NO SPLIT.

No StLAIs
The Hampton county Nsws-Hsraea
is sadly in need OF political edacaaon ie,l
II tekes Us to task for saying tne
Yrman faction of the Democratic
oartv would do everything poss,,tnie? ,t,I? to
prevent the other side from sphtun
sway.' and tells us, amazing lsno-
~ance s"s' that the Anti-Tillman faction
is the party, the whole party, y, ano
none others are Democrats. 1he ar
ticle is not worth notice, except SIM
plv to make point we deslrea 10
'He The charge has been falsely made
time and again that Tillman IS run
ninr on q separate and Independents
platform, with a separate executive
com mittee, and was nominated BY al
senarate convention. We repeat tnat
this charge IS false, and that at !9ose :e
who who make it ought to know that 1T it T. IS
false. 9illman is as squarely IN tne
Democratic party as Earle or brs5toa TON
Thare is as vet 70 platform, and Will
not be till the State convention meets
and adopts one. NV
yention, but while every MEMBER o.
thst convention was Democrat yet
he was not nominated or named as oy
= 80 na-oocrst;c 80 convention, but simply
BY a large representative body OF OF
fsrmers Who adopted platform OF
sn,r;nciples and named 8 man as tneir
Choice for governor, both to be pre-
sented to the regular Demecraac
State nominating convention tor ap-
proyal and adoption, and %itn u tne
clesr and distinct pledge to aD,ae sne
S;s 5sc;s;on on Of that convention. They are
pledged not to bolt even If deleaieo.
The same thing on smaller scale mas
been m done in the Democratic party IN
this State thousands Of times oefore'
snd there Will be no change IN the
future. In fact it is an unusual thans
for q club, or county convention or
State convention, to meet and noe
make some kind of nomination or en-
dorsemens. The State convention SWo
wears ago endorsed Cleveland n ana
nsssed resolutions on the tariff, ETC.;
was that undemocratlc! nave not
the people, the Democrats, from the
S.I Sas nsf,,re of the word, the right to
do as they please? Did not the Dem
have as much right to meet in con
vention, and having adopted certain e, .,
resolnions, present them to all the
Democrats of the State in convention
assembled as represented by their
deleeates, and osk that they be ac-
cepted and adopted as the resolutions
OF the whole Democratic parsys Is
that a treasonable ofense?
No. no, the Democratic farmers
have worked quietly and conservative,
" TO get their measures adopted anu
t6ey viii vi succeed too by big major
ity, When, heretofore, the few point
cal Democratic bosses around Coium-
! bia, who carried the whole State IN
her breeches pocket, named ticket
and always pushed it through, it was was
Hush you'n split the party! and
then all was quiet; but now, Wnen
these lifelong, sef-constlsute; pohe.
ical bosses find the fat Offices ooth ol
profit and honor, slipping from their
grasp, they cry out, we are the Dem l
q ocrafs in whom all wisdom is center
ed: YOU are the boilers" And, hnaly'
in spirit of utter bull-dozng aespel-
alton in conference assembled, Win
defeat depicted in every countenanee,
shey cry out in pitifol minority, owe
are The Democratic party, and Il you
don't as heretofore submit to the
party lash OF your former bosses WE
viii split" >.
Wen, we hope they viii not split;
we know hundreds that will not split:
bat If few OF the most rabid ones
do 90 over and try to elect Brayton or
anv = other Radical they will soon be-
come so deathly sick of such an ac-
ton that in the dark hours of midnight
they viii sink hack to the Democratic
fold, and beg to be quietly let in at
3 side gap. We have no fears OF a
split Of tie Democratic party IN South
Carolina. No better and truer men
ever lived than our own native South
Csrohnians, and we have perfect con-
fdence in the outcome of this seething
political cauldron.
Tillman himself does talk too much,
and has said some things he ought
not to have said, but, nevertheless, in
his utterances there is volume OF
truth. That he will be able to correct
sill the evils that exist we haye grave
doubts, but we believe he viii use his
very best efforts to attain an approx
mate correction, ami that he will
make governor worthy of the re-
sspect and admiration of every man
in the State.
Tillnan, we say, does talk too
much, but be does all the hard taking
for the entire faction he represents;
while, on the other hand, nearly every.
body on the want-to-split side talks
abuse at once, and says in one minute
more hard things than Tillman and
all his supporters would say in a
week.
To sum up, Tillman will be nomi-
mated, viii be elected, and will make
frst-class governor; the other side
viii weld to the will of very large
majority, and there will be no split;
two years hence Tillman will be re-
elected by a practically unanimous
