WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2J 1892. T?f Sui?ter Watchman was founded in 18V0 and the IVwe Southron in 1866. The .faickman and Southron now has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is mani festly the best ad vert isi d g medium in Samter. EDIT OB AL NOTES. The Election is next Tuesday. Be at the polls early aod stay late. Gen, ?dlai Stevenson has issued his letter of acceptance. It is the worthy complement te Cleveland's. Quay has taken charge of the Re publican campaign. The case was get ting desperate aod they appealed to the man, who bought the election of 1888, io belp them in their extremity. The sporting men of the North, who bet lor what there is to be made out of it, are giving big odds on Cleveland. Michail Dwyer, the owner of the greai racing stables has put up $20.000 thai: Cleveland will carry New York. t The genius of our budding poet, "TP." whose lines appear ia our col umns today, would doubtless be highly appreciated by the manufacturers of eith er Pears or Ivory. If so, both fortuoe and fame are his. The Republican idea of civil service reform is to squeeze all the money possible out of office holders to be used lor campaign purposes. A few days age they dropped down on the federal office holders in Columbia ao4 forced them to ante up $10 each. In the .appointment of rallying committees there is another duty that should be imposed upon them in -* addition to getting out the voters. A record should be kept of all third party voiers. Such information wnl he of value two years hence. There is a big strike of cotton factory operatives imminent in Manchester and Liverpool'. It is probable that 52,000 spinners will go out, but efforts are befog made to settle the matter by arbi tration. The pri?e of cotton will de cline if the strike does take place. Now is the time to look up registra tion certificates-. Get the registration certificates in hand and don't fail to vote the straight Democratic ticket, National, State, and County. You are pledged to- do so, and there is more reason to- vote new than at any election atnee )8?&. The presence of two vessels of the U. S. Navy in Charleston harbor for j th? p?rpese of assisting in the GUIs Week celebrations is an evidence that sectional feeling is at last beginning to die out. The bitter south-Sating papers of the north are making a -big howl over it; aod seem to think it time to start another war. \ Next week we will give a short history of the Tiilman movement. It is-written by W. H. Wallace, of the Newberry Observer, one of the ablest and fairest men connected the press of South", parolina. De goes to the bottom of the whole matter, and produces the facts- to substantiate every statement. President Harrison, through attorney General Miller, has issued an order to Federal Supervisors to take charge of elections. This means that the Repub licans intend to steal the doubtful States, if possible. The Democrats are not' in a humor this year to permit a repetition of the frauds of 76. Any such attempt wHl occasion trouble. *?be Aiken Joumel aud Review iesfebd fast week a handsomely printed trade review of the City of Aiken.

The trade issue . reflects credit on the publishers sad will do the City of Aiken an incalculable amount ! of good. -**Ths Darlington Beraid suggest that [ Attorney General McLanria open up a I shooting gallery when he gets to Con- [ gress. He will certainly do so, and ?r e red-hot shot of Democracy and j truth into Republican ranks. McLau rin is not an old worn-out smootb-bore. bat a regular oratorical gatlin gun.? Col ambia Register. Yes, aod he totes a s;x-shoo?er in his hip pocket. Mr. W. A. Dowliog, of Darlington County, whose name appeared as one of the signers of Bcwden ? Third Party address has published a card saying that he did not sign the document ami that whoever placed hie name there did ao without authority. He concludes by saying : "I propose to stand by the Democratic Party and advocate within the party the selection of men who represent my principles, but I will sop port the nominees even should they be nof my individual choice.** Watson of Georgia, is beginning to make a fool of himself along with his demagoguery. A few nights ago he summoned to if is home a large crowd of armed Third Partyites, on the pretense of protecting a negro agitator named Doyle, whom Watson was harboring. There was no disturbance in the town of Thomson at the time, but notwith standing tbi> Watson made a big rum pus and had it telegraphed all over the country that the Democrats wanted to lynch Doyle. G rover Cleveland never fails to put bis thought? ia the tersest and most striking language, and whatever he says has the ring of trae democracy. The following paragraph is from his i letter of acceptance.- It contains a ser- j mob in a single sentence. "Paternal-; a iu government finds no approval in the creed of democracy. It U a system of misrule, whether it is mani fested in unauthorised gifts, or in un warranted control of personal and fam ily affairs." "When J. D. Blandiog was Demo cratic <$h airman of Su m ter county that county was good for seven or eight hundred Democratic majority. Now tbe Tillmanitc county chairman reports that it is going to be* carried for Harri son. Way? Scplaoatioos are in order. Tbe Conservatives are all for Cleveland : are the Tillmanitee going to support Harrison ?"?The State. The only explanation oeecessary is to say that Sumter County will not go for Harrison, unless many of those who claimed to be Democrats vote for Weaver. Patrick Egan, Harrison's minister to Chile, is mad with Hon. Wayne McVeagh for saying that hie appoint ment was an insult to Chile. Egan published an open letter denouncing McVeagh in nn measured terms as a slanderer and a renegade from the Republican party. McVeagh replied in a satirically polite letter, stating that bit remark was based on charges of dis honesty aod fraud of nine years stand ing, made by Whitelaw Keid in tbe columns of the New York Tribune, and that a s Mr. Egan had never corrected these charges, he Mr. McVeagh, bad concluded that they were true. Egan either has to transfer his charge of slan der to the Republican candidate for Vice Presideot, or shot op. Aoother fallare to manufacture campaign mate jrial. Having lived in Tom Watson's die* trict for more than a year daring 1890 91, we are somewhat familiarly acquaint ed with his political history. Eis methods of campaigning, aod the ji means he used to arouse class feeliog, which he turned to bis owo advan tage, were identical with those used by Tillman, Ir by, Taibert and others of that ilk. He claimed to be a Dem ocrat aod harped on the principles of tbe Alliance ; he talked about tbe op pression of country by town, tbe vil lainy of backs aod aooey lenders, be had much to say abovt aristocrats and plutocrats as compared to tbe common I people. The result was that, at tbe ! Democratic primary Watson was over whelmingly elected and Barnes retired to private life. The condition? being now changed Watson finds it impossible to longer masquerade as a Democrat, and knowing his defeat in a D?mocratie primary to be a certainty, be proclaims himself a third partyite and appeals to tbe negro vote, neiog the most incen diary means to stir them up. Two years hence, if the same change takes place in this State as did in Georgia, we may expect to find some of oar pseudo democratic Congressmen following Watson's example, and preaching frater nity and social equality to the negroes, or asking for tbe passage of a Force Bill. LOOK AT TOTJR TICKETS. There are rumors that both Republi cans and Third Partyites will pot oat Electoral Tickets containing the names of some of the Democratic Electors with the names of their electors sandwiched between. The rumors may be false bat neither party is too high-toned to prac tice each tricks, and it is of the high est importance that ali Democrats be on their guard. Inspect the ticket yon vote, and by | no means place it in tho ballot-box until yoc are positive that each name bas a right to a place on a Democratic ballot. We must have no mistakes, for Samter County mast remain io the Democratic column. The following is a list of the Electors nominated by the September Conven tion. Cat it oat and when yon go to vote compare year ticket with it : DELEGATES AT LARGE. ERNEST GARY, ?5. WILLIAM STOKES. FIRST DISTRICT C. C. TRACY. SECOND DISTRICT. THOMAS S WILLIAMS. THIRD DUTRICT. I.

E Keels, county chairman, says that this county will be carried by the Republicans This is simply the assertion of hie individual belief. Others, equally as well iuformed politically and as iutelli gent, do nof think so. Fortunately it is not a question of what certain men think, but whether the white men of Sumter county consent to a return of negro rule, if you do, theo Oapt. K-ela* judgment will be vindicated If not, Sumter will be one to increase Cleveland's majority in South Carolina. Do you consent to have Mu-ray succeed liotr. in congre?? instead of Gen. E. W. Moise, a 7eteran of 70, a man who sacrificed hie persoual inter ests to go with Hamptou from one end of the State to the other arousing the white men to mak? the effort to free themselves from seal-wag and negro rule? Do yo'i wl ite Democrats consent? Do you prefer Muiray to Moise ? If so j stay at home aod iet the negroes run the election to suit themselves. Do you consent to have negroes repre sent Sum ter cotto ty in the Legislature. Do yon cousent to a Board of County .Commissioners, composed: of such ma terial as constitutes, the Republican party ? Do you consent to have the Treas urer's office filled by a negro ? Do you consent to have a negro for Clerk of the Court.or Sheriff.or Auditor, or School Commissioner? If you do ooosent to these things, then you are not the Democrats, of '76, nor even worthy to succeed tiein. The matter rests entirely with you. Chairman Keels has done bis duty in warning you of the situation, and in appealing to yon to work at the polls to overthrow the schemes of the enemy. Now let the voters do their dnty. To go back a short space. At the recent primary, when the Democrats were fighting each other, the most intense energy and zeal were manifested. The clubs voted more men than ever before. Now there is vastly more reason for energy and seal. The wellfare of the county is at stake. White supremacy is threatened. Aud the olubs must vote more men than they did oo August 30th. If each club will do its full duty, appoint rally ing committees and work earnestly, energetically, and fearlessly, remem bering the stakes, Sc inter County will be found on the right side, as she has always been in the past. Let us get to work. MOBS IBBYI8M. In an interview published in The State of October 30th, Senator Irby speaking of the political situatioo says : "In regard to the national election, I wish to say first of all that South Carolina will go overwhelmingly- for Cleveland. Two weeks ago, lest there might be some trouble in the State, I wrote a letter to every coanty chairman in the State a?king what were the political conditions of the county. I received answers from all counties except York, Chester aod Greenville, and from those replies 1 have concluded that the State would go overwhelmingly for Cleveland. The county chairman of Sumter reported that that county would go for Harriton. The only Third Party ism reported comes fror. Oconee and Ptckeos, and a part of Anderson. Io all other counties the indications are that the Third Party won't receive a twentieth of the vote. For instance, in the connty of Aiken, if there are any Third Partjites they are noi known. I asked ail the chairman the ques tion : 'What's the strength of the Third Party vete in your county ?" The italics are ours. What is Senator Irby's motive in pub ! lishing abroad the statement that Sum ter County will go Republican ? Can it be possible that he thinks it will aid the Democrats in tb'ier fight, to advise the Republicans that the Democratic County Chairman concedes them the Couoty ? It appears that it would have more effect in encouraging the Repub licans than in arousing the Democrats. To say the least the publication was useless, inasmuch as Capt. D. E. Keels, the Couoty Chairman, was in possession of the facts of the case and was in a position to inform all the Democratic olubs in the county of the gravity of toe situation, and arouse every demo crat to do his full duty on election day. ft is not necessary that the Whole State or any portion of it outside of Sumter County, be informed of Capt. Keels' opinion concerning the probable outcome of tbe election to have the Democrats in tbe Coanty make every ezer *on to prevent a return of negro domination. Therefore it strikes us that tbe pub lication of tbe statement by Senator Irby is : 1. Detrimental to the Democratic cause, as it is encouraging to the Re publicans. 2. Useless, as all the facts were al ready in the possession of those most interested. 3. A reflection on the county, ac tuated by spite. Does it not have the appearance that the Senator has need information com ing to him in his official capacity as Chairman of the State Democratic Ex ecutive Committee, to make a spiteful fling at a County that did not go to sait him at tbe recent primary. TO DEMOCEATST i The following circular has been sent out to the Democrats of tbe county : , Scmtbr, S C, Oct. 31, 1892. I Information has been received bere ! from reliable sources that tbe Repub licans, reckoning upon the supposed apathy and division among the Demo crats, are making desperate and well organized efforts to wrest this County from us in the approaching election More especially is this tbe case in the Federal Election. Nothing will be left untried by them whioh can promote the chances of Mur ray for Congress, and Harrison Electors Recognizing the dangers of the situation aud the gravity of the issues at stake, we address you this letter to urge upon you the great importance of having every member of your Club at tbe polls on Tuesday next. The enemy is vigilant, canning and thoroughly organized Let us meet them like men and true Democrats, and repeat with emphasis the splendid victories of the past. The election of Geo E. W. Moise to Congress will depend, io a great degree upon Sumter County. He is entitled to tbe undivided, enthusiastic support of hie home people, and ne beg that in-so far as you are able, you will see that he gets it. The good faith of the Democracy ii? pledged to the nominees of the Detu ne: a'ic party, aud you should see that every man casts his vote for Clevelaud, Moise, the State and Coanty ticket. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty " The election of Harrison or Murray will endanger the future success of the Democratic party in Sumter County,and av -in -hreaten us with negro domination. Appoint a Rallyiug Committee of your Club, whose duty shall be to get oat the full vote of all persons in sym pathy with oar ticket. Respectfully, ! D. E. Keels, Chairman. ! W. II. I.w:ram, Secretary. DON'T DO IT. "The Sumter Herald says : a. Altamont Moses will introduce a bill in the next Legislature to change the time of meeting from tbe present date to tbe first of January, for tbe reason that the members of the Legislature can at that time much better a?Svd to leave home.1 (Jur advice to tbe legislature is: Don't pa?s it. If our Solons go to Columbia with a whole year before them, at $5 a day, there is no telling bow long the sessions would last. In feet two-thirds of them wouldn't know when ibey were through. As it is now, every legislator knows that when tbe 24th day of December comes it is time to adjourn and go home. Surely Mr. Moses doesn't think this long suffering State Deeds any more legislation than it is getting under the present arrange ment of limited session and forced adjourn ment."?Neicberry Observer. A month or so ago we mentioned the fact that Mr. Moses would re-iotro c? u ce at the next session of the Legisla ture, his bill changing the time of meet ing, aod, at tbe same time, briefly stated his reasons for desiring the change. Mr. Moses desires the change for two reasons : First : February, the time named in his bill and not January, would be a more convenient season for men of all professions to leave their business. Second : The members of the Legis lature need time to read and consider the ano aal reports of the several heads of departments to be io a position to vote intelligently on the appropriation and other bills of kindred character. At present this time is not bad, for tbe reports are not completed and printed until after the Legislature is in session and owing to the press of the regular routine business of the session few mem bers can find time for tbe consideration of the reports. Mr. Moses wishes to obviate this difficulty, and changing the time of meeting would do so. He woold have a law passed requiring the reports to be mailed to the Senators and Representatives as soon as printed, which woold give ample time for con sideration before the beginning of tbe session io February. There is a good deal of truth in what the Observer says about the Solons go ing to Colombia with the whole year before them, to be paid for oat of the pablic fund f?t $5 per day apiece ; bat we hardly think it as serious as it ap pears to oor Newberry contemporary. But if this obstacle is insurmount able from the fact that the reform legis lators would insist in prolonging the session indefinitely for the purpose of reforming $5 per day into the pockets of each of tbe aforementioned reformers, then the time for making reports should be changed to do away with what Mr. Moses aod many others now object to. Tbe above was written and put in type for the last paper but was crovrded out. Since then the subjoined para graph has been clipped from the Marion Star. It is added merely for the pur pose of showing the drift of opinioo : The Sumter Jlcralds&js that "Mr. Altamont Moses will introduce a bill in the next Leg islature to change tbe time of meeting from the present date to tbe first of January, for tbe reason that tbe members cao at that time much better afford to leave borne." Non sense, January is always a busier month than December. It's in January that the greatest changes are made in tbe plantations, when laborers are secured, contracts drawn, and the whole year's programme is mapped out and arranged. Besides there is a wholesome custom growing np of not holding the sessions over after Christmas of each year that should be continued. With tbe next menagerie, to many of tbe members of which 50 cents per day would be extravagant compensation, there is no tilling when the sessions of tbe Legislature would end if this salutary rule should be abrogated. THE CAMDEN JUNCTION MAT TER. The following extract from the News and Courier of tbe 30tb nit., gives the latest developments in connection with the proposed transfer of freight at the Camden Junction. Tbe South Caro lina R. R. will not comply with the decision of the Railroad Commission, aod the matter will have to be settled in the courts. "The railroad commissioners have turned over the correspondence in the Camden Junction case, with the request that the Attorney General push tbe case, if the law warrants it. Assistant Attorney General Townsend has charge of the matter and was busy today read ing over the correspondence. The Sooth Carolina Railway authorities are evidently determined to save the expense of establishing an agency at the junction if possible. The following are the latter and more important letters of the case and give a good outline of the positions by the commissioners aod the railroad : October 25, 1892. C. M. Ward, Geoeral Manager South Carolina Railway?Dear Sir : I am directed by tbe board of railroad commissioners to advise you that, in the absence of any reply to their letter of the 17th October, they are led to believe that you decline to take any action in tbe matter of transfer of freight at Camden Juoctioo. Please advise the board by return uiail if this is your decision. Yours truly, M. T. Bartiett, Secretary. October 27,1892. M. T. Barlett, Esq. Secretary of Railroad Commission, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir : I have all the several com munications which have been sent me by your honorab'c board through you in reference to our company handling freight via Camdeo Junction for Sum ter and other points reached by Wil mington, Columbia and Augusta Rail road. I have given the eotire matter the most careful attention, aud find that it is entirely impracticable for this compa ny to do a general interchange freight business with the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad at Camden Junc tion. We have neither agent, station house nor other appliancos for handling freight at this point, and there would uot be sufficient freight offered via this point to Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta points to warrant the receiver in expending an amount of money which would be necessary to give ade quato facilities to do the busioess offered. The receiver is at all times both will ing and anxious to give every facility to shippers and I am sure that it affords both him and myself the greatest pleasure to be accommodating to tbem, but I think you will agree with me that ? neither is possible at the cost to this company over any remuneration it may expect to receive io this instance. Hoping from this- statement yoct will withdraw your demand on as for doing the interchange business io question, I remain, very respectfully yours, C. M. Ward, General Manager. October 28. O. M. Ward, General Manager? Dear Sir : Your favor of the 27th instant received, a m I am directed by the board to express their regrets at your decision in tbe matter of exchange of freights at Camden Junction. The board fails to see the force of the objections and arguments that you present in opposition to furnishing this much desired accommodation, and this is more apparent when it is considered in comparison with tbe offer of the . C. Line to meet tbe views ef the com mission and the demands of shippers. The commission has today placed all papers beariog upon the matter in tbe hands of the Attorney General with the request that be take such action as the law provides. Yours truly, M. T. Bartlett, Secretary. Columbia, S. C, October 29, 1892. Hon. J. L. McLaurin, Attorney General?Dear Sir: lam directed, by the board of railroad commissioners to herewith hand you the papers contain ing tbe correspondence between the South Carolina Railway Company and the commission in tbe matter of trans fer of freight at Camden Jonction be tween tbe South Carolina Railway and the Wilmington, Columbia and Augus ta Railroad. The decision of tbe board is tbat under Seotioo 1,524, General Statutes, these two railroads should arrange be tween themselves to interchange freight traffic whenever it is offer ed at this point. The Sooth Carolina Railway having refused to be governed by this decision you are requested to take such action as is provided by law. Yours very re spectfully, M. T. Bartlett, Secretary.
