W;" 'i'W-f* SJhc Darlington MR. WADDILL WRITES. HENRY T. THOMPSON. | WADDY THOMPSON, Editors. Thorsday, May 12, 1892. CLEVELAND AND HILL. The Cleveland column contin ues to grow. On Wednesday of last week the Democratic conventions of two great states of the Northwest, Wisconsin and Michigan, instructed their delegates to the National con vention to vote for Grover Cleve land. Wisconsin sends 24 dele gates and Michigan 28 This brings the Cleveland column to 314. On the other hand the Hill column is not even remaining stationary. He has the 72 dele gates from New York and claims the 6 delegates from Wyoming. But those who are versed in Wyoming politics state that 3 of the delegates from that State are in favor of Cleveland. If this be true, as it probably is, Cleveland’s vote is increased to 317 and Hill’s is reduced to 75. In other words, of the 390 dele gates so far elected to the Na tional convention, 314 are un questionably for Cleveland and he may receive the 8 from Wy oming which are in doubt. There will be in the neighbor hood of 900 delegates in the convention and it will require two-thirds to nominate, or 000 votes. Cleveland already has 314 votes or over half the num ber necessary to nominate him, although only seventeen of the forty-nine states and territories have been heard from! The situation in New York every day grows brighter for Cleveland. Events are rapidly transpiring in that State to show that Hill’s snap scheme did not voice the sentiment of the Demo cracy of New York. Tammany always likes to be on the win ning side and its leaders have already shown an inclination to desert Hill, by their declaration that they are not wedded to any man’s candidacy. As soon as it becomes clear that Hill can not be nominated, Tammany will desert him as it would a sinking ship. The Democrats of New York who feel outraged at Hill’s snap convention will hold a State convention this week. Every county will probably be repre- » sented. The convention will send a delegation to the Nation al convention to contest the seats of the Hill delegates and will present, the a. strong protest against Hill. This protest has already been signed by 120,000 Democrats of New York and before the National convention meets the number will probably be increased to 200,000. All this goes to prove that Cleveland is a great deal stronger among the rank and file of the New York Democracy than Hill would have the rest of the country believe. We be lieve he is stronger in New York to-day than Hill is. Such is the reward of honesty. Cleveland has not raised a lin ger to secure the nomination. He simply stands on his record as an honest man and the peo ple love him for his honesty. They distrust Hill because he has stooped to scramble, and even to use questionable meth ods, to secure the high and dignified position of Democratic candidate for the Presidency. Since the above was wi itten the Cleveland men have over whelmingly carried Connecti cut and Cleveland delegates have been elected to the Na tional convention. Connecti cut sends twelve delegates and this carries the Cleveland col umn (conntins'3 from Wyoming) to 329. It is well to remember that Connecticut is considered a doubtful State and it is impor tant for the paity to carry it.) Abbeville The Democrats of that State re cognize Cleveland as the best man to lead them to victory. cations will be sent us for pub lication between now and the election and it may be well for i A * ,em P ,s *° Defend *he Action of Items o us to make right here a plain ve J on .I H e Ai,o State, i statement of our position.

We wish to impress upon our friends the importance of mak ing their communications brief. Our space is limited and in our efforts to diversify our news by touching upon every matter of importance, it is impossible to devote any great space to one subject. We have to abridge our own articles and it is only reasonable to request those writing communications for publication to do the same. Be sides in most cases what one wishes to say can be said very briefly and unnecessary length often weakens an argument. If every man will bear these con ditions in mind when writing to The News, he may rest assured that his communication will be published. We take the pains to make this explanation that every man may know just what he may expect from The News and hope that all cause for misun derstanding may thereby be re moved in advance.

MAJOR GEORGE W. EARLE. It is a lot that befalls but few men to live for many yea r s in a community and, when stricken by death, to leave it without making a single enemy. A man of such a character as to win for himself nothing but the af fection and good will of every body is indeed rare in this world of ours, made up, as it largely is, with selfishness and petty jeal ousies, but we believe that our fellow townsman, Major George W. Earle, whom death took from our midst on Thursday last, was such a man. For thirty-five years he lived in this community and he passed to and fro among our people in the daily walks of life, meeting none but friendly faces and receiving none but cordial greetings, for who among all who knew him had but the kindest feeling towards him? It is probable that no man has had less friction in his dealings with his fellow man than Major Society Hill. The only effort made at Society Hill on our side was made by the writer, who notified about thirty men of the club meeting and these thirty injured. Ferdinand Ward was released from Sing Sing prison on the 30 ult., having served his term of six j’ears and a half.

This from the peace and harmo ny faction. We confess we see no peace and harmony for us, unless we “give in” to the minority and do as they bid us. How was it, Mr. Ed.tor. at Leavensworth ? Were not the Tillmanites in the majority there? Did they not divide ? Did the Hartsville and Dar lington clubs divide ? You charge, Mr. Editor, that King Caucus decreed there should be no compromise. Why, Mr. Ed itor. Society Hill, Darlington and Hartville’s decree had gone forth on April 9 that the peace and harmony cry was only meant for Alliance men, Till stitutional, as he is a member of the Legislature and can not serve in a co-ordinate depart ment. Lieutenant Governor Gary, who was appointed to serve on a similar position, thinks he can serve and the Attorney General gives it as his opinion that he can do so.
