During his recont visit to Charleston
Ex-Mayor. IA Ctuytenay expressed
his views upon the presont political
situation in this State very plainly and
with 80 much point that the public
ought to know what they arc. In 70
ply to statement Of representative
Of Tho News and Courier that he
wanted to talk to him about "oommer-
cialiam and ''pap spoon politics." Mr..
lOourtonay said:
I As you know. / have beon entirely
withdrawn from public mattors for
many years and havo no desire now to
l!eay or do anything about them. After
so long a sienoo [ doubt il thoro arc
many who care to know what I think.
But recent occurrences in our party,
tho preservation of which regard aB
iessoutial to our civilization, should in
'dueo everyone, not blind to the future,
to consider certain extraordinary hap
penipgs and to speak out plainly. a
In my view the most deceptive
scheme over put before our people ia
that which would abandon our political
principles and our old alios in cyory
State in tho Union for the transiont
ploa that Joining the Republican party
will promote our material interests.
h We have marvellous country -iroa
and coal in superabundapoo, grain folds

world, cotton crops for clothing our.
|,selves and many millions Of distant peo-
|Sples, cattle in untold quantities, with
|san intelligent, progressive and hard !.
l.wotking people, developing all theso
|sooosaal natural advantages Tho ad \.

Elton, in wealth accumulation the past
decade is tho wonder Of the world.

Those figures are an object lesson at
| the end of q decade in which tho gov
ernment OF, tho country was shared by
both political parties, and demonstrates
beyond q doubt that the growth of bust
ness and woalth is from natural and in
dustrial causes and not from pap-spoon
In tho midat 81 this|abundanco, this
sweep Of prosperity, comes proposal
to break up the Democratic party and
hand over our political power to our
political enemioa, who havo not spared
us in tho past and have not oven re.
mote idea of sparing us in the futuro.
