Cbe Hfflibmaii ait? Sont jjroii WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2. The Sunder Watchman was founded in 1S50 and the True Southron in 1866. The Watchman and Southron now has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is mani festly the best advertising medium in Sumter. THE TILLMAN CONVENTION AND ITS WORK. The Convention held in Columbia on Thursday last, commonly called the Farmers* Convention, made a serious and dangerrjus mistake in nominating, or, as they will have it, "suggesting" Mr Tillman for Governor. This action has injured the cause of the farmers more seriously than all the opposition of its enemies could possibly have done. It has lifted Capt. Tillman above the cause, which is a just and meritorious one, and concentrates the fire of its enemies upon him. ile is more vulner able than the cause he leads, or thioks he leads. This action of the Conven tion is regarded everywhere iu the State by the more conservative element of the Democratic party as the climax of a bitter, unreasoning class antagonism. The farmers' movement is now be come a concrete, substantive personality ?Ben Tillman. It forces a bitterness of personal feeling wherein lies the danger of a split in our ranks. When the movement in Virginia some yeare ago degenerated into the mere tool of Mahone, the party in that State was rent asunder and history will repeat itself. Unlike many opponents of Mr. Till man, we do not doubt his sincerity or his allegiance to bis party, and we hope the work to which men of sense and patriotism in the State will direct their energies will be that of keeping bitter ness down in the coming fight. Yet i* is of vital interest that the action of the j late Convention should be repudiated by such an overwhelming vote as to forever preclude in the future a repeti- j tion of the extraordinary methods just I resorted to by Mr. Tillman to have j himself foisted upon our people as a candidate. The Convention can not be regarded as other than distinctively a Tillman Convention, gotten up by Tillman, for j Tillman and run by Tillman. In fact, Mr. Tillman boasts that he earned the platform adopted to the Convention in bis pocket, that every line of it was penned by bina, and that he is the only man with enough brains, pluck, &c. to lead the movement he is accredited with having inaugurated. It would have been remarkable had the Conven tion nominated any other man. It was called for the purpose of nominating Mr. Tillman and for no other purpose. But Mr. Tillmru will never be the Governor of South Carolina. The Convention was held in the inter est of the self-appointed leader of a very small faction of political malcontents The great body of farmers, in whose in- ; tere?t it is preteuded these nominations are made, were either misrepresented or 1 unrepresented. The fact that many counties in the State were not repre- j sented, taken in connection with the close vote on the question of nomina- > tions or no nominations, shows that the majority of the farmers were opposed to i the Convention and its work, for it is fair to presume that those counties re- ! fusing to send delegations are to be j counted with the opposition. The well-known fact that lees than : l ;n per cent of the farming classes of Sou--h Carolina constitute the coo&tit- j uoney of Mr Tillmao and formed the basis of that faction of the Convention I that forced his nomination, when con sidered along with the shameful disre gard of the rights of the opposition in the Convention which characterized Chairman T?dbert*9 management of that body, will dampen the ardor of Mr. : Ti'?man's friends and insures his over whelming defeat j We wee on th; fi >or of the Conven ti ->n as m-rely "a looker-on in Vieuna,'' and wo have never seen each a di-grace ful and unscrupulous exhibition of parti ? Z-3I as that of Chairman Tolbert in hi6- arbitrary rulings. ft reminds us of the itnmortal Brudder (Gardner of the Lime In Club, aud | the proceeding*of the Convention ought t-> have about as much weight with the Democratic party of South Carolina a-* those of the famous Detroit club usually nave. That mongrel delegation from Charleston composed of malcontents, chronic office seekers, political soreheads & ? i some half radicals are responsible : this nomination. After the farmer* d Charleston County had repudiated ^lr. Shell and his Convention a few irre sponsible soreheads got together and 3ent a delegation to Columbia composed f men w' o had as much right to seats that Convention as a lawyer would have in a cooveotion of apothecaries yet it was through the vote of this dele gation (?) that Mr TU Iman's oom?oa n j was mad'* po?s:ble. We are silent a-> to the second person the ticket. Major Co?t, because we . 7 the man and do not b'dieve he ?M accept the nomination or "sugges i>" offered him. Since the above wa< put ir. type Mr "il oui? ha* published a card in the ? ews and Courier eiatttiing that what - did sav was : "If voo a-k me to iead ::s fight you e il on <j?e Co lead a for I hope, and ?J I am the only man ?? !: ? bas t he brai ' &e. ?> ne-<1 ' take those b?g cathartic pills; i?r. L-ho's Liver and Koi???v THE PLATFORM ADOPTED AT THE SHELL CONVENTION. The platform of principles enunciated by the late Farmers' Convention is com prehensive, well written and ought to receive that serious consideration which the importance of the subjects treated entitles it to. The rights of the farmers to assemble together to discuss questions of public concern, to formulate platforms ? principles and devise plans by which differences of opinions in the party may be freely and publicly diecussed for the edification of the masses, with a view to I bringing about needed reforms, none j will dispute If this is done fairly,honest ! ly, and in perfect frankness and strictly in the best interest of the people, it is not only unobjectionable?but most desirable. Nominations for office by primary is the only way of getting at the will of the people and for that reason alone j should be so made. The 3rd, paragraph of the platform demands reapportionroent of represen tation in the Democratic Convention upon the basis of the ceusus of 1880, to go iuto effect this year, and that delegates to the Convention be elected by primary. These demands are all right enough?but how can they be carried out this year? Only the Dem ocratic State Convention can change its own constitution, which now pro vides other methods and regulations It does very well, however, to pit these demands on paper?they read well and wi!l perhaps be acceded to some other year. It might be well for the Demo cratic Convention to meet iu May and so change its Constitution as to con form to the proposed plan of represen tation and election of delegates. The Democratic State Convention is the only power that can change existing regulations and that will only meet this year for the purpose of nominating a State ticket''from Governor down.'7 We would regret very much to see the Board of Agriculture abolished. It has done a great deal for the State. The proper place for it, too, is Colum bia, the seat of our government. To transfer the Agricultural Department to Fort Bill would be to so emasculate jf it as to eventually destroy it. The Clemson College ought to be j ' liberally supported by funds directly I appropriated for that purpose from !1 the general funds in the Treasury so j that our people could know what be- j m comes of their money. All special j1 funds ought to be covered into the 1 treasury as other funds and disbursed by the vote of our general assembly, j The election of R R. Commissioners by the people?if that method would give us a better set of men?is a much j j needed reform and we heartily concur in this demand. A survey of our phosphate beds ought to be made and the value of this j rich possession of '.he State accurately | ^ ascertained. It would be unwise just now in the present temper of our people to tamper j. with the organic law9 of the State. ^ The radical changes that would be made j j under existing circumstances would be ? more hurtful than beneficial. We are heartily in sympathy with the 7th de maed, for rigid economy in public ex pendituree for the ordinary expenses of i government, and the abolition of unnecessary offices, but we think it possible to carry economy a little too far. Liberal expenditures are some times wiser than niggardly ecooomy. Taken as a whole the platform is a strong and healthy instrument that will command the thoughtful and favorable ! [ consideration of thousands who will j <J repudiate its author. [ If we mistake tiot the temper of our jrt people, very vew alterations will be j v made in it by the Democratic Conven- j f turn. It requires no special champion j * to advocate it. While there are some j v objectionable features these are of j [ minor importance. It is a pity that such a document j c can't claim legitimate parentage, but j ' tnust^ go to the world as a bastard i t We tru-t the Democratic Convention ' will, by adopting the best of it as ?: its own, stand in lo^o parentis JOSEPH H.

He t is ro*n above sectional feeling, ami bus prov?oi faithful in ttip discharge of *!! th?- * dories imposed upon him. His reror?l is a ynri of 'be progressive history ot 'h* Stile. ( iti/ . I he aboye communication i* from one of the leading citizens of Sumter County, and meets with our hearty endorsement A man who is called to the exalted position of Governor ..f South Carolina should be entirely untrammelled by alliances with any faction or class?in other word*, a man of the people and for the people. I a ad litio?, he ought to be <i m:tn of proven ability and fi'nees for the office; ?me whose public and vate life is above suspicioj ; one in whose lin* are mingled the elements that go to make up th- statesman, tie patriot and the gentleman ; a man o| dignity .it character and comprehensive intellect. We know of no man in S'Ojrh Carolina who mure fully comes up to these requirements than Col Karle. He is a compietti man and sa gacious statesman, of Dronounced con victions and possessing the fearlessness to assert and maintain them. Under the present peculiar conditions that obtain in our party more will be expected and required of <o\r ?w*t Gov ernor than has been of any of his pr- de cessors io that office. Col Earle will Dot, if elected, disappoint these expec. tatioos or fall short of these require ments. Born in the upper country, brought up in the middle country, he is bound to the one section by ties of kindred to the other by association. "Nothing succeeds like success," and Col. Earle has been successful in his every pursuit or undertaking. A successful farmer before hie admis sion to the Bar, he has won for himself at the Bar a name second to none in the State. While representing hie county in the Senate be introduced, and after a hard ?ght, had adopted the bill requiring the payment of tuition fees in the the S. C University. He favored that institution as a literary college, but was unrelentingly opposed to the "ag ricultural annex." He has always been in favor of an Agricultural College where persons of limited means aud opportunities might be trained for the industrial pursuits at small cost. He has been consistently opposed to sectionalism, and favored such laws as were just to tbe whole people : as an instance of this, take bis determined effort in the Senate to have a constitu tional amendment adopted, depriving Charleston of one of her Senators? not because he was opposed to Charles ton, nor because that county was not ably represented in the Senate, but be cause he conceived it to be unjust to the other counties. That be has always been in favor of equal and uniform taxation, is clearly ?hown by his opinion in reference to taxation of Banks, whereby be required a change in the mode of taxation in re gard to these institutions, by which capitalists have been prevented from enjoying an immunity in part from taxation. These are but a few instances of his efforts in behalf of right and justice. Col. Earle has now been Attorney jreneral for nearly four years and has idministered the office with the utmost egard for economy. Doing all the work )f that office himself, employing no out side assistance, he has been sustained >y the Courts in every position that he ias taken. If success in the past is ever taken as in earnest of tbe future and entitles a nan to any consideration then has Col. Karle shown himself richly deserv ng of promotion to the higher office vhere his rare endownroents may find a wider scope for their employment for he advancement of tbe interests of the frhole people. Our heart and hand are in the work )f making him our next Governor, and jrod speed him in the race. E TERRIBLE STORM AT LOUISVILLE. We print a partial account, copied rom the New York Herald, of a terri ne tornado which swept over a portion )f the West Thursday night last, smit ng Louisville and other towns with ragie force. It was such a calamity as j s rarely witnessed in this country. It j vas a fearful visitation, and the full ex I eut of the calamity is not yet ascer ained This, with the great floods on be Mississippi?tbe end of which is lot yet, judging from the gloomy pre lictions of coming disasters, and the ?arnings of the signal service?will nake the month a memorable one with ts horrid stories of wreck aud ruin, of lood and storm A storm arising in the Northwest three lavs ago, moving slowly down the valley of j he Mississippi, turning eastward at its jonr- j ion with the Ohio, gathering force as it went intil it became a cyclone, and passing off to- ! vard Canada, in this vicinity skirted by j bunder clouds, the rumblings of which j .wakened slumbering New Yorkvrs earlj j esterday morning, is the simple summary of me of those grund panoramas of her mighty urces with which Nature Seems to mock the ?ower? of man. On i'S southern edge the udden indraught of air, Catching up the ? Himer vapors from below, created a series of ornadoes which laid waste everything in heir path. Une hurricane struck Metropolis, III , and t whs ruined. Another wiped out the town ! tf Bowling Green. Another strtirk Louis- j ille, cutting a swath through its finely : milt portions and leaving hundreds of vie- ; ims behind. It Mew across the Ohio aud j >ad!y damaged Jefferson vil le. (nd Scarcely a town in the vicinity of the bor- ! 1er line of Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana ' sc? pf-d the ravages of these tornadoes, while' he main track of the cyclone w??s marked by dgh winds, floods ami heavy rainfall. It was net ween seven and eight o'clock at ; light that the de.ith dealing gules struck ? .onisville. A oath was mowed through the j ity as if a reni. had been cutting dow 1 lead grass. Fortunately for tbe citizens ii \ cm the business quarter of the town that .? ittnrked by the tornado, and the resilient ? ortions were not <?o largely affected. Hence he loss of life w*s not as great as it might ; 0 her wise have been. Bui in that business ; pi;ir'?-r were the theatres and public halts : nd hotels and manv were the victims here. ?

A large force of men ie at work on the ruine and about oue hundred bodies have been recovered. The buildings on Main street, from Eighth to Fourteenth street, are in ruine, not one of the wholesale houses being left. All the to bacco ware houses were swept away. Un Market street, Falls City liai), a four story huilding, was blown down wmile several Masonic and Knights of Honor lodges were in session, and three hundred men and women were buried in the ruins. Every other house on Market, Jefferson and Walnut streets, from Tenth to Sixteenth street, is in ruins. At the Union Depot, at the foot of Seventh street, the Chesapeake and Ohio traiti for Washington was just starting out filled with passengers. The building was prostrated, crashed in on the train. All the passengerp, however, were rescued ex. nt one newsboy. Such desolution no cit; hr.e known in this century. Every building, tree and telegraph pole in the district struck was levelled. The cyclone was predicted by the Signal Service bulletins yesterday afternoon, but no heed was paid to its warding. The cyclone came with scarce a warning sound, and in all the buildings struck the inhabitants were en gaged in their usual avocations without be ing able to make an effort to escape when their homes collapsed. The district laid wast comprises an area of the city three miles long and nearly half a mile wide. Hundreds of wounded have been taken to tbeir homes and the hospitals. All the physicians of the city are engaged in at tending them. At eight o'clock seven fires were burning. They were all extinguished. No trains arrived from Cincinnati, Lexington or the South on the Louisville and Nashville or Chesapeakeand Ohio roads last night. All the railroads with the exception of the Pe.m sysvania lines are compelled to suspend opera tions. The central and western parts of the city are badly wrecked. About four hundred business housps have been destroyed on Main, Market, Jefferson and Walnut streets from Tenth street to Sixteenth street. The latest reports from Louisville definitely fix the number of killed at 93, and the badly wounded at about 150, of whom many are expected to die. our exchanges" The York Enterprise comes to us this week greatly enlarged and neatly made up We are glad our valued contemporary is prospering.
