Greenville Mountaincer
Hon NJ |, Donaldson, of this city. is
the member from South Carolina of
the National Democratic executive
committee, and as he is the connects
ing link between the State and Nation.
al Democracy, we have sought to OBJ
tain hiS views with reference to the
issue raised by Senator TflIman in
| proposing To bolt the convention at
| Chicago III the event that free silver
was not endorsed in platform and can
dictates. Mr. Donaldson declined to
| speak "a member of the national com.
mittce, since he was noj authorized TO
speak in its behalf, and the committee
is not charged with the exclusion of
delegates from the convention itself,
but he was very willing to express an
| opinion in his individual capacity
and hence We asked him this question,
"What are your views with reference
to Chairman Irby's position, as stated
in his call for meeting of the state
! Democratic executive committee ?"
! To which Mr. Donaldson replied sub
stantially n follows:
| Il think Chairman Irby's expos;-
ton of the principles of Dem ncracy
entirely correct. It is cardinal prin
cjple Of the Democracy Of this state
that the majority shall rule. That
! principle has been peculiarly emphasiZ.
ed for the last few vca,s in our State
! politics. 1t would, therefore, be exs
tremeiy inconsistent AID absurd for
delegation to he sent to the National
Democratic Convention prepared to

teve that = large majority of the peo-
! pie in South Carolina are for free silver
but important as we helieye It to be
ihat such y plank should be in our ma.

believe that a convention of South Ca

president the man whose name the re- publican tariff bill of 1890 bears. The party is pledged in it's platform and by it's record to give the country pro- tective tariff pure and simple.
 In a recent issue the New York Herald under the caption two tariff sessions" has the following:
 MT. Dingley, of Maine, is supposed to be as near to MT. Mckinley as anybody. He has paid two visits to Canton, and knows, if anybody knows, what the president-elect thinks about the tariff and about the threatened extra session, And now MT. Dingley tells the repubh- can members of the ways and means committee of the house of representa- tives that he considers an extra session inevitable. The conference then agreed that 8 new tariff bill should be drawn up, though not, it would seem, to be reported to the house during the pres ent session. It is not supposed that any such bill can be passed by this con- gross.
 Now, an extra session has been urged upon the ground that tariff crisis ought to be short, sharp and decisive. But here is a scheme for preparing bill dur ing the present session and debating it during the next. A hearing is to be ar ranged before the ways and means com- mittee Immediately after the holidays, and all winter long, as well as all next spring and summer, there is to be tar if turmoil and tumult.
 It is for the business men of this coun- try to say whether they will sanction mischieveus scheme or acquiesce in 1t. If they do not protest, organize and make themselves effectively heard they know very well that business so far as it is affected by the tariff, will be at stand still"
 In the above the Herald appears to oppose both an extra session and any further tariff legislation. It appears to have lost sight of the fact that the re- publican party has promised to restore prosperity by opening the mills instead of the hints, and that it proposes to open the mills by re-enacting the Mckinley law, the law that did a good deal in helping to close the mills. There is to be tariff turmoil and tumult" all win ter, next spring and summer says the Herald. The Herald appeals to the busi- ness men of the country to put stop to the thing, losing sight of the fact that the business men of the country let the opportunity to put a stop to republican legislation pass unembraced when they helped to defeat the democratic nomi- nees last November.
 The Herald may be correct in it's po- sition that there should be no tinkering with the tariff, but the republican par ty has assumed to remedy existing evils by tinkering with the tariff and a ma jority of the voters have authorized it to proceed, the Herald being one of them

---------r . - MACEO MURDERED.

The news from Cuba scarcely leaves room to doubt that General Antonio Ma eco is dead That he was most foully murdered is also evident. If the fact that the first news of the deatn of General Maceo came by way of Spain be taken in connection with the fact that his own following in the island of Cuba knew not of his death. and the further fact that with the coming of the news by way of Spain no explanation as to how the Gu ban leader met his death came it will not be hard to believe the news which informs us that General Maceo was in vited to meet Spanish officers in a friendly conference and at the place named for the meeting to take place he found ly- ing in wait a body of Spanish soldiers with orders to murder in cold blood the brave leader and his entire staff, with the exception of the Judas Iscariot," his special physician, who had betrayed the patriotic leader into the hands of his enemies.
 The death of Maceo must necessarily prove severe blow to the cause of the Cuban insurgents but when the fact becomes known, as it must, that the spanish authorities in control in Cuba actually conspired to and did take the life of General Maceo in the manner told in the latest and most reliable dis patches, there will sweep over the coun- try such a wave of indignation and re- sentiment that to Cuba's rescue will find its way more strength and power to aid in the contest for liberty and home rule than was taken from it by the murder of the gallant Maceo. When the highest officers in an army conspire to commit murder as in the case of the Spanish officers, with reference to Maceo. has not that day beyond which MT. Cleveland suggested in his message this country could not afford to permit the war in Cuba to continue, arrived?
