Can This Rumor be True ?

The Manning Times, edited by Senator
Applet, has the following editorial in its
last issue concerning a rumor that Scma-
tor Tillman is taking II hand in the
Gubernatorial contests:
There is q rumor floating about the
State that Senator Tillman is the main
influence which inspires Hon. Frank b.
Gary'S candidacy for Gubcrnatorial hon
ors. Whether there is any foundation
for the rumor we do not know, and hope
1t is not true. We do know that Senator
Tillman is very friendly to the Gary
family and he has manifested that friend
ship in many ways. IIo made tho mis-
take Of his political life when he under
took to save John Gary Evans from de-
feat. That was not his Judgment, but he
permitted his namo to be affixed to the
circular, entirely from spirit of friend.
illness to the Gary family. We doubt ex-
cccdingly if there is Il member of that
family who would have been heard from
at all, rs far as high political honors are
concerned, had il not been for 'rillman.
lie is their political father, and through
him nearly the entire connections, near
and remote, have been, and arc now fill
ing prominent positions, both of honor
and cmolumcnts. We think it high time
and very proper, after such Il long and
careful training that Senator rillman turn
his protcgcs loose, and let thcm take
their chances without his aid. If Col.
Gary, n most excellent gentleman, wants
to be Governor ho should come forth and
present his claims to the people. lie
should not wait to be carried about i'm
the arms of his political father, for that
father is under obligations to many men
throughout the State, some of whom may
be aspirants for GubcrnatOrial honors.
Senator Tillman will be candidate him
self and we hope he will not have oppo-
sltion, but opposition or no opposition,
he will be reelected to succeed himself
to the United States Senate, and this
being so, we think he ought not to take a
hand in tho Gubernatorial race, and that
he should permit all OF the aspirants to
paddle their own canoes.

After all | do not know that we
need to be worried much about tho
matter. Any man who can make
such aspeech as the people want to
hear and give them instruction or
amuse them, will always be able to
obtain an audience and if they do
not want man to talk any longer
they will let him know it. Then by
reversing the order of speaking and
alternating days every nun will have
fair chance. If the crowd have
come to hear any special man they
will make it known, and the others
will voluntarily hurry through and
get out of the way.
Whatever is done we should cling
to the freedom of discussion and
joint debate, and the primary system
rs the very essence of Democracy.
Rather than give these up it would
be better to confine the speeches to
candidates for Governor alone. The
other State House officers do not
outline policies, but are largely ad-
ministrative officers, while the Gov
ernor not only influences legislation,
but by the use of the appointing
power and veto controls public af-
fairs, if he should be a man of anv
force and ability. 1t may be worth
while to try the plan of having no
meetings under the auspices Of the
State committee, but turn all the
candidates loose and let them arrange
their own meetings, or attend such
as the county committees arrange and
the people who get up picnics in
vltc them to, but until the news
papers change their policy of recent
years, and also be more Industrious
in furnishing the voter with read
able and fair and reliable reports of
what is being said and done by the
candidates, the system of Joint dis
cussion in one form or another will
be demanded by the people and no
candidate can safely neglect it. One
Of Jcfferson's maxims was "teach the
people and trust the people," and
under the existing conditions in our
State there is no certain way to have
this done except through the medium
OF public debate.
Yours sincerely,
B. r. TlLLMAN.
This letter will no doubt have it's
effect upon the State Convention.
There are already great many men
in public life who are heartily in
favor of the idea of abandoning the
county to county campaign ideas
and who would like to be allowed to
arrange for their own campaign
meetings or who will be satisfied
with what invitations they receive.

Newspaper Borrowing.

Here is the latest story Of the man who
is too stingy to take his home paper: "a
man who was too economical to tako his
home paper. sent his little boy to borrow
the copy taken by his neighbor. In his
haste the boy ran over q 81 stand of bees.
and in ten minutes looked like n warty
summer squash. Ills cries reached his
father, who ran TO his assistance, and
failing to notice barbcd wire fence,
ran into that, breaking it down, cutting
handful of flesh from his anatomy, and
running 81 pair of pants. The old COW
took advantage Of the gap in tho fence,
and got into the cornficld, and killed hcr-
self eating green corn. Hearing tho
racket, the wife ran out, upset 4-gallon
churn full of rich cream into a basket of
kittens, drowning the whole flock. In
the hurry she dropped 4 81 set of false
teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled
through the spilled milk and into tho
parlor, running a brand new $50 carpet
During the excitement the oldest daugh-
ter ran away with the hired man; tho
dog broke up eleven setting hens, and
the calves got ont and chcwed the tails
of four fine shirts"

A conference committee, consisting OF
Phil. Mourant, NJ. M. Wakefield, 9. N.
Wilson, J. f. Fitzgerald and DR.. Jos.
Kent, was appointed to confer with the
peoples party convention, and pending
their report, Il recess was taken until
80 O'Clock. They met a like committee
from the peoples party, consisting of o.
H. Fry, Luke Craig, F. L. Morgan, A. B.
Holloway and J. r. Wolf. The populist
committee had been instructed by its
convention to demand that separate con-
ventions be maintained, and that the
peoples party name the candidates as
follows: One representative, auditor,
sheriff, attorney and one commissioner.
The democratic committee returned to
the convention with this report, and
asked for instructions. After discussion
the committee was instructed to invite
the peoples party into a joint conven-
ton, and to assure that party of fair and
honorable treatment in the allotment of
the offices.
About 5 o'clock the peoples party con-
vention came down to the rink, from the
courthouse, and were greeted with cheers
by the democrats. John A. Gilkey,
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1900-09-27

chairman of the populist convention,
made brief speech, in the course OF
which he said his convention polled 10
votes, while the democratic convention
had 95 votes. The populists were will.
ing to meet in joint convention II each OF
their votes were to be counted as one
and one-half votes, SO as to equallze the
voting strength OF both parties. There
were no differences expressed about the
division of offices ON either side, and the
democrats appeared to favor the PROPOSE.
ton of Mr.. Gilkey, until it was learned
that proxies had been admitted lndls-
criminately to the populist convention.
This information changed the minds of
the democrats. The only warm discus.
sion of the day in their convention had
been over these kind OF proxies, and
their Elma experience had taught them
something Of the facility OF their manu-
facture, and warned them that they
could be made do duty in one convention
as we'll as another, in fact, some OF the
proxies that had been before the COM
mittee on credentials had been type
written so as to answer for either party,
the names OF both parties appearing, one
of them to be scratched out. doubt
was also raised as to the legality of the
nominations should they be made by
votes not legally in the convention. The
Joint convention would sit as demo-
cratic convention, and that body had al.
ready fixed the status OF its votes. For
these reasons Il motion to agree to the
populist proposition was defeated by a
vote of GS,s to 24i.. Thereupon about
one-half of the populists left the hall, al
though many Of them returned later.
A motion was then made and carried
to proceed to nominate ticket composed
of populists and democrats, and the pop
ulists present were invited to participate.
They declined to vote, but said ''go
ahead, nominate Il ticket and we will
help elect it. we are not afraid that our
party will not receive fair play
Before proceeding to the nominations

resolution was introduced by c. O.
Butler that permitted few OF the mi
nority to delay the proceedings for hall
an hour in an attempt to shut out Il few
candidates who failed to receive the APP

the resolution:

not the man.
"3rd. Therefore. no one having held
election or otherwise, shall be eligible to

While the resolution was aimed at
some of the present officials, it will be
seen by the wording it would have pre-
cluded anyone who ever occupied an
official position of any kind, and it was
laid on the table by a vote Of So to 80.

trust about which you probably know
great deal more than does the writer. In
1898 the American Newspaper Publishers
Association, in the "Brief in Favor of
Free Paper and Free Pulp" presented at
Quebec to the joint commission to re-
adjust duties between the United States
and Canada, said: "Ihe present tariff
rate on printing-paper sized, unsized, or
glued, suitable for books and newspapers,
valued at not above two cents per pound,
is three-tenths of cent per pound, or
IS per ton. The tariff rate on mechanic
ally ground wood pulp is one-twelfth of
a cent per pound, or $1.67 per tom"
This combination, protected from COM
petition by the tariff, exacts from the
publishers of our great dailies about one
fifth more for the paper sold them than
it could be purchased for if the duties
were removed, as you well know.
REPUBLICAN PARTY RESPONSIBLE.
You have rightly attributed to this

ping and ridiculed our antiquated regis
try laws, but to our establishment during
the last year you have been strangely
silent upon the iniquities of protective
tariffs, and now you seem to have reached
the point where you say that "any one
desiring to tell the truth would say that
the responsibility for trusts does not
attach to any party"
Mr.. H. o. Havemeyer ex-senator
Washburn, and many other intelligent
republicans frankly concede that the pro-
tective tariff is the mother of trusts"
You, Mr.. Editor, say that trusts are
an "outgrowth of modern conditions of

readers what modern conditions of trade
have created trusts of the nature of these
described? You owe such an explana-
ton to your readers.
