Co the Democratic Voters of the 7ih Cmgressioual District: Oo Tuesday Nov 8t)b, the people of .his country will be called upon to lecide what shall be the policy of this Government for the next four years, vhether it eball be administered by he party which has been in power or a decade, or by the party of Jeferson, represented in the persoQ of fudge Parker. An election at eny time is a matter >f great importance to the people, for n a republican form of government, leriving its powers from the people, >ach individual is a sovereign in him'elf, and the final referee of every tfatmnal Sr.ftto and TVicai controversy. To the people of the South this flection is of the most vital imporatice. Guided either by an idealist, >r a man wrapped up in bis own amotion, the Republican Party threat>ns the reduction of Southern Representation in Congress, and ?culd destroy white supremacy, if he danger of such action was not so preat. I quote a plank from the piatorm of the Repubncau Party. "We avor 8qcb congressional action as shall determine whether by special htcriminalioQB, the elective franchise n any State has been unconstitution-^ illy limited, and if such is the case, >ve demand that representation in DoDgress and the electoral college ball be proportionally reduced as lirected by the Constitution of the [Jnited States" This plaDk is a ieclaration rf the purpose of the Republican Partv, if it is successful it the polls on November the 8;b. Republican Congressmen and Senators have from time to time io he past, introduced bids looking to he accomplish merit of this end, bat lot until now, if my memory serves ne right, has the party, as such in ionventioo assembled, pledged itself n this direction They justify the idoption of this plank in iheir platorm on the ground that Southern States, tbrougn the adoption of sufrage clauses in their Constitution, lave abridged the right of the negro o vote in violation of the 14th and 5th amendments of the National )oi stitutioo, and they propose to lumsh us for what we have a constitutional right to do. Force is given to their claim on ccount of the very small vote cast a the Southern States in the genral elections. Congressional. Disnets which should c-,st twenty or hirty thousand votes, frequently ast no more than four or five thous,nd. It is asserted that such a vote 3 not representative of the will of he people ia such districts; either bat, or that our suffrage provisions teny the right ot suffrage to the oajority of the people of the District. ien^e ibis demand for a leduction q our representation. To tbe Democrats of this C:>n;res?ionai Diatnet, there is an adhrioD^l aad p-rh*ps a stronger YiJEK>\ S. C. J reason why a fail vote sbou-d be hid i For years past, the seat of this- Dis, r.ricfc has beeo contested by some I Rspublican cindidifce, usually, a I colored maa. This year they have | nominated a negro preacher, who | seems to be making a more active canvas9 than was made two years ago by the negro D*ntzier. What his total vo'e will be, or whether he will have the united support of his party, I am unable to say, yet the very fact that he is a candidate, convinces me that he wiil ioetitute the old contest which bas given so mush worry to myself aLd my predecessors. In the former contest I was greatly ? j: J ? utiuuiouypeu u_y tuw iauo tutu uui.jr ? small vote was polled ia tbe District, and it is to the interest of every Democrat, and bis soiemo duty and tbe discharge cf bis solemn oath to support the persons named in the primary, that the full vote of the District bk given on the 8;,h. It will greatly strengthen our case before tbe committee which may be hostile A close House makes the contest all the more dangerous. I, therefore, sincerely and strongly urge that everv man qualified to vote under our Constitution, go to tbe polls aud do so. No more dangerous condition can possibly overtake a citizenship > in a government pillared upon the vigilance and intelligence of its people than that of lethargy and carelessness in the exercise of the right of suffrage, or inattention to their civic duties. May there be no cause for complaint in this District. For the information of those who may nave possiDiy ovenooKea ic, i give the language of lb* Constitution relative to the qualification of voters in this State: "Any person who shall apply for registration after January 1st, 1898, if otherwise quai- I itied. shall be registered: Provided, That he can both read and write any section of thi6Cinstitution submitted to him by the registration officer or can show that he owns and has paid all taxes collectable during the previous year on property in this State assessed ?t three hundred (?300) or more." You should take both your registration certificate and tax receipt. With the hope that everv man will do his doty on the 8:h, I beg to subscribe myself. Very truly, A F. Lever, D_-m. Nominee for Congress. Was a Success. We are glad to know that the State Fair was a financial as well as a social success this year. Tb6re is a proposition being agitated looking to a petition being made to the Legislature at its coming session in January, askiog for a portion of the revenue of Cieaisou College derived from the privilege rax to aid the fair. We are not at present sufficiently informed concerning the merits of this proposition suffi i-mt to warrant us in expressmg ??i opinion.
