The St Louis Globe-Democrat
■ays: ‘ < Tillman, the Alliance Demo-
eiatic candidate for Governor of
South Carolina, is one of the men
who is responsible for all the Con
gressional legislation against the
South which has ever been proposed.
In threatening, as he has often done
recently, that all the negroes, who at
tempt to vote this year in South
Carolina will, be shot, he makes force
bills seem statesmanlike and neces
sary.”
Nobody Frightened.
The threads and denunciations
made by Mr. Tillman and his sup
porters are absurd and undignified
and only serve-to show the weakness
ef their cause. There is no reason
why the election should not be per
fectly peaceable and quiet and if it
is otherw ise Mr. Tillman will be re
sponsible for any violence or blood
shed that may result. Rage and
fume as they may, it will not deprive
Judge Haskell of a single vote of
those who are only contending for
principle and striving to maintain the
purity of the Democratic party; be
lieving as they do that if Mr. Till
man is elected without protest, the
condition of the party will be infi-
■itely worse two years hence than it
now is.
His Eyes May Be Opened.
Tillman, in an interview at Spar-
lanbnrg the other day, q]aimed that
he would get from 90 to 95 per cent
•f the white vote of the State and
that he would be elected by from
30,000 to 50,000 over Haskell. We
wonder if the blunderer and slander
er really believes any such nonsense.
He ought to know that there are
many men in the State who, although
they were not in favor of running
the Haskell ticket, will, now that
the ticket is in the field, vote for it.
These, in addition to the large num
ber who are in favor of beating Till
man at all hazards and a goodly
number of men for whom Tillman
has failed to provide places, will
make up a great deal more than 5 or
10 per cent of the white voters of
the State. It may be that the Cap-
Lpn’* eyes will be somewhat opened
an election day if they have have not
already begun to see the light of the
tidal wave that is sweeping the^State
for Haskell.
War Ties-Arc the Strongest.
We heard on reliable authority the
ether day that a Tillmanite at Doves-
ville said he was going to vote for
Haskell. He said that he had sup
ported Tillman all along through the
campaign, but now that Haskell was
in the field he was going to vote for
him as he had fonght in the war with
him. This same war feeling has
tremendous weight with many of the
elder men in the State and they can
not overcome it They will believe
in the Farmers’ Movement and all
that sort of thing, but war tics will
he stronger and they will go to the
polls and cash their ballots for A. O.
Haskell, as noble and brave a man as
the State ever produced. Tillman,
en the other hand, pretends to de
spise war records and points with
pride to his record at Ellington.
It is possible that he may, in the
coarse of the next ten days, wish
that he hud bod a war record along
with a good many other qualities
which would have enabled him to
Iccomo Governor of South Carolina.
Tillman’s adherents,Ahere is no man
living- for^ yhom the people of
South Car^ina cherifi as ; mnoh re
spect and adnu ration’as tbby do for
Wade Hampton; and he deserves all
in this way that can possibly be given
him. On almost every "battle field of
Virginia he illustrated the valor and
chivalry of South Carolina, and since
the war has donejnore for the peace
and prosperity of the State than any
of her sons. It was the hope of many
that after his outrageous treatment
by Mr. Tillman’s half crazed follow
ers, he would be silent for the rest
of the campaign; and it is a matter
of sincere regret that he has an
nounced his determination to support
Mr. Tillman, assuming thereby a
position that is both unwise and
untenable. He has, with a large
number of onr most intelligent and
most honorable citizens, fallen into
the strange error that one may sup
port Mr. Tillman and at the same
time denounce the man and deny
his slanders. A little reflection ought
to show the fallacy of his position,
for it may be safely asserted that
whoever votes for him not only sus
tains him bnt endorses his infamous
charges. The homely truth, that a
man is is judged by his acts and not
By his belief, cannot be too often re
peated and insisted upon at this
juncture. Granting that Mr. Till
man is the true nominee of the Dem
ocratic party, even then he should
not be supported unless it be that
we must put party before principle
and vote for a man that is utterly
unworthy of the position to which
he aspires. If Mr. Tillman’s charges
against the leaders of the party in
the State are true, then it is a party
of corruption and should no longer
have the support of those who think
that there ought to be some honor
and principle even in politics.
, Mr. Tillman has done and is still
doing more to furnish the Republi
can party material for a crusade
against the South than any other
man in the country, and he could
scarcely have done more in this way
if he had set out with this deliberate
purpose in view. If the the Repub
licans havs a majority in the next
Congress the Lodge bill M ill be pre
sented and Mr. Tillman’s threats
against the colored people will be
cited as an argument in favor of the
necessity for its passage. What will
it avail for onr Senators and Repre
sentatives to say that this is not the
sentiment of our people toa-ard the
negro, when they can be taunted with
the fact that they voted for Mr.
Tillman and if they really did not
endorse his utterances they ought to
have slioMn their opposition at the
polls ? These are serious questions
and well deserve the serious reflec
tion of every good citizen, for it has
certainly gone beyond the question
of party and assumed one that must
be settled by conscience.
Mr. Tillman has seen fit to desig
nate Judge Haskell and bis sup
porters as rotton and corrupt, bnt
they wont complain of this as it is
bnt natural that he should judge the
purity of other people’s motives by
his own and it would be unreasona
ble to expect him to credit another
with the possession of something to
n'hich he is an entire stranger. To
M-hat a pass have wo come when our
honored Senators ask us to vote for
a man that they confess is a dema
gogue and slanderer, and even the
Nea-s and Courier, that is regarded
by the outside M orld as the exponent
of public opinion in South Carolina,
after being smitten on one cheek
must uceds meekly turn the other
and ask Mr. Tillman to smite that
also. It is well to remember that it
is not the nation that declares n-ar
that is responsible for the conflict,
but the one that makes the declara
tion necessary; and as Mr. Tillman,
to gratify his personal ends, has tried
to bring reproach upon our State,
we have accepted the gage of battle
and will struggle to the end for the
purity and integrity of the Demo
cratic party. Even if Mr. Tillman
is elected he need not lay the flatter
ing unction to his soul that he has
broken the opposition. Under their
chivalrous leader, Alexander C.
Haskell, they Mill stand undismayed
and unshaken, immovable as the rock
of Gibralter, and as devoted to duty
as the Roman sentinel who perished
Amid the mins of Pompeii. They
will continue the fight and never lay
doMn their arms until they have
driven Mr. Tillman into retirement
and until there are none so poor as
to do him reverence. Compare the
two men, and see the contrast: Till
man, the demagogue and slanderer,
breathing words of venom and hate;
Haskell, the patriot and Christian,
pleading for peace and justice. The
knightly soul of A. C. Haskell soars
far above the foul and mnrky atmos
phere in M'hich Tillman grovels, and
when the present generation shall
have passed away, when the dark
clouds of discord and strife that now
overshadow our horison shall be dis
persed by the sunlight of truth, then
the name of Haskell M ill be remem-
liered with reverence and honor,
while that of Tillman can only be re-
ralled with the blnsh of shame.
