DOUBTFUL STATES.

Under this head the Atlanta Consti-
tuition of q recent date has an article
that gives some information Us TO sta
tistics that may he of interest. New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana are classed as doubtful States
in national elections. The Democrats
carried all four of these States four years
ago, and elected Cleveland and Hen
bricks. The Republicans count as GER
tain the ISS electoral votes secured by
Blaine four Years ago, and if SO need
only nineteen more to make sure the
election Of their ticket this year. In
diana has fifteen, New Jersey six
and Connecticut nine. Any two Of
these. with the lS2 votes they count as
certain, would assure the success of the
party, or with the vote of New York,
without these three, they could elect.
But we do not believe they can claim
as too sure the 1S2 votes given Blaine
four years ago. They count on doing
this, and the selection of their ticket
indicates that it is their intention also
to carry New York and Indiana. They
have taken an Indiana man and a New
York man.
We believe Cleveland will carry New
York by a larger majority than he did
four years ago, and with the solid
South-153 votes-will give the Demo
cratic ticket lS9 electoral votes, and
then we will only need twelve more
votes to give a majority of the electoral
college.
To the doubtful States this year
might be added California and possibly
one or two others. In speaking of the
four States named here as doubtful, the
Constitution we'll says:
"These have now more reason than
ever to re-affirm their faith in the Dem
ocratic party, for it has given them the
| honest administration for which they
voted, and has relieved the govern
ment from the bondage of Republican
corruption, which relief was brought
about by the unanimous electoral votes
| of the so-called doubtful StateS.h
We believe that all four Of these so
called doubtful States will vote as they
did four years ago land that neither one
Of the Republican nominees will carry

Private adviccs to the Record from
Laurens this morning put the dele
gates as follows: for Duncan 81, Perry
p, Bratton !.
There is an authoritative intimation
from all, except two, ofthe county clubs
that the delegates to the convention, to
be held Friday week, will come pre-
pared to undo the work of the last con-

the city, too, there is a strong wave in
favor Of the primary. 1t is understood
that in Ward no delegate will be sent
unless he favors the primary plan, and
will vote to change the constitution.
Tickets for Bratton, Perry and Dun

Local Artists MaSterpIece.

Mr. 4. ". Hamiter has on eSlibi-
ton at Pickard's book store the latest,
and, as none can doubt after seeing it,
the best work of his brush. 1t is a
copy OF G.. Bodcnhausscn's famous
Hero and Lcander," and is in every
respect an effort of which the artist has
Il right to be proud. The subject is a
grand one and illustrates the story so
we'll known to all of the maiden, Hero,
discovering on the shore Of the sea the
dead body of her lover, Leander, who
had been accustomed to swim tile Hell
lespont to see his loved one.
In Mr. Hamiter'S picture the figures,
their expressions, the wi!dness of the
surroundings, are all treated superbly.
The dcath-dealing sea with its foam
tipped, curving waves; the sca-birds
fitting by; the dead Leander, floating
half submerged in the transparent
water; the beautiful Hero, her counten-
ance expressing the emotions Of sorrow
and despair, all make up a painting in
which the highest object of art-simili-
tude to nature-is attained. Lovers of
the artistic should not fail to visit Mr..
Pickard's and sec Mr.. Hamiter's work
before it is sent away.-COlumbia Reg

The Keowee Courier proposes that
the people of Oconee County vote for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor at
the same time they hold their primary
for county officers, and the gentlemen
receiving the highest number of votes
receive the endorsement of that county
in the State nominating convention.
This is a novel plan, but may work
we'll. There is nothing like trying it,
but as the Greenville News suggests it
would not be a good idea to tie the
hands of the delegates to the men re-
ceivinga majority at the primary, for
they might stand no chance of nomi-
mating them, and the delegates would
not be allowed to participate in the Sc
lection by the convention.

TRUE TO HIS NATIVE STATE.
Some Facts in the Life of the Rev. A. Coke
Smith, d. D., of Wofford College.

From the Williamsburg Herald.]
There are some facts in the history of
the Rev. A. Coke Smith, D. D., that
are not known to the public. While
pastor of Trinity Church, Charleston,
he was offered the pastorate ofa leading
church in New York with salary of
S., 600 per annum, but declined even to
consider proposition to leave his ma
tive State. About the same time he
had the refusal of church in Baltimore
on salary of s. 900, and again declined.
Later on he received an official commu-
nication from the stewards of the First
Methodist Church iii Atlanta offering
to have him transferred to the North
Georgia Conference and stationed there
at 800 year, but he determined to
remain in the Palmetto State and de-
vote his strength to the good Of the
people among whom he was reared.
These are not all the offers he has had
made him during the last few years:
Since his election as professor of moral
philosophy in Wofford College he has
refused the same chair in one of the
leading universities in the South, with
a salary twice that for which he now
serves. DR.. Smith is under 10 and has a
bright career ahead of him.

STATE ENPESSES,

Tie Abbcville Medium thinks that
II cat may look at king" and Il coun'
try editor may seek information. Well
We think 80 too, and We can see nc
reason why the country editor should
not have the information he desires
The Medium says:
'"The Register seems to be very sen,
>ilivr about anything said about the
State officials. The Medium has made
no insinuations but advised q new sys,
tenn OF bookkeeping. We want them
kept so that everybody can understand
the figures.
When the Comptroller General re-
ports that the EXPENSES Of the govern
mpnt for 1879 We're $40. 1S+.0l and for
1851 We're 1869, SO we want the ac-
tual difference TO be S.20, ,0O3.3S.
These figures are from the reports,
and if they DO not MEAN that the eX-
pcnSc> for 1887 We're sos, ,tN3.3S more
than in 1879 what do they mean: Still
sonlc very honorable men hold that the
difference WAS not so great.
The books of the State officials are
proper subjects for criticism. The Off
GERS are not too high to be called TO ac-
count. Y cat may look at 4 king and
country editor has a right to seek i'll
Iorme ION from officials
The State officials and some others
have endeavored TO explain this system
of bookkeeping and how this matter
really is. We confess we have never
-Nunlerstood the explanations.
ItIhe~ expenses are more now than
they were ten years ago, in consequence
of increased appropriations and neces-
sary expenses Of government, why not
just say 50. They could very easily be
so. and at the same time be consistent
with an honest, fair administration of
public affairs by our officers. Some
additional expenses have incurred in
the advancement and progress of State
management which seem to us would
make it necessary for the expenses to
increase, and ii there has been an in
crcas we would ike to know it, and
how much.
