Organise. - . The Newspapers, Kew ben j Observer. The newspapers of this State? with a Yery few iasi^ifleant exceptions, were tra* to the itemocracy and to the best iatereats of the State. from 1868 to 1876 It was d uri og ? those days that Etage, we think it was-certainly one cf the Jieo doit?cant etement-made r ibo remark t "?-n the newpapers say ooastxtaents don't read them*'. We often tomi: of this when we see where a self-constituted "leader'' io this r-: d^Mttftelcs the newspapers. His con s-i; stitaeats do read the newspapers, ia spite of him$ bat he thinks fae can neairalixe tba effect by destroying confi? dence in them. With scarcely aa exception the news? papers are now trae to the Democratic party and to 'hebest interests of the State; and people who do their own ?hinkieg believe it. They know well eaoagh that a newspaper that has ao ax? to grind-and most of them have Rone-?aa nothing whatever to gain by deceiving the people. " - Prosperity Reporter. The cry of Third Party is being kept ?pT w'ttb a vim. and some of those jour? nals and individu?is who are most lc ii Ij raising aa alarm against the forma? tion af a Third Farly wer? Third Party Itea and sympathisers last election. Tba Third Party was wrong then and it would be an wise and wrong to form aaa tba coming election. We do ant believe theSoath Carolina Carmen want a Thiri Party. The Third Partyit?s of last eieciion will bear watching, ive believe one of the most determined efforts ever set in motion against the Farmers' Movement and Farmers' Alliance has been inaugu? rated, and that if great prudence and emservatssm^ts not exercised by the farmers alf that has been gained will be lost. We do not mean by this that the farmers mast reach a condition of timi? dity approaching inactivity, bat that they mast weigh well' their plans so as not to alienate the support of the con . serva ti ve element. Tba last electioni and its results bave cpeaed the eyes of many citizens, and if no serious binador is made Gov. T?l maa eau be easily re-elected. Nothing abort of their own retara to power would please those composing the Third Party of last election more than an op portWKty to. defeat Gov. Tilim an and make it appear that the people of the State did not endorse the present Ad min ia tra ti on. Those ia the farmers' ranks who are disposed to be rash fboald think about these things.

"The Bug in the Buttermilk " Sdge?eid Chronicle. ? At Batesbarg, Tom Watson, after recklessly exaggerated picture of the wrongs and poverty of the Southern farmer, cried oat with pitiful aod pu? erile waggery? "Isn't this so boys? Yes, boys, there's a bog in the but? termilk somewhere, sore! " Wei!, boys, , since the Batesbarg meetiog the bog has been found Tom Watsaa^&es^been : ing him. and knew exactly where ??was Did thc gentlemen who help np their hands un? derstand what be meant? Here is the ex planati cm : T^e negro laborers of the Stets are to be organizad into Alli? ances, sad are to be used as an auxil? iary force 4n changing the political order of things in Sou.b Carolina. Gentlemen, "changing the political order bf things io Sooth Carolina," is a polite phrase which really means de? stroying toe Democratic party, and bringing beak Republican mle; for, mark jem, when the Alliance shall have destroyed thc D?mocratie party, theo the Republican party will torn round and wipe the Alliance clean oat of exis? tence. The day is coming, gentlemen, wheo yon will wish that instead of a bog, yoar buttermilk bad hell-fire and dam? nation in it, that yon might poor il oat apon the vile heads of the dema? gogues who are so basely misleading yoo. Pee Dee Index. Colonel Tom Watson, who discussed the snb treasury with Senator Butler ai Batesboxg.. the other day, said in thc beginning of hb speech that he knew perfectly well be would be at a disad? vantage in discussing the question there with Senator Butler. "Yon koon bim/* he tiaid, "and love him while am unknown to you." The Georgian has doubtless discov? ered by tht? time now egregiously mis? taken he was in making the above speech. Congressman Watson is a Georgian aod a yoong fellow with nc exp?rience ia public affairs bot he cao come over into Sooth Carolina on hie sub-treasury platform and influence mora people that General Hampton, Senator Bailer, General Hagood, Gen eral Bratton. Colonel Earle, or any oth? er half dozen men like them in the State. These are the "old political backs" whom the Cotton Plant sneers at, men noon whose public record no breath of suspicion has ever fallen, men who bave already done more for the State than a dozen Talberts or Stokeses ever could do ander the most favorable circumstances. With as clean records as any men in the State have ever had it is fashionable now to brand them as suspected traitors, in whose hands the welfare of the people would not be safe. ? little demagogue from Kansas, some puny politician from Iowa or some young upstart from anywhere else can come here and be received with more honor than distinguished oitisens of our own Stete whose only crime is that they do not advocate certain political doc? trine?; God save the State! If out j polities are to be run at ?he dictation of such men as Pfeffer, Maoune and others we shall need more than human gui dance and assistance to bear the ills which are sure to come. Ob no ! Congressman Watson was at no disadvantage because he was un? known. He nore a popular message and for that reason was greater than our own greatest men; If anyone bad any advantage, bo it said to the shame of this State, Congressman Watson himself had it. An Incidental .Democrat. 'News and Cfeurier The best letter Col. W. J. Talbert has ever written was published in the News and Courier yesterday. It contained a plain, matter of-fact statement of bis attitude towards Hie Democratic party, and though we differ from bim entirely in the conclusions which he reaches, ! we acknowledge the generally courteous [temper in which he ha? given expres? sion to his vie vf 9. Col Talbert says that he is a Demo? crat, and that his record as such has never been impeached. He. also says that he is an Alliance maa and stands on tb e Oca ta platform. He proposes to make fats fight for Alliance measures in the Democratic primaries or conven? tions, State or'national, and says "If we fail to nominate candidates who stand on the Ocal a platform then we will stand by the regular nominees of the Democratic party." Being inter? preted^ this means that be is an Alli? ance man first and a Democrat after? wards ; that he holds a platform of a secret, oath bo and political organization, [largely composed of men of differing political principals and of no political principals whatever, as more entitled to his loyal acceptance and support than the platform of the Democratic party; that be contends for the nomina? tion at D?mocratie con Tendon s of men loir office who sssnd not on the Demo eratic platform but on the Ocala plat? form. He proposes to tight it out on this line "so long as there is a Demo? cratic primary or Democratic conven? tion before whbh we, Alliance men can,.fight." **I repeat now," says Col. Talbert, "that on that platform [the Ocala platform] "I would stand, und there are not enough newspapers in South Carolina to scare me off." So far ss we know, there is not a (newspaper in the State that would at-il tempt to scare Col. Talbert from this M position or from any other position that ie might take upon any question. We do not think that be is easily Beared our only intention is that he shall not be permitted to scare other men in the State from their allegiance to the Dem? ocratic party, and induce them by his example ta render only a half-hearted loyalty to the Democracy. We do not wish in South Carolina any incidental Democrats who confess that they ar3 bound first to a secret organization and next to the Democracy. No man can J stand on the Ooala platform and at the same time retain his foothold 00 the Democratic platform. The two plat? forms cannot be dovetailed together. She Democratic party ts the party, of e people--of the banker ; as well as e farmer, of the mercha.it as well as pthe mechanic, of the people who dwell in the city as well as of those who live .the country, of the poor man and fibe rich man alike-of the masses and not of a class. It ie opposed to centralisa? tion, to paternalism, to making ?he government the apecial agent of par? ticular interests. The Ocala party is j m class party, a centralizing party, a paternal party. It is impossible for any man to stand by tbe. Ocala demands and at the same time by the principle? and policy and precedents of the Demo? cratic party. Col. Talbert asks the News and Courier whether it will promise to sup? port "men as the regular Democratic nominees who stand squarely and fully on the Ocala demands." We answer, No! We might support them as white men against negroes, ss incident? al Democrats against out aed-out Repub? licans ; but we would not support them as regular Democrats, because in the very nature of things they would not ? be Democrats, and could not be con? sidered as Democrats. Col. Talbert says that "we" propose to fight it pu con the Ocala platform "so long as there is a Democratic primary or Democratic convention before which we. as Alliance men, can fight." Surely (his is a remarkable proposition. Why should "the. regular Democratic nominees" be selected by the Alliance ? Why should Alliance men be given a chance to "fight" in democratic prima? ries and conveutions? Is the Democra? tic party permitted to "fight" its battles iu the Alliance clubs ? Is not the Al? liance a "non-partisan" organization ? Are Democrats, as such,' allowed to take part in the "primaries or conventions" ot the Alliance ? Was the Ocala plat j form adopted by a Democratic conven? tion t When was the Ocala platform j adopted by the Democracy as its plat? form ? As well ask the Democratic party to advocate the doctrine of Pro? tection as to demand that Democratic voters, who are true to thc principles of the party, shall support "regular Dem cratie nominees who stand fully on the Ocala platform demands." In a re? cent speech at Selma, Senator Morgan, of Alabama-a free-silver Democrat, ; : an Anti Cleveland Democrat, but a r ! Democrat through and through, heart ? j and soul-said : ii "??fore tbe ?rea: Democracy is re r ! quired to adopt ibe Ocala platform, it L should be discussed openly before the : people and voted on in Democratic ?? primaries and conventions ; and every .: Demecrat should be heard patiently, > fairly and fraternally, who wishes to be 1 j beard before tho vote is taken, whether > ! he has, or has be?, any shibboleth, or t pass-word, or grip, that will secure bim i i admission into any Farmers' Alliance, > | or Citizens* Alliance, or any other place j , j to which access is otherwise denied . [ him. Until that is done, and done fairly and in open day, the capture of six millions of Democratic voters by Polk, Maoane, Wheeler, Donnelly and Lease, by stealth, as nncollared dogs are caught and impounded in our cities, will be too large a contract." It is very well for Col. Talbert to protest his Democracy, but he cannot stand on the Ocala platform and the D?mocratie platform at one and the Bame time. Of coarse the party places no restriction upon his movements, but he cannot be both in the party and out of the party. Catarrh, neuralgia, rheumatism and most diseases originate from impure blood.
