Another chapter in the Tillman
hook of Revelations has been written
and given to the dear people of 1
south Carolina, by the lion. Hen- f!

to the people, except hy a

of it on its merits.
We recognize the fact that Sena*
tor Tillman is one of the ablest men
in the C. S. Senate, and we would
regret exceedingly to see our State
deprived of his services in that august
body. The. principle, was ratal 1thought
ill lb'JU that a
I . >. Senator should not meddle in
local polities. We remember that
t\,.? vi'iwlcs LLainnton, the man
who. in 1 s70 redeemed South Carolina
from negro and carpet hag
rule, made a speech in which he
begged the people, on account of the
love they bore their state, not to divide
politically into hostile parties
and thus jeopardize the supremacy
of the white race in South Carolina,
