Suppression OF THE
BALLOT.'
The Keynote of the Fight the
Republicans Will Make
Chairman Tolbert Is
sues an Address.

bert, Jr., chairman of the Repub
lican executive committee, has
just issued the following address:
To the Republican Voters of the
State
The continuation of the Repub-
lican party in the control of the
affairs of the nation is of vital i'm
portance to the American people
at this time, and they have to con-
gratulate themselves upon the fact
that at one of the most critical
moments in the history of the ma
tion wise, considerate, humane
and patriotic chief executive in
the person of President VIM. Nc
Kinley, presided over the affairs
of state and brought our country
honorably and safely through It's
trying period OF war.
The present State administers
tlon and the present representa-
tlves in congress from this State
owe their socalled election to the
suppression of the ballot by n
criminal notification of the con
stitution and laws of the United
States. This iniquity suppresses
the political voice of 100, 900 vo-
ters of the Republican party of
the State and bears the stamp of
double crime because of the
false color of legality given by
the State constitutional conven-
tion of 1895.
The vice, crime and immortality
of this legalized iufamy has been
connived at so long that at last
the Democrats of the State have
come to regard the right of the
ballet as belonging exclusively to
themselves, and the outgrowth
of such views is expressed openly
at times Of registration and on
election days in South Carolina.
Republicans of the State look
with impatience for the proper
correction of these evils by the
Republican party, which is now
IN control of the three branches
of the national government; for
it cannot be believed of o party,
pledged to the protection of the
rights and liberties of the citizen,
ttat it will not eventually see its
duty and exercise all It's power
and authority in making such
pledges effective.
A free and honest ballot is the
foundation stone of our Republi-
can form of government and when
the present congress comes to pass
upon the election cases of Repub-
lican contestants now pending we
believe that it will accentuate it's
disapprOval of the lawless meth.
DDS used to secure the return of
Democratic members from South
Carolina and thus compel fair
elections in this State.
1t is deemed wise and polite to
await the results of the reaction
which will eventually set in in
South Carolina and will retire
those who are prominent in the
commission of crimes against suf
frage, and until this condition is
brought about by the action of
congress, we deem it best to re-
f-ain from nominating a State
ticket, at least for the present
year, and your State executive
committee has so decided.
We gladly call your attention
to the fact that a reunion of all
Republican elements in this State
has been effected and those who
separately contended for the main
tenance of Republican principle q

A FLOATING HOSPITAL.
The Relief VIII Leave New York for Sam
tiaCo Next Week.

The Relief VIII Leave New York for San
tiaCo Next Week.
Washington, D. c., June 23.-The
army hospital ship Relief, which is
now in New York, is expected to leave
that place for Santiago de Cuba some
time next week, in charge of Major
George H. Torney. This vessel is to
proceed directly to Santiago, and upon
her arrival the surgeon in charge is to
report the fact to the commanding gen.
eral at that point The ship is to be
anchored in a safe harbor at such a
point as may be designated by the
commanding general and as near as
possible to the seat of active opera
tons. The sick and wounded men Of
the army and navy are to be received
on board to the full capacity of the
ship and cared for just as if they were
in general hospital. The surgeon is
to issue medical supplies, upon proper
ly approved acquisitions, to troops in
the field, and he is to do everything
| in his power to aid the medical Off
GERS with the troops in providing for
the comfort of the sick by the issue of
ice hospital stores, and such delica-
cles as may be at his disposal
Whenever, in the Judgment of the
surgeon in charge, or of the command
ing general or the chief surgeon of
the troops at whatever point the YES
sci may be located, it is desirable that
the ship should proceed to her home
port for the purpose of landing the
sick and wounded, Major Torney will,
it practicable, communicate that fact
to the departments at Washington by
telegraph, and orders will be sent him
designating the port for which the
ship should sail. Surgeon General
Sternberg will send Major Torney the
sum of $1,000 as a hospital fund, which
the latter is authorized to give to the
chief surgeon or surgeons in charge of
divisions, in amounts not exceeding
$500, for use in the purchase of neces-
sary articles for the sick in field hos

manner in which his army was distri-

the announcement: will march with

About a fortnight ago Garcia took an
effective>step to avert the possibility Of
further Spanish troops being massed at
Santiago with those already posted in
that town for it's defense A strong

mander at Holquin, where there is an
important Spanish garrison, to the
Spanish garrison at Santiago. This
band of men Immediately took up po-
sition near Holquin and have been sta
ton there since, evidently preventing
the slightest assistance being sent from
there to the relief of the beleagured
port of Santiago. At that time the
Spanish force between Santiago and
Guantanamo was probably about H.
coo regulars and 5000 militia.

The rear blast killed Corporal j. j..
Murray and severely but not seriously
wounded Private Jesse Fuller, both OF
the United States marine corps. The
powder is believed to be defective, as
ether hang fires have been had with 1t,
and if used at all in the future, 1t will
be with great caution. None OF the
naval militiamen who in large part
man the Yankee, were hurt.
REPRESENTATIVE PEARSON,
uncle of naval constructor Hobson, had
another long interview to-day with Sec
rotary Long respecting the reward OF
that hero. The Secretary is puzzled by
the conflicting interests in this case.
He intends to reward Hobson in ac-
cordance with the merits of his feat,
but would like to do this without in
Justice to other meritorious officers.
A study of the naval register shows that
if Hobson is advanced to the grade OF
lieutenant commander he will have
been given a greater reward than was
ever known in our naval history. Cush-
ing got Sc numbers and gained one
year and nine months time in his rec
ord. yet Hobson. 1t is calculated, will
be given if made naval commander.
344 numbers, and, will gain twenty
years in time He will become senior
officer of the navy in course OF about
fifteen years and owing to his youth
will retain that place no less than
twenty years. something absolutely
WITHOUT PRECEDENT
in the American navy. These facts
are being adduced by naval officers
who are DESTROYS of finding some other
means of rewarding our naval heroes,
which, while thoroughly satisfactory
to them and their friends, will work no
injustice to others. AS an instance of
how the present practice works, the
officers point to the fact that for his
splendid achievement at Manila.
Dewey gained only ten numbers, while
astounding as it may seem, instead OF
a reward for his excellent management
and seamanship in bringing the great
battleship Oregon successfully through
one of the most remarkable cruises on
record, Captain Clark actually lost
three numbers through the promotion
over his head of officers engaged in
the battle Of Manila
Captain Sigsbee is cited also as a
case in point, having suffered the loss
of several numbers, representing a
year or two of naval service, through
the Manila rewards.
