A dispatch from Columbia, s. G,

A dispatch from Columbia, s. @,
states that the Edgefield Democratic
County Convention has endorsed
James III. Tillman for Congress and
"resolvedn that he was distin-
guished fellow-citizen.
The only thing We have ever
heard that Jim Tillman did to "dis-
tinguish" himself was to kill Mr..
n. G.. Gonzales, editor Of the Co
lumbia State, and any other ire
sponsible person could have COM
mitted the same deed. He is posi-
bly, not any worse than some others
who are representing the South, but
so long as such men are elected to
Congress and other prominent posi-
tiona, Just so long will the South
stay in the political background.
No wonder the Democrats will not
nominate a Southern man for the
Presidency.

SOME MEN ARE HONEST.

When a Republican or Populist
Joins the Democratic party, which
is a seldom occurrence, the Demo
cratic papers spend several days in
telling what good man he is, when
and,Where he was born, and if they
can secure the picture they publish
a cut of his old homestead and the
old apple tree under which he played
during his childhood days. But
when a prominent Democrat begins
to do his own thinking and as a re-
suit unites himself with the Re-
publican party, then the majority
of these same Democratic sheets Inn
pugn his motives and charge him
with joining the Republican party
just to get office, and that he never
was much of a Democrat anyway.
Just at present we have in mind
the case of Hon. Chss. F. Toms and
other prominent Democrats Of Hen
derson County who have recently
renowned democracy and joined the
Republican party. The News and
Observer and other red-shirt sheets
have charged that Mr.. Toms is just
after Office and have attempted to
sling mud at him. But these papers
are too late. If Mr.. Toms was not
a high-toned gentleman why didn't
the Democrats find it out when they
were electing him Solicitor and
State Senator? If Mr.. Toms was
after Office he would have staid in
the Democratic party where he was
already holding Office and where he
had never been refused any Office he
sought. Mr.. Observer, you may not
believe it, but some men have honest
convictions and are governed by
principle, which would be a very
good course for some of the yellow
journals in this State to pursue.

AT Guilford Court House on Nav
7th, 1886, "Uncle Joe" Cannon was
born. Last night a banquet was
given Speaker Cannon at the Airing
ton Hotel TO celebrate his SEVENTEEN
birthday. II was a notable affair.
The Speaker left or rather was car
ried from North Carolina when he
was four years old. II was loss to
the State that he did not remain,
but if he had, he would today be
the object of abuse by the Buffaloe
Calf who runs the machine Demo-

THE RATE FIGHT DEEPENs.
The Railroad rate fight Is each day
waging stronger. The President on
last Friday sent a special message to
Congress showing how the Railroads
have by rebates and determinations
built up the great Standard Oil trust,
and by breaking down and destroy
ing all other people in the oil busi-
ness. He shows that this rate bill is
necessary to stop such infamous and
criminal business.
The message has had great effect
and may overcome the efforts of the
powerful Railroad lobby here.
BLACKBURN HAS QUIETED DOWN.
Since Blackburn's boast that he
would 60 to see the Attorney Gem
eral of the United States and de-
mand the scalp Of District Attorney
Holton, and further, that he would
not 60 to the White House till the
President sent for him, he has
quieted down most noticeably. He
has not been to see the Attorney
General and he has not yet been in
vited to the White House. Some
one with little sense has evidently
gotten him to shut his mouth and
to stop doing and saying fool things.

only declaratory Of what the Hep
burn bill must mean, supposing it
to be constitutional, and no genuine

vital, and even without them the
Hepburn bill with the Allison

the direction Of solving the railway

vile, n. G.
Dear Sir Il have just read in the
Charlotte Observer the letter Of Hon.
! G. F. Toms TO Hon. r. 3. Glenn, in
which he states his reasons for quit
ting the Democratic party. l think
the reasons given by Mr.. Toms for
leaving the democratic party are
good ones and / believe that every
| man who has become convinced that
the principles Of the Republican
party are right should come out
openly and above board and say so.
| have been a Democrat all my
life and never voted anything else
but Democratic ticket, but am
convinced that when the Republican
party is in power the country is
more prosperous, and the people get
along better, receive better wages
for their work and better prices for
their farm and factory products than
when the Democratic party is in
power,
| / believe that the sound money
and protective principles of the Re-
publican party are better suited to
the needs Of the American people
than the principles advocated by the
Democratic party.
Also, the Democratic party in
North Carolina have made many
promises to the people within re-
cent years that they have utterly
failed to carry out, and see no in
dications now that the promises
made by the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party lately will be fulfilled.
Another thing that I have noticed
all along, the Republican party be-
lieves that the people should be al
lowed to vote for their county Off
GERS, and upon all questions that are
of Importance to the people. | be-
lieve that this is right. 1 believe
in the principle of local self govern
ment, and that the people should
have the right to say who they want
for officers and what they want with
regard to special tax levies and
other matters that affect the people
locally.
| And further, I am in favor of
letting well enough alone in the ma
ton, and am not in favor of taking
chances on making changes. I shall
hereafter vote the Republican ticket
and do what 1 can to maintain and
bring about that which l believe to
be best for all the people.
| Respectfully.
| J. W. BURGE.

The President sent a message to
Congress Friday in which he at
tackled the methods employed by
the Standard Oil trust to crush out
the small companies and make the
people pay the "freight." He called
attention to the fact that the oil trust
had made an enormous profit by Sc
cret rates made with the railroads,
and that many of these secret rates
were clearly unlawful. Mr.. Roose-
Welt made this an occasion for put.
ting in some good ticks in favor of
the railway-rate bill.

NO RESEMBLANCE OF FAIENEss.

NO REsEMBLASCE OF FAIRNESS.
a few years ago when the Demo
cratic party adopted the primary
system for selecting their candidates
they told the voters they had adop-
ted a plan which was absolutely fair
to all concerned and that there could
be no cheating or foul play in the
Iegalized primary. Bat now listen
10 the Greensboro Daily Record,
heretofore a staunch democratic pa
per. The Record says:
ga still worse feature is that not
half of them are conducted with any
fairness; in some precincts in
Greensboro the hat is passed around
and a man so disposed can vote
three or four times there is alb
soluteIy no system that resembles
fairness. And still we hear much
about the failure of the voter to at
tend the primary; he may not be
fond Of a burlesque, and seeing how
unjust is the way of doing he simply
grows disguised and remains away.
"Some counties have legalized
primary; we are not welded even to
this but what the party in Guilford
should do without delay is to fOrmu-
late some system that is just, equita-
BILE and fair and something that is
authoritative. We hear much talk
about the old convention plan, but
taken as a whole it was much tairer
than the plan we have been working
under for some time, for, as stated
above, there is no plan about it; it
is every fellow for himself and the
devil take the hindmost. This is
good advice and the party should
take q note of it and act before it is
too late. Party ties sit very lightly
just now, and when voter flies the
coop it is not so easy to get him
back"
If the Democrats cheat each other
in their primaries, what may the
opposition party expect from their
hands? It is no wonder many OF
the voters do not attend their pri-
maries when they know that the
machine candidate will be counted
in regardless of the number of legal
votes cast for him. No wonder the
voters who are doing their own
thinking are leaving the Democratic
machine and joining party that
gives each member a square deal.
