NEW WING OF DEMOCRACY To be Organized In South Carolina. Text of the Calh Meetings were held all over the state of South Carolina Tuesday for the organ ization of another wing of the democratic party in the state. The address calling for the organization of the Industrial and Wage Workers' Democratic League, says: We declare our principles to be embodied in the simple but sound democratic doctrine ol equal rights to all, special privileges to none," and our purpose to repeal and to oppose all legislation inconsistent therewith. We ac knowledge agriculture to be the master wheel .-f industrial mechanism, but declare that is the enactment and education of just and whole aome laws it is essential to good order that th quality and quantity of the product depend upon the harmonious working of the whole ma chine, and VhfV upon no industry more than agricultiml will fall the injurious effects of a departure from this just principle. We believe the interest of capital and labor to be the same and we assert that a blow aimed at one will fall upon both, and that legislation directed "Against" either will reflect upon the people ol the whole state. . We condemn the vicious class of legislation attempted and enacted by the legislature at iti recent session and endorsed and approved bj the governor Of this state, the pernicious effects of which will be put to hazard all industries dependent upon corporative capital, to leases the volume of currency, to increase the cost ot credit and to render uncertain and precarioui the occupation of all wage-worker witbin th sUte. We denounce the inconsistency of the so-called ' reform" party which proclaiming salaries too large, omits to reduce them. De e.tnnR taxe too high increases them; profea s ng opposition to monopoly conspires to maki the state, a monopoly; preaching prohibitiox legislates the state itself injo a ruas-eeller. The new organiz tion is aimed direct ly at the reform or Tillmanite wing ol the party. It was brought into existence by the passage of laws at the last sessios of the general assemb'y in obedience tc the governor's recommendations calcu lated to oppress the railroads, banks, factories and ia fact, all industries. Th membership of the league, it ia said, ii already very large and it proposes t play an important part in the next elec tion. A state convention has been call el for the 19th instant.

ReacM The Richmond Terminal reople Ask for Jlr. Comer's Dismissal. ' A great surprise wm sprung on the United States court at Savannah Toes aay afternoon, when, without any warn ing whatever, Henry Crawford, of New York, attorney for the UichruondTena inal, addressed the court and stated that he had just filed two motions . One asked that , Receiver Comer of the Cen tral system be discharged and all con tracts under the receivership be annulled on the grond of illegality. The other moved that the order of Judge Spcer in regard to the reorganisation committee authorizing loans to the Central be set aside on the ground that said orders were imprudent, irregular and erroneous and that the court had no jurisdiction whatever in the cause to enter such orders snd that the same are entirely void. These motions were filed under ths Itowena Clarke bill, which placed tha Central in the hands of a receiver. The case of the Central Trust company tv the Central railroad Jiad been called before Judge Pardee and everything was - - VtMMMflstNM AsImIm . - m A 9 X O O nf MVsrt uw fcVU were read and fell like a thunder clap oa the lawyers assembled. Judge II. B.
