ELBERT 1. AtLL, EDITOR. NEWBERRY. S. C. ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, WEDNESD.Y, JUIL 29. 1S92. AN EDITORIAL BOLT. We publish from the Cotton Plant an editorial bolt from the Democratic nomination at Chicago last week. What the Cotton Plant means or in tends to gain by such utterances we fail to see. The editor, Dr. J. Wm. Stokes, is the Senator from Orangeburg County and is annonced as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress from his District. It is said, however, that Dr. Stokes is not the author of that editorial but that it is the labor of the associate editor Mr. J. W. Blwden, and this is probably true as Mr. Bowden in an interview says that South Carolina will have a Third Party ticket out for electors. The author of that editorial will find to his sorrow that he has mistaken the feelings of the Alliance men of South Carolina for they are true and tried Demcrats and will not go wandering off after strange political parties for which there is not a shadow of a chance for success. The time has come, however, for men to let the people know where they stand. If the effort for a Third Party is to be made let it be made now, so that we may know who are with us and who are against us. We would like to ask the Cotton Plant what relief it can promise the "toiling massses" if they vote against Cleveland. What "promise of better times in the future," can you assure them by doing so? No, the Cotton Plant is reckoning against its host. The Third Party in South Carolina will amount to nothing. There is no room for it and there is no need for it. The nomination of Mr. Cleveland is acceptable to the large majority of the people of South Caro lina and they will vote for him. Dr. Stokes owes it to himself to say whether or not he endorses the edi torial expression of the Cotton Plant as contained in the article in question. As to feeding at the public crib we would think that those who partic ipated in the condemnatory resolu tions against Cleveland before he was nominated would not receive any big amount but if the Cotton Plant will look over the appointments from South Carolina under Cloveland's adminis tration it will see that South Carolina shared very well. But this is no argument to be used against Cleveland for "the toiling masses" do not expect to feed there anyway. Upon the whole this is a very ugly ed itorial and we very much regret to see it in a South Carolina newspaper. We see since the above was written that Dr. Stokes disavows the views at tributed to him by the publication ofi the said editorial. His denial is repro duced in another column. We take pleasure in calling attention to it and placing Dr. Stokes right in this serious and important matter. It is Cleveland and Stevenson. That is the winning ticket. The Herald and News is a Cleveland issue this week. It's not a back num ber; neither is Cleveland. Cleveland-the greatest living A meri can statesman.r The South Carolina delegation voted solidly for Stevensen for Vice-President. The election of Stevenson as a candi date for Vice-President by the Demo crats is not relished by Republicans. a He turned out 48,000 fourth class post- t masters when he was First Assistant I Postmaster General under Cleveland. Cleveland will go to New York on e July 12th, to receive the committee appointed to notify him of his nomi nation. The South Carolina member ~ of the committee is Theo. D. Jervey, of Charleston.t The story of the nomination of the Democratic ticket at Chicago is told in n The Herald and News this week. Wea also issue a supplement full of other ( interesting reading. The Herald and c News is a newspaper, and our readers P may always count on full value in re turn for their money and thtir inter- si est. If you want all the news and the b2 latest news you can't get along with- a 0 out The Herald and News. S The Herald and News told you it s1 would be Cleveland, and all this doubt t expressed about South Caroina not being in the Democratic column in 1 November is the merest bosh. As a la matter of fact we believe if a true ex pression of the people had been taken gV before our May convention Cleveland n delegates would have been sent to ii Chicego.a The nomination of Cleveland was o made at Chicago on Thursday at 3.45 h a. mn., and the The S.tate, Columbia ~ Register and the Greenville News gave .2 the vote by states in their regular edi- d tions that same day.P This is a feat that the great New P York dailies did not accomplishb'l Never before in the history of this I country has the same man been nem- g inated for the presidency for three d successive terms. And never before p has there been such an uprising of the people for the nomination of a man as i was the case for Cleveland. This wave hi swept the politicians before it and de- it manded the man of the people-Grover t Cleveland. d The Atlanta Journal is a power fork good in Georgia. It put that State by , a majority in the Cleveland column. w~ It had three live wires from Chicago a during the convention, with a live cor respondent at the end of each, and its n y report of the great nomination was et simply superb. The Journal is a news paper any way you take it. Though if you want to read it, it is best to sub-d A healthy moral sentitnerit is a good thing in any commuuity. The "social and literary club" does not flourish there. Attorney General McLaurin says he had a pistol in his pocket at the Green ville meeting. -Now let the Register read him a lecture, as the highest offi cer of the law, on enforcing the statute law against carrying cmcealed weap ens. We wonder if the Abbeville Me diurn will see this admission of the A ttorney General. "Grandspa's hat" cannot withstand the demand for "Baby Ru th." Next Monday the Tillianites will hold a convention to nominate dele gates to the State Convention. The vote in the second preliminary primary will also be tabulated. This, as we understood it, is not to be a caucus but a convention with open doors. That was the idea, if we rmista.ke not, of the executive committee in suggesting these faction conventions. From what we can learn the club votes have been as small and scattering *s before. IiEi:E'S OUR THIR) PARTY. The Alliance Organ Trying to Lead a Stain pede- Bitter Denunciation of the Demo cratic Nominee for President-Farm ers Urged to Support Some Other Ticket. [Cotton Plant, June 25th.] "PARTY TYRANNY." Governor Tillman told the Cleveland managers in Chicago that if Cleveland was nominated he did not believe that he could carry South Carolina on ac count of bis financial views. The gov ernor never spoke a truer word. The very acme of tyranical party rule is obtained when the wishes of the Demo cratic voters of States whose electoral vote has always been cast for Dcmoc racy, are ignored and a candidate forced on them who opposes every principle held by them, and that action is add ing insult to injury when we know that his nomination if forced by the spoils men and office seekers from States who have never given and never will give an electoral vote for the Democratic nominee. There is yet a spirit of liber ty left in the heart of the ien of Carc lina that will revolt against such un scrupulous bossism. No, the Allian ;emen of the South can not support Cleveland, because he is the embodiment of the plutocratic ideas that refuse to recognize our needs even, and are still farther from giving us any remedy. The nomination of Cleveland will mean, if he is elected, that monop oly will be fostered, plutocracy protected and a very few white men in the South will get to feed at the public crib. No relief for the toiling masses; no promise of better times in the future; you farmers and working men of all classes must submit; you merchants must say nothing, toil and sweat and sink into the degradation of serfdom, but you must vote the party ticket for fear of the force bill and the evils of negro lomination. And when you vote for Cleveland you vote f)ra man who never raised his finger against the force bill, tnd who openly encouraged miscegena ion A nd you will settle in your minds be ore you vote which is the greater evil; ~he shadowy possibility of negro domi 2ation or thbe continued rule of English Lnd Wall street money that is certain tad unavoidable. Cleveland means :at the national Democracy slaps you n the face and intends to whip you into ine. The result will show how much he spirit of freedom obtains among our people ard how far they wvill submit o the bossism of unscrupulous politi nans. ~DITOR STOKES I)ISCLAIMS WRITING THlE EDITORIAL.1 [Special to News and Courier.] I ORANCEBURG, June 2.-In obedi- I mce to your instructions Dr. J. Win. Stokes was approached by your corres- 1 ondent to-day and requested to give is views on the work of the Chicago ionvention.C Dr. Stckes said: "I think that while e did not get all we wanted, the plat-t orm as adopted by the Convention nade at least three important conces- 2 ions to us, viz, the plank opposing the .ien ownership of land, the one de- C nanding the coinage of both gold and 2 lver without charge, which is equiva- I ent to free coinage of silver as well as f gold, and the plank demanding a ariff for revenue ouly. The tariff plank C vas adonted almost in the Exact langu- 3 ge of tne Alliance demand. Besides bese the strong opposition to corporate onopolies was noticeable.'' When asked what he thought of the C robability of Cleveland's (lection, Dr. t tokes said that he thbought Cleveland's lection very doubtful. However, if ~ ~leveland could carry Nevw York, and 1 ere arose no defection of any conse- a uence in the ranoks of the Democratic c arty in the South, he migh t be elected. r When asked what he had to say con- c erning his alleged views in reference t Sa Third Party movement in this L tate Dr. Stokes said: a "On reaching home on Saturday last c 2y attention was directed to your fo nimadversion upon tmyself-and may)- r it of the South Carolina delegation to t 'hicago. The ground of your special p riticism of myself seems to be an ex ression of fear on my p)art that in cer- ht contingencies a powverful impulse c 'ould be given to the Third Party ; timent in South Carolina and possi- 'l ly jeopardize our electoral vote. You 'I re pleased to construe this expression o f opinion into a threat that I will b articipate in such a movement. You n :udiously strive to impress that con- o :ruction u pon your reader, ini face of si se direct denial of any such purpose t< the same interview that contained c ue expression of fear that a Third k arty electoral ticket would be prompt- P Spuit forward. The direct (question r as asked by the reporter: 'Will yout o into a Third Parly." and the answer n -a given unhesitatingly. 'No. I have so lade my fight for Alliance principles b iside the Democratic party andI shall v bde the result.' "I went to Chicsgo as a delegate from c ni Anti-Cleveland constituency. I a pposed him in all earnestness and oor, but when it was ascel taine~d that ) e had the niecessary two-thirds, and a si iotion was made to nominate him by aclamationi, I voted as did the entire n elegation I think, in accord with the ti reviously ascertained will ot the ma- st rity. As the nominee of the party I v ilI support Mr. (Cleveland. I feel in a onor bound so to do, after participat- 9. g in the proeed(ings leading up to his is ominat ion. W\hat more will you have?

Those who Il nowthe uindercurrents of sentiment in i uth Carolina, know that there are agers along the line of Indepen- " entism in politics outside ot tbe Has- n all movement of 1S90. There are some ei ho know that I have done active as ork in a p)rivate way to arrest any c )d all such action: because, while a si hird Party movement might imperil ec thing b~ut our electoral ticket this se ~ar, in coming yeals it might menace tI ir entire civilization.h "As to the editorial in last week's wv ottoni Plant, it should be sufficient to tr ate that it was written and printed g: aring my absence, and does not ex- h ANOTHEP.

We would have refuted the charge that we have acted "unjust, untatly, and un':-mocratic in the extreme" before thi.- time if there had been a meeting of our club. At this the fir.t meeting of our club ,which constitutes a major ity of the Democrats of this comnuni ty) since the denouneing of us we give the facts in the Case so that the public may judge whether we or the factioti making the charge have acted "unjust, unmanly, and undeiocratic in the ex treme." The charge is a grave one to be made against those who clalimt to be just and ttanly and democrat i'". Tie divisiotn in the club trgir:ated .t a meeting held July -:, 1890. It was explained that the meeting had been called at the request of the Tillnan Dermocrattc party of Newberry County for the purpose of ascertaining the choice of the club for candidates for the State Senate and the House of Representatives; that the members of the club in favor of such a plan are to vote for the men of their choic-, the ballots to be taken to Newberry r- I., and tabulated with the votes for the other Farmers' Movement clubs, in the county. The anti-Tillmanite members and one or two others who claimed to be Tillmanites were opposed to theclub taking any part in making such sug gestion, and wished to adjourn. They claimed that a Democratie club has no right to take such action; that a person taking part in such proceedings yields up his manhood and ceases to be a free citizen; that he is deprived of his right of suffrage. Those in favor of the plan held that there is nothing wrong in a Democratic club taking such ac tion if the majority see fit; that there is nothing undemocratic in a local Deno cratic c!ub making suggestions of can didates: that any political organization has the right, and that it is proper so to do, tc, take action which looks to the accomplishment of its aims and the carrying of the sane into practical operation so long as it does so in a be coming manner; that the "preliminary primary," as it is termed, is no wore undemocratic than a primary election, as in the latter every voter does not get his preference in the selection of ofti cers; that those most lot:d in opposition to the plan hold caucuses, constituted of a "favored few," and still the effort is made to mislead the Tillmani tes in re ard to a plan in which every Tilinan ite has a voice if he choses; that how in the name of comrnmon sense do the Till ntanites cease to be free citizens by taking this action when they do so of their own free-will; that the farmers have been defeatel in politics so often that they have 1,arned if they wish o accomplish anything that they must meet the thorough organization of their opponents with thorough organi .ation; that the bitter denunciation of he plan by the opponetnts of the Far nuers' Movement is Proof that there is ;ood results in it for the reform cause; .s there a reformer so st upid as to be nisled by his oppotnents? An anti-Tillmanite moved to adjourn. rihe motion was tabled. T1hose who 'avored adjourn ment withdrew from he meeting, and a few were so angered hat they ordered their names erased rom the club roll.Those that remained the majority) proceeded with the busi less before the club. A meeting of citizens of the commu uity was held April it, 1892, to reorga ize the St. Luxe's Denmocratic Club muder the provisions of the new State onstitution. When sigtnitng of the roll ad ceased and it was noticed that ome in the meeting had not enrolled he chairmnan stated that only those who ign the club roll are muembers, and in 'ited all present to enroll. The leader f the seceders of two years ago then aid that lie and otbuers wished to know efore they would decide wvhether they vould join the club if the club will take .ny part in suggesting a legislative icket as it did two years ago; if the lub would promise to take no such ction he and the others present who ad not enrolled would do so. He de LOUneed the action taken by our club a suggestinig candidates as utndemo ratic, and that those who take part ield up their manhood andl cease to e free citizens. One or two of those who had enrolled aw no need of bringing up the matter f two years ago which had helped to ring about a division in the club; that was a strange proceeding for those .ho had just enrolled without having ad any promises mjade to them to be 1 sked to make promises not to take ertain action before others wouild en :l; that all should enroll on the same cnditionis and the" decide what ac ons the club woula take. Those who ad enrolled declined to consider such proposition-to say what actions the ub would or would not take. There >re, the seceders refused to sign the >1l, anid, consequtently, were tnot en tled to take any part in the further roceedings of the meeting. The next meeting of the club was eld May Sth for the purpose of as ertaininh the choice of the club for3 indidates for the Genteral Assembly. here was not vecry large turno)ut of 'illmatnites, owing to the busy season f the year, some having sent their allots by others. Unexpectedly to the tost of the menmbers the seceders turned at in full force. TIhe members were irprised that those so bitterlv opposed a "'prelimrinary primary"' shotuldl >me to a meceting that they must have nownr was called solely for t hat p'ur ase. Thinking if the seceders got en >lled before the meeting adjourned iey wouIld strenously oppose the busi ess for which the mnembers had as imbled, directly after thre meet ing had ~een called to orde-r. whitle the seceders -ere etnro!linig, a nmotioni was umade to :ijourn atnd mteet a wecek later, which irried. Thle seceders thretn o'rganized nlew clubh. So mu ich for thte facts ini thIe caseP. ow a few words ini regard to somie atemients tmade by tihe seceders. Thie reply of Senrator Irby, (Chai r-t ant of the State D emocratic Execu ve Com ititee, to a niemb er of the ceders sustaitns those members who >ted against ad journmetJ.uly Z, 1890, id those who would niot promise April 1S92,to take no part itt suggesting a leg-< lative ticket. Seniator Irby writes, "I1 ouid say a club has the right to suig st nomtinees."' The qjuestion arskintg hether a cluib has the right to adopt resolution that will bind its miem ers to vote' for certain tnomiinees at1 te primary has tno bearitng in this case. he trouible arose over such action be Ig taken by a Detmocratic club-the in irity e!aimiing that such action i>uId niot cotisistet1ly be ta ketn in a emocratie cluhb: the ::: ijority hiold g to the cotttrairy. It is stated that all wvouldl have been eil A pril 9th if tihe secretary had re ainted silent. Because those wiho had 1 rolled would ttot mtake promises ked try the seceders their leader was mdemnitig us in an imipassionedji eE ch, and was prevet ing us frotm pro-; edinrgwith the re-orgatnizationi. The'I cretary raised thle poitnt of order tihat Ce speake'r hatd refused to etnroll atid d tio right to be intterferitng with the ork of tire club. Tihe secrtary moved at busitness be proceeded with re trdless of initerference by those who 0 td niot enrolled and the motiotn was' iaimntseyndopted hv those wvho had enrolled. The speaker then gave way. The secretary. in what he said voiced 'he sentiments of those who hac enrolled. It was getting late inl thf afternoon, and we did not -care tc spend time in replying to what wa: being or what might be said. As to the reason for forming a nea club, because the meeting adjourned did not prevent the seceders from en rolling. If a roll bad been made and they were signing it when the meeting adjourned, why (lid they not finish en rolling and send (the secretary was not prcsent at the meeting) the li-t to the -eeretary ? No, enrolling wa= not the only iotive that pronpted them in turning out in full force. They canie when they thought they would not be expected ,as they had held a meeting or two aid it was said they had decided to join the Saluda club, capture the neetiIig, and take vengance for having been defeated in the past. One of the seceders has told that if they had got enrolled and got control of the meeting that sone resolutions would have been passed tlt would have been distaste ful to us. But the scheme to further engender bad feeling was nipped in the bud, by the meeting adjourning. The leader of the seceders was so enraged because they had been defeated in their plans of taking advantage of a majority that lie made a bitter speech, assailing Tillbn anisr: in almost every shape and form, and denouncing those who had just voted for adjournment to prevent their opponents getting control of a mreeting. "BUNCH" COMES BACK TO US. The Genial M'Bee to Succeed Col. I)o4on An Important Change in Riehuunnd and Danville Circles. [The State.] Supt. J. A. Dodson, of the Richmond and Danville road is to leave Columbia, takiug a step higher in the railroad world, and "Bunch" MeBee, the well known Carolinian, is to succeed him here. Superintendent Dodson has been transferred or promoted to the Super intendency of the Atlanta and Charlot .e Air Line division of the Richmond and Danville system, with headquarters at Atlanta, the transfer to go into effect on July 1. Col. MeBee, who succeeds him, is the former Superintendent of the West ern North Carolina division, and until recently General Superintendent of the Georgia Central road. His headquarters will be here, but his position will not be exactly the same as Ir. Dodson's. He will be the General Superintendent of the Charlotte, Columbia and Au gusta, the Columbia and Greenville, and Western North Carolina divisions of the systeni. The two former are all that Mr. Dodson has had heretofore. Col. McBee will take charge on July 1. When called upon yesterday after noon Superintendent Dodson said he had heard that the transfer had been made, but he had received no official notice of it. He said he had heard of such an arrangement before in regard to Mr. McBee, and knew that he was coming into the service of the road. Later, however, he got a letter from General Manager Green, which brought the first official news, and stated that the general order would be issued at once. Mr. Dodson says he ,as become accli mated here and would like to stay out the year, but when hiscompany called him, whether to a better or worse posi tion, he knew he belonged to them and was willing always to comply. He says he lixces the people here and that lie will leave Coltumbia with genuine re gret. He says he hopes all the present em ployes will be kept. They are as good a set of men as any railroad in the South ern country has to day. He says he leaves them "with a great deal of re gret." He said the management could have gotten nobody who would look after the road bet ter than Col. McBee. Said he: "I consider him one of the finest railroad men in the country."
