K1MproN writes from Montreal
that he is IN honest man. Why does
he not come to Columbia and repeat
that ?
Columbia.

Columbia redeemed herself on
Monday, the Democratic municipal
ticket being elected without opposi.'
ton. This is most gratifying, not
only to the city, but to tho State at
large. During all the days Of Re
construction Columbia was u den of
political infamy. The carcass was
there, and the vultures gathered
together. Big thieves and little
thieves, white thieves and black
thieves and gingerbread thieves,
focked thither in swarms, and their
crimes ranged in degree from the
subtle manipulation Of the State
credit to barefacod, unblushing high
way robbery. It was the paradise
of political pariahs and bcastly buns
mers. These miscroants, not con-
tent with plundoring the State, fell
afoul Of Columbia itself, and guttod
tho city. Tho taxpayers and Demo-
Gratis we're crushed to tho earth, and
saw their property stolen while
powerless to defend themselves.
Two years ago desperate effort
was made to stem the tide, but it
was only partially successful. Now,
however, Columbia is again sitting
clothed and in her right mind. Her
new mayor, Capt. w. B. Stanley,
needs no encomium. His sterling
integrity, intexible patriotism and
personal popularity are known
throughout the State. Columbia
can well be congratulated on her
good fortune. The aldermanic
ticket is a representative one, and
will consult the interests of the city
and the pooplo. Thus is the last
vestige of Radicalism disappearing
from South Carolina.

appointed the polls will be opened,
in each club, from twelve to
four o'clock, when each member,
pledging himself to abide by the
nomination, votes directly for his
choice for every Office to be filed.
No candidate shall he voted for
who does not pledge himself to
abide by the nomination. The
votes are counted at each club, and
tho result is' aggregated by the
County Executive Committee.
Those who receive u majority of
the votes cast are declared candi-
dates. When no one has received
a majority, the two highest on the
list for each Office will be voted for
by tho clubs on the following
Saturday, and whichever of tho two
receives n majority is declared the
candidate. There is no chance for
swapping off, or log rolling. Who
ever really has the support Of q
majority of the members of the
party becomes the nominee. IF any
one fails, it is because, he cannot
command majority. No new man
can be sprung upon the people.
They will know for weeks ahead all
the possible candidates, anil can
deliberately mako their selection.
This gives every candidate an equal
showing, and the defeated aspirants
can only griovo that they had not

MIJOR JVOOD Wards ADDRESS.


The following is tho full text of
Major Woodward's speech ip the

to tho endorsement of Governor
Hampton
MIR. CHAIRMAN: I approve most
Ii artily Of Jhe resolutions in ref: ce

with my manhood, but an abiuration
Of the independent course of

my course this far through life.
When Governor Hampton, blending

bear his great inHuence against
mon like MCGOWAN, Porter, Bon
ham, Aldrich, Perry and others of
our best, brayest and purest, and in
favor of q "carpet--bagger," I
thought then, and I think now that
he did violence to the sentiments
of straightout Democracy, and went
beyond any pledges which L heard
him make during his most brilliant
ana unparalleled campaign. When
he appointed Gleavos, the vile,
.nu|atto ex-president of that most
internally Infamous, Chamberlain
Senate, to the position of trial
justice, I said then, and say now,
that he temporarily lowered the
standard of Democracy by depart-
ing from one of tho best maxims
inscribed npon it's folds, which
teaches, "That honesa mon, and
honest mon only, shall be selected
to fill official positions" When the
Legislature, through what I now
believe to havo beer. the influence
Of Governor Hampton-and that in
the face of q palpat'le article OF the

and in order not to givo oifense,
young men should, from their stand-
point of reasoning, be only figure
heads in society and politics. Such
notions do not comport with tho
progress Of modern times. 1t is
neither a crime nor a reproach to
DO young man. Old fogyism has
"played out" and is beyond resusci-
! tatioa. Self-constituted oracles
among mon ore universally regarded
Us hunbugs, and notably SO in
Winnsboro. Old age will always
receive the respect due to it, bat it
must assume the place assigned to
it by an inexorable fato. Old men
frequently are very loath to surren~
dor their stations in public life, and
hold on to them with o. tenacity
both surprising and unreasonable.
When young men step upon the
stage in tho great drama Of life,
these old <'codgers" (no disrespect
intended) shake their heads and
whisper evil forebodings. And
when young mon, led on by youthful
enthusiasm and ardor, assert their
opinions, and throw themselves
actively into the arena of public
affairs, they receive only censure
and condemnation, and, as is the
case in Winnsboro, are characterized
us "upstarts." Unfortunately for
the community, there arc men in
it who have allowed themselves to
think that they arc tho community,
and that in them is found all man~
nor of wisdom that they alono arc
capable of di; Getting the grave
affairs of state, and that unless
their peculiar notions prevail, tho
country is irretrievably lost. While
it is unfortunate that we have such
among us, and while recognizing
their claims upon cur sympathy, we
deem it equally fortunate for the
community that the shallow preten-
tions Of such are SO glaring and so
palpable, and that their true in
wardness" is not concealed from
public gaze.
It q well established fact that
youth is aggressive, and that ordi-
nary obstacles do not impede its
progress. It is q wise provision of
nature that such is the case. There
should not be any collision or con-
hict between youth and old age, and
there will not be, provided one
does not cncroach upon the domain
of the other. :; The indiscretions
OF youth are probably no more rep
rehensible than the follics of old
age, and both are the fruits of mans
depravity. The young and tho gid
are mutually dependent upon one
another, and both should be mutual
ly forbcaring. The experience OF
old men serves as q good check
upon the thoughtless enthusiasm of
youth.
LASTLY. Messrs. Editors, it is a
great mistake for young man to
suppose an old man to be fool,
and vice Uersa JUvENIs.

Of this communication suggests n

and to be treated abStructly would
Gull forth all tho resources of q deep

writer it is only doomed necessary
to handle it practically. In these
peculiar times it 50 happens that
gray hairs have come to be regarded
as synonomous with wisdom, while
the title Of young man is rather one
OF reproach, And it also happens,
Messrs. Editors, that in Winnsboro
we have small cicrle Of "patriarchs"
who can SEQ no good thing in young
men, but rather look upon them rs
the pests of society, and also as
crcatol especially to annoy and
worry tho ''old folks" These same

they, is on upstart, and must bo put

very great outrage if the views of

public sentiment and givo direction
to politics, is perfectly horrible, and
beyond endurance. They cry aloud

The. County Democracy.

The convention held on last
Saturday was most gratifying, both
in numbers and personnel, and in
the business that was transactcd
The County Executive Committee
had paved the way for this by sub
mitting a we'll digcsted report; and
the circumstance that tho constitu.
ton proposed was adopted without
q single amendment, while tho
scheme for the primary election was
altered by merely supplying one or
two slight omissions, speaks well
for the fidelity and ability with
which the delicate task had been
performed. The harmony charac-
terizing tho proceedings is due
largely to the wisdom of the party
in perfecting it's organization be-
fore IN opportunity offers for
diverse interests to cause clash in
matters of general legislation.
Later in the campaign, after can-
didates had come into tho fold, it
would have been impossible to
frame constitution that would not
have evoked opposition, because
thwarting some personal scheme.
This was demonstrated last summer.
BY previously prescribing rules,
however, undor which all must
come, and by lowing no loophole
for reasonable objection to tho
nomination, tho party has practi-
cally rendered itself invincible.
Every prccaution has been taken to
secure tho unmistakable voice of
the majority, and that accomplish.
cd, any eaviling will be correctly
ascribed to sore .headedness or
disappointed ambition on the part
Of defeated aspirants.
Tho adoption Of the primary
system WAS q long stop towards
victory. Its advantages appear
more conspicuous as it's workings
are better known. Briefly, the
plan adopted in Fairfield is as fol-
lows: At some time before tho gen.
eral election, the County Committee
will order an election to nominate
candidates, to be hold at zach club

the good citizens of this county by
means of memorial, protest, contest,

every other way possible, prayed Il

the member, Prince Martin, who
was known to be the most corrupt
and scoundrelly Radical in tho
State, and found themselves check
mated, as I believe, by Governor
Hampton, I cried aloud then, and
I repeat it to~day, that q fragrant
outrage was perpetrated upon
Democracy, generally, and n deep
indignity thrust upon tho people OF
this county especially.

more that can be alleged, 1 honor
