Keep the Record Straight.


The News and Courier, OF FRIDAY,
says:
In 1897 Commercial Democracy
was the issue in the special primary
contest for United States Senator
in this State. and Mr.. John L. Mt.
Laurin was elected over the . late
Senator Irby and Mr.. John Cay
Evans. Senator Tillman did not op.
pose MIR. McLaurin-on the contrary
it was generally understood that
Senator Tillman was not unfriendly
to Mr.. McLaurin s. ambitic1s."
The News and Courier is clean on
in the above statement. In the cam
paign Of 1897 McLaurin did no,
promulgate his Commercial Democ.
racy." but swung tightly to the coat.
tail Of Senator Tillman, and that
is what elected him that year. iii
his canvas in 1897 McLaurin did no,
mention Commercial Democracy,
and consequently Commercial De.
mocracy" was not the issue in that
year. Senator Tillman neither op-
posed or favored McLaurin in so fas
as we know. He let each candidate
'tote" his own skillet, and Nc
Laurin won because he swung the
tightest to the Senior Senator's coat
tails. McLaurin promulgated hi:
Commercial Democracy" about the
time his term in the Senate was
about to expire. and 1t was then tina;
Senator Tillman laid out the youns
gentleman at the Gafrney meeting
We notice this matter simply to keel

1t is to be regretted that Senator
Tillman's health will not permit him
to make few speeches In the cam
paign. He is one of the nation 8
most effective speakers and is very
popular. He would draw big crowds.
put we would not have him to jeopar-
disc his usefulness to the State BY
making speeches.

The Democratic National Com
mittee has taken poll of the bank
ers of the Middle West, and they
have by a large majority declared
in favor of the Democratic plan for
the guarantee of bank deposits in
preference to the Republican pla.,
cf postal banks. AS Mr.. j. p
O'MalIey, president of the Peoples
Saving Bank at Perry, Ia, says il
is question Of the postal savings
bank or the insurance of bank de
posits and which is preferable. We
are bound to have one or the other
and we agree with Mr.. O'Malley that
the insurance of bank dcrosits hy

The poll wss made without regar'l

preference Of Republicans as well

was as follows:
For guarantee of deposits -. 1,345
For postal savings banks. -. 551

The replies show that the major

plank for bank regulation has al
ready been approved by the Repub-
licans in their State conventions In
Kansas and South Dakota and is ia
vored by the rank and file of the par

that it is equally popular among the
men who manage and direct banks.

In speaking of the National Dem
ocratic campaign fund being col
lccted il this State, The News an,
Courier says
More than seven thousand
dollars has been contributed BY
South Carolina Democrats to the
Bryan and Kern campaign fund,
aud probably ninety per cent of
it has come out Of the pockets
OF people in cities. towns and
villages. The majority Of the
South Carolina Democrats live
in the rural districts, and thous-
andS of them are Well-to-do.
They would contribute if they
could be reached by canvassers,
hut it is their duty TO send in
their contributions whether they
be approached or not. The dry
goods. grocery, hardware, bank,
real estate and insurance clerks
should not be left TO carry the
heavier part Of the financial bur
den of the national campaign in
South Carolina.
