He Speaks for the Democracy of His
Commonwealth.

Cheers for Villas as he concluded were
intermingled with cries of Russell, !"
and the Ex-Governor of Massachusetts
was given a hearty welcome as he be-
gan to speak
The time had passed, he said, for de-
bate on the merits of this issue. He
was conscious, painfully conscious,
that the mind of this convention was
not and had not been open to convic-
ton. He knew that the policy which
juggled down rights and invaded the
sovereignty of States was to be rigid
ly enforced. But the country, If not
this convention, would listen to the
higher protest. (Cheers)
He spoke, and he had right to
speak, for the Democracy of his COM
monwealth. He had seen it in darkest
days following the principles of De-
mocracy with an abiding faith, and
they had lived to see the day when for
three successive years they had seen the
banners of Democracy triumphant in
Massachusetts over the cohorts of Re-
publican protection.

all very tiresome. What the voters

that there are suspicious among

Uncle George Tillman has been
made chairman of the Board OF
Visitors of Clemson College. We
do not know exactly what this
means. Uncle George has always
been opposed to this institution
pronouncing it from time to time a
"humbug of the first water" Now
that many, reformers as we'll as
others, have come to the humbug
conclusion as to Clemson. it seems
that it's greatest enemy becomes
it's friend. In its original concep-
ton and inception Clemson was a
grand and glorious possibility but
in its management and admins
tration it has proven dead sea
fruit and not even uncle George
can make it pan out to its first
promise. What Pope (not Samps)
said of governments is also true of
other things, "W'hat's best admin
istered is best"
