Mr.. Editor, we know that our politi.
cal affiliations do not exactly accord.
but there IS no reason that we should
fall out. In our meek way of think
ing, we always propose to discuss mat
tiers in a friendly spirit. The Herald
and News is not held responsible for
ANYTHING that is said through its col
umns, except its own editorials, and
we believe it is always free to express
the sentiments of others, let them ap-
pear on whichever side they may.
In all editorial of The Herald and
News of the 18th instant, under the
headline, "a Very Simple Matter" we
notice some very striking points upon
the democracy of Messrs. Latimer,
Strait and McLaurin. The Herald and
News says that those gentlemen are all
Aliiancemen, and stand upon, believe
in, and advocate and endorse the Ocala
Demands, and that these demands are
opposed to and in conflict with the plat
form of the National Democracy; and
the only question now to he determined
is, whether a man who stands on, en-
dorses and advocates the platform OF
the Third party, (yet says he is a mem
Der of the Democratic party can be a
Democrat? Is be a Democrat or Third
partyite? Can a man be Democrat
and at the same time hold to the prin-
.eiples of the Third party2
We agree With yeus r. tor; Ws
have been of this opinion ever SINGS
there have been so many jferent
parties springing up the past few years
among the white people Of our Old
Palmetto State.
A man cannot De a true Democrat
and at the same time hold to the doc
trines and principles Of any other party:
but The Herald and News must agree
with me that it is a poor rule which
wont work both ways.
So we will just ask few questions
and let them answer themselves:
What kind of party was that which
4. C.. Haskell sprung in 1890" What
class is it that hungers after Federal
pap, and is boasting of being good
Hampton Democrats? Is Wade Hamp-
ton the only true Democrat IN the
State? Why did Hampton leave his
registration certificate in Washington
lust before the election of 1890? If he
was such a true, good old Democrat
could be not have voted without his
registration certificate? wonder II NJ
c.. Butler voted for A. G.. Haskell? II
all the Haskellites were sifted out l
wonder if there wouldn't be about as
big pile OF them as those W DO stand
upon and endorse the principles Of the
Alliance or the Ocala demands-which
ever you prefer to call them?
After looking at all these questions
and a great many more that coulo be
asked, 90 you see where there could
possibly be any good derived for eithe.
