Wednesday, March 2, 1892. None of our free coinage con- temporaries seem t" t>e in a Imrrv io join issue with us in regard to this proposition to enrich the Silver Kings at theexpenseof the jx-ople- If it is a good thing for the country, will somebody please show in wl at way we will reap the benefit of it. Platforms seem the order of the day, and so we give onr readers the declaration of principles of the 'l bird Party, recently adopted in St. I-onis. Quite a number of prominent alliance- men, Hen Terrell being one of them, were present, and endorsed the platform. Of course the Sub-Treas- urv, free coinage, and (! oven mien t control of railroads and telegraph lines were inserted. We trust that it will have no following in South Carolina. In answer to a direct question, by a subscriber, we have no hesitation in saying that we sustain (iov. I ill- man in his refusal to accept worth less scrip inpayment for the Agri cultural Hall. He was probably wrong in his method of holding it. but the act itself was right. The scrip tendered in payment had been pronounced worthless by the Courts, and to have accepted it would have put him in an awkward predicament We very much regret that we have been unable to obtain a synopsis of Col. I )(jrgau’s speech at Lamar, but it was represented to be a conserva tive and temperate one, although the State officials were severely criticised for some of their acts. The editor of the Freeman is a very tluent and graceful speaker, and even in bis ad vocacy of such measures as the sub- treasury and free coinage, is head and shoulders above I >r. Stokes \\ e have ever been at a loss to understand the intense admiration that Col. Dargan profe ses for a man that is very ob viously his mental inferior, 'Flic Freeman advocates the same visiona ry theories that the Cotton Plant does, but with vastly more ability and faiTTTcss. before there will be another demo crat in the White House. The differ ence lietween the two men is that one is a politician and the other a states man. Cleveland is unquestionably the choice of a very large majority of the party, and would do, in case of his election, niore to perpetuate it tliaii auv other man in the country. The Town Council have passed stringent regulations in regard to putting up buildings within the lire limits, and all phmsand specification.' must he submitted to the council be fore the building is erected- This is exactly right, as a brick building can, by ignorance, or rascality on the part of a contractor, be made a fire some anxious thought and I have arrived at the conclusion that the difference between the Democrat ■ of this State should he settled in a “pri mary election" for State officers, conducted that every Democrat would feel that he would have equal and exact justice at the polls and that his vote would he fairly count ed.

Tillman, and nothing shows the intensity of politi cal prejudice more than this. We are satisfied that some of our con temporaries have gone too far in their -criticisms, and the effect of such harshness will be to his help instead of injury. On the otl er hand the inordinate praise of such papers as the Abbeville Medium would disgust any man blessed with a decent amount of common sense, and it is very probable that, were it in his power, he would prefer shutting down on the Medium, and all other papers of the same character The editor of the Medium has s : mply shut his eyes and made up his mind to praise everything the Governor does, whether good or bad. We copy from the News and Cou rier two articles, on the political situation, which we are sure will meet the approbation of nearly every con servative man in the State. One is written by Col. J. H. Earle and the other by one of onr own citizens, Col. Mcfver, and nothing that either of them have ever done reflects more Credit upon their patriotism, than the temjierate and conservative words with which they express their views. Even those who dill :r with them, as regards the best method to pursue in order to restore harmony to the party, must admit the unselfishness and sincerity with which they are ani mated. South Carolina has not, within her borders, two more devoted or patriotic sons than Col’s Earle and Mclver, and they are evidently willing to make any sacrifice, save that of principle, to restore peace and li irinjiiv. ciple.

So far as we have observed the York Enterprise is about the only paper in the State that comes out squarely in favor of Senator Hill as the nominee of the Democratic party for President- We are candid enough to say that for once, at least, the brilliant editor of our eontenqiorary is wrong, and that the nomination of Hill would be one of the greatest misfortunes that could liefall the party. We very much fear that Cleveland, as the trickery of Hill has captured New York, cannot secure the nomination, but in this event a much better man than his rival can be found. Mr. Hill belongs to a class of politicians that the party can well spare, and if he is nominated aud elected, it will be many year# A General Primary Recommended as the Best Method of Se- mring Harmony.
