SENATOR WATSON'S CGUN-
Sci TO TEE PEOPLE OF
TIE STATE.
BE TRUE TO THE OLD PARTY
THE MAJORITY SHOULD RULE AL
wAYs.-WE OWE THE PARTY
Much AND MUsT STAND By IT
TO THE END-DIyIsIoN MEANS
AN APPEAL TO THE NEGRO.

EDITOR REGISTER: I have never
written an article for publication
I feel that it would be criminal to
be silent row when the very exis-
tence Of the Democratic party in
South Carolina is threatened. /
am Democrat and 1 intend to be
one to the end of the chapter.
allied myself to the Reform party
because it was Democratic. When
occasion seemed to demand it, l
hit some hard licks for Reform.
shall feel it my duty to strike
with all my might all enemies of
the party whoever they may be.
Let all those who do not believe in
majority rule leave the party and
form such alliances as they choose
But let all Democrats staud firm.
| shall stick to the party of my
fathers, aid if she goes down ]
will 90 with her. Let US all fight
for our rights in the party.
Senator Tillman nas made a
great mistake in advising our peo-
Pile to leave the party. We owe
her much and we must stand by
her to the end. Must we leave the
only party that has helped us in
the past if we cannot control it in
every particular today? 1t is OF
the utmost importance that cur
white people stand firmly together
If Senator Tillman's advice is fol-
lowed there will be permanent
division nf our white people and
ultimately al appeal to the lle-
gro. It IS crime to bring about
such condition.
Senator Tiilman says 'oar one
overpowering and overmas!oring
issue in State affairs has been
white supremacy, and this under
the conditions existing before the
new Constitution was adopted
made revolt against the white ma
iority nothing less than q crime"
And, say, it is no less CRIME to-
day. He may call us "cowards
and sycophants and treacherous
leaders now masquerading as DEM
ocrats," bui we will fight fer the
good old party against al! her en-
emies-the only party in which
our rights are assured.
The Piedmont Headlight says
truly "the word Democrat" i'll the
South means more than any polit-
ical movement. 1t means the rule
CT the white majority.
In conclusion let me say again
to every true Democrat IL South
Carolina, stand firm. Be true to
The party of your fathers. Fight
all her enemies.

PEyToN WISE,
Chairman.

Senator Tillman in a letter to
the Register last week reiterates
his statement as to bolting from
the Democratic party. He says
that he will make some speeches
and endeavor to have bolting del
egates sent to the State conven-
ton. His idea is that if the Chi.
cago platform and nominee do not
suit him, he proposes to lead the
delegation out CT the convention
and into the St. Louis silver con-
vention. Will the State of South
Carolina submit to The dictation
of Tillman in that matter? Will
the delegations in convention
elect men to go to Chicago and
then on to St. Lous, if Senator
TIllman is not suited? Let the
light be made in every county. We
believe Spartanburg will send a
delegation to the State convention
loyal to the Democratic party and
the decision of the majority

Sixth Annual Reunion Of the
United Confederate
Veterans.
RICHMOND, VA,
March 25, 1896.
To THE UNITED CONFEDERATE VET
ERANs EVERYWHERE:

ERANs EVERYWHERE:
Your Sixth Annual Reunion
will be held at Richmond, Virgil
MIA, on the 30th June, 1st and 2nd
days of July next.
Widely scattered since the war
hv the ties cf family and old-time
hresjdes, by the demands Of bust
ness, by your natural energies, and
by the necessities of life, you are
coming home-home to the city
which is yours by the supreme
tests of the rain Of fire through
which you went, and of the sea of
blood through which you passed,
on the mission of her common de-
fence. You have been no prodi-
gal sons, for you Inherited only
the remnants of a rapacious raw
age that was rampant everywhere
in your laud; because you had
nothing left but the manhood from
which you were inseparable. But
the fatted calf shall be killed for
YOU, and we shall be merry to-
gether. not because of pity for
your sins, but because pride III
your fame demands.
Yo1 shall traverse again the
streets which thrilled to the tread
of your legions while they were
passing to the ranks of the best
q! my that the world ever knew.
You shall be confronted by the
Vircinians who were the comrades
of your immortal glory and who
are your brothers forever.
You shall see again tbs women
who nursed You back to vigor frnn.
the feeblcneEs of wounds and want
from the wrctched woe OF your
losses. and WHO pointed the dying
gaze OF your fellows to the heaven
which stooped to cnGo,d them.
Your eyes shall behold fer them
selves the city which proudly
wrapped herself i'll your patriotic
flames, from which she has emergg-
ell u thing of beauty and j"y 70:
always.
You shall revisit the battle
fields which have been cnnsacrateG
by your blood, and whera. if YOU
lost your country, you fonn,i u
fame that fills the world.
Heartily helped by our city nj
her citizens, we are building for
you place of reunion in which
ten thousand Of you may make
the well;in ring to the mus" o!
Dixie and to the chorus o.! the
Rebel yell.
On some appropriate day "E t""
Reunion ycu shall be part ana
parc2l OF he rearing Of that 'A3n-
ument which shall be TO .J@tf2rS@"
Davia. not merely because be was
YOUR President and dwelt rs such
in the capital Of Your Cor!ete:n-
cy, but because he was the an
speakab!e type OF that lnetfahle
manhood which made The armies
Of the South.
During your stay here there will
be many bivouaC, where. not Ill
bravado or disloyalty, bat for sweet
memory's sake, will be sung over
again the old songs, told over
again the old tales, fought over
the old fights, yell again the old
yell, and raised again the old flag.
Come then. Come to our hearts
and homes and to these bivouacs.
Before we pass to the great beyond
we ought to have one more bout
and toast together. The toast
shall be to our own memories and
to our Confederate comrades wher-
ever they may be; but it shall car
ry along with it a brave blessing
! for our fellow-citizens everywhere,
determined devotion to the safe
ty, honor, and welfare of the en-
tire country.

Senator Tillman is advising his
friends 10 do just what the ants
did in 1S90-to 60 into the fight
as Democrats and then bolt if our
demands are not needed. Consis-
tency and honestly forbid any
such action, if we view the situa-
ton correctly. If a bolt is to he
made, if the democratic party is
bopelessly impotent and all de-
mocracy abandoned except the
rame, the proper thing is an open,
Straightforward bolt. Temporary
defeat by houest methods is bet
ter thar temporary victory through
deceit and double-dealing. If we
90 into the Conventions we must
abide the results. 1t is the only
brave, honest manly thing to do
