Butler and TilIman.

One of the most improbable discus
sions that has ever come to our attention
is that which is Low going on between
Senator Butler and Governor Tillman, OF
South Carolina.
These politicians are contending TOR
the senatorship which Butler now holds
and which Tillman wants and will prob
ably get.
Their speeches have little relation to
the public questions. The main object
of each of the contestants seems to be TO
say as many mean things about each
other as possible and to arouse the pas
sions of the crowds that waste their time
by going to hear them. When these
Joint discussions between Butler and
Tillman are over probably not one man
in South Carolina will be one whit better
informed on any issue Of the day than he
was before and if the people believe what
the speakers say about each other they
must conclude that neither of them is fit
to be senator. There seems to be very
little difference between Butler and Till
man, Judging them by their records and
uttersn ces on political issues. Butler has
gone almost as far as Tillman In the
propagation of financial heresies and at
the special session of the Senate appeared
to be pandering to the element that is In
control of South Carolina politics, an
element that Is nearer to Populism than
to true Democracy.
The sterling Democrats Of South Caro-
lima despise Tillnlan. but find it impos-
sible to enthuse over Butler. The course
of the joint discussion is not calculated to
inspire thinking people.
When Senator Butler 'denounces" and
"brands" Tillman he only does what
many others have done before and what
Tillman has never resented in any other
way than to repeat the mean insinuations
which provoke such wrathful express
sions.
When it comes to personal abuse Till
man Is more than match for his oPpo-
nent and Senator Buffers most fiory de-
nunciatiops will not improve Tillmen's
sense of deoenoy or weaken his wonder
full gall. Tillman rather enjoys the sort
of treatment Butler Is giving him. He
courts it on all possible occasions and
accepts it in the meekest possible spirit.
There is nothing edifying, elevating or
instructive in the joint discussions now
going on between Butler and Tillman.-

The Registration Fight.

COLUMBIA, June 22.-It was generally
thought when the State Supreme Court
declined to act upon the constitutionality
of the State registration laws some weeks
ago and postponed the consideration OF
the cases pending till after the election
that the Republican State Executive
Committee would let things rest Just
.here, but hear to-day that the commit
tee does not propose to let the matter rest
without having any effect upon The COM
ing election. From what 1 can gather
the committee is now talking of some
action before the end of Novem Der.
which will make things pretty lively
very soon after the coming general elec-
ton.
The committee has been told by many
of the best lawyers In the State that the
registration law Is clearly unconstitu-
tional, aud acting upon this assumption It
Is pretty safe to say that the committee is
preparing to contest every election that
NAV be held in the State in Novem Der:
It seems that they will have all qualified
voters to 90 to the polls and try to vote.
A record will be kept of each man. The
committee will probably arrange to have
candidates run for Congress In each Con,
gressional district, and the record OF
applicants to vote will be kept. Particu-
larly understand will this kind OF a
fight be made in regard to the vote as to
the Constitutional Convention, The law
requires that none but those having
registration certificates can vote on the
matter of calling such a convention.
Then il the law governing the obtaining
of such certificates is unconstitutional 1t
must then necessarily follow that the
vote for the convention must be null and
void. ,,,.
Exactly what manner of fight will be
pursued in the contest has not yet ap-
peared, but it may be regarded as pretty
certain that the committee is not going 70
let things rest as they are. It is thought
by the Republicans that the next Con-
cress will not be Democratic, and con-
tests of seats therein will prove interest,"
ing. simply give this information as l
gather it for the benefit OF those who may
BE concerned. 1t may be a little prema-
ture, but feel safe in predicting that the
committee will undertake to bring the
matter up in the shape of such contests
Through some means or other. 1t is pos
sible, too, that State ticket may be put
out in the coming campaigp.-Special to

Doctor Pope Makes q Proposition.

TO the Reform Voters Of the Democratic
Party:
The perpetuation of the reform move
ment depends upon the manner of con-
ducting the ensuing primary. Under
the rules of the State primary, candidates
are required to get majority of the vote
cast, and if more than one are running
for the same office and none get major.
ity in the first primary then second
primary settles it, the two highest IN the
first primary being the candidates IN the
second. There is therefore no danger OF
a conservative getting a majority, except
in those counties controlled by them,
which are few in number. In other
counties conservative and reformer
would run it over and the reformers
would concentrate on the reform candi-
date at the second primary.
The reform executive committee have
ordered an intervening primary between
the reform candidates for governor ana
lieutenant governor to take place on the
- day of August which will be in ad-
vance of the county meetings; In some
of the counties it is proposed to substitute
mass meetings for q primary; the candi-
dates for governor have already been
forestalled in some of the counties by re-
form clubs endorsing certain candidates:
This is unfair, to say the least OF 1t. II
all the other candidates, even those run
ming for the general assembly which Is
to elect q United States Senator, are al
lowed to submit their claims to the gen.
eral primary, why not the candidates for
governor and lieutenant governor?
Tho conservatives say that they will
not run a candidate for governor and
lieutenant governor if they are allowed
to choose one from those running, but il
not allowed to do so that they may not be
bound by the action of the reform pri-
mary. We are for peace and fair deal:
ing, We are opposed to rings and
clioues. Then let us give them an equal
chance with us. All white men are al
lowed to participate in the general .pri.-
mary who will take the oath prescribed
by The general assembly. This is step
forward IN the Interest Of peace and har-
mony. Then let all have fair showing.
The reform executive committee can be
called together and they can rescind their
call for primary, and the State demo-
cratic executive committee can make the
necessary arrangements for box at each
poll for State officers and fix it 30 that
those who get the majority in the respect
i've counties shall receive the vote OF the
delegates from those counties to the State
convention. All of the candidates are
pronounced reformers; no advantage can
accrue tc any one of them over the 9TH
ers.. I am willing to take my chances In
the primary and believe that the other
candidates will be willing also.
Respectfully,
SAMPSON POPE.

Quietly at Work In the Counties.

COLUMBIA, June 20.-1 notice that aside
from the State campaign the Reformers
in the various counties Of the State are
doing little more real wo =, The Ne-
form executive committees have already
begun work to thoroughly organize eY-
cry county. Circulars are being sent
out by the several chairmen calling upon
all Reform clubs to meet during this
month, reorganize and make new rolls.
Each club Is requested also TO see that
its members "are all provided with reg
istration certificates" This is doubles
scheme of Governor Tillman to draw
the lines close in advance so that he will
know what he can expect in the election
of members to the Legislature. 1t Is
stated about this city that arrangements
are being made for the holding Of pre-.
liminary primary election in every coun-
ty, to be held strictly within the Reform
ranks, for the specific object of having
the Reformers agree upon some one can
didate for each office upon whom they
can consolidate their force in the general
primary. It Is thus seen that every
thing from Reform standpoint is
not merely depending upon the cam
paign work which is now being publicly
done.
There are great many features OF the
campaign work of this year which are
not appearing on the surface at the pub
lie meetings, and most of the work which
Is to tell when the counting of the ballots
begins is being done in each county be-
fore the campaigners arrive and on the
quiet. So far the liquor fight has taken
but small part in the campaign fighting,
and the people are still as much in the
dark in regard to it as ever. But one
thing Ia certain. the RefOrmers are not
worrying themselves much about the
dispensary law just now. The time ls
not ripe yet for action along that line. 1t
can be stated, however, that the dispen-
sary law has not yet passed into history.
It may drop out of sight tempora..
rily, but before many more months roll
,, around it is going to be on the statute
books again.
In talking to friend the other day
Governor Tillman said that the law was
not dead and it was not likely to die. He
said the law is stronger now than ever be-
fore. The people when the Constitution
al Convention comes along, he contends,
are going to give the State the direct
power to 90 into the business. He stated
positively that the law was constitutional
and was fixture as far as South Carolina
Ia concerned. Very shortly, however,
some very interesting information as to
the future of the dispensary law will be
available. Just at present 1t Is not the
desire of those interested 70 push the IL
quor question to the front in the cam
paign.-,SpecidI to Nel0s and Courier.

q The Columbia correspondent Of the
7aeiSs and Courier, writing under date Of
Tune 2Srd says: s'With the meeting at
Sumter to-day the first week Of the politi-
caIcampaign of 1894 will conclude. All
along the people have been looking to
sthe opening week of the campaign to
indicate what the issues Of the campaign
Wonld be. Some of the main issues that
were expected to be sprung are still in
the background. The liquor question as
aquestion has not figured at all 30 far in
the discussions. AS we expected, the
State campaign work has been comp mpletely
driven into the background by the dis
cussions between Tillman and Butler.
These discussions, too, have been more
ofa personal nature than anything else.
I So far It has been nip and tuck between
STiHman and Butler, at least so the politi-
scisns here consider it, and if the election
were to be held tomorrow and the peo-
pie were to be allowed to vote for their
choice for Senator thsre would scarcely
he q vote changed as q result of the
week's work. There is good deal of
complaint among those who are taking
sintsrest in the State campaign about the
sida-tracking of the discussion of issues
among the candidates for Governor.
Those, too, who are looking out for the
cause Of good government say that they
sare surprised that the people are not
being given any opportunity to hear from
candidates for tho other State Offices in
accordance with the constitution of the
Democratic party. The concensus of
political opinion here shows that the first
weeks work has really amounted to
nothing from practical standpoint. It
has shown, however, that the liquor
question isl to be kept out of the campaign
as much as possible; that the Prohibi-
.tionists are BOT in it; that Tillman and
Butler are sparring with each other for
personal political advantage; that John
Gary Evans is apparently the most popu-
lar candidate for Governor, and, more
than all, that the people of the State are
taking but very little interest in the cam
,pdgning. The temper Of the crowds is
nothing to compare with what it was two
;years ago. There is striking absence
OF bitter feeling between neighbors. The
secret of it all IS no doubt that the ma
iority OF the people are not taking that
Interest in either candidate that they
hare taken heretofore"
