vCjg>%m " - ' • ■ THE DARLINGTON NEWS. THtJIJSDAV, NOV. 11, 1886 "UJ! 1 HESKY T. THOMPSON EU1TOK H li — —» THE ELECTIONS. A briet review of tbe rcmilt of tbe electioos on tbe 2ud iuetnut, will be ot interest at this time. As will be seen from tbe retnrua in another column a veryjight vote was polled in Darlington county, which in tact, was tbe case all over the State. This, of course, was due to tbe rea son that, with the exception of tbe county of Berkeley, where an Indei>endeut ticket was run, there were no great issues at stake, while tbe success of tbe Dem ocratic party and tbe niaiutainance of an honest State government was regarded as a foregone conclusion. This lack of interest is unfortunate; •‘eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,” and it is to bo deplored that tbe people of South Carolina, after their experience in tbe past should be lulled into feelings of se- turity and indifference because there happened to he no enemy which they can see. Tbe three features of the result in South Carolina worthy of men tion are, the defeat ot tbe Independ ent ticket in Berkely, the election of Col. William Elliott in the Sev enth Congressional District, and the composition of the House of Representatives in our next State Legislature. For several years past what is kuowu as the “Black Dis trict” has been represei ted in Con gress by Robert Smalls. The peo ple of that District objected to Smalls, not so much on account of his color, as to because of bis very unsavory reputation, aud it must be an immense relief to them to feel that instead of a con victed bribetaker they have as their representative Col. VVm. El liott, of Beaufort, oue “to the man nerboru,”a gentleman of marked ability aud spotless integrity. It is said that out ot tbe 124 mem bers who served for tbe past term iu the House of Representatives in South Carolina only about 25 have been returned. For nearly 100 new men to be sent to the Legislators is rather unnsual, and is indicative of dissatisfaction with the laws enact ed by those who have tp stay at home this time. Whether or not this dissatiafaction is well founded remains to be seen, since up to tbe present time it has been manifested chiefly in the assertion of vague generalities without ever being re duced to any speciflc statement of facts. Of one thing we feel certain : Tbe new members who are sent to the house from all parts of tbe State, nomiuated aa they were by Demo cratic primaries or Democratic cou veutious, have tbe interests of the party thoroughly at heart aud will work conscientiously for its ad vaucement aud for the prosperity of Sooth Carolina. The result of the election of rep resentatives to the filtieth Con. gross created some surprise, the large Democratic majority iu forty ninth Congress having been reduc ed to a bare working majority. In tbe present Congress there is a majority of 43; in the next, count ing together the Republican and Independent members, there will be a Demociatic majority of 26. The Republicans have gained five mem bers iu Virginia, five in Ohio, three each in Illinois, Indiana and New York, two iu Kentucky, two in Michigan and oue iu New Jersey. Tbe change iu Virginia is particn larly to l>e noticed; eij-ht of tbe pre sent Congressmen from that State are Democrats, and two Republi cans; while in the next Congress there will be three Democrats, six Republicans and one Labor repre aentative. This is most unexpect . ed, aa tbe Democrats in Virginia last year elected their legislature and State officers. It is presumed that the Mahooeitea voted with the Republicans, and took tbe Demo crats by surprise. Morrison, tbe representative from Illinois, a shin ing light among tbe free traders in Congress was defeated, while Car Hale, another prominent free-trader and the Speaker ot the present Hoase, was barely elected by an exeeedingly small majority. In considering the result of the Congressional elections ft mast be remembered, however, that, to some extent, the result is due to the fact that history has a way of repeating itself; and it is a well-recognized troth in political history that iu “off-years” there are great changes in sentiment growing oat of oppo sition to tbe administration which has sprang op daring tbe preceding two years; an opposition which, when tbe rime for tbe presidential pproacbes, has invariably i way to the nobler sentiment principle. # 1 37; Kershaw, 35; King, 37 ; Do-j full line of Butterick’a patterns iu Tbe contest for the Mayoralty of I Bw, 35.

Democrats in South Carolina aa j well aa iu other parts of tbe Uniou I can receivtt useful lessons from : these elections. The protectionists iu the West caught tbe Democrats napping and by bringing all theii efforts into play defeated Morrison aud almost defeated Carlisle be cause they were pronounced free traders. The friends of Carlisle did not know be was iu any danger, aud many of them did not go to tbe polls to votel Should any great issue like this creep into politics in South Carolina, bow easy it would be for a Repnlican candidate for Congress to step in before the very eyes of oar good Democrats, closed aa they are in fancied security I Poor old Virginia, ernahed as abe has alteady been under the heel of tbe Independent and traitor, seems destined to return to her former state of degradation. Tbe Democrats of South Carolina would do well to take warning from these precedents; from now until the next Presiden tial election they should lie on the alert, aud should stand together with solid trout, ready to crush out any movement which savors of In- depeudentiam. THAT DAY TRAIN TOTHE CAPITAL.

Whatever conclusion the authorities may come to, tbe News will feel certain that they will have done their beat to accommodate our people. 1 nothing else can be done, the sched ule of the freight trains could be so arranged that one would leave Flor euce iu the moruiug aud connect with tbe fast train at Sumter at 10 o’clock; so agaiu iu the afternoon a freight might connect at Sumter with tbe fast traiu returning from Columbia, thascarryiop the passen gera into Florence early in tbe even ing. By this arrangement passen gers living on tbe line ot tbe C. A D. road could spend tbe whole uigbt iu Floreuce both iu goiug and re turuiug, aud would uot have to take the train at 2.40 A.

An Enterprising business House. Messrs. C. B. Edwards nud J. E. Nornn-nf, who compose the firm of Edwards A Norment, have been in business onlv seven years, yet by their eneigy and popularity they now control one of the most exleu sive trades iu Darlington County. Last spring they had erected on the eastern side ot the square one of the largest and ham'aoinrfu brick stores in town, 35 feet wide by 125 feet long. Ttiougb the depart meuts of their business are man^ aud vaiied, yet the judgment and system with which it is all conduc ted enables them to arrange their wares with as much convenience as if they had a separate store for each department. Ou entering the store the first thing which attracts attention are the handsome display windows tastily arranged with a varied supply of crockiry and cut glass ware, china aud majolica sets, lamps Ac., all of which constitute the finest assortment iu town iu this particular liue. The first de pa:linent ou the right is that ol ladies, dress goods and trimmings, of which there is a complete line from American standards to uovel ties iu impelled goods, together with a large stock of dry goods and staple and taimy goods. Then, in the shoe department, which runs back for fifty feet, there is as large a stock as any iu town, including the special brands ofjEriti A Reed's ladies’ and Ueisei’s gentlemen’s shoes, the sale of which is exclua ively controlled by the firm in this market. Next, there is a handsome dis play ot ladies’ and misses* cloaks, wraps, dolmans, new markets and Jersey’s, all tailor made. In the retail grocery department, there is always on Lund a complete line of fancy delicacies and fresh groceries, while back ol filestore is the wholesale grocery ware room, here city prices lor first-class w holesale groceries are guaranteed. The special l rands of flour, “Dar • iugton,” “Fancy” “Farmer’s choice” aud “Good aa Gold” are controlled exclusively by the firm in this mar ket, who also keep for sale a flue ot of harness aud the celebrated •Dixie” plow. Connected with this store by telephone is their exclu sively wholesale grocery at the depot, the only ihing of the kind in town. Shortly after this ware house was built at the dcjiot, it was Uis- troyed by lb« cyclone which visited Darlington several year* ago, but these undaunted business men uot ouly rebuilt it at ouoe but took tbe opportunity to build it larger. The store ou the square has two eutrauces at the front We have just bceu de scribing what is to iie seen wbeu one eutera the door ou the left. On entering the right baud door von find yourself in a handsomely furnished parlor which baa been fitted up ns a millinery department, with lace curtains, glaaa abeiviug an I abow cases and a large, fall length mirror. This department lain charge of Miaa Kebo a Baltimore milliner ami Mia* Mildred Parrott, of Darlington Gonuty. Iu addition lo the fine bate, flowers and millinery goods kept here, specialties are made ot kid gloves and oorseU. There is a Politics in New York. New York, Nov. 5 1886. Editor Darlington Newt: Thinking that perhaps a few ob servations on the appearance of the political horizon as viewed in this city, and as affected by the recent municipal election, as well as by the November elections in general, might be of interest to some of the re.tdeis of tbe News, I have con cluded to write you a short letter on this subject. The firing of the sunset gun iu New York City on last Tuesday evening marked the close of a contest characterized by an importance far exceeding that of any common p'ace municipal struggle ou either aide of the Atlan tic, and certainly the most impor tant that New York City has ever witnessed. It was remarkable in more respects than one aside from its being an occasion to test the comparative power ot the two prin- ci pal parties in the city, and aside Iron the political significance which these parties attached to its result as determining their respective de feat or success in the presidential election iu 1888—the issue was com plicated by the presence of another party which has, mush room-like suddenly spring up into healthy existence. The candidates iu the held were Abram S. Hewitt and Theodore Roosevelt endorsed and supported re»i»ectively by the Demo cratic and Republican parties,*and Henry George, who figured as the choice ot, what is here known, as the Labor Party. The result was, as you are aware, as follows— Hewitt 90,456; George 67,930; Roosevelt 60,474. It is true the Democrats were successful ouly by a small majority, comparatively, still sufficiently large to elect to the municipal chief magistracy for two years hence a man who is a heavy tax payer himself, aud a man of public spirit, sol d record and of recognized ability, rather than a houseless, uou-tax payer of socialist ideas ou tbe oue hand, or a “well enthusiast whose time is divided between the wildernesses of the far west aud the gay frivolities of metropolitan winter life,” on the other hand. The canvass was ren dered, the more exciting because of the spilt iu the Democratic party, living Hall bolting from Tammany aud supporting Gecrge Fordayo. 1 revious to the election the streets were almost snowed under with campaign circulars, posters, etc,, while rousing meetings were held at Tammany, Irving, and Stein way Halls, Cooper Union, aud other prominent political headquarters throughout the city. On Saturday night tbe Georgemen had a grand parade with between 40.UOO and 50,000 in ranks; on Tuesday night alter result of election was (earned, the Tammany ites held a great J unification meeting. The vast ball of the wigwam within whose walls the late lamented John Kelly so long and no shrewdly reigned King, echoed and re-echoed with shouts and howls for Hewitt and victory Grand Master Workman Powderly was here and went so tar as to lake the stump in George’s bebalt. His position of absolute political inde pendence has doubtless been badly shaken by his active intervention here in George’s interest. It U generally thonght that he has in jnred tbe cause which be so warmly espooses by dragging the principles of tuis otherwise commendable, cause into tbe political arena—es pecially when the issue was justly leared to emlaxly tbe principles of socialism and communism, the most deadly foes of our graud Republi can form ot government As we have remarked the cause of Labor movement is just aud proper if advocated intelligently aud patri otically. That tbe laboring classes have wrongs to be rigbte i aud grievances to be redressed oo fair and liberal minded person will de ny, and these powerfully organized Labor movements throughout tbe Uoitod States demonstrate that tbe correctable abuses, tbe remedial wrongs, aud the removable inequali ties that press men down iu this land ot hlterty must t>e attended to. But it is unfortunate that these movements, especially iu tbe large cities, are composed to a great ex tent of restless half, informed arti sans and the adherents of socialism aud communism, as well as tbe honest law-abidina laboring men. It does seem that the governments iu general have too long been indif ferent in regard to tbe wants of the lattet class. But the recent ex periences at Chicago demonstrate the fact that if what tbe laboring men are striving for is to be accom plished, it will be ouly by peaceful, intelligent co-operation aud not by deeds of lawlessness. The general opinion here ia that Mr. George is uot the “Moses” to lead New York’s des'reused from their Egypt of grievances aud hardships. His ideas are considered to be directly antagonistic to tbe fundamental principles of correct government aud society aud as evidenced by Tuesday’s election, Americans are uot yet prepared for the acceptauce of the doctrine and practice ot pub lic plunder; still, the heavy social ist element in tbe George vote last Tuesday reuders it necessary for thoughtful citizens to be ou their guard lest our goverumeut at any time be disrupted, thereby damag ing public credit aud paralixing tbe productive resources of the coun try. From the November election re turns the situation is regarded aa being pretty much the same as it was in 1882. New Y'urk State has again gone Democratic, but by a margin so small aud fortnitous that no oue can call it absolutely cer tain. New York will again be the battle field aud pivotal State in the next Presidential election. Tne surmiae* are various as to who will be the caudidate. From Mr. Cleve land’s conservatism to tbe Repub licaus and bis regard shown the independents and mugwumps, it is evideut that he is desirous of enter iug the race. Prudent politioiaus believs that the next nomiuee, in order to be elected, must control the Labor vote, aud if the next nominee is to be selected with a view of obtaining the labor vote in the empire pivotal State as the last caudidate was selected with a view of obtaining tbe independent vote, it is thought that Gov. D. B. Hill, of New York will be the man. G.

John L. M in ning fill the place admirably f Where could a more representative Southern gentleman lie fonud than Governor Manning T He is a man of Chesterfieldiau courtesy, of exten sive information, one whose family has been prominently identified with the history of Carolina since the bloody days of the Revolution. Gov. Manning is a tried and true Democrat, and in tbe atirring polit ical campaign of 1884, when lie was a presidential elector, his eloquent voice was heard telling the sous of Carolina to do their dutv, their full duty, lor Cleveland and reform. Nor was this the ouly time. He has ever been an earnest worker and speaker for the Democratic party. With such a cul ured gentleman as a foreign minister, our great gov ernment would be represented most admirably ” Important Decision. Judge Pressley filed a decision in the Clerk’s office last evening, which i is of considerable importance to | landlords, in the case of Thomas Cavenden, landlord, against Claris sa May, tenant, which was tried before Trial Justice Pickling last July, uuder section 1,819, General Statutes, where three day*’ notice is allowed to show cause before a trial justice why the writ of eject ment should uot be granted. In this case the trial justice granted the wnt of ejectment which was taken to tbe higher Court by a writ of certiorari Judge Pressley held that the trial justice had no juris diction as the section was unconsti tutional. Under this decision land lords who eject a tenant, as in tbe above case, render themselves lia ble to suit for damagss. This de cision reverses the previous rulings iu such cases, and remits landlords to the old remedy of two trial jns tj. cea and a jury of freeholders.—Em- itter. New AMverllwemealw.
