I ?rre I ^ j Rei (iieenwood, Oct. 1.?R U Tok Cor I bol t, Jr., chairman of thoRepub bo l lican executive committee, has tior just issued the following address: wil To the Republican Voters of the State : Por The continuation of the Repubil lican party in the control of the | ^jftl t affairs of the nation is of vital im- j e portance to the American people . at this time, and they have to con- ; 1 PIcc. gratulate themselves upon the fact I ' 11)0! g I that at one of the most critical, 1 - I moments in the history of the na- i non i I o tion a wise, considerate, humane] and patriotic chief executive in ! r1^' t the person of President Win. Mc- con I, Kinley, presided over the affairs an d of slate and brought our country CC( s honorably and safely through its j*e'1 y trying period of war. The preseut State udministra- 1 o tion and the present representa- j y tives in congress from this State! owe their soculled election to the n suppression of the ballot by a r criminal nullification of the con *or stitution and laws of the United to ' States. This iniquity suppresses r the political voice of 100,000 vo( e ters of the Republican party of n the State and hears the stamp of (j a double crime because of the * false color of legality givon by ^cl the State constitutional conven- ma 0 tion of 1S95. tha ,j The vice, crime and immorality ?r< of this legalized infamy has been (^e' e connived at so long that at last Par )S the Democrats of the State havo f?r x come to regard the right of the inb j. ballot as belonging exclusively to the themselves, and the outgrowth an(l of such views is expressed openly to t [. at times of registration and on of 1 (I election days in South Carolina the 8 Republicans of the State look con ,0 with impatience for the proper the . correction of these evils by the of t Republican party, which is now and ,j in control of the three branches pi a of the national government; for tior it cannot ho believed of a party, tru ir pledged to the protection of the Sta ^ rights and liberties of the citizen, gov that it will not eventually see its age duty and exercise all its power to I ^ and authority in making such Re| pledges effective. Sta A free and honest ballot is the foundation stone of our Republi- ^r' y can form of government and when the present congress conies to pass die 1 j upon the election cases of Repub- j sig I lican contestants now pending we j Fir J believe that it will accentuate its cor | disapproval of the lawless moth- vill j ods used to secure the return of I Democratic members from South |(i i Carolina and thus com net fair I < 10 j elections in this State. fiel It is deemed wise and politic to j tin* ls await the results of the reaction i *'c< i* ^ which will eventually set in i? c?a South Carolina and will retire ^ j those who aro prominent in the cor ie commission of crimes against suf- cor B frago, and until this condition is brought about by the action of cm ^ congress, we deem it best to re- j. | frain from nominating a State jj j ticket, at least for tho present am y year, and vour State executive hei h committee has so decided. her We idadlv call vour attention *e d " ' " hoj to the fact that a reunion of all ft^.

The Republican ty of the north has finally and ever abandoned the policy of srfcring with the suffrage in southern States; it has finally I forever abandoned the negro :he control of the white men :he south. Public opinion in north sustains all legal and stitutional methods by which intelligence and the property ho south maintain ascendancy, 1 it is heartily sick of tho comints that come from this seci. That is the plain and proven th. \ny negro party in this te exists merelv to provide 'ernnient places for its manrs and a supply of delegates be suitably bribed at national publican conventions. ?Tho ,te. ig.
