ANDERSON, s. G., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER a. 1900

Republicans. The latest accession to
democratic ranks is Judge and Ex-
Senator George Gray, Of Delaware,
who has come out fatty for Bryan.
Inc TACT that Judge Gray was q MEM
etncluded the Paris treaty lends addi-
tional significance to his attitude. It
has been rumored that Judge William
Il. Day, of Canton, who headed the
commission. is also against Mckinley,
put Keeps silence &c: personal reasons,
democrats say that Judge Gray cx-
pected when he signed the treaty that
!he Fillplnos would be made free
instead OF being subjected, as has since
war and conquest.

A Call to the Democracy.

CoLUMBIA, S. c., October 1e.-Every
effort possible ought to be ,nadc to
bring out full vote ut the approach
ing general election. Since the new
Constitution has been adopted there
have been two general elections and
the vote has been growing smaller and
| smaller. This is due to the indiffer-
ence to the election after the primary
selections and to the difficulties in get
ting registration certificates. These
troubles will make the vote in the
State small-very much smaller than it
ought to be.
There are special reasons why the
vote ut the approaching general cleo
tfon should be large.
WHY ALL SHOULD VOTE.
First. Two very important con-
stltutional amendments are to be voted
on at this election. There ought to be
large vote, 80 that it cannot hereafter
be said that the vote was not fair or
proper indication of the expression of
the people of the State. If only a few
thousand voters in the entire State
cast their ballots in these proposed
amendments it is likely to occasion
trouble, whereas decided vote will
clinch the matter, 80 that there will be
no talk hereafter.
Then there ought to be full vote to
show what the voting strength Of the
State really is under the registration
laws. The Republicans have nomi-
mated Congressional candidates in
every district in the State. About the
only purpose of these nominations is
to give advertisement to the candi-
dates. mako n contest, based CT the
election laws of the State, and perhaps
get the allowance made for those who
carry contests to Congress.
HOW 1T AFFECTS CoNGREssMEN.
Year after year the delegation is met
with the contention that the vote indi-
Gates that the restrictions as to suffrage
are too severe or that there is some
thing wrong. A careful inquiry would
show that there is nothing in such q
position, but that is not the way such
things are done. Then there is the
OoAASee@ho hhU pCAolbtCuV ttlA OI CuCIl0R
down the South Carolina delegation in
Congress, and in support Of this the
small vote in this State for Congress
men is quoted. The primary, of
course, shows very much larger vote
than has ever been cast in general cleo
tion, and Senator Tillman and Others
have called attention to the full vote
of the primary and why there is no
Iarger vote in the general election, but
the Republicans would be disarmed of
their argument entirely if the vote in
this. State were as large as it ought to
be, and then they could not with any
effect insist upon having the official
vote in the general election.
During the campaign Senator Till
man. wherever he had the time and
thought of it, insisted that the vote in
the approaching general election should
be large and that no one should neglect
to vote in the regular election as we'll
as in the primary.-Ners and Courier.
