A Washington dispatch of May the
9th, says:
Representative Aiken, of South Car
olina, upon being asked, this morning,
what the tariff reformers proposed to do
now, replied: 'We will have to appeal
to;the people. The. majority of us were
elected to try and reform the tariff. We
have made the attempt, and were defeat
ed by forty-one of our people deserting
us in che face of the enemy. The Ohio
and California, men say they were not
elected to reform the tariff. The Repub.
ilicans declared it was a party measure
and they voted accordingly, with few
exceptions. Forty. .one members of our
party took different view of the case
and voted against their party
Continuing, Mr.. Aiken said the pro-
ceedings of Tuesday we're very disheart'
ening to Southern Democrats. The lat
ter came here with large majority, and
for the sake of peace and harmony
allowed themselves to be pulled and
hauled about by handful of persons.
claiming to be Democrats who were
really Republicans at heart. Col. Aiken
says he is in favor of the Southern Dem.
ocrats in the House forming a party of
their own. Then they could control the
balance of power. They could then say
to these. other gentlemen, go ahead and
propose such, legislation as you desire.
IF we like it re will vote for it, if not,
we will vote against it, no matter wheth-.
.er it originates on the, Democratic or
Republican side.' They could then, he
says, command such respect as is now
denied them. For the past ten years the
South has been playing kite for q tail end
iof the party, and the tail has. controlled
the movements of the kite. -.
.stThere are only small number Of
Southern Democrats, who favor Col.
iAiken,s Independent proposition, yet q
large majority complain Of the way they
are treated by the Northern wing of the
party"
This is in keeping with Col. Aiken's
views as expressed at Townville, in this
County, in 1880, and it adopted by the
Southern people would lead to the utter
disorganization of the Democratic party,
both in national and in State politics.
The idea is impracticable, and its express
sion is mischievous. If Southern Con-
gressmen propose acting as Independents
in national politics because they cannot
have their own way in national affairs,
why should not McLane, Clayton and
their associates act independently in
State politics when things do not 60 to
suit them? The mere statement of Col.
Aikep's position shows how utterly de-
structive of party government his views
are. If the Democratic party in the
Union should be dissolved, it will be i'm
possible to hold it together in the sepa-
rate States. 1t is fortunate for the party
through the Southern States that the bulk
of their representatives are more prudent
than Col. Aiken.

The Nesos ana Courier propounds this

The Ne,cs ana Courier propounds this
question to the INrELL1GENcER:
"a propos of Tilden we should like
our Anderson friend to say whether, in
its opinion, much enthusiasm would be
excited for Mr.. Tilden by the republica.
ton of the cypher dispatches and a com.
plete exposure Of the efforts of Mr.. Til
den's agents to purchase electoral votes
in Oregon, Florida and South Carolina7 2
Also whether the South Carolina Democ.
racy would be likely to be very enthusi'
astic IN their support of man who
gave them the cold shoulder in 1876,
and who, when he agreed to contribute
SIS, 900 to our campaign fund, failed to
pay the draft for that amount, which
draft remains unpaid, by him, to this
day?"
Our answer is that we have yet to learn
that Mr.. Tilden had any connection,
personally, with the cypher dispatches.
He cannot be held responsible for the
action Of the party. agents any more than
any other Democrat. If there was any
thing wrong about the cypher dispatches
we have no acquaintance with it; but it
was the Democratic party who commit
led that wrong, and not Mr.. Tilden.
The same is true as to the transactions
in South Carolina and Florida. We
know nothing about any failure on the
part of Mr.. Tilden to pay drafts for
which he was responsible to this State,
but we do know that if Mr.. Tilden as.
sumed any such obligation he couldhave
been made to pay it. His failure to do
so shows that he has side to the matter
as we'll as our Charleston contemporary.
We admit that. Mr.. Tilden is not the
6rst choice Of the people of South Caro-.
lima, but, just at this time we are in the
position to need the influence of the
strongest man in the Democratic party
m the United States, and whoever that
man may be, when he is named by the
Chicago Convention, the people of South
Carolina. will cheerfdlly support him.
We believe Mr.. Tilden at this time is the
man, and we believe he will be over
whelmingly.. nominated in Chicago and
triumpbantly elected in November. We
may be mistaken, but that is our belief.
If we are correct, we would suggest to
our Charleston friend that we had better
accept the inevitable gracefully, and not
assume position in advance of the can.
vass which may injure our usefulness in
it. For this reason it would be as we'll
not to express any opinions which may
be quoted against us this Summer.

The best disposition for the Democrats
tosmake of the tariff fight in the Chicago
Convention is to adopt the platform of
1876 and nominate the old ticket on
It. We can succeed in that way, and
when ne get possession OF the govern
ment we !wilIbe able to reform the tariff.
The Democrats cannot reasonably expect
to accomplish any, reformation in this
line so long as the Republicans hold
either branch of Congress or the Presi-
dency, for the party in power will never
consent to let the opposition get the
credit of a great national reform like
even Morrison's bill would kave been.i
The old ticket on the old platform, there.
fore, is the talisman for Democratic
victory this year.
