Tlllman's Candor.

Whatevor may be said against Senator
Tillman. wo cannot help admiring his
political courage and his blunt frank
ness in dealing with political issues
Tillman calls pitchfork a pitchfork and
spares not. Ho is quoted as having said
in recent speech at South Carolina
picnic that the disponsary was not in
tended to be moral, but simply to give
the people plenty of good liquor and to
give tho profits of tho liquor business to
the State instead Of to tho bar keepers.
This is tho literal truth. Tho State of
South Carolina is ingaged in tho liquor
business for tho profit that there is in it..
Or perhaps wo would be nearer tho truth
if we should say that tho Tillran party
inaugrated tho dispensary system for
tho good that thoy could got out of it.
Now that Tillman has told tho truth lot
us hear no moro about tho dispensary
systom rs o movement in tho interest of
temperance. 1t is movement in the
interest of politics, and while it has boon
of profit to tho politicians and possibly
of profit to tho State government, it has
beon disgrace to tho people of South
Carolina and a source of no ond of strife
and scandal.-Richmond Times.

KENTUCKY.
20 Times.H Herald.

Chicago Times Herald.
In Kentucky the people registered tbs
most significant protest against boss
ism and gang methods ever recorded ir
the annals OF state politics. All otheI
issues were subordinate TO the clsar-cut
and well-defined issue Of "Goebelism.
The efforts Of Mr. Bryan to divert pop
ular attention from the high-handed
frauds that were prepetrated by the
Goebel machine sn the Louisville con-
vention were without avail. His rear
platform spellbinding tour could not
dissuade the Kentucky Democrats from
their determination TO avenge the out
RACES that were committed to secure
the nomination OF Goebel.
The regular democratic nominee stood
for ouayism of the most offensive type
ir state politics. He was not the choice
OF the Kentucky democracy. His polit-
ical career was tatooed with corruption.
His nomination was accomplished by
unseadng regularly accredited dele-
gates and substituting for them his
hired scullions.
The democracy Of the ''old school
bolted the ticket. The republicans un-
der the leadership Of Taylor were unit
ed and harmonious. Goebelism was re-
buked and the Kentucky democracy
was redeemed from bOssism.
