FROM talks that the editor Of The
over at Gaffney this week, we feel
warranted in stating that the concen-
sus Of newspaper opinion is that the
senatorial race is between Evans, Rhett
and Smith. Some are inclined to think
the chances are in favor of one and
some the others. All are agreed that
Mr.. Smith is strong by reason of the
reputation he has established as a cy-
clone orator, and that he is going to
get good vote. 1t is calculated that
Mr.. Evans still has many friends
throughout the state; but that if he is
not nominated on the first ballot his
chances are slim for being nominated
at all. Practically all who expressed
themselves, however, were of opinion
that he would be in the second primary
with somebody. Mr.. Rhett is conceded
to be unusually we'll equipped for the po-
sition OF senator, and it is conceded al
so that he is developing great strength
throughout the state. Friends of all
of the other candidates are fighting
him harder than they are fighting any
other candidate, and Notwithstanding
this he is still growing. But with it ALL
there has been very little excitement in
connection with the whole matted. Up
to this time, but few of the editors
have shown any inclination to tear
their shirts over the claims Of any of
the candidates,

London, June 80: COntrasted with
the recent orderly and impressive sur
frage demonstrations, todays demon
stration was a comparative failure
and calculated rather to injure than
to advance the cause it was intended
to serve. Nothing like the number Of
suffragists appeared on the scene and
the affair seemed to lack a definite
plan and organization. The real lead
erS in the attack on the house Of COM
mons, in fact remained behind at CaX-
ton hall, reServing themselves, as
they now explain, for another project
ed invasion of parliament on Thurs
day. The police, mounted and on foot,
were in strong force in the vicinity of
parliament and for two or three
hours that neighborhoOd was the
scene of riots and skirmisheS through
the efforts of the Suffragists to break
through the Gordon and reach the
lobby of the house of commons. Nu-
merous ruses and disguiSeS were en-
plOyed for this purpose, but none sue
ceeded and i'm the end twenty-nine of
the women were arrested. including
two bold spirits who drove in a cab to
Downing street and threw stones and
smashed the windows of the premier's
residence. Mrs. Asquith and her
daughter watched the scenes from the
balcony of a hotel, overlooking Parlia-
ment square.

STATE PRESS ASSOCIATION.

For the second time In the history
Of that organization, the annual meet
ing Of the South Carolina State Press
association is being held in Gaffney
this week The meeting commenced
last Tuesday, and continues through
today. There has been some business
transacted and some most excellent
addresses have been delivered, partic-
ularly those by Miss Mary T. Nance
Mr.. R. H. Edmonds, and Hon. A. l.
Lawshe, third assistant postmaster
general; but easily the most distin-
gushing feature Of the occasion has
been the tireless activity Of Editor
DeCamp, assisted by the leading cit
liens of Gaffney in exploiting the
splendid hospitality Of the hustline
and appreciative little city.
Upon their arrival on the various in
coming trains, the editors and pub
fishers, with accompanying relatives
and friends, were at once taken to
Limestone college, where they soon
found themselves at home. DR.. Lee
Davis Lodge, the able and scholarly
president of Limestone, had his hand
some and imposing house, (the college
building) in order, as If for great
marriage reception, and all were made
comfortable as fast as they arrived.
The living quarters Of the college,
as we'll as all other departments are In
La,
bright, fresh, clean and comfortable
The long and broad verandas are cool
and inviting, and the spacious grounds
shaded with stately wateroaks and
sycamores, bear testimony Of the grand
and aristocratic character Of the whole
place.
Bouis- Rogier l.. Bouis-representa-
tive of the American Type Founders
company, was there, of course. With
out Bouis any meeting would be more
or less of a failure. To him was del
egated the duty Of taking care of the
new arrivals as they came, assigning
them to most comfortable rooms in the
dormitories, and running a general in
telllgence bureau. 10 certain eALeHt
Bouis was under the direction of his
clever and agreeable superior, Mr..
Chas. s. Conner, one Of the directors
Of the company; but it is pretty gen.
orally conceded that the only Bouis re-
uuires but little direction, and the
genial Mr.. Conner would not think of
offering suggestions to him-not on
such an OCCASION
During Tuesday the members of the
association were entertained in various
ways. The fOrmality Of introduction
was dispensed with to a large extent.
The badges that Editor DeCamp PIN
ned on the visitors as they arrived, car
ried introduction and recognition ev-
efywhere. The badge was literally a
key to the city. There were among
the editors some who felt a little deli
cacy in accepting certain things such
as carriage, transportation, cigars, So
da water and other items Of more
value, without paying. But all soon
learned that there was but one way to
make Gaffney people take their money
and that was by hiding their badges.
They had been told beforehand that
everything was to be free and free it

- Washington, July /: From the
treasury standpoint the fiscal year just
closed has been a most unsatisfactory
one. Since about the middle Of Octo-
Der last, when the period Of money
stringency set in and the consequent
depression in business began to be
felt, there has been a constant falling
off In government revenues up to the
month just closed. For June a sur
plus is shown Of nearly $4,0OO,000.
This fact, however, is not significant
as June Is unfailingly a surplus
month. Nearly all appropriations be-
come available on the 1st Of July and
this year treasury officials are looking
forward to a deficit larger than usual.
The amount Of cash now in the treas
ury vaults and available to meet ex-
penditures is about $70,000,000. In ad-
dition to this there is on deposit with
national banks about $153,S44, 200. A
considerable portion Of this sum is
likely to be called into the treasury
within the next few days and Il is
thought the amount will not be less
than $50,000,000.

A TREMENDOUS row has been raised
as the result of the announced purpose
of Alton B. Parker and other political
leaders of New York to introduce in
the Democratic convention, resolutions
eulogistic of the late Grover Cleveland
1t is not to be understood that there
is anything improper in the intro
duction Of a suitable tribute to the
dead statesman, and it is not under
stood either that there would be any
serious objection to the passage Of a
proper resolution. But it is charged
that there is politics in this proposed
resolution and there seems to be good
ground for the charge. Although true
in every essential, the resolutions are
Objectionable in that their adoption
would have the effect Of committing
the convention to those we'll known
doctrines that were held by Mr.. Cleve-
land and to which Mr.. Bryan has new
er subscribed We can hardly believe
that the resolutions are without spe-
cial and particular design and we do
not think the people behind them show
up very nicely in trying to take advan-
tage Of such a situation for the fur
therance of ends, however proper
There is no doubt Of the fact that Mr..
Cleveland was a great man standing
for great things; but he fought fair.

GOVERNOR Ansel has been attending
a few campaign meetings during the
past week, and he paid BarnWel and
Bamberg the compliment Of appearing
at the meetings in these towns. Some
men have been endeavoring to make
it appear that he was losing votes by
his absence, but he is exactly right to
stay away when the duties Of his office
demand his attention. The people
elected him governor and they expect
him to attend to the duties Of the Of
flee. If something important was to
happen and his presence was needed
in Columbia while he was out seeking
reelection, there would be a great
howl raised by these same people. II
is all political buncombe. and does not
come from the friends of the governor
-Bamberg Herald.
That is all right. The governor
should not have to attend these meet
ings at the expense Of the business OF
the state. 1t is fact also that his enc
mics will condemn him If he does, and
condemn him If he don't. But under
the circumstances, it is best that the
governor should be there-best for the
people and best for himself.

Bryan S Platform, and His Insult to
the South.

ne bryan PLATFORM OF 1000 is the pest
evidence of the political depravity which
produced the Bryan platform in 1908.
In the platform of 1896, Mr.. Bryan
denounced the gold standard as the
enemy of the people, as the creator of
hard times, as the Anti-American policy
which British bankers had devised for
the purpose of bringing the financial
world into servitude to London.
Pledging himself, publicly and solemn
ly, to "unalterable opposition" to this un-
American, unconstitutional, and ruinous
gold recommendation, Mr.. Bryan has
abandoned his strong and righteous po-
sition on the money question with a
shame1essness almost unparalleled in po-
litics.
The Constitution of the United States
has not been changed since Mr.. Bryan
truthfully stated, in his platform of 1896,
that it established bi-metallism and gave
gold no advantage over silver The facts
of history have not changed since Mr..
Bryan truthfully said, in his platform of
1896, that "the first coinage law ever
passed by Congress made the silver dol
lar the monetary unit of this country"
Catering to the fnanciers, and seeking
70 disarm the hostility of the National
bankers, paying court favor to the rich
and the great, Mr. Bryan has become
deserter from the cause of the unprivi-
legged masses, into whose championship
he rushed in 1896 with boldness which
captured applause and fervor of lip
which seemed to flow from the heart.
Quoting without credit the words of
another, he sprung into fame on phrase,
and was followed with passionate zeal by
the millions who did not want to be cru
cited upon "a cross of gold
In 1908, Mr. Bryan is better informed
than ever of the wickedness of the mon
ometallism which has locked fast the pros
perity of an industrial people in the pa
ralysis of hard times" The panic of
1907 is still with US; the terrific crash of
last fall still draws after it the dismal trail
of lamentable aftermath, but Bryan has
changed.
The constitution of Our country is still
the same tha If was when BRYAN thrilling

THE JEFFERSONIAN.

a crown or tnOrnS the money system
which he denounced is just the same in
fernal thing that it was in 1896; it's vic
Tins, the financially dead and the hnan-
cially wounded, still litter the fields over
which swept the desolating Panic of last
year,-but Bryan has changed. No longer
the enthusiastic tribune of the people, he
is trucker to power, a recreant from
pledge and promise, calculating, selfish
ly ambitious politician who would be-
tray any friend and apostatize from any
principle to win the prize.
In 1896, his platform declared against
National banks, stated the constitutional
truth the Congress alone has power to
coin and issue money, quoted the his
torical fact that Andrew Jackson had de-
MED the right of Congress to delegate this
power, and denounced "the issuance Of
notes intended to circulate as money by
National banks as in derogation of the
Constitution.
The historical facts about Andrew
Jackson have not changed the ante-bel-
lum record of the Democratic party as
the fierce, uncompromising foe of the Ma
tional banking system has not changed;
the truth, as stated by Jefferson, that
"the National banking system is of dead
ly hostilitv to Republican institutions"
has not changed.
1t is in Bryan that the change has
taken place. 1t is in Bryan that there
has been falling away. It is in Bryan
that we find the unclean spirit. Instead
of standing to his colors like man, put
ting devotion to Duty above every other
earthly consideration, thereby winning
place in the loving admiration of the
people more splendid than the highest Of
fee, he has taken the broad and we'll
trod path of political prostitution.
The Bryan who now offers props to the
National banking system; the Bryan who
now favors an asset currency; the Bryan
who now sanctions an emergency cur
rency; the Bryan who now wants the
government to lend money to the Nation
al banks; the Bryan who now utters no
word against the system which was alb
horred and loathed by Jefferson, and
Jackson, and Benton, IS NOT A DEMO-
GRAFT AT ALL. He has no right
to pollute the word by associating it
with the shameful financial propositions
contained in this Denver platform.
Wrong-headed as Alexander Hamilton
was, in his theory that the government
should be based upon favors to capital,
wrong as he was in his idea of a part
nership between the Government and the
banks, Hamilton himself would have
looked upon Bryan's bid for capitalistic
support with DISGUST. with. INDIGNATION

and prudent bankers punished for the
crimes of the dishonest and the impru-
dent, unchallenged exploitation by the
national banks of the sovereign junction
of supplying the country with currency
these are the things which the Bryan Of
1908, either favors or fears to combat.
Was Bryan Democrat in 1896? IF
SO, HE rs NOT A DEMOCRAT NOW.
Was the platform of 1896 the creed of
Democracy? If so, the platform of 1908
is not.
They can not be reconciled.
This hotchpotch of platform, thrown
together att-fully with the purpose of
propitiating Capital at the same time
that it makes an open bid for the vote Of
labor, is worthy of the candidate who, in
his eagerness to win the negroes, has in
suited the South.
President Roosevelt did the brave and
proper thing in the matter of those negro
troops who shot up the Southern town of
Brownsville. The whole South CLOVIS
with approval of Mr.. Roosevelt's courag-
eous action. 1t ardently admires the un-
hinching manhood with which he has
stood his ground against Foraker and
the negro agitators.
Every Southern Senator, with one ex-
ception, voted his endorsement of the
Presidents course. Every Southern au-
dience which has been tested on the sub
ject, has leaped to it's feet to wildly cheer
Mr.. Roosevelt
And now, Mr.. Bryan, who never had
the manhood to open his lips about
Brownsville at the time when the whole
country rang with it, sees an opportunity
to play politics with it, and he grovels in
the dust to do it.
He tells the negro delegation that he
condemns the Presidents course He
makes his bid, and gets what he sought
the promise of the negro vote in the
doubtful states of the North and West.
But, for once, the cunning of Mr.
Bryan has led him too far When he told
the negro delegation that he condemned
President Roosevelt's dismissal of these
riotous and murderous brutes who had
disgraced the uniforms they wore,
