WEDNESDAY, JAN. 13,'92. -9 ? 'Proceedings of the State Ex? ecutive Committee^ f% Xbe campaign of 1892 has opened . Jud the opening bugle was sounded 011 a night which, to say the least, was-?ug|resti ve. lt was dark, dreary and rainy. Bot, in the president's office of the Carolina National Bank the Irby Executive committee met and considered whether th? Demo? crats who voted for Judge Ilaskell last year will be allowed to vote in tl? coining primaries arranged for by ?(be committee, lt ended just like Senator Chairman Irby said it would in a recent interview published in The State. Tb?* committee met at 8 o'clock and the following members were pres ?m Abbeville, A. W. Jones, 0. C. Jordan ; Anderson, W. A Neal; Bam well, N. H. Stansell ; Berkeley, T. W. Staularfd ; Charleston, D. A. J. ~ Ssxllivan ; Clarendon, M. C.. Galln chst; Pakington, J?hn W. Wad dell; Greenville, Jl W. Gray; Ker? shaw, T. J.

At toe opening of the meeting things?VemV very quiet for a while, and there was. no friction whatever, but later there was no end to speech ^?i^md the political feeling of a year ago was to a c?rtaiu degree displayed, without any show of bitterness. A ^trauge feature was that there were Ju?;|sw of the heretofore rampant jtti?n who had not a conciliatory spirit. ^Action was without great trouble until the Sumter-matters were con sidered. Then there were long and f jgfc?MW discussions and arguments Tl?e Sumter matter took a particular ly ??ug time to be settled, and left ?ot much time for anything else. THE SUMTER CONTEST. J Wien the Sumter case was reached tie credentials of the contestants iiri>m the two fractions known respect iv ely as the straightouts and Tiliinau -^?tRis'w?re presented. II. R. Thomas representing the Tiihnunites, and W. H. Ingram the straightouts. The contest came up on a motion to seat Mr Ingram, and this precipitated a very acrimonious de??aWl?d by Col. John C. Haskell, 00 behalf of Ingram, supported by Messrs Jones of Lancaster and Jur da?^i,Aiken. The other side, was represented -by Dr. Samson Pope of Newberry and Mr. Waddle of Dar? lington. At ?hw stage and before any vote ytm taken, Col. Ilaskell, acting for Mr. Ingram, presented the following . resolutions, which had been prepared rigr. Mr. Ingram, and urged their adop " ?cn a? a final and peaceful settlement ?A the Sumter trouble. Whereas two bodies claim to be the executive committee of the Dem? ocratic party for Sumter county, and ' it is important, that Ur's matter of -diiference should be adjusted as soon AS possible. "Resolved, That thc State execu . live committee recommend that that ?-budy or committee recognizing D. E. Keels as HS head and as county chair? man of the Democratic party for Sum r4e"iT'conuly, and that body or com mi t _ tee recoguizing John S. Ilughson as tts head, and as such county chair? man, each select one man, a Demo? cratic voter of Sumter county, and ?t!:e?*W'; voters so selected select a third voter of the county, and that the three so appointed constitute Vcoaunissioners of election for a pri ? ?ii.ry-election in said Sumter couuty, *f<x au executive committee for the democratic party for the couuty ; fbni said commissioners have full power to name three managers for every votiug precinct in Sumter Tc?uuty, at each of which precincts ? there shall be one and only one box. That elections be held on a day * namedr after--days public notice, for an ex**cuti\e committee and that the pers?His receiving the highest number of votes at such election shall Abe-% declared by such commissioners ^ ot'election fabe the Executive Com - mittee of the Democratic party for Scmter couuty until another election -ia-held and declared under the consti t totion of the Democratic party. r Each of the said committees now claiming to bea regular body, may 'nominate a ticket of sixteen, one from each township, to be votr d for at the election herein recommended. The executive committee so elected .snail- chose one of their number chair ri?3?. The election so ordered shall be under the requirements and re? strictions of the act of the Legislature * of this State regulating primary elec ? tiona: . ' That the executive committee 90 elected shall at once proceed to or? ganize the county Democracy by au - thorizing the organization of two clubs and no more in each township . in said county? That aftei the clubs * so authorized are organized, the? rolls of membership shall be sent in .to the executive committee for compa risou with other rolls for revision and . correction at least two weeks before the meeting of any convention of the party in said comity. That the roll, so revised, shall form tbs basis of representation in the con? vention for the clubs respectively in the proportion required by provis:on ol me constitution of the Democratic party of the State. "That should this suggestion be adopted, the or? ganization peifected through the met?o? herein suggested, shall be taken and considered by this commit? tee ns the true and legal organization .of the Democratic party for Sumter rou my and the present organization * in said comity shall be dist anded " - On motion of lieu. J. Walter Gray the whole matter of the Sumter cou *t? st was referred to a committee of three, of which Gen. Gary was made chai man. The committee after an honre* deliberation reported that they found that prior to the meeting of ?be Septemb? r convention there waa no Democratic organization in jNoutrr county and that thereupon Oil. li by had instructed P P. Gail lard, the furner .county chairman, to pn-c* d lo organize the county. :F*i* Mr Gaillard r? fo6ed todo on the -jyuumr?) t!??t wa?? n<> longer county oha'rman, having been succeed d by Dr. John S. Uughson. Further t no effort having beeu made by w is known as the Straightout fact to organize under Irby's order, Tilimauites theu came together ? ordered ? primary of their factior pit against the corresponding no nees of the other fraction previou nominated by a primary. This primary of the Tillmanites the opinion ve the committee de1 oped the fact that the Tillmanites I a majority of the Democrats of county and for this reason they 1 ommended that Mr. Thomas who r resented that faction should be 8< ed which was accordingly done. Those wiio voted against the rep of the committee were John C. Il kell, Ira B. Jone*, Jordan, Find and Sullivan. The debate was characters throughout on the part of some of Till mani tes by rank partisan prejudi and they laid great stress upon the f that the Tillmanite primaries she ed a larger vote than that of < Straightouts, but this apparent maj ity can be easily accounted for by I fact that the Straightouts held th primary first and the Tillmanites kn just what. they , bad to overcon And this is proven by the signifia fact that although their primary sho ed a poll of one thousand two hnndr and six votes where there was opposition, yet in thegeueral electi when the same officers were to voted for and there was the rm serious kind of opposition, and th would naturally poll their voti: strength, their highest candidate J ceived only six hundred and seven! one votes, or a little more than 50 p cent, of the primary vote. The official report given out by t committee is as follows : "The Sumter contest was referrt loathe following committee, Messi Gray, Montgomery and Neal, wi reported in favor of seating Mr. II. J Thomas as the member of the es cuti ve committee from Sumter, whit report was adopted." The official report of the speci committee is as follows : "We the special committee a pointed to investigate the Sumt contest and resolutions offered 1 Mr Haskell in reference to same, b< leave respectfully to report : "That we have carefully.considen the same and said : "First, That up to the 10th of Se] tember, 1890, there was no legall organized Democracy in Sumt< county as decided by the Septemb< convention. "Second, That said State convei tion recommended the )reorganizado of the democracy in Sumter count under the new constitution by th said September convention. "Third, That the Gaillard factio Look no 8tep8 to reorganize under th aew constitution. "Fourth, that the Keels factio made an effort to carry out the recom mendation of the State couventioi pinch was ratified by the people at : Democratic primary. Therefore your committee recom ii end the seating of Mr il. JR Thomas^ as the member of the Statt Executive Committee from Sumte jouuty. BITS OF SUMTER ARGUMENT. The argument on the Sumter cas( ?vas very interesting. One membei Aould say "gentlemen you don't enow what you are dealing with STou are treading on dangerow ground." Then Gol. Haskell woulti .ay, '"you have formed a great gap ?rhich may never be bridged over.1' All along the argument was rapid md many spoke against the action. )ue wanted the convention when il net in May to decide it. REORGANIZATION ARRANGED FOR. The foPowing was famished by the fecretary : "Mr. Haskell moved that the chairman of the Democratic executive committee issue an immediate call br the reoganization of the party and br the May convention. Adopted." "Mr. Willoughby introduced the following resolution, which was idopted : "Resolved, That a committee o? three be appointed by the chair, one A whom shall be the chairman of the executive committee, to prepare rules ?nd regulations to govern the reor? ganization of the Democratic party &ud to recommend mles of the pri? mary elections to be submitted to the county conventions for adoption." "Messrs. li by, Jones and Pope were appointed on this committee. They will meet in a few days, very likely at Laurens, to take action. THE NEXT CONVENTION'S DELEGATES. This was also given : "Mr Haskell moved that the repre? sentation in ihe next Democratic con? vention be double the members o? the General Assemby and that the rep? resentation based upon the (louse of Representatives be upon the appor? tionment under the act of last Legis? lature." Adopted. THE ALI. IMPORTANT QUESTION. When the Sumter matter was com pleted, the all important question, that as to whether the men who voted for Judge Haskell would be allowed to vote or not, was taken up and, as expected, the fun here occurred. The following resolutions were at once offered by Mr. Jordan, they having been dictated by Senator Chairman Irby himself. Resolved, That it is the sense of this committee that all white Dem? ocrats who shall present themselves for membership to any subordinate Democratic clubs, or ?who shall offer to vote at any primary election to be held by the Demociatic party, shall first take the following oath, to wit : That he is a Democrat and will sup po t the nominees of the Democratic patty nominated at said election. Resolved, further, That ali candi? dates for any office in the Democratic primary elections shall pledge them selves to abide the result of the Democratic primaries, candidates for State offices to the State executive Committee, candidates for county offices to the county executive com nittee, respectively. These did not seem to go far ?noiigh however to snit the Senator ?ha?rman, and Speaker Ira B Jones it his suggestion offered the follow ng amendments : V Resolved, further, That it is the tense of this committee that in the nterest of peare and united Demo :ra?-y no Democrat shall be excluded rom participation in said primary >f?faas? of difference during the last ?tate election.' , Thc debate on these resolutions and amendment was spicy and interest? ing. One member cried when opposition appeared, "Mr Chairman, in the name of God Almighty this won't do. This is the maddest move you have ever attempted. I have been with you all along, but I can't stand this thing. I won't have it." It sounded like the voice of Dan Sullivau, the (Iharleston Tillmanite leader. An? other Tillmanite member in speaking ! of the resolutions, said that they were dealing with fellow citizens. They were working for the rule of the white people and if conciliation was not worked for it would be the sad? dest mistake of their lives. Ile would not have anything to do with it, and he voiced the sentiment of his people. "Let us for God Almighty's sake," he cried, ' come together. If we don't come together right now I tell you we are doomed " Still another said he believed ad? verse action was wrong. He thought the white people should be kept j together and thought the matter would be settled, satisfactorily settled -by the passage of the resolutions. They should go back and reorganize. And another said he thought that he had better "get out of there." He bated to do it, but he saw nothing else. Col Haskell in speaking on the resolutions without the amendment said that it was a serious question if any one had deplored more than he the action of his brother last year and he had done all he could to prevent it, but those who went out had done it conscientiously and it was a state of things none could prevent. It existed and conciliation was a neces? sity. A Tillmanite member complained that there was no difference made in the resolutions between them >and those who had left them All were placed upon the same footing. An? other said that the entire resolutions breathed of a brotherly feeling. He hoped the action would be in ac? cord. Then there was another conciliato? ry speech, in which the statement was made that the committee was there to bring tho white people of South Carolina back together as they ought to be. Ile wanted them to come back, and would not oppose the re? solutions, NOT BEGGING TO COME BACK. Col. Haskell at this point made a strong speech. He said he was not opposed to the resolution bnt was strongly opposed to the amendment. Ile said that there were many who went away strongly believing they were right and had never changed their opinions. It looked like they were asking to be taken back-asking pat don for their wrong doing. They were accordingly not in a state of mind to comply with the demand of the amendment "It simply roeans when boiled down," he said, "that these men are not to be punished for their wrong-doings, if there were any such." More he said could be ac? complished by using them gently. In conclusion he said, "It is the amendment only that I think un? wise, A Tillman man announced his disapproval, as it would carry away a large proportion of the white men and among them were many of his own relatives. Another one said in an excited man? ner, that if the Haskell men were brought back it would cause great trouble in his county. Chairman Irby said he would han? dle that and assume the responsi? bility. "Will you and the com? mittee take it all ?" he excitedly asked, and Col. Irby said : "I will assume ali responsibility for waving j the olive branch." Just here some one, the fur of whose coat seemed to be rubbed the wrong way, uttered this : "I warn you all that you aro dealing with 5re ! ' This was very dramatic. The amendment was then adopted. An attempt to lay it on the table failed. The resolutions with the amendment were then put to a vote and adopted, one single "no" being echoed in solemn tones. The committee adjourned a short time before midnight, and the chair? man, Messrs. Pope, Gray, Stansell, Jones, Caughman, Stanland and two others repaired to an oyster ?upper, where they doubtless respond to the toast, "We are on top, boys, and will try to slay there."
