true frie'nds and earnest and
sincere sympathizers. Who but a selfish,
narrow. contracted demagogue can blame
us for this? Are those Democrats of our
county and State who oppose us in poli
tie's. aitd call our leaders demagogues and
olTce seekers. are they not aiming at the
sam thting? And would we not be fools
indeed to assist them in cutting our own
trots? Arc they not holding their own
Ihttle privalte meetings, too, bringing out
their own c'andidates and devising plans
to defeat us? Do they not want to elect
Sheppard. a man suggested for office by a
caucus. as Governor of the State, and de
feat the only Governor the masses have
had for years? Do they not hate Governor
Tillman and every leader in the movement
because these men are working to keep
the i eople true to their own cause? Is it
not o'ne of their pclans to make the leaders
of this great and righteous movement
odious in the sight of the people, that they
eveInt they fail in defeatimg Tillman for
Governor, do they not desire, and is it not
their intention. to capture the Legislature,
that they may cripple the farmers' admin
istration and make it impossible for Till
man to make good a single promise he has
made to the people, and in this way re
gain their former prestige. power and
sway over the people, and elect and have
appointed to office such men as favor their
views? Yes, this is their aim. their hearts'
desire. and they will leave no stone un
turned to accomplisi it. They are true to
themselves, and they are going to see to
it that we shall not, if they can prevent
it. steal a single sheep from them. Is
there a jumping goat among us ready to
leap the fence and get into their pasture,
goaded on and enticed by the threats and
cunning devices of these wily, innocent
sheep? Remember that if those who op
pose you in this great struggle succeed in
electing Sheppard as Governor, and a leg
islative delegation from this county, it will
be done by the votes of the jumping goats;
and what is worse than a jumping goat?
A sheep may be stopped from jumping.
and become a good and useful sheep, but
there is no redemption for a jumping
goat, suspicioned and despised by all. He
is only fit to be slaughtered. Remember,
too, tiat there are great and living prinei
ples underlying this grand work in which
you have enlisted, principles looking to
the upbuilding in all that is good and no
ble of yourselves and fellow men. The
man who can see no farther than to sup
p,ose that this uprising of the people, this
determination on their part to better their
condition, is nothing more than the cry of
the demagogue and office seeker, is neither
a patriot nor a prophet, and should be
sent to school. Listen not to the whining
cries of snch, but use your own braiDs,
and nerve your strong arm to strike for
home and country, for wife and children.
Remember. too, that if there is to be peace
and harmony within the Democratic
ranks, according to the views of the oppo
sition as interpreted by their actions, it
must come by the sacrifice of your own
cause and the giving up of your own dear
rights. As you constitute a large majori
ty of the great Democratic hosts, and as it
is from a small minority that this cry for
peace comes, say to them (the minority)
that the only way to secure peace and
harmony is for them to come over to us
and help us fight this great battle for the
people. Why is it that they don't come,
anyway? Why should those who should
be our friends in this cause still continue
to antagonize their very best friends and
place every obstruction in the way of our
success? Are we not good citizens, and
have we not helped them build up their
fortunes, their towns and business? Have
we not manfully stood to our Democratic
gu.s? In 1.S76, in every emergency, in
every time of danger that has arisen, have
we not been true to the people, to our
country and homes? What would have
been accomplished in the past without us?
What promise of hope in the future has
this county and State without us? 1iow
manly, how noble, and how profitable to
our opposers and to our county would it
be for them to come to us and help us
gain a victory that would loosen the
shackles that now bind and hold down
the strong arms of the wealth-producers
of this country! There are a thousand
reasons why we cannot go to them. Such
a course means death. But they can, they
should, and they will, sooner or later,
come to us.
In order that we may secure that which
we claiLt as our right, and give assist
ance to our fellow-workers throughout
the State, we earnestly call upoa every
friend of the movement of this county who
has not already cast his ballot for nomi
nees of tue General Assembly to either
meet with his club when called together
to elect delegates to the County Conven
tion ordered to meet on the first M!onday
in July next, and so do, or to send his bal
lot to the Secretary of his club on or be
fore the day of the convention, so that the
same may be counted. As is well under
stood, the opinions of others to the con
trary, notwithstanding, this preliminary
primary is not intended to, and does not
in any way, dictate to any how he should
vote,~nor does it deprive any voter of his
rigts and liberties, but it simply means,
and is intended to get at. the choice of the
p)eople, and to keep down strife and divis
ion within our own ranks, which, "by the
way," is the only hope of the opposition.
it is a fair and honest effort, and if it were
necessary to produce any arguments or
reason in its favor, the simple recital of
the facts of the strong opposition with
which it has met from the antis is suffi
cient to show not only its fairness, but its
power, in accomplishing the ends for
which it is designed. We also ask that
under the action of the County Executive
Committee, at the meeting of our clubs to
elect delegates to the July convention,
each club elect double the number of del
egates to which it is entitled in the Coun
t Convention, and that the same be im
structed to meet at Newberry C. H. on the
first Monday in July next, to nominate
eight delegates to attend the September
State Convention who favor the nomina
tion of Hon. LB. R. Tillman for Governor,
and that the same delegation bring to the
said meeting the returns from their re
spective clubs, polled in the prehnminary
primary, for nominees for the General As
sembly. Remember that little can be ac
complished without thorough organization
and that without this even larger majori
ties can easily be overcome. Work for your
own cause and give no assistance to the
opposition, but quit yourselves like men.
Stand up and contend manfully for your
rights, and, after having done all, stand!

The' Death of the Prealdient of the Far

years ago. H is education was received
