The Republicans have elected three
Presidents since the war. o. s.
Grant served woterms, both of which
were corrupt flom end to end-illed
with scandals which are to this day
offensive in the nostrl's OF decent
people. The Black Friday conspira-
cy, the Whisky Ring conspiracy the
Credit Mobilier scandal, and the post
leadership steal, were the most prom
inent. All of these were devised and
executed by prominent Republican
politicians.
R. B. Hayes served one term in
consequence of a historic and gigan.
tic steal devised and executed by the
leaders Of the Republican party. His
administration was reform" one,
bnt after its termination it was dis
covered that his government was rot
ten to the core, that by TIE star route
swindles the people were robbed by
prominent republican leaders Of vast
sums every year, and that the fraud
ulent President had lent his aid to-
the corrupt work of electing his sue
cessor and selling the Offices of the
people for money.
Jas. A. Garfield was elected by
the use of money squeezed from the
Star Route robbers for the privilege
of robbing, received as the prics of
the secretaryship Of the Treasury, in
!. .nayn1 ent a-seat- t-e-tths halhh- Of
the Supreme Court, and as a bribe
for the privilege of placing the new
bonds of the government.
The present accidental President
is the man who conniyed at the fraud
and corruption used by the Republi'
can Leaders to elect Garfield, and who
was dismissed from the collectorship
of the Port of New York by Re-
publican President because of his no
torious ineficiency and shameless
corruption.
That is the record of the party.
1t is harmonious record of rascality.
Stalwart, Half Breed and compro-
mise Republicans have taken turns
at ruling the country. and all have
used their power to rob the treasury
and the people.
1t is time for the people to try an
other party less saturated with dis.
honesty and fraud.-Greenuil1e Daily

This Beats a Fish Story

Walton (Ga.) County Nc,rs: A
monster bull frog, captured in a carp
pond in this county, weighed Two
pounds. and had in his frogship one
German carp six inches long, one full
grown toad frog and monster craw,
fish, one of the largest Of that species
of fish that inhabits our streams. This
is given that those who have carp
ponds had better see that these frogs
are all kept out. The truth Of the
above is vouched for by two RESPONSE
Bile persons.

THE DEAR LITTLE HEADS IN
THE PEW.
BY MRS. NJ. E. sANesrER.

-
In the morn ofthe holy Sabbath,
Hike in the church to see
The dear little children clustered,
Worshiping there with me.
ain sure that the gentle pastor.
Whose words are like summer dew,
Is cheered as he gazes over
The desr little heads in the pew.
Faces earnest and thoughtful,
Innocent, grave and sweet,
They look in the congregation
Like lilies among the wheat.
And think that the tender Master,
Whose mercies are ever new,
Has a special benediction.
For dear little heads in the pew.
When they hear The Lord is my Shep
herd,'
Or "Suffer the babes to come,''
They are glad that the loving Jesus
Has given the lambs home
A place of their own with hispeople,
He cares for ME and for you,
But close in his arms he gathers
The dear little heads in the pew.
So love in the great assembly
On the Sabbath morn to see
The dearlittle children clustered,
And worshiping there with me;
For know that my precious Saviour, :
Whose mercies are ever new,
Has special benediction
For the, dear little heads in the pew.

of this government, and in my judg'
ment the right and proper power and
duty of the government to protect it
self against such commercial inva'
sion as foreign supremacy in this ca
nal would imply, is as well founded
and iiusti6able as the right and power
and duty to enforce the Monroe
doctrine. Very truly and respect.
fully, M. @. BUTLER.
OF the above letter the Industrial
Reuieao editorially says:
It is the clearest statement of the
position of the South in relation to
the canal problem that has emanated
from any source, and it outlines the
proper policy for the government to
pursue with distinct and patriotic
emphasis. Reviewing the article in
our May issue entitled The Canal
and the War-Warning to America
from Egypt" Senator Butler concurs
in the writer's opinion that if possible
England will acquire supremacy of
the canal, and that great danger to
American commerce is to be appre-
hended therefrom. He points the
Southern people to the fact that if
they continue to prosper in industrial
pursuits the chief outlet for their
products will be by way Of Panama.
Let England or France, OF even a
private corporation Of foreigners, cut
US off from that outlet, either by
purchase or diplomacy, and the one
thing needful to build up manufac-
lures in the South, Q. e, a foreign
market, will be denied us. 1t is in
the islands of the Pacific Ocean, Chi
ma, Japan, the West coast Of Mexico,
and South America, that the future
markets for Southern manufactures
will be found, and untold prosperity
is in store for her industrialists if
those markets can be reache Gun
trammeled by the domination of a
foreign power" Understanding a.
we do the aggressiveness of England,
we should take timely precautioa to
prevent any approach to encroach-
ment upon our commercial rights.
Senator Butler has wisely and in.
diligently laid before the South the
results Of his investigation Of the
subject. His unmistakable fidelity
10 Southern interests renders his
views peculiarly ;nportaut, and we
commend them to the readers of the
Industrial Reuieav with the assurance
hat they furnish food for serious re.
lection.

Another Randall VOtes
Fcon, the RediStel..

q Tie Aiken Recorder announces
Aauthoritatively that Hon. George D.
q Tillman will also vote for Randall.
! The announcement does not at all
/ take us by surprise. 1t is what we
had heard some time ago, but not in
"a way to Justify the announcement.
If the constituents Of these gentle
men are willing to put South Carolina
| on the platform, they are right in
sustaining Randall for the Speaker
ship But any effort to support a
vote for Randall as not inconsistent
with anti protection principles is
nothing better than political deceit.
Every journal in the country op.
posed to. the protection policy openly
says that the election of Randall to
the Speakers chair puts the party off
the tariff issue and defeats hopelessly
all tariff reform before The Democracy.
! There is bat one opinion on the
subject, and it is too late in The day
! for Mr.. Dibble and Mr. Tillman to
tell people who know that Randall is
a good enough anti-prorectionist. We
Ado not blame either of these gentle
en for being protectionists if their
Astituents sustai them. But they
& Qt stand up for tariff reform by
for Speaker-yho will shut
dowz$ al!.measdres looking to cross
ing st" or dotting an q" of the
present tariff swindle. This is the
whole strength and the recognized
meaning before the country of Ran
dall's candidacy. And those who vote
for Randall vote Willingly on the line
of hands off and no reform on the
trriff issue.
We have heard from these two
members of Congress. Now it is in
order to hear from their constituents
Have we a protection party in South
Carolina?

The Aiken Recorder is positively
informed that Congressman George d.
Tillman will vote for Randall. We
like Congressman George D. Tillmau,
and admire him for many reasons, but
if he proposea to representa- free trade
Democratic community by casting
protectionist Republican votes, he
ought to move out OF Shippers Geor-
'gia over the line into Joseph E. Brown 8
State. They are more accustomed to
such political vaga.ies there than We
re over here.
We may not be able to make the
tariff an issue in national politics, but
we can make it an issue right here IN

4 Stump Pulier.

The Oranseburg correspondent Of
the Ne,cs and Courier says:
Oraugeburg can boast OF an inven-
ton which promises to aurpass any
thing Of its kind now in use. Nj. A.
Minicken, Of fthis county, has invented
a stump puller Of great power and
practical utility. This invention very
ingeniously combines two powers,
that of the screw and the lever. The
friction common to machine of this
kind has been greatly reduced by the
use of iron balls instead of the fiat
surface. 1t is 80 constructed as to be
operated either by hand or horse
power.
Your correspondent visited the
residence Of Mr.. Minicken few days
since and saw some Of the work done
by this new contrivance. A large
pine stump, the main root Of which
measured more than seven feet, was
extracted with ease by two men. A
patent has been applied for and the
machine-wilt' soon be on the market,

York, will be the Democratic Vice
Presidential nominee. The Repub'
licans will abandon party organiza'
