The Oak Grove Debating Society in

ReSolUed, ''That the political agitation in
South Carolina for the last two years has
been benefit"
The people of South Carolina had q
right to expect that If the Convention
which assembled in Columbia last week
differed with Grover Cleveland in poll
tics and did not wish him for the Demo.
cratic candidate for President, that they
at most would not descend to false
charges and low abuse Of this great man.
Grover Cleveland might be mistaken in
what is best for the country, but the idea
that he is a traitor to the best interests Of
the people, that he has sold himself to
the money kings of Wall street, that he
has prostituted his influence for the pur-
pose of debauching our public affairs is
too ridiculous for consideration, were 1t
not that men of influence with the peo-
ple of South Carolina have declared that
| these things are so. We wonder if a
man cannot be honest and differ with
those who to-day rule our State! We
| wonder if it is crime not to subscribe
to the Ocala Platform! We wonder if
every man who has honest convictions
differing from these demands has be-
come slave to the money power! Who
alone had the manhood to attack the high
tariff in the interest of the laboring
classes ? Grover Cieveland. Who alone
had the moral courage to declare thou
sands of fraudulent pension bills robbery
| and thus save millions of dollars to our
country? Grover Cleveland. Who alone
had the nerve to resist the hungry office
Reform into our politics? Grover Cleve-
land. Who alone since the days Of
Henry Clay has dared to put himself in
| opposition to the politicians, corpora
tions and trusts OF the country and
thereby lose the Presidency? Grover
Cleveland. Is real Craftsmanship
crime? Is rising above party policy a
crime? Is sacrificing personal interest to
the public good a crime? If so, Grover
Cleveland is the criminal he is repre-
sented TO be. would have said nothing
| if our Convention had merely sent anti
Cleveland delegates and protested
against his financial policy, granting that
he is honest in his views. But when
they attempt to represent him as the
slave of Wall Street, a mere tool in the
hands of money kings, feel that it is too
much for me to pass by in silence.
admired, I honored, 1 loved Grover
Cleveland before the Third Party was
heard of. Grover Cleveland was my
ideal of statesman before the Ocala
demands had been conceived. No won
der, then, that the attack on his character
strikes deep into my heart as does into
thousands Of other hearts throughout our
State.
Rev. Charles B. Smith, of Anderson,
preached an earnest and thoughtful SER

Dunlap ant. Miss Maggie Hudgens had
trained the children for the occasion, and
we'll had they accomplished their work.
