in ?M isA 8olid Voto and Victory! C] Tlio candidates nominated by the Charleston Democratic Convention arc before tlie people.? They were fairly chosen, according to rule, by ? n Convention formed under the directions of the County Committee, in conformity with the constitution of the Democratic party in this Slate. There is no flaw in their title as the Democratic candidates, and the only Democratic candidates, j in Charleston. This is sufficient, without goiug further. However tompted any. Democrat may j be to grumble or straggle, every sensible and ( unselfish Democrat kuows, and admits, three ti* things: < 1. That, as the Sis te Executive Committee say m< in their address, "there is no peace or hope, no bhivai ion or success, iur ouum vuviiu*, caw|.v by anil through (lie Democratic party." Ten years ?f Radical rule are proof cuough of this vc inasmuch as auy revived Radical party, in this da State, must be composed of the same material, and, therefore, have the same faults and weaknesses as the old party. ni 2. That the Democratic party cannot give the j)(| whole State peace and hope, salvation and success, unless the party be united. Absolute and "r unfaltering union enabled the Democracy to win 011 in 1870, and, if they now split up, they cannot 8y ecure, this year, -'a surpassing and final victory." Di 3. That it is impossible to have union, and strength, which is its consequence, unless the Democracy submit, without murmur or question, to the mandates of the party, and support, with zeal and energy, the candidates of the in party, whether good, bad or indifferent.? The election of the worst possible Democratic ticket, under the circumstances, is bet . ?? - ... ....... my mrotron 01 inc nest 1 conceivable Radical ticket. We must consent to ra bow to any edict, however tyrannical, and to w allow any dose, ho n ever nauseous. We must sloop, if nee Is be, to conquer. This is Governor Hampton's view. Everybody kuows that St he is broad and liberal in his opinions. Vet (0 none insist more sternly than he on such cheerful obedience to orders as is the mark of the irue ami rising Soulier. ?? Every tins vote in Charleston County, white in aud colored, is required to be cast on election dny. We cannot spare one of them. And * .And every vote that is polled ought to l>e polled " for the whole ticket, from top to bottom, with- ? out distinction or difference. Every Democrat CI] ? wha wns proposed as a candidate in the County Convention is publicly pledged to abide by the Mi *' , action of the Convention, and, as a matter of course, to vote th??tuight ticket. So is it with no the successful candidates. They arc bound to support the whole ticket, and they will do it.? 1 Their friends arc under the same obligation.? 1,1 Whatever differences or antagonisms there were hi: before, there can bfe nwie now, aa regards the vv( soTeral parts of the ticket. In the Democratic ~ eye no man on. the ticket Ts W??r or. aay other man. Every candidate is entitled to w the solid vote of every Demecrnt in the County. There is nutning more demoralising than cutting jj and scratchingnickcts. Every candidate gives to the other candidates the beuefit ef the strength tai and iutluence ef his own peculiar friends, with lis the expectation that he will got the benefit of \y the influence and strength of the peculiar friends oT Hie reM of (lie ticket.

Ia another column will bo found an article with the above caption, taken froin the Charleston New* and Courier, which ia so applicable to this oountj that we aak every democrat in Union to cn re fully road it. The Radicals of this county, we understand, hero determined to consolidate their whole streaflh|hnod fl?e ticket nominated at their convention.

Notwithstanding June Mobley says our notices of bira has given him importance and strength in tho Radical party?as the denunciation of a scoundrel always does with that party?we tell our democratic friends that he alone is running the Radical ticket in this county, and every man who votos for it is nothing more Sor less than a follower of Juno Mobley. At a rtpullican meeting last Saturday, in Snntuo Townlbip, he inade a speech, one hour and three quaters long, to the colored people, urging tbcmto vote the whole ticket nominated bv tho RadiW Convention on (he Gth ot' October, and opct^y sUtcd that if that ticket was successful, even developed much strength, n new Republican par^y,would be organized and all its onndfcmtee 1880* %e Is tho*onIy man of that party who is canvassing for tho ticket, and he boasts tlut he will elect every man upon it. Now, the qu.stion to be decided next Tuesday is, shall Juno Tloblcy nnd his party friends govern Union Couity ngnin, or shall wo elect honest and capablt democrats as our representatives and county offices? If Juno elects his ticket this year he vill do the same in 1880, with himself upon It* That is just what he is after, sure.

There to not a man now upon the ra lical ticket who is really competent to fill tho office for wliicli he is noininnted. Tench, Lung and James hare declared that ' they are not candidates, therefore you caunot conscientiously vote for them. In saying they lire not candidates, thoy say they do uoj. want your votes at this election.

The most tho radicals expect to do this year is to test tho strength of their vote in tho Stale and find out how ninny weak-Tuiecd democrats they can carry in 1880. The deinocraHe vote this year will be as much against Grant, lladieal U. S. Marshals, llevcnue and other Federal officers, as if Grant's Electors were to bo voted for next Tuesday. o . ?

Wc had always supposed Mr. Long to be a true democrat, but do not lcmembcr having any conversation with liiin on that subject.? He has now set himself right before the people, as many told us he would. There is too much of the true stern man about him to be used us n cat's paw for Radical polities! aspirants to hoist themselves into ellice with.

Those democrats who allow their prcju dices to soYar control their honest convictiom i of what is their duty to their County, as t< i- cause thein to vote far any candidate upon tlx i- radical ticket, in preference to any one on th< >s democratio ticket, will certainly .ewap the devi t- far a witch, and will be ashamed of it directl; ;- their votes aft put into the ballot box.n Thoy will feel lliat they have turned their back js upon the democrats of Union County and give >f so much of their countenance ami aid to tna 10 parly which they know has tubbed, oppressc id ami disgraced the Htate.

In many of the I' strongest Radical Counties they have mode County nominations, but in no ease have tliey dared to run a straight radical ticket. In order p to give respectability and strenght to their tickets they have sandwiched them with democrats, i without even saying to the latter, "by your leave, gentlemen and in almost every such case the gentlemen whom they would thus disgrace have promptly and unequivocally refused m to accept the nominations. A few gentlemen of influence in Charleston, only, appear so anxious 111 for office, particularly seats in the Leg'slature, u! as to allow their fair names to be tarnished by running upon the Radical ticket, among some of tho most ignorant and worthless Radical negross, and nominated by a negro Convention. We cannot believe that such a man ns C. 0. 8 Meromingcr will allow his name to stand among ai the motley crew. lie must know that the prestige ^ ef his name will endanger tho success of the dem- ^ ooratio ticket now before the people of-Charles- w ton, weaken, if not entirely destroy, the democratic party in that County, and give hope and * strength to tho Radical party throughout the '' State. 11 When such men encourage defection in their f own party, nt?such a critical time as this, upon whom can j^.e rely hereafter in limes of great danger to tbp Slate. We can tell Mr. Meuimtn* 1 ger that if elected upon that ticket he will find n ho has sacrificed his good name and all his influence among the true democrats of tho Leg- q islature, to obtain a scat in that .body.

It is well known that many of the nominees en the* democratic ticket, were not our first choice, and wc think it is as well known that not one of the candidates on the radical ticket was either the first, second or last choice of any straigliout democrat in the county. Now, it is certain that every one of l)io democratic nominees were the clioico of a number of good incn of the jjarty. Well, suppose w% wcro to say jfcat we would uot vote for thosb on the ticket who wc did not like? Would not the friends of those incn denounce us as a traitor to tho party aud the cause of democracy? Of course they would; aud wo would not^lame them for it, provided they were willing to vote for our candidates on the tickets well as their own. No mnu can expect to have his own choice in every candidate, and if lie gels one-half to suit liim, aTlocent respect for the friends of the other half should induce him todofor them and their caudidates what he expected they would do for him and his candidates on the same ticket? *ote for them, llow much worse would it he to vote for a candidate 011 the radical ticket who is opposing every caudidate on your own ticket.
