Senator Gorman save tnac rNaw York city will poll 2.r>,000 more Democratic votes than in 1884. The deadlock in the Third Circuit convention was terminated Saturday by the nomination of Mr. Wilson. The steamer Monkaeaton left Savannah for Liverpool Friday with the enormous cargo of 8,398 bales of cotton. In our territory of Alaska, people at this time of year can see how to read without artificial light from 2 o'clock in the morning until 11 at night. Speaker Carlisle is to make a can' vass through the Northwest over the exact route taken by Blaine. This will make the latter feel like kicking himself back home. In the city election of Newark, N. J., last week there was a gain of 2,000 Democratic votes and it is now claimed that that Slate will go Democratic by 10,000 majority. Graded schools are becoming extremely popular iu this State. The graded school at Camden opened October 1st with 160 pupils. The graded school at Johnson has even a larger attendance. It is only twenty days to the elec tion. Every Democrat in Lexington | i county should walk np to the polls on the 6th of November and deposit his vote for all the nominees of the party. Several months cinee a man was lynched in Charleston, 111., for a "crime he was supposed to have committed. Now the fact has been clearly established that ho did not commit the crime, and ten well known citizens of the town who took part in the j lynching have been indicted for mnr- j der by the grand jury. It. would have { been a great deal batter if those citizens had allowed the law to take its course. Almost invaTiablv, it is better in such cases to rely upon the law. The schools of California are sop- i plied with text books published by the Slate. The best talent of local educators is employed in writing j these books and there are no array of they wouh/,*'l-i>.':{ if pnridiascd IYon? f outside publishing houses as is the | case in South Carolina and other ; States. The boots are highly spoken ; of, and a small percentage of the j 1 irioney received from their sale is! regularly applied to paying for the i I plans of the ; nblicfttion department which will thereby be paid for in a few years without costing the State | anything. If the "solid Si ml Is should ever be ! split the country would witness a i slate of affaire in thin sect ion that \ would cause honest Americans to ' hang their heads in shame. A divided South means, for generations, i f nut forever, a mongrel government made j np of the worst elements of both | races, bankrupt States and laggard people. What wan expei ienced ; twenty yearn ago would seem a {.leas- i ant remembrance compared with : V? biit VTOnlii ho experienced if flirt j Son lb should becomo divided. Ti there are any a ho are disposed lo linnt np pxciiwh for breaking away from parly ranks, it v.oji'd Powell for thbin to consio< find j'-o iy nfTilintif>?? in the Sontii means n tp'? as ikal more than party supremacy. Tt is vital {<> the social and l-mineris ini.-reftfs of the people that no Pl. o issues he jaised to lead Dm asals astray. -fc'v? . ? \ j I Jh'ccosdings ci the Lexington Township Democratic Club. Parsuu.Lt to a call of the president, ! at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, 13tb inst., many of the members of the Democratic Club of Lexington Township assembled in the court house and was called to order by the president, who stated that the object of the meeting was to give some expression concerning the recent primary elec<:.v? ? f~ii ,v.,^ uuu, ;?iit'i wuii'u ilic iunuHibg picamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas; at the Democratic primary election, held in this county on the 29th of September last, for the purpose of nominating candidates of the Democratic party of Lexington county for Senator, Representatives, and I ho difibreut county officers, in accordance with the rules and regulations heretofore adopted and observed by the said party for conducting said election, such gross and flagrant violations of said rules and regulations were perpetrated and allowed at a number of the ballot-boxes, notably at Peak Station, Spring Hill, New Brooklaud, Lewiedale, Nazareth Church, Martin's Mill, and some other preciDcls, by voting numbers of drunken Radical negroes, puffing thgJteHot-boyl'nd many other lrt^dulentafrfWilegal devices and irregnlaritifcs both in voting and counting :he votes, as to render null and void the result of said primary election; and whereas the Executive Committee of said Democratic party did meet at Lexington C. H., on Tuesday the 2nd of October, following said election, and although these violations of their rules and all Democratic usages and principles heretofore governing our primary elections in Lexington county were patent to their observation during said election, and a knowledge of the same was brought specially and forcibly to their - ?? -X I -1 ... HlIBtlllOIJ ov WllUllJtli nut* fill iirot j?iwteat presented to their body by Mr. S F. Wiugard, one of the candidates for Senator, through his counsel Judge Crawford of Columbia; yet said Executive Committee did tabulate the returns and declare the result of said primary election, as if no frauds and irregularities, calling for any action on their part, had been committed therein; be it therefore Iiexvlcrd ]; That* we the Democrats of Lexington Township iu club meeting assembled do denounce said election frauds, and other illegalities aud outrages as political offences of the blackest and mo6t disgraceful character, and that we hereby enter our solemn and indignant protest against announcing the result of said election as the voice of the majority of the white and law-abiding Democracy of Lexington county. being fully oouviuced l>y raaov and incontestable proofs that said frauds and irregularities were committed and suffered to pass unrebuked by the managers and Executive Committee of said election, we as Democrats who desired and expected nothing but a fair and legal election, do not feel bound either morally, politically, or legally to support the ticket thus nominated at the general election. 3. That if the election had been conducted fairly and honorably as it should have been aud was intended to bo conducted, we would have made no complaint and uttered no word of protest of any sort, whatever may have been l he result of the same, and we would have cheerfully supported the successful ticket at the general election in November. 4. That as citizens of Lexington county valuing the character of her people for integrity and fairness in public affairs, we deeply regret that the hitherto fair name and fame of our county should bo thus tarnished and disgraced, and published to the world stigmatized by political fraud and eorruphou so disreputable and dishonorable. f?. That we the members of Lexington Township Democratic Club asr ombied, are in favor of putting before the people a straight Democratic ticket in opposition to the so-called "spotted" Democratic ticket. That a copy of these proceedings 'fe sent fh^ Lexington Dispatch, Tj swiedalo News, Peak Atftcs,.Charles: too AV'uv: and Courier, and Columbia Register, with leanest to please publish. The meeting then adjourned subject to a call of the president. j mo. w. eakheakdt, jk., Secretary j?r> (em. c. e. leaphakt, Bresidnnt Lexington Township Demoeratie Club. ..

I | "Lot Her Boll." | The primary election ju^t pussed 1 | has in the opinion of some thinking ; meu shaken ibo Democratic party of ! Lexington county to its very foundu! tion, and if any conscientious, obstrvaut mau doubts this assertion, there j can bo positive nroof brought, forth t 1 to show that this primary election is the grandest fraud that has ever been perpetrated on the white people of Lexington "me old conuty." FhcIs | are stubborn things to deal with, and "truth is often stranger than fiction." Yonr humble servant has been taught from childhood that nuder do circumstances is it a crime to tell the truth, i but just at this time and by the conn eel and advice of some of oor great temperance, moral leaders, it does seem like charity to keep the trnt.li hid, for a season, at least. Bat, fellow-citizens, the spark is kindling, fanned as it is, bv the indignation of I the working men of our county, and : ere we are aware, it may blaze forth i and burn, bringing down retributive justice on some who are not feeling cjuite safe at this time. The time is right here now when it behooves every man who is for the right to stand squarely up for the right, and .^mscientiqnslv^dq right because it is right to do right, an?l not f^mply because it is sometimee^iiSrbest policy to pretend to do right when at heart .we are in favor of wrong. Who are the legitimate nominee^ of the Democratic parly? This is a very grave question at this critical hour and is fraught with a great deal of importance, from the fact that every voter in the primary election is pledged to vote for the nominees of the Demo- j cratio party. The white people dare not vote for a Radical. Independent- | isrn is not safe?"Cousin Hiram in j this emergency what, shall we do?" i Let some of our wise men tell ns j plainly who the nominees are, and wo j will, with thankful hearts, respond on j the Gth of November; and by so doing j we hope to forever crush the life out ! of the black robed monster, who now j Las ua by the (hroat. and is threaten- ! iog the confiscation of what little : property we poor devils have, by heaping np taxes too heavy for a poor farmer to bear. A question, which seems at first thought to have no business here, and appears to have no connection with the primary farce, but upon close inspection, the pru- j dent and wise can form a clearer conception.' Are we able or willing to allow our County Commissioners to issue bonds thereby mortgaging oar property to purchase and .make free one (perhaps two) dilapidated bridges across Congaree river. What any man or set of men who claim to bo actuated by no seifish motives, and advocate such an outrage on the pockets of tax-payers and tax-pfiyers children, are dreaming about, is a difficult problem to solve. Gentlemen it is a 'dittle too thin," and if there is not sordid selfish motives at the bottom of this monstrous scheme, then put the author of this down as a fool. Methinks the loud and prolonged cheering by some of Klumbia's (Columbia's) proud citizens to the chagrin of soiae of Lexington's "big old countrymeu" at New Brookland on Mass Meeting day gave no uncertain sound. Another thought right here suggests itself: there was a very | heavy vote polled at that precinct, and dame rumor has it that uot a few of Klumbia's dusky skins added numbers to the poll list. The very best time to grapple with this dangerous monster is right now. Our taxes are too high already without tacking on the old bridges. It would be a great folly for Lexington county to accept them as a gift, for who could we elect as County Commissioners that are versed in the mechanical construction and cure of such property. The writer has a little knowledge of long span wood bridges, the durability of timber, when exposed to the ever changing, ever shifting, strain and vibratory motion caused by travel over them? also wind, rain, and even earthquakes, and the damp humid atmosphere to j which bridge timbers are always subjected. With the limited knowledge the writer has, were he a Commissioner, he-would shudder at the idea of accepting jt as * gift,. Were bridges profitable, they'Would not~b6~ offered for bonds on Lex.::gtou i . 6 | county. Still other questions present ! themselves. Are there any tax-payers ! in the Fork that expect relief fron^the i railroad tax as a result ol tho last, soi called primary election, if so tell us i exactly how it is (the relief) expected | to come. Again, are there any of tho | farmers along the Congaree. Broad ! and Saluda Livers, who expect aid ! from the other farmers of the county for the damages sustained by the high j waters? If so, say how,- and when, ; and by whom ? And now fellowcitizeus, the writer ! ; has said part of his say, and tuo1 it I may seem like there are some personal ! dings,- still they are not intended. ! Unfortunately, some of his healfrieud*, ! lie fears, belonged to the ring, but by what means they were drawn there, ! only a man who has had experience ; can guess. The writer thanks his j find that so tar he is free from any | combination or ring.
