National chairman in tbe person of Thomas H. Carter, of Montana. They are etitt begging for a Secretary. There probably were more people In atten dance no. tbe campaign speaking today, than attended church in all tbe churches of tbe county last Sunday. The heart of the aver age citizen is more in politics these da/8 than ja religio*. We te-puWish from the Freemen, re marks of Vs. H. R. Thomas in regard to his charges against Mr. Purdy. A communlcn eiaa from Mr. Thomas respecting our remarks . ia last week's issue, has unfortunately been crowded oat by a pressure of other matter and the lateness of tbe boar and length of the letter. It will appear next week. We have been assured by Mr. Pardy that he has said all he is going to say. The regularly appointed campaign meet ing was held io.Manning yesterday, and will be held here to-day. Arrangements for peace aad quiet bare'been made at both places, and we sincerely trust that there will be no need to chronicle disturbances at either of tbe meetings. Oar readers shall have the benefit of accounts of both meetings next week. We go to' press toe early to give a report of .either of them \a this issue. CAMPAIGN MEETING. "Rvery precaution was taken by those in charge to make Campaign Day, in, Sumter not only a s access bat a credit to the coanty. Business booses were closed during the speaking, saloons were not open at all untt? tbe meeting had jonraed, the city had special police and each club had at least one man delegated with fall authority to keep the peace. Tbe platform was more securely constructed than last years, and no one but the speakers, city council, reporters, commit tee men, and a few "shining iights" were permitted to occupy it. Tbe meeting was called to order by Coanty Chairman Keels at 11 o'clock, and after prayer by Rev. Mr. Stokes. Chairman Keels "made a few remarks appealing for good order ?ad a respectful hearing of all speakers. He then introduced Gen. Moise, candidate for Congress in this district, who made the first a*eech. (Sot. Tillman followed next?being intro duced by R. M. Wilson?and is speaking at the time of closing oar forms. The meeting has been uneventful, with lit tie enthusiasm, bnt characterized tbas far by good order and dignified attention to all that has bee i said. A few cheers for Tillman and an occasional rejoinder to some of the {governor's remarks are interjected. Tillman feelSeved that all the cheers for Sheppard were on account of hatred for Tillman, and mot for love of Sheppard or because tbey en dorsed his politics?it is impossible, be said At the band-primary about one-fourth of the crowd held up bands for Tillman, and these occupied tbe space nearest tbe stand. Tbe .'Sheppard sympa ibizersrefused to join in the primary. MR. PITTS' LETTER. Ia reply to Mr. Pitts we wish to say that when tbe article be criticises was written, 'the action of tbe Rich land Executive Commit tee had not been made known, even if it had been taken. We agree with Mr. Pitts that their action is equally worthy of censure as 'thai of Laorfns and Greenville. We observe 'this, however, that Senator Irby repudiates the Tillman?Sheppard agreement, and that *be action of Laarens and Greenville was Inspired by him, he being openly and avow edly in favor of Tillman, although he holds the position of Chairman of tbe State Demo cratic party. A violent partisan, himself, he advocates, practically, no mercy to tbe other side. Mr. Pitts should bear this in mind. With reference to Got. Richardson's action two years ago, in appointing all the Commis sioners from tbe <;Anti" side, we thought thee aad think now that it was not "toting fair." Bnt it should be remembered that no sacb condition of things existed then, prior to that election, as has existed since, and that all tbe Governor was then called upon to do, was to appoint good and honest managers of election. Bnt now, when the issues are sharply defined, and tbe lines closely drawn, both sides are entitled, in our judgment, to equal representation on managerial boards. Especially so when the candidates united in requesting that such action should be taken. We cannot see that tbe cases are parallel. When Mr Pitts says we accuse tbe Tillman ites of 08iog tactics employed by tbe radicals, from 1868 to 1876, and proceeds to comment on it, be employs perfectly legitimate argu ment, and makes a neat retort. We cede tbe point, hat we go further. We say that the use of such tactics by either faction is a resort to methods an worthy of men who for eight long and terrible years fought and condemned such methods, when employed against them, with all tbe force and vehemence of their nature. Tbey are no les3 unworthy now, but infinitely more so, when employed against one another, by the men who then stood side by side, and shoulder to shoulder. THE COMING CONFLICT. Powderly on the Situation. I Baltimore Sun j Philadelphia, July 12?A special from Wilkesbarre says: Terence V. Powderly, general master workman of the Knights of Labor, is back from Omaha, and inan inter view today severely criticised Governor Pat terson for sending troops to Homestead. He says this is not a distinctive Knights of Labor fight, bnt if ealled on be will proceed at once to Home?lead. "Tbe fight," continoed Powderly, "is but tbe rambling of tbe coming revolution that is to say whether Wall street shall or shall not i control tne country. It is the fight of labor, and tbe labor organizations of the country should stand firmly at tbs back of these mvn who are fighting at homestead. If it must be a protracted struggle the farmers of tne country atone will furnish provisions enough to keep those men for ten years, if necessary, for tbey are acting with the Knights of Labor jraw, and tbrocgb tbe Koights with organized labor in genera!." The above, if true, is important It will be observed that Mr. Powderly claims that tbe formers of the country are now acting with tbe Knights of Labor, and throagb the Knights with organized labor in general. So far as as are able to interpret this language, it mease that tbe Farmers Alliance is actiog j F with organized labor in general, because that j M is tbe aniy organization that we know of ' H among the farmers that would enable them to B net as an organism with other organizations. 7 Individual farmers sympathizing with other E 'jabocers coe'd not te spoken of a* "the far- a SBers of the country." Mr, Powderly mu?t cc jherefore mean something more than indivi- 1 n?-i>i*iaiiu? ou ihe pua u* the tanning ? community. Is it true that the farmers in their organized capacity, whether as alliance fit?n or otherwise, have struck hands with the Knights of Labor and with organized labor in general? If so, it is not difficult to see how that io the near future, the sinister predictions of Ignatius Donnelly, Henry George, and the Socialists in general, will be realized, and how the next irrepressible conflict which this coun try shall witness, will be that between organ*, ired (and perhaps) armed labor and organ ized (and perhaps) armed capital. THE CARNEGIE STRIKES. The presence at Homestead of over 5,000 troops produced a very quieting effect on the strikers. The Carnegie Company offers to tale the old men back. Some of them will probably return to work, but the leaders are opposed to it, and clatm that the company cannot start their mills with any other work era than tt*>se now in Homestead. Some talk is going on of organizing a "provisional regi ment" to remain in Homestead after the main force has been withdrawn. The plan among the strikers seems to be to await the with drawal of the troops, t ud then proceed to en force their demands at iost tbey may. Mean time the cost to the State of Penney ! vania is something over $20.000 per diem for the sol diers, and some of the newspapers are begin ning to kick about it. O'Dounell and other leaders affirm that the fight has Just com menced, and that the men will never give in after so short a struggle. OGILVIE REPENTS. J. W. Ogilrie, Cal. Canghman and Tom Seay, were the chief disturbers at the Lexing ton campaign speaking. Now, Ogilvi? comes np like a little man and apologizes through the columns of the Lexington Dispatch for the part he took in the said disturbances, express ing his deep regret for the same. Good for Ogi?Tie S Now for Cal. and Tom ! While the lamp holds out to burn, The vilest sinner may return. Ogilrie has, we suspect, a thinner skin than either of the others, but upon whatever basis we account for it, it is nevertheless cre ditable to him that he has made amends in a3 public a manner as he committed the original offence. As we published Mr. Ogiivie last week as a stalwart offender, we take pleasure in publishing him now as a contrite penitent. ENGLAND'S ELECTIONS. An analysis of the latest returns of the voting in England gives as the number of! members of Parliament thus far returned, 652. This leaves only 18 results yet nnder clared. The Parliament will probably con sist of 355 Gladstonian8 and 315 Unionists. The popular vote is, Gladstonian, 2,199, 544; Unionist, 2,004,292. The cost of the prfsent election amounts to $12,500,000, of which a very large proportion went for bri bery. It is said that Mr. Gladstone's majority is dependent on the Irish members, who are j notoriously unmanageable, and not to be depended on. It is also said that Mr. Parnell kept bis men together when tne party purse was full by personal payments at regular in tervals ; otherwise the members went borne to attend to their private business. It is signi ficantly added that if American subscriptions shall freely continue daring the final crisis, "the Home Rule party will be wonderfully heartened and strengthened." It is not an ticipated that the Gladstonians will actually :ome into official power before October, when it is expected that the new government will ievlare its program. If this prediction be fulfilled, it is believed tbat Mr. Gladstone will lot begin the work of legislation until next jpring. - IRBY TO DIBBLE. The followiog is a copy of a letter written jy Senator John L. M. Irby chairman of the State democratic executive committee, to the Son. Samuel Dibble in reply to questions *hich have already been given publication : Ion. Samuel Dibble, Chairman, 4c, Oracgeburg, S. C. Dear Sir: While in Columbia a few days igo I received jour communication at the unds of Mr. Watson, of date July 4tb, 1892. Sickness and basin tec bare prevented a reply intil now. I beg to say tbat I know of no bird party in South Carolina, notwiths tanding a great deal has teen said about ine. I therefore, conclude that any white nan known to be a democrat who takes the ibligation at the time be votes at the primary lection will and ought to be permitted to 'Ote whether he baa hitherto favored a third arty, or has been an independent, Haskelltte, >r now favors prohibition, woman's suffrage ir otherwise. The State democratic axecntive committee trill meet Tuesday, the 26tb iost., at 8 p.m. at Columbia, at which time this and other [ue8tioos will be considered by it and specially the question of appointing more b?n three managers to conduct the primary lection. I can not say what the executive ommittee will do, but for myself I respectfully tay that if you, as the representative of any lemocrats, wbo have grievances, aek a hear ng, it will be granted ; but I can not, and I ' eel satisfied the committee will not, feel li8posed to bear you or any other person in South Carolina discuss propositions in which rou are not directly aggrieved. The demo cratic executive committee feel satisfied that t is competent to carry out the orders of the ; State democratic convention, and the mandate >ftbe State Constitution without interference rr suggestion from any one. We are not dis used to convert the State democratic execu ;ive committee into a debating ?ociety for guee ions of imaginary grievances. Very respect 'ully your obedient servant. (Signed) Jno. L. M Ibbv. Chairman State Dem. Ex. Com. State Chairman Irby gets off the foregoing itiff reply the F?on. Sam'l Dibble, Chairman >f the Cocseavatives. Mr. Irby evidently esent3 interference or suggestion from any tcurces outside of those with which he is in lympathy. He seems to have the conscious less or conviction that he can r.fford to "talk >ig" as being on the winning side, and gives Hr. Dibble but scant encou-agement. We vould like to 9ee Mr. Dibble's letter, to jfhich the present effnsion is a reply. The one of the reply i3 an excellent illustration of be feeling of mutual distrust tbat is so char tcteristic of the present campaign. The aggressiveness of it, and especially of the talicised words, show that Mr. Dibble's ommunication must have etung somewhat. rVinciog, under such circumstance1', is good , roof of a sore 3pot somewhere in Mr. Irby's | al!ou3 corporosity. He does say. however, hat if Mr. Dibble has a real grievance to resent?the executive committee being the ldges of its reality?he will be heard on 2Gth nst. when the committee holds its meeting to onsider especially thef question of appointing lore than three managers to conduct the rimary election. - ?' 1 - . .1 knnual Meeting of the Press Asso ciation. The absorbing interest now being taken i the political situation undoubtedly had inch to do with the small attendance at the .nnunl Meeting of the So->'b Caroliua State ress Association held at Anderson on the tb, 7tb and 8?h instants. There were only ?out twenty nismbera present, among whom j ere the familiar fi?ure3 of Rev. Sid i H. 1 rown, of The Christian Neighbor, Major ranz Meicher of The Zietung, Mnjor M. B. | cSweeney of The Hampton Guardian, Mr. j I ago Wilson, of the Abbeville Press and I Anner. Mr C. H. Prince, of the Florence I , imes and Col. J A. Hoyt, of the Greenville < 'nterprU* and Mountaineer withuot whom not | meeting of the Press Association would be ] >mple'e j , Mi-. Virginia P Y"?ng, o*" tho Al'end<ile i nler-ipi ise, the only lady member ot the asso- 1 dation was present and attended every ses sion. Tbe members of tbe Association assembled in Opera Hooseon Wednesday evening, where in tbe presence of an audience of Anderson's hospitable citizens, an address of welcome was delivered by Mayor Tolly and responded to by President W. H. Wallace, in behalf of the Press. Mayor Tolly by his sincere and ear nest manner, convinced the visitors that his words of welcome were but the overflow of hospitality from the hearts of tbe people of Anderson, and that tbey were truely welcome within their gates. President W. H. Wallace, of the Ntwberry Obxcrccr called the meeting to order on Thurs day morning; and tbe Chaplain, Rev. Sidi H. Brown, invoked the blessing of God on all tbe transactions of tbe body. In his prayer he mentioned, with bumble gratitude, that during the year past no member of the Asso ciation had been called away from his labors for humanity here, to take up the eternal ser vices of his Maker above. Three applicants for membership were ad mitted : Gen. B. M. Law, of the Yorkville Enter prise, Mr. W. W. Ball, of the Laurens Adver tiser and Hubert G. Osteen, of the Watchman and Southron. Papers were read, by previous assignment, by Hart we 11 M. Ayer, of tbe Florence Times, "How to Conduct a Controversy," and Hugh Wilson, "Country Editor as a Printer and Journalist." Eaeh paper was generally dis cussed, and by the exchange of opinions mu tual benefit undoubtedly resulted. At an adjonrned meeting Thursday after noon Mrs. Vriginia 0. Young read an elaborate and vigorous paper in favor of absolute suf frage for women. All tbe arguments in favor j of Woman's suffrage were brought out in the strongest light, and with the utmost eameast ness. and it was conceded that Mrs. Young made tbe most of the case in band. I Gen. E. M. Law, the Annual Orator, de livered one of the most chaste and eloquent I addresses on the duties of a newspaper man as a moral factor and exponent of public opinion of the community in which his lot may be cast, that it bas been cur pleasure to hear. His conception of the work and duty of an editor is so true and pure, that were it practiced universally, the power and influence of the press would be solely for good, and the re sulting elevation of public sentiment would be felt all over our State. Gen. Law's address concluded, an adjourn ment was made to the dining room of the Chiquola, where a banquet, tendered by the citizens of Anderson, and prepared" under tbe experienced direction of Capt. W. H. White, was in readiuess. Tbe banquet was complete and elegant in every detail, and was served with the most admirable skill. Tbe follow ing is the Menou, which is so unique in con ception and design as to merit repetition : CHIQUOLA'S GREETING TO TO PRESS ASSOCIATION.

Sullivan, President of tbe Board of Trade, acted as Toast Master, and in calling the assemblage to order, previous to announc ing tbe toasts, made a brief bnt pointed speech. Mr. Sullivan bas tbe voice, flow of language and presence that make an orator, and his speech wai received with enthusiasm. The toasts were announced as followers : Tbe South Carolina State Press Associa tion?Representative of public thought, and non-partisan in character, it is a body of men that asks no favors a;id bas no foes?Respond ed to by President W. iL Wallace. The City of Anderson^?Progressive and prosperous, she ever welcome merit, and proudly entertains a worthy gu&t?Respond ed to by Mayor J. F. Tolly. The Fourth Estate? "Mightiest of the mighty means, On which the arm of progress leans, Man's noblest mission to advance, His woes assuage, bis weal enhance, His rights enforce, his wrongs redress? Mighiest of mighty is The Press,' Responded to oy Col. J. A. Hoyt. South Carolina?Her safety and prosperity commands onr utmost patriotism?Responded to by Geo. E. Prince, E*q. Woman?"The Star in the West?She ever chines in her sphere, and holds our admira tion for what she is and what she does."? Responded to by W. W. Ball. The spetche* were all appropriate and ear nest and in several instances eloquent. After the regular toasts quite a number of gentle men spoke in response to calls by the assem blage. At a late hour the assemblage dispers ed, replete with satisfaction, and with a fuller appreciation of Anderson's hospitality than could have been obtained iu any other man ner. At 9 o'clock Friday morning the visiting newspaper men were driven over the city in carriages under the conduct of prominent ciiizeas It was our good fortune to be as signed to the care of Bro. Langston, who on this, a* during the entire meeting of the As sociation was untiring in his efforts to enter tain us. All the points of interest in the city were visited, and it can be said without in dulging in flattery that there is not a prettier or more progrssive appearing city in the State. Anderson has a complete sysiem of water works that furnish an abundance of clear, pure water ; ao electric light plant that lights the city and business hou<ves ; numerous handsome residences surrounded by beautiful grounds and well kept lawnp, and a hotel? the Chiquola?that is not equalled in the State Tbe Chiquola is an impossing struct ure of preosed brick with granite trimmings, four stories iu height aud handsomely fur nished throughout. This hotel is the especial pride of Anderson, aud a city thre? times the sizf of Anderson would have just cause for taking pride in such an o*ject. Capt. W. H. White, an old hotel man. manages the Chiquola and thp perfect accommodations that he gives is evidence of years of experience. At a mating on Friday morning the old olfirera were re-elected aud the Constitution and By-Laws amended. The selection of a place of meeting for next year and the election of an orator were left to tbe Executive Committee. A Committee consisting of Secretary C. H. Prince, Col. J. A. Hoyt nud M??j. W. B. Mc Sweeney, were appointed to arrange for an excursion to succeed the next meeting. It is very probable that the excursion will he to Chicago and tbe Worlds Fair, a3 the senti ment of those present was entirely in that direction. Resolutions were introduced, by Hartwell M. Ayer, Chairman of the Committee on Re solution, express.ve of the appreciation of the Association of the courtesies received from the citizens of Anderson, and the railroads, and un:iraimously adopted. After providing for the publication of the minute? of the mating the Association ad journed, subject to the call of the Executive Committee. Little remaioe" to be said, save that the meeting was t?oth profitable and pleasant to tbe writer. Profitable in ideas and inspira tion received from association with news paper men, who have made the business a lif'-work and study ; pleasant on account of the acquaintance.-hip formed, and social con verse enjoyed.
