a Leyel-Headed View.

4 farmer, writing to the Lancaster
Review, objects to the passage of reso-
lutions by Democratic clubs requiring
candidates for county offices to endorse
Tillman or any other candidate. He
maintains very correctly that ''to in
ject the bitterness of the State canvass
into the county canvass would destroy
the harmony and endanger the unity
of the Democratic party" He assumes
that ''the farmers as class do not In
tend to exclude other classes from office
or from participating equally with
themselves in elections" for, he main
tains, "to deny other classes such equal
rights would be suicidal and result in
the defeat of the Democratic party
He says, further and very truly, Unity
among all clases of white people is
essential to their political supremacy.
If the bitterness of the State canvass is
transferred to the county canvass this
unity will be jeopardized. Candidates
for political Office" he says, might be
called upon to endorse OF reject political
platforms or principles, but should not
be permitted to ride into office on the
merit OF popularity of other candidates
simply by endorsement Of their can
didacy, but should stand or fall upon
their own merit or dsmerit. Week can
didates will doubtless try to ride into
Office on the shoulders of a popular can
didate simply by endorsement. This
would lead to combinations among
voters as well as candidates, and would
end in ring rule, the very thing we wish
to avoid"

Capt. Dibble on the Situation.

The following is an extract from a
letter written by the Hon. Samuel Dlb-
BILE to gentleman in Colleton County
and published in the Walterboro Press:
"Our State is in a bad fix politically,
and our farmers have no conception OF
the damage that is being done to us
abroad. 'Tillmanisnl' will stop capital
from coming to US; will cost us millions
of dollars of increased burdens, which
our taxpayers will have to pay, to meet
higher rates of interest on our bonds:
and will encourage the Radicals to
swing the federal election bill on us,
and give us lots of trouble. If ever
South Carolina farmers were playing a
game which is going to be costly to
themselves, now is the time. And yet
they think it is mere amusement OF
the hour-to shout Tillman.-that
don't cost them anything. If some of
them were here and knew how it looks
to an outsider-could see ourselves as
others see us-they would probably re-
fleet Il little"

A Sensational Suicide.

JACKSONVILLE, July 23.-G. Tate
Carr, of Ocala, shot himself at Romeo
.o-day on the eve of his marriage to
Hiss Ruby Weston, of the latter town,
end the affair has produced profound
sensation. An Ocala special to the
Times Union says: "Carr went down
to Romeo on special engine last night,
ride of twenty-one miles. The mar
riage was to have taken place at $50 this
morning. The wedding breakfast was
to follow and bridal trip to the West.
VIII Weston, a brother of the bride, as
sisted the groom to dress. His toilet
was nearly completed, when Carr asked
Weston to so out into another room and
get pair Of suSpcnders. While absent
Young Weston heard a shot and return
Ing found Carr on the bed with pistol
ball in his temple. 1t was learned to-
day that before Carr took the engine he
applied to several parties for a pistol,
saying it was some distance from the
depot to DR.. Weston's residence and he
wanted something to protect himself in
case of danger, and he got George Bat
ties pistol.
Carr had been dealing extensively in
phosphate lands, and was reported to
have made $4,000 by recent transac-
tons. It is learned, however, that the
cash did not materialiZe, and the failure
to raise money by loan for the expense
of the wedding trip is supposed to have
induced suicide. Carr came from Hi
nois five years ago, and was voungman
of good habits and business ability"

we Must Stick Together.

The Hon. William II. FELTON,, Of
Georgia, is one of the ablest men in
the State, but for many years it was
impossible to keep him in the party
traces. Recently, however, he has given
his support to the Straightout Demo-
cracy. He was asked a few days ago
about the rumors that he would be an
Independent candidate for Congress.
He admitted that he had been urged by
parties all over the district to make the
race, but said II will not be an lnde-
pendent candidate, and if enter the
political field my claims will be subject
to the decisions of the Democracy. ]
believe the time has come when all
Democrats should be closely united" J"
In the same interview Mr.. FELTON, pro-
nounced the force bill the most iniqlit-
Gus measure ever urged before Con-
gress, and declared the sub-treasury
Scheme unfeasible and unrc sonable.

Republicans at Work.

We notice from the Hampton Guar
dian that full county ticket has been
decided upon by the Republicans OF
that county and will be put up against
the Democrats in the November cleo
tions. There has not been as much
activity among the Republicans in this
State since 1876 as seems to be develop
ing this year. They never showed as
much interest in the matter OF securing
registration tickets even in a presiden.
tial election year. The family quarrel
we are having has revived hope
among them. There will be need for
Democrats to get together before the
November election. We fear, however
that they are getting further apart.
But we must not divide-we cannot

Two More for Reeds Fold.

WASHINGTON, July 22--Reed has
scheduled for next week another cleo
uion of Republican contestants by the
House. Miller of South Carolina and
Langston of Virginia are to be first elect
ed. 1t is said that they were kept SO
long because it was feared that they
might not vote for the force bill, but
they would probably have voted just as
Reed said. The real cause seems to be
the determined effort of their own party
in the SInalls VS.. Miller case and OF
Malone in the Langston case to keep
them out. But Reed is hearing from the
colored political clubs in the doubtful
Northern states and feels that another
election must be held by the House. 1t
is quite possible that Reed may not let
Contestant Chalmers speak on the floor
when the Mississippi case come up,
knowing, as he does, that Chalmers
has a speech full Of dynamite for the
force bill

Mr.. Gonzales received the information,
and which was evidently obtained after
the members had left the city, but do
not doubt the correctness of his state
lirnt. Yet what is the relevancy be-
tween his statement and the declaration
YOU made, deliberately and without
qualification, that the State Executive
Committee had refused by a vote Of
thirteen to one to order State primal
ry9 You are obliged to admit that there
| is no connection whatever between the
statement of Mr.. Gonzales and the de-
claration contained in your resolutions.
Because thirteen out of fourteen were
opposed to Mr.. Tilinan, as a matter Of
fact, is no justification whatever for an
absolute declaration that is utterly
groundless and without the shadow of
foundation. The thirteen members
who are thus misrepresented by you
have just as much right to oppose Mr..
Tillman as you have to support him,
and to distort their opposition to him
as being against a primary is one of the
very queer features of this campaign.
I repeat again that no such action was
election on the Sth of May, or anything
akin to it, and the statement contained
in your resolutions is entirely baseless
and gratuitous. Therefore, you had no
right to infer from the correspondence
of \. G.. G.. that vote on calling a
convention for primary had been taken
and that it stood 13 against and for. y
1t follows that there could be no denial
of a thing which never existed, and it
is plain enough that your authority dis

Captain Ben Tillman.

It's popularly supposed that Captain
Ben Tillman lost an eye studying
Greek by lightwood-knot fire. This
is a mistake. An eminent physician
and surgeon says that the South Caro-
lima "Moses" when a mere lad went out
swimming. He made vigorous dive
and struck his forehead on a rock at
the bottom of the stream. The skull
over the eye itself was so injured that
it had to be removed. He was para
lyzed for considerable period, and this
was the reason why he G!a not go to the
war IS his gallant brother did. 1t was
physically impossible for him to do so;
and therefore no charge ofhis want of
intrepidity can hold water. There
never was any question of his pluck,
and, however violently he may be dis
agreed with politically, he has shown
wonderful powers of mind and unquall-
ing courage.-Augusta News.

North Dakota and Other States the Scenes
of Wreck and Ruin

OF Wreck and Kuhn.
DENVER. COL, July Pat mid
night occurred a terrific catastrophe
that has temporarily isolated the
towns up Clear Creek canon from the
world. An immense cloud burst near
the forks of the creek, pouring a de-
luge of water within the narrow walls
of the canon. 1t completely demolish-
ed two iron railway bridges at Forks,
and as far as can be learned, annihilat-
ed all structures in the vicinity. The
restaurant, depot and outhouseS were
swept away by the flood. Fortunately,
it is believed, no lives were lost. The
immense column of water, laden with
wreckage, went tearing down the ca
non with the result that from Forks to
Golden there is scarcely a yestige of
railroad left.
The greater portion of the roadbed
was washed away and all means Of
communication are destroyed. After
the cloudburst furious hailstorm set
in and it is reported that hail half q
foot deepis lying in the canon. At IL
this morning a train loaded with bridge
timbers and conveying 200 men left
Denver tor the scene of destruction. 1t
will be about three days before the
road is repaired. It was the regulation
cyclone tearing and twisting across
the country, levelling buildings and de-
stroying crops. Five persons were kill
ed outright and man and his wife
probably fatally injured near Clifford.

A Hole In the Line.

The Watertown, N. Y, Times, Repub-
lican, says: "The Republican Congress
sional Committee has issued circular
calling on the Republican press to fire
all along the line into the Republican
Senate to force it to pass the federal elee-
tions bill There will be a small hole IN
the line. so far as the Times is concern
ed. It believes the bill to be suicidal and
the Republican Senate is most wise IN
hanging it up. The longer it is hung up
the less excuse there will be for taking it
down. The negro is every day becoming
more and more able to take care Of his
rights, as do all other citizens, by the
strength of his own intelligence and will.
The accumulation of this kind of power
both to whites and blacks must be the
salvation of the South, and a statute law
will not hasten the day, but might
delay it.

Republican Politics.

The Republican Congressional Con-
vention of the Twenty-ffth District of
Pennsylvania a few days ago, after
struggle which lasted for several days,
nominated Major Mcdowell over the
Hon. Charles C. Townsend, present in
cumbent. Che nomination caused great
surprise, as Mr.. Townsend is friend of
Senator Quay and had that gentleman's
backing. The convention had hardly
adjourned before charges Of the use of
Doodle by the hackers of Major Nc
Dowell were openly made, and the
Pittsburg Dispatch recently published
an affidavit from one of the conferees
from Beaver County, in which he con-
fesses that he was paid $500 to change
his vote from Townsend to Mcdowell,
and he further stated that the two other
conferees from Beaver County were
paid like amount. An official call for
an investigation has been issued by the
chairman of the Republican committee
of Beaver County. Major Mcdowell
asserts positively that no matter what
is done or proved in connection with the
alleged purchase of conferees he will
under no circumstances withdraw or
consent to new conference. 1t seems
positively funny that Senator Quay
should be beaten in a game where

Dear Sir: l am just in receipt OF

Convention. You seem unfortunate

as that seems to be your authority tor
making the positive statement to which
YOUR attention has been called, namely,
that the State Executive Committee by
vote Of thirteen to one refused to or
der State primary. In order that you
may learn, at this late day, what n. e..
G. said in his correspondence on the
10th of May, will quote the paragraph
in full: The members of the Demo-
cratic State Committee left for their
homes to-day. While they have taken
no official action in the matter, and
have endeavored to make no dlscriml-
nation in favor of either the Tlllman-
ties or the Anti-Tillmanites, it IS an
open secret that the members of the
committee regard the Tillman move
ment. as organized and pressed, a serl-
Gus menace to the solidity Of the Dem
ocratic party, and that none of the
fourteen who gathered here last night
are supporters of Tillman, except Mr..
Gary, of Abbeyille."

The Census q Farce.

The taking of the census was a farce
in some places. A Raleigh dispatch
asserts that no census Of South Greens
boro, Guilford County, \. c., which has
a population of three thousand, has
been taken, and one township IN the
county has no enumerator. And IN
Rocky Grove township, Orangeburg
County, 5. G., there was no enumeration
whatever. 1t begins to look as It the
census is farce all over the State, as
we hear complaints from nearly every
section as to the careless manner IN
which if has been taken.
