FOR COUNTY COMMIISSIONER, R. . E LLISbN, 'SR., JOHN A. HINNANT, C0ENEIuS R. MEANS. "A irbudE divided agaihst itself sahall'ndlt stand." VOT 'r er Denocratic ticket strdiglitl'rtuglh. RAICArLISM Its not dead ; 'nor is it even sleeping. Ever on the alert, it will make a det6rmined di'ort when least expected. Ou-r or twenty-ono Stites thit will hold elections next fall, the Re publicans are ertain of only five Thirteen are Denmocratic, or doubt ful, with chances faroring the Democrats. RIEMiEDtER 'TiE dreadful days when the whites wero disorgani-/cd, and when the only 'hope of reform lay through the Radical door. .How vain was such hop, was snfliciently proved. Can such days recur ? SoME P'EoILE scom to argue that because they doh't 'know a man he will not make a competent official. Can one swim before he goes into the water ? Can one prove himself comnpotuett until he is tried ? The Democratic nominees will all make most satisfactory public servants. REMEMBER THAT a fillure to sup 'port the Dcmdcratic ticket will entail disastrous results, not alone upon the party, but .upon the per sonal and material interests of every citizen of the (State. Only by pro sonting a unitoed and determined front to ladicaliuen, can-that terrible enemy be destroyed. ?.I GovERaNoR HAMPTON has not yet ordered an election to fill the vacant offices in Fairfield. The Exocutive Committee, through its Chairman, recommende the '7th of August as the date. But -Governor Hanpton has boocn at the North ever since, and he is no'w at-tho'Virginia Spirings, re cuperating Uis health after a threat oned attack 'of pneuimonia. It is not known when he w'ill return. THlE NEW government four per cout,-'loan has proved an iturnenso success. TJhe subscriptions have - amounted 'to thirty-five millions, five millions--more than were called 'for. The demand for these bonds *at such a low rate of interest showvs 'that there is plenty of money in the country, which the owners are anxious to p'ut out provided they .can find good security. Lset confi.. dance ho restdred and the -money will 'be tforthcoming. A Word to Good Citizens 'and (iood Democrats. 'When, under the call of the Exec utive Commnitto, e very club met to send delegates to the County Club, all Democrats, and more ospecially ..all who participated in the meetings, - entered into a tacit agreement to abidio tho action of the club. Else, wvhero was the senso of having a nomination ? Can it be argued that any one wvent to a meeting and voted, with the understanding that his adherence to the party depended .on the success of his particular candidate ? That is not doing jus tice to the other si-de. That is not business. -Nor is it p)olitics. 'Why did not every minority at every pro emoint, club, on being outvoted, -have t-he roight to withdmaw, on thocehargo .that the meeting had been packed, and..elect a contesting delegation ? .And yet there was no contest. In -certain instances the minority did claim unfairness, but it nevertho *bas performed its duty in abiding the decision of the majority~however ,distasteful it may have been. Just jority of logalj delegates, voted for certain -candidates. And these candidates, -after putting their chances alongside of the chances of others, have a right 'to demand the hearty support of the niinority. Had the result been reversed the same principle would apply. What is right for 0o, I), right fdr the 'dthor. Tho charge is nade that caucussing and wire pulling were indulged in. Admit ting this to be trihe, it'was not con ined-to on side. -Each party had its cnd in view, and, to secure this, "t ad opted the customary -political tactics. That was all. It is but natural that the minori 'ty, or a portioh Of them, should feel disappointinont at their failure to .H sceure their *personal preference or I -the adoption of vhat they deemed the soundest policy ; the mlore so, thlt they were honost in their con, victions. But will they suffer -their resentment or their llief that the party may have blundered (in which belief wo hold they are mistake n) to causo them 'to lioo sight of the grave crisis brough t upon the peo p1 ? In their .cooler moments, we feel assured that they will recons.idor any stej; they nay have taken which will disintograto the )emnocrati party, through which, and through which alone, they have reaped tho inestimable benefits of good govern mont, low taxation, and even per - sonal liberty. Why, to-day, does the sun seem b righter, the air more pure, the carth with her growing crops, more smiling, the people more buoyant -with hope, than at this time last year ? Simply because the Demo. - cratic party, under the banner of reform, And welded solidly together by 'the solemn pledge of 1 its members to support all the nomi nations, fought the tight last fall, and plucked victory in the very teeth of overwhelming odds. Because all the whites, with a few ignoble exceptions, and all tho ,order loving, honesty-loving colored peo ple, stood shoulder to shoulder, each individual surrendering all his personal preferences, and even pri, vate iuterests, to the voice of the majority. What would havo been the result of an "independent ticket" " in that crisis ? Lot overy -man pause and consider the question, calmly, thoughtfully, seriously 1 -And has -that crisis passsa ? Has the Democratic party such a Jenso of p~ower .that it can .afford to fritter away its st-renigth in dlissensFions? W~e ask that question seriously. Will the-suni still shine brightly over a -wrangling .Domoeuracy ? It will not. Wheon the Democratic party falls,: tlm sun of Prosperity sets.-; and another hideous night of Radi calism will begin, ,in .wvhich fraud and crime will stalk abroad -without let or hindlranice, an(l the vilost demagogues and unprincipled ~knaves will step into office through the Radical door. Can any one tolerate the thought of such a future ? And this will be the inevitable reault of an independent ticket ! For, if this nomination do inot stand, though made with regttlarity and in accord ance with the .laws of the party, -what guarantee .is there itbiat .any subsequent-iomination will be wor th a farthing ? And, feeling the Demo cratic nomination to be worthless, and remembering also that the name Democrat is over hateful to the Radical er, applicants -for oflice would court the baser cleanont8, and intrigus -with .ignorance and bestiali ty to scure the public pap, to the utter ruin of the counity and State. In that horribjo evenit, the prostrate people will ask, not wvhy the Demo cratio party was destroyed, but who destroyed it--'nd the injury will recoil on the destroyers. We have written this artie ce~re fully and cahnly, avoiding ajl denun clation or .rocrimination. , but desir Qus of reasoning, and pointing out 4hhe dangers that bestrowv our path. We nok onr friends . to pause and reflect while they are yet on the brinkl of the Rubicon. .It is never too .lato to retrace a falso step. Yield a hearty assent to the Demo,~ cratic nomiatin.
