There has been nothing done by Mr.
Irby and his committee that has the
semblance of fairness. Since the Sep
tember Convention it seems to us that
thir every effort has been to widen
the breach that exists between the
white people and to keep up the bad
feeling. The address issued by him
and his sub-committee was an insult
to the conservatives who have been
trying to hold on to the organized
Democracy and showed no apprecia
tion of their efforts to keep our people
together. Then his effort to try to
force the people to vote for a constitu
tional convention whether they want
oed* ot vas an outrageous act. We
W -.-reel satisfied thaTil this has been cal
culated to make and has made votes
for Dr. Pope and it has given him
strength that he would not otherwise
have had.
A Darlington jury-bas acquitted 'Lc
Lendon, the constable, who precipi
tated the trouble at Darlington, which
resulted in the death of two citizens
and one constable, while a Spartan
burg jurfjconvicts Jack Blad)u who
killed a negro who was trying to make
his escape. From the evidence that
we have seen, McLendon was respon
sible for all the trouble at Darlington
and killed one of the citizens. We do
not see bow a verdict of acquittal was
reached, but so it is. The Solicitor has
nol prossed the case against the other
c,)nstables at Darlington.
NPxt Tuesday is the day for the
election. Everything so far seems
ver uet Last Saturday there was
a small rally at idgeway, in Fair
field County and speeches were made
by Gov. Tillman and John G'ry Evans.
They were both bitter and partizan and
prejudiced. These speeches were not
calculated to win any votes. The com
mittee on arrangements refused to per
mit Dr. Pope a seat on the platform
and also refused to let him speak at
that place and time. Of course he found
another place and an audience who
would listen to him, and he had h-is
sty. He gave some of the inside his
tory of the reform movement that is
interesting. The speeches of Gov. Till
man and Mr. Gary Evans are not cal
culated to arouse any interest on the
part of the conservatives who would
vote for Evans but who do not want a
constitutional convention.
The agony will soon be over and we
trust there will be peace and that pros
perity will come.
The Editor of The Heraldand News
was in a small village, not a thousand
miles from Newberry, on a Saturday
afternoon not long ago. It is a small
village of only a couple hundred peo
ple. In this village was located a State
Dispensary. As we walked up and
down through this village and observed
e drinking and the drunkenness, we
could not help wishing some of the
strong advocates of the dispensary
could be present and see the beneficial
effects of the dispensary as a prohibi
tion and temperance measure. Not
much temperance or soberness thore.
The Herald and News is glad to Dote
that Coi. V. E. McBee has been ap
- pointed to a good position with the Sea
(Toa&Air Line. He is a railroad man
of experience and ability. He has
brains and common sense and knows
how to apply them to the practical af
fairs of the railroad. He will make his
heat)quarters in Atlanta. The Herald
and News congratulates the Seaboard
Air Line on securing his services.
Do not forget to put in your vote
against the constitutional convention.
There will~be plenty of tickets on hand.
-Taxes are high enough already without
piling up a useless expense of $100,000
for the holding of a convention. Vote
no and be sure that you vote.
We. would invite those of our Till
- manite friends who have had so much
to say about independents,to the state
ment from Beaufort. They had a pri
mary in that county, and the conserv
atives won. Another ticket, composed
of defeated Tillmanites and negro Re
publicans, will be candidates for elec
tion in the general election next Tues
day. It makes the greatest difference
in the world whose ox is gored.
The State publisbed a rumor yester
day, on what it claimed was good au
_thority, that Gov. Tillmani would un
dertake to use force on next Tuesday to
have the election go- his way, and that
he had instructed county chairmen to
call on constables and sheritis if neces
-sary to enforce his purpose in carryimg
- the election. The Herald and News
asked Chairman Capers if he had re
received any instructions to that effect
and be did not understand what we
were talking about, so he said. He
does not read The State and therefore
had not seen the report. He saye he
knows of no such instructions.
Well, really, The Herald and News
does not believe there is any truth in
the rumor. We do not beiieve that
Governor Tililman will undertake any
such game as thbat. It would not w ork,
and he has too much sense to try any
such plan.________
Postmaster Counts at Peak, S. C., is
in trouble. He has been arrested and
is charged not only in being short in
his accounts, but also with having
forged a name to his bond. He will
likely be sent up higher.
Attoruew General Olney has deci
de.d that the State cannot seize whiskey
in bonded warehouses. The opinion
does not;meet the approval of Governor
Tillman.________
Bia Cotton Fire in Clinton.
CoUMmIA, October -79.-The report
has been received here through the
railroad eflice that there has been a
seiious cotton fire in Clinton on the
line of the Columbia, Newberry and
Laurens Road. It is stated that the
fire sta'rted in a ware house in which
.there were from 400O to 500 bales of cot
tonl, and when the last reprt was re
cived the roof bad fallen in and ibere
was no hope of saving any of the cot
-ton. On account of thbere 1-emg no
adequate water supply for steamer
none was sent there from Columbia.

LSpecial to News and Courier.]
Coc(LU.MIA, October 29.-After Gov
ernor Tillman had explained the situ
ation in Beaufort, as seen by him, be
took an intermission, and after awhile
asked to give his views on the Consti
tutioual Convention. He was careful
in what he had to say and every now
and then would stop to think it over.
Occasionally he would make a side re
wark.MThe interview is of importance
and distinctly shows that the Reform
ers are not absolutely certain of their
Convention. He said:
"While I am talking on politics and
the status in that Congressional dis
trict I had just as well give those of our
people, who care to know my views on
other questions, a few words of warn
ing on the dangers ahead of us. There
is a crisis upon us, and the immediate
future is fraught with more good or ill
than any period in our history since
1861. The dark wave of corruption,
misgovernment and well-nigh anarchy,
which engulphed our State during the
days of Radical dominion, failed to
overshelm and destroy our civiliza
tiou because of the feeling of race unity;
blood was thicker than water, and
w bite men 'were ever ready to respond
to the call of white supremacy. When
the tocsin was sounded in 1876 the
white men of the State responded as
one man, and our people moved as a
solid phalanx to recover their !o;t lib
erties and restore decency and order in
the conduct of our affairs.
"The unfortunate divisions which
have arisen among us, and I will not
now discuss the question as to where
the blame lies, have reached the point
for a second time where white men of
I acknowledged integrity and character
and decent reputatitn are willing to
use the negro in our politics in the
hope of regaining a lost ascendency.
I have no uneasiness as to the result of
the election this year. There is no
possibility of any great inroad being
made on the Democratic party as now
organized. Evans will be elected by
an overwhelming vote and the com
plexion of the legislature will little if
any change from the status fixed by
the primary of August 2S.
"But the issue which vitally con
cerns the future of the State and its
people, the calling of a Constitutional
Convention, is in doubt. A 11 the ele
ments opposed to Reform in the State,
I every newspaper controlled by the so
I called Conservatives and several which
have bitberto sided with the Reform
ers are opposing the Convention with
every argument possible. When I
consider the fact that this opposition
may defeat the calling of a convention
I shudder to think what will inevita
bly follow in the next political cam
paign.
IF THIS WERE ONLY TRUE.
"Our people will come together if the
Convention is c4lled, and patriotism
and character without regard to faction
will govern in the selection of- those
who will make a new Constitution.
But if the Convention is not called then
we will be- divided into two hostile
'amps of white men in the next cam
paign, struggling to see which can get
the most negro votes. This is Inevit
able as that thbe sun will rise to-morrow.
What the result will be upon the future
progress of the State and its business
interests must be apparent to every
thinking man. Some men affect to be
leve that the negro, as a factor in our
politics, would produce no untoward
results, nor be dangerous to the public
welfare. Others say that the 'best"
white people, as they term themselves,
and the negroes in political combina
tion would bring ahout a restoration of
good government.
TH IS IS TRUE.
"But can ye touch pitch and not be
defiled? Can the 100,000 white men in
South Caioliua energize and marshal
the 140,000 negro veters in the State
and lead them to the polls, con
tending for the mastery, without de
struction of all of our business interests
and a paralysis of every industr3? Can
this vast horde of ignorant and bebased,
voters participate in governinent~ with
out corrupting and debaurbing the
publie service? Is it not clear- that
while in the first fight, and even poesi
bly ina the s ond, decent and honest
men may be elected to office, that the
inevitable trend of politics will be for
those who are most willing to go to
the level of the negro to control them?
Will the negroes not demand and en
force a division of the offices as a re
cognition of their service? Can we hope
that character end intelligence will
continue to control when such contin
gencies arise, as they inevitably will
arise? WVill not tihe needy and greedy
fiice-seekers, the corrupt, thbe low, the
base, among the whites finally use the
negro votes to virtually confiscate pro
perty and renew under the form of law
Jo n J. Patterson's five more years of
food st ealing?"
BECA USE HE MIIG HT JUIP FRoM[T HE
FIIYING PAN INTO THE FIRE.
"How then can any patriotic, sensi
ble man, who loves his State and race,
hesitate as to how he shall vote on thbis
Convention uestion? I confess it
puzzles :ne to account for the insane
oipposition whbich has arisen in so many
quarters. In some counties, where the
w hites are in the majority, which have,
therefore, never undergone, except in a
modified degree, the degradation and
miseries of the reconstruction period,
demagogical pleas are used to frighten
the poor whites. If we had a white
majority in the State this burning
question of negro supremacy, or quasi
supremacy, need not cause so mueb
alarm.
BUT IT IS THE WHITE MIEN IN THE
BLACK COUNTIES WHO OPPOSE THE
COVENTION M!OST.
"But those whbite men in the white
counties, who are opposing a Constitu
tional Convention and say there is no
danger, are like the ostrich which
hides its head in the saind and con
siders itself out of h'armn's way. They
bave never suffered w hat tiheir brethren
in the lower part of the State bave en
dured and they cannot therefore con
Iceive the terrible results that will
follow a division of the whites strug
lig~ to. cottrol the negro vote and
ma.kng hima the arbier of our politics.
If a tonstitutional Convention is not
(-alled when the twentieth century
shall dawn on tbis country there will*
be forty or fifty negro repres5eLntatives
in the South Cairoliina Legislature and
in most counties half, wtile in many
countes all of the county offices will be
filled by negroes."
A PERTINENTQUESTI')N.
'But, Governor, bow is thbe Constitu
tion to prevent all this?" I asked him.
"We have been trying to get a Con
stitutional Convention ever since the
a ites regained possession of the State
Government. The two thirds of the
House necessary to call one have voted
that way time and again, but it wvas
defeated in the Senate, and once, if I
remember, when the Senate voted the
necessary two-thirds the House was
not ready. TJhe peoiple were not theni
divided as they are now and there
never was the danger that now exists.
It the lack of unity among the whbite
men which will produce these dire
results, and the calling oif a coinventionl
s the only thing which will obviate
the danger. There is no doubt that the
rE'istration lawv will either be upset by
the Curts before thbe cam paign of 1896,
or that the Legislature will be forced
to provide for such changes as will
again put all the negroes in a condi
tion can deal with the suffrage questi3r
iit a way to save the suffrage to everN
white man worthy of a vote. while al
the saie time reduciug the negre
voters at least one half, possibly more.'
"How?" That's the question .
asked. Just about as Mr. Sligh did al
Ridgeway.
WHO IS GoING To TRI'ST TILLMAN?
"That's my secret. Let the people
of the State, the poor workingmen,
who have been my supporters and 01
whose cause I have always been chain
pion, trust me. Let them vote for the
Convention. 'ihe time to discuss the
method of reducirg negre nitijority is
after the Convention has been called.
The people can instruct the delegates
to it when they appear before them
asking to be elected not only on this
but on every other question. If the
plan then suggested does not meet their
approval they can elect men pledged
not to incorporate it in the new Con
stitution."
THE COST OF THE CONVENTION.
"What is your idea of the cost of the
Convention, Governor?" was asked him
for the sake of the money-thinking
voters.
"I see no reason why it should cost
more than a session of the General As
sembly, which is about $40,000. In the
first place it need not consist of more
than 124 members, giving representa
tion to counties according to popula
tion. There would be no heavy expense
for the the solicitors and a large num
ber of clerks and the printing bills
would be much lighter than for a ses
sion of the Legislatu're. A great deal
of the present Constitution ought to re
main untouched and I see no reason
why all the chances that are really
essential cannot be framed and ratified
in at most forty days."
Governor Tillman had said that th
Co. ven tion should be non.partisan, so I
asked bim whetber he thought Refor
iners would vote for a Conservative au
delegate to the Conv-ntion if called.
GOOD ADVICE THAT WOULD NOT B
FOLLOWED IF GIVEN.
He replied: "I should think, and ]
certainly wonld advise that the ques
tion of which side in State politics a
man stood on should have nothing tL
do with the selection of delegates. The
Constitution should not be a factional
one, and the men of the very highest
character,, purest lives, greatest wisdon
and knowledge should be selected with.
out regard to how they stood."
l'he Governor had said enough, and
with this said, "Good night." A. K.
SOME INSIDE HISTORY.
Extracts From Dr. Pope's Speech at Ridge
way Saturday, October 27.
The Herqld and News makes the fol
lowing co Ictions from a sp. ech of Dr.
Sampson Pope at Ridgeway last Satur
day. Being scraps of history connected
with the Reform movement wbieb
have not heretofore been made publi(
we desire to put them in permanent
shape. We feel sure these bits will be
of interest:
A RING-JUST THINK OF IT.
"In about the middle of December,
1893, 1 found for the first time that s
Ring was forming in Columbia for the
purpose of parceling out the offices, and
thus going b-ick upon the origina
principles of the Reform movemeut.
TOLD THE RING LEADER.
"I immediatelv addressed a letter t(
Governor Tillmnan, told him that I had
heard these things, that we had gone
out of the other wing of the party
to escape this very thing, as we thought.
that we had given him everything that
he wanted, and that we would not sub
mit to Rings or Bossism--to which let
ter I have never received a reply.
Returning home from Columbia, after
the session of the Legislature, early it:
Januarj, I was invited to address the
Alliance of Laurens County, and was
invi ted to the home of Senator Irby.]
would not violate the proprieties o:
hospitality, but Mr. G3antt has alluded,
without object ion from Col. Irby, and
possibly with his consent, to what oc
urred at Senator Irby's house.
ALAS, THOU TOO CONFIDING SA31PSON
"Going to Laurens and to Senatoi
Irby's home, I was made to believe by
him that the only way to overcome the
'State House Ring' was to fight for e
late convention, putting it on the higt
ground that by doing so, Messrs. W. D
Evans; John Gary Evans, Ellerbe
Tindal and myself, all of whom were
candidates for Governor, could have
time to go before the people, and could
thus have an even chance for the office
that this would prevent anything like
a Ring. I arquieseed, believing that i1
would be not only fair to us, but would
build up,the Reform movement by
relieving it of the charge of a Ring.
MORE HISTORY.
"Col. Irby diet-ated to Mr. Tighe the
resolutions which were to be introduced
the next day in the meeting. I sug
gested an earlier day for the conventioil
thai Col. Irby selected. I did so to pre
vent its interfering with the Democrati<
primary eampaign. I possibly suggest
ed one or two other alterations. T'be
meeting was held. I addressed it, and
afterwarls the resolutions were intro
duced andl passed. Col. Irby stated tc
me that he did not care which one 0:
three of us the people selected.
"JUJIPI.NG JUPITER!"
"He seemed only opposed to Rings
and Ring methods. I was, therefore
greatiy sur prised, not a great whbile
afterwards, to find that he was only
gaiing time to form the biggest Ring
that we have ever had in South Caro
lina; that his cry of State House ring
wa on!y' for the purpose of forming
the IrbyTilmanJohngatryevans5 Ring.
Not long afterwards r found that Col.
Evans had gone to Washington to lay
in his complaints.
Soon afterwards, Governor Tillman
who had favored Mr. Ellerbe and at
early convention, went there also, and,
strange to say, co~me back for Joht)
Gary~Evans and a late convention.
TH E CA RDS WERE PACKED).
"After getting into the canvass, I
found that the Reform primary was
packed and that the voice of the people
was to be stifled.
MIORE HISTORY BUr NEW.
"At Florence I called together
Messrs. Ellerbe and Tindal for a con
ference. 1 laid these matters before
them and attempted to convince
them that we stood no chance in the
primary, packed as it was."
- OTHERS WERE WEAK-K NEED.
"I asked them to join me in coming
out from that primary and go into the
general primary and thus force Joht
Gary Evans to do likewise. They re
fused, and afterward at Columbia,J
announced that I would be a candidate
in the general primary and not in the
ing primary."
WHY MIE CUT LOOSE.
"Finding, after I got in the genera
primary that I could not get a ticket it
the general primary except in threi
ounties and- seeing that [ would be
sacri ficed, the Reformers being so mucl
afraid of the Ring, I announce<
through the papers that I would not bi
a candidate at the primary, and soom
afterwards announced myself a candi
date at thegeneral election.
WAIR PAINT A LL ON NOW.
"I am here to-day fighting your bat
tIe against Rings and Bossism and fo:
good government. I am standing om
te original principles of the Reforni
movement. 1 am consistent and have
been consistent. Those who are op
posed to me are not consistent for thea
are trampling under foot the rights o
the people and the principles of Re
frm. They l'olster themselves up; t he3
are appealing to the prejudices and the
passions of the people, talking aboul
wbite supremacy, insinuatinug thai
others are appealing to the negro, anc
just here I must say t,hey are preachinj
oneting anid practicing another. Il
any one has appealed to the uegro it is
they and not 1.
S311THEREENRED PROMISES.
"You were promised in 18W0 a reduc
tion .tf taxes. Noow what are the facts?
During the four years of Governor
Richardson's administration upon a
property valuation of about $150,000,00
or less your taxes averaged four and
three-fourths mills. Under Governor
Tillmis ad ninist ration for four years,
with a property valuation of $168,000,000
your taxes have averaged four and
three-fourths mills per year. Both are
exclusive of the two mill tax. So that
your taxes have not been reduced.
"CoMPARISONS ARE ODIOUS."
"Governor Tillman promised to save
you $100,000 a year if elected. He has
not doue it.
"The dispensary was never a demand
of the Reform movement. It has be
come, in my judgment, a huge political
maebine.
THE REASON WHY.
"You can very well see this when you
know that a large number of men have
been appointed constables all over the
State, and each constable a friend and
interested in the perpetuation of the
present administration, and, as such,
it is
A MENACING DANGER
to the rights and liberies of the people
of South Carolina. It has been con
ducted in such a way as to cause bad
blood among our people, and I am sor
ry to say it has been the cause of the
shedding of the blood of our peop3e.
Private residences have been searched
withiout cause or provocation at the
dead hour of night. Women and chil
dren have been frigh'ened almost to
death; the righIs and liberties of our
citizexn have been interferel with.
"The law should be wiped from the
statute book, and the usurpation of
power by the executive prevented.
THAT TICKET "OVERSIGHT."
"You are called upon to vote upon a
constitutional convention, and yet the
execetive com nittee of the Democratic
party has refused to send out tickets
whit- would enable yo to vote against
it. I have had them printed through
the kindness of friends and you will
have the opportunity of voting against
it.
A PLAIN DUTY.
"And it is your duty to vote against
it, for it is proposed to formulate a con
stitution; you know not what it is to
contain. Possibly an educational qual
ification to vote and to hold office, a
$3 poll tax, and you know not what
else. And yet it is not to be submitted
to the people for ratification.
A PARTING WORD
"Now, my friends, the peace and
harmony of our people have been de
stroyed by evil and designing men for
the purpose of perpetuating themselves
in power. This is not only wrong but
it is unchristian. Those you are taught
to hate and despise are your own
brothers, sons, fathers, neighbors and
friends.
SAYS IT'S MONSTROUS.
"It is monstrous in the extreme, and
you should put your feet down upon it.
A movement that must be upheld by
such will sooner or later end in infamy.
In 1892 r was editing a daily journal
in this State. Objections were raised
by certain leaders to my editing ;t, be
cause I was not bitter, because I did not
abuse the opposition.
AS TO GANTT.
"I found it out and resigned the posi
tiotn and one was brought in who for bit
terness and vindictiveness has no equal
in journalism in South Carolina. Ihave
told you these things, because I believe
it is my duty to do so, in order that you
may see how evil and designing men
are trying to use you to keep them in
power. You have the opportunity to
put an end to this, to bring about good
feeling among your people, to have
peace and prosperity in South Caroli
na."
