methods, has been representative OF the
Democracy Of South Carolina and has
expressed what was in the hearts of our
people and what is in the conviction and
conscience of this newspaper. We are
sorry that an enemy OF ours has thus dis
armed US, but it is true that he has, and,
since the issue is raised, we must admit
the fact. We would give good deal to
have B. R. Tillman take the record Of
John L. McLaurin. We would enjoy
pitohforking him as he has pitchforked
others. But we are denied this pleasure
We cannot abandon our own opinions
because Tillman represents them. Till
man in the senate has represented, on the
whole. our convictions, and we must adj
nit the fact. We have, piled up against
him, many records of the past; but as Il
representative of South Carolina, what
ever his motives, he has been faithful to
his trust. b.
There is not much else to say. Sena-
tor Tillman, in consonance with an Old
habit of his, accused the newspapers of 4
conspiracy of silence" regarding his
course in congress. The State has print
ed everything concerning him which has
been sent out by the Associated Press, L
concern which has been more favorable
to him than otherwise. 1t has not chosen
to keep Washington correspondent to
puff him or his colleagues; it is not and
will not be the organ of any man. 1t has
not chosen to comment on every vote OF
his nor every expression of hist does
not regard that as necessary or desirable
But it is engaged in no conspiracy of 81
lence" against him, and it can on occa-
sion do him justice.
Editor Gonzales has been an unrelent-
ing fighter since 1890, and the one man
in South Carolina whom he preferred to
defeat above all others was B. R. Tillman.
Perfect harmony characterized the con-
vention, and now one may thoroughly
believe that the day of political tolerance
has dawned in South Carolina We must
confess to surprise at such remarks from
the State, but the surprise is an agreeable
