STTMT3SB IN "THE PICTURE.'
P
Bs
To have a place in the picture at the
military encampment to be held at
Greenville next month is the height of
^ . everybody's ambition just about now.
It will be a most gorgeous affair and
the most extensive preparations are now
fceing. mad? to make it one of the
"grandest and most, memorable events
that bas ever taken place in the annals
of the history of the Old Palmetto
Stale. . : ? H
The. Sumter Light Iofauty are suppl?
ing up for the occasion and eighteen of
', ?he best drSied men are in hopes of bold
lug their own when the time comes for
, tho' competitive drill between tue dif?
ferent eompabies during encampment
vt eek.
Sta
r: ? Nearly all, if not all, of the com?
panies that compose Col. D. J. Auld's
regiment will be at the encampment,
and our affahle-and popular colonel will
bs one of the grand moguls of the oc?
casion and will occupy a big place fm
the picture.'
THE CITADEL COMMENCE?
MENT.
The opening exercises of the Citadel
Commencement will begin next Sunday
moraing with tee Baccalaureate sermon
by the Be v. C. C. Picekney, I) D., at
G?ace Church. The review of the
corps of Cadets, ard declamation by
members of third and fourth classes on
Monday, dress parade pf the corps of
Cadets and anniversary exercises of the
literary societies on Tuesday, com?
mencement day exercises, address to
the graduating class by Rev. S. B.
Jones, D.D., and commencement ad?
dress by Hon. ^^rfjj^Dibble oa
Wednesday, is di?%r?gral?me for com?
mencement week. ; ,
. The Academy ts doing good work tn
the advancement of education, and is
unquestionably contributing her share
towarrd laying the foundation for tbe
futere success and glory of South Caro?
lina. If 'Farmer. Tillman' and others
who are bitterly opposed to the mainte?
nance of the Citadel would only attend
the commencement exercises of the
same next week, they would surely
nave ample opportunity to change their
opinion as to the character of training to
be had at this institution and that it
was something more than a "Dude Fac?
tory*' pare and simple.
TO LET.
Nobody wants to go to the Legisla?
ture from Sumter County this time,
jj Tue honors of this c:?ee are now TO
LET- The time was when there was I
quite a scramble for the position, but j
an immense change bas come over 'Our
young hopefuls and old ones too,' and
the office .actually going begging.
The country Democracy used to furn?
ish some excellent men for the Legis- j
l?ture. It used tc stand 3 to 1. The j
delegation was composed of three from
the country and one from the town, but j
somehow or other there is a chance of j
sentiments on this poi at of ratio rep- I
resentati?n now. If this tendency
keeps on growing stronger with the j
people, the town of Suaver will be com- !
pellet: to press into service all four that j
will compose the Sumter delegation 1
hereafter, which resell; we will mest j
deeply deplore.
THE^^?BLIC?N~f?CK:ET. j
Harrison and Moiton are tho men the i
republicans have pitted against Cleve- !
land and Thcrman. They are honor- ?
able men, and consequently there will j
be nothing personal in the national \
canvass on cither side, it wiil bo a i
question of principies entirely for the j
people to decide when they cone to cast j
their ballots for President and Vice ;
President ia November nest. The ;
position of thc two parties is clearly and ;
plainly defined on the question of t&xa- j
lion, and thc fight will be made on that j
line, and thc country will know exactty j
how the people stand cn this great issue j
then.
Harrison is a protectionist to the ?
backbone and is thoroughly in accord j
with the spirit of his party, asd it: this )
respect, if in nothing else, he is a man !
after their own heart. Ditto for Mr. j
Morton, their candidate for Vice-Prest- ?
dent. _!
A COLORED MAN'S OPINION.
The most intelligent colored man ;
that ever lived in Sumter County was ;
T. McCants Stewart. He is now prac- ;
ticing law in New York city. A rep- j
resentativc of the Herald interviewed j
him the other day on the subject of thc j
political tendency of his race; j
'Most decidedly to. No class nf the j
voting population of this great country ?
is mere interested in our national prog- ;
res? than the co.ored men.*
Such was the reply of ?Jr. T. ?ie- j
Cants Stewart, a prominent colored j
lawyer of this city and a recognized j
leader among his race, when asked if j
the ?olored voters were prepared to take !
an active part in the approaching Pres- j
idential canvass. ]
*?Iow do they stand between the j
Democratic and Republican parties?' j
was thc nest question.
*The majority of the colored people j
throughout the United States are unde?
niably Republican." replied Mr. Stew?
art, 'and when I say that I have in
mind that the bulk of the colored popu
latiou lies in toe South. In the North- \
eru-or perhaps I ought to say the !
i??bUTjy ?ud Western-States the col- ?
ored vote is certainly and uumistaki
divided. The largest part will g
the Southern States with the Repu
can party, principally through h
and former associations. A part of
colored vote in i he Eastern and W
ern States will go to the Prohib?
ticket, but a very large part wil
found in" the ranks of the Democr
party on account of the very excel
effect upon the colored men of the *
and liberal administration and polio
President Cleveland.
'Mr Cleveland has certainly aoc<
plished one thing. He has emai
pated the colored man, politically spe
ing. His administration has beer
political emancipation, as Presid
Lincoln's proclamation was a phys
emancipation.' .
'So you say, deliberately, that
colored men ia the Easteru and W<
ern States are leaving the Republi;
party for the Democratic party Y
*I do. This movement ha3 been
servable among our people during
past lour years, and it- is clear and i
mistakable, as the result will show
dae time. We arc being forgotten a
ignored by the one and find oursel
respected and welcomed by the other
Ex-Judge Cothran goes back to C<
gresa without opposition. This is 1
best proof o? the high esteem in whi
he is held by an appreciative oonstii
ency. Judge Cothran is a big-brain
broad-guage statesman, and an upri<?
Christian gentleman, and the impn
of bis moral character will have
wholesome iufiuence in Congress.
These red hot days are playing t
mischief with things generally, "i
sorts of advice is being offered for t
comfort of suffering humanity. Chur
going people are scratching their hea
and thinking of tbe best plans to ke
i cool. Yes, to keep cool. How to
it is the question. Send your remedi
j on the first train and deliver them ?
O. D. The atmosphere is sizzling h
j and the heating process has taken <
'an extra head of steam and delay in th
? matter is dangerous. The suggestii
to 'take off your flesh and sit in yo;
bones' will hardly do for the reast
, that some of us have little fiesh at
less bones and consequently the;
would be nothing left of us if that a<
; vice were acted upon.
Congressmen Tillman of the Seeon
and Dargan of- the Sixth Di
trict, have the biggest sort of oj
position io their respective district:
and the glorious uncertainties of politic
now appear ghost-like in their night]
dreams, and before dog days are OV?
some of the candidates for Congression;
honors in these districts will be gent!
laid away to res:. Both of the congres:
men nam id are able men, and have dec
their constituents good .service, an
their experience puts them in positio
to do more than any new men will like
ly be able to do for some time. Th
remark of an exchange as to one c
these gentlemen will app]y to other
that the principal objection to him i
that some one else wants his place.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVEN
TION.
Harrison and Morton the Can
dictates.
The National Republican Conven?
tion wbich met in Chicago on the 19th.
unished its work on last Monday the
25th by nominating General Benjamin
Harrison, of Indiana, the grandson ol
the ninth President of the United States*
as candidate for President, and Jjevi P.
Morton of Xew York for Vice Presi?
dent.
The Convention was organized with
M. M. Estee of .n..ofcrnia Permanent
Chairman. Three ballots were taken OD
Friday, without reeult in which Sher?
man led, with Gresham, Alger, Harri?
son, Depew, Allison, Biaine and others
following. On the fourth and fifth bal?
lots taken Saturday Sherman wa3 still
in the lead, with Harrison close at his
heels. The convention then adjourned
till .Monday.
? On the eighth baiiot Harrison receiv?
ed thc aosiia&tion fur President, and
on the next ballot Morton was nomina
tcd for Vice President
The proceedings of the Convention
during the six days' SG?=ion, were en?
livened with numerous scenes, and in
the committee rooms and at the hotels
several fisticuffs are reported to have
taken place. Tue disorder in the Con?
vention wa.s compared to a cyclone by a
member who was trying to make him?
self heard, and the Convention alto?
gether is put down as a disgraceful
a ?iair,

ministration and Democratic majo-rUy j

suppression of the bailor, hy criminal ?
nullification of the constitution and laws j
of the United States.
We are uncompromisingly in favor I
of the American system of protection. |
We protest against its destruction as
proposed by the president and his par
ty. They serve the interests of Eu- ?
rope . we will support the interests of I
America. Wo accept thc* isbuc an i 1
confidently appeal to the people for their
judgment. The protective system must
be maintained. Its abandona?ent has
always been followed by grave disaster
to ail interests except those of the
usurer and sheriff. We denounce the
Mills bill as destructive to general busi?
ness, labor and farming interests of the
country, and we heartily endorse the
consistent and patriotic action of Re?
publican representatives in Congress io
opposition to its passage.
The gratitude of the nation to the
defenders of the Union cannot be
i measured by laws. Legislation of Con?
gress should conform to the pledge
! made by a loyal people, and be so en?
larged and extended as to provide
I against the possibility, that any man
who honorably wore thc Federal uniform,
shall become an inmate of an almshouse
or dependent upon private charity. In
I the presence of an overflowing treasury
it would be a public scandal to do le6s
i for those whose valorous services pre?
served tho Government. We denounce
the hostile spirit shown by President
j Cleveland in bis numerous vetoes of
the measures for pension relief, and the
action of the Democratic Representa?
tives in refusing even a consideration
of general pension legislation.
In support of the principles here?
with enumerated, we invite the co-op?
eration of the patriotic men of all par?
ties, and especially of all working men
whose prosperity is seriously threatened
by the free trade policy of the present
Administration.
Blaine's friends worked hard for him,
and it is claimed by them that bis nomi?
nation had been arranged for, and that
he would have received on Monday 600
votes, but two telegrams from him de?
manding that his letters on the subject
be respected, demoralized his supporters
who thereupon concentrated upon Har?
rison.
BENJAMIN HARRISON.
Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, who
has been selected as the Presidential
candidate of the Republican party, is of
historic lineage. His great-grandfather,
of the same Christian name as himself,
was a member of the Continental Con?
gress from Virginia, and was one of
the signers of the Declaration of Inde?
pendence, twice a member of Congress,
and three times a Governor of Vir?
ginia. President Harrison, eminent
soldier and statesman, was his grand?
father.
Benjamin Harrison was bora in Ham?
ilton County, Ohio, August 20, 1833.
He * was graduated from the Oxford,
Ohio University, and studied law for
two years in Cincinnati. Ia 1854 he
went to Indiauaoolis, where he has
since resided.
Mr. Harrison wa3 elected reporter of
the Supreme* Court of Indiana in 1860,
six years-after he bad begun the prac?
tice cf his profession. Soon after this, I
however, he joined the Union army, in j
which he was commissioned a 2d lieu- j
tenant. He was one of the 75,000 j
volunteers who answerd President j
Lincoln's call. After a short service he j
organised Company A, of the 70th Jn- j
diana volunteer infantry, and was ap- j
pointed Colonel. He was mustered out j
in June, 1885, with the rank~of briga- !
dier general. Returning to civil life he j
discharged the duties of Court reporter ?
for four years. In lo'?? he was a cac- I
didate for Governor on the Republican
side, but was defeated. Ho was ap?
pointed on the Mississippi River com?
mission in 1870. Mr. Iiarriscn was !
elected United States Senator for India- !
na in 1880, as the successor of Joseph j
E. McDonald, and took his seat on ?
March 4, 1881. His tenn of service j
expired March 3, 1887. . I
LEVI P. MORTON. j
Levi P. Morton, who was nominated
by thc Republicans at Chicago for Vice I
President, is a native of New York. \
He served one term in Congress and j
was tendered thc naval secretaryship in j
Garfield'.^ Cabinet, but, on the advice [
of Conkling, declined. Subsequently
he accented thc French mission and !
made a record as a go-id ainuer-giver
while abroad. M orton was born iu
Vermont and started in life as a shoe?
maker. The shin?r?e that called the
outside world's attention his shop is j
still in existence and the property of aj
Vermont Democrat. When Morton
achieved vrealth and a seat in Congress
he made a liberal bid for the shingle in
order to destroy the evidence of his ?
early poverty and humble station, hut I
its possessor refused to give it up. He i
is now the head of the great Wall street
bauking Grut of Morton, ?5iiss & Co.
It was Morton who contributed the bale
of 'nice crisp %'2 bills' that Steve Dorsey
and Chauncey Filley used to carry In?
diana for the Republicans iu 1880.

On Tuesday last Secretary Bayard
sent to* the House of Representatives a
letter from Count Arco, the German
miuister to the United States, in which
the count states that he duly transmit?
ted to his. Government the resolution
of the Ho'uee of the 15th. inst , ex?
pressing sympathy with the German
Nation on account of the death of Em?
peror Frederick. The resolution was,
he says laid before Emperor William,
who was deeply moved thereby, and
instructed him (Count Arco) to thank
the House of Representatives through
thc Goveroment of the United States
for their manifestations of regard.
The wrangling of the Republicans at
Chicago is greately enjoyed by the
Democrats here
Congressman Timothy Campbell* of
New York made a bet with ex-Con
I gressman Page, of California, of $5,
000 that Cleveland and Thurman would
carry New York. Since that was pub?
lished every mail brought huodreds of
letters from New York Democrats ask?
ing if they can get any more bets like
j that one. So far Mr. Page is the only
man found who is willing to contribute
?5-000 to help keep up the drooping
spirits of his party.
The House has done a good week's
work on the regular appropriation bills,
and there now seems to be a probability
that all of them will be passed by the
end of the current fiscal year, June
30th. indeed, these measures have
been pushed along so vigorously not?
withstanding the absence of so many
Republican members who are at Chi?
cago, that the remark has been made
that 'Congress can work better and ac?
complish more without a quorum than
with it.'
More 'pairs' are in existence this
week in both the Senate and House
than we:e ever on record at one time
before.- The Chicago Convention, is
the cause of it.
General Sheridan's condition has con?
tinued about the same for the past week.
There is no' decided improvement, but
there has been no return of heart fail?
ure, which fer a time occurred at inter?
vals of every three days, and conse?
quently the distinguished patient and
his family are hopeful.
Commissioner Wright, of the Labor
bureau has submitted estimates aggre?
gating $153,540 for the expenses of. the
new Department of Labor for the next
?scal year, of which $S4,740 are for
salaries. It is thought that Mr. Wright
will be put in charge of the new De?
partment.
At last a statue of Ben. Franklin is
to be erected io this city.
MU- -?o- CAut^ -
The Presbyters and Deacons of the
Reformed Episcopal church, of this
State, have issued a public invitation to
the congregation of St. Mark's, the
colored Episcopal church, denied re?
presentation in the Diocesan convection,
to join the reformed church. The in?
vitation will probably be declioed.
Chief of Police Graham, of Colombia,
raided a keno game in 'the Cottage.' a
well known resort of that city, at mid?
night of Friday. Of thirty men pres?
ent eleven were captured, the others
going cut through the windows. Mat
terson, the proprietor, and H. E. Pol?
lock and S. F. Black, the dealers, were

FOR SCHOOL COMM?SSIONER.
Mr. Editor : The people of this section think
it very important to have some one fully
qualified as School Commissioner. Without
intending to disparage others we think MR.
THOS. B. FRASER, JR , peculiarly quali
Sed for the office He took advantage of a
full collegian classical education wilh honors.
Since graduation Las been a student and
kept up with the educational system and lit?
erature of the day; he is correct in habits,
courteous in manners, energetic in dut}-, and
of high moral and religious character. While
be has not taken part in political cliques, he
has done his duty as a Democrat, and served
as Secretary of the Democratic Executive
Committee. The writer has not conferred
with him or any of bis family, and does not
know that be would serve if elected ; but if
he will, the people cannot get a better man
than Thos. B. Fraser, Jr., for School Com?
missioner. MECIIANICSVILLE.

Mr. Ed?or: Announce Mp.. W. J. DURANT
cf Concord as a candidate for School Com?

the Democratic party faithfully in alMts con?
tests, aod is, therefore, fairly entitled to the

FOR SHERIFF.
The many friends of CAPT. E. SCOTT
CARSON beg to announce him as a candi?
date for Sheriff at ensuing election subject to
action of Democratic party.
The subject cf this announcement is one
who is weil deserving of consideration at the
hands of the voters of Sumter County: one
who, by reason of nsevere wound rereived in
his State's cause during the terrible conflict
between the States, has been incapacitated for
life from doing the lightest cf man uni labor;
, and, since the remuneration of the emolu?
ments of an cfiice at the hands of the voters of
, Sumter County is all, possibly, that he can
expect, we put in nomination Ma. ROBERT
W. JENKINS, of Providence Township, for
\ Sheriff of Sumter County. Mr. Jenkins is a
quiet, sober, reserved Christian gentleman,
and deserves well done to him.
May 0 MANY FRIENDS.
FOR SOL?CKTOR.

BROOKS STUCKEY do most respectfully
offer his name as a candidate for the office of
Solicitor ot' the Third Circuit.
.Mr. Stuckey is a gentleman'of fine legal
ability and sterling integrity ; born and
reared in the Circuit, his record will bear
scrutiny, and we are satisfied the 'interest of
the Third Circuir, and the State of South Car?
olina cannot suffer in hrs hands. Let true
merit be rewarded.
