Address of the State Demooratio Committee to the People of the 8tits. Rooms or thk 1 StATK DkM. KXkCOTIVK CoMMItTBB, V Vukt'MDI.%, S, C., August 15, lSS'J. ) follow titiztn* : Tlie candidates nominated by the State Democratic Convention nt Columbia ure worthy of the support of the whole people. No other political body will, or run, present to you candidates for State otlloes ? ho have equal claims to your confidence. The Democracy of South Carolina have received tlie nominations with unfeigned satisfaction, and arc determined to ideal their candidates. It will be an unmixed blessiug to the Stale, however, if there shall be n truce to political strife, and honest men, with honest purpose and without regard to their political associations in the past unite in voting lor the upright, capable and faithful candidates who arc now before the people. The Democracy cannot be ex reeled to couiini?? .? loa.i Helves down willi luxation t"? r the benefit ottheir t'ormcr opponents, if these persist in preferring political tramps or imported vagabonds to Carolinians of proved worth and acknowledged merit. The principles declared by ihoStute Convention as loriuttlutiitg the objects and inlctition^of the Democratic party are iulclligible, liberal and progressive. They look to the preservation of IIon'8t Home Uule as the parutin not need of good citizens of every conditio., in life, and they pledge to all the people the just administration of eqnnl laws, nnd economy with efficiency in the conduct of the Government. In the broader arena of National affairs the South Carolina Democracy stntid pledged to the reform of the tariff system, so as to lessen the burdens on the people, nnd to the reform of the civil service as a means of purifying politics. When the political workers shall no longer have a hundred thousand Federal offices as a lure aud bail lor .1-i^n ittivn. iho jiawar <?f combinations of unscrtrptih us politicians will assuredly be broken, ami for every candidate, within his party, there will be a fair field and ya tavor.? The Democracy demand likewise that ilie Federal Government, by liberal appropriations from the treasury for educational purposes, help the Southern Slates to convert the present and rising generation of freedmen into intelligent and responsible citizen). In nil things the South Carotins x'craocracy solemnly bind themsetves, hetore tbeir fellow countrymen, to |>ursue that public policy which will|uiake the whole people content, by securing their rights, guarding thei. privileges nnd fostering their growing prosperity. The Slate Executive Cotniniltee remind their Democratic fellow-citizens that, while the control of South Carolina has been won by the party, and with that control has come the intelligent administration of governmental affairs nnd peact in every Carolina home, the power of the Demo cracy can only bo maintained and consolidated by eternal vigilance and untiring etfurt. The Democracy arc uot so strong that they can ntlord to disagree or divide. Disunion would uow be ns perilous as in the historic campaign six years ago, when- five S?a;e was wrested from the grasp of the ignoiunl and corrupt. Toleration there should be wit bin the party lines. There is ample scope and verge there for the nssevtion of individual views and opinions, llut those who abandon the party or oppose it. because the measures they prefer have not been adopted, make themselves the enemies of good government, whether they choose to masquerade ns Independents or boldly Haunt the black fl tg of the Republican party. Political solidarity is ar important ns ever before, nnd there is less excuse than in any previous canvass fur discontent aud desertion. Opposition to the Democratic candidates and the Ifein tcratic platform, in this campaign, must be taken ns proof of invincible ignornuce, or of greel and ambition that would sacrifice the brightest hopes cf ilia State for the gratification of personal desires. The State Committee earnestly urge their fellow-Democrats to exert themselves to tho utmost to bring out a full vote, and to SDure no pains to swell the tanks of iho colore.1 Democracy. By well considered laws, repeating and ballot-box slutting are alike guarded against. The Democracy, therefore, can go into the canvass with the assurance that the strength of the opposition will not be increased by trickery or fraud, and with the satisfaction of knowing that, in South Carolina, there shall be, beyond dispute. a free and fair election. By personal exertion, in exhibiting and explaining to individual voters the benefits and blessings of Democratic rule, tlie Democracy can c tintn md the intelligent support and continuing co-operation of the colored people. To this end no labor, no persuasion, no argument should be spared ? So will the Democracy be proud of the triumph they shall enjoy, as the lawful and legitimate results ofjttst administration, v.ise nominations, liberal principles, and systematic and unflagging work. This we owe to the State, a id we owe it to the traditions of the master-rnco to which wc belong. Victory we must have; nnl llonot with victory. James F. Izi-ais, Chairman. G D. Bryan, IVn, Munro, J.

They say that the teason why it has resulted so successfully is that there was au openness about it never before practised ; that every thing has been above board, officeholders understand clearly that while they will not offend any one by not sending !n their assessments, they certainly will not if they "step up to the captain's office and settle*' as r:que?ted. It goes without saying, also, that those who have subscribed and paid up feel much more comfortable than those who fear, like George William Curtis, that they may violate some law by furnishing tHeir quota to the campaign fund.

Evins for CoN<ittKss.--In renominating the lion. J. 11. Evins for Congress, the Democratic Convention of the Fourth District hns done good work. In his six years' service at Wi shington. Congressman Evins has shown himself a faithful and vigilant representative of his peopto, a '-working member." yet one who could speak f>r his State whenever occasion demanded. In Congress his sound judgment has commanded the appreciation and praise of his fellow members from every section ol the Union. Uniting conservatism with courage, he has been eminently a safe as well us a fearless nhnnnion ?f h Carolina. Few Congves-mien are able la do eificicnt work for their constituents until they have had tl e experience which several years of service in Washington give. Congressman livins is cITicient, laborious and experienced, and his renomination is an endorsement of his services and an earnest that the people of his districi desire a cominuance of the representation which has 8aiistied thein in the past. It is significant that Congressman Kvins in Washington has steadfastly advocated the prin ciples announced hy the recent Democratic Convention of the Slate which apply to national affairs. lie has been always fir a revenue tariff, for civil service reform, for national aid to education, and against .lay-ltubhellism and the other principles of the Itepublican party. A iiong the gentlemen who were candidates for the nomination and who were defeated, there aro citizens as capable as Congressman Kvins and as devoted to their people. The frien Is who supporte I i hem in t he Convention will naturally feel regretful at their defeat ; but Ihsy will be consoled by the knowledge that the nominee of the Convention is one whose record is bright, whose nbility is acknowledged, anJ whose experience is valuable. And tliey will acquiesce in the favorable verdict of the District and the State upon lite work of the Couveution?iVrirs and Courier. Dkatii or Sknatok Him,. ? Atlanta, August 10 ?Senator 11.
