DEMOCRATIC TICK'ET.
FOR CLERK OF COURT,
W. H. KER.
IPOR 'COUNTY COMMISSIONERS,
It. E. ELLISON, St.,
JOHN A. HINNANT,
CORNELIUS R. MEANS.
The conference of teachers and
oducationists in Columbia, upon the
snbjeet of the common school sys
tom of the State, will doubtless ' ae
coinplish much good. The present
system as a whole is an ahnirablo
one, but it may be modified in many
particulars, so as better to meet the
peculiar wants of our people. The
experience and learning of thos
whomn Superintendent Thompson
has called in council give assurince
that their deliberations will attend
-.with the most beneficial results.
The Election Ordered. .
It will be soon that the election
>for Clerk of Court and for County
Commissioners for this county will
take place on Tuosdav, September
4. It now behooves the Democracy
of Fairfield to marshal their
strength, make their organization
'stronger than ever, and bo ready to
win a victory at the 1)011 . The
pending contest is of an importance
mot less than that of the general
telection last November. On one
side there is the Demnocratie party
of tihe county, represonting all tiet
highest interests of the people, and
.on the other is the Radical party
led by the same set of ignorant,
venal and purchaseablo negro poli,
ticians who figured in the haleyon
days of Scott, Moses and Chamber,
lain. The "Citizens' Ticket," we
are pleased to say, has been with,
drawn by its originators, and the
issue now is squarely between the
organized Democracy on the one
side, and the awakened Radicals
on the other. Tho RadicAl
.party has been revived. Joe
Thompson, long a leading poli
tidian, has been made coun
ty chairman. The "lights of the
party are in constant consultation,
and are working in all p)arts of the
county. Whether they will get up
a .ticket between this and the day of
election, we cannot say. But it is
none the less impoetant to have the
Democracy reanRy (for any emer
gency, and prepared 'to !pIut dlowni
any opposition. Every township
club should be at once put on a
campaign footing, and b)e ready for
'orders. We must win this fight.
"We cannot afford to lose anything
that we have gained. Let us all,
whai over may have been our for'
mner preferences, unite in a resolui
tion to elect the entire Democratic
,ticket.
About Union Leaguers.
There has been a good deal said
lately about the appointment of
"Union Leaguers" to oflice in this
*co'mty. The charge-is laid at the
<door of the Democratic County
Executive Committee, that they
recommended the appo'ntment of
:throe menibers of the long-since
defumnc't Union 'League. Trho per...
.sons allumdel to are Trial Justice
Mackey, Trial Justice Coleman andl
Jury Commissioner Lee.
Mr. Mackey was an outspoken
oepublican until Chamberlain's
'noniination, when he 'announced his
~purpose tto cut-loose from the party
sand do what he could for Mampton.
How.much he accomiplishiel dluring
the campaign we are not p)rep)aredl
ito say, buit.we do know that he took
an active part. .Me voted and can
vassed for the DIemocr'atic State and
ecounty itiekets, but likewise voteti
for Hayos and WVheeler'. Ho never
pronounced himself a Democra.. And
whether he was over .a (Union
1Leaguier, -we have no positive infor
mation. lie was summarily put out
roason othor than that ho had takcon
sides with the right, and cond imed
the wrong. He was afterwards
recommended for appointment by
the Exceutivo Committee.
Mr. Coleman wan the choice of the
people of his section. As far as
our information extelnds, ho has
always given satisfaction il the dis
charge of his oflicial dities. His
specialty seems to bo in keeping
down petty litigation, and inl saviN1g
the county largO sums of money in
costs. We have no positive infor
mation as to his relatiois with th
Union jelgnole. 110 voted for
Hampton.
Israel Lee, the jiury en,:nitissioir
Emio out for n1ptont early in the
[mnllpaigni, anl"d did good wor:k among
thO (olored )0le)0. His 1ppOinit -
1nent was in fIultilbient of the
pledge of the Dem iocracy to recog
nizo the colored man's poltical
rights, and in recognition of his
faithful Fervices during the (am
paign.
We think we h:tve clearly vindiea,
Ltd the courso of the Exeum ve
comnitteo inl ll:tking tho appoilit.

hopo to hoar nothing more about,
the matter.
Withdrawal.
MebsSrs.Edor:
Influeiced by a desire tv promliolie
bio wveare of tho conlity, and to
restore, as far as is in ourt. power,
turmony among 1our citizens, we
4 terehy withdraw the "Citizens'
licket."
