Fellow-Citizens : A struggle of
far-reaching and wide-spread importance
is now in progress. By its result
the collective morality of the Anteri
wui iviii uw aim luuii \
fitness to govern themselves with wis-1
dom be judged. To refuse to condemn ;
crime is io condone it. To choose as i
President a candidate who ha*; betrayed ;
a public trust is to invite and encour- i
age official infidelity. In a govern-:
ment of and for the people, venality j
in him who is elected Chief Magistrate j
is more portentous of ill than the j
shadow of the sword. The wounds 1
inflicted on liberty by I tie hand <>t
military power may, in course of time, j
be healed; but national blood-poison-1
ing> t>y corruption in high placcs, is !
necessarily incurable. This political!
campaign, therefore, concerns you. not!

know neither North nor South when

are imperilled. As you value rectitude
and constancy in the servants of
the people; as you prize the general
welfare.*and are" resolved to secure to
posterity your heritage of freedom; so
must you, in the coming election, zeal'
ouslv and unflinchingly do your whole*I
duty.
In name, the present political contest
is between two great parties, the
Democratic and the Republican. In
one of these parties, however, the
political line is broken. Among the
most ardent advocates of the election
of Cleyeland and Hendricks, the Demreinrtiflfltes
for President and
Vice-President, are Republican citi-1

The people, this year, were ripe for
political revolt, but the managers of
the Republican machine scoffed at
criticism tmd hooted at Warning.
Rendered reckless by a long lease of
misused power; debauched by ill-gotten
gains, the machine-made delegates in
the Republican Convention chose as
their party's can didate for President a
man who attracts to him, as with a
magnet, each official rogue and hungry
knave; and who draws to him, as like
unto like, evety political speculator
who craves tie 'means of peculation in

misconduct in the past. So it is that,
in the person of the leading- candidates,
Cleveland and Blaine, good and evil
will straggle for the mastery in No.
vember.
The success of the Democracy is
desired by legions of citizens who have '
heretofore looked upon, the Democratic
party with dislike, if not with distrust.
Former differences are forgotten, now
that the country must choose between
the high-minded champion of administrative
reform and the self-regarding j
representative of what is most debas- j
ing in Amerlc-.n public life. In the j
days of the Revolutionary war, the |
embattled firemen of the United Coio-;
liies were one in thought, one in pur-!
pose, one in action. Whatever their;
former associations - or prejudices;!
whether they' dwelt on the silvery
Hudson or the tawny James; whether
they trampefLthrongh the pines of the
Carolinas or^Sahiverea and starved on
the slopes of Yalley Foi^pe, their only
thought was to dare all things, to en- i
dure all things, to do all things, in \
order to win .self-rule and accomplish i
national independence. This year,!
also, the American people fight forj
freedom mid deliverance?freedom j
from the tyranny of wrong, and deliv-!
erance from the despotism of corrnp-:
tion. In union, for thcr Union, is j
political strength and victory.
Fellow-citizens: You would,as loyal i
Democrats, take an active part in the j
present campaign, even if you were j
absolutely sure that, whatever the
event in November, you would retain j
a frugal, just ami capable government
in your own State. But you have "not
that certainty. Upon the election of
Blaine, the political cauldron would
again bubble in this State, and in
every State similarly circumstanced.
The defeat of Cleveland will palsy the
arms of those Republicans who have
hitherto striven to check the ferocity
and curb thc.rapacitv of. tho political
freebooters whe have chosen Mr.
Blaiue as their chief. Thoughtful and
high-minded Republicans, in evenState,
now pledge their votes to Cleveland,
because he is the embodiment of
the idea and fact of governmental
.mil T?s_ilnro i:i Vru
vember will deprive them of political
influence for many to come.
The Federal office?, big and little, are
counted by tens of thousands; but
there is not scope and; room enough
for the profitable employment of the
gentry who, as thev "will not be deadheads"
in the enterprise" and "sec various
channels in which they can be useful,"
will clamor for participation in
the profits. They will demand, "in
ease of Blaine's election, the opportunity
for more stealing, more rapine
and robbery, in the South. The pretext
for a "new crusade is outlined in
the Republican report on the Copiah
affair, and is hinted at in the letters of
"Rloir?/? onrl fJpruM'ftl T,ft All.
uig the- nomination for President and
Vice-President.
The Democratic party, the white
people of the State and their colored
allies, have conducted the government
of South Carolina for seven years. In
(every department of the State government,
in every walk of life, are the
marks and symbols of intelligent and
upright rule. The chief executive
officer of the ?tate has guarded vigilantly
the rights of the people, taking
care that the laws are faithfully executed,
in mercy. The judges on the
bench,, in their ability, conscientiousness,
and their high conception of
t&eir duties, are worthy of the day
when the decisions of South Carolina
Judges were respected throughout .the
land". The public expenditures have
been diminished; the interest on the
public debt js regularly and promptly
met. The school debts, contracted by
the Republicans and left unpaid, have
been lifted from the shoulders of the
UUUUillJUIIill ^ \ dt^iu J \jU\s 1IUIUWL VI
pupils in the public schools grows
rapidly; the length- of the school session
is extended] the pay of teachers
is increased. On all sides there are
evidences of that steady and healthy
growth which was impossible during
the agonizing years of Iladical dominion.
"So vast "has been the improvement
in the condition of the Stale that
it is estimated that the whole income
Of the people of South Carolina in
1:SS3 was considerably greater than
their whole income from every source
in ISGO. Of all this?of the tranquility,
the security, the comfort, the self:
resoecf. the nrofirres?, the pride in your
State and in yourselves which Democratic
rule gives and secures?the de feat
of Cleveland and the triumph of
Blaine will threaten to deprive you.
Naturally, your first thought is of the
:State Government. You control that
government in all its departments. In
its effect upon your fortunes, in what
[it assures and what it promises, the
: value of. that control is incalculable.
;With the election of Blaine the old
[difficulties will return. The defeat of
:the Democratic candidates for President
and Vice-President in November
will weaken that control. Nay! you
may lose it altogether.
; Fellow-citizens: Lack of success in
^ai campaign so auspiciously begun, and
Hinder circumstances so extraordinarily
favorable, will inevitably loosen the
ties which bind the Democratic party
^together. Yet another catastrophe at
*^.1 ~ ? .3:i. il :~
A,itt pons win luuuei xt uiuiuiut iu uie
"extreme to maintain the Democratic
^organization in its present breadth and
ryigor. Faint-hearted Democrats will
"be tempted to abandon the losing side
and seek new alliances. Opposition
to the Democratic party in this State
will, indeed, be alarming, when a
strong-body of while Democrats, seeking
political independence, shall give
cohesion and energy to the colored
masses. ' From such an alliance nought
but evil can come. Then your choice
would- lie between submission and
revolution. Even if you can, two
years hence and two years afterward,
elect such a Democratic government as
that which the State i*>w possesses,"
vou will still, ii> the event of defeat in
the national arena, be confronted with
trials and dangers from which you
now are free.
It is evident that there cannot be any
thorough harmony between the race?,
any general co-operation for the advantage
of the State, an}- absolute assurance
of the permanence of Honest
Home Rule while a horde of officeholders,
scattered through South Carolina,
use the power and authority of
the United States as a cloak and a
shield in their plotting against the
tranquility and welfare of this Commonwealth.
They distort facts; they
circulate falsehoods; they warp the
public service to partisan 'ends. Such
conduct is mischievous enough in
States where the voters, as a class/are
thoughtful and intelligent. It is criminal
iu a State where the majority ofthe
voters are ignorant, credulous and
suspicions. The freedman is only too
ready to yield blind obcdience to the
partisan behests of Federal -officials.
To his untutored mind they represent
the United States on the hustings-in
the same sense that they represent the
Government in any department of the
public service. And the professional
banditti who pervert to the uses of a
political party the agencies which were
created for the -general good, run no
risk of immediate punishment or loss.
Upheld and rewarded, in any event, by
the party iii power at Washington, defeat
in this State does not dismay
them. The custom houses, the postoffices,
the bureau of internal-revenue,
the court rooms of the United States
Commissioners, are then' entrenchments,
their.hospitals, their camps of
refuge. They sally forth like the freebooters
of old when there is any hope
nf nlnnrlpr. W thou mr?pf vtrif-h
sturdy resistance they retire in haste
to their strongholds. There they rel>air
damages at the public expense.
There they plaster their wounds with
government notes paid out to them for
suppositious services. There they live
and thrive, growing sleek and fat whoever
else may suffer. The flag of the
United States, waving over them, renders
the deu of thieves as inviolable as
the Temple of Liberty itself. These
knaves, these raiders, these robbers
must be banished 'from the public
places which they defile and desecrate.
Put in the Federal offices zealous, pure
and industrious men, who will show
their respect for the government by
making it respectable, and the political
reformation.and industrial restoration
of South Carolina wilL . be complete.
The cloud which now veils the
ever-shiniug shii of progress and content
will be dispelled, and the United
States Government, as known and
jridged by its officers and immediate
representatives, will become a trusted
agent and friend, looked upon by all
good citizens with pride and satisfaction,
because worthy, in every part, of
??????i???
the Republic and its people.
Fellow-Citizens: You have every
incentive to labor unremittingly until

THE "INDEPENDENT" PARTY.
A Secret Convention?Electoral and Congressional
Nominations, Etc.
On the 20th of August a circular
was issued from the headquarters of
the Independent party-of South Carolina,
103 Meeting street, Charleston,
S. C., as follows:
A Convention of the "Independent
Party of Sohlh Carolina," will be held
at Columbia, on Thursday, September
4,1S85>, at 12- o'clock, m., for thie purpose
of making nominations and transacting-any
other business which may
be deemed for the party's good.
The State Committee will meet on
the evening before the. Convention at
-the United States Court House to transact
some very fmpoatant business.
All members are urged to be present.
J. Hendrix McLane,
Chairmau..
T. Barker Jones, Secretary.
In accordance with this notice there
was a meeting of the so-called "Independents"
in Columbia on Thursday
last, in the postoffice' building. The
proceedings were secret, but it is
known that J. Hendrix McLane was
chairman and Dr. Bowen, of Marion,
secretary. Orangeburg, Charleston,
Aikcu, Marion, Fairfield, Chester,
Chesterfield autl Sumter arc said to
have been represented. It was claimed
by a delegate, that there were about
seventy-five members in the Convention,
including white and colored. All
the white men who were present were
Greenbacters.
The Convention nominated an electoral
ticket as follows: At Large? .
W. AY. RasseH; of Anderson, and
C. C. Macoy, of Chester. 1st District

No i.oraination? were made for the
Third or the Seventh District, which
is in accordance with the recent statement
of Mr. W. W. Russell, that no
opposition would be made to Congressman
Aiken's re-election, and also
an evidence of co-operation with the
Radicals in the Black District.
The nomination of a State ticket
was entrusted to the State Committee;
and their selection will be announced
at an early day, should the committee
deem it advisable to place such a ticket
in the field.
The electoral ticket is iu the interest
of Blaine and Logan.
THE CONDITION OF THE CHOPS.
Returns to the State I>epartment of Agriculture
for August.
The returns to the State Department
of Agriculture, September 1, have just
been compiled. The reports show that
a drought ol irom four to six Weeks
has prevailed generally throughout the
State, proving very injurious- to growing
crops.
COTTON.
The excessive-rains 111 June and July
gave the cotton plant a vigorous
growth, and during the latter part of
July, after it had been freed of grass,
fruited well, but the weed was full of
sap and the rains have been followed
by cool nights and a protracted
drought. These unfavorable conditions
have caused the plant to shed
heavily. Bust has appeared,in every
comity and the bolls are opening prematurely.
The growth of the plant
has been checked, and in some sections
all the blooms and squares have been
cast, leaving only bolls partially and
fully matured to ripen. The crop Is
from ten days to two weeks later than
usual. The" yield now depends larger

THE PLAIN'S OF THE ENEMY.
WHAT THI2 RADICALS ARK TALKING
OF DOING.
Opposition to the Democratic Congressmen
-The Fight Against SmalLi-The Proposal
to Han a State Ticket.
[ From the JS"cw$ and Courier.]
There is naturally a great deal, of
curiosity to know what plan of campaign
the South Carolina "Republicans
will adopt this year. There are all
sorts of rumors in the air about the
vigorous efforts that are being made to
resuscitate the old corpse, and. -"the
leaders" arc displaying more than
usual activity in getting their old followers
into line again. Whatever the,
extent of the revival of Republicanism
in the State, there is certainly good
reason why the Democrats shouM b<j
unceasing in their vigilance. In foar
of the Congressional districts which
are now represented by Democrats
there is talk of opposition to the Democratic
nominees, and it has been 'seriously
proposed by some of the more
prominent members of the party that
the Republicans should nominate a full
State ticket. This Question and all
other questions as to the policy of the
party in the State will be determined
at the meeting of the Slate Convention
in Columbia on September 23.
' UN THE F1UST DISTRICT
it is generally conceded among.theJtepublicans
that John M. Freeman, - a
colored lawyer of Charleston and a
clerk in the citv postoffice, would be
the strongest candidate that could be
nominated for Congress in opposition
to the Hon. Samuel Dibble, of Orangeburg.
As there is a clear Democratic
majority in this district, of course'
Freemaii will, uo'tbe elected even if he
should be nominated, but it is evident
that he is willing to be sacrificed. In
conversation' yesterday with a reporter
for the J?ews and Courier> Freeman
said: ' 'Ex-Assistant District Attorney
Marshall is spoken of as the man who
will be brought out to oppose Mr.
Dibble. I have been urged to accept
the nomination myself. I have, never
sought the place and will' not seek it;
hnf fhpvp arA fp/nr TtrhiV wfinki rfifnfie it
if tendered."
Other prominent Republicans say
that Freeman's chances for the nomination
are good, and that he is doubtless
the coining man.
There is no fear of the result in thisdistrict.
No Republican candidate
could overcome the Democratic majority,
and Freeman's object in becoming
a candidate can only be accounted
for on the presumption that he has an
idea that Blaine vrill be elected, and
that Freer.. .u, having encountered defeat
for the cause, would then be in
the direct line of promotion, and
would merit the approval of the Tattooed
man from Maine.
EN-THE SECOND DISTRICT
^here has been so far little talk of opposition
to Mr. "Tillman. Within the
last few days, however, S. E. Smith,
of Aiken, a colored man, has been
mentioned as a possible candidate tor
Congress from that district. Smith is.
unknown to fame. It is fair to' pre%;
diet that he will hare a hard road to
travel, but doubtless he imagines that
he would not be a dead-head in ease
his illustrious leader should be sent to
the White House.
IN THE THIRD DISTRICT
it has been rumored that W. W. Russell,
of Anderson, the chain-man of the
State Greenback committee in 1882,
would be a candidate for Congress
against Col. D. "Wyatt Aiken.: There
can be no truth in" such a report as
Mr. Russell has already openly declared
that he will support Colonel
Aiken. Even if he should run against
Colonel Aiken he would be overwhelmingly
defeated.
IX THE FOURTH DISTRICT
the Democrats will have a "walkover."
IK THE FIFTH DISTRICT
there has been some talk of opposition
to the Hon. John J. Hemphill, but so
far as known no definite organization

been mentioned as a probable -candi-.
date for the Independent nomination.
This can hardly be true, however, as.
at is understood that Mr. ^al lace voted,
at the recent Democratic primary elect,
tion in York county* and-by so" doing
declared his return to his old afSiiafciou
in the Democratic party.
THE SIXTH DISTRICT. J .
It is not improbable that the Repubr
licans will nominate a. candidate for
Uongres.s in the Sixth District in opposition
to the Hon. George W. Dargan,
of Darlington. In 1882 there was a
triangular contest in this district, Mr.
Dargan being opposed by Dcas, colored,
Republican, and Dr. Bowen, white:
Greeiibacker. Bo wen ba^ been exceedingly
qniet- since his defeat two.
years ago, but'Deas is now and Iras-'
been for some weeks circulating rather
freely among his "constituents" in the.
Sixth District. His speeches '6n several
recent occasions have been characterized
by great.bitterness, and ; he is
doing all he can to influence the passions
of his ignorant followers.

UIUIA; lAiiidiuiaui/u; .yuiuiiau/ii in tuc
Republican ranks .'arid the Convict
Congressman is shaking in his shoes.
Smalls is certain, to .have very formidable
opposition. Some of his strongest
supporters in the past are drifting
away from him, and there is no telling
where it will end ; The-extent of the
revolt against Smalls is not known,
but it is more than probable that there
will be a sharp struggle for the regular
Republican nomination and a hard
fight at the poils after the nomination
has been made. [There has been some
talk of running a Democratic candidate
in the Black District, but it will
probably not be done. Most of the
Democratic papers oppose the movement.
Quite a number of Radicals
are mentioned in connection with the
nomination.]
THE GENERAL rOLICY
ot the Republican parrty as to the
nomination of State and county tickets
will be determined at the approaching
State Convention. There is a strong:
disposition among tne leaders to norm-1
nate a full State ticket. Tbe Democrats
could wish for no better luck than
that the Republicans should decide to
make a straightout fight for every
State, Congressional and county office.
It would give life and variety to the
campaign. It would put the Democracy
on its mettle. It would close up
the lines all over the Sfatc. It would
result in the utter rout of all opposition
to the Democracy. It would
break up the Republican party in
South Carolina liually and forever.

D. R. Feaster, of Fairfield, has received

The French rail-way authorities are
at present engaged in a series of experiments
from which, perhaps, onr own
directors might take some hints. With
hot weather coming on, or at least in
the ordinary course of nature expected,
the problem is now to keep the railway
carriages cool. In France travelers
are packed very tight, and most trains
go very slowly, and the authorities
nave to arrange to deliver their human
cargoes at a distant termini with vitality
not quite extinct So they are now
exercised in seeking how to cool their
carriages. They have gone as far as
India for suggestions, aiyi the favorite
experiment is with a kind of punkah.
A long cylinder runs the length of the ;
roof of the carnage, furnished with
fans, set in motion by revolving the
cylinder. After many systems tried,
this seems the most practicable, and
the only point in dispute is how to get
the motive force. The surplus steam
of the engine has been tried on one
line, and on another a little arrangement
like a windmill attached to each
carriage, Che motion of the train causing
the win^s to revolve, while the oc
cup ants of each carriage can regulate
or arrest the stream of air. Both systems
are being tested; and our companies
need only take the benefit of
those experiments and adopt the most
successful or the least costly.

. and a host of other ailments, for all of
which they are s safe, sure, prompt, and

which they are held by the medical profession.

A Sufferer from Headache writes:
"Ayee's Pills are invaluable to me. and

Fills are the only thing I could look to
for relief. One dose "will quickly move my
bowels and free my hfead from pain.* They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
I have ever found. It is a pleasure to me to

Although a practitioner of near twenty years,
my mother influenced me to procure B. B. B.
for her. She had been confined to her bed
several months with. Bheumatism which had
stubbornly resisted- aU the. usual remedies.
Within' twenty-lour hours after commencing

Just commenced her third bottle and is nearly
as active as ever and has been in the front
yard with "rake in hand," cleaning up. Her
Improvement is truly wonderful and immensely

bottle of B. 3. B. has been marvelous,
giving more relief than all other treatment
combined. It is a quick cure, wMle others, if
