f: -' ' i ? > V ' :s t iTM RECENT CHANGES HAVE HELPED HIS CHANCES. Political Events of the Past Week Reviewed?Effect of the Prohi bition Movement. Columbia, S. C., March 26.? Thoplianffp* nn the nolitical hor iz on might be well compared to kaleidoscopic pictures. The ever jf v . chainginsr view presented grows more interesting as the light and j shadows come and go and the various elements of the picture con stanflv rearrange themselves in groups, now beautiful in theirsym! inetrv, now grotesque in their an-;1 gulsritv. Two .weeks ago with a possible coalescence ot prohibition and local option forces in prospect, it seemed that the result of the summer's campaign was settled, now Jo! a change. Possibly in the pride of power, possibly instigated .'-..nnUfl l-nnUTl nil? I Dy some ouier auijju>oc .. u.. )y to fanaticism the prohibitionists have shown, themselves stiffnecked in this matter, and their chanches of success have dwin died to a shadow. In the unchaste but forceful language of Hogan's , alley "they have dropped their candy.'* Prohibitionists have always | been regarded by conservative politicians as impractical dreamer* but few politicians were prepared for such an exhibition of a lack ot , insight into practical politics as has been exhibited within the past two weeks. Not only have they refused to augment their strength bv concession to a large faction of the Democratic party, but the un reserved opinioned has been expressed that the fight should not be confined within the limits of the Democratic party This is largely in view of the fact brought to their - notice that the constitution of the I Democratic party provides that be fore any candidate shall be entitled to vote at the primary he shall have filed his pledge "That he is not, nor will he become, the candidate of any faction either privately or publicly suggested, other than the regular Democratic party." This clause was adopted by the convention of the Democratic par ty in 1894, and was intended to forever prevent factional grabs as opposed to the1 insitution ot' free vote and a fair count. In spite of all this and the opin ions of many wise politicians, there are not a few who believe that the prohibition voU? will be a surprise. As a matter of fact, a study of the field shows that the people are desirous for a change. They are dissatisfied, but their views are chaotic, and they want a campaign They want to see the candidates, { { ^ and they do not any more political hacks. If the election were to be held without a canvass just, now, in the absence to startling developments, it is the confident belie! ol this correspondent that ti;e people would give Governor Ellerbe another term. They will give him another term anyhow, unless there is a strong and vigorous lighter on the stump,a man with a clear record, who has not been "defiled with politics," r.or even identified, to any extent,! with old factional issues. It is un derstood that Senator Tillman has at last about settled upon Ellerbe as the most likely standard bearer of the faction of which he is the Abraham, the Isaac and the Jacob How this may be a week from now nobody can say, but at presant there is every reason to believe that what is said above is true. The "understanding" between Ellerbe and James Norton, who was Ions considered as opposed in polities, has greatly strengthened Ellerbe's position. If he can maintain himself on the stump he may be considered a winner, but the governor is not a strong man in any sense of the word, and it is f " j i \ . \ ' r - ' r * ' ' v-v .. \ . a* ''v- <* * fr k * -v,' i . . ' 4 considered a foregone conclusion that he will go to pieces complete Iv under fire. lie has made many j enemies and few friends, his policy looks to a man up a tree, a ser- j ies of blunders, but then for a politican to see these things himself j and to make the people see them through his glasses is two different things. So after all we come back to origaiutl proposition tiiatthe stump will settle it, ar.d the governor may, alter all, lined it more easier j to marshall his forces under the! guns of Spain than to rally his friends under lire in the poli tical arena. Some time ago it was intimated, and at that time seemed very likely,that thePatriarch ol Politica1 Di ssention would lend his strong right arm to R. B. Watson Now 'his seems a remote possibility. There are two reasons against this one, Col. Watson's opposition to state aid for higher education, in which Mr. Tillman's toes were step ped 011 in the Ciemson college matter, and, second, that Col. Watson has Telt the sting of thai ingratitude, that is sharper than the serpent's tooth, and which is one of the Pitchfork*? n ost conspicuous characteristics. In the next few weeks it is not impossible that George D. Tillman ma loom up in a moreconspiciiu u figure on the horizon, at present his sun is not In the ascendancy to any notieauie decree, yei wnn local option and a clean fight he may become a powerful factor. It depends on the backing he gets and the men who trust their fate as candidates for lower pos itions on the ticket to his platlorm. Ex-Solicitor Schtunpert has develope i no strength, and the opinion is that he has more con tidence in his own ability than any body has in him, but if lie should I acreeablv surprise his friends in j this panielar, he stands as good a chance as anybody else. In tact, the people are looking for the advent of a well knit and cleanly groomed dark hor e. Senator Archer's sun seems to be still on the decadence, but there is always a moining after a night if the world does not come to an j end in me meantime. It is stated on good authority and vouched for that Senator Tillman will take the stump this summer and try to rally the broken battalions of his erstwhile faithful The slogan will be the dispensary and incidentally he will urge whatever candidate seemeth to him most likely to do his bidding and be a winner, but the doughty statesman hates a losing fight, and has no use for a fallen hero. In popular gossip, no subject, not even politics has so much interest as the probable war with Spain. It is the topic of conversation everywhere. The best ther mometer that we have to guage the war feeling is the slock mar5 ? . 1 I ruuy^ |i !
