For several days We have been bear
log rumors that the Republicans of this
county have planned to seize the ballot
boxes ou election day and either destroy
them or so tamper with the contents as
10 inyalidate the election. We have
mt the least reason to doubt that such
a scheme is on foot, for it has been dis
cussed in the hearing of certain men
Who we're not bound over to keep the
secret and they have since divulged the
secret We do not know whether the
schemers will have the boldaess aud
nerve to put the scheme ioto execution
at the great hazard they must necessarl-
II take, but it is possible that there be
some of-them SO foof-hardy. 10 view
of the mere rumor, whether it be sub.
staotial or not, it behooves the white
men. the Democrats. of Sumter county.
to be oa guard on election day and see
that no interference with the election Is
permitted We urge The Democrats Of
the county to have sufficient Dumoer
of cool ADD fearless men at each pre-
cinct to Illustrate any attempt to
seize the boxes or interfere io anyway
whatsoever with the quiet. orderly aud
legal management of the election. No
risks should be taken, and it will be
much better to take the proper pfecau-
tions ID advance thao to neglect to do
so uptil it is too late for anything save
regrets. The situation is not at all
complicated and is very easily solved:
There ere rrmo,s of a conspiracy to ln-
terfere with the election; the rumors
NAV be either we'll founded or mere
idle stories; but be that as 1t may, 1t
will not do to take chances aud it is the
duty of the Democrats to see thatthe
election is held without interference,
they should keep as many men as shall
be necessary to protect the boxes at each
precinct from the time the polls cpeo
until the votes are all counted.
Remember :hat no one will be allow
ed to vote who cannot produce regis
tra,ion certificate. a poll tax receipt, and
a receipt for all ia xes due six months
prior to the election. In default of the
tax receipts certificate from the
County Treasurer that all taxes have
been paid will serve the same purpose
as the original receipts. Every Demo-
cras iu Sumter coupty should look up
registration certificates and tax receipts
aod have thea IN readiness fos election
day. If the tax receipt cannot be found
apply 1t once to Treasurer Scarborough
for a certificate You cannot vote
without registration certificate and evil
dence Of tbe payment of all taxes due.

SILVER'S BRIGHT PROSPECTS
0mptroller Eckels Declares Financial
Question will Be Paramount Issue
in Coming Campaign.
SILVER DEMOCRATS SWEEPING lLLlNOI
President Warner, OF American Bime
tallic Union, Now Believes Dem
ocrats Will Nominate Silver
Candidates.

Chicago, May ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says: "There
is no question that the financial question
is the paramount issue to the exclusion
of the tariff" said Comptroller Eckels,
party lines will not be drawn SO closely
as people imagine and there will be a
great many surprises before the con test
for the presidency is ended.
"Ihe caucuses held thus far in Illinois,
Indicate that the s. YER men virtually cou-
trol affairs. If the sound money men win
the fight in Chicago, they may be able to
stem the current in Illinois, which is ap-
parently setting 80 strongly in the direc-
tion of the free coinage of silver"
GEN. WARNER FRANKLY ADMITS HIS ERROR.
Cnicago.--Gen. A. j. Warner, president
of the American Bimetallic union. believed
short time ago that both the Republican
and Democratic conventions would be
controlled by the gold standard men, but
he thinks otherwise now. He said to-day:
II believe the Democrats will ad,pt /!
silver platform and nominate free coin
age candidates. If the Democratic ma
| tional convention adopts straight, out
and out blmetalio platform and nomi-
mates safe candidates on such platform,
there would be no excuse for another sil-
yer party.
"Unite and conquer is our watch
word. Division means defeat. Ex-Gov.
Boies, of Iowa, who has just won vic
tory in the Hawkeye state, undoubtedly
would make a safe candidate. With Sen
ator Blackburn, of Kentucky, Morgan, of
Alabma, or, perhaps better to suit the
Peoples party, Judge Caldwell OF st.
Louis on the other end of the ticket, it
would make very strong one"

Liberal Leader Harcourt Bitterly De-
nounces Governments Arbitrary
Management of Agricultural
Land Bill.

London, May 22.-At noon to-day the
house of commons was still in session,
having sat continuously for twenty -one
hours. The deadlock is over the agrl-
cultural rating bill providing for re-
duction of rates on agricultural land.
At 4 O'Clock this morning closure was
moved. Several members refused to en-
ter the division lobby. Speaker Gully
named John Dillon, anti-Parnelite lead
er, DR.. Tanner, Donald Sullivan, David
loyd-George and John Herbert Lewis
for disobeying the chair.
The conservative leader, Mr.. Balfour,
moved the suspension of the members
named. The motion carried.
Michael Davitt and Daniel Macallesse
persisted in remaining in the house dur
ing the division, whereupon the sergeant
alarms was summoned by the speaker to
remove them. This was done in the
usual formal manner, Davitt and Mac
allesse repudiating any intention to show
disresp pect to the chair.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Liberal
leader, moved to adjourn the debate,
claiming that the house was not in a fit
condition to continue the discussion.
The speaker declined to accept the
motion.
Mr.. Balfour said that the government
proposed to continue sitting until the
bill was complete.
Repeated closures followed.
At $50 a. M, Sir VIM. Vernon Harcourt,
Liberal leader, again tried to adjourn the
the house, declaring that the governments
"fata] passion for closure had destroyed
the good feeling and faith of the house,"
adding, sin my long experience l never
knew bill conducted in such an arbitrary
manner"
Mr.. Harcourt's motion WAS defeated.
Finally at 80 p. m., all the clauses OF
of the bill we're agreed to and the house
adjourned until June /.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
HOW ILLINOIS STANDS.

Chicago.-In giving out his bulletin on
the progress of the silver campaign in
this state, Secretary Nelson, of the Demo-
cratic state committee, said:
swell, we knocked out the gold standard
fellows in La Sale county and will clean
them out in Chicago next week. That
will be the end of the opposition to silver
in this state. The gold Democrats quit
the fight in Indiana before they got licked,
showing their good sense, and over 10
Iowa they acknowledged themselves beat
on, so you see that with Kentucky we will
control the national convention without
much of struggle. The victory is al
ready won. All we have to do now is to
pick out our candidate for the presidential
nomination. A good many in this state
want Morrison. Over in Iowa they will
present Boies to the national convention,
and he may develop much strength.
expect that during the next ten days or
two weeks We shall hear good deal about
a presidential candidate to represent the
silver interest. We shall have no difficulty
in re-electing Altgeld in Illinois, and il
the right man Is put up and we carry the
national convention for silver, we shall
defeat the Republican nominee for presi-
dent, no matter who he may be-"

as the pre.eminent issue. It is announced
that in all directions the plans suggested
are being carried out. In many statef
there have been conferences between tht
leading free silver Democrats and repre-
