lc. llo said the. gamo thing of tht
lopubliean party, but as ho has al
ays claimed to be a Democrat, hit
idgment of the Democratic party
iay bo acopted us the rosult of in
inato knowledgo, while his charges
jaiust the Republicans are evidently
out hearsay and prejudice, and not
> well oiititlod to belief. The fact*
jfore the country and the people ol
lis State are that tho Democratic
irty is confessedly dead and the Poplist
party impracticable. No thinki?
man doubts that at tho next olecon
tho Republicans will sweep tho
tun try and regain power for a long
irm of years.
In tho face of this situation an efrt
is now being made to destroy the
opublioan and negro vote in South
urolina. Tho only justification sugjstod
in this course is the alleged
tsiro for white supremacy-au.d fearof
gro rule. The bnly argument
Ivanced for its support is the rehash
the sins of tlie so-cailod " Radical "
ivernnicnts in this State from 1 st?S to
7<i.
Wu ask tho people of this State to
insider soberly and honestly certain
ets which cannot be disputed.
Tho masses of the uogrous of litis
. no have never shown tho least doro
to persecute their white ticighirs.
There was corruption in tho
-called Radical governments, but it
is ohicily the work of alien >>e>Iitiuus
and tin' result of their bud leadcrip.
It is a fact that the men now
eminent in the Kcnublieuu imrtv
issed through that time of tempt a>n
ami debauchery unstained. In
.liiatixn of tiie sins of the negro we
ay submit the testimony of the while
mioernts regarding tiieir own govnnients.

X's of t he fo-cailcd " Kadicul" tinio

ieii We liavo Governor Tillman's
idcnco that far more pounds of eot11
nnd moat and busiiels of corn are
ede.l now to pay tax"s than at any
riod of tnc " ltailic.il " government.
>body can claim that t!ie people arc
prosperous r.o.v as tlicy ivi rc then,
twitiistanding tlicso things the Kehlicans
and the negroes of the State
vo for eighteen years submitted
icily to the rule of the minority
th wonderful patience, with docilitv
d faithfulness and hope which mpst
:tl' vn go the adi 11 i rut ion and enlist
u sympathy of the world,
l'hcy have yielded everything with
i dly a murmur, 'l'hey have seen ail
j promises made them by the white
moerats in lv;7(i broken and eonnptuously
ignored. Tiiey l ave.been
nishco from "he jury bnxiv. and the
Hot boxes and discriminated against
insistently and remorselessly. With
this they have gone on paying their
ire of the taxes, the manses of them
thfully, honestly and humbly striv:
to do their parts iu building up the
ute and to make themselves better
i/.ens and Christians.
S'tiw they are called on to meet a
[ position boldly, publicly and unts
hi ugly announced, that a eouven111
be held for the.declared anil exe.ssi
it purpose of disfranchising
on forever and leaving them entirehelpless
at the mercy of men who
ve shown every disposition to iud
their rights, to blast their hopes
d to crush ail their modi -t uspirunis.
Against this cruel, unprovoked
d unnecessary outrage we appeal to
e people of the country of all parties
d especially to those of Souto Caroa.
Kepresenting and speaking for the
publican party, we solemnly lieire
thai we are not acting for the
iteration of itcpublicau rule in the
ate, or for the destruction or i.nirmcnt
of white sitprema ;y. We
[ asking simply that U -publicans
d negroes he spared the right to
ist as citizens and he not put at one
ove on the level with convicts who
ve forfeited all eivil rights.
It is not only for the lo-publicans

Tlie Radical Cohorts dotting Ready
lor it Fight?An Assault Upon the
Democracy oi South Carolina.
Tho Repullcan State Convention *
which met in Columbia on the ltith instant.,
adopted the following platform : I
Wo, the Republicans of South Caro- 1
lina, in convention assembled for the 1
pat ty of tho State on a broader, more
liberal and more progressive basis, do *
declare our principles as follows :
On national questions, wo declare J
adherenco to tho essential principles *
of the national Republican party us 1
set forth in its platform of principle s
at Minneapolis in June, 1SHJ, that is to '
say : y
Wo are in favor of moderate and *
reasonable protection for American la- {
her and American capital ugaiiist the '
cheaper labor and cheaper eapital of
other countries. s
We are in favor of sound, full value c
money, whether of gold, silver or pa- c
per currency, for all classes of the
people, for tho " bread-winner," as 1
well as for the capitalist, for the poor *
laborer in his hut, as well as for ilie
millionaire in his palace.
We are in favor of a government sorj
vice based on merit and capacity, in|
stead of on the corrupt and debasing
.J nek solium syctem of "to the victor* Jbelong
the spoils.'' a
We are in favor of a free ami fair J?
ballot in all public elections, and an '
honest count of the votes east, for all
classes of citizen-*, whether native or
foreign horn, whotbor white or colored.
Tlu so we regard as the fundamental .
principles of the national Republican
party, and wo believe they are in no ?
sense sectional, and in no way hostile
or inimical to the best interests of the
South or of our own State. I5.it in io- j1,
eal State affairs our position is DCOU- j'
liar, and we are under the necessity of J1
accommodating ourselves to the situation.
Wo have for years been t'e- a
prived of any voieo in our State gov- 1
eminent by unjust election laws and
by fraud and trickery openly practiced. J1
At elections, we have gently sub- *
mit+cd to tliis wrong, hoping for the 1
retuVn of a more liberal and just sonti- V
mailt among our Democratic fellow j
citizens. We are glad to observe that
this long hoped for change of senti- ^
! inent seems to he takiug place among f
many of our very best and most trust- 1
worthy people, and wo would by no ^
act of ours, mar or check its progress, ^
on the contrary wo would promote and s
cneourairc its doveloouunt in evrvv s
way possible. . 11
Rut while this more just .sentiment J"
has been slowly gainiug ground on the
one ham), on the other an extreme f.ie- 8
tion has suddenly sprung into cxis- n
tenee, and by worse than dubious J1
methods has gained full possession of '
ail brunches of our State government,
the executive, the legislative, and, '
worst of all, the judiciary. This now J"
dominant, exultant and utterly un- '
scrupulous faction, proposes for the <
purpose of perpetuating its own v
power, to permanently disfranehis the 11
mass of iiopuhlicun voters, by a change' '
in the fundamental law of tho Statu. 1
Not content with temporary disfran- "
ohiscmcnt, by means of unjust election '
laws, partis in management of elec- '
tions, and fraudulent count of votes, it '
proposes to make this disfranchise- a
mont permanent by a change in our
State Constitution. Its purpose in
this respect is not left in doubt, but is
open and avowed during tho late campaign,
from every political stump in
the State by the "bosses" of the faction.
With this in view a factional
legislature provided for a constitutional
convention and factional managers
of elections "counted it in" by
the grossest kind of frauds at the November
elections in spite of an unquestional
popular majority against it;
iiid this, then, is the situation with
which we lind ourselves as Republicans
confronted, and from no fault of
ours, for we have done nothing what v?
r to provoke it.
The question we are now called upon
to decide is: Shall we fold our bauds
anil quietly submit to seeing ourselves
disfranchised, our most sacred rights
as citizens taken away ftom us, and
even the means of educating our children
eut olT by the repeal of the public
school tux ? If we do this We furnish
to the world tho strongest possible
evidence of our utter incapacity and
unfitness for citizenship. If, on the
contrary, we proceed to carefully organize
our forces all over the State, in
every town and county, and manifest
our readiness to co-operate heartily
with liberal minded and justice loving
white citizons, and under their loadersbid,
wo will show the woiMd that wo
jure not unworthy of citizenship: we
i will llirium MIim.pilI lirwl fiili* j
Democrats to organize and take ?i bold '
stand affuinst the injustice and tyranny '
of the dominant faction, and wo will ]
show that faction itsolf that re oonsti- i
tuto a faction to bo respected. lint we <
should make it clearly and distinctly <
understood that wo do not propose to
act on the acrossivo, hnt purely on '
1 the defensive, that wo do not propose
to make any effort to control the con- '
; stilutionul convention, hut only to i
assist, as far as wo can, in electing to j
it fair minded men and justice loving
citizens of such standing and cliaractor ,
that they may with sah t^ ho trusted
to frame a fair and impartial and con- '
i servutivo constitution just alike to all
classes and citizens.
To make it clearly understood what 1
in our opinion omrht to bo the course
of the romine convent i n. we may announce
I mo foilnwine fundamental
principle : , which will ho satisfactory
to us iicpuhi ieans, ami which we think
ou^ht to h aeceptah c to all fair

Special Message lo Congressi \VI'
?o the Congress of the United States . AII
Since my recent communication- to sail
he Congress ealling attention to pur -pre
inancial eonuitiou and suggesting app
egislation which 1 deemed essential 1
o our national welfare and credit,-the be
nxicty nnd apprehension then exist- wil
ug in business circles have cont inued. Lzei
As a precaution, therefore, against veo
he faiiure of timely legislative aid, C
hrpugu Congressional action, cautious ind
reparations have been pending to in t
mploy to the best possible advantage, par
n default of better means, such exeeu- con
ive authority as may,, without addiional
legislation, be exercised for the ???
mrposeof reinforcing and maintaining
u our treasury an adequate and safe '
:old reserve. In the judgement of
liose especially charged with this re- S>
ponsibility, the business situation is <
o critical and the legislative situation , '
s so unpromising, with the omission
bus far on the part of the Congress ttf ? '
icnciieially enlarge the powers of the , '
ec'retary of the treasury in thd pre- ?
uisos, us to enjoin immediate exeou- ' 1
ive action of the .facilities now at , *
land. ... *' i'
Therefore, in pureuanee of secution '
700 of the revised statutes, the deails
of an arrangement have.this day ?
?een concluded with parties abundant- '
y able to fulfill their undertaking. ,'l
thereby bonds of the United States
,etherized under the act of July 14,
875, payable in coin, thirty.years after
heir date with interest at the rate of ?1
per cent, per annum to the amount of *
ittlo less than sixty-two millions and , V
our hundred thousand dollars, and to (
?e issued for the purchase of gold eoin 1
.mounting to a sum slightly in excess , NP
4 sixty-live millions of the United ?
itates, which sum, added to the gold '
iow held in our reserve, will so restore , '
uch reserve as to make it amount ?
o something more than one hundred '
nillions of dollars. Such premium is , '
o bo allowed to the government upon ?
he bonds us to iix the rate of iuterest '
ipon the amount of gold realized at , *
he rate of three and three-fourths per ( ?
icnt per annum. ( '
At Least one half of the gold to he I , '
ibtained is to be supplied from abroad, V.
yhieh is a very important and favor- 1
I'hlo feature of the transaction. The , '
irivilege is especially reserved to the
fovernuient to substitute at par with- '
n ten days from this date* ip .lieu of ,
.ho 4 per cent coin bonds, other bonds ,
n terms payable' in gold and bearing '
inly J per cent of tho issue of the same ,
ihould, in the meantime, be authorized ?
iy the Congress. ' Tho
arrangement thus completed , |
vhieh after careful inquiry appeal's ?
n present circumstances and consider- ' :l
ng all the objects desired, to bo tho ?
lest uttainabie, develops such a tlifereneo
in the estimation of investors
letween bonds made payable in coin
inu inoso specineauy muuu payaoie in
fold in favor of tlio latter as id ropro- "D,
tooted by throe-fourths of a cent in
iifuual interest.
fn the agreement just concluded,
the annual saving' to the government
>f .'I per cent gold bonds should bo substituted
for -1 per cent coin bonds under
t,ho privilege reserved, would bo live
Hundred ami thirty-nine thousand, one
hundred and fifty-nine dollars, amounting
in thirty ybars, or at the maturity '
if the coin bonds, to sixteen million,
me hundred and seventy-four tbon- |j|

(>( lymrstjy .tjhei'O ipyyc should bo a

in gold of the bonds of the government
which are made payable in coin.
Therefore tho discrimination in the
judgment of investors botwpen our TJ<
bond obligations payable, in coin and .
those specifically made payable in gold AI
is very significant. It is hardly necessary
to suggest that whatever maybe *1^
our views on the subject, the sent!- ^
ments or preferences of those with
whom we must negotiate in disposing
our bonds for gold are not subject to
our dictation. CF
