THE REPUBLICAN RECORD


We invite the attention of electors
to the humiliating record made by
the Republican party in it's recent
restoration to power in this State.
In full control of all branches of the
State government. equipped with
complete power to accomplish prom
ised reforms, it has prodigally
wasted the peoples money and for
feited public confidence by its def.
ance of the popular will aud it's
scandalous disregard Of the public
welfare. As result of their less
than Que year of power. State taxa
ton has been increased $4,500,000
the tax has been raised from 2.lS to
to 3 "a !; many new and expensive
State commissions have been Gre
ated, hundreds of thousands of dol
lars have been fruitlessly and un.
necessarily expended by legislative
committees in searching through the
State departments for democratic ini-
quities, which were not found, be-
cause they did not exist; the prin-
ciple of home rule has been deliber'
ately aud continually violated the
civil service reform laws have been
flagrantly disregarded and especially
in reference to the deserving vet
erans; and the entire legislative
record has been enc Of scandal, In
competence and extravaganza.
Upon such a record of faithless-
ness to public trust, the Republican
party deserves the condemnation o1
the people at the polls and the Dem.
ocratic party invites the cooperation
of all citizens in restoring good
government to the Empire State.

Happy.
The Royal Victoria Yacht Club Ac-
ton Clinches the Challenge For
the Americas Cup and
Downs Dunraven.

New YoRK, September % The ac-
tiou of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club
in to-day sending formal challenge by
mail in the name of Charles D. Rose,
confirms the correspondence which has
already passed. and clinches the chal
lenge of the distant shore for the Amer
ica's cup. 1t only remains for the New
York Yacht Club to take action on The
challenge and send to Secretary Thel-
lusson. of the Royal Victoria Yacht
Club, the formal acceptance Of the chal-
lenge. This will be done at so early
day and series of races for 1896
will then be assured.
The prompt endorsement by the
Royal Victoria Yacht Club OF Mr..
Roses offer to challenge was very graft
flying to members Of the New York
Yacht Club There had been some
talk of difficulty in obtaining the back
ing Of a prominent British club for the
cha. .leDger. or at least of delay until
after Lord Duoraven had returned to
England and stated his grievance to
the royal yacht squadron. But the
readiness to challenge by the Royal
Victoria and the willingness of the
challenger to leave all conditions to the
cup committee showed that there are
Britons who have confidence in Amer
ican fairness. The challenge is abso-
lutely unconditional Instead Of the
weeks that we're spent by Lord Dun
raven and the cup committee in CORES
posdence by post and cable prior to the
challenge of 1898 and 1895. there has
been nothing but an informal offer by
cable 70 challenge, on September %, a
reply as to the form the challenge
should take and the transmission Of the
official challenge to-day.
The whole business bas practically
been completed iu FIVE days. The chal.
leuger has named his yacht and the
length of the load water line as requir-
ed by the deed Of gift under which the
cup is held. he has left the dates,
courses aod conditions to the cup COM

The Sumter Memorial.

V'e do not know who is the author
of the petition presented to the Con-
vention on Monday on behalf of GER
tain .citizens of SUMTER and we do
not know any of the citizens whose
names are attached to it. 1t does not
matter, however, who wrote it or
who signed it; the paper speaks for
itself and speaks for every honest
citizen of the State.
Setting out with well considered
statement of the evils of corrupt or
tainted ballot, the petitioners come
directly to the point and cover the
whole question as it is presented to
the Convention in commercially few
words.
The statement as to the part of the
section quoted is very frank and very
strong 1t is also true. The words
do "contain in themselves the ele-
ments of fraud" They are put in
the section to render fraud practical
BILE and easy. That is their under
stood and avowed purpose-avowed
before the Convention assembled or
its members were elected, and gener-
ally understood then and now. We
hope, too, that the honorable Conven-
tion will SO far regard its honor and
the honor of the State as to refuse to
incorporate them in the organic law
of the State, to stand as a reproach
to the people of the State forever. 1t
is bad enough that the people of
South Carolina have been compelled
by an outside and unfriendly power
to resort to trickery at the polls to
protect themselves from grave politi-
Cal evils. They should not be cor
cupted by their own representatives!
Anything is better than the deliber-
ate adoption of political fraud and
dishonesty as a principal, whether for
a hundred years or for one day. Any
plan for the regulation of the suffrage
is better than a plan containing and
intending to contain 1.-The elements of
fraud" We need to go backward
on this course. not forward, to edu-
cate the people to do right, not to
set them the highest possible exam.
pie in doing what is wrong The
Convention should strike out the
words in question whatever the
cost or the consequences
Whatever regulation may be i'm
posed on the suffrage let them "be
uniform. impartial, fair and of an un-
changeable and unequivocal stan
dard." We should not entertain any
suggestion, even, Of any other kind.
If such regulations Can not be de-
vised in a week or month let the
Convention remain in session until it
can devise them. 1t had better Sit
for year than 10 adopt any dishon-
est scheme, or any schemes that con
templates dishonesty on the part of
those vino shall be appointed or
elected to administer It. We can
better bear the ills we have than to
resort to dishonest and dishonorable
means to correct them or to rid our
selves of them.
1t is a critical point in the affairs
and history Of our State truly and
we Lave reached it BY insidious de-
grees surely, when Constitutional
Convention is called on to choose be.
tween adopting a course that will be
honorable to the State aud a course
that will disgrace it. The Conven-
tion should not hesitate long in
reaching a decision or such All issue.
