THE ENEMY'S GAME OF
BLUFF.

This country cannot be stampeded
by the Demopop-free-silver combi-
nation the way the Chicago conven-
ton was for Bryan. The latter was
u packed aggregation of political
dementia. There was ninety-five
per cent. of hysteria to five per cent.
of level headedness in that body, and
the man who could best appeal to
the emotional temperaments and
rainbow imaginations of the crowd
was the best fellow and bound to
win.
. But in the country at large the
percentage of substantial solid sense
is much greater than the froth of
folly that floats on the surface. The
Bryan papers have adopted the
policy of claiming everything. In
this way they hope to get up panic
among the Republicans. But they
are too late. The Bryan scare
reached its maximum within a week
after his nomination. Since then
the reaction has set in and is now
plainly obvious to every political OBJ
serves. Bryan S superficial and
snowy talents have not even stood
the preliminary test already given
them.
Despite all the Demopop papers
say, the Republican party is going
almost en- masse for Mckinley while
the few losses will be vastly over
balanced by gains from the ranks of
the sound money Democrats. Our
advices show that the free silver re-
ports of large OBJECTIONS among Re-
publican farmers are false. The
farmers are for Mckinley, protec-
ton and an honest dollar. Advices
from the western states further
show that there is no such body of
free silver sentiment there as has
be IN represented. Men who have
travelled through Iowa, Nebraska,
the Dakotas, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Indiana and other sections say they
are surprised at the impression in
the east that everybody in those
states is going for free silver and
the revolutionary platform of the
Chicago convention. They declare
that there is a powerful body of
sound money sentiment in that re-
gion, and that the Republicans are
sure of nearly all the states named.
Bryan will be lucky if he carries his
own state.
Republicans should take no stock
in the eXtravagant claims of acces-
siOns to the free silver ranks in the
rural districts of the country made
by the Bryan papers. That is mere
~ part of deliberately arranged
policy. 1t assumes that every
farmer was a Republican and that
every man who says he is going to
vote the free silver ticket is a gain.
whereas nearly all of these cases are
those Of men the Republicans had
no chance of winning anyhow.
a free silver senator was reported |
The other day as saying that the i'm
mense demand for literature on the |
silver question showed that the
"hole country was coming his way.
That is the sheerest nonsense. Re

question, and the more they study |

SOME people evidently imagine
that the term, free silver at the
ratio of Is to |. - means that where
they now have 81 they will have $40
if Bryan is elected. But they would
get terribly fooled. The fact is,
should Bryan be elected, where
these same men have 81 now, they
would have 30 cents should free
silver win, and perhaps nothing,

Summerton Post Office
Scandal.
Tenant Dismissed ..and Bad.
ger Appointed.

Washington, D. c., February H.
Representative McLaurin called at
the postofice department to Gay and
recommended the appointment of B.
M. Badger as postmaster at Summer
ton, in place Of J. E. Tenant, dis
missed. The Summerton case has
been pending before the postoAice
department since last September.
when Mr.. McLaurin induced the
Postmaster General to withhold the
dismissal of Mr.. Tenant, who was
charged with shortage in his &C.
counts. 1t was represented to Mr..
McLaurin that D. E. Keels. clerk to
Postmaster Tenant, was the guilty
party, and it was promised that the
bondsmen of the postmaster would
make good the shortage. The case
was held up several times at the in-
stance of Mr.. McLaurin, but recently
he was convinced that the conduct of
Mr.. Tenant could not be justified,
and the postal authorities insisted
that Postmaster Tenant should be
prosecuted. The investigation by
the postofice inspectors shows that
the shortage at the Summerton Office
will reach $500, and it may swell to
$1,000 upon closer investigation. 1t
is believed that peoulations iii the
Office have been going on since the
case was reported to the department,
and MIR. McLaurln upon this showing
declined to proceed further in Mr..
Tenants behalf. He is to be pros
ecuted to the full extent of the law.
Mr.. McLaurin named as his successo
Nh Badger. Mr. McLaurin says he
was misinformed as to the facts in
the case by some of the friends OF
Mr. Tenant, and in the future he
will decline to intercede for post
masters or other public officers who
violate their respective trusts. lie
will urge that they be dealt with ac-
cording to the merits of the case,
and if they are guilty of misconduct
in Office they must pay the penalty.
He says he was greatly embarrassed
in attempting to justify Mr.. Ten
nant's behavior, and he does not in
tend to be placed in similar attitude
again.

when it will be held in the court house.
When young Miller was seen at the
guard house yesterday afternoon he was
lying on the floor OF his cell, and at

his barred doors and talked to the re-
porter regarding the case in cool and
calm manner. He did not seem at all
frightened. When the policemen came
to his cell to take him to the scene Of
the killing aud to testify at the inquest,
which they intended to hold yesterday
afternoon, he walked steadily out and
did not seem to appreciate the serious
ness Of his crime in the least. Several
reporters accompanied him on his ride
through the Snow to the factory and be
chatted merrily. 1t was only when
the ride was ended and Sheriff Cathcart
came out of a nearby house to take the
lad in to speak before the jury that he
became frightened. He was finally as

OUR FLEET IN TURKEY.
Admiral Bunce May Yet Receive Or
Gers TO Go There.

The United Press cable dispatch from
Constautinople stating that tue Turkish
minister here had been Informed by the
United States government that no addl-
tiopaI warships had been ordered TO
Turkish waters was probably based on a
communication made to Mavroyenl Bey py
Secretary olney on Thursday last, when
the Turkish representative visited the
State Department. Mr. Olney last even
ing declined to say anything on the subject.
The announcement of the porte is prac-
.icaly of little interest, excepting in so
far as it officially confirms the under
standing in naval circles that no actual
orders had been issued to Rear Admiral
Bunce to send any of the vessels now
under his command at Hampton Roads.
But Notwithstanding this, it is urder-
stood to be true that the pro iect of serdiug
n portion at least of Admiral Bunce's
fleet to the LevaDt has been considered
by the President ard his advisors
That no formal action has been the re-
suit of this consideration does not neces-
sarily mean that the project has been
abandoned, for the fleet is still held in
home waters, although nearly month
has PASSED since the date set for Its de-
parturc for a practice cruise in the West
indies.
