age and at said convention to elect two

Let this be Settled.

Here of late we have noticed several
newspaper squibs to tho effect that those
who opposed Tillman have begun 10
abuse him and therefore improve his
chances for second term. So far as we
have seen, however, in nearly every in
stance the abuse has come from those who
in 1890 were induced TO vote for him.
Having been deceived, some allowance
must be made for those men now that
things are shown to be so unlike what
they seemed.
The nti-administration men are re-
markably fair and Just in their criticisms.
It is true that they commented on the acts
the administration and showed up incon-
sistencies, but that is net only the privi-
lege of the press, but duty.
There is just one point, however, that
ought to be settled now, and that is, as to
the legality of the party of which Senator
Irby Is chairman. If that is The Demo-
cratic party, it is worse than, folly to be
all the while objecting to its acts and in
timating that its orders will not be re-
garded.
There is no use to throw away all
chance of success by interposing unrea-
sonable objections. Unless the differences
of two years are healed and assurance is
given that the minority Of the Democrats
will yield to the majority in the coming
contest, though Governor Tillman were
worse than he is and more unworthy than
his record shows him, he would be elect
ed.
The rank and file of the white people of
theState are, first of all, Democrats. They
love their party for what it has done in
the past and what it promises for the fu-
ture. They are not to be drawn out Of it
nor driven, and the sooner those who are
to oppose Tillman recognize that the
coming fight is to be strictly within the
party and to end when the candidate is
named, the better it will be for them.
This paper stands now where it stood
two years ago. We have found Governor
Tillman just about what we expected.
When five years ago the writer heard him
make his third public speech, in which he
said he could not by any possibility be
made to accept Office, we believed he was
the office-seeker he proved to be. Since,
one by one, the charges OF the campaign
were retracted, since the promises of the
campaign have been ignored, we have
h
than ever, but If he Is put up, even with
his record, as the Democratic candidate,
the Herald will support him. Weare not
ready to leave the party, and hence we
are bound to support its nominees

Cattle Starving by Thousands.

PORTLAND, ORE, January 2s.-The
Oregonian's Boise City, (Idaho) special
says: "Thousands of cattle are slowly
starving to death in the hills of Southern
Idaho. The loss to the stock raisers will
be tremendous. Every blade Of grass
upon the ranges is under from twenty
two to sixty inches of snow. This win
ter has not been equoled in severity since
1870. A rigorous season was not antici-
oated by ranchers and they delayed
bringing the cattle to the low lands. The
lelay has proved fatal, and well-known
stockman said to-day that every domestic
animal left in the hills is sure to meet
death either from cold or hunger.

a Tennessee Tragedy.

MEMPHIS, January 2S.-The most sem
sational tragedy which has occurred in
Memphis for years was committed this
afternoon. The victim was Miss Freda
Ward and tho slayer was Miss Alice
Mitchell.
Both were familiar figures in society
and the awful affair is the talk of town
tonight. Miss Mitchell is 10 years old, q
daughter of George Mitchell. retired fur
niture dealer, and she and Miss Johnson,
in the latter's stylish turnout were a
familiar sight OH the drives about the city.
Miss Ward is daughter of John Ward,
planter aud wealthy merchant of Gold
Dust, Ark.
at the inquest this evening the jury
rendered verdict charging Miss Mitch
ell with the killing, aud that it was pro-
meditated. It is alleged by several per-
sons that Miss Ward had made remarks
of decidedly uncomplimentary nature
regarding Miss Mitchell and this is
supposed to have been the cause of the
tragedy.
This afternoon buggy containing
Miss Mitchell and her friend, Miss Lizzie
Johnston, drove up to the custom house.
Coming slowly along the pavement chat
ting pleasantly were Miss Ward, of Gold
Dust, Ark, and hor sister Joe. Suddenly
from her carriage bounded Miss Mitchell.
Catching Miss Ward by the neck she
drew razor across the throat Of her VIC
tim. Miss Ward sank to tho pavement
and in q n oment she was cold in death.
The murdered girls sister received tri-
fling cut. Miss MITCHELL jumped into her
buggy with the exclamation, "Drive on,
I've done it," and the pair drove home
where Miss Mitchell was arrested.

q Holocaust In Greenyille.

GREENv1LLE, January 2S.@Sandy
Young, colored, and his two children
were burned to death at their homo In
this city shortly before o'clock this
morning. Their charred and limbless
bodies were taken from the ruins by fire.
nc en-. The house was small one and was
IN tho western part of the city. Young's
widow says when she awoke the house
was in flames. She escaped by door,
but Young attempted to save his two
children, aged and 8 respectively, and
all three perished. There is some suspi-
oion of foul play, but the evidence before
the coroner's jury to-day did not confirm
the suspicious. The three people wero so
horribly burned that nothing was found
but the trunks of their bodies.

THE Way To RESTORE UNITY.

The suggestion has been made that
q 8Convention be held at an early day by
those persons who desire change from
the present control of government for the
purpose of agreeing upon a plan of ac-
tor, OF efecting an organization and for
such other preliminaries as may be de-
sired. OF conrse the ultimate and most
important object Of this Convention
would be to put candidates in the field
against Tillman and his supporters.
The State is advocating this course. Be-
fore entering on discussion of this sub
ject we wish to know the opinion of the
State upon question concerning which
the daily press has been strangely silent
or: has expressed only indirect opinions.
The question is this Does the State (and
other dailies) accept as true Chairman
: Irby,s statement that there can be no
primary direct for nominees for State Of
ficerst for as tho May Convention, as pro.
& yided for in the Constitution of the party,
Is called for specified purposes, none OF
which relate to a consideration Of the
method by which candidates are to be
Iominated, that therefore that Convention
cannot take this subject under considera-
ton?
- II the Constitution cannot be changed
by q Convention Of the people when they
see proper, then Constitution is dan
sgarous thing. This same Constitution
declares that no Club formed since Au-
g1st 13, 1890, shall be recognized as a
Democratic Club. This is just as binding
as that section of the Constitution which
declares that the May Convention shall
consider only certain matters, and there
fore no others not named therein.
H the INTE1LIaEN and the Green
syF1,lesE Enterprise and Mountaineer are
wrong in contending that the May Con-
yention can take steps providing for di-
rect primary, why hold convention as
suggested by the Syates Any o1ganiza-
tion effected then would not be recogniz-
eds by the present Executive Committee,
4 for the Constitution so declares.
Such Convention, then, would be
acting outside of the Constitution, and
therefore would be another "strayed out"
movement.
Why cannot tho May Convention pro-
vide for direct primary for State off,
s3cers Until convinced that it cannot we
viii continue to advocate such a change

them for years--a direct primary. INTEL
1igsnt people do not want SO much cir
