r^ v^H| ? 'flHH I BE INTERESTING DEVEI^H MENTS PROMISED. ^ Hi Attempt Being Made to Unite the Prohibitionists and Local Option Men. ^^ Colurabia, March 5.?The most pWsnificant move on the political cRessboani during the past week has been the call lor a prohibition convention. This fight will be pushed with the zeal that is ever characteristic of the "Crusades,'1 but altogether within the lines of the Democratic party, across which line four white men in South Carolina have the temerty to step. The strength of the prohibition party is now an unknown factor, but thore are many men who contend that this faction is very much stronger than it is popularly supposed to be. This sentiment is entertained by many of the pro hibitionists who have joined in the movement towards an organization for the purpose of put ting out a complete State ticket. As a matter of fact, many of the old time prohibitionists, especially in the rural districts, where the pro i.-l:.;..;.,. i 1 f 1 i U niomonisis nave ji w<t\ s muuu men strength, have bedded themselves so intimately with the di. pensary party that this Gaberiei's trumpet j will not rouse them fiom their dreams. Id ordefr^to compensate for this loss of strengVh,U is urged by some of the leaders'*? torm a coalescence with the local opti<?^ists, their rival cousins, and thusfj draw the line sharply between dispensary and anti dispensary, and once having overthrown their common enemy and baring the bone of contention again between them, to fight out their old quar rel on new lines. It is argued that antagonism to tbe State control of liqnor will make as strong a bond of union as could be desired and A will lead to political affiliations ^-that under other circumstances would be impossible. The natural leader of the prohibitions-is is Mr. Childs. It is believed thai tie could recaii more oi the wandering sheep to the house <f Javid than any man in the state but he would not prove a drawing : card for the lacal option men, and while concession i* not a charact eristic of the advocates of prohibition, is is urged that the ex'gen cics 01 the case must make amends for what might be regarded under ordinary circumstances as sops to cert bus or treaties with the devil, it the local optionists are to become allies of the prohibitionists, the old VMMAlt.Al iVI??A A nrl I A Kr A Wlll^l Kli pi I lil t pa i vi auu inixc iijuch ur employed. In view of these facts, there are many of the leaders who urge a joint ticket and who are I'at^g treaties with the local men, and it is not improblat the convention called for pril 14th will have a ring ed and striped complexion old time cold water army e contents of the canteen tve a spicy stick in it that > a new flavor and probably disagreeable one to the palF the uncompromising, dor Mayfield has been again iched in the matter of leading these combined forces, as being the most acceptable man to both; sides. He toid the gentleman who> discussed the matter with him' that he fully agreed with them ' that prohibition in itself could not win. but be thought the combinu- j I tion could very likely carry the! State, but as for his running, he ; could not at present see his way ! clearly to accepting the honor ot the leadership, which would mean the sacrifice of his individual bus iness just now growing to comfor j ^.table proportions and for its pre | servation needing his exclsiveatten , tion. needing his exclusive attention. The man, he argues, who enters public life should be in a position to protect himself against the great danger of becoming a public pensioner, which is the fate of so ttiany publicoffieers.

J A McCullough, o! j (ireenvil!-?, is prominently menjtioned. He is also spoken of as a second to the combination ticket i if Mr. Mavfield can be induced to ; lead it. i In regard to the other factions i in the fight, there are many whisj pers of fancy tinged with more or ! less fact, a recounting of even all ; ihe most interesting would com J some too much of your space, i Briefly told, the position now is that the support ot the old Reformers has been drawn away trom Senotor Archer, who seems to have reached the zenith of hi?popularity about the time he made his formal announcement of candidacy. Then he appeared the strongest man in the fieM, but I he seems to have lost ground steadlv ever since. He came out of the woods too soon and a getting into daylight h? could not meas ure up all wool and a yard wide, the filling began to dron out and I ? he began to bp considered as a weak imitation of Hen Tillman, and there were some hints of the old fable of the lion's skin being I revamped. This support is now believed to be making towards Col S B Watson; yet there are some indications ot the mantle falling on the shoulders of the lion. Dan ^^npkins, who is said to stand r^Pb^the throne of the king whose sceptre is a pitchkork than any other mau in the State, and it might be that in him we will behold the promised Moses, who was referred to when it was said fy so - - ? A ! many, "ine winning man oas not yet been named/' It is a siguifieat fact that this support does not dfrift towards Ellerbe, and there is now no indic.i tion of its ever doing so, yet it is said that he could readily be adopt ed into the political orphan asylum, if there was any chance of his matting a running fight, but there is not, and his friends who were jonce among the trusted guard of the ark of 11 e covenant, areopei. y threatening the Knight of the Pitchfork with afatesuch as overtook h!m in the Earle Evan* cite tion if lie does not keep his uose or his pitchfork out of other people's business.

Hiiriiiri uicsc votes were a protest against rim: rule or an acqiescenoe in the general management of the "bosses*' bv the bos.sed. It is these 50,000 that make the ring rather cautious of the adoption of Ellerbe. It is also positively stated that in spite of his declaration, in spite of the firm faith of the political leaders, that George D Tillman will not be a candidate. It is very improbable that he could be induced to keep hou>e with the prohibitionists on the coalescense ticket, tie is even more uncomplimentary than bis brother and as strong or stronger in his prejudices.
