Mr.. DE WINDT, an English traveller in
Siberia, writes to a London journal that
Mr.. George Remnants pictures and &C
counts of miserable prisons and suffering
convicts in Tomsk are wholly untrue.
that no such prisons exis. and that the
convicts in the "well-appointed and Clearly
prisons" are well fed and humanely
treated. Mr.. KEENAN, replies at once
through the Eastern press that Mr.. de
Windt has been deceived, as are all travel
ers under Russian guidance. Mr.. de
Windt was not shown the Tomsk prison at
all, but only the district Jail, place of
temporary detention and not a convict
prison in any sense. Mr.. KEENAN, clinches
this statement with recently made extracts
from Russian papers, admitting that the
Tomsk convict prison, built to accommo-
date l 400 convicts, already is crowded with
1000 persons so that it is feared pestilence

to the city. In every instance in which

BRITISH officers now represent that the
Behring Sea seal fisheries will be destroyed
by another year Of seal hunting like the
last They wish both the English and
American Governments to put cruisers in
the sea to stop illicit taking of seals. That
would be very fine for the English-it
would be a confession of British right that
we now deny and to which denial we will
adhere in all probability. The United
States can act alone in the matter, and
that the Government has not asserted its
power the past season in Behring Sea is
due only to the disinclination at Washing
ton to bring on a possible conflict with
Great Britain. The Behring Sea nego-
tiations for treaty settlement are still pend
ing, and in the meantime English poach-
ers are exterminating the seals, receiving
also aid from American freebooters.

THERE is simply no reply to be made at
all worthy OF consideration to the PROPOSE
ton to hold the Citrus Fair at San Fran
cisco. 1T should be held where the great
est number of people can view it." That
is a proposition made by friends of the
fair, the truth of which fixes the locality.
If, however, the law permitted, the proper
place for the fair would be in Chicago,
where our contemporary, the Citrograph,
proposes one should be opened.

OF course it would be economic to locate
the drainage pump at Front and Y streets,
and thus save some 5000 to 500 year for
hauling coal to the pump. Moreover, the
full capacity of the pump could then be
utilized, which it cannot be in its present
position at Eighth street, without heavy
cost for an enlarged discharge conduit. But
aside from that, the right place for the
pump is at the foot of Y street, where car
and barge can come to the pump landing.

Our Westminster Correspondence.

WESTMINSTER, S. c., July |, 1890.
DEAR COURIER: We have been
having some very hot weather, and
have not had rain in nearly two
weeks.
Everything seems to be very quiet
in town and country.
There was quite turnout on last
Saturday evening at this place, for
the purpose of re-organizing Demo
cratic club.
Pat is complaining little of not
being very well, but is still unfurl-
ing His Bu,,,ae, to the breeze. Hope
he will not get sick.
Mr.. j. e. Terrell, who left here
something over year ago, has been
spending few days with his many
friends and relatives in and around
Westminster, and left again on Sun
day evening to resume his business
at Gainesville, Ark, where he has for
some time engaged in the mcrcan-
tile business. Jimmie is n young
man of promise, and may he be
attended with great success in all of
his undertakings.
The many friends of Mr.. S. p.
Smith are rcjoiced to SEQ him back
in Westminster again, and at his
former post, tho drug store of DR..
Burt Mitchell. Sam has been on q
visit for the last five or six weeks at
Clarksvillc, Ga.
There will be Childrcn's Day at
Rock Springs, July 5, at $3.50 o'clock
a. NJ, to be joined in the exercises
by the Westminster Methodist Sun
day School. All are cordially invi-

Presbyterian church at this place.
This worthy gentleman has charge
of group of churches, composed of
the Westminster Presbyterian church,
Bachelor and Tugaloo.
Mrs. Fannie Phillips, wife of Mr..

Progress Of the Campaign.

During the first three weeks of
. the State canvass meetings were held
in thirteen counties, closing last Fri
day at Aiken, the work Of the third
week.
SO far it seems that out of the
thirteen counties, twelve will send
Tillman delegates to the State Con
vcntion, unless there should be a
great revulsion in public sentiment,
which is hardly probable.
The counties of Richland, I.cXing-
ton, Edgcfcld, and Aiken witnessed
the scene of operations last week,
the Richland Democracy giving the
first and only positive Anti-Tillman
demonstration.
Senator Hampton spoke at Colum-
bia and Aiken, also Col John G..
Haskell. They were received with
much applause and enthusiasm, at
Columbia, but the tide had turned mt
Aiken, and they were interrupted in
a dcrsive manner. The conduct ut
these meetings was boistcrous and in
many instances disgraccful They
failed to follow the good example
set by Oconcc.
The fourth week of the State
campaign opened at Winnsboro, in
Fairfield county, on Tuesday, July
/. About 1900 persons attended,
and speeches were made by Bratton,
Earle, Tillman, and most of the
other candidates. The reports say
that Gen. Bratton will carry Fair
field by a large majority, although
Tillman has a good many determined
followers. The dsgraccful conduct
Of the other meetings was kept up,
and at one time 'rillman was howlcd
down, and could not proceed with
his speech for five minutes. There
were two or three iiSticulfs, but
nobody seriously hurt. With the
exception OF the rownirS on all
sides, the meeting was goo, la
turcd.

The Primary Election.

We publish this week the call Of
the State Democratic Executive
Committee for Il convention of the
Democratic party to meet in Column
bia on August l3, 'lor the sole and
exclusive purpose Of determining
whether delegates to the State Nomi-
mating Convention" to be held on
September 10, ''shal lr elected by Il
primary election to be held on a GER
tain day throughout the State, and
for no other purpose Whatsoever"
The action Of the Committee will
doubtless meet with the approval of
all Democrats, and certainly it should
be entirely satisfactory to aII persons
and factions in the party.
The third section of the platform
Of the March Convention reads !:
eve demand that the delegates to
the State Nominating Convention
shall be chosen by primary election
on the same day that the other OIL
GERS are nominated, and that all the
counties shall hold their primaries
on the same day, to-wt: the last
Tuesday in August OF each election
year"
The State Executive Committee
Of the Democratic party have not
the power under the law to order a
primary election for this purpose,
hence the necessity for calling the
August Convention to pass upon the
matter and say how the election Of
delegates to the State Convention in
September shall be held. The En-
ecutiyc Committee simply refers the
whole thing to the people. 1t re-
quests them to choose dclcgat" to
send to Columbia August 1871. to
assemble in convention and say
whether the election of delegates to
the September Convention shall be
4 by county convention or county pri-
mary. This is the only method by
which a primary for State officers
can be secured for this year.
The primary plan, fairly and hon
cstly conducted under the law of
1883, will afford the most direct and
satisfactory way for obtaining the
voice of tho people, which is, or
should be, the supreme arbitcr in all
our political contests. Let the pco-
pie say, and let them say by the pri-
mary.

other things Mr.. Brown says: "I am

Convention, says he never saw the
club list of the Oakway club, never
signed it nor authorized any one to
put his name on it, and if he signed
any, he would sign the Center Demo-
cratic Club" In reply l wish to
state that my name is on the Oak
way Democratic Club list, has been
there ever since the club was organi-
zed and is very likely to remain
there, and any man who says that I
obligated myself by saying that "if I
signed any, | would sign the Center
Democratic Club" is either mistaken

rather inclined to believe that he
meant to do the latter. l have no
doubt but that it is not at all the
sentiment of this community Cor
rather Simon-Purc Club) as quoted
by Mr.. Brown, neither would | be at
all surprised to hear of its being the
sentiment of the said "Simon-Pure
Clubp that club should be organi-
zcd at South Union, five miles be-
low here, OF either at Salem or Little
River, thirty-fyc miles above here;
but are we not free men and in free
country and why should we not be
allowed the privileges granted INTO
us by the Constitution of the United

OAKwAY, s. O., June Both, 1890.
- -M Essns EpIToas poties IN
your last issue a communication from
this office purporting to be ssDad-
died" by w. M. Brown, but which,
in my judgment, is the product Of
a Sunday evenings "Caucus," COM
posed of candidate and M cx-c can /.
didate for County Commissioner,
a few deacons, Sunday School Su-
perintendents and an ex-postmaster,
in which he makes various and false
assertions against me, among them,
that the Center MoNepRr, Club, re-
Gently organized here, is the "Simon-
Pure" Democratic Club, when lie is
the we'll known high Sheriff of tho
"Nubbin Ridge Court" in tho years
of gooo stealing and Radical misrule,
and an ex-Deputy U. s. Marshal un-
dor l.. Cass Carpenter to oppress our
down-trodden citizens, besides a
chronic oflice-seeker, whom the good
Democrats of Oconee SO handsomely
laid on the shelf in tho last primary
election, together with the somewhat
notorious "Judge of the Ridge
Court" acting as Woe President, are
members III full fellowship.
Now, Messrs. Editors. the follow
ing are the facts in the case: At the
first meeting of our club in 1888, at the
instance of Mr.. A. Beardcn, the namc
of the club, for obvious reasons, wns
changed by resolution from the "Cen-
ter" to the "Oakway Democratic
Club" as appears in your issue of
May 10th, of that year, and has
been known by that name until Mr..
Bearden, in his greed to monopolize
everything, became 0isgauntle0 at
his first Lieutenant's removal from
the postmastership at this office, to
which he had been appointed by n
Republican administration at said
Bearden's earnest solicitation, or
possibly it may have been from igno-
rance. Taking either horn of the
dilemma, it shows his utter unfitness
for the Office to which he aspires and
to which he expects "IFllanaa,isna'
or Brownism to elevate him. Hence,
Messrs. Editors, it will be seen at a
glance that our club was formed out
of the old Confer Club on May 5th,
1885,, and was regularly rcorganized
lin 1890, and is the old club. This
disposes of those charges which
state that l obtained names for the
Oakway Club roll by making false
statements.
AS to the anti-Tillman resolutions
adopted, they were the sentiments of
the members of the club present,
whatever may be the sentiments of
tho community at large, and that the
report made of the proceedings of
said club is correct.
The allusion to profanity in said
card | respectfully refer to the II, xt
Sunday evenings Caucus" of S. S.
Supcrintcndcnts, Deacons and de-
featcd candidates for their considera-
ton.
Messrs. Elrod and DAILY, two of
our members, to whom he alludcs,
will have cards in your next issue
that will explain themselves.
