To the Democrats of South Caro-

The following preamble and reso-

representive body of Democrats
coming from large majority of

Democrats in all of the counties or
the State, it becomes my duty as

To the Democrats of South Caro-

Whereas, Under the guidance of
those so-called Democrats, or ma
iority of them, who have control OF
the party machinery in this State,
the leaders of therank and file OF
the party have attempted to COM
NIT them to the Third party and
to Populist doctrines, have alien
ated US from our fellow-Democrats
of the Union, and have brought
the party in South Carolina into
reproach as to it's alignment with
the national Democracy, adopted
false and undemocratic principles
and promulgated them in the name
and under the banner of Democ-
racy; and
Whereas, The Democratic masses
of the State have been grossly be-

party management who have usurp-

HAS GONE TO PIECES
Fate of the Last Big Raft Started
Southwark

ASTORIA, Or, Oct. 15.-The big raft that
left on Friday last for San Francisco was
off the mouth of the river last night, hay-
ing drfted north from Tnlamook Rock
since Saturday evening. The heavy blow
of Saturday set terrific sea rolling, and
the huge bulk oil piling drifted along with
the waves like a great log. The tug still
had bold of the raft, but seemed unable to
make any headway against the sea.
When last sighted the tug and tow were
about five miles to the westward of the
lightship ana drifting slowly north.
Pilot Staples arrived in at o'clock on
the bark Eginshire and states that they
passed through hundreds of piling near
the iightship about O'clock this morning
The pilot is certain that the piling is from
the big raft in tow of the tug Monarch
and thinks it has surely gone to pieces.
Pliot Cordner, who brought in the Cana
dian ship Eskasoni this afternoon. con-
firms the report of Pilot Staples, and adds
mat hundreds of piling, evidently from
the raft. were all about the pilot schooner
early this morning. The Monarch has not
been sighted since yesterday afternoon.
A heavy sea is running to-day, though
the weather outside is perfectly clear,
with but light wind blowing.

The mrs question Father McGlynn an

Of All of Which the Receiver Was

HE DID NOT HAVE TO KNOW.
Ii He Had Known He Would Not
Have Been a Good Busi-

MILWAUKEE. Oct. 15.-Judge jenkins
decision, filed in the United States Circuit
Court to-day, confirms that portion of
Special Master Carey's report exon nerating
Receiver Oakes and commencing his con-
duet.
The decision reviews the masters re-
port IN detail. After referring to the his
tory OF the petition for the removal of the
receivers, stating that it was dismissed by
the court as to Messrs. Payne and Rouse,
and was referred to Master in Chancery
Carey for an examination as to Mr.. Oakes,
The decision states that there were four
questions to be dete rmined by the master ::
Flrst-Whether any Of the Northern Pa
cihc directors had made unlawful gains
out of the Rocky Fork and Cook City deal :;
second, whether any of the directors had
made unlawful gains out of the Manitoba
deal; third. whether there had been un-
lawful gains In the Chicago and Northern
racine deal; and fourth, whether an ex-
orDitant rate had been paid for the prop
erty, whether anybody in the Northern
racine made anything out of the leasing of
the terminal lines. and lastly, whether, in
respect of any of the transactions directed
TO be investigated, Thomas +. Oakes
knew or ought to have known of them,
and what measures. if any, he took In pre-
ventlon thereof for the protection of the
interests OF the Northern Pacific Railway
Company.
The master" the Judge says, "was two
months taking testimony in the matter
and had rendered necessarily lengthy re-
port, but one that is elaborate. indicating
painStaking and thorough scrutiny of
eyIdence and careful consideration of
questions involved"
de then states that the master found
that Henry Willard had made unlawful
gains to the amount Of S363, 691 in the
Manitoba deal, but Mr.. Oakes did not
know and was not bound to know that
Mr. Willard was making unlawful gains in
the acquisition of the Manitoba road by
the Northern Pacific, and that in the
Rocky Fork deal no unlawful gains had
been made by the Northern Pacific drec-
tors, and Mr.. Oakes was not only free
from blame, but had he done otherwise
than he did, "he would have been open
to the just criticism Of either lacking the
business sagacity to he expected of one in
his high official position, or of having seri-
eusly neglected The great interests COM
nitted TO his charge"
Concerning the Chicago and Northern
Pacific deal, tie decision says the termina al
properties were purchased. not for the
Northern Pacific. but with view 10 give
the Wisconsin Central lines terminal facil-
tiles. The court agreed with the master
that the rental was exOrbiiant and that
with respect to the transactions, Mr..
Cakes was not guilty of negligence In
the discharge of his duties.
In conclusion the decision SAYS the
charges against Mr.. Oakes are unfounded
In fact and without support OF evidence.
The question of ordering the receivers to
bring suit against certain directors to re-
cover unlawful gains is held for future de-
ci ision
