/Bryanites Drunk with Power.


{ In this State much is being written on the
Subject OF reorganizing the Republican party,
and self.respecting Democrats are invited by
egotistical Bryanites to join that party.
In the North, with view TO strengthening
the Democratic party in the United States,
there is talk OF reorganizing the Democratic
party on better basis with broader plat.
form and more correct principles.
Bryanites In this State seem to be drunk
with power and oblivious to the fact that
their rule has alienated a large minority from
their support.
These same new men seem to forget that all
power rests with the people, or is derived
from them. The mutterings OF disconten
should therefore put them on notice Of an
Impending storm:
Presumptious Bryanites who tell lifelong
Democrats to 60 to the Republicans may yet
learn lesson.
II the feelings and sentiments Of the in
telligent and business portion Of the people
are to be forever disregarded a revolution as
thorough and as complete as that Of 1892 may
come again.
This Is pre-eminently day Of small men
When little dictator like Bryan, can order q
! Nominating Convention to make platform
I TO suit him, regardless as to whether 1t suits
the people, the time is getting ripe for g
change.

RecaIcitrant Democrats. \

The Bryanites are lecturing Democnas
who cannot swallow their heresies y
These Democratic brethren are now told by
Bryanites that their sympathy and association
arenot needed, and that they should depart
and be with the Republicans.
when We are confronted with the fact that
the, ,Bryanites even with the aid OF Democrats,
cannot have q reasonable hope of eleoting a
President, the little corporals Of the party.
who would assume command. are doing a.
very foolish thing in alternating their natural
allies. 1t requires numbers to win political
Victory.
AS numbers are necessary to success, how
do the Bryanites expect to gain power by
\ alternating the Democrats? There is only
one place from which to draw, the Republican
party, and now do they expect to draw from
the ranks Of the enemy, while encouraging
spirit Of discomfort in their own raDks?
There is never an effect without "a cause.
Would 1t not be better for the Bryianites to
enauire into the causes which hav@ alienat-
led many Democrats. Having conf ftrol OF the
party machinery is not the factlop IN power

Sensible men. or men who are competent to

McLauren's Chances.

MCL0ufen y Sh6nCcSs
The Columbia Record remarks upon the
probable fight that will be made on the
junior Senator when be comes before the
people in 1902.
This newspaper believes that McLaurln did
right in voting for the ratification Of the Paris
Z treaty Of peace, and we think public sentl-
ment will ratify McLaurins act.
The Bryanites having run rough shot over
those Democrats who did not believe as they
did, have done much 10 create disa1fection in
the minds Of many citizens, and
spirit OF discomfort is abroad in the land.
Public policy, or public sentiment, has
periodically undergone changes since the
wal.
In 1866 the former rulers Of the State quietly
took possession Of the government.
In 1885, the white people of the State sulked
and wouldn't go to the election.
In 1876 they were united to man. All
went TO the polls, and did their full duty not
only in voting themselves, but in keeping
others away from the polls.
In 1888 the first symptoms of1iilmanism
appeared, and in 1890 the country was wild in
It's opposition to the man for whom they
would have died in 1876.
In 1892 Tillman and his party held un.
disputed sway In South Carolina. He was
master OF the situation. and thousands bowed
: down to him as their deliverer.
In 1900 the Tillman tide Is receding. He,
the Senior Senator, is less popular today than
at any time during the last ten years. He
has had his day, and his star is on the west
ern slope.
In 1902 the people will have come to their
senses, and they will endorse the act OF the
junior Senator in voting for the ratification
, of the Paris treaty of peace. He did right,
and the people will so declare.
: The people resented Hampton's interfer'
ence in our election IN 1892, and 1t need not te
surprising If they tell Tillman. in 1902. to sit
down-if he proposes to fight bis colleague.
. When we remember the changing scenes
for the last thirty years We need not be

..,hn,-,stnA4>we reflect upon the fact that the
public conscience is generally right under

The Iri r.. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

What ever may be said OF the scientific
causes upon which the Rev. Iri K. Hicks
pases his yearly forecasts of storm and
weather. 1t is a remarkable fact that specific
warnings OF every great storm, flood, cold
wave and drouth, have been plainly printed
in his now famous Almanac for many years
The latest startling proof Of this fact was the
destruction of Galveston, Texas, on the very
day named by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Alma
nae, as one Of disaster by storm along the
gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by far the
finest, most complete and beautiful yet pub
lished, ia now ready. This remarkable book
