To tlb Democratic Voters of South
Carolina:
The polideel enemy is lisrd at work
In the middle and lower counties of
South Carolina, where (ho Republicans
always expect to obtain their largest
rote. There is not much display.
Their public meetings are few and
animportaut, but the rallicrs of the
party arc passing from house to house,
notifying the colored people to rote
early on election day and telling them,
in the usual Republican style, that they
will imperil their freedom if the v fail
to Vote for Blaine. In some parts of
the State secret gatherings of the col
ored people take place every night and
the speakers fiercely exhort their hear
ers to beready to fight for their rights.
The Democratic organization is not
as thorongh as it should be, and the
Democratic voters, it is feared, arc
not folly alive to the necessity of exert
ing themselves to the utmost to bring
out the fail Democratic vote. With
the Republicans there is little or no
need of organization, for the leaders
rely on appeals to the ignorance and
antipathies of their supporters. It is
prudent, therefore, to assume that the
solid party strength of the political
enemy will be arrayed against us.
The danger which confronts us is due
to Democratic apathy far more than
to Republican activity. The way to
meet it, and the only way, is by inccs-
aant political work from this time until
the closing of the polls on election day.
South Carolina may well prove to be
the pivotal State in the present gigan
tic contest. If the Democrats carry
the whole of the Southern States, to
gether with New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, or if they lose New
Jersey and Comiecticul and carry in
tbeir stead the State of Indiana,
Grover Cleveland will he the next
President of the United States; but if
South Carolina be lost to the Democ
racy in this emergency the Democrats
must carry New Jersey or Connecti
cut in addition to Indians, or must
find iu the Northwest or among the
Pacific States nine electoral votes to
take the place of those given to Blaine
by reason of indiflerenco or over-con-
fidenoe in South Carolina. It is host
that the Democracy of the State sltould
know the whole troth. South Caro
lina’s electoral votes will be given to
Cleveland and Hendricks if every
Democratic vote, white and colored,
be dnly polled and counted on election
day. Any Inkewarmness, any care
lessness in any county In Sonth Caro
lina, pats the State in jeopardy. There
is no security, no certainty of victory,
but in diligent, untiring aud system
atic canvassing during the few days
that are left.
The County Chairmen, as the imme
diate representatives of the Democrat-
Ic party, are directly responsible for
the result of the election in their res
pective counties. Full instructions
hare already been given to them, and
it cannot be supposed that they are
anmindfni of the imperative need of
arousing every Democratic voter to a
sense of hit political duty. The County
Chairmen are now urged and instruct
ed to communicate immediately with
the Presidents of the Democratic Clubs
and the heads of subordinate or auxil-
iary organisations, in order that not a
Democratic vote shall bo lost by inat
tention or want of care. It is not too
lain even now to visit every Demo
cratic voter in every county and insure
hi* attendance at the polls.
The people, when the nature of the
eontest is explained to thorn, will not
be fbnnd wanting. They who have
already dared and won so much for
the Democratic party will not falter iu
this supreme hour of trial for the State
and the republic.
Betides the Canvassing Committee
appointed by (lie County Chairman,
there is room for volunteers. Intelli
gent citizens everywhere can render
valuable service by calling on their
neighbors and showing them the im
portance of voting at the approaching
election. Even' Democrat who con-
stitytes himself a committee ofonc can
reach a dozen voters or more. And,
"again, in this way only five voters in
each election precinct will make a dif
ference of about three thousand votes
in tlic State.
There it inuen to accomplish, and
the time is short. It will bo the fault
of the Democrats who realize the mo
mentous character of the present polit
ical struggle if their friends and ac
quaintances are not by personal appeal
made as ardent and earnest as them
selves.
Tiie united efforts of even a handful
of sagacious and zealous Democrats in
every county will give cohesion and
onergy to the Democratic host. All
along the line there will be unity and
strength, with a determination to com-
the sueooes which the State
Indianapolis, Ind., October 25.
The situation in Indiana at thepreaent
res
writing, shows that the parties are
pretty evenly matched, and each is
confident of ultimate success. The poll
of the State by either party has not
nil
been revealed, so tbit much uncertain
ty exists, and few are willing to ren-
tiire an opinion, backed by money.
The Republicans having carried the
State in 1880, express confidence of
doing so now, and have made the can
vass on the tariff issue. There arc no
marked defections from that party,
those withdrawing being mainly con
fined to Indianapolis, and almost with
out exception, free-traders. The Re
publican partv counts considerable
gain from former Grcenbackcrs, thousrh
this accession iu time may be ofiaet by
those who will vote the Prohibition
ticket, nearly all of whom have been
RepuMicans.,
The Democrats, while not openly
avowing hostility to the tariff, have
shown a tendency to thrust that issue
in the background, and rely mainly on
the popular demand fur reform in the
public service, and upon the personal
popularity of ex-Scnator Hendricks
who lias ever been a power in Indiana
politics. The parties have thoroughly
8 tat
canvassed the State and feeling is very
high, rallies being well attcqqed, and
enthusiasm pronounced.
Blaine’s tour through the State has
undoubtedly won him friends and his
reception has been cordial; Hie real
effect, however, has not yet Ween de
termined. lie takes his leave of In
diana to-morrow, passing into Illinois.
Not many days will elapse until a
better view of the field of Indiana poli
tics mav be had. At this time even
the wisest is wary anti few, are willing

to risk decided opinions
A DEMOCRATIC RALLY AND nAUHECCE.
A Democratic rally and barbecue
were held at Peru on Thursday. The
crowd was the largest ever assembled
in the town, numbering about 25,000
persons. There was a large industrial
parade by the townships and a fine
ul
array of uniformed clubs and bands.
Sixteen beeves and a dozen sheep fail
ed to satisfy the hunger of the crowd.
The arrival of Hendricks was greeted
with great enthusiasm, and his address
was greeted with rounds of applause.
Speeches were also by ex-iSenator Mc
Donald, Durbin Ward, Judge Thomas
and others. In the cvcninjg there was
a large torchlight procession and dis
play of fireworks.
Blaine’s lying.
Terre Haute, Ind., October 23.—
Mr. Blaine left Evansville at 8.30 this
morning, having before him a long
Lafay
day’s ride to Lafayette. At Terre
Haute he made a short speech, in
which he draw a distinction between
the New and tlie Old South; the new
seeking industrial development and
laboring to lead the people away from
the prejudices of the past; the old,
prejudiced, bitter and hostile to North
ern interests, devoted to the “Lost
Cause,” narrow of vision and incapa
ble ot Caking in the sweep and magni
tude of our great future. This Old
South, constituting, ho said, the main
element of strength in the Democratic
party, was now striving and hoping,
with the aid of Indiana and New York,
to get control of the Nations! Govern
ment, and it was for the people of
those States to say whether they are
prepared to hand over the Government
to that
clement.
THE CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA.
Th« Democrat* not Thoroughly Alive to the
Serloutneia of tne Situation.
Indianapolis, October24.--Tliepeo
ple of Indiana arc now awaiting the
approach ofthe soap men who did such
a large business hero four years ago.
Dorsey will not be among them in
reality, but that he will be here in
spirit cannot be denied.
Among the methods to te used this
year the Pension Convention lias tak-
cd the place of gatherings of what
Logan would term the “old veterans,”
by which party snirit lias been aroused
iu former Presidential canvasses. A
National Convention of pensioners lias
been called ftrr the latter part of tins
week and Mr. Dudley, the commis
sioner of pensions, will no doubt see
to it Hint it is composed of Republicans
or doubtful Democrats who want to
get their hands into the national treas
ury a little deeper. That it. bodes no
good to the taxpayer cannot be ques
tioned.
The Democratic managers teel confi
dent of their ability to carry the Slate,
but for that matter they were confident
four years ago. They have always
labored under the difficulty of under
estimating their opponent’s. At the
same time they have been able to per
fect an organization which could stand
the severe strain it is subjected to in a
national campaign when men, money,
officeholders and desperate managers
assume control of the Republican ma
chine. The difficulty is.not so great
this year us in fowncr days, when the
election was held in October, but it is
still serious enough to make this one
ofthe danger spots in the Democratic
canvass.
The Ohio Plan to he Repeated.
Washington, October 24.—The dep
uty marshals did such excellent service
in Ohio that the Republican managers
have decided to mass them in Indiana
at the November election. They claim
that while New York aud New Jersey
may both go Republican they can win
without cither if thev carrv Indiana,
assuming that Connecticut will fall into
tine of its own volition. They do not
consider the chance of losing
Northern State excepting New York,
New Jersey and Indiana, and of these
three they prefer to concentrate all
available forces of money, men and of
ficials in the last. Col! Dudley, not
withstanding Deputy Commissioner
Clark’s refusal to sign the expense ac
counts of pension officials on duty in
OhiOj and notwithstanding his conduct
is being looked into by the interior de
partment, is preparing to go to his own
State, and there engage iif a manipula
tion of election day forces witli even a
more Ultimate knowledge ofthe ground
than he had in Ohio. If. is predicted
that the excitement of election day in
Indiana will more than cpual that in
Ohio last Tuesday. Authority will be
given for the appointment of any num
ber of deputy marshals requested.

New York; October *2.—General
Butler arrived is liisspccial car in Jer
sey City this morning. He was driven
over to the Fifth Avenue Hotel in this
city, where he remained during the
afternoon, At one o’clock this after
noon ho started for Boston. Ho will
return the latter part of this week and
resume hi* tour of the Stale. A com
mittee from the National Labor party
this morning called nt the Democratic
National headquarters and presented
to the National Committee the follow
ing resolutions adopted by them at
a meeting held in Clarendon Hall last
night:
“ Whereas, Benjamin F. Butler is
travelling through this State masquer
ading as a protectionist and friend of
the workingman, be it
Jlesolved. that we call the attention
of the workingmen and anti-monopo
list to the following facts that prove
him to be a monopolisiit and enemy of
labor.
1st. His whole career iu Congress
was that of a greedy, unscrupu lous
tool of monopoly, a salary grabber
and railroad bank and corporation ad
vocate.
2d. He only left the old parties and
accepted tiie nomination of the Green
back and antimonopoly parties when
be had outlived the hopes of reward
from the Democrats and Republicans,
and came into the labor movement at
the eleventh hour to reap the reward
of other men’s labor.
3d. He is no protectionist as be ran
for Governor of Massachusetts and
was elected as n revenue reformer on
a free trade platform. All his letters
and speeches in that campaign were in
that campaign were in favor of free
trade, and his manager, Col. Plymp-
ton, and his co-reformer, Grady, are
zealous,free -tradevs... . *
4th. When Governor of Massachu
setts lie signed a bill to employ con
victs at hat making in the face ofthe
earnest protest ot the hatters of that
State, and vetoed a bill to limit the
hours of labor ofcliildreu in mines and
factories.* lie employed pauper labor,
Italians cleaning the streets of Boston,
and on other public works of the State,
to the injury of tlic laboring classes,
and in other ways injured the working
men of Massachusetts when he had
political power, instead oi-rccommend
ing measures in their Interest, which
he now claims should be passed for
the benefit of the workingmen.
5th. Gen. Butler atlendcd the Dem
ocratic National Convention as a dele
gate and as a Democrat, and pledged
hi* delegation to support the candi
dates nominated there, and personally
stated that he would support Bayard
or Thurman (botli free traders) if
either was nominated. He bolted the
convention when he could not dictate
on the lying pretext that the Demo
cratic party refused to adopt planks in
tlic ‘platform, in the face of the fact
that the Committee on Resolutions
placed on Hie platform every plank
asked for by the true Labor party.
Resolved, That we denounce B. F.
Butler as a fraud and imposter, and
advise all workingmen to support tlic
candidates of the Democratic party.

THE I’KKSENT BLAINE PLAN.
Nrw York Vlrluitlly Given lip-To Fight for
ItMllHiia mihI New Jemey.
[Sjtfrin! to the PhiUidelphui Times.]
New York, October li).—The Blaine
plan for the remainder of tlic cam
paign has been fully developed here
during the past forty-eight hours.
Many leading Republicans have been
here in consultation. Among those
was Pension Commissioner Dudley,
who managed the late campaign for
Blaine in Ohio. New York is sub
stantially giiTc!i up ns about certain to
go for Cleveland. It is recognized
that it would be up-hill work to carry
this State. Little money will, there
fore, be spent here. The Republican*
will make a noisy and demonstrative
campaign in New York aiid the Blaine
caravan will go about, but this will be
done to divert the attention of the
Democratic managers. While all this
noise is being made keen Republican
managers will be DndlcyizingIndians,
New Jersey and Connecticut.
By these methods the Republicans
expect to get Indiana certain, and New
Jersey if desperate means will acconw
plish the result. This would elect
Blaine, provided be carried the hither
to Republican States, even though New
York go against him. The Democrats
arc basing some hope 6n Wisconsin,
but it is not a good reliance nnless
there should be a Cleveland cvclone.
Should Blaine get the nnfumUv Repub
lican Slates Cleveland will have to get
New York ami Indiana, or New York,
New Jersey ami ConnecticutTiTTmT
elected. He could not spare Indiana
and Connecticut nor Indiana and New
Jersey.
This is now the Democratic danger.
It may be discovered when it is too
late. Dudley goes at once to Indiana,
where United Stales Marshalls ami
Government officials will be employed
as in Ohio, to debauch the State. The
New Jersey campaign will be managed
from this city. Money will be poured
into both States while all over New
York a ceaseless racket will be main
tained. There is not much danger
that the Democrats will lose New York,
but they may lie caught napping else
where. ’
A MyMrrloua TragrUy.

Early this evening wfcile James L.
Clayton, aged eighteen, was visiting
his friend John S. Baker, aged seven
teen, at the latter’s home, near Seven
teenth ami Brown streets, in this city,
Baker’* parents left them alone in the
dining-room, his father going out to
his store and Ins mother starting up
stairs. She had been gone but a mo
ment when three pistol shots startled
her, ami running back to where the
boys were, she found both lying on the
floor weltering in their biooa, mid a
bnll-dog revolver in Clayton’s hands.
Baker had two bullet wounds in his
head, and had expired. Clavton had
one bullet in his head, and (lied very
shortly afterwards. The boys wera

THE LONG DROUTH.
Thr»>«I,on* Dully Month! Without Rain —
Crop! ot all Kindi Greatly Damaged.
An officer ofthe Signal Service, says:
“Relative to the long-continued drouth,
that during September it existed in all
sections cast of the Mississippi valley
aud in Texas. General rains have
fallen during October iu Tennessee,
Ohio Valley and the Lake region, but
the drouth has continued iu tiie Middle
Atlantic, South Atlantic and Gulf
States. Tiie little rain that has fallen
has not been enough to do any good
to the crops in these sections. At At
lanta, Ga., rain has not fallen for over
two mouths, aud it is estimated the
cotton crops in that vicinity will fall
short forty per cent.
Near Shreveport, La., it is estimat
ed that the cotton crop will be only
two-thirds of an average. In the vi
cinity of Petersburg, Va., it has be
come necessary to close the cotton
factories on account of the scarcity of
water. The officer reports indications
of light rain in the vicinity soon, aitd
says there is a heavy rain storm in the
Lake region*. There lias been no rain
of consequence in or about Washington
for nearly three months. The shade
trees along the streets and in the parks
arc showing the effects of the long
drouth. Tiie grass in many places !*•
dead, and in several instances has
burned whcc accidentally fired, like
tlic grass of flic prairies.

II nlurial I'oiMon
Having spent much of my time for
tlic past three years in aud near Al
bany, Ga., I had gradually absorbed
malaria into my system, and my gen
eral health was completely broken
down; this perison culminated last
November in a congestive.chill, and I
was confined to the bed and iiousc for
five months; was treated by the
best
physicians, by all the approved methods
with no benefit; my health was awful
ly broken down ^ my»skin almost as
yellow as a pumpkin; a thick Itcavv
coat on inv tongue; no appetite; and
in a mlserabio fix generally. I was
induced in April last to take Swift’s
Specific, aud the first few doses con
vinced me that it was what I needed.
I continued until I had taken severa!
bottles, and am now a well man, the
poison has all been driven out of my
system by Swift’s Specific, and I have
gained thirty pounds in weight.

Strong For tho Plumed Knight,
New York, October 21.—Unless all
irtf is as safe tor the
signs fail, Now Yoi
Democracy in Novembor as the frost
is to form on the hills. The demon
stration of every class of citizens, of
every trade and of every interest
is in favor of the Democratic
nominee for President who is
tiie standard bearer of hones
government, and who has made mem
orable and emphatic the campaign slo
gan that public office is a public trust.
The business men from the exchanges,
the clerks Irom the counters and count
ing rooms, the scholar from the halls
of learning, have espoused the cause of
this eminent Now Yorker who lias
held the confidence of the people as no
man lias held it since the rule of Mar
tin Van Burcn and the supremecy of
Horatio Seymour. The candidacy of
Ben Bntlcr’was thrown into New York
to draw from Governor Cleveland’s
support and to distract his canvass.
Before a ballot is thrown Butler’s can
didacy is exposed, misshapen and put
to rout. Tlic most outrageous rumors
were circulated about Governor Cleve
land’s character, but tlic press and the
pulpit have united to clear him from
false accusation and slandcroqs attack.
Tin* local division, it is true, continues
unhealed and may not be cured. The
rival* tickets of Tammany and anti-
Tammany have been nominated—a
most unfortunate occurrence—bearing,
however, not so much upon the pres
ent canvas but upon the integrity of
the Democratic party in New York
hereafter.
New York is reasonably certain lor
Governor Cleveland, and the enforced
and prolonged absence of “the Plumed
Knight” from the State shows that he
has virtually abandoned the < contest
here. The corruption fund and the
military marshals are to bb turned
loose iu Indiana and New Jersey, and
the Republicans will contest these
Democratic^ rebonts with tlic energy
of desperation.
A FLOUR FAILURE.
The KaA at a Prominent AngniLe Firm of
MUIen.
Auousta, October ,25.—Tbi* morn
ing It became known on the 'streets
that George T. Jackson k Co., mil-
lere. had aold out to Thomas A. Scales,
subject to the liens of preferred credi
tors. Their liabilities are about $100,-
000 and their nominal assets $125,000.
Of the liabilities $85,000 is to preferred
creditors, who are secured by mort
gages on the mill and other property.
About $15|000 is owed at the North.
The National Bank of Augusta, which
is the largest creditor, has a mortgage
or the mill.- Smaller amounts arc due
to all the banks in the city, sonic of
whicli are not secured. The failure
is due to the depression in trade. Tlic
Excelsior Floor Mills, belonging to tho
firm, have a capacity of two hnndred
barrels of flour a day. Of late, the
firm has only received orders for about
that quantity per week.

“Future” Contract! In that Ntate.
Atlanta, Ga., October. 22.—In the
case of the National Bank of Augusta
against Robert E. Cunningham in tlic
Supreme Court, being a suit for pay
ment of a note of $3,500 given by tiie
defendant to Warren & Wallace, and
discounted by the National Bank, bas
ed, it is alleged, upon futures in cqt-
ton, tlic note being given by Cunning
ham to commission merchants to
cover margins, the Court charged that
if the transaction was a speculation in
futures tlic note was void iu the hands
of all parties, wliether innocciit hold
ers or otherwise, and the jury found
for the defendent. Judge Rooney, in
charging the jury, held that^f part of
the consideration was legal and part
was illegal, tiie legal part should
stand. This case has excited much at
