/ ®hc Sarlington gctcs. HENRY T. THOMPSON., WADDY THOMPSON, i Editor*. Thorsday, April 21.71892. CHARITABLENESS AT A DISCOUNT We have indulged in the hope that the State campaign this year would be devoid of the bit ter personalities that charac terized the last campaign. But it is with the newspapers that we have the greatest fear. Vituperation and abuse have already begun to creep into ar ticles on State politics. Neither side is blameless in this matter, for several newspapers of both factions have already begun to heap abuse upon those who dif fer with them. While we do not propose to malign those who differ with us, we intend to de fend to the best of our ability the men who have been se lected as our standard bearers. Our candidate for Superin- teudant of Education is Rev. D. W. Hiott, of Anderson. He is a Baptist preacher in good standing and a man admired and respected by his neighbors, and it is they who know him best, for his pious character and sterling worth. Yet many wri ters in newspapers are calling him a “Judas Iscariot” and similar opprobrious names, be cause,forsooth,acting as his con science dictates, he is opposing Tillman. Shall we ever be de livered from such uncharitable ness ? It is an unjustifiable on- slought upon one who fears God and loves his fellow man. In a recent issue of the Cotton Plant, James L. Orr, our candi date for Lieutenant Governor, is taken to task because his fath er became a Republican after the war. It is no news to any well informed citizen of South Carolina that Col. Orr’s. father was a Republican. The people condemned the father for his conduct and the whole life of the son has plainly shown that he did not approve of his fath er’s politics. the first cry to arms in 1870 Col. Orr went straight to the front and, though quite a young man, was elected a member of the famous “Wal lace House.” He it was, who, at the head of the Democratic Legislature, broke open the doors and forced an entrance into the House of Representa tives. We all remember this, yet Col. Orr is now denounced because his father was a Repub lican. Are we so blinded that we ignore a mau’sgmblic record and hold him responsible for his father’s? The truth is, Col. Orrs record has been so blame less and spotless that his op ponents hate to resort to such weak argument. They can find nothing else against him. He lives in the up country and that section has honored him time and again with public trusts in recognition of his worth. Now a writer in Marion is furiously angry with the preach ers, because, with but very few exceptions, they are opposed to Tillman. Does he wish to say hard things about the ministers of the Gospel ? Does he wish to credit them with the sinister motives ascribed to the rest of us poor mortals who oppose Tillman ? If it bo his intention to drag the characters of the ministers into the mire, what is the end in store for the country? OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. Mr. Cleveland may truly say : "The cry is, still they come!” for every week States are added to the Cleveland column. On Wednesday of last week Penn sylvania Democrats in conven tion assembled elected Cleveland delegates to the National Con vention and passed strong re solutions favoring Mr. Cleve land. Pennsylvania has almost as many votes in the convention as New York and her delegation will consequently offset the Hill trick in that State. On the same day another State convention was held. Ne braska Democrats met that day to elect delegates to the Nation al Convention and they also en thusiastically endorsed Mr. Cleveland. Indiana, a pivotal State, has selected Mr. Cleveland as her standard bearer in preference to her illustrious son, ex-Gov- emorGray. Mr. Cleveland car ried Governor Gray’s own coun ty. It has been decided that Indiana shall cast her vote for Mr. Cleveland and that Govern or Gray shall receive the sup port of the State only in the event of Mr. Cleveland’s failure to get the nomination—a con tingency that now seems im possible. The following is the list of States, together with the num-’ her of delegates, that have so far declared for Mr. Cleveland: Massachusetts, 28; Rhode Is land, 8; Pennsylvania 64; Min nesota, 18; Nebraska, 16; North Dakota, 6; total 140. To these must be added Indiana, with 30 delegates, and Kansas with 20, for a large majority of the del egates to the Indiana and Kan sas State Conventions, which will be held soon, are Cleveland men. This brings the total for Cleveland to 190 and we do not take into account the large number of States conceded to him in which no elections have yet been held. Look at the Hill column! New York 72 and Wyoming, whose delegates are said to favor Mr. Hill, 6; total 78. And, further more Mr. Hill cannot count on any other States with absolute certainty. South Carolina should swing into line for Cleveland. It is useless to oppose him for he will be nominated before South Carolina will be reached on the first roll call. Besides, wh> should there be any opposition to him in this State? Is he not the best man for the place ? SIGNIFICANT ACTION. The State Democratic Con vention of Nebraska, which met last week, did something else of importance besides electing Cleveland delegates to the Na tional Convention. A motion to endorse the free coinage of sil ver was defeated by a large ma jority. This is very significant, coming from a Western State that has always been regarded as a hot bed of free silver senti ment. It is a forerunner of the fate awaiting the question of free coinage of silver. The en dorsement of this measure by the National Democratic Con vention would inevitably lead to the party’s defeat. The Ne braska Democrats realize the fact and, loyal Democrats as they are, will put the question aside for the present at least. In this they will be joined by all Democrats throughout the coun try who wish for the party’s success. THE SOLICITORSHIP. J. M. Johnson, Esq., of Mar ion, announces in this issue his candidacy for re-election to the office of Solicitor of the Fourth Circuit, subject to result of the Democratic primary. Mr. John son is very strong before a jury, has made a vigorous and suc cessful prosecuting officer, and will doubtless receive the en dorsement of the Democrats of the Fourth Circuit for a second term. STATE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchangee, And Put in Paragraphi. Last week D. M. Stribling, deputy sheriff of Laurens Coun ty, killed a negro named John James. He attempted to arrest the negro and the latter made an effort to kill him. The corner stone of the Con federate monument at Orange burg was laid with imposing ceremonies on Tuesday of last week. Gen. M. C. Butler was the orator of the occasion. A few days ago J. L. Brig- man was brutally murdered, near Dillon, Marion County, by John Pope, who beat him to death with a gun. Both men were drunk. Pope has fled. Each had a wife and a large family. Ex-G o v e r n o r Hugh S. Thompson, of this State, who has been the Democratic mem ber of the United States Civil Service Commission for several years past, has resigned to ac cept the position of Comptroller of the New York Life Insurance Company, at a salary of $10,000 a year. The State campaign opened on Saturday last with a large mass meeting in Greenville. Governor Tillman, ex-Governor Sheppard, Lieutenant Governor Gary and Col. Orr were the speakers. The crowd was very boisterous, each faction ‘'howl- ing down” the speaker on the other side. It is hoped that the est of the campaign will be conducted in a better manner than the Greenville meeting. The Reformed Republican party of South Carolina was or ganized on Tuesday of last week at » State Convention in Columbia. Rev. R. W. Mem- minger, of Charleston, son of the Confederate States Secreta ry of the Treasury, presided at the convention and one of the prominent participants in the proceedings was W. P. Russel!, of Charleston, who was a con spicuous member of the famous March Convention of 1890. GENERAL NEWS. Itemeo' Interest From All Over The World. Mrs. Harrison, wife of the President, is quite sick. Two white men were murder ed for their money by unknown parties, on Friday night, near Hernando, Fla. A train was held up near New > Orleans, on Friday night, by three robbers who stole $3,000 from the express car. In Portland, Men, a woman, on Sunday cut the throat of her three-weeks-old baby and then attempted to kill herself. By an explosion at a powder mill at Wilkesbarre, Pa., on Wednesday of last week, seven men were instantly killed and two fatally injured. Hon. Alexande* McKenzie, for many years the leader of the Liberal party in Canada and for six years premier of that country, died in Toronto on Sunday. The paper mill at Coltsville, Ohio, was destroyed by fire on Thursday. At this mill all the United States bank and treas ury note paper has been made for thirteen years. It has been discovered that Rev. Edgar Dunbar, of the Cali fornia Conference, is a bigamist. He has had three wifes and three families, one wife and family in Florida|another in Arkansas, and the third in California. Some of the Alliances in Geor gia have been passing resolu tions endorsing the Third Party. As this is in direct conflict with the constitution which prohib its politics in the order, the State Executive committee of the Alliance, at its meeting last week, unanimously passed a resolution demanding that all Alliances which have endorsed the Third Party rescind the reso lutions immediately or surrend er iheir charters. THE PLAN OF BATTLE. A Darlingtonian Furnishes a Sumter Contemporary his Views on the Subject. Editors The Freeman: The general plan of battle of the Sheppard faction is almost un mistakable, judging from the personnel of the ticket. It will oe remembered that the oppo sition in the last campaign was conducted on the principle of “war to the knife.” There was no word in the language too vulgar, abusive and low to be applied to the Reformers and particularly to their chief candi date. That plan failed, now we are to see the opposite plan adopted. I venture to predict that in the coming campaign we shall have nothing butsweet- ness and compliments, concess ion and compromise, of course they have no idea of electing their State ticket, that is not their objective point. Their evident idea is this, that by carrying on a campaign of that character over the State, they would exert a powerful influence in the selection of members of the legislature. They are going to preach conciliation and compromise so strong that they hope here and there to se duce the reform element intogiv ing them this, that andjthe other representative in the different counties until they can aggre gate enough to block all legis lation. I think this conclusion is fully sustained by the general character of the ticket, for they certainly had enough material to make a strong ticket, whilst the one is so—almost Indicrious- ly—mild and gentle, that it might readily be mistaken for a detachment of the Salvation army going over the State. There is certainly no material then for aggressive warfare for offensive and defensive oper ations. • It is simply a “feint” made on the centre, to cover the flank movement, in the several coun ties, of capturing represent atives. We should be on our guard against this, seeing that great and important issues are at stake. The kindly nature of our Southern people is easily touch ed by kind and flattering words, this is admirable but let us not carry it to the expense of being seduced into indifference to our liberty or in making compro mises that may nullify all that has been accomplished by the last two years of arduous en deavor.
