THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

We publish elsewhere from the News
and Courier the proceedings OF the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee. In our opinion the action OF the
committee is conservative and, the IN
terest of unity, harmony and peace
That is so far as their action had refer
ence TO State matters. We have not
undertaken to keep up with the sum-
ter case.
1t might have been just as well II the
committee had not expressed its sense
On the action of those who did not sup
port the regular nominees IN lo9o, ou1
we see nothing wrong in that.
There can certainly be nothing
wrong in requiring those who vote IN
the primary to make an affirmation to
abide the result of such primary. Such
has been the rule in Newberry County
at every primary election held. No one
should go into the primary election un-
less he expects to abide by the decision
of the majority in such primary. In
no other way can the party machinery
be held together. Of course no one Is
forced te-yote in the primary unless he
so desires, and if he does not vote be IS
not bound by the result.
If all the good Democrats in the
State will just get together now and
stop abusing one another, put aside
prejudice and passion, there will be no.
trouble in selecting good and true men
for Office.
That is the result we devoutly de-
sire TO be reached.

The report comes from Washington
that the Eastern Democrats in Con-
gress say that if the Southern and
Western members insist on the pas
sage of free silver bill, that it will
mean the passage of force bill. Well
politics is a very queer thing. We be-
lieve that Gen. Grant was about right
when he said in substance that the
Democrats could be counted on to
make the blunder at the proper time to
suit their opponents. There is too
much wrangling within the party.

THE OFFICE OF COUNTY COMMIS-
SIOSER.

= good deal has been said recently
about the office of County Commis-
sioner, and we have been asked what
about it, several times since the last
Legislature did nothing in regard to it.
It will be remembered that at the gen.
eral election in 1890, the constitution
was amended by striking out section ~
ofarticle 4,which was the constitutional
provision providing for the office of
County Commissioner.
Now the question has been raised
whether or not this did away with the
office altogether. Some claim, we be-
| lieve, that this amendment carries with
it the statutes on the subject If we
remember correctly one of the Aiken
papers stated that that was the opinion
of the Hon. Jno. Gary Evans, who by
the way was the author of the County
Government bill which was defeated.
If that be true then what right have
County Commissioners to exercise the
duties of the office at all.
Section 500 of the General Statutes
provides for the election Of County
Commissioners and prescrihes their
duties. We are informed that it was
the opinion of the Attorney Generals
office, that the amendment to the con-
stitution repeating the section making
the office a constitutional one, did not
effect the Statutes on the subject so
long as they were in harmony with the
constitution as amended, and it seems
to US that this is good law as well as
common sense. The only effect of the
amendment is that the office is no
longer constitutional one, and as the
Statutes now provide for the election of
commissioners and this Statute is in
harmony with the constitution as
amended, the elections will proceed as
heretofore, and as many of our fellow
citizens as desire, can permit their
friends to prevail upon them to stand
for the position.

The Herald and News does not be-
lieve in that portion of the party con-
stitution which provides for the elec-
ton of trial justices by primary elec-

will put them under obligations to
their friends; and then besides the
Office does not pay enough to secure the
best man in this way.

Here is a pretty mess. Only short
time ago Hon. L. F. Livingston, Con-

of the Georgia Alliance, said that the
Hon. T. E. Watson could not be ad-

count Of his Third party proclivities,
and now comes the Richmond County
Alliance with long resolutions endors-
ing the Hon. Mr.. Watson, and request
ing the resignation of Mr.. Livingston as
President of the Georgia Alliance, on
the ground that they have lost conf
dence in him and his professions.
Truly these are strange times.

THF PARTY CONSTITUTION.

This is not an ''off year, in politics.
In fact we have scarcely had an ''of
YEAR, for the past two years. But this
is the year for the scramble for office. AT
the last State convention held in 1880, a
new constitution was adopted for the
party. The Herald and News pub
lished it in full in 1890. We reproduce
it this week. It would be we'll for you
to cut this out and preserve it. The
campaign will open early this year and
promises to be lively and interesting.
Everything is to be by primary elec-
ton. The voter can cast his ballot as
his best judgment dictates without
being handicapped in any way what
ever, and without any one knowing
how he votes, if he so desires.
The State Convention to be held in
May this year is simply to elect dele
s~s-te-tssasSNsz asSNszaisasl i conventiAn5
Delegs s,s copS @ntion to be held
in septsas0 sao 20 select State officers, "a are
to be elected by1~imaHy y election. The
rules and regulations to govern these
elections are yet to be prepared by
Chairman Irby and DR.. Pope and Ira
B. Jones of the State Committee. Trial
Justices are also to be elected by pri-
mary election, as we'll as Congressmen
and Solicitors. It is well for every
voter to study this constitution, and
become familiar with its provisions.

local Democratic contemporary says:
The proceedings at Washington make il

The proceedings at Washington do not show
tnat the Democratic party can handle even
one great issue at time. The Mckinley
tariff act presented to the country an issue
IL Invited an expression Of opinion from the
country on the soundness of the Republican
policy OF protection TO American labor
How has the Democratic party met that
issue? Substantially with proposition to
take duties off wool. A proposition COW
ering every department Of American indus
try is met by a proposition covering but a
single point. The protective principle which
the Republicans ask decision upon is not
involved by the wool proposition. man
generally in favor of protection might con-
clude that the time has come to admit wool
free. The situation is somewhat analogous
TO that which prevailed in respect to hides
when the latter were put on the free list
We grow wool and also import wool as we
then grew hides and also imported hides.
The party in favor of protection decided
that the interests of the whole country
would be promoted by putting hides on the
free list. While the two propositions are
somewhat analogous they are not closely so.
Wool is a more important factor in the
sheep industry than hides in the cattle in
dustry. The value Of fleeces is a larger
consideration with the sheep-raiser than
hides with the cattle-raiser. 1t might be
neld therefore that while hides should be
made tree foreign wool should be taxed in
the interest OF the home wool-grower Bus
this attenuated point is the breadth of the
issue the Democrats have made with the
broad Republican policy of protection In
wiling antagoDism. They talk about tariff
reform, but beyond admitting wool free
they do not let the country know what tariff
reform means. Our contemporary finds the
Democratic party in Congress so absorbed
in the consideration of this one issue, or
this one small point in an issue, that 1t can
not consider the free silver proposition.

Eliot IS a man Of mature years and it was

Chicago without committee to preserve
him in the rectitude Of his New England
life. and as no signs of an antic DISPOSE

tender mercies OF the wild and woolly
West. Sad is the tale to tell, but it must be
told. At Denver this learned traveller

fathers, 1t Is true. but at that point the re-
sembiance between them has been sup

antics OF gentleman who has never
