The Sumter Watchman was founded
in 185'J aod the True Southron \u 1866.
The Watchman and Southron .new has
the combined circulation and influence
of both of the old papers, and is mani?
festly the best advertising medium in
Swater.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Bryan won the nomination by the
power of bis oratory. ID his case
speech was silver, for a truth, and the
golden spence was at a discount.
The politicians of the dominant ele?
ment in this State are already distress?
ing themselves with the thought that io
consequence of the failure of the South
Carolina delegates to support Bryan
' they will not have a large share of the
spoils-if Bryan is elected President.
Bryan, the nominee of the Demo?
cratic party, is the man to make a j
winning fight, if there is a man iu the
country able to accomplish such a great
and almost improbable achievement. |
He is young, enthusiastic, a brilliant
orator and with unusual abilities. His
- record is irreproachable and he has no
entangling alliances that will operate to
weaken his chances of success.
How few realize how much they arc
really worth I If C. B. Rouse who
knows the value of a dollar, is willies
to pay $1,000,000 for the restoration
of his eyesight, each person in Sumter
with UDdiseased optics is at least a mil?
lionaire. Per contra how many are
willing to be made blind by having a
little gold-dust thrown into their eyes ;
even if such blindness may be necessary
to make the silver lining to our finan?
cial cloud appear more distinct.
The campaign meeting in Camden
yesterday was, if possible, duller aod
tamer than the Sumter meeting, which
was decidedly the tamest affair of the
kind ever held in this city. This is
not a campaign of education, neither
a campaign of political enthusiasm,
insofar as State politics is concerned.
It is a campaign for the offices and the
speeches all bear the marks of haviog
beeo trimmed to catch the breeze that
will waft office seekers into office.
The Charleston Evening Post, with j
cominendible enterprise and public j
spirit, offers ?100 in cash for original
?tories by South Carolina authors The
' oonditions under which the prizes will
bs awarded will be iouou in another
column. This is au opportunity for
South Carolinians who have literary
aspirations to put their talent to a test, j
and obtain a fair remuneration, if they j
succeed in producing a story of literary I
merit.
Senator Tillman has been notorious
for some liu?e and at Chicago had the I
opporruoitv ui his life to make himself j
famous, b?i he did not ri? cquai to
the occasion, simply because he was not j
i
capable of doing so; and now Lis poli j
tio3? sun has sot beneath the horizon of!
national affairs, and henceforth be will j
be knowa only as a notorious South j
Carolina demagogue, who made an I
exhibition of himself i?, the Chicago j
Convention thai was uncatU-d for as !

The revenues from customs under
the much abused Democratic tariff
amounted to ?109,000,00 in round
figures in the fiscial year just closed.
This is $30,000,000 more" than the
revenues from customs under the Mc
Kinley tariff in tho year ending June
30, 1394, and it is only $17,000,000
below tho tariff receipts iii 1&91
But the calamity organs compare the
the revenues under the existing tariff
with the abnormal customs receipts
in 1892, which exceeded ?203,0.00,
000. The enormous imports of that
year were more than the Protec
iouists had bargined for. Their
avowed object in the McKinley tariff
was to reduce both imports and rev?
enues : but when an unexpected re?
sult .arose in a transitory condition
of trade they coolly attributed the
phenomenon to their protective pol?

to have blown a gale ia the Westert

Arc- Blind Tigers Flcurisbirsg in
This City?
Mr. Editor: Believing you to he aotuaied
by a sense of right and justice to all men, I
do not hesitate to ask that you publish the
following comment from the Sumter corres?
pondent of the Columbia R?sister ami allow
a short explanation, which I deem proper at
this time :
"The blind tiger? are said to be tn a flour?
ishing condition here. Somebody -s neg
lectirg duty in a most shameless manner."
Now the n'r.ovp is either the attempt of
some depraved wretch to cast aspersion upon
myself (somebody) or the correspondent did
not. take rime to look into matters. If he
had inquired be would have found out that
Lieu'. Nunnarnaker is Peting Chief i'i
Charleston and that Constable Brown has
been sick in bed under the Doctor for near
two weeks But, perhaps, the hit is intended
for the police. Are tbey "shamelessly " nee?
dling their duty ? I hope not, as I have great
faith in the promise of Council that blind
tigers will not be allowed in Sumter. By all
means let us know who is the "Somebody"
who is so "shamelessly" neglecting bis duty.
