Party .ticket, hoid» hi» ho i, and^ill after guch *n aot or conscieuoe. Wednesday, October, 26, 1892. The Democratic electors have all tiled their pledges to vote for Cleve land. This of course includes Dr. Stokes. * * * Mr. Bowden’s proclamation is a gross insult to every member of the Alliance who voted in the Primary, in that it tempts them to dishonor. * * * If you want to see the Republicans regain control of the State, and think that this will add to the peace and security of our people, by all means vote for Weaver and Field, and you will have the satsifaction of know ing that your vote will help to bring about this condition of affaire. * * * The Third Party declaration of principles, in this State, might be more appropriately termed a declara tion of a lack of principle, for this is exactly what it is, for a more out rageous piece of political diohonor has never lieen attempted. * * * Gov. Tilman has shown a very forgiving spirit in his appointment of Col. J. J. Dargan as a delegate to the National Farmers Convention. Col. Dargan has criticized him more than any other editor in the State, and his appointment, undei those cir cumstances, was a surprise. * * * The Herald returns its grateful acknowledgement to those papers who have kindly copied its articles in re gard to carrying concealed weapons and against the numerous murders that are such a disgrace to our State. Every paper in the State should join in the crusade. * * * When Mr. Bow den says that there is fio difference in the principles of the Democratic and liepublicun parties, he makes a statement that he knows is absolutely false. * * . * We have, on a good many occa- sions, spoken in no very complinivn tary terms of theColnmbia Register, but with all its faults it has not stultified itself 1 v going over to the Third Party. Op the contrary it scores Mr. Bowden pretty roundly foi what he is doing. * * * The man who votes the Third Party ticket not only throws away his vote, but gives aid and encourage ment to the Republican Party, and thereby announces himself as favor ing the Force Bill, Protection And all the other vicious legislation of this most vicious Party. * * * As Mr. Bowden seems to know so much more aboubthe financial affairs of the country than the Secretary of the Treasury, that official should give up his place to him, * * Mrs. Iiease, the female politician, after gaining all the notoriety she wanted, by espousing the cause of the Third Party, has added dishonor to the notoriety by deserting that party and going over to Harrison. This too after abusing the Republi cans in the most unmeasured terms. * * * Any ipau who subscribe for the Cotton Plant, under its present man agement, endorses Mr. Bowden’; po litical trickery, and virtually says that he has no regard for his promis es. * * * Let every man, who thinks it a good thing to have the followers of the Republican Party managing our railroads and telegraph lines, and wants to be taxed for their pare base, vote for the Third Party ticket and lie will be doing something in this direction. * * * • No civilized form of government can exist unless the large majority of its people are actuated by high principle, in every department of life, end to this well established fact there can be no exception; and hones!y in politics is as necessary as it is in any thing else. Deplorable as it would be, it were better for- the State, if it were fairly done, to be carried by the Republicans than by tin Third Party, for the one v\ onld b@ only a great misfortune, win IV v he other would be a dishonor that could never bo wiped out 1 * * * Mr. Bowden does not believe in sentiment in politics, but dishonesty in politics finds in him an unblush ing chapipion. He seems to know what the former has cost the coun try, but is silent as to the cost of the latter. , . . _ % . as *. j# ' v ' ■ f * WL. far sS wte have observed M¥. Bowden has the support of only one paper.in the State, and that is the one he edits himself. If his Third Party had any following worth the name some of the time serving papers might give it a little encourage ment. - * * * We have no idea as the capacity that Mr. McLaurin may develop ns a Congressman, bu*' there is one way in which he may make himself indis- }leasable to our National Legislature, and that is to opeu a shooting gallery for the instruction of his brother Congressman in the use of a weapqji with which he is so familiar. In these days of communism and labor strikes it would certainly be a wise precaution for the members of Con gress to hnow how to protect them selves and if this be admitted, then who is so competent to instruct them as Mr. McLaurin. A body of over three hundred men. armed with the latest improved pistols, under the lead of the Congressman from the 6th South Carolina District could easily hold the Cap’tol until the mili tary could march to their rescue. We hope that onr suggestion will meet with general approval. * * * The stockholders and directors of the Cotton Plant claim to be work ing for tde Democratic ticket, and if this be true, then they have been guilty of a great piece of inconsist ency in leasing the paper to a man whose avowed object is to defeat the Democratic party. National. If they had sold the paper outright, it would have been different, but as the case stands their action is open to criticism, and' it will be impossible for them to explain it away. They have pledged themselves to support Cleveland, mid yet they give the The judiciary has become the bul wark of this formidable and growing power, which, unless cheeked, will be the Restr iction of the Democratic principle in government. Thomas Carlyle said many years ago that we would have our period of trial “when health is intact, crops abundant ai d the magnificent land open. Then so-called statesmen will cry ‘over-pi eduction;’ and then the man of the ballot, the self-reliant; will go to the ballot-box, amidst hunger and destitution, (that sur rounded by the glitter of selfrule,) and ratify b his ballot the monstrous falsehoods i'ltored by mis-statesmen, . „ ■ ,. , . i-nl following in South Carolina. and vmdiCii e by the same ballot the , . -- • • those who voted at the Primary nrrupt boro. Seventh District—B. Merkelpv In (rder that no injustice may be dono to the Third Party adherents,, we publish their declaration of prin ciples in full, and hope that every voter in the State will give it a care ful perusal, feeling assured that when they do so, its fallacy, absurdi ty and dishonesty will be so manifest that any man can see how utterly impracticable and false the whole declaration is. The utter fallacy and absurdity of these demands have been so often demonstrated that it seems scarcely necessary to go over them again, especially when it has been found impossible, with two ex ceptions, and they very soon with drew from the fight, to get a single paper in the State to discuss these demands, which some of them pro fess so ardently to believe in. The article is presumed to come from the pen of Mr. Bowden, the Third Party leader, in this State, and if he is an intelligent man, he has published a political tirade that teems with false statements, and has done so with full knowledge of what he was writing. In addition to this he de liberately pleads with the people to commit political perjury, and by their votes stamp themselves with the seal of infamy and dishonor. If Mr. Bowden refrained from voting at the Primary in order that he might be free to act and vote as he pleased, will he please explain the necessity of doing so if those who did vote are not bound by the result of that elec tion? Does Mr. Bowden have one rule for himself and another for the balance of the voters of the State? It is impossible to -escape the con viction that he is perfectly aware of the dishonorable methods that he is story beneath the title, “A Case nn- the Black Act.” Mary Angela Dick ens, daughter of Charles Dickens, be- nrina a aorml Si VIrrur Donat, nnn. tributes an illustrated story, and the School of Fiction, and usual depart ments, poems, etc., prove the Arthur more than deserving of having attain ed Us 40th year.

Then autocratic kiugs granted monopolies to their favoi itias, it taxed their des potic authority to the utmost to de fend them against the competition of surreptitious craders; while underour new comm ireial regime mighty monopolies are created that not only crush all rivalry with ease, but domi nate the Government when their selfish interests are concerned. The curse of our land is partisan politics. It is time for us to vote for our best interests. The wily politician, by playing upon sectional and race prejudice, keeps the solid North and the solid South. Fvery year in Congress the battles of the war are fought over and over, while issues of the utmost importance to the welfare of our people are over looked or lightly dealt with. We cannot long remain indifferent to the conditions that confront us. The volume of money has been con tracted until business is paralyzed and the price of the products of labor has been reduced below the cost of production. The conspiracy of foreign capital ists to control American labor by controlling the volume of money has been successful. Corporations, wield ing the power of aggregated capital, control the Government and so di rect our finances that all save a bare existence is denied the producers of all wealth. Both Democratic and Republican parties, nationally, are controlled by the same influence. —All kinds of— Mnrlile AAonfrinoiltS, Tablets, and * & Grave Stonr-, Fine Job Printing done at this office. furnishetLon siiort notice, iml as chsap as can be purchased elscwi rc.

Refoi m- Carolina exchanges keep up a cease- ers of South Carolina, will we ratify less warfare on the Third I’arty, and J by onr ballots a system that we know they are merciless in their exposure of the record of the leaders of that parly in the State. They have pur sued them with remorseless steadfast ness, and have kept them under such a terrible fire, that a good many have given up the fight, and are glad to retire to private life. The Wades- boro Messenger and Intelligencer pretty clearly proves, from the con fessions of several men who were de ceived as to its object, that the infa mous political organization known as “Gideon’s Band” had its origin N. C., and from there was carried to other States in the South. In an other column we publish the con-* fession of one of the men who was induced to join, and it seems incredi ble that such an oath bound society, and one whose aims were so vicious, could possibly find adherents among the native born citizens of onr Coun try. The men who organize societies of this character are not ignorant, but simply vicious, and are utterly reckless of consequences so they reap the fruit of their infamy, and by this means secure positions for which they are utterly unfit, and who would have a more deserved aliode within the walls of a penitentiary than in the halls of legislation. After the election, the necessity, which has heretofore existed, of de lating so much space to politics, will, to a great extent, cease, and we will have more space for the discussion of social problems, and other topics that have a permanent interest. Of course there arc some political ques tions, of a general character, which the election will not definitely settle, which we will notice from time to time, but politics will not, as has been the case for some time, take up most of our editorial space. There are some questions, of so serious and far reaching a nature, that we can not afford to ignore them or be blind to the magnitude of the e.il that would be wrought, if they could be made intq laws; and no newspaper, unless reci'eant to itself and the pub lic, cau allow them to be advocated without pointing out how subversive they are of the very principles upon which our Government rests. These pernicious teachings, if allowed to pass without challenge, will very- soon be a serious menace both to thc Government and to the peace and welfare of society. They must be met and their danger pointed out, and to do this will require ceaseless vigilance on the part .if ail good citi zens, and the untiring work of a fear less and independent press. THE THIRD PARTY MANIFESTO. To the Voters of South Carolina: The closing years of the nineteenth century seem destined to be the most fateful of our country’s history; we might say of the world, for the lowly and oppressed in every laud have | Barnwell, their eye fixed on America as the bat- j Third District- tie-ground where the last great fight j’Sckens. to be wrong and that is bringing ruin upon our country and serfdom upon us and onr children? Let us file onr protest in ti e sacred form of a free man’s ballot. Our demu nds have been either ig nored or shi melessly trifled with by both parties The fate of the silver a ble man. bill in a De’noeratio Honse is the last act of treachery. The duy < for sentimental politics has passed. * Sentimental politics has cost this country rivers of blood and billions of treasure. The sentimen tal -politician is a fraud, a snare and a delusion. Practical politics and common sense is the need of the hour. Why should we vote for Grover Cleveland for a mere sentiment? Our State Convention in May declared that the nomination of Grover Cleve land would oe “a prostitution of the principles of Democracy, a repudia tion of the demands of the Alliance, and a surrender of the rights of the people to the financial kings of the country.” tie is not the choice of our people. Is the party lash to be again cracked to force us into line? Is it it sentimental or practical poli tics th<it is to govern? Will we vote for a man w hose policy is totally op posed to our best interests? Grover Cleveland represents Wall street and monopolistic power. Weaver end Field represent the farmer and 1 he laborer. 'The princi ples involved are the same that our people have endorsed in State politics, and their support is the logical result of the decision of the people of Sooth Carolina as expressed in the May Convention. We shall abide the verdict of the people as expressed in the recent pri mary upon State issues and Congres sional candidates, and will give the nominees onr cordial support, but we are in no manner bound by that action to violate our obligation to only support men who are in favor of our demands. Citizens, carmere, laborers, breth ren—ye who live by the sweat of honest toil—think well, cast your ballots, freighted with the destinies of generatii ns yet unborn, for the man of your choice. Let the politi cians and the plutocratic press rave, but carefully cousider the question and vote fi r the ticket which best represents your interests. This is due to your God, your country, your children. Be not discouraged by the apparent defeat of the People’s cause in recent elections, a^ it is well known that our political enemies having the elec tion tnachii cry in their hands, en couraged thi vilest corruption at the ballot-box to defeat the principles ve advocate-. The cause that we maintain lives in the hearts of the toiling milli nis, and when we force from our ad versaries a free ballot and pursuing, and this being the case he deserves no consideration at the hands of public. Even the Colum bia Register condemns ids course, aud he will find that he has a very small If! are not bound to support Cleveland, then they aic perfectly free to vote against Tillman, and the Primary was sim ply a farcr. Mr. Bowden is not bound himself, but in trying to in duce others to violate their pledges, he is simply doing a dishonorable act and no amount of explanation can make it otherwise. Neither him self or his paper should receive auy aid or countenance from any honor- a fair count victory will perch upon the banner of “equal rights to all aud special privileges to none. THE WEAVER ELECTORS. In support of Weaver and Field for President and Vice President we submit the following ticket of elec tors: Delegates at lairge -Jos L. Kcitt, Newberry; J. W.

The story of the world’s history, is, after all, the most interesting aud most instructive story which has ever been told. It was probably neve bet ter presented, for general reading and reference, than in Aldeii’s Cyclope dia of History, recently published. Every nation of the earth, ancient and modern is treated in its alpha betical order, excepting, only, the United States, which is to form a seperate work. You have ancient history as far back us B. C. 5004 and modem history down to A. D. 1892. All countries are described in their physical aspects, as well as historical ly, so you have the equivalent of # book of travels around the world. There are many illustrations, none for mere ornament, but all helpful for* instruction. Considering the magnitude of the work, its small cost is astonishing. The entire history comprises about 800,000 words— equivalent, you will find by compar ison, to about 10 volumes of ordinary size—and yet is issued in two handy volumes, in small but clear type, well aud handsomely made, and sold in cloth binding for only $1.25 for the set, plus 20 cents for postage, if by mail. For 10 cents the publisher sends post-paid a paper-bound vol ume of 190 pages, containing the complete history of several nations, by which you can judge of the char acter of the entire work. Every home ought to have a good Univer sal History; this is probably the best for general use. The publisher’s catalogue of choice books, over 100 pages, a rich feast for book lovers, is sent post-paid for 2 cents. John B. Alden, Publisher, 57 Rose Si., New York. BOOK, - BOOKS.
