ELBEt, I. AULL, r iEWB E RRY. S. C. ELBERT TU. AU.LL. ! r3 WM. P. UOUSEAL, A 1 DISTINNCTl'O1 ITkIOI11 l.)IFFEV I\CE. The Her:6d atdI New - dtes not be lieve that Mr. Slii,h and Dr. Pope have had any idea of joining the Third party. We believe that they exycet and i:l tend to remain in the Dem:ocratie party. Dr. Pope opposed the idea of a Third party in the Ali=anet caucus in the State Convention. We also beiieve that Mr. J. Marcellus Lester is hone t and sincere in what he says in bis affidavit. As we under stand Mr. Lester these gentlemen did not use the word Third party in the caucus in question, but said that they stood on the Ocala platform and by the Alliance demands and these Mr. Les ter construes to be synolomots with Third party. That they stand on the Ocala platform and by tile Alliance de mands we presume neither Mr. Sligh nor Dr. Pope will deny. According to to Mr. Lester's way of looking at it that is the same thing as standing by the Third party. They make a dis tinction between the Ocala platform and the Alliance demands, and the Third party. Let us see now what the difterence is: The Oca:a Platform Tie Third l'arty and Alliance De- Platform. miand'' 1. Tie aiolltion to, I. lhe abotiinl o 7:t ion:il ba:ks.

The Cotton Plant wants to know "how these gentlemen can justi fv their action t:> their constituents or .cqua'e it with lolest money.' The article also says that "tlhe people of the Third and Fifth districts, respective:y, sh:ouid deIiand an explanation, and we hiave no dI;)Ot they will. We are mis takexn in the people of those districts if they do not have an expianation. 'We tru't that Meers. Strait and Norris w.ill se t:> it that consistent expiala tions ar'e given." Now, The Herald and News does not propose to take up the defense of these two Congressmlen for their vote Cn this o :ccasion. They are amply ale to takt care (If themiselves. The National Democratic platform Section 5, reads as follows: "We recom Iimend that the prohibitory ten per cent tax on State banks of issue be repeal ed." ow, in the face of this plank o the Denocratie platform, The Herald and News wants to ask the Cottor Plant "\Vhat does it mean?" sure enough. The editor of the Cottor Plant was present in the conventior that adopted this platform, and we sa no report of his raising voice or vot4 against the platform. It strikes uE that the vot. of these two Congressmen on this point was in acco,:d with the Democratic platform that has just beer adopted by the National Democratic 'onvention. Tlle editor of the Cotton Piant isa can didate for Congress from the First Dis trict as a 1enocrat. Would it not bE more appropriate for the voters of thi First District to inquire of Dr. Stoke what he means by opposing the plat orm of the party of which he asks: nomination, as a member, for a sea as a representative in Congress: C'an a man belong to a party and osi a nomination of it for oflice, when hE opposes the platform of the party Things are migLtily mixed, we grani you, but it seems to -ts that the propri eties of the situat would forbid ; man seeking oflice in a party %vhos platform he was not only opposed to but was openly fighting. We simpl. ask: "What does it mean"' The Alliance conference at Andersoi last week seems not to have worked t( suit the politicians and prospective can didates. No endorsement was made George Johnstone seems to suit the Al liancetnen of the upper counties suflic ien tly well. Dr. Pope, of Newberry, an Colonel Norris, of Anderson, were bot] seeking the Alliance endorsement, bu it didn't endorse. Dr. Pope had an nounced himself a candidate somn weeks ago, btut now we understand tha he has decided to withdraw. Col. Nor ris, we presume, wvill run. Therei also taik of Mr. Latimer being a candi date. Johnstone's chanees for re-elec tion seem to be eminently good at thi this time. No doubt a week's reflection ha made somec of the delegates to ou county convention wish they had hear tie petition and the case argued befor they decided they woul<t not grant th petition of those fifty-th :ee white Dem ocrats for a new club. What has Governor Richardson's ex peditures to do with Glov. Tillmnan's Grant for the sake of argument tha Gov. Richardson misappropriate< funds, which we do not believe for; moment, that does nct excuse Gov Tilmian. This extra.'agance is tb very thing that Gov. Tillmnan wa gonlg to cure. And if thlere is any~ thing wrong in Gov. Richardson's ac counts, Gov. Tillman has .been inex cusably derelict in his duty not to havy brought it out and had it inlvestigate long ago. _______ We learn that the Saeep are claim ing Newberry County for the c. p. an h, iconsummiXate political hypocrits not conservative peace and harmon; as they deceptively assume) party. 1I is a weakness of the Saeep to chaim everyting in sight, and we hardl; think thleir claims will be seriousi; considered. Of course Newberry wvil renain for Tillman.-Press anid Rt porter. That depends. We~ do not knot bow the vote will be. We only cop; this to show that the Tillman pres never indulges ini abuse or the use c ugly and harsh lnmes. To call you opponent a "tconsuijmate politi oa y pocrite" is a loving and affectionat and brotherly way to express your feel ing~. Of course there is nothing wvroni in stuch language. Oh, no, it is the sal utation of a lovintg and Christian an' templerate brother Democrati It is really amiusing to see Governo Tilhan hunting up the actions of hi predecessor as an excuse for his ow' shortoning. Hie newv brings up Gos ichardson's expen*e account an' points to it as an excuise for some of hi own expen(ditures.

It I wa no credit to the brave :ndl true hi men of o?d Edgeti id. The edit'r of ca The Herald and N\' - lived In Edge- ve field for some years during his you: cer Cl days and has always taken a lively Ih interest in the men an<. affairs of this of grand old county, and has watehed ws ith( pride the rise of her sons, but we mlunt cotiss to a little chagrin and I satme for the conduct of Edgetield's sois at the campaign meeting last Thursdao. Ioth the leading (randi dates being E(;eti:ld Inea it should have Ieen the especial pride of E:d.ge field to have hasi a il-del campain of meeting. In:stead what do We see. A ;t regubr howling nob. each side trying to s-e which could inake the most noise. f It was evidently started by the Till- ra manites, for Governor Gary. who was i ze the first speaker, was given a mod- te erately attentive hearing, but when is Col. Youmans got upt) to speak the H "howlin"g began and Col. Younans a was not permitted to speak. Then the is antis retaliated and Gov. Tillman was s. not permit ted to speak. We presume 31 the same thing would have been tried to on (ov. Sheppard had lie undertaken d. to speak, but fortunately the meeting was adjourned. There was no excuse for either side to practice any such tactiCs. I f we I can't have m're decent meetings than N this we had better call the campaign s\ off. No good is being done. It is sad that intelligent white men should en- ai gage in any such proceedings- of ti G;ov. Tillman has turnei his batteries on Chairman Dibble of the Conserva- L tive Executiv Committee. He first tt charges that he needs to be watchl.:1, 11 and says he will use tissue ballots. Then his next dodge is to charge that h the ''howling down" indulged in at a Orangeburg was instigated by Mr. ' tDibble. Mr. Dibble must be a very powerful man. The very strange part d about it is that at both Orangeburg ti and Edgefield the man on whom the ft "howling' first began was Col. You mans, and the "howler&' were Till manites. Then at Edgefield the Shep pardites retaliated and "howled" the Governor down on his own dunghill. It is a very remarkable thing that Mr. Dibble has such a wonderful influence over the Ti!lmanites that he can have i then do his bidding in this way. No, t< the truth of the matter is, the' Go"er 0 nor sees and realizes that this "howl ing down" is not doing his cause any - good, and he wants to shift, the re sponsibility. This excuse is the thin - nest thing we have ever seen or heard st - emanate from his Executive Eminence. A I It dcs not do credit to Governor Till- C man's brain or sagacity. It is absurd. t V t - . -- - Tre News and Courier says that if fi SSenator Irby had been in his seat last Iweek lie could have prevented the con- d -firmiation by the Senate of the appoint- E Sment of the negro postmaster for b -Charleston. Senator Irby will havea -his hands full in South Carolina fora the next four months, looking after the tl campaign incidentally and the renomn- P) ination of Governor 'I:llmnan in partic Sular. The News and Courier ey.p- ats n too much of otne man. We think it is Iabout as much as one mani can do to a Skeep tip with the poies of this State, o and we are certain it is impossible for a -Senator Irby to run the South Carolina d campaign andl attend to Senatorial (du- a ties. As a miatter of fact, Senator Irby ~ should resign otne or the other. He a can't do the irnpossible.1 Col. Peter Ruker. if Columrbia, the 'I organizer and leader foir Tiillman in Columbia two years ago and unti! re cently, has conie out in a card for khep- e -pardl. Among other things Col. Rucker s says: .t -"I have seeti Mr. Tfillmtani and Mir. Earle, but am like~ the fellow two years azo, I have almost strained my eyes out to see Mr. !Reform for the last two^ years, but hava never seen 'itm yet." And "Mfr iteform" cotitinues to grow r beautifully less. General Farley seemis to have giveni up his rabbit feect and stories and is also e indulging in the use of hard language. s: At one oif the meetings last week lie t' said any man wvho voted for Tillmati " twvo years ago, andi would not suippoirt f~ him this year, was "a traitor arid a e coward.'" Now we thought better of e Gen. F"arley than this. We feel sure I he is sorry lie said it. Surely a man v can change his mind1( wh1en he sees thle fi error of his way. We have always b heard it said that it was manly to ac-' knowledge your mi5take whlenu you a found you wetre wrong. The trouble tl with (Gen. F"arley is that lhe realizes the tl fact that there are too inany who are 3 -seeing the error of t heir pr sition arid it who are coming out like meni and a'c- " knowledging it. An1d they are neither ia "traitors tior cowards,"' but mianly metn, the eq1ual of Geni.
