Dy political
.-.ure, and let us reason to-
o-.ner with that calm, cool judgement
which charaeterizcs a civilized people.
Let us give Governor Tillman credit for
everything good he has done, and hold him
alone responsible for the evil he has done
III he has not fooled the people worse than
any otEer man that has ever asked for Of
ficc we would like to be convinced to the
contrary. He started his political wave by
declaring that he did not want office, his
highest aspirations were to be trustee of
an agricultural college, and soon after max
Ing this declaration he caused convention
to be held in March, 1890, whereby he was
''suggcstcd' as candidate for Governor.
This move means TO put Governor Till.
man back where he started and where he
properly belongs, and try to unite and uni
fy divided and disrupted democracy, and
the cooperation Of every democrat is want
Cd. 1t cannot be move for the interest
OF those only who opposed Governor Till
man two years ago, because whatever bur
den In the way of taxes, or whatever blum
ders and mistakes have been or will be
made by him, must be borne by oil alike.
The farmers suffer with those who are not
farmers, and what is against them is against
ALL. With all candor, think of these things
and tell us where, when and how you have
been benefited by Governor Tillman,
We are not mad, nor are we making any
night because the farmers have the control
OF the State, on the contrary the farmers
as claes, are the largest supporters of the
government and we think it right that they
should control, but they ought to have the
very best men at the head of affairs. Gov
ernor 11liman Is despot and wants to die
tate and control everything and everybody.
He has lately in o public speech called the
members OF the last Legislature "drift.
wood" and said at Greenville that he WAS
gathering rocks to throw at them in the
campaign this year. Why did he speak In
this manner Because the members of the
last Legislature would not do everything
he tod them TO. They had heads of their
own and he did not like it. He has said
that he wanted legislature elected this
5 year that would do something. That means
nc wants men sent to the Legislature that
would do what he says. Now, fellow cit.
izens, look where we are drifting. Into
the hands of despot and monarch. If he
could get the Legislature to his liking then
ne would soon have the Jadges of his own
; make, and justice would Be a name and
nothing more. They would be afraid to
decide any question or case without the
sanction of the Governor for fear of hay
ing their heads cut off. SO then Jet us

THAT DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
We nnhlish this 1pelk tho coil In f,ll for


We publish this week the call in full for
democratic convention to be held In COL
umbia on the oath of March. The pur-
pose Of the convention is made plain and
wc can zee no objection 10 It, 1t is called
to nominate State ticket against Cover
nor Tillman. The question is, ought this
to he done. Should there be ticket to
oppose Governor Tillman2 Governor Till
man when he was running for office told
the people Of many reforms that were
needed In our State. He said the old officers
were thieves, that something was rotten in
Denmark. He abused the (thcn) officers for
being paid big salaries and for beng fur
nished contingent fund.
He took special delight in calling them
the servants Of monopolies Instead of
tho people because they used free railroad
passes and express franks. lie called them
an oligarchy, ring and aristocratic fellows,
caring nothing for the people except to
sit down in good easy chairs and draw
their salaries. And in fact, according to
Governor 1'illman, it was about all they
done. But Governor Tillman told the peo-
pie that If they would eject him he would
be Moses to them AID lead them out of
the wilderness o. corruption, heavy taxes
and oppression in which the oligharchy
had placed them along the still, placid wa
tcrs Of low taxes, and low salaries Of all
the officers from Governor down. IIc
mentioned many ways Ivy Which he could
save the State thousands Of dollars which
were cxtravagantly spent by the aristocrats
every year. Now the question comes up
has he made these charges and promises
gOod3 We answer he has not. In the first
place he started out in way TINT no other
Governor ever did. When he was inaug-
Grated lie had platform built at cost of
$500. And after he took his scat as Gov
ernor about the first thing he done was to
accept free pass and an express frank
from the railroad companies. He soon
donncd kid gloves and was as much of an
aristocrat as any of his predecessors. Gov
crnor Tillman made the people believe
what he had promised, and after he was
elected the people expected to sec taxes de-
creased, salaries cut down and many offices
abolished. Has it been done? No. On
the contrary Governor Tillman has caused
more trouble than any other man. lie has
caused big loss to the State in the Coo
saw case, he has caused all the banks and
railroads in the State to go into court for
their protection in the tax matter which
means thousands of dollars loss to the
State. He caused q needless lawsuit over
the Agricultural Hall by refusing the pur-
chaser possession after he had complied
with the law. This VIC think means loss
Of several Thousand to the State. In fact
If he has every saved the people one cent
more than any former governor VIC fail ~

HALL EPISODE,


Our contemporary, the Journal COM
mends Governor Tillman for barricading
the doors Of Agricultural Hall against tho
purchaser and legal owner thereof. If the
editor of the Journal had been Governor
he Is too good lawyer, to have made such
blunder. The whole State cabinet could
not have persuaded him to have refused
possession to the purchaser who had COM
piled with the terms of sale. If the pur-
chaser had gone before notary public and
sworn that he would not pay another cent
of the purchase money, the editor of the
Journal would have said, "that is all right
Mr.. Alexander it will be time enough to
see whether you will pay or not, when
your second payment becomes due. If
you do not pay you will be promtly fore.
closed" But Governor Tillman rashly vi
olatcs the law, he is sworn to uphold and
his satellites commend him for it. 1t is all
politics. There are whole dozens of farm
crs in Pickcns county who would have
done better than that, and many of these
too regular readers Of the Journal.
Here is a conscientious ctlititor who
speaks his mind and the truth. The An
dcrson Peoples Advocate, although a dc.
voted administration paper is constrained
to say Of Governor Tillman's action in the
Agricultural Hall case:
1t seems to us that the proper course
would have been to put the purchaser into
possession and then at the proper time
have forcloscd the mortgage. The terms
of the sale had been complied with, the
onc-th!rd of the purchase money had been
paid, the bond and mortgage for the bal,
ancc had Eccn executed and the purchaser
was entitled to possession il seems ta ns

What tho Newspapers Think.

Like the Grecnville News, we arc for
harmony, and VIC like the general tenor and
tone Of the address which has called for
another "March Convention" But two
many cooks always spoil the broth, and
they will all be at the pot when it begins to
boil.-York Enterprise.
The fight inauguratcd by the "thirtcen"
patriots seems TO be q personal one, and
they descend to little things. For instance
they refer to Tillmans little extcmporc
speech at this place in which it is alleged
lie referred to some members of the Lcgis-
laturc as "driftwood." This sort of thing
from cx-Govcrnors, an cx-United States
SeratOr and cXmcmbcrs of the Lcgisturc
other cx-Otlicia!s, and one or two present
members of the Legislature is by no
means dignificd, to say nothing as to its
business or ropricty.-Laurens Herald.
The antis have called for convention
to meet next month, to try to find man to
run against Tillman. They will Simply
help to elect him. The Haskelians say
they want q candidate too, but they want
TO run their man in the Democratic party
first and then take him in the Intlepcnt par
ty for final defeat Manning Times
The Democrats of South Carolina have
been terribly divided for tho past two years
There is no sense in this state of affairs
lasting any longer. There is no need for
any class or any faction to question the
motives of the other. If we ever get to
gcthcr there must be some concessiO
each side. Very foolishly we have
divided over one man.-Ncwbcrry
