The News and Courier, in writing
about the State convention, appears
gratifed at the dismal failure" of the
zone effort" that "was made to dis
turb the general harmony of the pro,
ceedings by an appeal to factional
feeling" 1t was indeed gratifying to
all of US that any effort "to appeal tc
factional feeling" was put down, not,
however, by those who feared the
Charleston Conservatives ARE weak
ening," and those WHO wanted ''tc
see Charleston send solid anti-Till-
man delegation" but it was promptly
put down by those who are sincere
in wanting to keep the Democratic
party united. Had the News and
Courier administered a rebuke to the
politicians of that city who had no
better sense than to send delega-
ton to Columbia halnperei with
uncalled for utterances, it would have
performed a duty it owed the Dem
ocracy of South Carolina; but in
stead, by its silence, endorsed the
wild and bigoted sentiment expressed
in Charleston's convention to ''send q
solid anti-Tillman delegation" to the
State convention. its expression OF
qualification at the dismal failure" Of
any attempt to inject factionalism
comes with poor grace ard inconsist-
ency. Why did not the News and
Courier condemn the action CT the
Charleston convention? Not having
done so, it should now take the posi-
ton of the little boy the calf ran over.

WAR.

The past week has been one Of tant-
alizing reports, one day reported
naval battle had taken place and the
next day it is denied and SO it goes.
The Spanish fleet appears to be keep
ing our men guessing. Today our SIDE
claims to have Cervera bottled up IN
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba
with no possible chance OF getting
out-a repetition Of Manila is conf
dently expected, that is as far as the
newspapers are concerned. Every
thing is in such an uncertain condl-
ton that it gives the newspaper
dreamers fine opportunity to give
vent to their skill of manufacturing
battle stories which never take place.
We are Of the opinion that the Span
iards have eluded the vigilance OF
the Americans and will before long
strike severe blow in some unex-
pected quarter. Time has at last CIV
en- US story Of the battle at Garden
as, which we put considerable faith
in. It will be remembered when that
battle took place, our side claimed to
have killed several hundred OF the
enemy, with a loss of only FIVE Amer
leans, it turns out now that only nine
Spaniards were killed, including two
woman and three children. The
dispatches indicate this morning that
the President will make second
call for volunteers which if true, does
not look as five are carrying all be-
fore Us.

ELLERBE'S FRIENDS IN THE MA.
JORITY.

The political opponents are hard
pressed for capital when they endeav-
or to make political capital out Of the
incident of the committee on plat
form and resolutions side-tracking
the resolution endorsing the admin
istration. 1t is the custom OF all
political parties to endorse the admin
istration in power when the admins
tration is made up of their party,
and when it vas suggested that q
Democratic convention give co.npli-
mentary expression of the admins
tration in power, objection was raised
on the ground that such an express
sion would not be fair to candidates
seeking State Offices. The very men
who made these objections disclained
any intention of throwing opposition
in the way OF any member OF the
present administration, but only OBJ
jected so that all candidates could go
into our primary on equal terms.
The friends Of Governor Ellerbe were
largely in the majority in the con-
ventioD, and they could have, had
they been so disposed, carried the
resolution endorsing his administra-
ton, but they did not insist upon it,
in the committee and virtually agreed
not to present the resolution in the
convention because it was after all,
an empty compliment with no bind
ing force. We know it 10 be a fact
that some of Ellerbe's warmest sup
porters were among those who saw
no use to give the opponents of the
Governor an opportunity to cry
"snsp-judgmeDt" and they expressed
q willingness to not have the endors-
ing resolution presented at all.

sounded a warning to his colleagues,
and took the ground that the pres

proper action two years ago. He IS

carry on the war, but he wants the
owners of bonds and stocks, the money
lenders and that class to bear the ex-

created sensation and the newspa-
pers throughout the Union are max
ing extracts from it.

Gov. Ellerbe has appointed Maj.
James NJ. Eason Auditor for Char
lesion county. This is most excellent
appointment; it is g recognition OF
business qualification to conduct a
business office. Mr.. Eason has host
of friends over the State who are pleas
ed at his merits being recognized.
Mr.. Eason was for a number of years
the head of the we'll known firm Shep-
herd Supply Company and it is plain
" seen that by the selection OF such a
man the Governor was not seeking
political advantage, but the best in
terests of the taxpayers of Charleston
county.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
BY constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining Of the EuStachian tube.
When this tube gets inHamed you have a
rumJling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness IS the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken ont and this tube restored to It's nor
nal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an lntiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars forany
case Of deafness Caused by casarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

CONVENTION.


ton assembled has spoken and its
voice was clearly in favor of the Dis
pensary law, the convention was one
of the misrepresentation bodies that
has assembled in Columbia in many
year; throughout the entire pro-
ceedings there was marked absence
of any factioual spirit, and with only
one trivial exception not the slightest
reference was made to factions In
the convention We're many who, IN
days before the existence of factions
were familiar faces in such bodies;
everything went on harmoniously, ID
fact, there was every sign OF a reunlt-
ed Democracy. The convention ad-
opted platform Of principles as is
the custom of all political parties,
and one of the planks in that plat
form is a declaration in favor OF the
Dispensary system. This plank Was
fought with the prohibition strength
of the convention, aided by the pre-
sence ofcardidates on the prohibition
ticket and the chairman Of that par
| tvs Executive Committee, and not
withstand;ng this influence the Dis
pensary declaration was overwhelm-
ingly carried.
The question is now, what is the
status of the Prohibitionists. The
Democratic platform declares for the
Dispensary, can those who have been
nominated by the prohibition party
go into Democratic primary, antag-
onizing the platform of the Demo
cratic party? In our opinion no man
or set of men have right to partici-
pate in a party election unless they
subscribe to the tenets of that party.
The platform of the Democratic par
ty OF the nation declares for silver,
will anyone contend that a believer
in the gold-standard would have a
standing among the believers OF free
silver. The prohibitionists have put
forward ticket subject to the action
of the Democratic party, we take that
to mean, they are pledged to submit
to any action the party might take.
The party has now taken action and
if tie ProbibitioDists are true Dem
ocrats they will abandon their pre-
sent purpose of going into the pri-
mary with a platform. in antagonism
to the Democratic platform. The
coming primary IS under the aus
pices Of the Democracy as now or
ganized and no one has a rigL %
ccme into its council who refuse to
submit to the will Of the majority and
by the action of the convention the
prohibition platform together with
it's already nominated candidates are
wiped out of political existance as
long as the party's declaration re-
mains as at present.
Then s.gain, we do not see how the
nominees of that party can go into
our primary at all, if they have any
regard for their pledges, because they
are by the constitution, required to
make oath that they are not the can
didates of any faction either privately
or publicly expressed. They are
candidates OF a public convention and
they were publicly nominated upon
party platform. The Democratic
party clearly forbids this, and it was
done to put stop to these snap
Judgment conventions and to fac
tionism. The prohibition candidate,
nominated by that convention cannot
as conscientious man, and q man
fit to be trusted, take the pledge re-
quired by the Democratic party.

CONSISTENCY.

Col. D. Il. Tompkins, nominated by
the Prohibition convention for Secre-
tary of State, has been Withdrawn
from the ticket by order of the Pro-
hibitiou Executive Committee, be-
cause he has expressed himself in
favor of the dispensary system, and
opposed to prohibition because he
thinks it utterly impracticable at this
time. We do not understand the
taking off from the ticket the name OF
Tompkins, when Zimmerman and
Epton are in the same boat. Tim
norman has also expressed himself
in favor Of the dispensary system and
we think Epton has too. Why was
Tompkins nominated, in the first
place? Was it because he was chair
man of the Democratic party, and by
being at the head of the machinery
the neutrality-suspicious. looked for
good results? Was Tompkins taken
off the ticket because he was not re-
elected State chairman? Was it
because the neutrality-suspicious.
thought that Tompkins could be of
no service to them after losing his
grip on the lever Of the psrty's ma
chinery? Let Us look at the action
of the Prohibition Executive Com
mittee and see if we are right in our
conclusions that the candidates on
the Prohibition ticket are knocked
out of the Democratic primary. The
Prohibition party, through their ex-
ecutors, have withdrawn from their
ticket one of the nominees because
he declined to endorse their platform,
which is declaration for Prohibi-
tion. They have not only withdrawn
this regularly nominated candidate,
but they have formally notified him
of the fact that inasmuch as he does
not endorse the platform OF the Pro
'ibition party, that party will not give
him their votes, and they proceeded
to FIJI the place upon their ticket with
another name. This was the proper
course for the Prohibition party to
pursue, it was their only consistent
course, and by taking this proper
course they have given the Demo
cratic committee a cue for action.
The Democratic Executive Commit
tee must be consistent also and for
,nally notify the Prohibition party
that unless they endorse the platform
as enanciated by the Democracy OF
South Carolina, they cannot be per-
mitted to participate in the prima-
ries to be held under the auspices OF
the Democratic Executive Commit
tee. The action of the Democratic
party has placed the Prohibitionists
into a distinct and separate party
and tie Prohibitionists have no more
right in the participation of the Dem
ocratic primaries than would the Re
publican party have. This is 50 clear
that the Prohibitionists have recog-
nized it, and they have cleared their
ship for action by taking off those
who favor tie Democratic platform.
This is consistency, and they will
force the Democracy to be just as
consistent.

An Interesting Letter.
(From our regular Correspondent J

Washington, D. c., May 21.-The
war drags. There is but little pros
pect now that our fleet will engage
the Spanish fleet for sometime; and
the invasion of Cuba, as we'll as the
expedition to the Philippines, is lag
gard. At this rate, the war will last
forever: and that prospect can please
only those who want to suck Uncle
Sans blood :'in eztremis." But
there are some people who are so
unpatriotic that they desire such a
state OF things. They hail with de-
light this hesitating, dilly-dally-delay-
policy of the Administration; for the
more delay there is, the longer the
war will last; and the longer the war
lasts, the more it will cost Uncle Sam;
and the more it cost Uncle Sam, the
more money they will make out it's
prosecution-but such malevoIence
and greed are crimes against the best
government on earth. War is too
expensive to be prolonged unneces-
sarily:: and the present contest is
costing Uncle Sam about 100000
a day. If it is prolonged one year,
it will cost him S379,l92,600, as fol-
lows.
