Probate Judges. c.. CUNNINGHAM
Iillmanite, defeated at the primary.
School Commissiouer-James Wioo
notorious Republican, who was put
out OF the fusion ticket some time ago.
Supervisor-W. +. Sanders, Tillmsn-
lite, defeated at the primary.
From the above there IS no doubt
that deal has been made to give the
Repu ubilcans the county to get the paltry
sum OF tour votes for TilIman for the
united States Senate. They are very.
confident of being elected and their
leaders are willing to bet that they will
get elected. Letters have been seen
mere from some ofthe "gods" in Colum-
Ola begging men on the Tlllman side
10 run for various offices and assuring
them OF their election. It does verv
we'll for Governor l'illman to sing
Whltesupremacyin in the dp-country. but
when be gets on the coast he tries to |
stun some of the rankest Republicans
down our throats. REr
Beaufort, October 26, 1894.
WHAT HAS ELLIOTT TO DO WITH IT?
lThe State, 30th inst.l
Governor Tillmau last night gave to
the press the following self explana.
tory letter:
Beaufort, S. c., Oct. IA. 1894
Gov. B. R. Tillman, Columbia, S. c.: r
My Dear Sir-PIease let me thank
you for your kindness and interest in
Lhe manner of theappointmento of com.
nlssloners Of Federal election. The

1t least, of each board is ACCEPTABLE
either to me or to my friends. who
lave been consulted. Yours very truiv. {
~ n WILLIAM ELLIOTT.
Gov. Tillnan also gave the following 8
accompanying statement:
while do not, as a common THING | O
lotlce any anonymous charges or edi- '
orlal criticism in either the News and n
'ourer or The State, as a matter of G.
lstice to Col. Elliott, as well az to NV b
ELL give MS letter to me to the press, =,
ecause, II the Idea should get abroad tl
mohg the Reformers in that district q
nat want him beaten, be had as well :
ome down. 1t will takei the united r
1orts OF all tie white men of both fac.
ons to elect him. *
"As | understand the situation in q
eaufort there has been only one Dem Y

the State Democratic convention. -
1d Mr.. Martin is the member of the =.
ate committee, representing the De-
ocracy OF Beaufort. The other So 4

q Haskellltes, refused to recognize the
oy com mlttee or to send any delegates,
q their fusion with the negroes ia not
ore Democratic than the Porcher
alth-lndependent ticket is in Berke- K
4 appointed the commissioners of
ctlon IN Beaufort, as did elsewhere
that district, for the sole purpose of
clng the machinery in the hands of
sted Democrats, who will try to see
It the nominees Of the party have
play, and to try 20 elect them, if it
honestly be done. In Beaufort, as
II as IN Georgetown, there have been
years fusion or mixed tickets, the
oublcans taking certain Offices and
certain men to fill these n.
ces, and the Democrats filing the III
of the ticket. My policy has been I'LL
ply not to interfere in these local
lbinations. I have recognized that
white men, living in those commu.
es are peculiarly situated, and must
be best they can to prevent strife
'een the races and stop corruption
ocal affairs. Col. Elliott's letter
vs. that be recognizes this, and if
daskellites don't like it, am sure | 0F
'p't care, as I am not trying to I'll
