LET TIE PEOPLE SPEAK OUT.
The Necessity OF Consultation and Con-
ference Among the Democrats of South
Carolina.

( ference Among the Democrats of South
! Carolina.
! 10 the Editor Of Tile News and
: Courier: The conservative Democrats
Of the State are anXiousiy waiting for
some movement to he inaugrated that
will secure in the coming primaries the
! election of State ticket and General
Assembly that will heal all the differ
| ences in the party. restore t:Ie confl-
dence which formerly existed between
all classes Of our citizens, aud whose
ability and influence in the m0rey
markets OF the country will enable
them to place our State bonds at par
before July, 1898. That the people are
ripe for it the correspondence III the
daily papers and the editorials and cor
respondence in both weeklies and
dailes will show.
The question is no longer Haskell or
Tillman, but facing the fact that our
people are divided among themselves;
the bitterness caused hy the campaign
of 500 continuing to iDjure all branches
Of business; the promises made to
catch votes being broken and scattered
every Gay by the Administration; the
people suffering from the effects Of
short crops, low prices and the failure
to reduce taxes: the credit Of the State
being so seriously impaired as TO make
Brown Consols that were worth 81 C3
in February, 1890, q drag on the mar
ket to-day at 95c, making it timposs!-
bic to refund the State debt; that it is
no longer que: tiGn Of individuals CT
faction politics, but subject which
appeals to the patriotism of every cit
iZen to use his influence to the utm ost
to improve the present condition Of
affairs, and to do this by placing in con-
troll Of the Government men Of broader
and more conservative statesman
ship that would not confine its efforts
to advancing the interests Of certain
individuals or member Of any partic-
ular faction.
1t must be admitted that however
sincere Governor Tillman and the
present Administration were in their
professions of reform in the beginning
of their management of the affairs Of
the State that their offices have caused
them to lose the confidence of many
who were. their warmest supporters,
and the acceptance by Govern or Till
man of free pass from the railroads,
whom he had charged with 'bambooZ-
ling and debauchingn former State
officers and members ofthe Legislature,
and the return of his property for tax
alton far below its market value and
withholding information from other
taxpayers of the State in regard to the
extension of the time for paying taxes,
while he was himself taking advan-
tage Of it by not paying mis- taxes,
makes him subject Of criticism, and
