The Outlook in the State.

Thus far bit two discordant notes
have been heard in the harmony of the
Democratic Grand March in this State.
Ono comes fro,n Marlborough and the
other from Edgciicld. Iii lhc former
county ex-Judge Towscnd is said to
be cndcavoring to organize an hide
pendent party III opposition to the
Democracy. AS 10 county nomina-
tions have been made, this is not a
bolter's movement, but deliberate
attempt to create new organization.
1t gives us much pleasure to record
the assurance that the "ncw party"
will not succeed IN doing anything.
Marlborough is too good a county to
daily with the enemy. Judge Towns
end was once n Republicans, and he
may desire to return to the Republican
party, but we mistake The temper of
the Democracy if they will suffer him
to lead them into any Gnrlorn hope
any movement stamped With failure
81 It's inception.
Tho discordant note from Edgrtield
is evidently the result of too hastv
pnlsation OF political strings. Rhine
hart Club passes Il series Of rcsolr,-
tions reciting that the nomination OF
State officers in June "was unwise.
uniair and unprecedented, and was
done bya partisan Executive Commit-
toe at the dictation Of aristocratic Lead
crs and for selfish purposes. and
against a large majority Of the people
who compose the Democratic party"
and therefore that club refuses to
ratify the ticket, and calls for Il new
State Convention in August or Sep
tcmbcr to make nominations, ut
which each county shall bc represent
ed according to its Democratic voting
strength, instead Of to its representa-
ton in tho Legislature.
Both the Edgetield papers condemn
these resolutions, and the -At3re,fiser
il conclusion says:
From time immcmmorial it has not
lcen the habit of kdgcfir!d people TO
even imagine that other people or 9th
r4' men thought themselves lrttcr than
they. The whining and "panicl-likc
phrases that threaten to become COM

case, let us beware of these obicctiona-
bic phrases and tirrsc too meek ideas.
We are under no whip nor lash. And
this sort Of humble and whining tall:
is the fruit Of seed sown by sclhsl,
denagogncs. We appeal to the an.
cient pride of Edgciicld to be done
with such lowly and meaningless
twaddlc.
Manly and well timed arc these
words, and they must bear fruit. Th,
Rhinehart Club will find no second 70,
their motion, and we firmly bclicv,

is true that the nominations in Jun,
were a disappointment to many, ant
that the action then taken Is nmcnabl
to the charge Of machine politics. Du
the thing is done now and to call an
other convention would be but TO or
ganizc Tildcn and Kelly factions il
the Democratic ranks. The ticket. 4

and 1t will be triumphanuy waited t

steps may be taken to prevent an
