TIE TINES AND DEMOCRAT,
Orangehurg. S. G..
THE political ring over in Augusta
is about to be killed again. 1t seems
to have as many lives as the hardest
old Tom cat.
Gov. johnson, of Minnesota, is to
be the chief speaker at tn: Jefferson
dinner of the National Democratic
Club of New York to be held on
April 13. As it is to be kind OF
Assistant Republican gathering
Bryan was not invited.
THos. Taggart, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee
declares that William J. Bryan
would be the choice of the Demo
cratic national convention for pres
ident, and that he will make great
race for the presidency.
sTo what extent is Joseph Pulit
zer, the owner of the World and the
man who fixes the policy Of that
newspaper, financially interested in
railroad corporations and other con-
Germs commonly known as trusts!
is one of the questions the New
York World refuses to answer.
IT is said that Tom Watson and
William Randolph Hearst will join
their political fortunes and that
Hearst will make Watson his pres
idential candidate. Watson will be
enthusiastically supported by John
Temple Graves in the Hearst papers,
and that will be the end of it.
The News and Courier says new
papers which denounce Eastern
Democrats as assistant Republicans
forget that the votes of assistant
Republicans count" The trouble
is they count on the wrong side.
At least they did when we could
have easily elected a Democratic
president on two occasions.
The Washington correspondent of
the Brooklyn Eagle, a so-called Dem
ocratic paper that has already an
nounced it's attention to bolt the
party if Bryan is nominated, says
that the Johnson boom is growing
rapidly. The support of Assistant
Republican papers like the Eagle
will prove fatal to Johnson's chances
if he had any.
The Washington correspondent OF
the GreenvilIe Sun says Senator Till
man is the greatest drawing card OF
the upper house. When it becomes
known that he is to address the Sen
ate for hours before noon, when
the body convenes, the corridors OF
the Capitol become crowded aud the
rush for the galleries is worse than
bargain counter sale.
"THE Light" Republicans paper
published in Columbia, fires into
Capers and intlmates that men hold
ing federal Offices in the state pooled
their money at the direction of Ca
pers, and formed a fund for the
purpose of carrying the coming Re-
publican state convention for Taft
and if necessary buying up a few
loose negro votes to achieve this END.
EDITOR W. E. Gonzalez, OF the
State, is being mentioned as a dele
gate at large to the National Demo-
cratic Convention from South Caro-
lima. He would certainly represent
the Democrats of the State faith
fully, as he is in full accord with
them as to who should be nominated
for president, and we would like to
see him sent as one of our delegates
at large.
TINE the textile workers of Phlla-
delphia were demanding work of the
authorities of that city to keep, at
least, half of them from actual star
walton. When it is remembered that
these textile manufacturers of car
pets, flannels, and other woolen
goods, are protected by a tariff of
from so to 1S0 per cent, their starv-
ing workmen must be convinced that
protection does not protect the Ia
