To the Editor of The Greenville P1 News. Tl Please give me a little space in your columns that I may say a El few words in reference to the F< recent election. In the tirst place, I desire to | thank my friends all over the i State for the many kindnesses (J, and courtesies shown me during T< the recent campaign, and for the large vote tbey gave me on the 30th of August and 13th Septenw j M ber. From the bottom of my M heart I appreciate their kindness Hi , aud support. 1 shall endeavor to so conduct myself that ray friends will never have cause to regret their support. 1 have made the best fight that , 1 could; 1 have made it upon the highest plane of which 1 was capable. When I entered the race I was conscious that I was ' advocating what was right The campaign has but strengthened 1 my convictions along that line? 1 my conscience and skirts are 'cle#r- i b! In the second place 1 would urge my friends and supporters Fi not to become discouraged. We have made a good fight. We \ have fought upon high grounds! 1! and for the sake of principle. We 'I have nothing of which tr? l??' aw w /V 1 ashamed. Better things are in > store for us in the future. Right must and will triumph in the end. cu Go to work in earnest for the va ' cause that you love, and in the N? future good results are sure to ^'c follow. TC du ' In the third place, let me urge cot 1 my friends to be true ami loyal cu to the incoming administration. ^ By your earnest cooperation and aQ support it can l?e made lietter. It gt( is your duty as good citizens to B { stand by the law so long as it remains the law, no matter how l>r imperfect it may be. Wo have had enough strife and bitterness in South Carolina. Wo must get ? together and bolster up our ofli cers and assist them in the execu- cei tion of the laws. It is not the ?rf part of good citizenship to abuso th< and villify those in authority. On tho contrary the good citizen, (lu even though he may belong to y? the minority, will, after he has n,( made his tight, rally to the sup- VK port of those by whom he has Rr< been l>eaten and assist them in hit the discharge of duty. I therefore urgo my friends to throw aside disappointment and prejudice aud act as true Caro Iinmns ought to act. For those who have fought me i upon principle, who have l>een fair and have used no improper means, i have nothing but the kindest feeling. They have aimply done what they had a right to do. For those who have fought me from improper motives and have used doubtful methods I ^ have no harsh words. Tbev will I ^ * ,h find puniahment enough in the l?; cusations of their own cc.n icnco.
