RECENT CHANGES HAVE HELPED

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

)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

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
