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

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. E A RLE FOR GOV
ERNOR.
Editw WatrLmnn nrtd Southroji :
Allow me '. surest u> the people of the i t
StHie as h proper'person to fili The ofTi< e of "
G?>wnor the nume of Joseph H. Ear'e. 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

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 ;

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 .?

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.
