CHARLESTON, S. c., JAN 23.-There Is likely
to be a split In the solid Democratic ranks In
this State. An address is published to-day
from G. W. She'll the President Of the Farmers
Association. which promises to split the party.
and will perhaps. result In letting the Afro
American take part in the ballot. Here are
some extracts:
South Carolina has never had real re-
publican government. Since the days OF the
Lords proprietors 1t has been an aristocracy
under the forms OF democracy, and whenever
q champion of the people has attempted 10
show them their rights. and advocated those
rights an aristocratio oligarchy has bought
him with an office. or. failing in that. turned
loose the fioodgates OF Misrepresentation aud
slander In order to destroy his influence"
The address charges the State Senate and
and also with being under the influence OF the
Phosphate Ring and The Railroad Ring. It
"As real Democrats and white men we call
upon every true Carolinian, OF all classes and
callinGs to help us purify and reform the
Democratic party and give us a government
OF the people. by the people and for the people,"
The address concludes with a call for a State
Convention. to meet on March 81. to nominate
q state ticket In opposition TO the regular
Democratic Convention. which does not meet
till August The address will probably make
bad breach in the Democratic ranks.
