SHOWING THEIR HANDS.
A Republican Ticket Baited with Dem
ocrats.

/ From the News and Courier.
On Wednesday night c. c. Levy
! brought to The News and Courier
office a ticket for State officers, which,
he said, was practically the choice of
the Republican State executive COM
mittee, to which the Republican Con-
vention gave the authority to an
nounce State ticket. If such course
were advisable. The ticket named by
Levy is as follows
THE PEOPLES TICKET.
For Governor-A. G. Haskell, Of Col
umbia.
For Lieutenant G Governor7@ohn Brat
ton, of Fairfield.
For Secretary Of state-J. @. Mar
shall, ofColumbia.
For Treasurer-W. A. Ancrum, Of
Camden.
For Comptroller General-Joseph
Barnwell, of Charleston.
For Attorney General H. Earle,
of Sumter.
For Adjutant and Inspector General
M. L. Bonham, of Abbeville.
For Superintendent of Education
J. H. Rice, of Abbeville.
Several of the Republican leaders
were interviewed yesterday as to the
authorization of such a ticket. They
had not yet heard of any conclusion
reached by the executive committee,
John NJ. Freeman, was seen, but he
said that although he was not aware
that the ticket was official, yet he had
no objection TO it and felt convinced
that it would be voted for by the eX-
ecutive committee.
None of the gentlemen whose names
have been placed on this ticket knows
of the intention of the Republicans to
use their names and none of them have
given their consent. It is probable
that they will soon be heard from.
A BOGUS TlChEI.
Editorial in News and Courier.
C. c. Levy, a railway mail clerk,
who should be dismissed from the SER
vice for offensive partisanship, and
who would be dismissed if the civil
service laws were properly enforced,
has prepared ticket for State officers
| composed of Straightout Democrats,
which, he says, will be Officially en-
| dorsed" by the Republican State Gen.
trail Committees on October 6, and be
voted for by the Republicans at the
election on November 4. It is said
that Levy is alone responsible for this
ticket and that it is proposed by him
without the authority Of the Republi-
| can Committee. Certainly, it was not
prepared with the advice and consent
| of the Democrats whose names it con-
tains. We do not believe that any one
of them would run on such ticket, or
be willing to accept office if elected by
Republican auspices. There will be
only one Democratic State ticket at
the election in November-the ticket
nominated by the State Democratic
Convention on September 10, and no
other ticket will receive the support Of
the Democratic voters of the State.
The fight against Capt. Tillman's
election for Governor ended in the
| September Convention. 1t cannot be
renewed now, or at the polls next
month, without destroying the unity
and integrity of the party. If there is
no opposition to the Sgular Democratic
ticket, we think that it will receive a
small vote, and that many Democrats
will stay away from the polls, but if
another ticket shall be put in the field,
whatever the material of which it may
be composed, and by whomsoever it
may be "officially promulgated" it
will be the duty Of every Democratic
voter in the State to make his force felt
on election day. Certainly, no white
man will take his politics or his ticket
from a third-rate colored clerk in the
railway mail service.
