The Democratic primary election re-
Gently held in South Carolina was to de-
terrnlne whom the Legislature should
elect 10 the United States Senate to sue
coed Mr.. Irby. Judge Earle won over
Governor Evans, who was the Tillmanite
candidate. Doubtless. Evans would have
been successful but for the exposure OF
his method Of carrying on the dispensary
business of the State. AS most of our
readers know, the State of South Caro-
lima holds for itself the monopoly Of the
LIQUOR business in that state, and II has
been shown that Governor Evans, TO say
the least has been very careless in the
management of IL. The result of all
this has been a great scandal In South
Carolina, and the Indignation Of the peo-
pie has been visited upon Governor
Evans. As to the effect Of the primary,
the Charleston News and Courier (Which
has never been friendly to Tillman) says:
1t means that there will be new
alignment in this State; that fractional
bitterness is coming to an end; that the
people are getting together. What the
effect OF the election will be upon Sena-
tor Tillman and his political future de-
ponds upon two considerations: First,
how the conservative newspapers and
public men conduct themselves; and. Sc
cond. how Senator Tillman conducts
himself Speaking for ourselves. and
those whose sentiments we represent, we
wish to say that what is best for the
State. the whole State, and all the peo-
pie and interests Of the State, is good
enough for us and for Charleston. We
have preached reconciliation and unity
fraternity. equality. liberty-and we re-
cognize and accept the new conditions
in perfect good faith. As 10 Senator TIL
man. he will be wise II he, too, shall re-
cognize the new condition that confronts
him-he Is no longer the peoples mas
ter. but must hereafter hold himself as
nothing more than a hired servant. The
day Of the dictator is ended; the reign
Of the boss is over.

Is the Times Democratic.

Crewe, Va, September 9, 1896.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Does the Richmond Times think that It
can satisfy those whom it pleases to call
"doubters." when, instead OF answering
a direct question it publishes the Con-
gressional Record In the contested cleo
ton between Mckinney and Thorp? The
Times is at liberty 10 make all the capital
il can out OF that contest. 1t admits
that all Of the testimony was on one side.
The people Of this grand old State are
perfectly familiar with the peculiar cir
cumstances Of that contest. The Times
can continue 10 publish the fact that Con-
gresham Jones voted 10 seat Thorp. We
people of Southside Virginia expected the
Times to support Thorp and IT has not
disappointed US. Will the Richmond
Times also cell the people of Virginia
how often the Richmond Times has been
quoted in the contested election cases
from Virginia I'm the Congressional Re-
cord? VIII the Richmond Times reprint
one single sentence which IL has ever
published commendatory Of the Demo
cratic party OF Virginia In the last four
years? Let the Times do so. Mr.. Editor,
I'm big print so we cannot overlook II.
And when the Richmond Times reprints
those worys OF praise. let the Times also
reprint the quotation from it OF to-day.
and explain 20 the "ballot-boX suffers
of the black belt Just what It wished
and meant for the people OF Southampton
county to do when II gave that advice.
II the negroes and their mean white
allies" were in the majority in Southamp-
ton. will the Times tell US how the mi
nority Of honest representative white men
could so exert themselves as TO take
from the negro majority those rights
which belong to all men?
In its crusade against the Democrats OF
the Fourth Congressional District, let the
perfectly fair. honest Times" tell us
what we should have done rather than
the horrible things OF which II accuses
us. Does the Times mean to say that II
IS worse to take from a man that which
ne has than 10 deprive him of that 10
which he r. entitled? The Times seems 10
be splitting hairs. Mr.. Editor and we
ballot -box-stufFng Democrats" OF the
black belt" who will substitute an en-
trely fictitious" ballot for the vote OF the
people Of the Valley. and who base our
confidence that Bryan IS going 10 De
elected solely upon the belief that the
ballot-boxes will be stuffed" will be
very much pleased 10 have lesson In po-
litical morals from the Times. Let the
Times advise what to do in future. All
of US have our guns" ready. VIII the
Times publish the court record OF the
only contested election case which we
have ever had In Holloway county? Inc
Times is great paper. and is ably
edited. but Mr. Editor, II the Richmond
Times Is a Democratic paper. why J, LOT
one. will never he a Democrat. ! Will
never abuse. without cause. the white
people Of one OF the greatest sections OF
this grand old Commonwealth; l VIII
never bellttle and vlify my party. and.
above all else. will never aid in the
election Of william Mckinley. the MONT
nee Of the Republican party. III mat
means being a Democrat Mr.. Editor
why, please excuse me.
"NOTTOWAY."

the number at Norfolk. Petersburg. Dan
Vile. Lynchburg. Roanoke. staunton,
Charlottesville. Alexandria. or at any
other Virginia city. While the Breckin-
ridge wing OF our party made great to
do about tho 200 names that they Sc
cured here. IL must be remembered that
these 100 included citizens Of Richmond
and Henrico which together cast about
1900 Democratic votes In 1892 We under
stand that II is now claimed that the 200
has increased 10 loco. and this may be
truo for aught we know 10 the contrary,
but we should like TO see searching
ANALYSIS made OF the list. We know that
some Of the signcrs have heretofore been
Republicans In national politics. and we
are told that others OF them are not
qualified voters. Still others. we are as
sured. signed under a misapprehension'
and many others through fear that not
to do so would lose them the favor OF
their employers.
So our friends in the country may
put Richmond and Henrico down just as
solid" for Democracy as any other
community i'm the State similarly
situated. with some few exceptions the
boilers here are men who are under the
influence OF big corporations. but we are
satisfied that many of them will yet come
back TO their old friends and fellow-De-
uocrats

DAVE HILLS POSITION.

II Senator Hill has made up his nina
what nc is going to do with respect
10 supporting the Chicago ticket he Is
not yet ready TO take the public into
his confidence. The general impression
is that he will accept the judgment OF
the state convention, soon TO be held
al Buffalo. but he is unwilling to be in
structed." He wants TO be footloose
and fancy-free.
The Democrats Of IIlmira elected Hill
a delegate Of theirs to the State conven-
ton. with instructions 10 vote for the
endorsement of Bryan and Sewall. but
this commission he has declined, for the
reason stated. We shall be surprised II
Rll does not fall into line with the mil
lions Of good Democrats, who are now
favoring the election of Bryan and Sc
wall. but we doubt not that he has been
subjected to strong temptations from the
other side. Most Of the corporations
and most Of the men Of money in his
state are on the side Of Mckinley.
Now that Dan Lamont has spoken in
favor Of the decoy ticket everybody
knows what Mr. Cleveland's position is.
BY the time Cleveland comes out in
letter in favor of the Palmer-Mckinley
combination. we should like to have as
an Offset to It one from Hill announcing
that he "abides by the "arbitrament
Of the National Democratic Convention.

OUR DISTRICT AND THEIR MONEY.

The Republican politicians In other dis
tricts Of the State are disposed to be-
Ilcye that the greater part Of the 10000
promised 20 the anti-Bryanites in Viz
GINA will be spent in the Richmond Dis
trlct
We shouldn't wonder n this should be
she case. The Republicans Of this dis
frict are very hungry. They haven't had
"A pulp at a campaign fund for a very
long time. But, though one third or
one fourth OF the 100000 should be spent
in the Richmond District, II will not pro-
duce Republican congressman. The
last time a Republican represented us

and we are not willing % have another
OF that sort there for some years TO come.

FRANKFORT. KY. September T.
General Palmer. the National Democratic
nominee for President, was military
Governor Of Kentucky in 1s65. Jus; before
the August election of that year he issued
an order, which. If it could have been
enforced, would have practically disfran-
ohiscd nearly every Democrat or southern
sympathizsr in the State. Divested OF

out belonging TO the regular rebel mill
tary organizations, have taken up arms

unfairly furnished amy rebel with food
or clothing, horse or arms or money,
or have harbored, concealed, or otherwise

"A. All persons who were or have been
directly or inGIrectly engaged in the
civil service OF the late so-called Pro-
yfsional Government OF Kentucky. or who

Of or contractors with or for either of
said pretended governments are dis
qualified from voting.
'"An persons Of the classes aforesaid

on several Of the important railroads
leading into this city excursions trains
viii be run on the occasion Of Mr.. Bryan's
Speaking here. We are going to have
an immense crowd in Richmond that
night. and the resources OF the Traction
Company will be taxed 10 the utmost
10 carry the people TO and from the Au-
ditorum. The company. which Is dis
tinguished for us enterprising spirit, has
however. pledged the public that it will
be equal TO the emergency, and we have
fun faith in its purpose and ability to
do whatever II promises.
To get the people to the Auditorium
will be an easy matter. but 10 take
them away after the speaking is over
viii be difficult. because. after Bryan
makes his speech, the crowd will break.
and there will be a general rush TO the
street-cars. However, the Traction Com
pany will provide itself with many extra
cars. and Will. no doubt. meet the re-
sponsibilities OF the occasion so as to
satisfy all reasonable folk.
with the excursionists coming here
from Virginia towns and cities will be
scores OF newspaper men. for whom we
hope seats will be reserved by the Com
mittee on Arrangements.

TILE CORRUPTION Fund.

our friends. the Breckenridge Demo
Gratis, are mighty honest about the
mighty dollar but they are not so honest
in political matters.
Ii doesn't disturb their cOnsciences at
all that they should raise Democratic
banner to lure Democratic votes to the
Republicans, or that they should be help
mates of a man who has raised and will
expend the biggest corruption fund ever
known or heard of in the history Of Amer
lean politics.
Hear how they are shouting, "Honest
Elections~ while Hanna is gathering in
the money OF the millionaires to buy up
committees. leaders, election officers. etc.
Honest" indeed; there will be no hon
esty wherever Hanna's agents can reach
a. bribable man, who is in a position 10
hand over Democratic votes TO the Re
publican candidates.

more OF midas products or manu-

1t would buy more, just double
