accordingly left bin off the ticket.
Gen. Youmans should not feel as it be
has been discredited.
The Sparsanburg Conservatives who
went iato the primary we're showed
under, and they now feel like it was 8
mistake to go into it. We had enough
of the primary without trying it again
this year.
Senator Tiliman was nominated 10
Edge6eld as delegate to the constitu-
tional convention. but strange to relate.
John C. Sheppard received greater
number Of votes than Tillmau
The Harvey-Horr Financial School,

hope of convincing each other.
Judge Goff refuses to grant the IN
junction againss the Supervisor Of
Registration for Richland County on
the ground that be canpos 60 counter to
the decree of the Court of Appeals set
ting aside the Injunction in similar
case issued BY him sometime ago. This
settles the fact that the election for
delegates 10 the Constitutional Couven-
.ioo will be held without Interference.
There may be contest at sbe general
election in a number of the counties
between the tickets nominated io the
primary ON Tuesday and independent
democratic tickets. aud the fights may
De bitter aud exciting. In a great
mauy Instances the division of delegates
was not carried out in the primary as
promised beforehand, and now there is
much dissatisfaction. This
may develop fight.
The situation in this county is more
satisfactory. for the joint ticket is in-
dependent of the Irby organisation. and
is supported by the people. The ticket
put out by the machine has not
sufficient backing to make it repre-.
sentative of anything save small
coterie of politicians. If this machine
ticket, which received a scattering band.
full Of votes at the farcical primary on
Tuesday. goes to the general election
on the 20tb. instant. the people of the
county who desire to have a represen-
.atise delegation in the Convention.
will have to turn out aud pile mp big
majority for the joint ticket. There is
90 possibility of the election of
negro, or negro-fusion ticket. unless
there is great indifference among tt
white people of the county, or larger
support of the Keels ticket at the
general election than the result of the
primary would indicate. If we are to
have fight at the general election the
majority of the white people are to-
ge.her, they have good ticket to vote
for and good many negroes will vote
for it also. because it is composed Of
men whom they know aud respect.
The Joint ticket will sweep the county.
for it represents true conservatism in
both factions. honest elections aud just
laws.
The Selma, Ala, City Council is
stirred up over the proposition of one

proposition aud the matter is provoking

From The Daily Item, August 3.

by Col. Jas. D. Blandiog explanatory
of an article which appeared in the
State. We are satisfied that Col.
Blaoding is ssill in error as to the viii
lingness of the Conservatives as indivi-
duals, or the Conservative Convention
as body to agree to 60 into the lrby
primary In support Of this opinion We
will quote section sixth Of the deciara-
ton of principles adopted by the con-
vension instead Of the resolutions offer
ed BY Col. Blanding.
Section sixth reads as follows.
9th. To these principles We call on
all Democrats to rally without reference
to former factional differences, and ask
that they support our ticket 10 the eIec-
ton for delegates to the Constitutional
Convention, at the general election to be
held on August 2Otb, 1898.
1t was subsequent to the adoption OF
this declaration of principles that Col.
BlandiDg resigned his seat in the con-
veution. From the text Of the above
section, apart from the general tenor of
the convention, which was strongly
opposed to going into the primary on
any conditions, We should say that 10
stead of .'infereutial|y" agreeing to
participate in the Irby primary the
Conservative Convention inferentiaIly
resolved to disregard the primary and
to run ticket at the general election
on August 20sb. and at no other time.
We understood this to be the meaning
of the section at the time of it's adoption
and We so eonstrue it now. It vas an
appeal to the general election and an
appeal to the people, the democrats of
Sumter County, to support the ticket to
be nominated by the convention, at the
general election. and no reference was
made to the primary 1t was disre-
garded from first to last; and We are
convinced taat had the Reform mass
meeting not agreed to compromise
outside of the primary a full sie:.st
would have bees nominated by the
Conservative Convention and clean
cut fight made at the general election.
1t is we'll known by those who we're
present during the session Of the Con-
servative Convention that at more than
one stage the members became impa.
tient Of the delays Of the Reform meet
ing and the nomination Of full ticket
was on the verge Of being made.
We respect Col. Blandipg and be-
,ieve hiu conscientious in his opinion.
but We cannot agree With him in his
present position. We do not believe
that sny principle has been sacrificed by
the Conservatives, nor that COM
promise has been entered into with
small fraction of the Reform faction.
We know that twelve of the strongest
clubs ont of the ninteen controlled by
the Reform faction we're represented 10
the Reform mass meetirg held July
10Th. These twelve clubs have voting
strength of about 900, and if the joint
ticket receives only two-thirds Of these
votes and none from the other seven
Reform clubs, then it will be elected
without doubt. The result of the prl-
mary indicates that an opposition ticket
can poll bu: very small white vote.
and the inference We would draw is
that the joint ticket will receive not
only large Conservative vote, but also
a very large majority If the Reform
vote.
