of Spartanburg.


In our humble opinion, at no time in
ssthes history of South Carolina has such q
i grave crisis presented itself as now con.
sS fronts the people of this State. Two
tickets, for the first time since 1876, are
! presented TO the white people for State
officers one nominated by delegates con-
ssstitutio ionally = elected according to the
rules and regulations Of the Dem ocratic
party, and headed by Capt. Tillman, land
1.-The. other; put forward by conference
sself elected aud representing, as We con-.
sscient tiously believe, q small minority Of
white people. and headed BY Judge Has.
EEell; We believe it is the solemn duty Of
eyerY Democrat insthe State to vote for
ths ticket regularly nominated, with
Capt.s Tillmans at its head. We also be.
{ ;lieye that the ticket headed by Judge
Haskells 10 be an Independent ticket, and
5 As such should be defeated, as its success
would endanger all we hold dear. Such
being the case, every Democrat in the
County should look up his registration
certificate. and be prepared to vote against

A Talk With Capt. Tillnan.
From che Columbia Record, Oct, 10.

From ehe Columbia Record, Oct, 10.
Capt Tillmau is still in Columbia, and
will not leave for his home until tonight.
As stated elsewhere he has been in steady
conference with the State Executive
Committee. During the recess for din
ner this afternoon Capt. Tillman was seen
by Record representative, in regard to
the following Laurens dispatch in the
Greenville Neacs of yesterday in regard to
what he (Tillman) is reported as saying
in 8 speech at Laurens:
Gle said he came to Laurens to have a
confab, hearing of the proposed meeting
in Columbia to night he said that if
any body of men undertook to break up
the Democracy we would treat them
worse than we did the Radicals in '76."
He said after reading the paragraph
that he did not say the above, but did
say, as far as he could recollect, that
"the Straightouts who would support the
Independent ticket would have to go
straight out of the party and be classed
as Independents. They must either give
submission to the will of the majority or
appeal to the negro vote"
In the interview yesterday Captain
Tillman stated that there was only one
error and it was slight, but he wished it
corrected. 1t was in regard to the
negroes and Edgefeld County. He said
that his words we're:
THAT any white man who attempted
to lead the negroes in Edge6eld and make
them vote this Independent ticket would
run great personal risk"
Continuing, he said that he regarded
this to be the case throughout the Stale,
and there would certainly be trouble.
In the course of the talk Colonel Irby,
lying on the side of the bed, remarked
that he intended the election in Novem-
ber to be bloodless victory for Captain
Tillman and his ticket.
Captain Tillman quickly looked up
and remarked:
"Yes, it will be bloodless, if possible,
but if the victory cannot be gained with.
out bloodshed, then we will have TO have
it by that means or any other, if it is
necessary. I tell you white supremacy
is what we are to fight for now, and white
supremacy ne must and will have at all
hazards"
In giving uttersnce to this, Captain
Tillman displayed strong feeling aud the
words were measured.

An Interview With Haskell.
From tie Sunday Me,ps.

FROM tAe sunday NelpS.
COLUMBIA, October I...Judge Haskell
was visited at this Office this afternoon by
representative of the Ne,us and Courier,
who sought an interview in reference to
the conduct of his campaign.
In regard to recent interview with
Capt. Tiilman and his allusion to possible
trouble at the polls Judge Haskell said:
"I have no apprehension of bloodshed,
and do not think that our people will
listen with tolerance to a suggestion
which, even in its utterance, has done
inexpressible harm to the name of our
State. Personally, I could not better ex
press my sentiments on the subject than
by quoting the language OF Major Theo-
dore G. Baker in an address to the people
of Charleston,d during the canvass of1S76."
Judge Haskell had an old file of the News
and Courier before him as he spoke and
read this quotation "I am radically and
uncompromisingly opposed, and expect to
live to the very end of life opposed to
violence. am opposed to it for the in.
humanity of it. am opposed to it for
the brutality of it. I am opposed to it
above all for the almost invariable ele.
ment of cowardice which is involved in
violence, and stand ready now and for
ever to stamp my foot on the dastardly
spirit of violence, when the force and
protection of numbers encourages
individual baseness to wear the livery of
courage"
"What do you consider, Judge, to have
been Capt. Tillman's motive in making
this suggestion 2"
"I prefer to make no personal com.
ments, !" was the reply.
"In the event that Capt. Tillman's
threat is carried out, what will be The
course of yourself and your party ?''
"Iudividually, have no power in the
matter. I look to the law to protect the
citizens in the exercise of their rights,
and the people of South Carolina have
never failed to support the duly appoint
ed officers of the Government in the pre-
seryation of peace and the safety of per-
Sons.
"Do you consider that this threat will
have the effect of intimidating those whe
are associated with you in this move
ment ?"
'The we'll known character of the men
and the character of the movement" "..said
Judge Haskell, "give sufficient guaran.
tee that they will not be influenced by
any threats which may be made, but that
they will be the more determined to as
sert and maintain their legal rights"
ri understand you, then, to say that
you and your friends will do nothing to
provoke violence, but will insist on
maintaining your freedom of speech and
action ?"
"Certainly. We apprehend no violence,
will do nothing to provoke violence, and
I have no doubt that thorough measures
will be adopted to prevent violence"
"What manner of campaign do you
propose to conduct?"
"The Executive Committee" Judge
Haskell replied, "have not yet assembled,
but my impression is that no public
meetings will be held, and no speeches
made, for the people understand the
whole question, and we appeal simply to
their calm reason and their patriotism" !"

~ The following address, offered by Chan
8 cellof Johnson, was adopted:
g TO tie People of South Carolina:
sWe as citizens true to the principles
we believe to be right and as Democrats
loyal to the pledges of our party, faithful
to the national democratic party and
adheripg to the doctrines upon which
our government was established in 1876,
state briefly the reasons which have led
us to present to you ticket for State
officers in opposition to the Tillman
ticket.
The first principle of the democracy is
government of the people by the people
and for the people. The Tillman ticket
will array class against class. The nom
ination Of that ticket was not by the
people, but proceeded for the most part,
from secret caucus, the people being de.
priyed of. the right to choose their dele.
cations by primary election. Noise,
tur5ulence and .hreats of violence char.
3 acterized the public meetings and CON
verted them into riotous assemblies where
public issues could not be decently and
grsyely discussed, by which many of oul
best citizens were practically excluded
and where, contrary to all precedent Of
our history, the women of this State, who
q have been the guides Of truth aud the
& emblems Of purity and accustomed to
exercise their influence at all times o1
moment, hesitated to appear; that in
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1890-10-16

addition to these bad methods, the utter
auces of Mr.. Tillman had been wrong to
the State and all our people. His
speeches have been q tissue of false char.
ges which every man who respects truth
or religion should condemn, not in words
alone, but by the power entrusted to his
care-his vote st the ballot box.
"The right to vote is not only a power,
but trust, and when the vote is cast it
is the assertion on the part of the voter
that he believes the man for whom he
votes competent and fit to fill the Office.
It is vain to say that the action of polit-
ical party exempts the voter from res
possibility. His vote affects not only
his own rights, but the rights, the safety
and the happiness of thousands who are
dependent on these votes for the charac.
ter of the government under which they
live. The ignorant and the reckless may
cast their voters fippantly, but he who
claims intelligence enough to know the
rights and duties of citizen is responsi-
bic to his country and his God. He who
votes for one whom he knows to be unfit
and unworthy makes himself accessory
to all the wrongs committed by the officer
voted for.
"We further solemnly allege that B.
R. Tillman and his associates, by divid.
ing the people, by inaaming the lowest
passions, by severing family ties, putting
father, son and brother against each
other, have done more harm and brought
greater sorrow on the State than the
sword or fire or hand of man in any
other shape haYe ever 5efore affected.
They should not be honored and reward.
ed for this terrible wrong. MOI should
power be put in their hands to perpetu,
ate the wrong. 1t is terrible mistake
to think that such wrong doers ever stop
of their own will. We do not declare
hostility against our fellow citizens
whatever may be their votes, but we do
unhesitatingly pledge ourselves as men
and citizens, true to principle and right,
to increasingly war against such unworthy
men and methods as have thus ruthlessly
torn the heart of the State in twain to
feed upon 1t for their personal gain. We
will constantly oppose secret organiza.
tions if used for a political purpose, and
all that leads to class divisions and ring
rule, and, on the other hand, will con-
tend to the end for government which
will administer true and equal justice to
all people, guaranteeing safety and secur.
ity Of their rights alike to all who live
under its protecting care.

I BE 1,1 TRUE slJI TO TIE DEMOCRACY.


East week We said, s"We prefer Till,
slnan with.a solid Democracy to Haskell
With divided party. This we repeat
this week, and with even more emphasis.
eshaye repeatedly said that we do not
favor Gilman Gon Tillman's account, but
sWe favor the Democracy. We are Dem
socrats, and one of the rules of Democracy
Us that, the majority shall rule, and since
T:;llman has been chosen by 8 majority
of the Democracy Of South Carolina, and
WilI anqu estionably receive majority
..anAd "a big majority, too-of. the Dsmo.
cratic votes Of this State, ne support him
ands look npon, the Haskell ticket as an
81 %Endpenaent move.5 Our idea of politi-
scaIo Independent -is one who refuses to
snbmit to the rules of the party to which
@he belongs, and votes or runs as candi-
date not subject to those rules. This, We
sbelieve, that ticket has done, or those
putting it in the field. Consequeptly,we
look npon them as Independents, and
hope to see them completely showed
under by the white snow of Democracy,
{ otWithstanding. any foolish remarks or
speeches or eclarations .tbat may be,
made by Tillman Or his followers. Till
sman csnnot DIVE us away from Democ..
siacy, even BY q speech advising blood
;sshed o. BY threatening it, for We are not
supporting Ellman on Tillman's account,
@bnt for the sake of Democracy. Bacon,
sWhois on the Haskell ticket, is tainted
bacon, and will not season our beans and
5tnrnips we'll this fall, for he sought
splace on the ticket put out by the Sep.
.tember Gnoventier, but failing, bolted
the ticket and nov runs on this Indepen..
dent ticket. We like bacon, but it must
be sound and free from faint or we will
discard it.
Now, ne call on our readers, and every.
Democrat in South Carolina, to look
away from the men who compose the
Democratic ticket to the Democratic
party represented by that ticket; and in
Sthe interest of that party talk for it,
3 work for it, and vote for it. This we
S purpose doing with all our heart.
