T.. w. Hooper, treasurer of
Harvard College, Massachusetts, a
wealthy citizen and mugwump poll
tician who supported Cleveland on
tariff and civil service reform, says
Massachusetts is rapidly changing its
position in politics. 1t is becoming
pronounced for tariff reform and free
raw materials. 1t wants free wool,
free coal and free iron. If any Mas
sachusetts representative votes to
put tariff on hides, he can never re-
turn to Congress, and if either of the
Senators from Massachusetts, votes
that way, he will be succeeded by
some one else. He is firmly convinc-
ed that Massachusetts will cast its
vote for the Democratic Presidential
candidate in 1899.

towns Of Abbeville County there are
perhaps about one thousand voters,
VINO are engaged in other pursuits than
farming. Of those in town nearly all
will vote against Mr.. Tillman. His
chief support will be from the country,
but 1t is certain that large per cent. Of
the conservative and thinking element
will not support Mr.. Tillman. Look
ing at the situation in this light, we
believe it pretty safe to say that in a
primary election. where every man may
vote as he pleases, Abbeville may be
set down as doubtful now, with the GER
tainty that Mr.. Tillman can not keen
all of his followers in line until Septem-
Der.
The majority as shown last sale day
for Illlman was, in our opinion, more
seeming than real. The Tilimanites in
the county had exercised the same en-
thusiasm before that meeting that was
manifest in the matter of the Shell con-
vention. They We're thoroughly organ-
lied, while the opposition was not
organized.

The Tillman Sentiment IN Abbeyille.

[ [Abbeville Press and Banner
1t is claimed, we believe, that eighty
per cent of the voters of this State are
farmers, and it is further claimed that
they should of right have the privilege
Of nominating at least one Governor
from their own ranks.
Governor Wade Hampton was farm
er.
Governor Thos. B. Jeter was a farm
er.
Governor Johnson Hagood was a
farmer.
Governor John Peter Richardson is a
farmer.
Governor Hugh S. Thompson was a
teacher.
Governor w. D. Simpson was law
yer.
From the above statement it would
seem that the farmers have been hold
ing their own against the world, and
We don't know that anybody ever be-
fore advocated the nomination of a
candidate for Office because he was q
member of any particular profession.
The objection to Tillman is not that
be is farmer.
Even admitting that he is Christian
gentleman, possessing all the require
ments for being put at the head Of the
government, and for being put forward
as the leader in South Carolina society,
his methods Of procuring the nomina-
ton for that high and important Office
are not such as to commend him to
the favorable opinion of the conserva-
tive and prudent element of the
State.
AS We understand, Mr.. Tillman did
not put his claims before the whole peo-
pie. He appealed to class, and by the
barest majority of his chosen followers
secured the "suggestion."
We think Mr.. Illiman made his ap-
peal to the common people," thoug h
We have not the copy of the letter be-
fore US. Ifan outsider should speak of
his followers as common people" we
think the speech would certainly be
offensive to the more Intelligent of his
friends. Again, Mr.. Tillman said some
thing at Ridgeway about his followers
acting like 'Jackasses." General Hamp-
ton, when he canvassed this State in
1876, spoke of his followers as friends" "
"felIow citizens" "Carolinians," and
''brother soldiers'':ofthe Lost Cause" "

Farmers movementin this State. Many
of those gentlemen, remembering that
Mr.. Jillman in some Of his first letters
and speeches had said he twas not a
candidate, etc." anXiously turned to
different portions Of the State to obtain
candidate who has never made any
such utterances, and who would carry
into effect the principles and policy OF
the Farmers movement, if elected
They wished a farmer fully identified
with the principles and policy OF the
Farmers movement. They wished a
bold aggressive leader. They wished q
true son of this State. They wished a
son of this State the people trusted.
And Capt. B. r. Tillman of Edgefield
possessed these qualifications more
thoroughly than anyone they knew
and, on this account, they prevailed
upon him to become their candidate.
And now, sir, the farmers and me-
chanics of this State, having forced Mr..
Tillman to the 'front.' is it any wonder
that these people are more warmly
attached to him, every time a public
speaker, or newspaper editor strikes
him?
Mark my prediction; many OF the
very men who carp at the March con-
vention and its candidate for governor
will soon applaud another candidate OF
another convention which shall be
assembled long before the State Demo
cratic convention shall assemble i'll

ally and that knowledge enables me
to think of him most kindly as man.
His public acts lead me to trust him
very heartily, and bis ability asa farm
er, as business man, as the pioneer in
every channel that presents itself for
uplifting and bettering the condition of
the farmer and mechanic, make me
doubly sure that all other classes and
industries in our State will have cause,
after his election as governor, to hail
him as most worthy chief magistrate.

He Should Get Himself Together.
Anderson Journal. I

Capt. Tillman should get himself to-
gether little better when be speaks
again. In his recent speech at Ander-
son, he said, and reiterated, that he
was candidate for Governor put up
by the farmers" &C., and in the same
speech he said the March convention
was not farmers convention, and if
any one disputed it he would prove mis-
statement by reading the Shell call.
If that was not farmers convention
how did he get to be the farmers can
didate?

ASKED TO GET upon A HIGHER
PLANE.
Efforts to Array Class Against Glass Rep
rehensible and Injurious.
I Augusta Chronicle. 1

lie chronicle mas oeen entirely fair
to Capt. Ben. r. Tillman in his can
didacy for the nomination of the Dem
ocratic party for Governor of South
Carolina, and it is in no spirit of un-
kindness that it criticises certain ex-
pressions in his Anderson speech.
Capt. Tillman has as much right as
any other citizen Of his State to run for
the Democratic nomination, but can
didacy cannot be advanced and Dem
ocratic unity cannot be promoted by
his charges of extravaganza and cor
ruption against the present and pre-
ceding Democratic administrations,
and by ridiculing and, abusing
certain institutions of his State
whose officials and graduates have
done so much in war and in peace for
the honor and glory of their common
wealth.
There is no hope for Democratic su-
premacy in South Carolina but in the
unity OF her white people, and no man
is justified in endangering that unity
by endeavoring to draw line of de-
marcation between them. ANY es-
arrangement would result in disaster,
politically and materially, to the best
interests of the party and the State.
Capt. Tillman complains because
certain newspapers have misrepre-
sented and maligned him, but he does
not confne his abuse to the pewspa-
pers. He pitches into the South Caro-
lima College and refers to the Citadel
Academy as "a dude factory"
1t was not in good taste for Capt.
Tillman to refer to "aristocratic poll
ticians," who are now in office, as big
slave owners before the war. This is
an effort to excite prejudice and to
array one class against another. Surely
it was no crime to be slave owner
before the war.
The Chronicle suggests to Capt. Till
man to bride his tongue and to pitch
his canvass upon higher plane. He
and his supporters should leave no
wounds that cannot be healed. Capt.
Tillman should remember, in the
event OF his election, that he would be-
come the Governor of his whole people,
and that it will be his duty to deal
justly and conrteously with the officers
and students of the South Carolina
college and the Citadel Academy, as
well as those of the Clemson college.
Let US pitch our politics in both
States on a high standard and frown
down anything like personal abuse and
appeals to the passions and preju-
dices Of the people. There is nothing
more reprehensible or injurious than
efforts to array class against class, and
interest against interest. The arts of
the demagogue should be discoun-
tenanced. Policies, principles and meas
ures should be discussed, and all efforts
to divide our people and 10 disintegrate
our party should be condemned. Abuse
never helps any good cause and mis-
repsentation should never be resorted
to in any interest.
In no spirit of unfairness, but with a
single purpose to promote unity among
the Democratic people of our own and
our sister State, The Chronicle makes
this appeal for justice, courtesy and
harmony among Democrats in the dis
cussion of public questions.

We find the following printed in the
News and Courier:
To the Editor of the News and
Courier; Mr.. Tillman went considera-
bly, out of his way in the meeting at
Anderson to speak in the hardest man
ner of ME. am nota pagnacious man,
and I deplore the injection of personal
matters into this important canvass.
But as shall be at Anderson on the
| day June lS) appointed at the State
Democratic Executive Committee for
a meeting there, I shall ask the good
people assembled to hear me in vindi-
cation of my course in this campaign.
I think it may interest those who
heard what Mr.. Tilllnan said of me in
my absence to hear what shall have
to say of him in his presence.
JOHN J. DARGAN.
Statesburg, S. c., May IS.
We do not know what it means, but
it does not read pleasantly. Nobody
in South Carolina can doubt Colonel
Dargar's courage or honesty, but the
above card gives grave reason for
doubling his discretion.
The people Of this State have the
right to demand that men who have
personal differences shall settle them
personally, between themselves. If
fighting is necessary in any case, it
ought to be postponed until the CAM
paign is over. Quiet people who at
tend political meetings to hear politi-
cal discussions should not be disturbed
Or endangered by personal brawls; and
what is more, they will not submit to
being so troubled. In this part of the
State we have practical ideas regarding
such matters, and any gentleman who
manifests disposition to make trouble
at public meeting, with provocation
or without 1T, on the stand or off it, is
liable to find himself collared by an
officer and ignominiously marched off
to the lookup.
Col. Dargan has many friends in
upper Carolina who would in ordinary
circumstances be delighted to see him.
In this case, however, the great major
ity Of them, we think, would advise
him to stay away. He can do no good
to anybody and may do much harm by
coming to confront Mr.. Tillman at
Anderson.
1t is of preeminent importance to the
State and its every interest that this
campaign shall be conducted peaceful
ly. a single disturbance may do in
calculable harm. 1t is the duty of ev-
cry brave and patriotic man to under
stand those facts and govern his con-
duct by them. If Captain Tillman
goes about insulting people there will
be plenty Of time and opportunity to
call bin to account and nothing will
be lost by delay.
