Wa@dp8liot think Mr.. T,illman is
the proper lilan to be Governor of
the WholeS people, and we are sorry
that ths farmers did not choose an.
lfotheS3 their standard bearer. 3
The Governor Of 4 State should
represent the whole people, and hc
should not 90 at war with any class Of
citizens. He should be a man nal who is
friendly to all, and dtwho in turn has
the good will Of all % lf93 I'S7
When it is known that the State is
full ofgood mon who would not he
Objectionable to any class Of our fel.
ow-citizens, it seems that a proper
respect for their neighbors should
have prompted the farmers to nomi-
nate q man who would not only be
fai nfnl to othem, but who would not
DC objectionable to any considerable
portion of the people.
81 4 tnoT,ta, have nominated q
man who: is Objectionable to a large
number Of the people, they have com.
mitted an error, which is tnlly,~,,s

an attempt to make a man Governor
whoni the people do not want for Gov

not believe the people will stand it.
A FAtn AVERAGE GOVERNOR IN
Manning Timos.]
Gilman is not our favvrite for gov.
ernor, but, as We have before said, we
believe that he would make roc d
governor, aud that if elected his rec.
ord MS governor vii compare favor.

good, strong, uncompromising Demo
crat, man Of fine parts, aud would
wo bPeIieyt make o fair average gov

Democratic convention. 10 elect him,
the work must be tlone properly
Clubs must elect Tillman delegates to
the coanty conventions county con.
ventions must elect Tillman delegates
to the State convention; and tho State
convention must nominate Tillman.
The March convention could do moth.
ing more than suggest, and did do
nothing more, and it Is pledged to
abide the result Of The Democratic
State convention. But will they do it,
is the question we hear asked by the
opposition Of course they will.
riIlman and the other leaders are all
Democrats, and while they will make
q strong fight, and we believe will
succeed in tbor fight, yet should de-,
feat blast their hopes, lh.y will like
true Democrats yield to the majority
and that is what they ask of their op-
poneDts.
TIE MAN FOR A LONG PULL.

When j comes to long pull and a
strong pull, you Gun count Ben Till
mal IN. For four years he has been
"dt .dcning timber" in order to have
a clear field for The race for Governor,
lie is now in the field with his hoad
in tho air and his tail curlel.
THE CONVENTION vINDIcATED.

The convention seems to have adop
ted the view cnte rtained by tho World
and to havo confined its choice tc
Governor and Lieutcnant Governor
In that, we think, tho convention
displayed considerable wisdom, for il
would have been d fatal mistake tc
have named the cnti,e ticket.
The rest Of The State officials hav,
noth'nF 70 40 wltb legislation. they
are merely administrative officers
and, therefore, the refusal to nam.
