"SUPPRESSION OF THE lilt ALLOT.1, It M The Key-Note of the 1- ight the Republicans Will Make? r Chairman Tolhert Issues an Address. c I G teen wood, Oct. 1.?It B Tol- C bert, Jr., chairman of the ltepub 1 lican executive committee, has t just issued the following address: v To the Republican Voters of the * State : 1 The continuation of the ltepublican party in the control of the j ^ affairs of the nation is of vital im- I portance to the American people i at this time, and they have to con- c gratulate themselves upon the fact i that at one of the most critical 1* momenta in the history of the nation a wise, considerate, humane I r and patriotic chief executive in I the person of President Wm. Mc- c Kinley, presided over the atTairs ! of state and brought our country r honorably and safely through its i* 't trying period of war. The present State administra* : tion and the present representa- j1 tives in congress from this State! owe their socalled election to the v suppression of the ballot by a j v criminal nullification of the con stitution and laws of the United * States. This iniquity suppresses the political voice of 100,000 vo- ^ ters of tho Republican party of the State and bears tho stamp of a double crime because of tho false color of legality givon by ^ tho State constitutional conven- r tion of 1895. * The vice, crime and immorality Iof this legalized infamy has been <: connived at so long that at last X tho Democrats of tho State have j f come to regard the right of the 1 . . ballot as belonging exclusively top themselves, and the outgrowth a of such views is expressed openly t at times of registration and on o election days in South Carolina. t Republicans of the State look c with impatience for the proper t correction of these evils by the o Republican party, which is now a in control of the three branches p of tho national government; for t it cannot bo believed of a party, t pledged to the protection of the | ? rights and liberties of the citizen, ? ti nt it will not eventually see its a duty and exercise all its power t and authority in making such 1 pledges effective. ^ A free and honest ballot is the foundation stone of our ltepubli- * can form of government and when the present congress comes to pass ( upon the election cases of licpub- |s liean contestants now pending we , 1 believe that it will accentuate its c disapproval of the lawless moth- \ ods used to secure the return of , Democratic members from South | Carolina and thus compel fair elections in this State. j t It is deomed wise and politic to , t await the results of the reaction i * | 4 which will eventually set in in South Carolina and will retire j iL. _ motso who iiro prominent in the t commission of crimes against suf- c frago, and until this condition is * brought about by the action of ( congress, we deein it best to re- | frain from nominating a State j ticket, at least for the present ? year, and vour State executive 1: committee has so decided. ^ We gladly call your attention j to the fact that a reunion of all ^ Republican elements in this State ] has been effected and those who separately contended for the main tenance of Republican principles ] ecognizc the truth of the maxim hut "in union there is strength,'' ,nd have again enlisted under the 'Union Republican Banner," a eunited party. In most, if not in all, the con ;ressional districts of the State tepubliean candidates for tin* 5(Jth 'ongress of the United States wiP >o voted for at tho coming elec ion and all efforts and energies vill be concentrated to secure heir election. Tho united sup >ort of all Kepuolicans to these lepubliean nominees, without re^ :aid to past party affilliation, is he imperative du*y of the hour. Ul Republicans are urged to turn ait at the polls on the day of the lection and east their ballots for heso Republican congressional lominecs. If any have been denied the ight to register under the new onstitution, let them offer to vote nd, if rejected, have immediate ecord made by those who will be elected by the party to give alention to the matter. Relieving in the ultimate triimpli of right, and relying on the verruling hand of Providence, vhich aids in all laudable efforts, ve advise the ceaseless warfare or the principles which are dear o all true and patriotic men. R R Tolbert, dr., Chairman State Executive Com. Greenwood, SC., Oct 11, 1808. If Chairman Tolbert of the iepubliean State committee is a nan of intelligence ho must know hat he is holding out to the ne;ious of South Carolina a most (elusive hope. The Republican >arty of the north has finally and orever abandoned the policy of nterfering with the suffrage in he southern States; it has finally nd forever abandoned the negro o the control of the white men f the south. Public opinion in he north sustains all legal and onstitutional methods by which he intelligence and the property f the south maintain ascendancy, cd it is heartily sick of the comilaints that come from this secion.
