EDITORIAL NOTES.
If one is to believe the Greenville
Democrat; Col. J. H. Barle has become
ft full-fledged Tillmanite. Truly it can
be said that Col. Karlc's former politi
v ^fcftl friends ate greatly disgusted?dis
gust hardly expresses the feeling.
ft would seem that Tillrnan is the
only one able to meet Sheppard, Orr,
S?som* aed tao other candidates pot
in the field by tbe March Convention.
McLaurin does attempt to make a wordy
tittle apeeoh, bat it is all fulsome eulo
gy of "Tillrnan the beet part of tbe
Farmers' Movement."
Tbe first copy of the Bi?hopvil!e
aW?C? has bees received. Uoder tbe
management of those who bave the
paper io charge, it bid* fair to be a
paper of geo owe worth aod merit. We
trust ?bat tbe News will be tbe true ex
pewewt of one of Sumter County's most
favored sections.
We are indeed glad to see that the
Ladies' Memorial Association has de
cided to place headstones to the graves
-of tbe Confederate Soldiers buried in
tbe Cemetery here. It is an act ihat
feboald be imitated throughout the State
*a*d South, where the soldiers'graves
h%ve not already been marked.
*Jo*\ Tillrnan tried at Edgefield to
prate incorrect the figures given at
Oreen?ifte by Sheppard showing that
Tillrnan spent more per year than Rich
ardsGo bad, but Sheppard shut him a
by proving that the figures were taken
?rom one of HI man's letters to the
Cofesabta Register. Til! m an found
himself in an exceedingly awkward po
rtion to say tbe least.
Io tbe last paper we gare a pretty
complete summary of the speeches made
at the Greenville meeting, bat believ
ing that our readers desired to see the
fallest obtainable report of the meeting,
we devote tbe entire first page to the
speeches made at Greenville. The first
ppeech of Gov. Tillrnan is taken from
tbe Colombia Register; the other
speeches from the Greenville Enter
prise and Mountaineer. These we
deem tbe best reports made. Hereafter
we abati not devote so much space to
tbe campaign meetings, aod shall give
only such portions of tbe speeches as
are different from those delivered at
Greenville.
At tbe request of Mr. . Thomas,
tbe leading exponent of Tillmanism io
Savater County we re-publish two arti
elea from tbe Greenville Democrat.
The article attacking Jas. L Orr does
act, ta oar opinion come under the head
of "legitimate campaign literature," as
? ?consiste entirely of vituperation, but
are give it as an example of strictly
nSmal administration campaign thuu
der- Col. Orr has said in piato terms
that tbe ebarge that he drew a salary
under the Republican government is a
lie* sai everybody knows ar should
knew, that a majority of the members
of the Wallace House voted to retain
Jadge Willard a office. If it was a
tsrime in Orr, it was a crime io a ma
jority of tbe Wallace House me m bere.
What did Got. Tillrnan mean, when
fee said at Greenville, that after Ir by
was elected, be bad no leaders in the
legislature. Where were the three
young heroes who came into promi
nence oo their code's reputation ? Is it
net bard oo John Gary Evans, on
Karae&t Gary,on "Jeems" Norton of the
Comptroller's office, oo Ye Ide , of
Kdgefield, oo our brilliant young At
torney General, oo that statesman from
Union, Godfrey B. Fowler, on McWhite
of Florence, Boros of Darlington, Pat
terson of Barnwell, Buist of Green
ville, Buchanan of Fairfield, Blease of
Newberry, and a host of other leaders ?
Could he depend on none of these, none
oeuid he trust ? Was poor John Has
IteM able to down all these able admin
istration leaders ? After the ooble 6ght
they madejo sustain the Governor, it is
terrible that they are to be denominated
at drift wood and not fit to be trusted.

cal certainty, t-hat they would be able to
go into the county convention with a
majority of 12 to 15 now find that
majority reduced to 3, and there are
?tili several doubtful delegates to place.
Ob! the desperate aoceitainty of the
situation ; but oo, they say there must
be no uncertainty. If ve Sose our
grip?tbe grasp of the mailed hand, you
know?we will be ruined. Come to
oar aid now, they pray, oh ! sly and j
conning intellect, that bas so oft before ]
Stood as io good stead, and made suc
cess possible, both io business and pol
ities, when all avenues seemed closed.
Hers we are with only a pitiful majority
of titr?e and eeveral of these with uncer
tain rotes? What shall we do to retain
OOr grasp aad prevent thai minority
representing a majority of the voter?,
from defeating oar well and cunningly
dans? Oh, iuitilty, bravado and
buncombe come to our aid ! for?as the |
impious soldier prayed to the Almighty !
*=*-he1p us this time and we will not call
on you again, for we can manage affairs
hereafter without outside help.
It would seem from the rumors which
reach us, that the prayer has been
heard and 'these aforesaid leaders will
go into the convention with cunningly j
laid plans to increase that pitiful major
ity by cutting down the strong conser
vative minority by protests and contests
and even, the entire ruliug out of some
of the delegates.
It is proposed; to contest the entire
delegations of several clubs on the
grounds that a quorum, was not pre-*
sent at the meetings electing the dele*
gates. Very particular inquiries have
been made as to the number present at
the meeting of the Sumter Democratic
Club, andka tes: will be made of this
case against this club, as it would be
all plain sailing if the 24 delegates from
this club could be ruled oat of the con
vention. But this scheme won't work.
The Constitation says :
"The pr?sident shall have power to call an
extra meeting of the club, aod one-fourth of
the members sball constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business."
This is the only reference in the Con
stitution as to what shall constitute a
quorum, and applies to extra meetings
called by the president of the club, and
not to the regolar advertised meetings.
The only other reference to club
meetings is in Art. , which is as fol
lows :
"Art. II. The meetings of the club should
be frequent after the opening of the canTass,
and some member of the club or invited
speaker d?lirer ac address at each meeting if
practicable."
This refers to regular meetings and
nothing is said about a quorum for, if a
regalar meeting of the club, fails to
have a full attendance, the absent mem
bers have no one to blame but them
selves, for they are apprised of regelar
meetings. The intent of Art. II. is to
prevent the president of a club from
holding a snap meeting with a few
members and transacting business ob
noxious to a majority of the club mem
bership without letting them know of
the meeting.
It is also proposed to attempt to rule
oat of the convention all those who
voted for Haskell ia 1890. This
scheme will not work either, for the
State Executive Committee recognizes
as democrats those who voted for Has
keli as well as those who voted for Till
man. Bat in view of what may
happen, it might be well to look up the
record of Greenbackers, etc , of the
not distant past, who are now Tillman
ites, and will be delegates to the con
vention on Monday, next. Get the facts
and, if needed, use them, not other
wise.
These remore come to as from sources
that warrant us in publicly warning our
readers. Publication may prevent their
being carried oat, or the rumors may be
unfounded, still there is a probability.
Therefore we warn the Conservative del
egates to be on their guard and come (
prepared to make a calm bat stubborn
and determined fight for their rights
Have no thought of withdrawing from
the convention, bat remain and fight
for justice. It is a part of that plan to
make you bolt if possible. 1
We warn the Tillmanite delegates to 1
be careful how they follow some of the
pretended leaders of their faction, for
by so doing they may commits acts of
gross injustice and at the same time
violate the constitation which is the
accepted law of the party. When &n
injustice is done, feeling is created,
and political feeling usually culminates
in bitterness.
We arge all delegates of both fac
tions to eschew all bitterness, ail issues
which create bitterness, and all ques
tions that do not constitute integral
parts of the work of the convention.
Let the work of the convention be con
ducted in a calm and orderly manner.
Let no heed be paid to the machina
tions of the extremists, let exact jus
tice be done to every man, and above
all things do not let partisan feeling
get the upper hand of your judgment.
We have confidence in a majority of
the delegates from both factions, and
believe that when they see matters in
the true light, will take no extreme
action and do no man or faction injus
tice for personal or factional ac! vantage.
~~ CLAP-TRAP;
Tillman is making the present carn
paig on clap-trsp and profanity and
appears to disregard facts and argument
entirely.
Listen to him. At Greenville when
speaking on the free pass matter he
said : They say I made a mistake.
Well, our humble Saviour, the lowly
Nazarene, when something of this sort
was said, repeated: "Let him who
is without sin among you cast the first
stone." If James L. Orr had never
ridden on a free pass or if he was not
president of a factory that is working
poor men and women thirteen hours a
day wiih only forty five minutes for
dinner?[Colonel Orr, interrupting:
' That ?m not tree.**]
If Orr were wo: king factory bauds
24 hours per day and allowed them
only ten minutes for dinner what bear
ing would that have on Tillman hav
iog accepted a free pa.*s after having
gone from one end of the Siate to the
other denouncing his predecessors for
using free pasi-es and openly saving
that any one <y-ing a free pass was
guilty of corruption. He himself was j
the first to cast a 8iar;e and now he
dares to quote scripture to those who
mention that he is guilty of the same
act that he denounced as a crime iu
others.
Bat the handr of the Piedmont Mills
are not woiked lo hours per day and;
allowed only 45 minutes for dinner, and
Tillman is once again caught in the
very act of making a false statement.
It is the veriest'clap-trap, and the easily
discernible intention of it is to arouse
in the minds of the unthinking a pre
judice against Orr on account of his
occupation.
All sensible men know that every
factory that is built in the State is a
God-send to the laboring classes for it
gives them regular work at better
wages than they had previously been
able to obtain. Their children receive
good education in schools supported by
the factories, and in numbers of in
stances medical attention is furnished
all factory bands and paid for out of
the funds of the company. This does
not look like the owners of the factories
were oppressing operatives.
He tries to arouse prejudice against
Sheppard because he is a bank president.
He insinuates that Sbeppard has used his
position to ?nfiuence votes in Edgefieid
County. But Sheppard dared him on the 1
very ground to make that charge and
called upon the crowd to say that they
had ever heard of his using bis position
to gain political in?uenoe, and no one
replied. Seme more clap trap.
Everybody knows that banks are
blessings to the country. Merchants as
well as farmers are fbenefitted by the
banks, and it would be a sorry day if
the banks should be abolished.
Tillman says that the reason he did
not sign the tax extension bit! was
because he wanted to scare the tax.
papers into paying, as the interest on
the bonds was almost doe. When asked
why he did not scare himself into pay
ing his own txaes, he said that the
questioner must be a fool for he could
not scare himself when he knew what
was coming. More clap-trap.
He denounces Orr bitterly for voting
for Willard, the Bepoblican Judge who
decided that Hampton was legally elec
ted. Does be believe that it was a
crime ? Then a majority of the Wallace j
House were also guilty and all of the
leaders of '76 are likewise guilty for
they sanctioned the act.
Let the campaign be made on the
record of the Tillman administration and
not on clap-trap.
The Edgefieid Meeting.
Between 2,000 and 2,500 oeople
heard here today the second joie discus
sion of the campaign. The crowd was
a thoroughly representative one, com
ing from all parts of the county and
included many ladies whose presence fail
ed to keep Tillmao's language within the
bounds ot decency. He frequently
swore "By G.">d" and used much pro
fanity. The gathering was entirely
good natured and, with a few unworthy
exceptions, sober. jSot a single fight
occurred during the .five hours the
speaking lasted. The crowd was about
evenly divided, for when Tillman called
for a band primary fully halt of those
present did not respond. Sheppard bad
an enthusiastic reception, and it
was generally conceded that he won
more applause than any of the speak
ers.
The throng, led by a negro brass
band, arrived at the grounds at 11
o'clock. stand had been erected and
was occupied by Gov. R. Tillman,
Ex-Gov. Jno. C. Sheppard, Col. Jas. L.
Orr, Attorney General J L. McLaurin,
Col. L W. Youtnans, Secretary of State
Jas. E Tiudal, W. W. Dixon and seve
ral others.
The meeting was called to order
by Krnesi Gary, as chairman, aud
nrayer was offered for a ruler who fears
God.
Chairman Gary introduced as the
first speaker Governor Tillman. An
enthusiastic reception was tendered the
governor and. when the applause had
died out he began in a slow and delib
erate manner to speak. He compared
himself to Rob Roy, the Scotch outlaw
and free hooter,?"my foot is on my
native heath aud my name is McGregor''
?aod laid claim to the same undying
sense of liberty that characterized that
gentleman. He boasted greatly of bis
immaculate and spotless character and
said those loved him best who knew
him best. He was for the first time in
his life a candidate. He came to ask
them to re-elect him governor. (Great
applause and cries of "We'll do it.")
He threshed out again the old straw
about the recent March convention be
ing the ojtgrowth of Haskellism, and
read numerous newspaper clippings to
prove it. He paid his respects at con
siderable length to banks, rail roads,
factories, corporations in general, A.
B. Williams, N. G. Gonzales aod
everybody else who has dared to oppose
or criticise him. He blamed the oppo
sition newspapers aud the "driftwood"
legislature as entirely responsible for
his failure to carry out his promises.
He had ? spat with Sheppard about
the accuracy of some figures submit
ted by Sheppard in Greenville, but
Sheppard held his ground. He said,
in explaining his accepting a free office
after having repeatedly declared he
wanted noue, by saying he was the
only man in South Carolina with brains
and nerve enough to lead the farmers
to success, lie gave Joo. C. Haskell
and the newspapers credit for bambooz
ling the last legislature and causing it
to defeat every bill introduced if it was
called an administration measure.
He took up a newspaper account of
Col. Orr's speech at Laurens aod criti
cised it severely and bitterly. He de
clared that the recent purchase of the
agriculture hall was simply a scheme to
saddle off Ofc the people the Blue Ridge
scrip. He had for ooe time run over
the law, and in placing a guard io the
build?Dg he had laid himself personally
liabk for a suit of ?10,000, which was
now pending, but he did not believe if
he lost it he would have to pay it. The
people would pay it, because he had
done it to protect them from robbery.
Lie reiterated his profane preference
for hell to heaven if his companions
could he Ti 11 manijes, lie made no
pretiosions to religion, anil was not a
member of (he B-tptist church who

Sheppard knew that in h o newt y. vir- j
te?* and truth he was not Tillman's
ripal The governor spoke exactly
two hours and made probity the hoi- '
test speech of his life. Sometimes his
lips fairly trembled with rage and he
gesticulated furiously. He closed amid
great applause.
After again pleading for good order
and attention, Chairman Gary intro
duced Governor Sheppard, Sheppard
declared that any man who claimed to
be his superior in honesty, virtue or
truth spoke a flat falsehood. At this
Tillrnan looked sour, but said nothing.
Re said Tillrnan was only trying to pre
judice them by telling them this iicket
was a Haskell ticket. He assured them
that it was not, but that when this
fight is over the democratic partv will
remain solid Tillrnan was tryicg to
hide his record under a bushel.
He scored the governor severely for |
his failures and misdeeds and his men
tion of the free pass incident elicited
loud applause. He submitted the
figures of expenses during previous
administrations and the present one,
proving conclusively that Tillrnan had
increased expenses.
Tillrnan wanted to increase the poll
tax to $3. This was unjust to the
poor man. Tillrnan had vetoed a
stringent rail road law protecting the
people from encroachments of the rail
roads. They were down on bank
presidents.
He asked if there was a single man in
the crowd who had been oppressed by
Sbeppard's bank, and no one answered.
Tillrnan had accused him of doing
nothing for farmers while speaker or
lieutenant governor. Everybody knew
that the presiding officer of a body
could not offer a bill. Tillrnan had
congratulated him on his message to the
legislature.
Several efforts were made to howl the
speaker down, but his own followers
yelled just as lustily as tbe Tillmanites.
Tillrnan here arose and said be was the
cause of Mr. Sheppard writing that mes
sage.
Sheppard a<ked if Tillrnan could com
plain of Orr haviog voted for a republi
can when he binidf was nominated by a
convention containing two republicans
and bad recently employed a republican
lawyer, Judge Melton.
Tillrnan again got up to explain that
be preferred a republican to a Haukell
itc. j
Sheppard said thst every time he
hit Tillrnan he had to get up and ex
plain.
Sheppard spoke of a malicious lie
published in (he Columbia Register
that he would only lend money from
i his bank to those who would promise to
support him against Tillrnan. He
turned to tbe Register's correspondent
and denounced it as the slander of a
viper aod a liar. He asked if any
man ia the audience bad ever known
htm to do such a thing, and was ?
answered loudly "no." His last wish
would be, he said, fur the uuity of the
democratic party and the supremacy of
the Anglo Saxon race. Governor
Sheppard closed amid enthusiastic and
prolonged applause. He spoke just
one hour.
The chairman then introduced Attor
ney General McLaurin who made a
short speech, which failed to arouse any
enthusiasm whatever
Col. Jas L Orr was tbe next speaker
Several tiu.es attempts were make to
bowl bim down, but he declared he
had come to talk and was g"ing to do
it. He asked them to reason and think
for themselves.
He, too, denounced tbe attempts
made to prejudice the people against the
peace aud unity ticket on the ground
thst it was Haskeliism. Sheppard and
himself had done everything iu their
power io elect Tillrnan after be was
nominiated
Tillrnan bad expressed contempt
for him because he was running for
office. If Tillrnan was running for !
a $3,500 salary and he for one of $300 |
which deserved the more contempt ?
Tillrnan had said he would save the
State $100,000 the first y?iar and he
has not saved a dollar. He ?aid he
would reduce every salary and abolish
useless officers and had not done it.
It was an outrage oo justice that so
many lawyers had been employed to as
sist the attorney general. Tillrnan had
used the agricultural hall affair for po
litical capital.
Coionel Orr explained his vote for
Willard, a republican, for the supreme
beoch by saying.
There is no man io the State I
love better than Judge McGowan. I
studied law in his office aod he bas
been like a father to me. I did not
even know Willard personally. But I
voted for him to pay a political debt
that the Democratic party made when
they promised to let Willard serve out
the balance of his term, about a year,
in consideration of his help in putting
uur people io power. I believe a
political debt is just as sacred as any
other debt, because my honor and my
politics are the same as my business and
my politics. A large majority of the
Democrats composing the Wallaoe House
voted for Willard, as I did, and you
see what this blowing amounts to.
The negro Sam Johnson supported
Hampton. He was not a Republican,
ae Tillrnan tells you. He carried 1,800
colored votes for Hampton in Ander
son.
he again taunted Tilintan that the
alliance had dried him up at Spartan
burg and he had not opeued his mouth
about the sub-treasury since.
Secretary of State Tindal, Solicitor
Perry Murphy, Adjutant General Far
ley and W. W. Dixoo followed with
speeches.
Sheppard and Orr developed consid
erable strength today and the conserva
tives feel greatly encouraged.?Green

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, April 25, 1892.
Mr. Harrison's visit to New York
this week, while ostensibly for the pur
pose of attending the laying of the
corner stone of the Grant monument, is
in reality for the purpose uf Kettling the
question of his candidacy for a renom
ination. He will carry with him the
two men who were taken into the cabinet
Solely to bring his renomioatico?Sec
retaries Foster and Elkins?and while
there these political manipulators will
meet the republican bosses of New York
and other States aud try to make bar
gains wiih them. Secretary Foster has
just returned from Ohio, where he went
to lay Harrison wires, and there is
reason for believing, although he main
tains to the contrary, that he found the
anti-Harrison sentiment too strong for
him, and that the Ohio delegation will
cj<? to Minneapolis uniustructed. With
such states as Pennsylvania and Ohio
sending uniustructed delegations, it
becomes necessary for Mr. Harrison to
capture the New York delegation or
throw up the sponge.
Scnatur Teller is> doiug all ho knows 1
how to do to make himself disagreeable
to the administration. Not satisfied
with charging Mr. Harrison with bav
iog been in league with the money
power lobby to defeat the free coinage
bill the House, he knocked the bottom
out of a very nice little scheme which
Mr. Harrison has been concocting for
electioneering purposes by offering a
resolution, which was adopted by the
Senate, calling upon the President for
information as to what steps have been
taken toward the holding of an inter
national monetary conference, and for
copies of all correspondence with gov
ernments invited to participate therein.
Senator Sherman made a hole for Mr.
Harrison to crawl out by amending the
resolution by adding *'if not incom
patible with the public interests," but
Mr. Teller intimates that Mr. Harrison
would better Dot try to make use of it.
It is koown that Mr. Harrison has had
secret agents at work for months trying
to get the European governments to
agree to take part in such a conference,
and it is said that they have succeeded
in getting a number of them to do so,
and that the conference is to be held
when it will do the republican party the
most good?just before the election
when all sorts of promises can be made
as to what it will do.
Senator Palmer has announced him
self a candidate for the Presidential
nomination, and he says he will endea
vor to secure the support of the entire
Illinois delegation.
Senator Call has offered a resolution
whiob, if adopted and carried out, would
get together some very valuable infor
mation. It provides for the appointment
of a committee to inquire into the pres
ent value per mile of the railways of the
U. S., their present capitalization and
the difference between such capitaliza
tion and their aetaal cost; their gross
and net receipts ; number and compen
sation of employes, amount of bonded
indebtedness aod capital and stock ; and
a list of stockholders and bondholders,
giving their residences.
The Senate, in its usual ponderous
way is discussing the House Chinese
exclusion bill.
The republicans are tryiog hard to
make party capital out of the democratic
vote by which Representative Rockwell,
of New York, was retained in his seat,
notwithstanding the report of a majority
of the Elections committee in favor of
the contestant. Representative McMti
l?n, of Tennessee, voiced the general
democratic as well as the common sense
view when he said of it : "I cannot see
bow it can affect the democratic party.
It was a case upon which men cocld
honestly differ and which they did
differ. Mr. Rockwell had the advantage
of the skill with which his case was
presented, and there were many minds
that were not made up until the final
presentation of the case. The very
length of the debate and the perfect
freedom which marked it was sufficient
to show the country that the democratic
House was willing to listen to every
phase of the case."
Some gossip has been caused by the
report tbat Mr. Blaine was very
brusque in his refusal of the invitation
to accompany Mr. Harrison and the
administration party which is to go to
New York tomorrow evening to take
part in laying the corner stone o* the
Grant monument, ou Wednesday Mr.
Blaine is at least consistent } the. was
never any love displayed by him for
General Grant in bis life-time, and be
declines to make a pretense of it over
his grave.
Senator Voorhees says of the plat
form adopted by the Indiana demo
cratic convention: "It is a sound plat
form, embracing tariff reform and a
currency of gold and silver and legal
tender paper (greenbacks) on an equal
ity with each other. This is the old 1
democratic platform, aod no new depar
ture toward Wall Street." He adds that
the State ticket is a splendid one, with
a practical farmer at its bead, and that
it is certain to sweep the State into the
d?mocratie column this year.

But it's because the medicine is different,
that it's sold differently. It's not like the
