Col. D. J. Knots don't seem
greatly changed since his political
departure. The "Tall Pine may

question no good mans honesty but
beg to suggest that the Colonel, if
his Southern taste are not sadly
changed, may yet have to swallow
some bitter pills on Jordan's political
road, always so hard to travel.

It seems that the policy Of the
goldbugs, in order to control the
national convention, is to have as
many contested delegations from
silver States as possible, and more g
from those in which the advocates Of
the single standard are in the majority.
By this means, it is hoped to have a
majority of uncontested delegates
favorable to gold and with this ma
Jority unseat as many Of the silver
delegates as will give gold control Of
the convention.
II this scheme is successfully
worked to defeat the free coinage Of
silver, it may as we'll be known in ad-
vance of the meeting of the conven-
ton as after, that the action of the
convention will have no binding force
upon the friends of silver and that
they will be relieved Of all moral obi
cations to support the nominees and
would be justified in repudiating its
action.

The gentle spirit Of our aged
father, D. l. Friddell. passed away
very quietly on the evening of April
10th. He had been in bad health
for sometime and his death was not
unexpected. His remains were in
tered in Shiloh cemetery Sunday,
April y, in the presence Of large
number Of sorrowing and sympa-
thizing relstives and friends who
mourn his departure. But the Lord
doeth all things well. It is not
thought that be had an enemy in the
world, He wss a gallant soldier and
served faithfully in the late war. He
was one of the oldest members of
Shiloh church, to the doctrines of
which he remained faithful until
death.
The dark wings of the angel Of
death oyershadowed the home of the
aged petriarcb, Mr.. H.Steel, and gath
cred his spirit to his fathers. For
eight Or ten years he Lad been con-
fined to his room. and the last few
years of his life he lost his eyesight.
He was kind and noble hearted
man. He served his day and gene
ration as becomes one who had con-
eecrated his life to the service of his
God. HIS iunera! services were
conducted ut his late residence by
the Rev. J. D. Shealy, assisted by
the Rev. S. z. Sbumpert, in the
presence OF alaSge conconrse of sor-
rowing relatives and friends who had
gathered to pay tie last sad rites to
their departed dead. The bereaved
family has the heart felt sympathy

As the opening Of the present po-
1itical campaign is now at hand it is
timely for US to state that the Dis
patch will under no circumstance
advocate the claims of one candidate
before the people in the county pri-
mary election oyer another. Com
munications of personal nature in
the interest of candidate, or against
the candidacy of another, if pub
Eshed at all, will be charged for at
double our regular advertising rates,
strictly cash in advance and no devi-
alton from this rule for anybody or
under any circumstance. As far as
we are concerned, every candidate
must stand or fall as he iGpresses the
people. Candidates cards are lin
tied to the simple announcement.

A RIFT IN THE CLOUDS.

The most hopeful sign that we
have vet seen of the two wings OF the
Dem ocratic party coming together,
was the presence of quite number
of antis in attendance upon the late
county convention. It shows, if it
shows anything. that many OF them
attended their club meeting and par
ticipated in the work of re organiza-
tion, and we take this as an unmls-
taxable harbinger Of reconciliation.
At no time since 1890 up to our
last convention has the Conservative
element shown any disposition to
affiliate with the Reformers in poll
tical measures and for them to assist
in the reorganization Of the county
Democracy is rift in the dark poll
tical skies which have hung over our
county and State SO long and the ap-
proach of the time when we will be
a reunited and happy family. 1t
was wrong to divide in the first place
and it is greater wrong to remain es-
tranged longer. Nothing can be
accomplished by staying out OF the
party but some good will result to
themselves, their party and their
State by coming together and work
ing in unison and harmony for their
common good and their common
interest.
We were indeed glad to see them
in the house of their fathers. They
had right to be there and in exer-
else of that right they broke away
those barriers which divided them
from their brother Democrats. Our
only regret is that more OF them did
not turn out and participate IN the
club meetings. We believe that be-
fore the coming campaign is ended
all factional lines will be obliterated
and there will not longer be Ants or
Reformers but all be found fighting
under the banners Of Democracy
and be known simply as Democrats.
Why should they not do so? They
have to live under the same govern
ment as the Reformers. It is as
much to their interest to have good
men in Office who will economically
administer the affairs cfgovernmentas
it is to the interest of any one. Then
I, let US come together. For this re-
suit We have been laboring for years,
and we confidently believe that our
labors will be crowned with success.

To the Editor of the Dispatch.
Please say to the readers Of the
Dispatch that the undersigned are in
no way responsible, for the proceed
ings of the County Democratic
Convention of May the 4th, 1896, as
they appeared in your columns, other
than the actual work of the conven-

Lexington, s. c., May 8, 1896.
I'm compliance with request OF
Messrs. Efrd and George, we take
pleasure in stating that they are not
either as individuals OF in their Of
fetal capacity responsible for any
thing that appears in these columns,
unless under or over their own sigma
ture, or nom-de-plume. There was
one sentence at least, in the report,
namely: "having no ak to grind, no
friend to reward nor enemy topunish,
etc.," which was conclusive evidence
to an intelligent public that they had
nothing to do with writing the re-
port. We will state further that
they are not responsible for the re-
port of even the actual work of that
convention as the report as published
was taken from notes made by a re-
porter Of this paper, and all that was
gotten from them were the names Of
the committee on resolutions, the
resolutions and the list OF delegates.
