1t was thought better that we should

not required that they should discuss

SOME SENSIBLE SUGGESTIONS.

Captain Illlman, continuing, said
among other things that he had heard
something Of their forming a Tillman
club III that county. He didn't want
any Tillman club, but wanted them
to send delegates to the regular Dem.
ocratic Stnte Convention to vote for
Tillman if they would.
He also said that the Alliance was
not II political machine and ought not
to be used in politics at all. The
Alliance had its duty, aud they
had their duty as Democrats. In al
luding to the Alliance matters, he
SAID his remarks were general and
had no reference to Mr. Mcarcs, who
had explained satisfactorily in that
connection, OF to Colonel Golmuns.
TIlE REArroRTIoNMENT QUESTION
was next touched on by the speaker
who had number of tables IN refer

ties by the census of 1880, the unit
of representation in the General As

He had also q considerable portion
OF his remarks on this subject com,
mitted to writing, having done so, he
said, to prevent the possibility of error

FACTS AND FIGURES.

Below is presented portion ofthe
matter thus prepared:
/ will now give you some compare
sons as to kow fair, just and honora-
ble are the methods of the party as
at present constituted for nominating
State officers according to Messrs.
Jones, Woodward x Co.'s claim.
Compare Hampton with 1874 md
9 delegates to Georgetown with 49,
613 and 6 delegates, Lexington 18, ,5G4
and 6, Clarendon 1890 and 6, Marls
borO 20,598 and 6.
Charleston with 10000 has twenty
five delegates, and Edgchcld with
5,844'has twelve delegates. Compare
the following: Richland, 28,573, with
u; Greonville, 37,496, with 10; Spar
tanburg, 40,407, with 10; Sumter,
37,037, with 10; Laurens, 29,44I, with
g; Marlboro, 20,508, with 6; Beaufort,
30,17G, with 8.
1t takes more than 10000 people
i'll three Of these counties and over
5000 in another for one representa-
tive, while in Richland 5,714 people,
mostly negroes, send representa-
tive to the Legislature to vote away
the farmers money and to oppose Il
school for farmers SONS. In Edge
field we have one representative for
5000 people, Charleston one for 5000
